After every softreset to my Qtek9000, I get the message bellow during startup.
"Photo Storage Card Inserted
Would you like to view the pictures on your storage card now?"
Any hint, how to get rid of this?
If you have a folder on your SD card called DCIM then move any contents of that folder to another folder within your SD card (or create another folder ie My Photos) and then delete the folder DCIM. This should solve it.
Great. You were right!
The message pops-up even if DCIM folder is empty.
Wonder how this folder appeared.
i was supposed 2 post this same question, good thing i searched 1st. tnx Conchas 4 d question & tnx ArgyleMoss 4 d answer.
if i may add, u can just rename ur DCIM folder into any other name & that msg at startup wont appear anymore.
Hi Guys,
My XDA Mini S has lost teh ability to activesync! I have tried everything and i think my only option is to reflash it. However I want to backup my contacts, calendar etc first. What are the files i need to copy to back these up? I loked but couldnt find them!
Thanks in advance.
I had a similar issue. What I did was copy my PIM.vol file to my SD card. Once that was done, remove the SD card and reset your device. When you get it running again. Copy the PIM.vol file back to the device and replace the one that is there.
Hope this helps

I had to do a hard reset and I have lost all of my contacts. Before doing the reset I saved all the files on my HD2 to my computer.
Anyone know where contacts file is located so I can import it?
you can use pim backup to save your contacts and many other things
Wasn't aware of that one, will definitely use that in the future.
Given that I wasn't wise enough to back up with PIM first, and only saved all the files onto my computer...any idea how to restore contacts now?
What format did you save them onto your computer in? You might be able to import them into Outlook and synchronize them.
I just copied the folder in the root directory and the storage card folder and pasted them onto pc
Which folder? To my knowledge there is no such folder.
contacts are not stored in a folder. They are stored in a "database". The file is PIM.VOL located at the root of the device. Theoritically, I guess you could copy it to the PC (or SD card) and overwrite it after a hard reset. Except it's locked by the system, so you would first have to kill the handle to the file. Many tools allow this kind of trick on PC's but I haven't found one on WM yet
phone contacts
I am using HyperdroidV1.7 with windows Mobile Artemis V 50. Unfortunately I lost my phone contacts under windows. Using android all contacts are still there. Is there a way to copy them back to simcard using android or copy files back to windows mobile ?
Thanks for your help.

Wow, I'm not the expert but there is one solution I made with the WhatsApp folder that might work,
here it is, "make sure make backup of both folder."
1. Copy both folder in different folder like 'font' Or copy in the PC
2. Than merge other folder by copying content from dcim to DCIM because phone reads DCIM by default.make it is merged not replaced.
3. Now delete both dcim and DCIM folder from internal memory.
4. Than copy that merged DCIM folder to phone memory.
Boom all ok
