changing storage path of camera pictures from main memory

Hi,
I have a Cingular 8125. I want to chang storage path of camera pictures from main memory to Storage Card (mini sd), any way of doing this. In camera tools settings, the only options I get is Main Memory or Network. I updated my ROM to cingular 2.25

This has been covered several times. You need to remove whatever you installed that gives you the "Network" option. The camera App is only expecting to see 2 places to store photos.
Search "Camera Storage Network", you'll see the discussions.

Thanks, did a search for Camera Network storage, find nothing, I remove Pocket Lan and still not able to delete the NETWORK folder. Please help. Thanks

Searching for "Camera Storage Network" (I told it to find all, limited the results to 1 page of posts) in the Wizard Forum I found this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=283551&highlight=camera+storage+network#283551
Looks like there are still some residual registry settings left over from Pocket LAN.
I'd say reinstall pocket lan then unselect the setting.

This is bad, so that means everytime I want to save pics to the storage card, I have to go to pocket lan, and remove enable network folder, reboot my 8125, there isn't a tweak to enable storage card as second or primary storage for the camera pics? Thanks for your help

The problem is that the application populates the dropdown in alphabetical order and only expects to see 2 options. There is not a registry hack that can change poor programming.

Can't save video to storage card - not an option

I can’t save video to the "storage card" it doesn't give me that option anymore – only options are “main memory” or “network”
I’ve seen the previous post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50588&highlight=
but this didn’t help - how do I disable network folder option. then re-enable it after.”
I don’t have Pocket LAN installed or any LAN *.* but I recently installed “Resco Explorer”
Any guidance is appreciated.

Can't reach \\UNC path while on WiFi

This is my premiere post on xda.
I don't seem to figure out how to access my network shares through the HD2 filemanager.
Everytime I try to go to Filemanager\Menu\GoTo\Open path\New Path ... and state something like: \\Server\Share and hit Go. I end up with a stopsign.
"It's not possible to connect" I'm then presented with 2 choices.. "Settings" and "Close"
Heading towards settings brings me to "connections", and I probably have something not quite right there.
I have two sections. My PhoneCompany Internet Settings and "My worknetwork". However I'm only able to play with Modem, VPN or Proxies there. Can't really figure out what to do here.
Anyone with the key to success willing to share this divine knowledge?

I can connect to a share using a UNC path over WIFI with no problem. I don't use the inbuilt file manager, I'm using Total Commander.
I shared a folder on my desktop PC (Windows 7) and the put the path (\\PC-Name\Share-Name\), username and password into the LAN settings in TC and it connected right away.
I use it quite a bit to transfer files to/from PC and phone.
Give TC a go. Linky

You don't need Total Commander at all.
To get File manager to connect to shares over Wifi, do this...
Go to the Settings tab, then touch MENU, All Settings
Touch CONNECTIONS
Touch CONNECTIONS
Touch the ADVANCED tab
Touch SELECT NETWORKS
You will see two separate settings, one for "Programs that connect automatically to the Internet" and one for "Programs that connect automatically to a private network".
You will probably see the top one is set up to connect to your service provider's GPRS (in my case it says "Virgin GPRS").
The bottom one is probaby set to "My Work Network". The problem is, "My Work Network" isn't set up to do anything, it's a dummy setting.
So change it to be the same as the top one, again in my case "Virgin GPRS".
Then touch OK, OK, OK, X
Now you can go into File Explorer and connect to your file shares on your PC, using...
MENU, Go To, Open Path, New Path...
Type in \\servername\sharename
and unless your security is set up wrong, it should connect.
Hope this works for everyone.
Incidentally, when you try to connect, you may find it first connects to your service provider, but then it uses the Wifi. Don't panic!

[Q] Changing the default network connection

I want to automatically select the default network to which the device connects
(the first combo in Settings->WirelessControls->menu->Connections->Advanced->SelectNetworks -
See attached image)
My problem is as follows -
When I set up the connection to the operator -
it sets the default network to be <<3G Portal>>
I want to automatically change it to <<Internet 3G>>
(Or in the worst case -
Automatically delete the <<3G Portal>> -
making the <<Internet 3G>> the only available option -
which will force it to be default)
Does anyone know how to do this ?
(Even if some Cpp/C# code is needed - does anyone know the API ?)
Thanks

Not a lot of sense there
Looking at the screen print
The phone is set up to access the web FIRST via the 3G portal (every phone needs a portal to get online).
The second option looks to me to be a WIFI connection. Wifi always take priority over gprs/3g/hspa
so unless you can make a bit more clear what your looking for......................
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
Of course, if you mean a different web access point get the APN settings and manualy add then from the settings menu - wireless and networks access point names - press the menu button - add apn

