Juicecaster problem

[jkoppee]

Hey guys sorry if its posted but on my phone using edge so too hard to search.

The other day i downloaded juicecaster from downloads on the phone to check it out. Ran the program and it mentioned purchasing options so i uninstalled it and now every time i take a picture it asks me if i want to upload to juicecaster. This is highly annoying and crappy programming in my mind. This has caused me to miss several good pics over the weekend and even ruined my attempt at time lapse of the sunrise, needless to say i wasnt happy.

Anyone know how to get rid of this? Its driving me insane. I might reinstall to check the settings but im at the airport and dont have a lot fo free time.

Update: went back in to try to reinstall and i get "item open failed" so i cant even reinstall to try and undo the annoyhing unneccessary question EVERYTIME I TAKE A PICTURE. Oh and i cant even take another pic until i answer no to the question. REALLY BAD PROGRAMMING IMO

This may be a silly question, but did you reboot after UNinstalling the app?
Also, did you delete it from your app manager as well?

[jkoppee]

Yep rebooted several times and after uninstall its not in app manager any more which is really bothering me

[mcbain]

Did you initially install it to your mem card?
Hate to say it JK but you could be looking at a format, either card or phone.
I cant think of what else will help, just yet.

Yeah it was installed to mem card. Im going to have some choice words and bad reviews everywhere possible if i have to do a format. It would take me hours to redo everything. I put an email into them via theyre website so we'll see.

If you have Y-Browser on your N95, maybe navigate to any related file thats still present, and remove it?

i had this problem too, here is how i solved it:
[DISCLAIMER: part of this involves running an app which S60 system protections - i think it does so temporarily (until reboot) but YOU SHOULD READ THE DIRECTIONS BEFORE USING THEM and be sure that you're comfortable with the fact that I DON'T KNOW ALL THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES of these actions. that said, i did this 10 minutes ago and it worked for me without a hitch]

1. using PowerBoot, i witnessed a RUNNING app that looked suspicious: C:/sys/bin/juicecasterlistener.exe (name was a lot like this, started with 'juice', sorry i can't be sure i've remembered the name right)

2. since i saw that the app was running, and had the path and name, i deleted the file. it's not straight-forward though, the location where the file is stored... it's a protected location.

3. to allow access to C:/sys/bin, i used HelloCarbide (search for 'hacking S60' and you'll find lots of links to this app). running HelloCarbide, i used the same steps as the S60 hacking people suggest: Launch HelloCarbide -> Options -> Menu1 ; here i got a LONG set of yes/no prompts. i answered YES to the first, NO to the rest. i don't know if anything but the first prompt matters, or if answering YES to any of the 2nd+ prompts would be bad...

4. answering YES to the first prompt fomr HelloCarbide's Menu1 option 'unprotects' C:/sys/bin (i dont know what else it does, but a reboot afterwards seems to reset the protection to that folder so i assume it also undoes any other maleffects).

5. at this point i used X-plorer (Y-Browser should work too) to browse to C:/sys/bin and remove the file (note: it was the ONLY file that started with 'juice...' in this location).

6. After this, i rebooted, took a picture, and was happy to see that i wasn't asked to upload to a stupid service (which is bested by its free alternatives anyhow, like Kyte, OVI, LocR, etc).

happy hunting!

ok so I did as bitflung suggested except I had to modify the steps a little.
To start the name of the file you want to remove is juiceobserver.exe in c:\sys\bin

I installed hellocarbide to the phone and ran it exactly as suggested, options-> menu1-> yes to first then no to the next 80 or so questions. At this point Hellocarbide automatically closes and you can not open any other programs so open y-browser or whichever before opening hellocarbide. Since y-browser never seems to stay open long enough on my phone I then had to hook it to the computer in data transfer mode and locate the file that way. Then reboot the phone and all is well.

I think what the problem is that you have juicecaster set as your default camera mode. Are you turning on the camera by sliding the lens cover open? Go into your setting and set the normal digital camera icon to be your default. The app will probably still sit on your system till you delete it properly, but you won't miss any more pics
