HTC HD - Settings freezing my phone :(

---

Hi,
This is my first post here and obviously it's a problem related issue.

I have my HTC TOUCH HD, for about 1 week now.
Everything worked great, until yesterday, when i tried to install the following:
- installed the HTC Hotfix for responsivness, seemed to work fine.
- than i wanted my phoen call to be announced with voice, so i tried to findVoiceCommand (cracked, shame on me)
- downloaded something from this forum, that was posted on rapid share.

Oh Joy and than the problems started:
- It gave an error when installing
- than o n reboot, it toook waaay to long to boot up.
- than i tried to go into the settings to remove it.

Now, EVERYTIME i try to enter the settings, it just freezes, i can not access anyting any more, not even the upper power button, only taking out the battery will work.
Rebooting, i used total commander (thank God i had it installed before) to delete the startup link for voice commander and the entiere voice commander folder.
Now, unfortunate this did not do the trick.

Accessing the settings button will still freeze my HD (

I am very very very frustrated, do not know how to restore it to previous state. Pretty please someone can guide me what to do ?

Thank you in Advance.

ps: everything else seems to work fine, though

Do you think hard reset is the best way??

Yes, unfortunate, this was my only solution.

After digging for more than 4 hours, sleeping 4 hours, digging more hours, i gave up and did a hard reset.
(i even had to digg that up too )

Now everything is back to normal, BUT my weather application is not updating through GPRS / 3G any more, only through wireless.

There is no option for me to set it through what connection it should connect
(Only in coinnection manager, and there its set fine, i already tried everything, and internet seems to work, just fine)

Same thing happend to me. I have now managed to get back into my settings. I think there are two ways.

1. Use active sync to remove the program
2. I installed the 1.5 trail version (which doesn't run) but let me back into settings so I could uninstall MSVC and then uninstall the trail.

start up still seems a bit slow and the first time you press settings it is a little slow going in but after the first time it is fine.

The better option might be a hard reset but it isn't one for me at the moment as I have far to much stuff to re-install and setup. I really want MS voice commander but I am to scared to try and install any versions

sound like the program had a virus maybe

go to startup in windows explorer and remove the shortcut related to it. this will solve the problem.

Damn stop listening to people that quickly tell you to hard reset.

I had a similar problem in which i couldn't access Settings to remove the program that was causing it.

I connected the phone to ActiveSync and you can easily the program from there. Problem solved.

Another way to uninstall would be to launch the CAB file again (the one with the "bad" program). You will asked if you should remove the old version first, say yes, then cancel installation when it asks where to save the new version. Together with a soft-reset thereafter, in most cases it should work out ...
