Saving Files to the Touch HD via Bluetooth - Touch HD General

Guys,
My apologies if this has been covered but I'd like to know if there is a fix, trick, or software you can recommend that will allow me to save files to a particular area.
Maybe I am missing something (unfortunately at the moment I don't have much time/resources to go hunting for the answer myself) but whenever I save a file via Bluetooth it gets saved to some remote part on the My Device/Windows.
I then have to perform a search to find out where the file has been saved to.
Obviously there is a simple solution to this and again I apologies in advance but can someone point me in the right direction.
Cheers.

Go to Settings, Connections, OBEX Inbox and change there.
I have attached the cab if you don't already have this installed.

Does the dialog box for choosing the destination directory appear on your Touch HD when you press the "..." button?
It doesn't appear on my Touch HD, but it will appear fine on my HP 6828 (320x240, WM6.1).

HTC HD reboots when I click settings...

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.

No problem at all. Another tip that you might want to know is that you can keep the alphabet scroll always on by unchecking the auto hide scroller enabled option (Menu/option/customize under the general tab), whille keeping the enable touch scrolling and letter navigation scroller options ticked.
I find having it on all the time useful. I can very quickly go to the file name that I want, similar to searching the contact database. Make sure that you sort by name though.

Suggest you start a new thread for the mms question, and limit this thread to the Resco explorer problem.

No, I don't have that manila file but I can see many other manila files. I don't see why this manila file has to be different from the other manila files though. If it is there, it should show up since the others with same file attributes are showing.
Sorry that I can't be of more help Alex.

HOW to multiselect Pictures then???
Okay, if this is already there, kindly somone explain HOW I can multiselect some pictures i.e. to beam at once?
Cannot find a way, only one by one so far.
I use resco file explorer which enables me to select many files at once to beam it to another phone.

well this is like holding the left mousebutton i windows and dragging the mouse to select several files at once, so in x1 and other it will work in total commander and other apps like it by simply drag stylus over several files to select them.
Oops accidental double post!
And that's all just a registry setting? How rare. Nice though, thanks!

The answer to this lies in understanding bluetooth. Natively Bluetooth beam supports single file transfer. I.E. you have to send them one at a time, even folders containing multiple files cannot be beamed. This is where a third party application is required, which can automatically send multiple files 1 by 1 when you select more than one. I use Resco Explorer, out of the box it allows you to select multiple files with a drag of the stylus and perform any regular operation on them all even transfer across wifi/bluetooth. hope this helps
Don't think this has anything to do with 'understanding' either Bluetooth nor 'how its beamed'. My P990i could do this just fine with bluetooth or infrared!
And when you "try" to select more pics, the phone does not know yet what you want to do with that.... sending via Bluetooth, email, mms, etc. So that has nothing to do with this. Its a Windows craps perhaps?!?!
bharat4ever
Okay, thanks.
Will try a third party app now (once again...)
In the meantime I found to use the Virtual Keyboard, hold down Ctrl button and then can select any number of files. Most of the time it works to mutli send / beam the files/pics.
Or, one can use Resco Explorer to do the same.

Save photos/beamed files in memory card

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!!

"Bluetooth Inbox"

Since I got my HD2 I have found that a real gripe has been the inability to select where incoming files received via Bluetooth are stored.
By default the HD2s' own Bluetooth File Transfer setting stored it in "My Documents". No matter what changes I made to this, I could never get it to save to my Storage Card. I even tried installing the brilliant (and always essential on my older HTC devices) ObexInbox software, which made no difference at all on the HD2.
In the end I trawled through the registry and eventually found the key which controls the location of the incoming "bluetooth-ed" files.
\HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\BTConfig\Services\0003\Root
Change this key from whatever it is set to to your new location (in my case this was \Storage card\Bluetooth Inbox )
Voila! - incoming files over bluetooth now get stored where I want them to!
If anyone else was having the same problems I was, then this should help you out!
BT Manager -> Settings -> Advanced -> File transfer
You can choose the path here, and it will actually change the reg value you mentioned. BUT, it still saves received files in My docs...
If I tick the box below about using storage card, it will save to the card root. Already a small step...

in mine,
\HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\BTConfig\Services\0003\Root
doesnt exist, root is actually in
\HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\BTConfig\Services\0002\Root
In my 0003 i have one called InboxDirectory with the same value as root.

you need to change both places in the registry
Summary - on mine i change
\HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\BTConfig\Services\0002\InboxDirectory
and
\HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\BTConfig\Services\0003\root
