Hi
I have imported some photos to my HD2 to use as contact pictures using windows media player and the quality is appaling despite them being taken with a 10m pixel camera and looking great on my laptop screen.
Any ideas as to how to fix this?!
Thanks
Transfer them directly to the storage card via usb disk drive mode...

Hi, I'm going on Holiday soon and want to use my XDA Exec to view photos I take with my digital camera (beats taking the laptop along just to do that).
Now, I understand the Exec doesn't have Host functionality through the USB port, so is there any other way of getting the photos off a Sony Memorystick and onto the XDA?
I've looked around for a USB Host SDIO card and can't find one (not sure the XDA Exec would support it anyway).
Anyone got any suggestions?
TIA
I'm not 100% sure, but I think I saw a device in PC World that looked like a USB hub, but it was for connecting digital cameras to USB memory sticks, however I only briefly looked at the picture on the box and didn't check it out closely.
Might be worth asking at PC World though in case I didn't imagine it. For gods sake don't mention the exec to the staff there, as they are completely incapable of thinking, but if it would work for a memory stick it might be able to work for the exec, especially as there is a thread around here about making the exec appear as usb memory to a PC.
I found this link http://homepage.mac.com/techedgeezine/2004-0624_syncbox1.htm

At the very worst you'd have to get one of these and a small SD card reader to plug into the USB stick slot.
I have the same problem.
Another device is the Delkin USB Bridge:

Similar idea but the Macally SyncBox allows you to copy a subset of the files by storing them in a folder called SyncBox though you won't be able to move files into that folder on most digital cameras.
If you want to turn your PDA into a USB mass storage device get a USB sync cable and this software:

The problem I have with the USB bridge type devices is that they copy everything. I have a Vosonic 6230 MultiMedia Viewer:
http://www.vosonic.com/index.php?PA=product&id=10&kind_id=12
It's a portable HD with multi-card reader. So basically you can copy files from MS card to HD and then from HD to SD card. Not as cheap or light as a USB bridge but you can also use it as extra storage for your PDA and camera or a video player which can connect to a TV.
Looking on Macally site, they now have SyncBox II which allows you to copy individual files:

Why don't more manufacturers implement USB host? It would make PDAs a lot more useful.
The SyncBox II isn't available yet but Memorex have 2 similar devices - one with multi-card reader, one without:

But I don't think it's currently available from a UK retailer.
Hi
I just wondered if anyone had tried to connect an external camera via the mini usb port. I have a Canon EOS 350d camera and it would have been fun if you could take a picture, connect the camera to the phone and transfer the picture over. Then you could use wifi on the phone and transfer the picture home or something else.
Is it possible? Does anyone know about any software for doing something like this?
Unfortunately, I don't think the phone can be used as 'USB Host', which is what you would need for this to work.
Ooops - I may be wrong! Have a look here:

I was thkning about the same thing. Only solution I could come up with as lots of adapters, but in the camera not in the phone. No one makes sd to compact flash adapters, but they do make them the other way round. Just means you'd have to go microsd > sd > compactflash.
Hi,
I was using my phone to take some pictures and suddenly I was looking in the gallery for old movies and pictures (had 550 of them) and its all gone !!!
I connected the phone to the PC and still nothing is there except for the last pictures taken and some old pictures i imported from old phone.
I don't have an External SD all on the phones memory.
anyway i can retrieve the data ?
thanks.
Solution
1. Connect the phone in USB storage mode to your PC.
2. Download a program called Recuva, install it and run
3. A wizard will guide you through the recovering process - make sure you select the phones drive from the list.
That is it.
good luck
Hi guys,
So I'm sitting happy with the new N4, but my photo galleries in my Galaxy Nexus are still on the old device. I've searched Google up and down but there doesn't seem to be a way to copy the galleries from one device to another. How'd you guys manage to get your old photos and videos onto your new N4?
Most likely via their phone charger (usb cable) hooked up to their computer and transferred the data to their computer and then transferred the data from their computer to their new phone.
transfer the stuff on your galaxy nexus to the computer. Then hook up your N4 and transfer it from the computer to your N4. Or if you want to do it the long way you can android beam everything lol.
Hi,
I have a HTC Surround T8788 (Windows Phone 7), which freezes on startup, and I can't connecting it to the computer via Zune to recovere my photos.
but I can access the bootloader.
for the solution I do a hard reset and the problem is solved, but I want to get photos that are important.
I'm looking to fix the problem without losing my photos or to accessing in memory and recovering my photos.
Thank you in advance.
