I resolve modify on line my date and also create account on zune.another question where is possibile able disable gps and in wich folder can i save mp3?
to disable the gps, just turn location services off.....
As for where to save the music in what folder? on the phone itself, you don't have a choice, on your computer, zune looks at the musilibraryry, and if you have it somewhere else you can tell it to search that folder in the settings.

Hi, I have an XDA II wm2003 I think?
Is there a way to get Contacts to store with the first name first, and last name last?
As a work round I change it in outlook on my pc, but can you do this on the phone?
Also when I reset my phone the storage locations for the camera goes back to it's default, is it possible to change the storage location in the registry?? And how would I do this
Thank you,
Damian
I threw a few music files in the MY PDA folder under My Documents on my PC and expected them to sync accross to my Vario II. After connecting the phone it sent a couple across then I got a warning on the phone that 'Storage Memory is Critically Low'. Obviously the files had been synced onto the phone. Thought you would be able to specify to sync onto the phone storage card but there is no option for this anywhere.
Anyone know a way to do this?
if you set up the sync option for media player in active sync and then set up the playslists you want to sync in media player on your pc it will automatically set up the folders on your card and transfer the files. it does warn not to drag and drop onto the card of you want the sync process to work.
Cheers cdyat, but this was more of a test. For instance, what if I want to sync 30Mb of Office files with my phone. It would appear that I can't just put these in the My PDA Sync folder to be copied next time I connect, but I have to cut and paste from the relevant folders.
This to me seems ridiculous but I can't see an option to change the location to sync with the storage card anywhere.
You can only sync files, be default, into main memory. There are two 3rd party apps available (Sorry can't remember the names) that will allow you to Sync anything to anywhere. One is commercial and the other is a Japenglish conversion. Try searching these forums for links.
I am all for searching, but if anyone comes up with a name for those two apps, please post =)
As another user recently posted in this forum, Pocket Controller has a Sync Manager that can be used to synchronize files and folders to any location, including storage cards.
Pocket Controller sounds very nice but $35 is quite a lot just to enable me to sync a folder to my storage card.
I had assumed there must be a registry setting somewhere on the PC that would change the default path?
Try these

YMMV, but have a nice day...
Cheers Daniel, Mobsync looks like it might do the trick.
Acid Sync - Sync Computer Folder to SD Card\Folder
A guy I know is working on a program to do this with a much easier configuration since it just syncs Desktop folder to Storage Card folder. Pretty simple really, copy mp3 or whatever to desktop folder and it will sync to PPC folder and viceversa. Still in beta though

When I first setup my XDA Mini-S, I gave it my full name (firstname surname) as my device name. This has the unwanted side effect of giving out my full name (which is rare name!) to every Hotspot I connect to. I don't like the implications of this and want to correct this.
I have seen in the settings on my XDA that I can change this device name to anything I want. However, what will this do to my current sync setup with my PC? Will changing this name on the PDA upset the PC? Will it just create a new Sync user? Will it correctly recognise that the name has changed but it is still the same device so keep the profile, but update its name accordingly?
Any help on how to update without causing any problems would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
from experience with an older PDA and activisync, changing the name could create a new sync user and there should be no problems .. but don't take my word for it...
Thanks for that help.
Would that mean that all my settings would be transferred to the new profile seamlessly? Are there any downside to having a new profile?
Can I easily delete everything in the old profile (to save duplications), without losing info on the device or PC?
Any more info anyone can supply would be great.
Thanks
Mike
Hi Mike,
I don't dare to answer you specifically as I don't sync with my PC. I just know that
Just sync with another PC...
Hmm, I just tried and change my device ID.. Activesync seems to just follow the name change..

Do you mean changing your "Owner Name"? I don't think changing your Owner Name is any problem with ActiveSync.
What I found that WAS a headache was that purchased software registration keys are often tied to the Owner Name, and won't work if the Owner Name is different from what you listed when you purchased the software.
i dont know about a reg key to change your wireless name... but there might be, i know there is one to change your bluetooth name..
Change bluetooth name

Hi There,
You can change your device ID as often as you like - however, I would recommend that you delete the current mobile device first (in Activ Sync under File Menu) - then just rename your device (under "About/Device ID) on your XDA mini s and reconnect to your PC via activ sync. You should see the system open the "Set up new partnership" screen just follow the instructions and you should have a new connection with your device using your new device ID.
Hope this helps - it's should be simple.
Chris.

