Hey all,
I just bought the Cingular 8125. I noticed from the start that the "Pictures & Videos" appliction used for previewing and viewing pictures doesn't seem to work right. I can use it to view pictures if I clock on an image file from the explorer, but the preview function doesn't work at all. No thumbnails show up at all. In fact, the place where the thumbnails would be doesn't seem to refresh at all. If I open a menu or window over this area, the area does not re-draw after I close the menu or window.
Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks in advance.
I had exactly the same problem after installing the new menu program posted somewhere on here. I ran the DLL switcher program, and it worked fine after. Search about for it...

Woot! After renaming my atl80.dll and mfc80u.dll. it started to work! Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction!
i have the same problem on my wizard...what should i rename and to what?
Aaaack! Now I've got this problem too. When I click on 'Pictures & Videos' the grid comes up but there are no 'thumbnails', it's all blank.
I don't quite follow the solution info above, I can use 'Total Commander' to find the dll's mentioned in the above post but what do I rename them to?
I've looked everywhere for this 'Dll Switcher' that's also mentioned, no joy.
If anyone has seen this and has fixed it I'd be grateful for the solution, thanks.
Aha! I've sussed it out....
I used a registry editor (like Total Commander) and renamed the files as mentioned above. I don't think it matters what you rename them to as long as it's different. In my case I renamed atl80.dll as atll80.dll and mfc80u.dll as mfcc80u.dll. Both these files were found in the 'Windows' folder.
Once I quit out of Total Commander and opened up 'Pictures & Videos' it started working again. YES!
Thanks to the guys above for the pointers.
thanks for this post.. i thought i was going to have to live with this forever. not anymore thanks to the dll rename. thanks.... thanks.... thanks.... if anybody can help with 1 addl problem i have the same symptoms with my messaging ONLY if i use the hard button at the top of the phone (the one with the envelope picture on it) the window opens but it does not redraw (transparent in the middle) messaging works fine from the other soft shortcuts, etc. any help is appreciated
thanks in advance
atl80.dll is gone
outoftime°!

Had the same problem for weeks until I stumbled upon this topic. Thanks guys, it worked like a charm.
My only question is: will some other application be affected by renaming these DLL's?
sweeeeet. keep this one up top! i was convinced i'd have to use file explorer to send pic files.

before i upgraded my ROM i was able to view thumbnails of pictures in MY PICTURES and videos in MY VIDEOS.
since the ugrade this seems to have been replaced by file names. also the slideshow option doesnt work anymore.
Any ideas???

since the new rom i have installed TomTom, Monopoly and Reg edit. nothing else yet...
i don't remember what post i came acroos this in but iwas buried deep in a looooooong post that had nothing to do with your issue. i was having the same problem and this WORKED!!!!! here is the cut and paste from the post

wow, I can't believe it worked!! i renamed mfc80u.dll as mfcc80u.dll
My picture&video viewer stopped working and it's now fixed. Thank you!!!! :lol:
There are no DLLs like that under my ROM (see below), but "Play slide show" still does not work. Any ideas?
I made a flashy Vista splash screen for the PPC startup. You only see it for a few seconds but I think it's a lot better than the stock one.
I have also included the original in case someone decides to try this and go back, and for comparison purposes.
To install: simply move the file named "welcomehead.96.png" into your Windows directory. You will see the splash when you soft reset!
This splash supports both portrait and landscape views.
This does not work for my Wizard.
I think it has to be 320x240. When I use your picture it shows up like a square..
Strange, it works on mine. The reason that I don't have it set to 240x320 is that (like the stock WM5 splash) the phone should know whether you're using portrait or landscape, and clip the picture accordingly.
It may have something to do with your ROM, I dunno. You can always crop it too.
I see this thread's getting a lot of views. If it doesn't work for anyone else, please let me know and I will look into it.

