I just bought a Touch Diamond -very nice phone with a couple exceptions.
Touchflo 3d is nice but Im finding it doesnt have much depth - it needs more functions. And the loudspeaker is not very good - not loud, not clear.
Anyways, its my first windows mobile phone and had a couple questions about what WM6.1 can do. Im using Vista btw.
1. Email - Im downloading ALL my email and its fairly big. Can I force it to save only to internal storage?
2. Music - How do you get the album photo to come up while playing through Touchflo music - the picture does come up if i just play in windows media player.
3. Is it possible to add/remove multiple contacts from the People Menu ie Favourite contact
4. Most important - connectivity. Is it possible to access the phone wirelessly from PC via router? The phone connects to the router wirelessly fine and I can use the internet. But what I want to be able to do is either access the internal storage or sync up with outlook without using the usb cable.
5. What kind of BASIC phone functions does it have?
Eg. Call timer during call
Stop it going to that call history page after a call - i want it to go straight back to home.
Theres more functions it seems to be missing....
6. How do you make it so it FULLY shuts down a program when u hit the top right close button? I dont want to have to keep re-hitting the top right button to open task manager and full close it that way.
7. Lastly, is there any secret tips that a newbie wouldnt know about eg. codes to get to secret menus etc?
1. I don't think so, but I don't download email, so somebody who does may be able to help.
2. Strange problem, probably to do with the version of ID3 tags each uses. But again I have no idea how to solve it
3. No idea with no device in hand
4. Microsoft, being twats, reoved sync via Wi-Fi with the upgrade to WM2003. So, sorry mate, no way that I know
5. My dialer on my other PPC has call timer I think, but the diamond's may not, a new dialer with it included may solve the problem.
Other stuff missing?
6. Get a proper x button, like WKTask, or Wisbar, or something similar. Its also probably possible to change the settings to make it close by tapping X. I also think that with the HTC program, you can close by tap and hold, or, from today, click where the x should be, and a menu comes up enabling you to close them individually.
7. Secret codes? Not that I know of.
Hope the small things I have known here do help

Yeah, 6 is definitely something that can be done in the standard Windows Mobile settings (unless they've removed the setting in 6.1, in which case a registry edit might do it).
I guess when the phone has been out for a while, a lot of registry tweaks and utils will show up around here to adress all kinds of small and big issues.
i was gona go for a diamond but look at htc touch pro. everything diamond plus hardware keyboard and memory expansion slot (minus front camera).
Found how to fully close the progam in one go - went to task manager - button - and chose "End Programs by tapping X"
Under this option is "End programs by tapping and holding X" which is the default.
I tried it and it does work but I dont like it. Coz u cant really tell how long to hold it. If u keep holding, the program actually just stays open until u release. And I guess if u release too early it wont fully close.
Anyways - thats not a huge issue - wireless sync is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has anyone found a way to get around it?
Best you can do with WIFI is put the UNC name of your pc into the browser and bring up the shares.
If you want to sync wirelessly, you'll have to do it via bluetooth. You should be able to get a bluetooth dongle for your pc for about 20 bucks though.
OH YEAH!!!!!!!! Going through Opera to browse my PC directory - You little beauty!!!
Now, how do I set up a name for the diamond so I can see it on my PC. Is there a setting you have to enable? I browse for "PCs" and it doesnt find the diamond - just my other PCs
Hello,
I have a few questions.
I searched on the internet for this problem but can't find a bleep.
Since an unknown time i cant open .jpg files anymore by clicking them. It is possible to open them by first opening the Picture application and then open picture.
When I click on a .jpg file it says that there is no application to open the jpg files.
Second question.
Im using WM6.1 Remote Desktop and want to use it in landscape mode. Tried GSEN, this works but i dont want all applications in landscape. I just want WM6.1 RDP in landscape mode. So i tried to edit the config file and add the RDP process and app name, but this doenst work too. Anyone a solution?
Thank you in advance.
Greetings tKd

I had the same problem, but I'm not sure about the way that resolve the problem...
If you long click your picture, it gives you a window with "properties" or "assign a program with" + a check box "always use this program"

When you install GSEN, you can configure the apps who won't turn...

someone else any ideas?
Can't open jpegs
I have the same problem on my FUZE and don't know when it happened....but neither Resco File Explorer or WM File Explorer can find an application to open jpegs....If I got to Picture Viewer or any of the Picture apps in MultiMedia...I can open all jpegs just fine...?
I did a restore from 3 weeks ago, and still have the same thing...?
When I try to associate an application from the dropdow list, there are only a few apps listed (ie Internet Explorer or Windows Media and my Third party software)
Any ideas?

