unable to copy

i clicked a few photos and saved them on memory card. when i try to copy them using the explorer in active sync onto my computer, i am unable to do so. a prompt does appear showing files being copied from 100MEDIA to desktop computer, but they dont get copied. or are they being coped to some other location??

If you did a drag-n-drop, they'll end up wherever you dragged them to. I do that all the time and that's how it works.

the same thing happens even if i drag n drop
makes no difference

what happens if you drag & drop to the PC desktop?

it shows the converting and copying pop up
but nothing actually gets copied

Activesync is sooo slow anyway. Just pop the MicroSD card into a reader. This will save you a ton of time.

or u can just use card export or wm5torage
these above programmes will allow u to use ur pda as USB Flash Memory
run a search to find them

Hmmm... it is supposed to work, and it does for my Tilt with no problems at all.
Have you tried plugging into a different computer and hitting cancel when it asks to set up a partnership? Then, click the explore button in the ActiveSync window and try to copy the pics.
At least, this would let you know if it is a problem on the phone or the computer side of things.

[Q] Need help with some Basic customisation. Please Please

Hi there. I have had my Nexus One for a week now, and so far im finding it ok - I havent really used it much though. Anyway, I have a few basic questions which are really confusing me, but I know could be simply answered by all you Pro's
Anyway, here is what I want to be able to do. What I want to do is be able to make/select my own Icons to open up applications or folders..
1: Have an Icon/picture of a game controller (or something which symbolises gaming) Then when you click on the Icon it opens a folder full of my games.
2: Have an Icon of something which symbolises Pictures. When you click on the Icon it will open up my gallery.
I Currently have Desktop Visualizer. I know with that you can select a picture and then select what you want to open with that. But I dont know how to make it so that it opens a folder when clicking not an application??
Do I need a different application? Also, Do I download the pictures/Icons on my PC then put them over to my SD Card, or just get them straight on my phone?
Last question, If I want to combine two images (Lets say for example two different types of controllers) into the one image, What software on my pc/application on my phone would I need?
Sorry if that doesnt make sense, its as english as I can make it. All help is greatly appreciated

Get Bettercut or FolderOrganizer. Look for them in the market. They will allow you to customize your app's icons and shortcuts. You should read up on how to use it, it's pretty simple so I'm not going to write it here.
The best way is to download and install "icon Packs" apk's (there are so many on here and on the markets, BIG THANKS TO THE MANY CREATIVE PEOPLE OUT THERE.). It works very well with the above apps.
to download pictures/icons on your pc to the sdcard:
1. download ASTRO file manager (free)
2. connect your phone to pc via usb, then turn on connection (make sure you have usb debugging turned on)
3. once you are connected, then your sd card becomes a "removable storage drive" and you can just copy & paste any files from your pc to the card like you would if you had an external drive.
I don't know if you want to use your phone to combine images or pictures. it will be pretty hard with the controls. i would say do it on your pc and then just transfer it over to the phone.

Thank you Thank you Thank you. Using Folder Organiser now and is exactly what I wanted. Thanks heaps for everything

[Q] Broken display (touch sensitive sensors), Any way to get back my data from phone?

I have an HTC touch diamond, and my display is broken (phone is working, and screen also, but it cant sense/ "read" any touch). So i cant calibrate the screen, and because of that i cant do anything, but i really like to get my personal data (contacts, etc. ) from my phone. Are there any solutions to this problem? any software or some way to get back my data via pc?

