Hi guys,
Everytime i start up my phone i get a services.exe error report. I googled the problem and found that on a pc this is normally a malware virus!
Will this be the case for my phone? Do i have a virus?
If so how do i get rid of it, please help!

No i dont have g-profile installed, why would this cause the problem or is it a possible fix?
Some members in a french forum have the same bug, it appear it's hd2tweaks who is in cause ...
Not sure at this moment
only as a few people were saying that they had this problem after installing g-profile..
Hi!
I have just gotten this problem and are wondering if this applies to the metal detector as well? I don't use g-profile so...
Will try to uninstall the metal detector now and see if the problem goes away...
I too have this problem - had it for a few weeks now but not a major issue as I don't often reboot phone, but frustrating when I do.
I had the metal detector app and BsB Tweaks installed before this started to happen, so don;t think it could be them. I did install G-alarm from ageye a while back, but I have no deleted this too as it expired - maybe this could have caused it?
any help appreciated
...also, I always send the error reports too, but they don't seem to do anything - never get a reply back or even an acknowledgement they have been received.
I have g-profile installed and get this every time i reboot the phone. Why does it appear when g-profile is installed and what does it mean/do??
Hopefully, the moderator will move this to the appropriate section, perhaps HD2 General, but I wanted to offer my input in the meantime.
@bluearmyb, which device do you have? T-Mobile US, or one of the European versions? I have the T-Mobile US HD2, and I started to get this same error soon after I started using it. I looked at the detail, and it looked like coredll.dll was the culprit. I tried removing apps and nothing seemed to fix it. I was using the stock T-Mobile US ROM.
I tried to find a pattern and the only one I found was that it would start occurring after I installed a large number of apps, in any order. I tried installing mods, then games, then other apps, and every variation thereof. I would hard reset, start installing, and rebooting after EVERY installation. It occurred for different apps at different times, but always after I installed a lot of them.
I have since installed HSPL2-1024, and have installed several ROMS. I'm currently using Miri's Elegancia colored by Steve0007. It has been flawless thus far, and I have installed all my apps. I have not received the error even once, so I'm not sure it's related to any particular app.
By the way, I think, THINK, that coredll.dll is part of the .NET Compact Framework.
I would like to know if there has been anyone, receiving this error on reboots, who is using a cooked ROM.
Not much help but maybe it can assist in identifying a pattern.
Cheers.

I thought I would add what happened to me today:
I have been getting the "services.exe/coredll.dll" error message on boot-up after installing about 15 or more games simultaneously (without soft resetting each time). This error occurred right after I finally did a soft reset... and had been happening for the past 3 or 4 days.
As I installed more and more stuff to my memory card (16 Gig - Class 2 from my T-Mobile package - USA), I noticed that my HD2's screen response was pausing very slightly. Since I have an 8 Gig micro-SD Class 4 in my now retired HTC Kaiser, I decided to transfer all my stuff from the 16 Gig to 8 Gig (minus the Transformer movies). After the transfer, I still had 4 Gigs free, with a TomTom 2 Gig map installed).
Well guess what? not only is screen response as fast as it was out-of-the-box, BUT THERE IS NO LONGER THAT ANNOYING ERROR MESSAGE UPON BOOT UP.
I am now wondering if the error message I was getting might have been due to the HD2 not being able to read a needed file or files during boot-up and gave that error, due to the slower class 2 speed, or maybe due to files becoming fragmented on said SD card?... I'm not sure what it was, but it solved my problem.
If any of you still have this problem, it might be worth a try.
I am going to order a 16 Gig class 6 in the next 2 weeks, after giving this 8 Gig'er a good whirl.... I'll check back in, if this error rears its ugly head again.
By the way, I have a stock ROM, straight from T-Mobile USA.

