Hello,
is it possible that the Contact photo are saved in another Folder ?
I dont like it when i have the contact pictures between my normal videos and Pictures.
Soory for my bad English
yes, just make a new folder in your memory card and add your contact pictures into that. that should sort it out for you.i'd recommend using resco photo manager to view your pictures, miles better than the in built viewer.let me know if you want it and I'll try and send you it later on today.
okay i have made a new folder in the My Pictures Folder, but it didnt automaticly sort it out.
Or i must make the folder in My Documents ?
heres what I did.I just made a new folder on the card and called it contact pictures,I then manually transfered all the pictures over into the new folder and that sorted it out, no more contact pictures in the photo viewer.let us know how you get on
It works it was my failure , i had create the folder in the picture folder, now it is in the My Documents and its works.
Thanks to all
glad you got your problem fixed.

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to save the existing photos from your contacts back to the phone so they can be viewed?
I've lost the original photos for some of my contacts and only have the copy within the contacts app....
Perhaps there's a folder somewhere with them in?
I think they all reside in the file pim.vol in the root folder (hidden). Not sure if you can get them back though...
[quickfix]Maybe use a screen grabbing app while viewing the contacts?[/quickfix] :wink:

Like your way of thinking!
If u put the photo in your outlook 2003 contact on your pc one's, they will show in your pda after u will sync it.
the WM5 takes all (incl pic's) data from your pc.
so this is my best backup.
I recently setup Activesync to sync files but i really only wanted it to sync a single Word Document file in My Documents on my Vario.
When it syncs it syncs the whole of the My Documents folder, which is crap cos this contains all my camera photos and videos and I dont want that. is there a way to just do files you want.
I managed to delete the files on my PC and it removed them on my Vario!
Also any new files that appear in My Documents on my Vario get automatically synced!
TIA
Doug
That would be difficult. What I suggest would be to move your not-wanting-to-syn files to your storage card or some folder in your root (e.g. not in the My Documents). Yeah, that would cause problems with many of your applications as it will look for My Document first and you would have to go and find your customized folder.
Anyway, you can try this (I didn't try it before). Create a shortcut in your My Documents that point to another folder where you keep all your real files, so that if your app open My Document, it would be easy for you to find that folder. But, still any photo taken by your camera will be still in My Document.
Anyway, there isn't much harm syncing all files. I mean, as long as the files are not changed, the isn't much time consumed in synching them. Better just leave them as they are
UPDATE:
For camera, see this

also posted in the faults section so apologies for double post , just not sure if its me or a genuine glitch ?
Am i being stupid ? A friend sent me an email via hotmail that syncs easily and quickly with my leo. Attatchments download ( they are pictures) and i can open them to view them. But then when i want to save them i cannot see any option too, apart from save screen image. So i do that, then it says saved, but do you think i can find it ? lmao. and i know they are there coz if i try and save them again with same filename it says file already exists. They are not showing in any album, or in 100media folder, and when i do an all album check after saving them again the album count does not go up if you get me ? i have a horrible feeling that i am doing something stupid and someones gonna come on and go ...duuurrrrr. lol
Hi
I am new to the HTC HD2 (Leo) but i am already amazed with its potential, could someone help me with the following.
As i am using this as a work phone as well i get a lot of Excel sheets send, when i download the excel sheet to my storage card it seems to download it as .att rather then .xls
Could someone help me where i can change that download configuration?
Thank you very mcuh

It saves them as xls files whenever I do that.
Can you click the attachment in the email and open it there? If so, save it from within excel that way (bit long winded, but will at least allow you to save them!)
What email are you using for this? I only use hotmail and gmail (not via exchange), so I don't use exchange. It's possible (if relevant) that this may be an exchange issue.
Edit: Sorry - you're using Outlook - that answers my question. I can definitely say it doesn't happen with hotmail, so it may be the outlook client, and it may be the outlook server. I'm sure if this is a client issue then it would have been spotted before now, so someone with relevant experience will be able to advise you accordingly.
Thank you for getting back to me.
Well i open the attachment within outlook and it opens excel , but when i close it and want to open it later on i go to my storage card where i am saving my downloads to but the folder is empty , but when i check on the PC i can see the storage card does have it but as .att and i assume Excel is only can only find/look for .xls and .csv so i wondered where you can change the download settings for file extensions on the HTC HD2

Just to fulfil my curiosity, could you try saving an attachment in Location:Storage Card and Folder:None and be sure that it says Type:.xls (not that you can change that!)
When I do that, I can use file explorer to find the file in the root of my storage card. If you could try that and it doesn't work then there's definitely something funny going on!
ok i have tried the following i have downloaed a attachment and closed it found it saved it on my storage card the phone seems to have created a folder on my storage card inbox\mailattachments and i can see all my downloaded excel sheets saved as .att i renamed one to .xls and now i am able to see it when opening Excel and going to the folder strange .. still no close in knowing why it is saving as .att , maybe once i opened them the first time i have an option to save them as .xls which i doubt
strange problem bit annoying

Very strange problem indeed. You're obviously viewing files in a manner that shows you the extension, so what happens if you just change it to .xls instead of .att ?
yes i could rename them but that just annoying to always have to rename them so that i can view them at a later stage

Yeah, you're right, but it's obviously a problem somewhere. At least there's a solution for now. Maybe there's a user that has had similar issues and found a solution. Have you checked in non-Leo forums? This is a windows issue, rather than a phone-specific issue, so you may get more help there.
I really hope you've already done this, but there's an immediate suggestion from searching here...

Thank you, i have just tried that and its a lot easier to tap&hold and save as rather then having to rename all the docs
I would like it to be saved auto with the .xls extensions but to be honest i am happy with this as well as i can now also save it directly into the folders i need it to be in rather then having to move them .. which was another problem for me
Thank you very much for your help really appriciated

I just got my S8 today. On my s6 I was able to easily add photos to individual contacts. However I cant see how to do this on s8. I have read online about opening the contacts app, selecting edit and press the camera icon. But there is no camera icon. All edit does is allow me to edit the contact name number and email address.
What am I missing here? How do I add the photos on contacts?
You click on particular contact name: you'll see 4 icons with rightmost being details: click on that, big camera is above the name: click on that and you'll have camera on to take picture you can save. I have not figured out how to pick pictures already taken from gallery yet. If you imported contacts from your old phone, older pictures should transfer as well.
I created a folder that has all my Contact picture headshots in it. The only was I got this to work was to copy the actual photos directly into the Gallery folder. You cannot copy the entire folder. At least not for me. When I copied the entire folder over, Gallery did not recognize it. When I copy and pasted all the individual photos, it did not recognize them until I rebooted the phone. At least then it recognized them. I was using Exchange for Outlook. It keeps overwriting the locally attached profile pics or something was causing them from going from large photos to small ones . At the end of the day, I ended up going back and attaching photos on my laptop thru Gmail and then having Gmail automatically sync those with my phone. Make sure you have Gmail selected under Contacts. The only other issue I am trying to solve now is to find a Caller ID program that shows large contact photos on incoming and outgoing calls.
1. Select photo from Gallery
2. From options menu select Set as contact picture
3. From the contacts list choose the contact
4. Crop the photo
5. Press Done

Go to contact, click edit then *click on contact picture. Under the camera mood there are cartoon characters in boxes select the yellow flower with a white background on the buttom left hand side click it. It will take you to your album where you can select whatever picture u want to save as the contact picture. I hope this help I just did it. Wish I can post a video on how to. Bye
