Hi there!
Not sure if this is the right section to post this...but here goes.
I've got an apk I need to install stored on my external SD card. When I press to install it the display dims and just hqngs there until I press the screen to undim it.
How is this fixed?
Thanks.
When the screen dims and just hangs it usually means that there is a choice of apps to open the file/ execute the command, but in HC there is a bug that sometimes stops the dialog box from being displayed. You just need to rotate the Xoom with auto rotate enabled and the box will pop up.
Thanks for the reply Okantomi.
I pressed the apk until the dialogue box appears which gives me the choice of how to deal with the apk file, i pressed install. it then just hangs on the dimmed screen.
I will give your advice a go, and see what happens.
Thanks again.

Hi, would be really glad to get some help to get by the align screen!
The display is a little scratchy but it works, now 2 questions:
1: is there a way to using the computer or somthing to get rid of the align screen
Had this problem once before after installing a new rom, but then it worked out after many tries, but now it seems impossible just keep hunting the cross
2: Can you change the plasic over the touch screen (i have a HTC touch diamond)
Tnx in advance /would like to try the now rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521941
Can you connect via active sync?
If so you can use MyMobiler to connect and click to align.
Or I also found this:
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/sams...02003-skip-align-screen-after-hard-reset.html
not sure what it is, but it might help...
fnx for the fast reply, tried my mobiler and i see the screen on my computer but i cant use the mouse to align - still need to push on the screen on the mobile... and i cant get by the align screen, ill guess ill try the other link u had there! tnx again
Unplug the phone and just hit the power button off for a couple seconds and hit it back on.
If that doenst get you out of align screen just reboot the device and when it starts back up and gets stuck at align screen just plug it into your computer and wait till it syncs with active sync. Now use the computer to delete welcome.lnk from device memory/windows/startup folder. Unplug the phone and reboot the phone again.
Let me know if this helps you out.