Your post saved me a hard reset. Thank you very much!
I installed Chainfire-HD2-3D-Driver-Patch-2.0.cab, resetted, Chainfire-TG01-D3DM.cab resetted. Everything looked ok. Proceeded and installed BsB Tweaks v1.6 and since it did not asked for reset (big mistake for being lazy, should have known better to be safe), I installed HD2Tweak v1.2.0 then resetted and started having the coredll.dll/services error. At first I thought it may be due to CHT which I initially had problem days before with Sense failing to load after failing to cleanly uninstall v1.7.0. but solved it by installing v1.7.1. So I reinstalled v1.7.1. Didn't help. Then I found your post and uninstalled HD2Tweak. Problem gone. I figured perhaps I should try again. This time no error after reset. But when I did a shutdown, my HD2 couldn't power up, even the red button reset failed. Fortunately, pulling out the battery did the trick. Now monitoring for futher issues.
I started getting this yesterday, i just installed some games. After uninstalling them, i still get this error
Any help?
I got this error when I installed the 3d - driver patch for the leo. I am using a t mobile us phone with the stock rom on it. I just installed the driver and the error went away
Same with me - it seems to be the TG1 3d Patch from Chainfire - as soon as I uninstalled it the problem was gone. So far...
after reading your posts ,i want to share my experience with services.exe ,from what i have seen sometimes when i install apps that are for hd2 i get the services.exe report,but if i uninstall whatever installed before the repot than the
report is gone,i think services.exe is just an incompatibility report
I had the services.exe error too when restarting my device. Since I saw metal detector mentioned here I uninstalled it and the problem seems to be solved now.

Hello everybody,
this is my first post ever. I've been following XDA developers for many years when I was still using Windows Mobile PDA's and later smartphones. This Forum has helped me with so much.
But now Im facing a problem which I cant find a solution for. Maybe this has been solved in another thread already, then I'm sorry that I must have overlooked it.
I purchased and Xperia X10i about two weeks ago. Everything worked fine out of the box.
Then I updated the software via the PC connection to 2.1
Before I of course backedup everything.
After the update I restored my backup and everything seemed to work proper.
Yesterday when I tried to access the Market place the screen popped up and it showed me the loading message but it simply didn't load. The screen flashed a few times then the app was forced shut.
I searched on several forums and followed the instructions posted by people with similar problems.
1. It was suggested that I perform a Hardreset. This didnt work through the method by pressing the left and right key simultaniously and the pressing and releasing the power button. For whatever reason my phone just boots normally
2. Factory reset through the menu: Settings > SD card & Phone storage: This option is not even present after the software update
3. Deinstalling Market update: I deinstalled the updates for the market application but that didnt change anything
4. Using the update function of the PC software to repair the update:
I performed another update through the repair function this seemed to make matters worse. Now when I go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications I cant even see the other installed application except one UEFA something.
Funny enough everything else on the phones seems to work well.
Details about the network.
I live in Kenya and use Safaricom as my carrier. There were no issues before I updated
I work in South Sudan and use Vivacell. I dont use Vivacell for data but rather use my wireless connection. Up until the update and even shortly afterwards that worked just fine.
Im really confused. Don't know what else to try.
Should I root the device and install Froyo rather?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions, and again if this has been solved elsewhere then I'm really sorry for overlooking it. Please post a link if so.
Update for point 4.
Point 4. was simply my own stupidity. I had a filter set wrong. never the less the market problem remains
using the application from AppPit instead at the moment. This one works fine and donwloads and installs have no issues.
Would love to use the marked though because bit has way more apps which I need. AppPit is a bit limited

For me, just some of my apps show up under "My Apps". Most don't, and it changes at times. Like in the morning I may see 11 and in the night I may see 24 (although there are way more than that downloaded and installed).
Even after 2 days I only see my paid apps and I have close to 140 on my phone and at least 5 of them I installed after the market update and they aren't showing either.
Edit
When I search and find any of the apps that I have installed they show as being installed on the market link but just not showing up under my apps

So basically stick with the black market until the bugs are squashed?