Problem solved
I finally manage to solve the problem.
In case if somone else face the same situation i make a lil summary of what i did.
I always used a PIMbackup to backup my personal data (contacts, messages), but i use the binary backup, what is set by default and that's why i just cant extract the pib file from my phone (because in binary mode there are just a lot of NUL and other crap when u extract it- it makes a pbc file, and when u open it with notepad++/excel u cant get anything what makes sense)
So..
I connected my phone with a pc via activesync, and copied the last backup (.pib) file to my pc. <
then downloaded and installed Microsoft Device Emulator 3 from -download.microsoft.com/download/8/7/c/87c1f761-6deb-4cf4-90e5-65363f7bb7da/vs_emulator.exe
And then downloaded and installed windows mobile 6 professional images from- download.microsoft.com/download/0/1/2/012bfbba-9fe5-4e68-86c9-d434446d97dd/0409/Windows%20Mobile%206%20Professional%20Images%20(USA).msi[/url]
I dont know why, but u have to re-run Windows Mobile 6 Professional Images (USA).msi again and click repair. (at first time when u install it, it somehow skip some files or smth). And u may also get some visual studio error, but click ok.
Next, click Start -> Programs -> Windows Mobile 6 SDK -> Stand Alone Emulator Images -> USB English -> Professional
Then u can use wm in ur pc like a virtual machine. Then i just set the storage card location in phone to my pc-s Desktop. Downloaded PIM backup to my pc and open it with emulator , then select my pib file and restore it to my virtual windows mobile device. And then i was managed to view my contacs, but i make a new backup with emulator, but at this time i un-checked the binary backup box and set the backuplocation to storage card (what was my pc-s desktop).
Now when i have a new .pib file in my deskopt (without binary mode) i extract it with rar and get a .csc file, what u can open with notepad or excel, i profer notpad and check a word wrap. It's still a lot of crap, but u can find ur contacts and numbers.
And if u know some c/c++ u can make some lil program to get rid of that other crap u dont want in that file.
Maybe it's not the best and the easiest way to get back ur contacts, but thats the only way i was able to do that.

Another solution
10n days ago I've had problems with my phone so I detached the display to understand if the problem is in it. Well it wasn't but I had to work with the phone with no display.

Another solution
10n days ago I've had problems with my phone so I detached the display to understand if the problem is in it. Well it wasn't but I had to work with the phone with no display.
And here is how I did it.
1. Find with Google and install "MotionApps mDesktop" on your PC.
2. Connect your phone to the PC with ActiveSync.
2.1 When it ask how to connect your phone with ActiveSync, USB disk if you don't do anything your phone automatically connects with ActiveSync.
3. Start mDesktop and click connect in the upper right corner if it doesn't connect automatically.
4. Once connected on left side there are tabs- SMS,Contacts,Screen and others-whatever you want to see.
5. Click on the "Screen" tab and you will see your phone screen.
6. Click on that screen with your mouse to do what ever you want to do - you have complete control over your phone.
That's it.
I hope this info is useful.

actually i'm not so sure does it work what u said, bcuz i used MyMobiler with what i should also controll my device screen via pc, but it doesn't work.
I think that maybe it works if phone is fully set up, i mean that my screen isn't calibrated. Maybe that was the problem why i cant use remote desktop, maybe not. Dunno..

Just to be sure I just tried it- you have to be able to calibrate your phone from your phone. I guess that it will be no problem if the touch screen is ok even if the lcd is not.

Can you help me pls. So my screen in broken, both touck and lcd so i can't do the alignment. I have win7 on my pc so i've tried both ways but none of them it's working.

[Q] Htc Hd7 as a USB drive.... Now What?

I managed to follow the instructions found at knowyourcell.com about turning your HD7 into a USB drive... It will open and read as a drive, but I can't transfer or read anything... Help would be appreciated. I am a noob so please take it easy on me.... What now? How can I open it up?
Instructions:
1. Open Windows Registry Editor by typing regedit in your start menu
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB
3. Perform a search for ZuneDriver
1. The search should yield a result similar to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\VID_045E&PID_04EC&MI_00\6&27ffd631&0&0000\Device Parameters\WUDF
4. Click up one level to the Device Parameters key
5. Change ShowInShell from 0 to 1
6. Change PortableDeviceNameSpaceExcludeFromShell from 1 to 0
7. Change EnableLegacySupport from 0 to 1
8. Change EnableDefaultAutoPlaySupport

Thats what i saw in my Explorer.
Tried to cpy a mp3 file into Music, that did not work.
After a restart of hd7 i came only to the level Storage - no sub folders are visable any more now.
And even with my first attempt i had now folder for movies. May be as i do not have any movie in devices storage?

Now everything works fine.
It did'nt work, as there was a filtransfer by zune on his way to the phone. And even killing zune on pc blocked the storage card.
-So edit the registry as mentioned above
-connect your hd7 via usb to pc
-zune starts now
-kill all zune transfer processes
-kill zune
-go to your windows explorer
-you can copy and past media files now.
unfortunaly the office hub is not visable by this procedure.
But i think we are not far away do find out in very near future.

nice! thanks for this. it works.

Sweet!! Got it to work!! Thanks for the help HUMS... Now what? Is there any way to mod up a Ringtone folder? I tried putting in a WMA ringtone and added the folder but no dice... Any suggestions?

great. it works... thanx!

sorry m8 - no idea.
For the moment only copy and paste available for media data.
As every program has its own hub.

