Today image...

Thought I'd share this jpg image that i've been using on all my previous pocketpcs and now Jasjar...I've been thru quite a few and think this one's pretty cool. It works on landscape also. I was unable to create a proper WM2005 theme from it but to have it as the today background image you need to copy it to your device/storage card then goto Pictures & Videos application and select "Set as Today Background" under the menu option.

sorry u need to click on the "click for larger image" box to see it

i like that, gonna pinch it for myself, hope ya dont mind

lol no prob

Low-quality images in the TouchFlo People tab?

I've loaded some photos onto specific contacts so they show up in the TouchFlo People tab as speed dial links. The photos look crap when they're shown in the flickable list. I've tried all resolutions (from large to small). One photo looks fine (no idea why) but others look like really heavily compressed jpegs.
Photo slides in the Photos tab look just as bad. The original ones loaded onto the machine looked fine but whatever resolution I try for my own images they look heavily compressed and pixellated. They're all jpegs, just like the originals.
Can anybody help please?

Just recently got the HD Touch myself coming off of the Pro Dual and yea, had the same "issue". Basically had to re-do my photos for contacts; ended up doing 500x500 saved as pngs...
Hope that helps!

Thanks for that. I'll try making some pngs and see if it helps.

Well png images for the People tab has certainly improved things. Thank you for that tip. They also look great in the Photos tab. I guess TouchFlo doesn't know how to optimise png images.
But what about the 'Photos' tab? My albums are full of jpegs and I don't want to have to reproduce them as pngs just for the bloody TouchFlo screen. Why do the original photos look so much better?
There are people in this forum complaining about the sharpness of the TouchFlo background image, but am I the only one whinging about these album pics? Grrr...

Try using photo album, then choose the photo and assign to contact.

i used the people tab and from there added the people and then choose menu --> change picture. looks a lot better and no resizing pictures needed.

I've tried all ways and the png method is the only thing that made a difference.

I had the same prob....You need to add the photo from the people tab using the menu button, they look fine if you do it this way.

I found the way that gave the best quality by far was to add them via the Favourite People tab as a 256 x 256 JPG. A bit of a pain in the arse to do but at least you only have to do it once.

calvin55 is right - I had the same problem and then moved good pictures into "My Pictures" folder and then from the photo album used the "assign to contact" option.
Big improvement !

OK, I've taken a photo of the screen to show you what I mean about the poor quality images in the Photo tab. Hopefully it's clear what's wrong with the preview image...

I confirm that the album method works fine and fix this problem.
Create thumbnails of your choice and move them all to My Pictures folder.
Then open Album, choose an image, and 'Save To Contact'. works great.

Can I remind all people to read the tips & tricks part of the wiki
It already has the solution to your problem amongst other tips/tweaks you may all like
Hi Res Contact Photos
Assign contact photos on your SD card directly to specific contacts for hi-res thumbnails. If you assign contact photos in Outlook and then sync, the contact photos on your phone will be low-res.
All contact photos should be saved to My Pictures folder on your Storage card

Normally, People will go to
>>menu>>change picture>>name.jpeg
But that will give u low resolution.
Try using this method, it eliminates the trouble to resize or change format.
>>file explorer>>[open pic file]>>menu>>save to contact>>select a contact
and this will solve your problem

No Pictures on opera

how come when i go into www.seriouswheels.com and click on any car picture. i click on the link that makes it larger for instance this picture:
http://seriouswheels.com/2009/def/2...gier-Limited-Edition-Rear-Wheel-1920x1440.htm
the enlarged picture does not show up on opera. why is this. i want to see this picture and save it. as i cannot see the picture i cannot save it. please help.
thank you

I've got the same problem that some larger images do not show.

I got the same issue. I resolved it by adjusting the value of Browser Buffer Width in opera.ini . I used a width of 1650, but if the picture on the page you want to see has a higher width you will need to increase it more.

Disregard my previous post, it doesn't help in any way. I thought it does, but after some more testing I found that it doesn't. The only partial solution is soft-reseting your device to clear allocated memory for opera. Once you fill it again, you'll have to restart it all over again to see the images in opera. Though it seems to store the images in the cache folder, even if opera doesn't display them, so you can figure out by size and date which one it is, rename it with the correct extension and voila. Sure it's not confortable, but it saves you from restarting the device. I also tried fiddling with the cache settings, but none of them seems to increase the amount of allocated memory for opera mobile. And I also didn' find any way to clear the memory without restarting. Maybe someone can help more.

uncropped thumbnails for cropped images!!