For those of you experiencing bugs, check to see which version of the Market you have. The first leaked version was 3.0.26 but there is a slightly newer version 3.0.27 available here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7620746/com.android.vending-27.apk
I don't know if they fixed anything significant between these versions but it's worth trying it.

Thanks for the post just checked and I have 3.0.27 installed already so for me something else is wrong.
Sent from my CM7 HTC Aria
Market 3.0.27 is absolutely horrid. I switched back to the previous version but today I was forced to update. No way to revert.
1) It's ugly.
2) Reviews of apps are displaying out of order. We have reviews from 2010 being displayed at the top of the list, and recent reviews of the latest version nowhere to be found. There is no way to see how people are responding to a newly released version; meanwhile at the top of the list we have these outdated reviews complaining about issues that were already resolved.
3) Whenever updates for apps are released, the update notification displays, but there is no way of actually downloading the new version. Only "Open" and "Uninstall" are shown; it usually isn't until several hours later when we are actually given the option to download the new app.

That's the version I have and it still has the problem of not showing all of "My Apps". The only thing it fixed was the displaying of unsupported apps (e.g Flash Player 10.3, etc...).

I have no idea what could be causing this. I've never heard of anything like it, and I have yet to find any posts or anything on Google pertaining to it. The problem is simple. I install an app or game. Play or use it. Go do something else for 20 minutes to an hour come back expecting to use said app, and its gone. Its not in the launcher or manage apps, and play store acts as if it wasn't yet installed. I can go to market again to install it but that's just bothersome. I'm on an 8gb nook tab running an emmc install of cm10, looks like its the 2012-9-3 acclaim build according to about tab. Other than that I'm not sure which ROM exactly.
Any thoughts would be awesome.

I only downloaded this ROM about four days ago. That combined with the fact that that was my second post on xda, it wouldn't be far fetched to assume I didn't know there was an updated version. May I ask what your recommendation of most stable cm10 ROM would be?

Is there a "place holder" icon in place of the disappeared app? (home screen and app drawer, either or both) Would appear as a generic android icon.
Also, what apps are disappearing specifically?

When Ext-Sd card auto unmounts (known bug) everything installed on it (because ext-sdcard are default one /sdcard1) is then shown as a green android without their normal icon.
I've been having this issue as well with Business Calendar Pro. It isn't installed to the SDCARD. I haven't had the problem with the latest version of the ROM though.

I can't compare it to stock or CM7, though -- I haven't run either stock or CM7 since April or so. It does seem to suck the battery down much faster than Chris' CM10, though. To deal with that, I've been doing a full power-off (long press and select "Power Off") instead of a soft power-off when I know I won't be using the tablet for a while.

Almost any app. Here's an updated play by play.
Install app. App can be used.
After a while it disappears.
Can reinstall and use again.
Usually disappears again.
If tab is rebooted apps reappear. Icon and all.
If you attempt to open they force close. I don't remember the error message.
This mostly happens on large apps or games.
I'm gonna attempt to update my ROM and see if it still has the same problems.
Updated to the latest cherry picks ROM. I wiped and cleared everything. Same problem. Same symptoms. Any thoughts on causes and possible solutions? Or is this just a bug with the ROM?

I've experienced a similar issue, and it appears to be the result of the SD card getting (forcibly?) unmounted while sleeping. I have no idea how to prevent it other than moving all apps to internal storage if possible. Maybe ensuring that any apps the rely on storing data on the SD card are terminated before sleeping?
FWIW, I've had the same thing happen in the past with the stock BN ROM so it wasn't a huge surprise to me when it happened running CM10.

