Autostarting Apps, A925

if you want to autostart a program when the phone starts, do NOT select autostart in the programs settings !

it�s the "usual" problem with any app that doesn�t start OK, and therefore stops the phone from booting.

DO *NOT* USE AUTOSTART, IF YOU HAVE A PROGRAM ON C: !

however, if you want to autostart a program, if you have nopEx and SMan there is a safer way to do it:

1. in SMan, change the hardware-profile to autostart in D:
2. select autostart "others"
3. under "others", select the program to autostart, with enough delay, (50-60s?), so your phone can boot BEFORE the program starts
4. copy C:/system/recogs/SManRecog.mdl to X:/system/recogs/SManRecog.mdl

then if you have a problem, remove your memorycard and start your phone without any "autostarting" programs.