Hi!
I found something weird when I was surfing my images by htc albums … I had faced to this problem, bug, or whatever you call in my computer’s win7 before, but in my HD2 that is really huge! … the problem is that image thumbnails are not updated, means if you have a cropped or edited image, you will see the thumbnail as the original image! … I cannot give you a screenshot of that from my ppc cause the images are something private, a friend sent them to me, and I’ve not checked this problem for other images but I can give you the screenshot (attachment, it is not mine, i have found it as an example) which shows the problem in windows7 pc just to know what I mean!
But as I said, this problem in htc albums is more obvious. Cause I could see the thumbnails showing the original images which for I was not able to see those thumbnails even in win7 pc … in fact I thought they are ok cause they were ok in pc (thumbnail and image were matching each other) but as I brought them in htc album, found out they were cropped!
you can check it if you have some pics which are cropped or edited … put them in a folder in your ppc … go to htc albums, now you can see the thumbnails differ from the original images … to see more original images; click on one of them, try to quickly go to the next images … it will take fraction of a second to load the images so it shows temporarily the thumbnail (which has lower resolution), quickly tap and hold the screen to stop loading image!!! Now you can watch the thumbnail how long you want … holding the screen try to go to the next images (drag the image to the right or left in landscape and up or down in portrait … for a moment release ur finger and quickly tap and hold the other side of the screen by another finger, now you can drag the next thumbnail to the center of the screen without loading) and watch all the cropped or edited images in original type, one by one!
This can be annoying, and for someone like me may be useful!
I wanted to know, how can I have those thumbnail freely?? I mean without trying to watch them like that! I want the thumbnails separately! Any idea?
Sorry if I have not chosen the right place to post my thread!
Thanks for attention!

I can see two causes.
HTC album can have problems with refreshing thumbnails. If the file has same name as some picture which was in the same folder, there could be a problem.
The other cause could be that JPG can have thumbnail inside. Some album software can use this thumbnail, instead of creating it's own. As HTCAlbum is pretty fast in displaying thumbnails, I guess it is the case.
Then it is problem of the editing software. It cropped the image, but left the old thumbnail. Try to safe the image to BMP and then open the BMP and save it to JPG again .. that should remove the inlined thumbnail no matter what.

thanks for reply!
the images have been cropped by windows xp photo viewer, the crop tool!and have been edited by windows xp paint! i have searched for this problem and found out the other programs like windows7 live photo gallery will cause to this problem!
i said i dont really want to solve this problem, i wanna have these thumbnails separately! ... don't you know where htcalbum saves the thumbnails?? cause windows7 (pc) explorer shows some of the thumbnails (original image) but htcalbum shows almost all the thumbnails in original type!!and even in higher resolution in comparison to pc thumbnails!
in computer, i have tried to refresh the windows thumbnails cache to update them but no use!
anyway, i want to find where those thumbnails are saved in winmo!

seems no one can help!

[Q] How to use my own image as a wallpaper?

I want to use my own image as the wallpaper, wheres the option? Where do I put the image?

Long press the home page anywhere there isnt a shortcut icon,it will give you an option for wallpaper.
Then select gallery and it shows all the images gallery auto detects,I put mine in downloads but image folder would work as well.

Ah thanks. I knew how to change it, just assumed I needed to tell it where the images were. Not actually transferred any yet.

You can put the images anywhere in the /sdcard folder. The gallery app should automatically find the image. I usually just end up making a folder called "Wallpapers" and put all my wallpaper images there.

Stop... MUFFIN TIME!!!

As a Nexus 7 user you have a Google account, just upload your images to your picasa page. Then when you open your gallery you will see them there as its linked to that space.

You don't have to have a google account to use a nexus, even a stock one. I personally don't agree with googles data collection and retention policies, so I have a firewall blocking most of the google apps I use (they still work, just can't phone home) and I don't use picassa. If I did though, uploading it to there only to download it again onto my tablet seems a bit redundant when I can just transfer it instantly via usb and tweak it on the fly. I appreciate the suggestion though.