Okay, so the exact same thing happened that the OP described to me this morning on 27/09. I had moved several apps to the SD card and then when I came back to my Nook about a half-hour later, all those apps showed as Android icons and could not be launched. Rebooting made it possible to launch the apps again and brought back the normal icons.
Update: Perhaps it's coincidence but it seems that whenever I manually disable WiFi before sleeping my Nook (running 27/09 here), then everything is fine. However, if I forget to disable WiFi, then for some reason the SD has a chance to be unmounted while sleeping which requires me to re-install any apps that are installed on the SD card or that depend on the SD card for normal use.
I'm also thinking that maybe it doesn't have anything at all to do with WiFi being enabled, but instead perhaps it's just having apps running that depend on the SD when the unit sleeps (such as XDA premium which I've had to re-install several times over the last couple of days ) .
In all, it seems like a really vague and random issue that occurs and reiterating my previous posts, I've seen the SD card get unmounted using the original ROM so I'm just not sure what the deal is here.
I have a problem,with my tablet. I found that 3 of my favour apps has disappeared from my apps list and tablet . I don,'t uninstalled it. What can I do to recover an install it again.

I did the whole manual update to Lollipop, unfortunately, my phone keeps searching for GPS when I use apps that need it.
The problem is I like to use a boating app, and I go far enough offshore that I do not get data. Btw, I get this issue with any app that needs GPS, including Pokemon Go!
After searching online, it appears to be a bug in Lollipop itself.
Either downgrade, of go to Marshmallow if I can find a decent daily driver.
Anyone else have similar issue?

More details of my experience in that thread. Wife just pre-ordered an iPhone 7, probably out of pity, for me. One day I showed her my Google Maps and set it to drive home. No sound, no directions, but it quickly discerned origin and route home, when we got home it said "you have arrived," but the map, even though the pointer updated position throughout the drive, still showed the route line from the origin!

I've never had this issue on any ROM
Found a workaround
I was experiencing exactly the same issue! Not only that but it seems like this issue has popped up on reddit and latest amazon reviews too. Seems to have started occurring after July of this year for many people. I haven't determined the root cause, but it seems like it's affecting too many people to be a hardware issue. Some things I tried that DIDN'T work:
* Flashed latest Cyanogen snapshot, although I like it a lot more than stock
* Tweaked the /system/etc/gps.conf file for my region
Finally I found that my phone time significantly drifted off atomic time, noticed it could be a whole second off. After reading online about GPS technology, it seems having an accurate client atomic time should improve GPS performance. I used an app called ClockSync (with root is easier) to make sure my time was accurate and turned off syncing time with cell tower. It worked!! Using a GPS testing app (GPS Status & Toolbox) I can lock on to my position reliably in < 10 seconds. This is still running on Cyanogen.
I'm in love with this phone, so happy I don't have to buy a new one.

I tried to install CM13. I failed miserably. Then I started by playing the Pokémon Go game and observing the erratic character movement. Then played with the GPS settings. Turning off High Accuracy and leaving on Device Only still is working, except inside structures that block GPS signal. Tried High Accuracy while visiting San Francisco this last weekend and started having issues there, so back to Device Only for me.
Thank you for sharing what has worked for you!!!!

I found the latest Cyanogen snapshot I tried (cm-13.0-20160823-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0M5-mt2) too unstable. I started to experience random reboots every day, even while using Google maps turn-by-turn navigation. Restored back to official lollipop build (MT2-L03C00B322) from my backup (that was factory restored before backing up). Now it's suddenly working without any workarounds! I have no idea why it's working now. If you are considering dumping your phone for a new one, you could try a factory reset first to make sure it's not a hardware issue. :/

It was definitely not straightforward, I ran into several issues. First, TWRP recovery was complaining about invalid file system format so I switched to Cyanogen recovery to flash system. Second, I was getting constant Google services has crashed messages. Found out I needed to install it right after, before rebooting first. Third, I was stuck in boot-loop during Cyanogen startup. A hard reset finally fixed it.

As of yesterday I am back to High Accuracy, and just as you note everything seems fine, particularly with regards to GPS.
I guess if I want to have Android 7, I'll save up for a phone that comes with it, unless I learn how to manually do it myself. (I was once a CECS major, about 16 years ago...)
Thank you again for sharing your experience! I hope we can all go back to enjoying our exceptionally large screens....
