Games that I can't remove ????

6 replies · 1,662 views · Started 03 May 2007

After upgrading the firmware, I have around 5 games that I can no longer access (under Applications), the thing is I can't remove them either as it advises 'remove failed', any idea how I can get rid of these? I have checked the memory card and phone memory and can't see any mention of them?

Cheers,

I found a lot of my applications went a little screwy after the upgrade. The solution that worked is to reinstall (you will probably get the jigsaw piece icon instead of the proper one) then remove using the Applications program.
Once thats done, restart the phone and then reinstall.

Cheers, the website I bought the games from won't let me reinstall as I have already downloaded them, typical! They just say you should have done a backup first, errr I did.

I'd write a strong letter or make a phone call! If you still have proof of purchase then they should provide you a copy of the games. With software you are paying for a license not the actual game.
In future, though, try to keep all your jar/sisx files somewhere on your computer as you will have to reinstall anytime you do a firmware update

Not everything you see is what it seems to be.
Put the phone into mass storage mode and view it on your pc.
Change the view settings of your windows explorer to 'Show hidden folders and files'..
Anything different..?
