i am trying to copy/move file, it wont tell me" file cannot copy or move".. i heard that Vito Copypaste is a good program, when i try to download it, my device says ERROR.. Cannot be viewed on this device.. I am pretty sure i have the App unlock.. because i have google maps, total commander and so installed.. any suggestings?
my understanding is that vito is for copying and pasting text, not files.
use total commander to move files...
I have tried that already, its says, cannot move or copy file! so i dont know what else to do...
This may be a silly question, but is your device app unlocked? Vitocopy/paste works great on my Dash.
i would think so, since i have total commander, farcade demo, google maps.. I am also running WM6.. i have no other problems installing/downloading any other files!

When your device is still Application Locked, you can still install some apps and they would work, however, some apps wouldn't run, so the question is, did you app unlocked it or not?
yeah i did do app unlock.. just not sure why vito wont work for me....
If using vito copy/paste to paste from one program into another, I have found that you cannot paste into password fields -- whether in IE, Opera Mobile, Opera Mini. I'm guessing this is a security measure either imposed by Vito Copy/Paste, The OS, or the browsers. I don't know why it's any riskier to do it in WM than in a Windows, but whatever. That is a pain in the butt.
If you are unable to paste a file using Total Commander and your device is unlocked, it's possible that the file is in use by the OS, or maybe in ROM?

just to add..Vito Copy Paste App could only be used for texts only and only in edit mode. It would not work on files etc..
thanks for all the info.. i appreciate it! this is VERY HELPFUL... after all this hassle, i was playing with total commander and was able to move i needed to windows/folder.. i cant tell u why it worked, but it did! trying to get the fav5 program to come up on my homescreen..Thanks again
looking back at all the posts ...
it seems that people have been telling you that the program is specifically used for copy/paste TEXT ONLY !!!
yet you keep on indicating what you have been trying is to move/copy files !!
are you even reading the helpful inputs ???
roger that! well anyways, i have it all taken care of!

I installed a CAB file called Intellipad. I just wanted to have a feel of XDA Mini on my XDA IIs.
But, now I want to uninstall this application, there is no way that this is possible until I do a hard reset. This is what I know.
Is there any less tedious way of doing so?
Thanks,
Siddharth
can u not delete it from the windows directory? i dont know as i have it and like it, but dont use it, and havent tried to remmove it. i would have thought if u look in windows and find the intelipad files if u remove them u get rid.
That would definitely stop the application from running, but I don't think it would "remove" it entirely.
Windows as an OS does not facilitate "uninstalling" the application just by deleting the files.
I already did what you have suggested, but that still leaves "Intellipad" as a choice in the "Input Type" menu at the bottom right.
Thanks,
Siddharth
practical tip
I assume you have a cab file for installing the intelipad.
open the cab file on your desktop to identify all the files that was inatalled at your phone (you may use win zip).
now that you identified all the file you may delete everything at you phone manual by finding them one by one (nice to start at windows directory).
I have tried to install the Good Mobile messaging application on the S620 and the installer identifies the phone incorrectly. So the functionality of the Good Mobile messaging is not like it should be. The installer seems to only understand what type of phone it is if it returns the "T-Mobile Dash" words from the ROM. is there a way to modify the ROM Name even temporarily so that the app will install.(crazy idea but thought i would ask)
any help would be greatly appreciated.
There's a text file: \Windows\ModelName.txt, that you can copy out of the handset, edit and drop back in. At the prompt to overwrite, say yes. Should take care of it.
~Cheers~
P.S. Here it is attached.
That's an excellent suggestion... but I how do i get the file deleted? it's read-only and it won't let me change that....
cgg
You just drag it into the window and click ok to overwrite it. It'll do it AND add the appropriate attributes automatically.
~Cheers~
P.S. By window, I mean, open up My Computer, open Mobile Device, and navigate to the Windows folder.
If it doesnt let you overwrite it from your desktop, try doing it on the device with a thirdparty file program, like totalcommander or similar, just put the edited file in the root directory, and copy it and paste it on the device itself.
I had to dl'd the TotalCommander to get the file changed. Thanks for the suggestion!
Still doesn't seem to solve the problem. The information being retrieved from the phone must still be returning something other than T-Mobile Dash
I was able to have it replaced without issue, and straight from the desktop. Weird how you guys had to use an app to do it.
~Cheers~
Did you ever get GOOD to work? I am on WM6 and can't get the OTS installer to work on my device. Do I need to go back to WM5? How do i do that?
i could be wrong but i don't think good officially supports WM6 yet.
Thanks for the tip about the file, now my phone has got it's original name.
Ka.
Yah GOOD does not work on WM6
I had to go back to WM5 for GOOD to work, and now it works great with my companies exchange server. There are some things i don't like, but i can live. Does anyone have any different themes or homepages that are compatible with the GOOD software?
Hey guys. I'm having this issue where, when I try and open a ZIP file on my 8525 w/ AT&T WM6, it says: "The central directory was not found in the archive (or you were trying to open a disk other than the last disk of a multi-disk archive)."
Downloading the file to my PC works just fine, so I've been transfering them either through USB or swapping the memory card in and out for now, but that gets annoying after a while.
It seems to have only started recently...but I fiddle with so many of the little .cab apps on here that I couldn't think of which one may have caused an issue with the ZIP program.
Anybody have any ideas as to how this could have started? Or how to fix it?

