Links in Startup folder - keep or remove? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There are quite a lot of proggies starting up after boot which I am uncertain about.
Have you checked them already? What do they do? Is it safe to remove them?
HTCStartUp.lnk -> \windows\HTCStartUp.exe
PKG.lnk -> \Windows\PKG.exe
DelWMPTempFolder.lnk -> \Windows\DelWMPTempFolder.exe /RUN
poutlook.lnk -> :MSPOUTLOOK
Thanks for tips.

DelWMPTempFolder.lnk -> \Windows\DelWMPTempFolder.exe /RUN

Well im not very confident as they have masked it well, but I would guess that empties the Windows Media Player temporary folder, and so is worth keeping.
PKG.lnk -> \Windows\PKG.exe
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
See this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338656&page=2 It is used for running apps on storage cards, and can be removed but is harmless.
Im not sure on the other two, but as its a HTC phone and Pocket Outlook is quite important I would leave them alone!

Don't delete PKG.exe, i did that and my SD card was no more accessible....

Uninstalled/removed program but it's still there

I uninstalled/removed a program with file explorer, add/remove program in settings and also tried it with active sync. For some reason it is still showing up in my programs and I can still open it! Help!
try a soft reset after removal, that should do the trick
program removal
that didn't work.

try freeware Remover it should resolve your problem
Where can I find and how do I use the program you are referring to?

in windows\startmenu\programs the shortcuts are located
if you look at the properties of those programs you have uninstalled you can see where the program is located and you can delete it yourself if you like
Thanks, it seemed to do the trick. By the way, I don't really know how to manage my memory. It seems to be getting used up rather quickly. Is there some way I can move certain programs to a storage card or something to free up memory but still have full function of the software? I'm new to this. Thanks
well when you install the programs it ask you if you want them to install at the default location (that is if you install them using activsync)
if you say no you get the option of installing them to your sdcard
if you want to try it with already installed programs you could try
to move them and change the target in the shortcut
just make sure you recall where you moved them from if it dont work
and you like to move them back to get them working again
After deleting the file I was having problems with from windows I now am getting an error message: Cannot execute/Windows/StartMenu/Programs/IRKeybd.exe
I deleted the file, I thought. How do I fix this. Its messing up my imate.
when do you get that error ?
because if you get it after a softreset there may be a shortcut to it in windows\startup
I get the error all the time. It will come up randomly. There are usually about 14 pop up windows notifying me of the error. I looked for a short cut but don't know if I'm looking in the right place.

Ringtones not working,

Greetings. This is my first post in a couple of years after having problems with my HTC Universal [XDA Exec]. Please be nice to me :]
Before I made this post, I've been searching endlessly...but all I see are solutions for the same problem on a different phone running XDAndroid. So I can't find a solution in regards to the Touch Pro2.
Anyway, I have a problem. When I go to settings and set a ringtone, it doesn't show anything but "Silent." I took the advice I read at a thread from the Diamond and full formatted my SD on FAT32 and put the things back and supposedly it should work.
I tried that and I still have the same problem.
Did I do something wrong? Or are ringtones not working on the TP2 yet?
Thank you for helping in advanced. :]
+1. I've had the same problem for a couple months. It used to work fine, then tried another build and it didn't anymore, and hasn't since. I've reformatted over and over with different card readers, windows and linux, different apps... nothing has worked.
If this would help find the solution quicker.
I'm running the latest FRX06 arrrghhh created with all the latest rootfs and kernels.
I read a thread that I should go to Settings > Dev Tools > Media Scanning but I can't find it there...I'm assuming since that thread was back in September, it was an old version of XDAndroid.

There should be dev tools in app drawer,but you can try to see if in media folder there are files with strange letters or symbols..
Can't find it in the app drawer. I'm going to assume that media scanning is not there because I didn't put my SIM card in it. Well, I can't really put my SIM card because this TP2 is still locked by T-Mo and I have AT&T...just waiting for unlock code so I can use it.
But I've been messing with the phone for a while that I've been putting apps and utilities in.
Again, could it be the fact that I don't have my SIM card in is the reason why Media Scanning is not even visible?

I'm not sure if this is why Media Scanning isn't visible, but might be why ringtones can't be set/chosen.
I have a Tilt2 (RHOD300) with a working SIM and ringtone selection works fine.
I have had the same problem.
These two seps solved the problem for me:
1. full format the sdcard with the hp-tool
2. search for sounds with the mediaplayer

I found Development.apk . Though I don't know if that's the same as Dev Tools.
@Entrophy: If you don't mind, will you boot to XDAndroid without SIM for me?
And from what I recall Media Scanner runs everytime you boot it, and it tells you at the notification bar. Can you also see if it will prompt Media Scanner w/o SIM?

I'll simply edit this post for updates
EDIT:
So I got Dev Tools installed, and ran Media Scanner. One second later, it's done.
I go to my settings and its still showing just "Silent"
...or do I have to reset the phone and it will show up?
I don't mean to bump, but I just finished running Media Scanner, but it's still the same...

Media folder on the root? Yes, I do. But it only has one...and that's for Facebook.
I have the Media folder filled with all the ringtones and alarms inside the andboot folder..should I copy those and put it on the Media folder on the root?

oh,you have android in andboot..
could you try to move everything from root and delete rel_path=andboot from startup.txt
Does it make a difference? :O. I'm trying to just put the ringtones and all from Media folder inside andboot to the Media folder at root.
But if anything fails, I'll move everything to root and mess with startup.txt

i'm running out of ideas,and putting everything to root is the only one that went out of my brain
It's fine. Thanks for helping me up to this point .
Since I moved the stuff in the Media Folder already, I'll try backing it up, format the SD card again and put it back. I think it should work by then.
Thanks!

