Does anyone know where contact information, more specifically, contact icon/pictures are stored in the system?
Sd card **** itself, but ome of the pictures that were lost were assigned to contacts, the phone is still getting those picture files from some where because they are still being displayed. Id like to recover what I can from the contact info.
Also, on a sidenote. Any suggestions on a good file recovery programs/services would be nice. Lots of memories on that stupid little piece of sd card.

All of a sudden I am unable to attach a file or picture in an email. When I create a new email and select insert and then picture, I am able to view all the pictures, photos I have on either the phone or SD card memeory. I then select one and I am brought back to the email but there is no attachment added. If i then goto Pictures and Videos, and click on a picture and select send nothing happens.
However I am able to send pictures, photos via MMS. Does anyone know why I cant email pictures, files, or photos? I have the default radio and software on my tilt. Thanks.
Anyone?

Simply put there are too many problems with this phone, its not worth to heavily mod it just to be able to use simple features like sending a picture text.
I am already looking for a new treo, this is the worst phone i have ever used in my life.
Once i get my new treo i will smash this HTC with a bat and post on youtube.
I hate this phone with more than a severe passion.

MizzenMast54 - Shut up.
gehcmatt - what ROM are you using?
I can't seem to find a way to set my own photo/avatar. Anyone?

Log into the main account you have setup for your phone and set it there. You can also log into gtalk or gmail and chance the display picture, it'll pull it from there.
I changed the picture, and added my phone number into the details area.
What happens now?
Thanks JCopernicus, I did that and nothing happens even after sync. My display picture is still empty
Didn't work for me either...even added myself in my contacts
Click on your gray image and click on the second icon. Hit the menu button, then edit contact, then change the image.
Bet your phone number reports as 'Unknown' under the settings!
You need to program then number into your SIM before you can sort out the 'Me' picture.
EDIT: see here.
When I click the grey image it does not do anything.
That's because the phone doesn't know your own number, you have to program your SIM in another handset.
I'm not on Frodo but anyhow... Mine was pulled from my Facebook account, didn't ask it to but it did anyhow.

Does your Facebook profile contain your phone number? If so then it just matched it to the number on the SIM would be my guess.

I can't add my number using my phone. I have to take the sim card out and program the sim card to know its own number using another handset?
Yeah annoyingly enough.
Even then programming my own SIM in my spare WM phone has failed me, I need to find another one to try.
I just posted a solution using a Vio FoneMate SIM card reader that can be had for next to nothing and using DeKart Sim Softare Shareware.
Hi
I just deleted by accident a whole thread of text messages.
I know I can't recover the text messages as a nice thread back on my phone.
What I am trying to do however is to access *all* of the internal memory.
Make some sort of raw dump of the whole internal memory (where text messages are stored as well) and browse it with a hex editor in the hope of finding pieces of my text messages with my gf.
Is it possible ? are there better solutions ?
Thanks
I have no idea if this is possible or not, but if you value your text messages so much, you should seriously consider using an app such as SMS Backup to backup all your messages to gmail automatically, like I do.
I am aware I had to back up and how to do it... but I just wanted to know how I could access *all* of the internal drive of my phone even the supposed 'free' space... ?
Picture of " me" at messages etc
Does anyone know how to get rid of that grey square? why can I not customise myself?
a google search gave me a strange solution but it should be easier
Thx

It's taking the picture from your Google account. So you can either change it there or create a new contact with your info (phone, email, etc) and assign whatever photo you want to it.
I have a google picture but that doesn't show. I also tried creating a me contact but that does not work

The answer was already posted.
Create a new contact for your self with your phone number in it. Set your picture.
Once youve made a contact with your number and picture, it doesnt automatically create a picture for you in 'me'.
What I had to do was press on the grey 'me' icon in messaging, and then press on the contact info. Then press menu and edit contact, then press menu again and 'join' with the contact with your name and photo.
If the phone number reported by your SIM matches a contact for yourself with a picture, that should mean your picture ends up in the grey square.
Only problem is, if you have an oddball provider like Mobilicity Canada who doesn't program their SIM cards properly, you may have "unknown" as the phone number reported by your SIM, and any attempt to change that number on the SIM will fail.
Well I don't know what you guys are doing but I can't create a picture. I tried making a contact with my name and with the name me it all doesn't work foot me.
Oh well happy new year

You need to put your sim card in an "old" phone and save your number manually in the simcard, then put it back in nexus, and make a contact.

The OP should specify which provider they are using. Some providers write-protect their SIM cards so that you can't save your number on it.
The old phone method is what I found on google. It sound retarded and I don't have an old phone
But what's funny is that one says old phone and the other says I can just add a contact.
The latter doesn't work for me. I wonder how it does for them.

Just check-out the phone number in settings/status and create contact with that number. Android will recognize it.
For example: In settings i have "My phone number"
+82-109-xxx-xxxx
So i created contact with number (Didnt add "+82" because its a country code) 109-xxx-xxxx, give it my name and my photo and it worked.

It doesn't work because you need to do BOTH. You need to add your number to the sim card and add yourself as a contact.
Been lurking around awhile reading up but stuck on a couple of things. Im running
Cezar's Continuum SE and everything work except for..
1. my contact pic is not showing in my Texts(Contact are store on sim) Would storing all the contact on SD solve this? How do you copy all your contact? Where do i need to put into?
2. How do you store Multiple number on one Contact?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Anyone? still looking.
You need to either use google for your contacts or copy them from your sim to phone. Go into contacts, menu, more, import from sim....or something like that. Some of the contact apps have import selection right in the menu screen instead.
Thank you!!
