Every since switching from the tilt 2 to the hd2, i cant seem to get pics to save to the doc/pics on the sd card, and have them named by date/time. Have only been using NRG 21xxx roms on te 2 hd2's with cooked in advanced config.
If i setup advanced config it will save some to one location and sometimes save them to the DCIM. It gets all screwy and i end up switching the setings back.
I dont care where they are saved as long as they always go to the same dir, but i want them named with date/time
Advanced config setup to save to my pictures, and in docs/pictures, or whatever. Pics taken with the camera save to storage card dcim. Yesterday i took a pic to send in mms and it saved to my docs/pics on the sd card.
Very annoying cause it doesnt show in the album since its pointed at dcim. Ugh
i read yesterday in a html file within the rom somehwre (ill try find it when i get home) that even if you change the photo prefix setting, it will still use the default prefix when saved to sd card.
I was also unable to get the sd save location to move from DCIM, not with reg entries, nothing. (admittedly, i only tried for an evening )

I have a tmobile wing and now it doesn't let me delete or move pictures on either the memory card or the phone itself. i have the cooked rom Tmobile Wing with Touchflo installed on it and whenever i try to delete or move pictures, it tells me that the picture is in use when it isn't.
It does this with all of the pictures... Now I can't even send picture messages...
Please help!
try renaming them then soft reset , that usually helps for files that are in use
hello. I searched on and off the site, couldn't find. so I will ask: how do I send a mms using pics from ny sd card. when creating a mms it will only let me use pics from my decvice folders. it won't give access to my sd card folders
From within MMS app:
Click Menu->New->Choose MMS template (unless you have already checked "Always choose custom")->click Insert picture/video->Click drop down upper left-hand corner under Start (probably says My Pictures)->Choose My Device->Choose Storage Card then click on whatever folder your media is in.
Alternatively, you can browse to the picture in Pictures & Video app and then choose Send from the lower left hand corner while viewing.
wow. that was simple. thanks for the help
Hi everyone I have just received my X1 and am very lost with everything it can do.
I am wanting to use my own sounds for email notification and text messaging. How do I do this?
Also, how do I make sure that when i am web browsing, I am using WiFi and not GPRS etc.
Thanks
You can either put the sounds on the root of ur sd card or the root of the phone i believe. I suggest the SD card (if you don't have one get one immediately ) Then all you have to do is go into sounds and pick the ones u want.
To make sure ur using wifi you can just turn on wifi and connect. I'm pretty sure wifi overrides any connection you have established. Also if you want to be 100% sure u can turn off the phone service in the comm manager.
About sounds:
As far as I know they must be on Memory, not SD Card.
There's also a separated default folder > My Documents > My Ringtones,
put it there.
Reagrding WiFi it does NOT automatically override any connection,
here we go:
Install NoData free app.
Turn this on to NOT transfer any network data.
Connect to WiFi.
All the browsers I tried (Opera Mini 4.2, Opera Mobile 9.5)
automatically connect by WiFi, so don't worry.
Email NOT.
So you have to go to email account settings
and in advanced server settings instead of your providers network
choose "The Internet" to connect to sync emails.
Violaa, the email account also connects through WiFi.
Without this setup you'll get errors.
Hope that helps.

They can definitely be put on the root of ur SD card. Not sure if you can put them anywhere else on your sd card but thats where i keep my ringtones.

Okay, than my mistake.
I have put the files I want into my ringtones, but it won't let me select as tone for incoming email or received text message
For ringtones you can have them on the phone or sd card... mine are in a folder called rintones on the sd card... but for sms notification music I have had to put in in the windows folder as it didnt work elsewhere... (under My Device/Windows)
It wasnt listed in the choices of tones for messaging, so I connected the phone to the PC, then copied/pasted the files to the Windows folder of the phone. Now they are there
Hmmm never knew that. Good info though. I haven't changed my sms notification sound in like 5yrs lol...

Well you don't have to connect it to PC to copy and paste files.

