I have a problem where I have a folder on my storage card set as favourite on the photo tab in TF3D so I can see the pictures on the tab. When I create an activesync connection on disk mode and then disconnect the tab loses the favourite folder and so I have to re assign it through the album>select folders. If anyone knows of a fix for this I would be most grateful if they could share
same thing happens here, i'm thinking maybe changing the default location in adv cfg would impact the tf3d setting... gotta try that

Tried all of that, makes no difference. Must say I'm surprised this doesn't annoy the hell out of others.
You have to edit following registry key without running TF3D:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\favorite_folder
For Standard Folder of the X1´s Camera it is:
\Speicherkarte\DCIM\100XPRIA
Just found this out today
Nice find. Changed mine to \Storage Card\DCIM\100XPRIA and it works great.

thanks i tried the change but the key simply reverts back to a value of [CAMERA] once you connect to a PC in disk mode. So i'm afraid it does not solve the problem
that´s right it doesn´t solve the problem
sorry but i guessed i found the solution.
i had to reset my device for an installation - and now it is the same as before [camera]
maybe it is an issue of the manilla-version.
the one i had before has not loose the own images...
well, i´ll try it with another manilla/tf3d-version now
Hi everybody,
i did a try with the TF3DHDB2.cab - and it works for a few seconds...

To test the functionality i have often changed pannel, and did 5 resets of my X1.
This will be therefore only a solution if you use the TF3D above.
But if you will connect in usb-mode to the pc or any other device it will reset...
And you will have set to Active Sync Mode again before edit the registry..
... to be continued ...
I have found a bit of a work around to this. GO into album and Set 'all' as favourite. Any photos that you do not want to appear in the tab mark each file as 'hidden' using resco explorer. This way you will get to see the pictures you want showing on the tab. It sticks even after you connect and disconnect in disk mode

Hi guys,
I've been playing with PIToday for a couple of days now but I noticed one thing: My bluetooth icon on the Today screen disappeard after using PIToday. The only way to get it back for me is unchecking PIToday and soft reset. This is a bummer!
I've been checking some sites for solutions but could only find the solution mentioned above and one solutions for a 3870. This was putting a shortcut to the bluetooth icon in the startup folder. In the case of a MDA II, there is no such shortcut possible. I checked the registry and Windows directory but the is no .exe file which will start the bluetooth icon. Only .dll. But I don't know where to point it to. :?:
Any other suggestions? Because I would like to buy PIToday but I still want to access my bluetooth from the Today screen.

Even though I am a huge fan of Pocket Informant, i experienced a lot of issues with the PI today plug in and stopped using it. It may be incompatability with other software I also have installed but as well as the missing BT icon it also caused instability (lock ups) and the occassional auto soft reset.
In regard to the missing BT icon though PI today is not the only culprit. Users of Pocket Breeze from SBSH Mobile software have reported the same issue. Only way to restore it is unselect the today plug in and soft reset.

Hi Ednap,
Somebody suggested a sort of sulution for me: Using Zenphone. In Zenphone there is an option to turn bluetooth on and off in a profile. And it seems to work!
It is not the solutions but a least it is workable.

hi,
some kind of solution
get the tool "No Plugins today" (h**p://www.ictinus.com/NoPluginsToday/)
install it (of coz)
insert into your registry a new string like this
HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\init\LaunchXX where XX is the highest number of the Launch under INIT (I use "Launch90")
enter as the stringvalue the path to the tool e.g. "\Storage\NoToday\NoPluginsToday.exe" or whereever you have installed the tool
insert a link under \Windows\startup or \windows\autostart (depends of the language) and point it again to this tool. Rename the Link in such way, that it will run last (eg. "XXXNoToday")
ok, thats all, reset your device, and enjoy your Bluetooth icon
It is not a failure by any of the Today-Plugins, which make the icon vanish, it's just a timeout of the btdll, caused by Plugins, which need too much time to initialize itself, so the icon just nor appear.
What does this thing?
after reset it removes the todayscreens, the bluetooth icon appears, and after that the notoday-tool switches the plugins on again.
you need some more time (3-4 secs) after the reset, but, who cares, you got the icon back

