Program data remains after hard reset??? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

I though a hard reset would wipe all traces of programs from my ppc?
After re-installing a piece of software i hadn't used for ages I noticed that it has remembered how many days of the trial I had left?
Where would the program be saving this data?

*BUMP*

If you installed it using activesync, it's probably stored on your PC as well as the phone.
It's also possible that the downloads themselves are hardcoded with an expiration date, but that's unlikely. Probably stored on the PC.

Danger?

is there any danger in doing hard resets often?you see whenever i install an app i dont like or if some inconsistencies show up in my device i always do a hard reset and re-install all my apps.i do this probably once a week.i know its kinda OC but i actually enjoy the re-installation process!!
I dont think so.. besides reseting devices are much more gooder than having the very old system in your device just like in desktop pc. Desktop PC is required to Format once a month to avoid some errors and stackup..
I'm constantly trying new stuff and hard-resetting and re-installing backup file (sometimes 2-3 times a week) and always have done on xda, xdaII and MDAIII and MPx220 - not problems so far.

XDAIIs - SMS draft missing

Whenever I compose and not able to send the SMS and click the OK button it disapear, in normal condition it shoul be saved in the Draft folder.
Although it is visible in the counter when I open the draf folder there is nothing in it.
I already perform a soft reset and try to boot in safe mode to check if there is a conflict with the application installed at my phone but nothing works.
I have tried to explore the folder windows/messaging to check if the Draft SMS is physically saved in the device and I think it is there (by checking the date and time of the file is created).
I need some advise on how can I solve this problem withou performing a hard reset, because rigth now I'm just manually deleting files at windows/messaging to save storage space.
I know harset will definetlt solve this but I dont want to perform a hard reset since I dont have a PC to configure my XDA back ang installed my favorite applications
You might need to hard reset...to solve this problem...
Avoiding Hard reset
I know Hard reset will definetly resolve my problem but will introduce more because I dont have a PC to doit as for now. I'm just currently renting one a internet cafe
wow is going to be dificult if you don't have computer..
Withou a Computer
Yah, I know it is difficult, although rigth now my hand are itchi to hard reset my phone I'm trying hard not to because I will not be able to use my favorite apps ang games. If I just have an admin priveledge with this PC that I am using I will not have any second thought to performe a hard reset.
That is why I posted my problem here, for my hope there there is somebody that could help me.
In addition I have Resco explorer install witha registry editor plugin, so incase i need to check or edit any file or registry I can.
You can try backup with Sprite Backup or Spb Backup. Hard Reset then restore everything except e-mail/messaging.

help: Error deleting file

Been running my MDA Compact III for just under a week now. Everything was going fine, tom tom working etc. Yesterday I installed SPB Pocket Plus , now I can't connect via activsync and can't delete any files (from phone or memory card), get the error message....
Error Deleting File
Cannot delete 'filenamehere': Access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and the file is not currently in use.
What have I done? I've tried a soft reset, that didn't work. I've took the memory card out and can delete files when I put it in a card reader. I'm hoping if changed a setting somewhere but I can't for the life of me work out what I've done.
Can anybody offer any suggestions?
I've never had problems after SPB Pocket Plus was installed. Currently I don't have it installed on my device since I use it solely just for navigation thus I cannot find a more concrete solution but to try uninstalling SPB Pocket Plus and see if your problem is solved.
Thanks for your reply, couldn't uninstall anything so had to go down the hard reset route. Wasn't too bad though, I got back up and running in about an hour will all my programmes installed and working again.
Still don't know what happened though.

activesync problems
iam also facing the same problem. is there any alternative solution for this problem other than hard reset.
thanx
It may have nothing to do with Pocket Plus but rather the mysterious problem discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285511
I had the same message and couldn't delete the erroneous files. My solution was also to hard reset.
My view
Oh i had the same problem,these files become stacked and are due to long paths,use the tool available at pathtoodeep.com ,it is a tool which deletes and also searches such undeleteable files and also assists in installation and sharing of long pathed files

Kaiser doesnt start , dont want to hard reset it :(

I have rebooted my Kaiser this morning and it took a while, and than came a message that it cant boot...
The Software i installed before the last reboot was s2p and before that i installed and deinstalled vito sms chat...
Is there a way to fix it without the need of hard reset or can i download files via the bootloader?
thanx SciLor
there may be, but if you're still waiting, it would be quicker to hard reset.
try to get used to it if you haven't already. It only takes me a few minutes now to setup after a hard reset, I keep as much as possible on a memory card, never sync with my PC, use mortscript to auto setup my programs and settings, and keep a copy of all folders on the memory card to copy accross.
I hard reseted it and used the last backup had (18March) ^^
i copy nearly everthing on my card but after the backuo WM5torage doesnt work.... even after reinstalling if i connect it it show the volume but when i click on it it says there is nothing

Install firmware from SD. How?

Hi there, My P3300 doesn't synch thru the usb cable, probably a false contact. Moreover, after a Backup it stopped working. I have the backup.exe on the phone, but I can't run it as I get the msg "digital signature not available or one of the components cannot be found ...". The phone is no more usable as probably some sw is missing.
In a few words, can anyone suggest a method to get a Italian firmware, and a method to burn it in, assumed that I could only use an SD card to inject it in the phone?
P.S. I don't care on saving the data, it would be enough to have, again, a working phone.
Thanks anybody for your patience, reading.
Bye
Hi,
I've had synching problems before too.
I've tried everything, but the only solution was a hard reset.
This restored the (active)sync utility and everything was fine after that.
Of course all data was lost!
Have you tried a hard reset?