As I understand your Q, you wanna auto set the default network without having to manually change it everytime you hard reset / change roms?
Here's what I do for such things.
Get ceregistry editor, connect to your phone, export the registry to file, then, on the phone, change the default access point to the one you would rather it was, (possibly reboot phone here to be sure the registry has changed the default apn,) back into ceregistry editor, compare current registry to the snapshot, figure out which key changed, and to what value, then provision that reg key (via a cab, or provxml,) whenever you hard reset, after the network has been set up. (I have a cab with dozens of tweaks in it,you can just keep adding to it)

Thanks for the reply.
Both connections are over the Cellular network.
The first one (3G Portal) is set up by the operator to go via some proxies and stuff, which block certain services/sites as they are not stored on this proxy.
The Second one is "unfiltered" internet connection over the Cellular network.
Whenever the network is detected and set up, the settings are automaticelly set to go via the "proxied" connection.
I want to change it to work over the unfiltered connection.
I would like to know the registry keys or any other place this information is kept, so I could automatically change it.
I tried searching the registry for these values but could not get to a definite conclusion about where exactly the "default connection" is stored, or if it is stored in the registry altogether.
(If it is stored in the registry - I do NOT want a complete registry import/export - just the relevant keys)
Many thanks in advance.

Yes it is stored in the reg, but it stores an ID for each connection which is different for everyone, hence the method I suggested which would reveal both the key and the ID, I wasn't suggesting you import a whole registry, simply make a cab of just the one key. It would take about 10 mins to do, but I'm not running winmo so can't lookup the key for you.

Try using Data Controller by Red Frogfish. With this app, you can turn on and off all of your different connections indvidually.
Since, I have T-Mobile, I have the following connections:
T-Mobile Data
T-Mobile MMS
T-Mobile Internet
And, Data Controller lets turn each on or off as needed/wanted.

Ok, thanks.
I will try this method.

●●[ROOTED][GUIDE]Wifi Reverse teTher-Windows and Ubuntu-Ad hoc Networks●●
This guide teaches you to reverse tether your Android phone via WiFi. That is, it allows you to use your Ethernet connection of PC on your Android phone. It is useful for those who do not have WiFi routers and data connection. So if you have unlimited data plan for your computer, why not share the connection with your phone?
I am not the developer of the files supplied
Requirements:-
1.Rooted Phone
2.Wifi enabled Laptop or PC
3.Root explorer or any other application which gives system access
4.File in the attachement
Procedure :-
Phone:
Download Wpa_supplicant.zip and extract "wpa_supplicant" from it, save it on your SD card.
Open Root Explorer, and grant it superuser access when asked for.
Navigate to system -> bin and long press on wpa_supplicant; Select copy, and paste the file into any folder on your SD card.
Now navigate to the file you downloaded, copy it in same way, and paste it back to system -> bin. Note, you might need to mount the system as R/W instead of R/O by pressing a button on the top just before pasting the file.
Reboot.
▬▬Ubuntu (Must work for other Linux Distros too)▬▬:
Open Network Connections
Goto Wireless tab, select add, and set the following:
SSID:
Mode: Ad hoc
Leave other things unchanged, and go to Ipv4 settings tab
Set method to Shared to other computers
Go to Wireless security tab and set Security to WEP 40/128 bit key and set key to a numeric password (or hexadecimal one).
Check the connect automatically box on top of the tabs and press Save.
Your Android phone must now detect this network, and you can establish the connection by using your security key.
▬▬Windows XP, Vista, 7▬▬
Download and Install Connectify from www . connectify.me/download-lite/
Start Connectify Hotspot by giving a name and password to your hotspot and selecting the Ethernet connection to share. Make sure the security type is WEP or Open.
Disable your firewall (Simply adding it to exceptions doesn't work for AVG at least)
Now your phone should be able to see the hotspot and establish the connection using the password set.
Known Issues :
1.Random disconnections (Very less frequency)
2.Disconnections due to screen lock / sleep on laptop
3.For me Security mode does not works
HIT THANKS IF IT WORKED
ENJOY

I think there is an easier way for windows although I cant test it right now.
In network settingfind option to create new network. Create an ad-hoc network.
In start menu search for "network connection".
In network connections, highlight both the network you just created and the network that your internet comes from.
Right click and select bridge networks.
Shouldn't require doing anything to your phone or even being rooted. As I said I havn't tested this but I don't see why it would not work.
Does anyone know if there is a way to reverse tether over USB?

For USB tethering there are many third party application in play store.
And I have seen in many devices that after creating ad-hoc network also ... the device doesn't gets connected to internet.

Even if the network is bridged to a regular internet network?

I guess you missed attaching the files needed. even though they are included in the link in your signature about the same thread in other forum

File attached

Hi
thanks for this. But I downloaded and pasted the wpa_supplicant file in my rooted Galaxy S2 (Wanamlite rom) and I canno't activate the wifi anymore.
Any tips ?
thanks
