[Q] can't open certain pdf docs on my tab - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I put some pdf docs to my tablet. I tried to open them, but some of them couldn't be opened - as it said. I have tried out almost all the pdf readers, none could open those files. Oh, and before asking, yes, I can open all of them on the computer.
It seems like the tablet just doesn't recognize these files. There are Chinese letters in the files' names, it doesn't know the sizes either... etc.
Why is it? What do you think? Most of the ones that cannot be open has photos in them. Books, I mean. Books that have been photocopied and put to a pdf file. So I can't mark words like in a normal pdf ebook.
Hmm, I hope we'll find out what's wrong...and how can be solved.
Thanks!

hohooo, I have just found out how can I manage to open any file. I had to rename all the files, changing all the Hungarian titles...and now the device recognizes them.
Then my question is: How could I make the device to be able to read/open the files having Hungarian names? Should I change the whole language of the device?

Save CABs from MarketPlace...

Hello all,
I have found WORKING little app to save CABs from MarketPlace. You can download the app here:
http://blog.idlezone.org/post/2010/01/11/Windows-Mobile-MarketPlace-:-choose-where-to-install
(use fixed version posted in the comments of the article: http://blog.idlezone.org/public/DarkApps/DarkCABCatcherInstaller_quickfix.CAB)
Awsome, thanks for posting ! =d
Thank you So So So Much
Will
Works it also for paid apps?
doesnt work for me.
Awsome, How do you work this thing.
When I run DarkCABCatcher, I have set fom folder to \.\Application Data\Volatile to \.\My Documents.
The DarkCABCatcher application shows the following:
MKP5C5036.cab OK!
MKP5C5036.cab installed.
MKP5C5036.cab started.
MKP5C5036.cab copy Ok.
When I look in my \.\My Documents folder there is no .cab file collected.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Richard
Thanks !
I never used MarketPlace yet, but just in case, I'll keep that trick handy and try it.
I don't understand their position on "piracy", since I generally only use free software...
When it's not free, I buy the licenses, but since I'm flashing a lot these months, I really doubt MarketPlace would recognize my device next time I log on, so this trick may be unvaluable... Just to keep access to what I had legally bought.
Thanks for this, but unfortunately on cooked WM6.5 portuguese ROM it doesn't work. I confirmed that I have NetFW3.5 installed so I don't know what's wrong:
What a pity - don´t work at all on T-Mobile Vario V (HTC TouchPro2) with Windows Mobile 6.5.
Sometimes it write the cab is copied - but can´t find it in the destination folder.
Sometimes it just don´t show anything.

Cool app, didn't work
The critical thing this app shows is where the temporary CAB files are downloaded when installing from the Marketplace app.
Just open this folder in Windows Explorer while the phone is connected to your device. You have to turn on "view hidden and system folders" to see the folder on your phone.
Wait and watch the folder during the install. It will create a CAB file, which will get an icon as soon as the file is finished writing to the device. Quickly copy the file off the phone onto your computer.
(I have installed z-zip and associated CAB files with the program, which is why I get a nice icon as soon as the download has finished.)

(Q) How ro set specific search folder for e-mail attachments

Dear community !
After an extensive search and playing around with the registry I have to admit I didn´t find a solution to my sepcific problem:
I am on Stock ROM 1.66/1921/WM 6.5
My problem:
When I wish to attach a photo/pdf/doc to my email the popup screen starts to screen my entire 32 GB mSD for files immediately without giving me the chance to select a folder FIRST BEFORE search starts.
Of course this now takes always some 5-8 minutes until the entire mSD card is scanned and ONLY THEN I can choose the MY Documents folder on the mSD
Does anyone know a tweak to make the popup WAIT UNTIL I choose a specific folder to scan ?
Might the tweak be in the registry, in an XML-file or somewhere else ?
(Or am I so stupid not find the answer which might have been given already on this ? )
EDIT: e.g. for album there is tweak to exclude certain folders or include only certain folders but nothing comparable for e-mail
BUMP .............

[Q] Can't Find Downloads...

This may be the wrong place to post this but here goes anyway. I have downloaded music and pictures, from my computer onto my Streak 5 but I can't find them. I find some of the pictures but the music is not anywhere on the phone, that I can find. What am I doing wrong? Thanx, in advance, for the help. P.S. what is the latest software version that the Streak 5 will run and how do I apply it? I am running 2.2.1 and I am very ' Technology Challenged '. Thanx again...
Where did you put them on your sdcard?
It should be:
<sdcard>\music
<sdcard>\video
OR
<sdcard>\media\video (or something)
It depends on your player, the built in music app and gallery app will search the entire sdcard, but it checks those listed places first.
are there any files named ".nomedia"? If there is, android will skip any folders with that file in it during it's checking.