Can't open jpegs
OK, answered my own problem....Went to Browse applications and selected HTC ALBUM and the file association is back on all the Jpegs

Is there any apps for viewing your photos, that are like the iphones. HTCalbum is somewhat slow when you change pics sliding your finger. Also, in the older htcalbums, you could rotate. Anyways, if someone knows a program or can make one, that would be great. Thank you.
do a search for S2V bu A_C in fact i recomend all three of his apps if you want the iphone look
i love resco photo viewer pro.. i've been using it since i got the touch pro, and its great for pictures. the htc album program kinda sucks because its so laggy, and really doesn't have any options besides to view in their version of thumbnails (which is painfully slow), and to send or delete them. resco's program allows you to resize the images, adjust saturation/contrast/brightness/etc, and their thumbnail view is very fast. renaming is easy, as well as moving and copying. its probably the best program i've found to handle multiple pictures at once, because you can check them off and move them to wherever. its very windows feeling though, it doesn't have all the graphic effects of the iphone or anything, but its stable, and it works, and thats mainly what i use it for. part of my job is image resizing and editing off an sd card, and this is one of the programs i use daily, and its one of the main reasons why i don't have to carry a laptop with me anymore.
For strict viewing, adding to contact, email, sms, etc., you really can't go wrong with S2V. I use it on my Fuze more than ANY other app. I also use Resco's app, but it's not free or finger friendly. It is very feature rich however.
I highly recommend S2V. And if you like it, be sure to send A_C a few bucks. Works fantastically with S2U2 as well.

I have been looking around but I just can't seem to find the answer, even looked in the help section in the browser but no luck.
How do you select a bookmark to edit/delete? I can only manage to do this with the top bookmark, If I touch any others they just open and I can't see any option in the menus to move through the bookmarks to select them.
I am guessing the answer is so simple that I just can't see it.
Hi there Root Beer,
If you open any page, and on the menu bar tap the large star to bring up the bookmarks, and if you hold down on the icon to the right of the bookmark u wish to edit/delete it brings up a menu. (The key is to keep your finger on it to bring up the menu)
I hope that this helps.
Marty
Press and hold the bookmark to pop-up a menu.
How to transfer the IE bookmarks to opera ?
Hi, currently I have the Touch HD and the D2. Now I want to transfer the bookmarks from my HD to the D2. In which file are they stored?
Thanks for soon help.
Opera is good only on PC, not PPC.
Check this browser out.

Go into your windows folder, then the opera folder then copy the 'opera6' file to your memory card.
Then put this card in the td2 and copy the file into your windows>opera folder, (replace existing file)

Thanks, worked fine!
When I go to gallery and see the selections for all photos, camera shots, then the various picture folders on my vivid, what is the factor that chooses which picture is the cover thumbnail for that folder? I know for camera shots it's the most recent one, but I can't determine what it is for the others. I'd like to manipulate a dummy photo so that it's always the cover thumbnail in a few of my "other" folders!
I can't find an option to change the top picture. You may have to get another album from the play store.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Another album meaning replacement app for "gallery"?
There must be a method to the way the top picture is chosen, whether it be size, date taken, name? Ideally is like to be able to sequester certain folders from showing up at all in the gallery, accessible only by file explore r!

Have you tried creating a blank '.nomedia' file in that dir? Just a thought...
I've changed the name of some pictures before however it doesn't affect which one is selected for thumbnail view. in root explore, the folder is listed alphabetically but in gallery view it seems to be by date created?..
Is there a way I can edit a jpg file so that it says it was created in say 2005 for example? Hopefully this will allow me to choose which file is the thumbnail

Can you go to the My Pictures/Pictures folder on your PC and find an old picture - one older than the ones in your album(s)? I know I have photos 8-9 years old on my PC.
Using Windows you can edit the "date taken" by right-clicking, properties, Details tab, edit Date Taken field. Apply. OK. See if that works
Every time I take an older picture and copy it into this folder, it changed the date modified field to todays date, which makes it no longer an older picture! I even created a new folder and copied all the pictures over, with the one I wanted as the cover first, but it reverted to the same order it was in before!
On my work laptop with windows seven I'm not able to edit the date fields, I can change some other info on the file but right clicking or double clicking the date doesn't do anything.
So this is not possible to change the picture that shows up as the cover of the folder album!

Try the QuickPic app. It's free I believe. I got it because the HTC Gallery app was displaying my shots in random order, not in the order I took them. See if QuickPic works better.
Looks better! Thanks for the tip. Any way to set it to default over "gallery?"
Like when the camera is open and I click the pictures that have been taken it opens gallery

I don't see a way to change the association between the camera app and the gallery app, both from HTC. You can associate QuickPic with photos. Using a file explorer app (I use Astro), go to a folder containing photos. Long press on one file name. You will be prompted to select from Gallery or Quickpic. Check the default checkbox and then select Quickpic. This may, or may not, help some.
As for date changes on the files when you transfer them, try Dropbox or a similar app. I use it for moving files between my PC and phone. The file dates don't change.
I really miss my Resco Photo Manager from my old Windows Mobile phone. It is much better than any Android apps I have used.
Thanks, I have drop box I'll try that!
any way to enlarge the photos IN Gallery? before the ICS update the gallery was easier to see all the pictures.. but now its smaller and hard to make them out before opening it