Nice work, IvkovicD!
I'll give it a try and I'll post this solution also at the PIToday forum. I'm sure this solutions is a great help for Deje the maker of the program.
B.t.w I tried SnoopSoft Dash Today Advanced today to see if I like it. It is not bad. A bit slow but guess what happens?
My headset profile is now gone! First I thought it was because I had too many Todayplugins but after removing a few and soft resetting it still wouldn't come back. Any suggestions for this one?
Thanks,
Wouter
To create a shortcut to Bluetooth copy the following into a shortcut file (text file with lnk extension i.e. Bluetooth.lnk):
34#\windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,23
and copy it across to your PPC
My headset profile is now gone!

Might it be that your profile is just gone from the Today screen? Check Settings>Personal Tab>Today>Items Tab and see if Profile is checked.
Hi Mark,
No. The headset profile was not there anymore in the list. I contacted Chris Scott, who makes DashToday and the only solution he had for now, was to uninstall the program.
Not realy a good option in my opinion.... Especialy because I just bought the program because there is no trial avaliable.
For your other solution:
I want to make sure that I realy understand. You want me to make a textfile and name it i.e Bluetooth.lnk. In this file there should be the line:
34#\windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,23
Then copy this file to my PPC and presumably to the startup directory?
Just want to make sure.
Thanks,
Wouter

Copy it to the Start Menu folder. It won't bring back your bluetooth icon back but you will be able to access the settings from the start menu.
Thanks,
I give it a try later.

Hi,
I know this effect. I've have this "vanishing", too, if I install too much today- plug ins. Just grab your favourite registryeditor and delete some build-in today-registry entries for today items, e.g. original-task, or some of the other build in ones. If you need it (I don't believe that , make a backup, but really, do you need them?)
reset your device, the missing plugs should appear again...
Sometimes, the OS just do not display some today-plugins, if there are too much entries into registry, even, if you do not activate them...maybe at MS nobody thought that someone needs more then 5 todayplugs at once...
just joking

Hi Dejan,
Sounds like an interesting solution. Want to give it a try but I can't find the path to the right regkeys. :?: Do you know were those keys are to be found?
Wouter
Hi Dejan,
I found the reg keys. (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today) and deleted the Task, Calendar and Owner Info keys. Then I did a soft reset but my Bluetooth icon didn't reappear.
Too bad.
Did it work for you?

Hi. I'm working with a MDA Pro (Universal), OS WM 5. The problem is, that I cannot open the pimg.exe, that opens pictures & videos, anymore! By trying to find out ideal settings for my WM5 I also changed some *.lnk files and propably I also changed some registry. Might this be the reason? First I didn't care about it because I've got XnView Pocket running, but now I wanted to assign a picture to a contact and this doesn't work anymore by the same token. If someone might tell me where the directory of the picture I wanna assign to manually can be saved,he will solve my problem as well!
Hope you're able to understand my english, it's not that good, I know.
bye, Thomas
The easiest thing would be to do a hard reset and re-install of all your software (Backup-Restore may not work depending on what you , erm, "fixed".)
Could someone please tell what keys and values exist that contain pimg.exe or other camera settings!?
Or at least all keys and values in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Camera"
Thanx..
Hi all.
Have searched and searched but not found anything so here it goes.
I cannot access settings below the startmenu anymore if I click it the phone reboots.
I tried uninstalling some of the latest programs I installed but to no use (last program beeing BlueFire Mobile VPN which works great by the way).
I can however for instance access the wireless and bluetooth settings if I go via the comm manager.
If I check in file explorer under windows\start menu the settings folder is empty (though I am not sure if its supposed to hold any icons).
So anyone have any tips? Is there some kind of eventviewer available on the device or maybe one you can download (or maybe a crash/debuglogg somewhere)?
Noone knows eyy thats toobad?
Could someone maybe post the contents of the windows\start menu\settings folder and maybe I can sort it out myself?