Not having much luck Smudge? Try this
Hi Smudge,
There was a thread about this very issue a while back
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448749&highlight=notification
You need to follow the instructions in Xperian's post, he has it figured out pretty damn well and the walkthrough will enable you to create any tone in the correct format for notification use.
Hope this helps,

Hi. I'd need the option to use the old Application for managing the SMS Store.
Does anybody know if it is incorporated in HD2-Roms but hidden, or if the old application from a 6.1 ROM would work on HD2?
Backgroud: I used to created subfolders under Inbox and sent messages as an archive for all SMS I get and send. Every year I export them with PIMBackup and save the resulting file to a safe place.
Now, with the new messaging-application I'm not able to change the folders anymore. The subfolders are still there (I see them in PIMBackup when trying to create a backup), but I can't access them.
Take a look here
Cheers.
Oh thank you.
I must have defined my searches wrong, cause I missed that posting
EDIT: Oh, thank you again. You made me edit the registry and I mistankely changed the Name "System" und HKLM to "e" and I couldn't change it back. :S
Since it is one of the most important keys in the registry, only a hard-reset brought my HD2 back to life.
Well, it was not so bad at all. I have all my data as a backup.
Actually, it was kinda funny to see what the device does when you edit the registry and make a mistake.
Hi, a friend of mine own a Leo ..he wants to save mails in storage card couse internal memory is not enough, on wm 6.1 it was quite easy .. just create 2 folder in storage card and add this 2 registry entry
Name: AttachPath
String: \Storage Card\MAPI\Attachments
Name: PropertyPath
String: \Storage Card\MAPI
but with 6.5 I think is different couse when he add the registry values, storage card is renamed in storage card2 and a folder named storage card appear in \windows.
Any suggestion
Thanks
Nope, I have been searching for an answer to this from day one of owning the HD2. It's also nothing to do with WM6.5 - the tweak worked fine on my HD on 6.5.
I suspect that the cause is something starting up a mail application before the SD Card is mounted. I have tried various tweaks including removing some start up items, but nothing has worked to date.
I'd be very please if someone can crack this!
Hi, not sure if this helps but it's not a tweek but an actual setting on the HD2 -
Start, email, select your client, menu, slide screen up and tap tools, options, storage tab along the bottom, tick the box to store attachments to the SD card.
That's fine for attachments, but we are talking about moving the whole mail store to the SD Card.
That's the difference between having a limited snapshot of recent mail without the full message being downloaded and having every part of all your emails, including sent items.
anyone figured this out yet, it keeps coming up storagecard 2 if you change the reg values
so we have to have to wait.. a custom rom can solve this if is not a 6.5 issue

Weird thing is that if you enable this option, the registry value "AttachPath" gets created pointing to \Storage Card\Inbox.xxxxxxx\Mail Attachments\
But in this case \Storage Card\ doesn't get renamed to \Storage Card2\. But the moment you create "PropertyPath registry value and soft reset the device, it gets renamed.
anychance we can all work together and try to find a fix?
how about if we disabled htc messaging, is there anyone who has a non htc messaging application hd2, who can test this for us ??
I have a lot of email everyday and need to keep it at least 1 week. The email folder occupe my limitation memory. It should solve. Its HTC trouble or Micorsoft?
I have the same problem, around 2.5k mails in Exchange, and 3-3.5k in GMail account, really would like to store them on microSD card
As my working assumption is that the problem is caused by some component of messaging initialising before the SD Card is mounted, I have tried a number of things to delay or prevent obvious messaging stuff loading.
One thing I haven't tried yet is disabling Sense in favour of either Titanium or just the core OS. I'm not in a position to be able to try this myself right now, but if anyone fancies trying it I'd be fascinated to know the result. Then all we would need potentially would be a utility to delay Sense starting by a few seconds?
I do have a horrible feeling that HTC may have something going on at a deeper level though...
Nope, that doesn't work either...
Has anyone been successful with this severe limitation?? I'm at my wits end with this problem!!
i have an idea to a solution