i have the same issue.
I have had similar issues, only way to get around it was to use OPERA 8.65 and download the file, once downloaded in opera the .zip file opened fine.
I assume it may be some sort of incompatibility with pocket i.e.
cj
It shouldn't have anything to do with PIE because the file downloads fine. In fact, the same download opens fine on my desktop PC. Its only on my pocket PC that I get the error.
Somehow my ZIP program is not recognizing all the ZIPs in a certain directory. When i ask it to search for all ZIPs, it comes back with a small portion of those on my PDA.
Something is blocking the application from seeing all the ZIPs and opening them.
What program are you using to open them? Try something like Total Commander.
It really doesn't matter what program you use to open them (Total Commander, Windows Explorer, ZIP, etc.). When that program calls up the ZIP application, the error message appears.

Ditto. I tried Total Commander and it's the same story. I recently had to hard reset a couple of times (due to a bit of over zealous registry editing), and even on a fresh reboot of WM6 it still couldn't open but a small percentage of the zips I have on the storage card, so I no longer believe that it was .cab that did it to me. Maybe just an inherent design flaw? I dunno. I've tried the standard ZIP program that comes on the phone, Total Commander, Pocket RAR...nothing seems to work. It really sucks because I browse the site alot while I'm at work, but I have to wait until I get home to try anything new out because I can't open 90% of ZIP files on the phone. It kinda' sucks.
doesn't resco have a zip utility?
sorry i double posted that last entry.
same issue
I have had the same issue with mine. I thought I was going crazy! If I put the zip file on my storage card through my pc then it will work and will open, but if I download it on my 8525, it does not work. I am glad to know I am not going nuts.
Frustrated.
It seems Pocket Rar doesn't work either for many of the zips, and I am using 3.71.
Maybe I need to try a cooked rom.

I am new to phone pda's and this matter has bugged me from the very beginning.
Searching led me here and the post from cejay jogged my memory as familiar and I have definitely confirmed this:
Many files downloaded as .zip will not open either automatically or as standalone zips, using the htc zip app. If the exact same file is downloaded using Opera mini it then can be opened using the htc app.
I had also noticed that zip files that would not open on the pda when transferred to my pc opened perfectly there.
Try pocket Rar, never had any problems with it.
Hi all,
I am trying to uninstall program/apps that came pre-installed on my tilt 2. I just go to file explorer and delete the folders. When i do that, it will say something like "_home is a system file and deleting it may cause some programs to not work"
What does that mean and is it safe to continue to delete it anyway? Also, what is registry keys and stuff like that? If i wanted to delete a program or app, am i doing it correctly by just going into file explorer and deleting the folders? I know there are apps like total commander to delete registry keys but im not too sure how to use total commander and dont know what are registry keys. I am a first time WM user and these beauties are amazing, but it takes a while to learn everything. Thanks for all replies in advance!
Cheers
So I have been installing apps left and right on my tp2 and uninstalling the majority and I think one of them messed up my "File Explorer" application. I have total commander on my phone as well (it came with it on it) and I have tried using it but its too complex for me and I can't figure out how to do some things on it. Should I just try to learn total commander or is there another program my fellow XDAers suggest? Thanks!

...Or you could try to un-mess File Explorer. However, without a clue what exactly is messed up, noone will be able to help you with that.
Learn Total Commander. The only difference you need to worry about between File Explorer and TC is that to enter directories/execute programs you need to double tap, instead the single tap needed in File Explorer. That and to go to the parent directory, press the .. button at the top right of the screen.
Everything else is extra. TC is not hard to use, it just throws a lot of features at you that you do not need to use that often. But of course when you do need one of TC's many features they will be there for you.
And in fact...if you must....you can configure Total Commander to work with single taps like File Explorer. Assuming you have the latest version, goto the Show menu, then About/Settings, then click Single click start checkbox.
Yeah...what did you mess up anyway?
Did you mess up/have too many icons on screen and would like to sort them.in a better way other than windows/start menu/programs...?
anyway...try resco file explorer...or this lil puppy