This is what I thought of doing. It sounds like you think that no data should be lost in the transfer to a new DeviceID, it will just create a new profile.
I guess the method you are suggesting would be:
1) Full Sync.
2) Delete Profile off Computer
3) Change DeviceID
4) Re-sync with computer creating new profile with wizard.
My real question would be with step 2, should this be the last step instead? Or will it cause a conflict? (My concern being if anything went wrong, then I just lost the previous config too so couldn't roll back.
I guess I could add a "Take Disk Image" of the PC hard drive as step (1.5), so that if it all goes wrong, I could restore the PC back to that point in time, and therefore recover the old sync profile.
If someone can confirm where step 2 should be that'd be great.
Thanks again,
Mike
PS I seem to have stopped receiving email updates about this thread, even though I got one after at the beginning (after the first reply, but before I replied back - none for the subsequent replies from the rest of you!). Instant email notification is still enabled for this thread. Strange!
Hi again,
Regarding - step 2 - you could leave your existing profile on your PC and delete at the end if you wish. But my expirience is that the Device ID is just a name - you will get the option to select what you want to "Sync" with the device during the "set up partnership" phase.
I sync with two PC's all the time (Home and Work) and due to IT re-installs at work I quite often have to re-install PDA software and have never "lost" data after a re-name.
I think the key is to make sure you select what you want to sync with on the patnership set up - afterall the data on the PC will not have changed.

Chris.
I have been trying to download attachments sent to my gmail account and am having some problems.
A small pdf file (15k) will download fine, i click it, it opens, no problems.
If I download an mp3 file of a couple of meg it downloads then the icon switches to the generic unknown extension icon and nothing happens. I click the file and it says the download cannot be found, would I like to download again.
I checked all over the net, people were saying they delete the mail folders on the memory card, switch and swich back and it works, but no matter what i do, removing and resetting up the account, restarting, redownloading, setting the settings to download entire message with attachments, moving form internal memory to storage and back several times. No luck.
I found that if I go to the attacment folder, rename the file there to .mp3 it will play in media player, so it has downloaded, it's just not getting renamed and moved to the right place.
It's driving me absolutely mental now, has anybody else had any experience with this problem or got a solution?
Anybody know the location of the registry keys to set the attachment save location so I can check this also?
No?
Can anyone atleast tell me if this works for them or not, even if not the actual solution, atleast so I can stop searching for a fix if there isn't one.
Hi guys, I recently reinstalled windows from 7 to 7.5 but I lost all the contacts which I added onto my phone since I was on 7. There was no options that I saw to "save to sim card or save to phone" like most other phones out there so I dont know where they are saved.. I had a brain wave about the fact that the contacts were "linked" with my email account but there is only the emails saved. I am wondering if the numbers are saved somewhere or, each time I have to reinstall I will have to ask fro their numbers every time? Has anyone else had this happen?
Please let me know as I really want to update my rom and radio for better battery life!
Many thanks,
Marc
you cant save contacts to SIM card.. not compatible... phone automatically save contacts to your Live account (and you never loose contacts if you not loose your login data ) this is only if you login to Live account with your phone (and also live activation code entered)
you can access online to your account contact list via
http://mail.live.com/?rru=contacts
ahh yes, i see it now, so then I can export the whole list as a .csv file too. Now I sign in on my phone and can add it to the phone directory? Sorry if its nooby but I cant seem to access anything like that through the dedicated email app? Juat on internet explorer?
Marc
if you have mails in contacts list, you simply use mail app
and again, all is simple... you thinking too much simple: add Live account to phone and all is solved... all your contacts be saved and you not loose it and you use this contacts with phone or computer...
i give you this link http://mail.live.com/?rru=contacts to access it via computer (if you need to change contacts very easy if need it), not with WP7...
pda v8 has this function build-in
