Ive got the S100 and have two questions.
1. Is there any way making the camera saving all picstures in the same folder? Right now its generating anew folder every day.
2. When I receive a MMS it doesnt connect with the contact list, wich means I dont get the name of the sender, just his/hers number. When receiving a SMS it will state who sent it with name taken from the Contact list.
All help appreciated!

there must be some registry tweak! I saw one in this forum, done it, but have no results...
After day-by-day using the camera, I have realise, that it is very comfartable. I mean the different folders every day - pics doesn't mixing.
relax, man, and enjoy!!!
You could install the latest version of the camera software, that allows you to customise how it names the files and whether it puts them in a new folder. While you're there you could try the latest version of the MMS software too, to see if that helps.

And after you have installed the new version on camera (that don't create any folder, but save directly in /My Documents/My Picture by default) use this reg trick to save the picture where you want:
From a post that I've found in this forum:
"Get you're favorite registry editor (i use phmRegEdit) and go to the following key: HKLM\SOFTARE\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\Image
You should find an empty value called "SaveFolder". You can change this to whatever you like (even invalid paths but it must be able to get created by the camera app). So if you set it to "\My Pictures" the pics you take will be stored in
(Storage Card)\My Documents\My Pictures\(some dated dir)\(somepicname).(some extension)
as far as i could see the SaveTo DWORD represents the storage location (0 = \My Documents, 1 = Storage card)
What i'd like to have is a tweak that does not create those nasty long dir names... just store the pics in "\My Documents".

[Edit] You can do the same trick for the /Video key [/Edit] "
Bye bye
yes-yes-yes, that's what I'm talking about... But it is not working with default camera!

+ I am talking about ALL .cabs in list of udates! What about their differences? And what kind of apps is they, I mean, what do they do?

Well, installed the "Camera_Wizard_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_RC23_Customize.CAB" wich only gave me another problem. The camera is only taking pics horisontal...

Well, cant see any difference actually...
Well, the original cab file for the MMS prog would be great as well, since the new one didnt work - at all
There's apparently not much you can do regarding picture quality but the latest camera software patch will fix up the snow problem on your pictures. You will still see snow on the viewer but the pictures will be snow-free
I have installed the rc28 camera and it gives total sh*t to today screen... I can't describe it... some kind of traces of launched apps remains and there is no wallpaper... I've perform the Hard Reset.
Camera app is working, but there is no difference. exept landscape mode onle, mms video mode (don't notice it in default app), and absent day-folders when saving.
ADVICE: DON'T install it!!!!
I don't know about the RC23 or RC28. I installed the patch by ampda (which is newer than RC23)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33305&highlight=
And the camera is great, you can take shots in landscape or potrait mode plus the snow problem is fixed as well.
What CAb did you install? There are some few that all regards the camera..
And does anyone know what the original version of the MMS prog is named, and where I can find it?
/n
There are individual patches but there is one cab that incorporates the patches and update the camera version. File is called
ampda_CameraV2.7b21026_RAM.CAB
copy the CAB file to your \windows folder then run it on your handheld. Then make a backup copy the file \windows\camera.exe
The CAB will create a file called camera27b21026.exe or something similar in the \windows so rename that file to camera.exe
And there you have it.
For the MMS, will be something like this file on your EXT ROM

THANX!!
If you install the RC28 camera file you just have to reset your today wallpaper and it will be fine, I think the same happened when I tried 23 too.
I have a couple of problems with the contact list and the phone favorites portion of the Sense UI.
1) Are there any way to display First name then Last name in contact list? Everyone in my contacts have Last name then First name.
2) Also, if it's just a company name, when you add a contact to the "shortcuts" (the 3x3 boxes), it says "No Name". There must be a way to fix that.. right? I'd hate to go into all of my contacts that only have business names and fix it by putting the company name in the first name field. Especially considering that I'm syncing contacts with Google contacts and I would prefer to have each field be accurate.
3) Lastly, because most of my contacts do not have pictures, and the "shortcuts" will only display first name. I would for example have 5 Johns w/o any way of immediately knowing which John it is. Are there any workarounds for that?
If it's a configuration setting for some/all of these issues, could someone please point them out to me? I apologize in advance if it's a simple thing and I just couldn't find where the settings are.
Allied to the points just raised - I would like to change my favourite contacts to display surname, not just the first name. Is there a workaround to achieve this please?
Bump. Are we the only 2 people that see these as issues? Or have you guys figured out some workarounds?
Count me in...i am shouting about this from my touch pro 2 time ... i have put a shortcut to contacts in main tab, and set it to view them filtered by company name, it helps a little.
To get first name first =
Find a contact, edit the contact... scroll all the way down to the bottom, and push the "more" button. Change the second "name choice" - I cant remember what exactly its named in english. But is should be the choice of how to vies the contact. In this form you can choose first og last name.
I have'nt figured out how to do/if its possible to mass change this. I have onlyd found one by one solution
Hope it was helpfull

