Hi guys I have Htc Desire and it is acting wierd since My brother pulled battery out while it was sending 2 email.
Since then I gett all errors like android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly and lots of other like google services stop.
I need my contacts but as I enter contacts It gives me that acore error and returns me to homescreen...I dont care for data just contacts..
Also phone wont search for wifi and it turns by it self bluetooth and it wont go to airplane mode..
Help please..It did not sync all contacts to google and I have like 1500 of them inphone and on google just 35.
Try downloading a contacts app from playstore and if it manages to run ok you could back them up to SD card then do factory reset.

Press phone/people/menu/manage contacts/export to sdcard (mite not be exact, depending on rom)
That will copy all contacts to a file on ur sdcard (v card r something then save the file to pc, just incase for future) then u can factory reset ur phone.

Cant go into people cause it gives instant error that throws me out in homescreen.
I can be swift and press all that in 2 secs but then I end up with vcf file with nothing in it or few contacts,,

Yes I did..no luck
Maybe you could try safe mod.
Only other way i can think is possibly pushing a different contacts.apk via adb commands
Try here to set up adb and fastboot, follow the guide to learn how to push an apk to /system/app, or may even work pushing it to /data/app
Try several, I previously used go contacts but there are plenty on the play store which you could download
Hope that works, though I've never tried this myself don't think you've got anything to lose.

Hello all, I have an Dash with a broken screen so I can't see anything. Is there a way I can do a hard reset via computer or maybe some sequence of keys on the handset. I really need to get my contacts & data off of the phone before I return it. Thanks in advance for any help

This is how to Hard-Reset on phone http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3115/2541775762_85aa3db274_o.jpg
You could check this worked by conecting via async and checking folders, you will tell because all will be removed, old programs etc.
Thanks that's good info. But the only thing is I can't see the screen to follow the on screen prompts. The screen shows nothing but what looks to be black & white ink

Follow it to a t and even without the screen you should be able to do it?
I am guessin you can still hook up to computer?
Could do with some help here from other users, could lil just delete the .pim via async and it would delete contacts?
Where are messages stored? So they can be deleted....
Re Deleting all info
Hook up via async and delete these cemail.vol will delete the the mms and sms
Contacts, Calendar are all stored in a database file called PIM.VOL that in the root directory.

Ok now where would I find these files once I hook up to pc via async?
well its not going to work..here is the issues. the CEMAIL.vol file is in use basically whenever the phone is on. so you cant just copy or delete it or you get an error and it fails. i have been looking around a bit and havent found an excalibur specific solution this this. give me a few minutes to play around
and you will see the files in the root directory..root directory is where you will see program files, storage card, windows etc.. when you connect via activesync and browse to it with explorer..scroll down and you will see the files.
make sure you have your pc set to show hidden and system files your you wont see some things..
Ok I'll wait on the response & b sure to have pc show hidden files. I also want to thank U guys 4 ur help thus far

You know how the phone async explorer integrates with explorer on comp does this not mean you could use an unlocker and unlock the file in question then delete? Long shot.
I have an unlocker to which i could attach if any use?

its a sharing violation because that files is in use.
here is the problem. if we can go into the registry and change the path for the mms/sms and reboot...it will create a blank .vol file in the new path that was created in the registry ...therefore freeing the one that we need to delete.
or so thats my theory...let me install pim back up and back my stuff up...i have some texts i need so i cant just go deleting just yet.
yes i have yahoo IM ([email protected])
What IM do U have?
Thanks guys 4 all of your help. I finally got it to reset holding the 2 soft keys & the send key. Thanx again

Cool glad you got it sorted, knew you would be able to reset blind
Was there any fix for the cemail, though? I saved my cemail.vol before a hard reset, and would like to restore it now, but i always get a sharing violation error.

Remove "messaging" from the Today screen so that the file is not in use, and restart. It should now be deletable.
Hi, Hope you can help, I upgraded the ROM on my dash and it kept freezing and would not connect to active sync. I reset it as it said here but it is still the same it appearts to be frozen and none of the keys work, not even the power button.
Any ideas please?

you have to download it via computer, you cant just download it on the phone, once you down load it on the computer, drop the file into your SD card. then use a file manager to view the SD card and install the app from there.
ive downloaded via dropbox and transfered through usb to my device and it always gives
'Application not installed'
Worked great here on my G2. Thanks

do you have a file manager like astro?
if so, all you have to do is go to astro and open the file on the SD card and it will ask u if you want to install it...
other wise try to down load it directly from a computer save the file copy it into the SD card and then try astro... maybe the drop box is whats causing your error message...

Hi,
I got myself a HTC Wildfire S. Now, I'm trying to install the Music Lover skin
I got the notification of the skin downloading and waited until it's done. After that HTC Hub still shows that the skin is downloading and it just sits there. If I try to open the completed skin download from notifications bar, it opens up the skin browser but it doesn't load the Music lover skin.
Any ideas what's wrong?
If u guys have all or any of the .apk files of official skins in htc hub can any of u post it here....it will be very helpful...
Thanks..!!
PS : Anyone having problems while accessing HTCSense web page PC ?? It is only showing dashboard...no apps download or contacts or message sync etc....also sometimes it is not even opening the web page and says my User Id or password is incorrect...which is in fact correct...I'm thinking its a Server problem of HTC but if its not PLZ tell me..
music lover skin is corrupt I wonder why they don't fix it.

if you have deleted all your sd card's data, you will have to manually create ".data" directory in order to be able to download or install htc skins

Hi guys..dhd users..i need some help here..
Dhd details:
Stock room still virgin..never rooted..currently on latest sense 3.0 android version 2.3.5..sofare number 3.13.707.4
in past week until now, i hava faced problem in dhd gallery..the problem listed as below:

b) when i open any pictures via gallery..normal thing is once i tap it will show 5 icon below of the pictures..such as share..delete and etc..but mine..when i tap..the icon only pop up and then goes missing again..so it hard for me to use the sharing function..
because of the problem i need to use third party app to view my pic gallery..but what i used now lack of sharing function to social network...
What i had tried but failed.. :
a) soft reset : pull out battery, sim, sd card..
b) uninstall some apps that related to gallery such as gallery lock pro..but the problem still persist..
c) scan and find sd card using market apps..
d) scan my phone using lookout mobile security..but found nothing affected..

Maybe your SD card is messed up. That leads to problems with gallery and music apps sometimes. Connect your phone to your computer in disk drive mode, copy everything on the SD card to your computer, format your SD card to fat32 with 32KB cluster (if you use Windows, uncheck quick format and let it do the slow full format) , then copy everything back from your computer to the SD card. Delete the .thumbnails folder in DCIM.
Clear data of gallery again and see if the problem still happens.

I'm not this is achievable on a stock ROM, but maybe you can download the apk from your computer, use the usb cable to copy the apk onto your phone and run the apk from your phone. That should install the application, and allow you to backup your messages.

If you have a stock ROM, there MUST be at least one application that allows browsing of your SD Card. You're sure you're not running some carrier-brewed OS right?
