Nokia e71x and Handy Shell

4 replies · 5,574 views · Started 05 January 2010

Probably in the wrong place, forgive me.

I recently installed Handy Shell and it was nothing like I wanted. I want to uninstall it however I have found no way of doing this.

Everytime I boot up my phone or change menus, it prompts me to run Handy Shell.

I hooked my phone to my computer and I went to application manager, but I cannot find Handy Shell anywhere.

Can somebody please tell me how to get rid of it, it is driving me insane.

Sorry , I don't know this (un)Handy Shell , because I don't need it .
In general : Go to the installed third party Icon and use Backspace .
No Icon ? Go in menu to Installations , search for Handy Shell and Backspace as well .

It says "Unable to delete" whenever I tried that. I think this app was made by Epocware.

You could ask Epocware ?
Just found a new free application called :
-- Think Change : Batch Uninstaller
http://thinkchange.cn/products/index/uninstaller
Is also available in Ovi store . Did not try it myself yet .
When you installed the Handy Shell on the phone memory C: , you can also do a hard reset . Have a Backup of all your personal data first .
In case it is installed on MemoryCard E: , reinstall only wanted apps again manually in Applications Manager , after the Hardreset .
For reset , see my post here :