Company logo as the contact picture perhaps? I've done that myself, far better than a blank box anyway.
Similar thing with your collection of Johns.

I think what you're trying to say is change the 'File as' to First name, Last name.
Perhaps there's a registry hack to change the default behaviour of this field?
ContactFix
Search for ContactFix v1.3 & this will do what you're looking for. I use this & it works great on HD2.

Yes ! That is the name of the field for changing first or last name Thanks !
could you point to me where ContactFix v1.3 is? I found a posting by someone with 4 cabs here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=966683&postcount=3
However, installing it does nothing on my HD2. Can you tell me where the ContactFix v1.3 is? thanks!
Bump. Could someone point me to the location for the ContactFix program? I searched but couldn't come up with exactly v1.3 of the program. Anyone?
Thanks in advance for the assistance!

I'm sorry to dig up an old thread of my own, but I still have an issue un-resolved from the ContactFix solution. The ContactFix solution does provide the sorting fix. However, in the Sense UI's "shortcuts" for the People, I can still only have a first name.
So if you've got 5-6 Johns and you don't have a picture for them, then you are pretty much screwed - you can't really tell which is which unless you have memorized exactly where on the shortcut list you've placed them.
HTC, could you please fix this? I really don't understand how something as basic as this was missed in QA!

I believe the shortcuts are meant to be used with a photo. There's no room there to put labels with first and lastname. So unless you name them John1, John2 etc, I don't think there's a solution.
30 seconds in MS paint should give you an image with Faceless John's full name typed on it. It's a reasonable workaround for those shadowy figures with no visible appearance.
Not perfect, but it's something.
Further to the earlier raised issue of contacts defaulting to File As.. Last Name, First Name.
I have between 450 - 500 contacts in Outlook and sync'd to my HD2 via Exchange Server. Works well. Nearly all of the time my contacts are added/edited on my laptop and I love the fact they are automatically 'there' on my phone.
I also like the HTC front-end interface for the Contacts bit of Windows Mobile 6.5, making it easier (finger friendly) to add contacts. However this interface neither gives you the option to default to File As.. First Name, Last Name nor let you change it on entry/edit. Instead you have to then go into the native WM6.5 Contacts bit and change it there. A bit of a pain and oversight in my opinion.
Ideally there'd be a way to set a default? Any ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance..
I'm sorry, but that's not a reasonable request from my point of view. The system should at least give you the option.
To be honest, I really think you've used to mediocre OS for too long. I did not just spend $800 so I can use MS Paint to paint a faceless John full name typed on it. If I spent $50, I might be okay with that, but not when I spend $800.

Actually, I have a question: Would a custom ROM for HD2 be able to fix this? I'm just asking about the possibility, not whether we can do it right now or not. I know that the phone is so new that we don't have custom ROMs yet.
But would it be possible for a custom cooked ROM alleviate issues like this?

is there a fix for this? tried searching but couldn't find anything, just a lot of threads about the delay to reply which works slightly better due to new fix released today
anyway, in conversation mode, if I reply quickly back to a text message within the same minute then it goes before the text I'm replying to instead of after it!
not exactly good if you send quick texts often as the conversation looks a mess!
thanks
Hi,
Try installing the latest hotfix for SMS. They've sorted out the little bugs in texting. You can download it from: http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=all
Hope this helps!