Works just great on my Apache/Sprint ppc-6700 (aku 2.1)

Worked great, Thanks.
It also alowed me to replace the HTC logo for my own logo by replacing the HTCABOUTLOGO.bmp file in the windows directory
Now if i could only get rid of the i-mate screen, my start up screens would all look great...
and if it that doesn't work
convert the pic into a .png file and
just rename the picture welcomehead.69
copy and paste into your Windows folder on your Wizard

That's pretty sweet, I thought I was being original too.
I like what the artist did, but I prefer not to have things say "Windows Vista," or whatever, unless I'm actually running Windows Vista. I just can't bear to lie to myself like that
edit: and thanks to everyone for their praise! I'm glad it's working out for you.
thanks for the splash screen.
i found i needed total commander to copy it over.

I see the hotvoice.exe in the /Windows directory, but it doesn't seem to run for me... nor does it show up as a valid Button assignment. It worked fine on my 8125... did Cingular not include this in the ROM?
hotvoice.exe was linked as the Record button on the 8125. I can launch Notes and voice record from there, I just wanted a more direct way to get there.
Is there a way for me to copy it from my 8125?
Thanks,
Mike

What ROM are you on? If you do not use PTT, using the leaked Cingular 2.06 ROM then you can do the following. Remap one of your buttons to the app. You must create a shortcut to it first so that it shows up in the app list when you try to remap buttons. If you do not want to change your normal buttons try Sleuth's PPTFix to use the PTT button to launch the app.
I'm still working thru the info here as a newbie to the ROMS...
My Device info says ROM 1.34.502.1, however I'm not sure that corresponds to the general #'s I see flying around (I have read the Wiki, and while there's a lot of good info, its also written with a lot of assumption that you already know a lot of the lingo)....
Anyway, I have tried linking to the app from the Programs folder..and that link does show up in the Buttons list... but I can't get the app to launch, period

OK, you've got the stock ROM, look for and install Sleuth's PTTFix, create a shotcut to Hotvoice.exe on your 8525, and map the PTT button to the hotvoice app. It will only show after creating the shortcut in \Windows.
I've installed the PTTfix and the PTT button works fine. While this gives me extra buttons, this shouldn't be needed, should it? (ie. any reason why I can't assign Record to buttons 1-4?)
But hotvoice.exe will not launch.. I cannot launch it from the file explorer either.
Given that Record does not show up in the default list of buttons (as it does on the 8125), it seems like it doesn't work, at least not in the default ROM??

Yes, you can change them to whatever you wish, I was just providing another suggestion. I prefer to leave my standard buttons as they are.
Ok, so the basic problem is that it appears that hotvoice.exe does not execute on my Hermes (regardless of button assignment)
I guess the question is whether or not it is supposed to run on my stock ROM? and/or if there is a way to add it.
Thanks,
Mike

You need a shortcut that calls MSVOICE ( I found this in one of Sleuth's threads)... See below for link to shortcut... Note: you must copy it to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and map one of your buttons 1-4 to it. I read it will not work on button 5, so if you need to launch an app that you had mapped to its original button, you can remap that to 5 if needed. Note also that you will have a Record icon in programs, it doesnt work if you try to launch it from Programs, only by assigning to a button.

Weird.. I thought I had tried exactly that, about 5 times
But since it ain't broke no more, I'll stop trying to fix it.
Many thanks for your help!!

No problem, I found that the difference is in how the shorcut is made. If you look at the content by opening it with Wordpad on your PC for example... you can see differences in the shortcuts... some ppl where making shortcuts to hotvoice.exe and renaming the shortcut to Record.lnk, some were renaming wrong... but this works for sure.
hotvoice.exe not working
Mike & ercave1, I'm also looking into usign the hotvoice.exe. I have the new ROM, even downloaded the shortcut link and nothing happens. Via Resco Explorer, I first unhide the files to view hotvoice.exe. there I find the hotvoice.exe which is 3K, and hotvoice.lnk (14B) I create a new shortcut from the .exe to the start menu. Nothing happens, I used the shortcut that ercave1 recommended and nothing. Looks like the hotvoice.exe in the Cingular 8525 new ROM and perhaps original ROM does not work or is corrupted. Looking at the attributes, hotvoice.exe shows the following: Read-Only, Hidden, System, ROM. Any help would be greatly aprreciated.