Hi all, I'm getting a little frustrated with my HTC HD7. I installed Zune, but it wouldn't recognize my phone (it keeps saying "connect device") and I changed the registry as mentioned above also but whenever I plug the phone in, nothing happens and it changed all the registry values back to what it was before. Also the computer keeps failing to install the phone. Anyone with any helpful info help please? thanks.
-on a side note, i'm running windows vista

have you checked your USB cable or your USB port on PC?

hums said:

Yes I have; I have 6 USB ports and tried all of them. My wife's iphone and my HTC HD2 connects perfectly to the computer. When I plug in the HD7 however, it takes a charge, and windows will try to install it, then says "installation failed" and thats it. I wonder if its problem with vista, with everyone that is successful at connecting their devices, anyone on vista?

What is the point to copy media files to your phone via rather complicated way if you can do it simply by the Zune?

Not that simple

Sorry but really is not that simple with zune or may be we the users can not understand how to copy folders with zune so can you tell us how simple it is .

OK. Lets split it to two issues:
1. you want to copy media files (Music, video, photos) to and from your phone
Use mouse and drag and drop what you want to sync with your phone. Its so simple.
2. you want to copy any other types of files to and from your phone
Its pointless, because files will NOT be vissible to WP7 and if you want to move files from A to B, than use what is more appropriate and designed for this purpose, like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive#Uses

I wanted to try this method because zune was in no way connecting to my hd7. I found the problem though. its my operating system. i plugged it into my laptop running windows 7 and it connected perfectly.

Did the required registry edits but unable to view any folders inside the Storage device on the computer, both computer & zune detects the phone though. Need to transfer a .cab file for installation of Satguide.

Would be great, except for the fact that wp7 doesn't use .cab files, only .xap files.

[Q] Connecting phone to PC, treat as proper storage drive.

This one has puzzled me for quite some time.
When connecting my One or most android phones to my PC, it will appear as a drive but it NEVER works like an SD card or USB stick would.
Here is a list of things which really frustrate me about this:
You can't drag'n'drop from iTunes (or another audio programme) or WinRar to the drive, it won't have none of it. Instead you have to copy/extract the file to another location, say desktop and then move it to your desired folder on the phone.
Creating a folder on the phone using Windows causes issues. I create a new folder, it asks for a name, I name it and hit enter and then it freezes. For about 2/3 minutes it does nothing and then bam, new folder.
You can't create folder shortcuts. Example, I have podcasts I place in the same directory on the phone, instead of allowing me to create a shortcut or link to the folder, I have to navigate to the folder each time. It's a ball ache.
When you have a usb stick and you copy the address it will look like this, F:\HTC One\Internal storage\backups. When you connect an android phone it looks like this, This PC\HTC One\Internal storage\backups. Obviously pasting this address into a programme for it to use doesn't work as it doesn't recognise This PC.
Everytime I copy certain files to the phone, like m4a, Windows will ALWAYS ask if I want to convert it first. No thanks, leave it. But it asks everytime. If it treated it like a proper drive, this wouldn't happen.
I guess it is treating the phone as a camera or something, but really? It's really irritates me when the limitations on this crop up and leave me furious.
So finally, the question, is there any way which I can do the following:
Every time I connect my phone it will treat it like a proper drive, so I can drag and drop from iTunes etc and create shortcuts which remain when the device is removed and re-inserted.
If it can't ever happen, can someone explain to me why not?
Sorry for the wall of text, been on my mind for a while and annoying me for much longer.

Guess I am the only one with this issue then.

Unfortunately you can't mount it as a drive, it can only be accessed via MTP protocol; so you need to think of it as camera/mp3 player/etc.
But about these questions:

I don't know about iTunes, but Windows Media Player recognizes MTP (and therefore the phone), and you can sync music, pictures, and videos... I would assume iTunes should recognize MTP devices too.
WinRar to the drive, it won't have none of it. Instead you have to copy/extract the file to another location, say desktop and then move it to your desired folder on the phone.

Any program that doesn't know about MTP has that problem, no workaround

Happens to me too, but since I don't copy much stuff to the phone, I don't care. But I'm sure there's some kind of setting (probably in the windows registry) to disable that. Try searching a bit, maybe you'll find it.