Use hp usb format tool
Formats really well
Without full formatting your sdcard with the hp-format tool, you will have no luck.
Copy your SDCard to the PC, format and copy it back, scan and enjoy.

[Q] Refresh?

I have a weird issue with my Echo phone.
I used FileExpert to transfer few jpeg images yesterday. The images did not show up in the gallery.
I restarted the phone and I could see the transferred photos under Gallery.
Same for music. I copied over some music (mp3 files). I went to the stock app (Music) and they did not show up. However, When I restarted the phone, the files showed up immediately.
I am wondering whether this is a regular phenomenon? Is there a way to refresh the stock gallery / music to ensure that the files reflect immediately? Or should i transfer files in a different way?
I am using Kyocera Echo, Gingerbread (2.3.4).
Any help is appreciated.
hmm, is odd, but if you go into setting and memory settings, then unmount and re-mount the sd card, and let the phone scan, then they should show up hope this helps
You need to force a media rescan after adding new media files. Both rebooting the phone and un/remounting the sd card will do it. There are also a bunch of apps on the market that will also do it.

I think it comes with CM7 so I'm not sure if it will work if you don't have CM, but this post seemed to have success. (and a download link - Development.apk = Dev Tools)

Damaged Internal Storage

When I turn on my Xperia S aparace in the notification bar "Damaged Internal Storage - SD Card was extracted unexpectedly". However I can copy files without problem and my windows explorer reads it well, I have ICS .45 rooted. The questions are, I have to give importance and worry? or how I can fix it?.
Thanks in advance to all
Did you override the SystemUI from the xps with the one from the T? If yes, thats a typo.
No its not a "Life or Death" error,one can live with it but it will just get bigger and corrupt more files.
You should fix it while the error is there,fixing is easy :
Connect the phone to the PC with the USB cable
Go to My Pc -> Mobile Devices -> Xperia S
Right click on "Internal Storage" and then click on properties.
Click on "Tools" Tab
"Check disk" and tick on the "Automatically fix errors" (Windows7)
Wait for it,and when its done,reboot your phone.
These errors usually happen when a file became corrupted cause of a unexpected reboot or things like that.
Goodluck.
Respect

I tried to do that, but when I click on "Internal Storage" and then I click on properties, never get the "Tools Tab", I only see the "General Tab", anyway I´ll keep trying. Thanks a lot.

Yeah. It's a bug with it. Simply ignore. The message was meant to be that the SD card is being mounted.

Even I have a folder named MTKLOG. It is related to some mobile logging utility. I do not remember how I activated the mobile logs. The device storage got full within two days of activating the logs. Have you deleted the folder?

Thanks. I deleted the logs. It was the "system logger" that created the logs. It started again after deleting the logs as it found space for logging. I stopped all logs and also cleared all old logs from the options in "system logger". I even reduced the space required for each type of logs to 5mb each just to be safe, which were 300mb each initially.
I still do not know how to start/stop the "system logger" or its exact location, but my purpose have been served. I will post it if I find it again.

You have a very good Android Jelly Bean OS system, but I get the feeling every Manufacturer does their own subtle unique OS because I can't find that.
I have a tablet that is similar to the JXD p1000 tablet, but it's generic, no branding. Definitely has the same specs.
But I have the same MTKLOG problem. How do you turn it off?

Yes, its perfectly safe to remove the files, but you have to also turn it OFF.
You do not want top have any logs running on your device!
They will quickly fill up your SD/eMMC card with junk, and if not fill it up, it will wear it out, in case the logfiles are recycled.
PS. If anyone has any info on how to read these log files let me know.
Just open them in notepad
Copy the .log files in your computer and open them using the notepad
Mtklog
hey-ya!!! I like to ask about my Celkon A62 regarding with memory. So actual problem is that when i restart my phone at that time one folder is automatically generate which is mtklog and start increase the size. After some time its totally full and pop-up the msg "Modem log is on the way"..... so what is it...so how to remove this error....????
plzzzz give me a proper path....its irritating i want properly remove that folder......??????
Hello,
I was able to deactivate the MTK logs using "Mobile Uncle".
-> Menu item "Engineer Mode"
-> Menu item "Engineer Mode (MTK)"
-> Scroll to the right to the tab "Log and Debugging"
-> Menu item "MTKLogger"
In the setting of MTKLogger, I did the following:
- Disable all the logs
- Change the "Log storage location" to "SD Card"
Then, I moved the existing log files from the internal memory to my SD Card. You could delete them instead. The files are here by default:
/sdcard/mtklog
Hope that helps.
Great tip Robbo1.
"Mobile Uncle" was not compatible with my device (a Huawei phone), but this alternative from the Play store did the job too : "Engineer Mode MTK Shortcut"
From the main screen opened by this app, scroll across until you reach the "Log and Debugging" page. Click on "MTKLogger", then click on the 'STOP' icon (small square) at the bottom of the screen - that will stop all the logging.
THEN, click on the SETTINGS icon at top right (faders icon) and then on the "log storage location" and change to SD card if that's what you want.
I then, using the phones inbuilt file explorer deleted all the folders and files under the original MTLOG directory releasing several gigs of internal phone memory.
I think Mobileuncle MTK Tools might be the culprit
PS.
Only now I can read tip #14 referring to Mobileuncle. Oh well ....
Hi Everyone,
I recently got Asus ZenPad 10 and was having space exhaustion issues due to mtklogs.
This is how I fixed it:
Click 7 times on build number found in software update option in settings to enable developer options.
Go to Developers options under settings menu and change 'Logger Buffer sizes' to off.
Voila! The issue is fixed. Hope it helps!

This didn't fix it on my Z300M. Are you sure buffer size OFF doesn't mean "unlimited"?
