Random letters in photo metadata - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi...whenever I take a photo and download it to my laptop, the title and description fields in the metadata already contain random letters. When I then download, edit and catalogue using Adobe Photoshop Elements, I give the photo whatever description and title is appropriate...these show up correctly in the Adobe software but the random letters still show up if opened in other software or if the details tab of file explorer is opened. Has anyone else come across this, and can it be avoided, please.

Browser crashes with a flash animation and a hyperlink

I work with a team of people who create learning content for all the PocketPC devices, and we have hit a problem with the Alpine (in our case the QTek 2020i) which has got us all stumped.
if you go to a web page that has both a flash movie in it, and a normal html-style link to another page, clicking the link forces the browser to shut!
- has anybody else seen this happening?
- does anybody know if there is an upgrade to the browser we could try?
I had a similar problem today.
I wanted to view the "princess" flash animation created by the 2 guys that did South Park (google it if u don't know what I'm talking about).
Anyhow, when I viewed the original html page showing the swf file, I got a message box prompting me to continue with the rest of the page - I assume this is an inbuilt feature when dealing with BIG web pages?
It was difficult to view the animation correctly due to the poor navigation offered within IE so I tried to view the actual .swf file directly.
This caused the browser to crash after a few seconds of "thinking about it".

[REQ] MS Paint / Image resize for Raphael

I'm sure others have come across this...
My carrier's limit on sending MMS is ~300KB. Our 3.2mp pictures are much larger. That and most people I want to send MMS's to don't have a 300 by whatever + resolution screen on their phone.....
So I'm looking for a simple, easy to use, app that will just resize images for me. I know the MMS software in most ROM's will auto-convert them to some sizes, but I'd rather just save the images at that size to begin with... and send that smaller file myself (also good for uploading to ftp servers to share via e-mail to other mobile devices)
I did some browsing, and i saw maybe some versions of HTC Album do resizes... but I'm not really looking to update that yet... most other google searches around 'pocket pc paint' or 'wm6 image resize' end up with themes and the like -- I need an on-phone solution.. I don't want to be tied to a computer to resize an image!
searches:
http://www.google.com/search?q=wm6+...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...ficial&hs=aGH&q=wm6+resize+photos&btnG=Search
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...ficial&hs=7vb&q=ppc+resize+photos&btnG=Search -- came up with some results, but I've never haerd of a lot of these solutions, any feedback?
hmm, did you want the original picture to be 3.2 MP? If not, then just take the picture at a lower resolution?
Other than that, although I have not played around with it, an app called Photogenics may be able to do it. Keep in mind though, it's not freeware.
Resco Photo allows you to downsize photos. You can select what pixel size you want, or type in a percentage. Its does a lot more stuff too, its not free though.
I have AT&T and they limit mms to 600k. Is that your carrier as well?

I like taking high-quality pictures in case I want to share them by e-mail / upload them, or save them for later use as something..
But I also want to resize them for friends when i send it to phones. and at&t requires it to be smaller in size to send via MMS... as another poster mentioned.
Cropping would also be nice... I was mainly looking for a free solution, but If i gotta pay I gotta pay.. I prefer donating to developers here over paying for product from companies though.
The authors of XnView (a freeware ACDSee clone) have recently published a version for PocketPCs and Windows Mobile Smartphones. It works very well on my Touch Pro. Allows retouching, resizing, modifying colorspace, batch conversion to many formats and more.

Photo Resizer
ยป PhotoResizer v1.0 Description
With PhotoResize you can copy and resize JPG images from a folder to another selecting the quality and output size of target image.
This tool is useful when you want to copy your photo from your camera to your PDA and show them at your friends using a PDA as photo album. (As I usally do)
The main problem is that every single image done with your camera (depend wich camera you use) is usually several megabytes and if you simple copy photo from camera in few time you will finish the memory available on your PDA.
With this tool you can reduce the space on each photo resing it to the dimension of your PDA screen (usally 320x240, 320x640, or 640x480). In this manner the dimension of files are drastically reduced and you can show images directly from PDA. During the conversion phase a progress bar will show you the percentage of work, if during conversion will be found an image with dimension less then the output size, that image will be skipped.
Funcionalities:
* Select source folder and destination folder graphically
* Choose target size of images
* Choose quality (default is 75%)
* Choose if you want to see the thumbnail during the process (this option can be time comsuming)

Unrecognized file types. Solution.