How are you accessing the .lnk? Use the shortcut from the zip file.
You must place it in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs (this makes it visible in the button map app)
Then remap one of your buttons 1-4 to Record. Soft Reset.
I applied this today on my 8525 without a problem.
Yes, i unzipped the link from the file i downloaded, then i transferred it to the start menu. No luck on that. I also have a program called SKTools and there is an option to configure the 5 buttons of the 8525. It allows me to browse by file or by Alias. I noticed one of the ALIAS is :MSHOTVOICE. I tried that ALIAS along with another called :MSVOICE to no avail (I did a reset BTW). Do you have the new ROM or the original cause im not getting this hotvoice to work at all.

Don't understand what is happening I will try and create a cab to install this... I'm on the 2.06 PTT enabled ROM, but that should not matter...
Record cab
For those having problems creating the shortcut try this...
Install the CAB, then navigate to Start>Settings>Buttons then select one of the four buttons to modify and set it to Record, tap OK and test the button.
Let me know how it goes.
That fixed it for me.
Thanks.

Glad it worked for you, unfortunately it's not working for me. There must be a thrid party application or setting that must of corrupted the hotvoice.exe. Next time I do a hard reset, I'll give it a try. Thanks again ercave1 for your help.
Hi guys, I am new to this forum but have read and benefitted from some of your posts.
Zim,
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but the Notes app is setup to do voice records on the 8525. I will grant you this... there are absolutely NO instructions about it in the manual so I had a hell of a time finding it, but through looking around I finally discovered this.
Just open Notes and then click Menu>Show Recording Toolbar. Now you can record voice records all you want and it puts them in your notes folder for review.
Then, of course, you can map any of your buttons 1-4 to the Notes app and, since you selected to show the recording toolbar, all you do is press the mapped button and then "New" and speak.
Hope this helps (someone).

cool thanks, this seemed to help.
it is odd for me the record short cut will not work directly but if map the button to it, it will work and as long as you hold the button in. it keeps recording till you are out of time.
as jwpetree said the the other way to use the recorder is to open notes 1st.
now to find a tweak to give more recording time.

try using total commander or resco explorer to see hidden files/rom files.
still no luck. I downloaded resco explorer(which is awesome!) but I still cant find it. any more ideas from all you gurus out there?? It is an alltel touch not a sprint vogue if that makes any difference. thx guys!

Make sure you have Resco set to show all files. welcomehead.96.png is the file your looking for, on all devices I believe.
If you still can't find it, use a photo viewer, like S2V, and load the windows directory. Then you can browse through and find it visually.
you guys were right it was hidden. I just didnt see the option to show hidden files. but now it says this is a ROM file and cant be changed or deleted. is there anything I can do?
drop the new file (of the same name) in the windows dir. when it asks to overwrite, hit yes. that should work with resco. another [more complicated and dangerous] way is to unlock the extended rom.
hey it finally worked! Thanks for all the help guys. It looks great!
What did you replace it with? post the picture i want to see it, haha
sorry Ref cant get the screenshot to post from my phone, ill try to after while from my home computer. but if you wanna see it go search for [email protected]$, hes got all kindsa cool skins and images posted. He does really good work

this is because you have installed somthing that dumped allot of and or modified allot of the files in the windows directory...
I don't know what is the problem. I'm removing the device from the usb port without setting it for safty remove from windows options.When i'm ready i unplug the usb cable directly. Is it possibe to harm the device in any way? Are you doing the same fazi78?
I had the same problem with 1.48 rom. I upgraded to 1.72 and the problem was solved.
Yeah .. it's just windows after all. There is just a lot of files there. Some software can make it even worse.
But there is also problem with sorting. Sorting by name is fine. Sorting by type is so slow, it did not finish in 20 minutes on my phone (had to reset and modify registers, because it remembers both folder and sorting method).
Thanks man, it was from the sorting! Mine was type sorting, switched it to name and problem is gone! Thank you!

open up file manager (default file manager) see the top right? where it says name with a little arrow? click that.
If something seems too good to be true, chances are it is.
That setting would really only be likely to affect the speed at which File Explorer searches for things (and maybe PIE if opening a directory with it). But at any rate I've never changed that setting on any of my PDAs or Phones and have seen the slowness of opening the Windows directory with many different apps, including FE and PIE, Resco, NetFront, PocketBreeze, etc. But it was worth a try. Thanks for the quick reply, I just wish it had been the magic answer.