I'd already installed the update earlier today and it's still there . Surely it doesn't just look at hour:min in the text message details and list them. Wouldn't it work better if they also date/stamp (including seconds) the text when it's received so it will work OK in conversation mode?
try it yourself and send a text to yourself and when you get it, reply straight away and it will put the 2nd sent text before the text you received in the 1st place!
This happened to me where all my Texts were at the top of the conversation and all my friend's replied were at the bottom. Is this the same problem you had? I solved it by changing the message type to unthreaded in settings.
i have same issue .. my gf replies straight away and it appears she answered my question before i asked it .. its very annoying
Took me a LOT of searching when I had the same problem, but this fixed it for me:
Edit the following registry key...
HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\
add a DWORD key "TrustTimeZoneField" and give it a value of "0"
No more time zone issues. This is caused by your operator I think sending the wrong time to the phone...
SOURCE: http://www.mattgibson.ca/2008/04/13...gsm3g-windows-mobile-56-smartphonespocketpcs/
this change only solve if u r in diff timezone.
but we are both in same timezone.... but sms timestamp is not basic on our mobile time setting is basic on their one

I'd faced this issue too. The way I could fix it was set the Time of my HD2 about 2-3 Mins forward than the current time. That solved the SMS order issue.
Actually the issue seems to be due to the Timestamp of the SMS which is given by the Mobile Operator being a bit ahead than the time on your HTC Device.
Did you try it? Was happening in the same time zone with me and this solved it.

that's no fix as the problem is then reversed as then incoming texts go before the ones you've sent out . I found that out straight away as I normally put my phone fast anyway but then got incoming texts going before my initial texts! Even just 1 minute ahead doesn't work as texts sent/received within that minute get mixed up!
my G1 used to time stamp them as they came in with the time of the handset, not time sent or network time. Good for conversation on G1 as it got them in the right order but it had it's flaw. The problem being you didn't know when it had actually been sent to you if your phone had been off for any amount of time as it simply time stamped when received when you'd switched your phone back on!
whoever tested the SMS feature of this phone obviously didn't do a good job at all strange that such a great feature handset trips up on one of the most used features that most other handsets work perfectly fine with
There's still no fix for this?

its annoying that little bugs like this have not been addressed by HTC
same issue here
i am wondering when will HTC put a fix to this fundamental problem on a core function such as SMS. Seriously, the HTC messaging is nice, but with the lag and timestamp issue, it makes HTC seem like they're trying too hard and not focusing on making the phone work well first than look nice. I am frustrated as hell too, but trips to the service centre only gave me answers like "wait for a software release/upgrade", i am wondering whether do you receive any problems with the touch screen? the screen actually jitters and shakes up and down even when your finger is still frequently. i have changed the main board 2 times already and it happens still.
Btw, my set's from singapore.

Hi All,
I dont have an HD2 (Wish I did but monies tight) but I have a question that I and trying to find an answer to. It requires a test if no one has done it yet.
Can someone please go into the camera Set it to its highest setting with superfine selected for quality and take a picture and then see what the size of the file is. Then Go to the HTC msg app, and create a new msg tap the paperclip to attach a picture and then take the same picture, and tell me what the size of the file is? (If this has already been done I am sorry).
It seems that with the Touch Pro 2, and my guess the HD2 as well have two different settings for the camera to take pictures. The reason I asked for this info is because I am trying to see if there is a way to stop the re-sizing of the pictures to such a drastic small size. If this has been covered please direct me to the link cause I havent seen a thread about it yet anywhere.
If not, would someone try that and get back to me?
I got 718.9 kb for a non mms picture, when I went to add one to mms it was 41.8 kb..hopefully that helps
It helps confirm my suspicison that there is two camera settings, but I dont know if the p1-p10 setting under HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera is where the msg camera setting is located.
Thanks for doing that, now that its confirmed that HD2 and TP2 both have two different camera settings, now to find out where, because under ATT you have a 600K limit to send MMS, so why doesnt it re-size it to a decent size instead of so small.
Guys, i need to record the time and date when taking photos. So i am looking for an app to do that, ideally would print the date/hour in the picture... if this is not possible is there a way to know at what time was a photo taken?
I guess this is very basic question, but i am a really noob in this matter =)
I am using HTC HD2 with Pdaimatejam WP 7.8 rom. (excelent ROM btw)
Tks in advance.
Found an app to do this:
Photo TimeLine
every photo have digital tag with information with time and other data (GPS location is enabled)... i hate date and time when visible on photo

Yeah, i don't like date/time visible in photo either, but in this case i really need the information. After read your post i sync the photos with zune in my pc and all the info was there, time and date taken and even GPS coords =) (oh my.. we really live in a BigBrother world)
So.. i guess theres probably an app to read this digital tag inside HD2.. that would be perfect! Gonna search for it.
Found it.

Photo Info in.
