A few issues - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Hiya
Firstly, may I say what a great resource this forum is!! I've learnt a lot and I've only had the XDA for just under 2 months!
SMS storage, is anyone closer to finding out where this is stored? I have managed to locate the messages you send OUT in the windows\messaging folder, though it's only the actual text and doesn't contain any of the timestamped stuff etc. I cannot for the life of me find where the inbox for sms should be. I know others have had similar problems.
Cleartype, I have it enabled and it looks great, but it doesn't seem to appear everywhere. ie the Today screen. I did have a program (I think it might be Pocketblinds) but I found it unstable to the point where I would turn off the pda part, then back on again to find that the custom start menu icon had disappeared. Grrrr. Does anyone know a way to make cleartype effects appear on the today screen? I've tried putting a reg entry in various places of the registry for it but to no avail.
Also, if there is a way to bind together numbers and contact info for incoming SMS messages, presumably the same would apply for outgoing ones. Does anyone know of a program to do with sent items as sms_name by paragon does for inbox entries?
Thanks in advance
Anthony

in the database 'pmailFolders' lookup the desired foldername,
then open that foldername as a database.
these folders have names like 'fldr10019e7', these likely different
on each machine.

This may seem a stupid question, as I say I'm new to the XDA and hope to start writing programs for it soon (I've been a programmer for a while but not in this style)....
how do I open it "as a database"? I've tried going into Databases and selecting it but i cannot drag it to the desktop or open it in file explorer on the phone.
Cheers
Anthony

If you are interested in enabling celartype (any many other enhancements) you should check pocket facelift.

more than 5 "extra"-menu entries!!?

Hi there,
I hope somebody knows: I am looking for a little program (I saw it in the web a long time ago and cannot find it anymore) that allows you to have more than 5 entries (e.g. assign picture, send sms, assign ringtone...) in the "extra"-menu of the contacts. If you install more than 5 programs, the 6th will "dissapear" in the menu but is still there:
HKEY_ LOCAL_ MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PimApps\PimExtensions\Contacts\Addins
The program is able to show more than 5 entries, I think it opens a new window!? Does anybody know where to buy or download for free this program? :?:
Thanks a lot,
Thomas
if you're using ppc2003, you can have more than 5 entries.
if you're still using ppc2002, you can access these add-in option from within agenda fusion or pocket informant contacts.
other contact manager software might work also.
I am using PPC2002 with the original contact"manager" from Micro$oft and tagenda. There is no possibilty to add more than 5 entries. But the program I am looking for, adds a popup entry and gives the possibilty for more enties (maybe as in PPC2003). So thanks for your help, but still I need a hint!

[Q] Sorting "Sent Items" folder in Outlook

While it seems logical to sort the Sent Items folder in Outlook by addressee of the emails I send, when trying to sort it one only sees the following options: Message Type/From/Received/Subject .... googled this issue and the only answer I could find was in MSDN's Outlook Mobile Team Blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/outlook_mobile/archive/2006/07/05/657074.aspx)

QnA: Can I sort e-mails in the sent-items folder by recipient?
Question: I want to know if i can sort the sent items folder by "Sent to" instead of "Sent By" which is obviously myself.. I find it strange that this is not a sort option.
Answer (by Liang Chen, one of our Messaging Dev Leads):
No you can't. With its current design the email list view is optimized with a set of specially handled properties (sender, subject, and time) for better performance and in Sent folder you need recipient instead of sender, which requires some expensive database operation and will slow down performance. This is an unfortunate tradeoff we had to make between performance of more important scenario (inbox folder) and user experience of less important scenario (Sent folder) under current restriction.
</UNQUOTE>​
This answer is quite old (5 July 2006) ... does anybody know if the situation has changed and Outlook Mobile's sent items can now be sorted out by recipient?
TIA
Well, i have this same issue now. The SENT folder only shows my name, which is logical.. I want to know the recepient..
anybody?

[Q] Disappearing contact

Not the end of the world, but I have a contact that keeps disappearing from my favourites on people tab.
It only disappears when ever Active Sync is syncing, though the contact is still listed, just disappears from the tab.
This has now happened on the last 2 or 3 ROMs I've used so that rules out a ROM issue.
Anyone have any ideas?
TIA
I have used search and can't find anyone else with the same issue
Not being funny, but as a senior member I'm sure you know how to start your own thread, so why hijack mine.
the info that tells sense it is a favorite (and Facebook links) is held in the notes field, so you could try setting it as fav, then edit the contact, scroll down to more (brings up the winmo contact screen) and copy out all the code,
example
<HTCData><!-- Please do not modify -->
<Favorite>actionid:CallMobile</Favorite>
<Facebook>id:51xxxx112/friendof:xxxx91731</Facebook>
</HTCData>
and manually put it in the notes field of your contact on the pc.if it solves it, it could be that your sync settings have been altered to update only from pc to phone, not both directions.
None of my contacts have anything like that.
Today they've all behaved themselves and not run off, will keep an eye on it
Normally your contact will have a Note information, like samsamuel mentioned before.
I know if I delete this info on one of my contact's, it will disappearing from my favourites on the people tab.
This info is needed.

[Q] Viber - How are user image names calculated?

Does anyone know this? Viber saves images on the sd card and they seem to have a hash value as name... They even change the name if a new image is downloaded for the same contact...
Actually I looked through the code but I could not find out what they are hashing to get the name...
Does anyone have any idea? They have a database with Viber users and a column image with a hash as well, but it's not the same as the images file name...
Any hint or help is well appreciated...
PS: I have an app (with root) that enables syncing contact pictures with social networks and with social apps. Therefore it would be nice to somehow find out how's pictures are available in the viber folder... at least for root users who can access the databases of viber...
Did you ever figure this out? I'm wrestling with the same issue.

Recover

Hello Everyone!
Due to finding no Ringtones to allot to my new email, and only a lot of files in that location, I stupidly removed the files to see if the ringtones would then appear. They didn’t”! I now seem to have deleted most of my photos in my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active mobile Gallery along with all the recorded data on my S Memo pages. And, probably, many other items that I have not yet discovered as missing!
I have downloaded an App called DiskDigger for photos. It has pulled up over 1,000 photos, some of which are duplicates or more. On wading through them and choosing an awful lot to restore, I am given the following choices where to restore them to - Bluetooth, Email, 3 named emails, Save as, Save to Drive, WhatsApp, WiFi Direct. However, once again I found a problem as I cannot move the number of my selected photos to the apps as there are too many chosen photos. I therefore took the second option and selected a named file.
That done, I found that they had ‘miraculously’ appeared in my Gallery! A further search and selection will, hopefully, repeat that.
I then downloaded an app that supposedly recovers documents named, strangely enough, 'Document Recovery'! It has recovered some documents which are proving a little difficult to open successfully to read. They go to a blank page after the indication that they are - 'Loading' - 'Opening' - then nothing!
I would also seek advice about a way to recover the details previously recorded on the S.Memory pages, if possible, (an app that works like a notebook where text etc can be written and saved.) and how to successfully open the documents recovered by Document Recovery and placed in an automatically named “All Recovered Documents” file.
Many thanks in advance for any advice!
Regards,
Colin.