that folder is empty for me as well.
try to go up one level to startmenu, and check if the setting folder is a shortcut that is mapped to a restart command instead of the real settings.
other than that, soft reset , if that doesn't work. umm. .hardreset is the only thing i can think of.
Thanks for that info then I atleast know seomthing is not missing in that folder.
Have tried softreset several times I guess I have to bite the apple and do a hard reset.
Hi all!
I've been searching these for an hour now....(just hope I've been doing that correctly...)
no clues though, so there it goes:
1.How can I change the file saving location in camera?
2.How can I change the file saving location when receiving beamed files?
Really hoping I am not being a great repetition...
Thank you!
You can change camera save location from the options of the camera to your sd card. However, I have not found a way to change the folder. It's always "/Storage Card/DCIM/100XPRIA/". There ARE in fact registry values which define this path, but changing them doesn't make the camera save to another location.

!! thank you...
silly I am, thought I had searched any menu and sub-menu ...apart from that one....even tried with advance configuration....
I don't thnk it would reasonable renaming folders though cos I believe the current set up helps other applications locating the photos-I think(ie pannel manager when running slide show panel)
Any ideas for the beamed files? SE officially says that this can not be changed.....

I BELIEVE if you use your custom bluetooth software (Such as Persian Blue) you MIGHT be able to set the destination.
There is a great App floating around here to allow you to save your bluetooth sent file Anywhere!!
Do a search for the HTC Bluetooth Inbox!!
Works great!!

Hi all. I've been trying to find any posts on how to change the TD2's default photo filenames to date & time. It's so much better than the default 'IMAGE0001' and so on which says nothing about the picture other than how many photographs you've taken on your ROM before this one. Date & time is also helpful if for some reason the filedate gets broken by copying or making backups. It used to be configurable in the Diamond 1 camera settings. I want it back!
There are some posts about camera filenames but none that I could find were about the HTC ROM camera app. I've tried to find anything useful in the registry, but all i could find there was a way to change the prefix 'IMAGE' to another fixed prefix. It's not listed as an option in the Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3.
Can anybody give me some directions?
I've found two more possible suspects in the registry:
HKLM/software/HTC/camera/captparam/ enabledatefolder = 0
Not sure if this is what I want. I suppose this creates a date folder for every day that you take a picture, but the images themselves are still in the IMAGE0001 filename convention.
Then there's:
HKLM/software/HTC/camera/general/ filenametype = 0
BINGO! Or so I thought. Changed it to 1, nothing happened. Next images still in IMAGE0001 format, even after a softreset.
This key is different on my TD1 and TD2:
HKLM/software/HTC/camera/general/ EnableNewPromptStr4InnerStorage = 0
I have no idea what it does, but on the TD1 (with date filename option) it's set to 1. Changing it doesn't change filename OR the greyed out camera settings/advanced/prefix option. Changed it back to 0.
Tips are still very welcome. Thanks.
*bump*
I am also interested in this. Has anyone make any progress here?
I found the same problem in TP2. When I change filenametype to 1 then soft reset. Prefix setting still grey...
The reason this frustrates me is because I was able to tweak the registry to save my photos to a specific folder on my storage card on a previous device, but no matter what I set the registry to on my TD2, it only saves to My Docs or DCIM on storage card and I have tweaked everything possible for save locations.
Therefore when I copy the new pics from DCIM to my folder, I always have to rename them through windows. WTF?
I've moved on to the HD2, which has the same problem. It seems to have something to do with the storage location: put it on internal storage and you can change the filename prefix, put it on memorycard and you can't.
Here's a fix that works on the HD2, maybe it does the trick for the Diamond2

Great find thanks. I had changed the DCIM to "0" but never went back ito settings to see that it opened up the prefix.
No problem, just help me find out how to tell 'Albums' that the default directory for finding my photographs is no longer the DCIM folder but the My Documents/My Pictures folder. If we get that fixed I'll be 100% satisfied.
Oh and by the way, the HD2 is a killer machine

Do you mean so that it displays in the Manila tab?
If so, just go to the photo tab, select Albums and navigate to the new Album, then in menu set as favorite.
If not, please clarify.
haha that simple! Thanks!