tnx, for the help, i used the program on the first link and it worked - guess deleting the welcome.lnk work aswell!!! Now to the second question, can you replace the scratched plastic? i cant use the upper right corner on the touchscreen, kinda annoing to not be able to press the x or ok botton there....
Tnx again
cant find windows folder when i connect it to the pc? program dont work anymore so i guess its only to delete the welcome.lnk left but cant find it on my device?`what to do, cant get pas align screen...
Hit back home or "hang up". If you cant figure out how to use your phone, frankly, replacing the screen is probably gonna be to difficult for you to deal with yourself. Take it to a repair shop or get a new one.
Nothing works... just keep hunting the cross on align screen, cant get past it using the program on the link, and not buy pressing power button on and off, tried every button on the phone aswell, and cant find windows folder when connecting to active sync!!! so any ideas would be apprechiated
make sure in the folder option onthe pc you allow the pc to see hidden files and folders
windows is a system folder and they really dont like people pising about with it
so just enabling the "show hidden files and folders" in the option should show the windows folder also you may run into and issue were you cant delete the file you need to as its prtected. to get round this you need to download total commander on ur phone then navigate to windows folder and delete the file
totalcommander will erase anything you want as itll get round the protection
Hi, tanks for all the help, but it starts to get really annoying.... tried everything you guys have told me, but nothing work Found the windows folder but i cant delete the welcome.lnk as you told me! cant install total commander because i cant get past align screen - what to do? tnx again
look for an program called everywan for the pc
its a bit like my mobiler but itll show you memort processes running on the phone all you have to do is quit the welcome head app then you can get into phone. then use total commander to delete the file
this will need to be done one everyhard reset
The file 'start' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate...
I have no idea where to find this file and how to fix the situation. The error prompt pops up constantly and freezes my phone to where i have to soft reset all the time. I cannot do a hard reset on my touch pro as my friend got it wet on a canoe trip and the volume buttons are no longer of any use. It seems to only do this on newer roms as I can use the original ATT firmware just fine. I do not use a sd card to flash.
From what I've read over the internet I need this file's certificate or something or another. If this can be provided by anyone I would appreciate it. Thank you.
The message almost never has anything to do with certificates (if you're on a cooked rom, if definitely shouldn't). It usually means you have a bad shortcut, or an app is missing some files so when you try to launch it, it can't open. When do you get the message? What are you trying to start? Is it a program in the start menu, or is it something you're launching with a button.
You can always hard reset-clear storage will do it, and there are apps like sk tools that will initiate a hard reset.
It happens as soon as I turn on my phone. It's the first thing that pops up so it makes it really difficult to even do anything. I'll look around for that program for the hard reset. Thank you.
Ok, saw in the title that it's the program 'start'. Before you hard reset, look in your startup folder (\windows\startup). If there's a shortcut for something called 'start.lnk', try removing it (move it to your sd card for safe-keeping). You can also see what the shortcut points to by opening it with Total Commander, using the editor.
I have a T-Mobile HTC HD2. I do NOT want to update it or do anything that requires a factory reset. Whenever my Sense application freezes (quite often, and usually when I open a new text), I am unable to access the Settings menu to turn off or restart Sense in the Today Screen settings, because I cannot GET to the Today settings. It simply does nothing when I tap "Settings" in the start menu. If I have to restart the phone, it takes approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds to turn back on, which is unacceptable. I want to know how to restart a frozen Sense without restarting the Device (in a minute or less). I have tried ReSense and it does not work. I have also tried looking for the Today settings application in the File Explorer, with no success there either.
Try to use CleanRAM, and select level 3. Hope this helps, Google will be your friend.
Thanks! That worked to restart Sense and speed up my phone as well.
Hi guys,
I will let my experience here...
I had a very specific kind of freeze tha happened about 3 months since the last hard reset.
This freeze occurs this way:
- Someday (i don't know how and neither why...) when my phone restarts after about 2 to 5 minutes it freeze if still on any sense screen... and nothing works, except for push windows button that make it goes to start screen... On windows screen if I wait more than a minute to do something it freezes again and I need to push windows button again, then I can go to my folders and run any program...
- sometimes it just freezes if I push lock\end button and when I try to slide the unlocker it freezes and the only thing that works again is the start button.
- If I restart my HD2 without the memory card inside I never get any freezing at all...
- The solution: I deleted (on storage card) the "HTC" folder (in the "application data" folder and every file called "device" or "album" or "thumbnail" on storage card. On restart the phone create new files and foders like that, but the freezes disapears !!!
I suppose I should add "if anything" to the question ...
I have a Galaxy Stellar, rooted, using Titanium Backup.
Problem is:
When I slide the pulldown menu to get access to the status bar, the help tip box pops up to explain how I can tap a button to turn a function on or off. If the "Do not show again" box is marked and I hit the OK button, there is about a 5-10 second pause and a box comes up that says "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped", after which it will go back out to the home screen and another 5-10 second pause later it all seems to go back to normal. However, if I leave the box unmarked and hit the OK button, there is no problem, except that I have to hit the OK button every time I pull the status bar down.
Is there an app and/or function that I can freeze to prevent the help tips from popping up at all? I have already frozen (and defrosted) the Help app.
you can either do a clean install, OR using root explorer (or another app that does the job), navigate to /data/data/com.android.systemui/shared_prefs and delete the file there (there should only be one file in that folder)
then just reboot and it should be fine

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks for the reply ... found the folder okay, but there were no files in it, just an empty Lib folder.
Looks like I'll have to flash back to the out of the box ROM because even the factory reset didn't fix the problem ... although it's still in the warranty period so I might bring it back to stock and return it.
My cellphone is not showing the message "app example has stopped" when some application crashes, why?
In any android devices when some application stops working or does not respond, a message appears saying "app example has stopped working" or "app example is not responding", right?
But in my device, when I open an app that won't probably work, for example, it should show the dialog box saying the app stopped working, then I would click OK and keep using my phone normally - but this dialog box is not appearing and I don't know why.
The unique solution for this is restarting the phone when the application crashes. In addition, my phone breaks the screen but continues vibrating [when I hold the power button, for example] and lighting the buttons [menu and back].
If this dialog box appeared, I would click OK and normally keep using the phone without having to restart.
It will benefit you greatly to inform the viewers of this as to what your 'device' actually is, as that will save some time (I can't sleep so mines currently free. Nonetheless, I am thinking it, whatever it is, is in dire need of a factory reset. I'm sure if you clicked on the search button (at the top >> search plus) and typed your device model into the search box, you may find your current issue(s) or at the very least, the method you will need to backup and reset it.
Good luck