I have had this problem several times and although I am sure that most of you know the solution, there might be people who will find this useful. I post it here and not in the general or other sections, because many Xperia owners have asked this.
I do not know what is the reason, but every so often my media files (music, videos, etc.) get either associated with the wrong program, or with no program at all, (picture 1) in this case mp3 files.
When you click on a such a file, you usually get the message "file type not supported", or "cannot be recognized". The other side effect that I have noticed is that when you open a folder containing such files, they tend to be shown literally one by one in a very slow and frustrating process.
There a couple of ways to alter file association in WinMo, but the only one that has worked for me has been "SKTools"
http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html
I have tried some reg tweaks, that didn't work and using Resco File Explorer's "open with" function, but it didn't work either.
Here is what you have to do. Open SKTools and go to the "System Tweaks" category (picture 2). Click on "File Types" and wait 20 seconds for it to load the file types list (picture 3).
You can see that mp3 files are associated with the program "Kinoma Play". Sometimes the association is blank. Either way, you have to click on 'action" and press "edit".
This will open the edit menu (picture 4). Change the association of the file to the desired program, in this case "Pocket Music" (picture 5). Press "ok" and check the new association (picture 6).
You can go back to the folder where your files are stored and behold the new icons (picture 7). Clicking the file will open it with no annoying "file type unsupported" messages.
The same procedure is used for other types of media files: mov, 3gp, mp4, jpg, gif, bmp, etc.
I hoe this was helpful to someone out there.
Cheers .

pdf help

Hi is there any pdf reader for the g tablet that you can mark the text???
RepliGo PDF Reader. You can highlight (if the text is understood as text, depends on how the PDF was made), put sticky notes, and draw freehand. The last option isn't optimal, but once you get used to it, it's reasonably functional. It's not free, but it seems to be the only option out there, and $5 isn't too bad if you're like me and your work really benefits from this functionality.
excelent, it is perfect
Also, the QuickOffice HD that Gojimi ported over from the Adam has a viewer as well as Word, Excel, and Powerpoint.
Looks REALLY good on the gTab!
Thank you but the quick office can't highlight the pdf text, or am i wrong?

You are correct, niether RepliGo or QuickOffice can highlight text in the form you are thinking of. RepliGo can "Select Text" to copy but it can't highlight text as with Adobe Acrobat (for PC's) does when you are using PDF like you would a text book and a highlighter to quickly find vital text for homework and assignments etcc..
I've used ThinkFree, Quick Office, RepliGo, and ezPDF but niether can highlight text and save the highlighted text to the document you are working with.
I've yet to find an apk that can match Adobe Acrobat as far as that function goes.
Tek - no, RepliGo can actually highlight text. And make sticky notes. And do other annotation. And it saves it to the document. I keep all the PDFs I use for my work on my Dropbox; when it syncs the changes I make via RepliGo, I can pull that PDF up on a computer and see the notes - hand written, highlighted, or sticky.
It can't match Adobe, but it does more than the QuickOffice suite does.
[EDIT] I've attached a screenshot of me using Reader to see drawn markups and a sticky note. This was a scan of a document written in 1926, so highlighting wasn't possible (the text is an image, not characters), but still, it demonstrates that the markups were made in RepliGo and are visible via Adobe.

I've seen the error of my ways, I've been browsing the PDF files on my network via Estrongs and simply opening them up from the network. What I did not see was that the files were being cached to a temp folder and opened as read only!
I copied a bunch of PDF files to my GTAB and then from there I was able to edit them (higlight, sticky, etcc) using REpliGo V3.1.2.
I should have realized it will only edit "native" documents.
Thanks for the heads up!

[Q] Excel & Word App?

Does anyone know a good app I can download view and edit Excel or Word files on? I have tried:
OfficeSuite
E-cell xls
Word To Go
I have attached a copy of the Excel file I am trying to manipulate on the G-Tab. I am able to open, view, and edit the file (well sort of edit). If you view the file file via Excel on you computer you will see it has "check boxes" but I am not able to see them on any of the above mentioned apps. Does anyone know of an app that I can do this with?
The form is being created for use in a physicians' clinic, to help avoid the the clutter of paper and eligible writing.
I was not able to upload (size limit) the Word file I want to be able to edit. But this file is filled with "drop down" menus which do not show up when opened on the G Tab.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Dave
That Excel sheet is full of Windows Forms controls. Since those are ActiveX controls I doubt *very* seriously you are going to find any programs on the G Tablet that will allow this file to work correctly. ActiveX, if you aren't familiar with it, is extremely Windows-centric. And at this point, fairly out dated.