Thank you for the reply and help, but it still didn't work. When I try to download, it tells me that these files already exist but I can't fine them. Is there a special way to download and apply these? If so, would you mind explaining. I just connected my Streak to my PC with the data cable and downloaded. Evidently I did it wrong... I see nothing on my Streak that looks like the info that you sent me. Sorry to be so much trouble. Thanx, Barry.
What method did you use to "download" them? Going from your PC to your Streak should be more of a copy operation as opposed to a download.
Are you using an app to facilitate moving the files? If so, which one?
Marvin02, I guess I copied from PC file to ' removable disk ', instead of downloading, like you said. I am not using an app, just straight copy from PC. Thanx...

Opening Zinio PDFs

I was digging around in Zinio app folder on my tablet and it appears that each page of a magazine is stored as a PDF. When I try to open it, it says it's password protected. Has anyone taken a look at this? Is the password floating around or is there a way to open the file without the password?
Thanks!

Zinio PDF files
Hello there. Look into the same folder where those PDFs are downloaded. There you will find the same exact files but in JPEG format and they will open freely with any image viewer
Sorry but they are just thumbnails - not large enough to read...
It seems that each magazine's PDFs are encrypted using a different password, although the PDFs for the same magazine all use the same password. Two such passwords I recovered are ca2f3a202e73a5588510be105454d8f3 and f51daacd3e62829f0088f387bf5b311d. What I basically did was make a dump of the Zinio process's memory using gdb, run "strings" on it, then feed it into John the Ripper (jumbo) to crack the password. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how this password is generated - it must be stored/accessible somewhere locally, as you can read magazines you've already downloaded without an internet connection. However, the string only appeared once in memory, and it did not appear in plaintext in any of the other stored files, leading me to believe it is probably generated by the app at runtime somehow. MD5 of something maybe?
My device is running jailbroken iOS, so you all will have to figure out how to dump the process's memory for yourselves, but after I tarred and scp'd everything off my device:
Code:
pdf2john page0.pdf > crackme
strings memdumps.tar | tr -d ' ' | john --stdin crackme
then you can mass-decrypt and merge all the PDFs with something like this (replace 200 with the last-numbered file in the directory, I do this because simply doing *.pdf would merge the pages in the wrong order.):
Code:
mkdir decrypted
for i in *.pdf; do qpdf --decrypt --password=de4dbeeflongpasswordhere "$i" decrypted/"$i"; done
cd decrypted
pdfunite page{0..200}.pdf allpages.pdf
Hi, I have jailbroken IOS also but IOS 14.8. Is dumping the application heap what is needed to get the app's memory? I would be looking for ideas how to do this as I can't find gdb for 14.8?
thank you

link to file on Android from Excel

Hi all!
I am very curious if anyone here can give me a push in the right direction...
Let me start by saying that i have made an excel sheet in windows for the purpose of administring my mail. I scan my mail and name it in de sheet accordingly. F.e.: filename 2018-02-015.jpg is in excel as follows:
column A: 2018-02-015. Column B "jpg". In that way i can numer the files continuesly, but can select different filetypes (f.e.: pfd, msg, docx etc...) along the way. Now....
I use a formula to calculate the complete filepath so i can click in the cel to open the file. In windows this looks als follows:
=HYPERLINK(TEKST.SAMENVOEGEN("C:\Data\CloudStation\Post\gescande stukken\Inkomend\2018";A5;".";B5); "doc")
I use a duch version of excel... sorry... "tekst.samenvoegen" is probably "concatenate". Now... if the file i link to exists in the location mentioned in the formula, windows opens it flawless.
You might have noticed the term cloudstation in the path. That's because my goal is to sync with my mobile. That's the part that works already. But since i do not have the same paths on my Phone as i have in windows. I had to create another comlumn for the sake of opening files on android. At the moment i can open the sheet on android, look up the line i need and then navigate manually through the filesystem to open it. But it would be really neat if i could (just like in windows) click on the file in excel en open it that way.
What i tried is the following:
=HYPERLINK(TEKST.SAMENVOEGEN("/storage/0123-4567/Android/data/com.synology.dscloud/files/Data/Post/gescande stukken/Inkomend/2018/";A5;".";B5); "and")
since the name of the SD card seems to be 0123-4567 and the files i want to call upon also exsist in the target dir. i think it should work. But since i'm more of a windows man i'm afraid i'm overlooking something.... Android tells me that the link is not valid or i'm not authorized tot open it...
Who can halp me along? Thanks in advance!
kind regards,
some dutch guy
