[Q] Dropbox auto uploading pictures with wrong date - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hey guys. I use and LOVE the dropbox auto-upload feature for my Note. Recently, however, i've noticed that all my pictures are uploaded with the same date name: 2002-12-08 12.00.00-1.jpg (with the last numeral increasing for each additional image.)
It used to upload with the correct date/time, but obviously that feature broke. The date on my phone is correct and i can't seem to find any sort of renaming settings in dropbox. Can someone point me in the right direction?

when you open dropbox app you get three icons in upper left corner( dropbox, photo and star) select the dropbox icon if not already there. then select camera uploads folder. you should see your photos with an arrow pointing down on right. tap the arrow and you will get option to rename.

What date is in your phone settings?

Same stupid problem ov er here.. all file names are 2002-12-8
date and time settings are allright.
Im on a Alcatel OT995 using ics+ 1.3 from Mch.

I fixed it with this app:

Goodluck!

Solved, I think.

The problem only appears with some Camera apps. Using the old camera app for Android 2.3.7 works flawlessly but later versions have problems, ie. Camera ICS. I only noticed this behaviour after I installed Camera ICS and as soon as I tried going back to the old version it disappeared. Must be something in the API I guess.

Wifi settings found in HTC Touch Dual

Guys,
Here's how you view the .exe file
Go File Explorer, make sure you check the "Show All Files", then go to Windows folder, the file name is "WLANSettings.exe
The attributes for this file is "Read-only", "Hidden", "System" & "ROM"
Any of you willing to test if it works, as i do not know how to enable this function on my device
sounds interesting. On a plain winmobile 6 this file doesn't exists, seems that HTC placed it for some reason...
Exctaly today I found (casually) the same settings on my device!!!
I think...these are the settings swith off of WI-FI!
Anybody knows how to turn ON?
If I click on TURN ON...it does not works... maybe it's necessary to change some valors in Windows..
later
on the touch with wifi there is also an WLANSettings.exe040X.mui file......you may need this also.

i found this file "WLANSettings.exe.0409.MUI" as well, but it prompted me to choose the program to open this file
So, any advice on this Wifi enabling settings ?
I found two icon files as well, one is "WiFi_datacall', the other is "WIFI_on" !!
...you are near!
...the setting to change are in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\WiFi...
let us know...!
Tell me what to change and I'll try it
Yes, please keep us updated bro!!
Very good work!
I found these!
Hi everyone,this is what i found in windows folder.
(see screenshot002)(hold your cursor over the pictures to see which screenshot number!)
when i click on WLANSettings, I see the option to turn on. (see screen003)
on "menu", there is "Comm manager"(see screen008) & "wifi"(see screen004)
also in wondows folder, there is a htm page for wifi.(see screen007)
I havent really tried to "fool" around with it yet...may try so very soon..!
Oh yes, & one more thing...there is also an exe.file "wrlsmgr"...which shows a different looking comm manager than the original one.I wonder why?(see screen009)
The WLAN doesn't come ON..I hv also tried puting PNGs to indicate..I think something very small we are missing
Keep up the good job

sorry i already check your proposal and... unfortunately nothing
Here my 2 ct:
I think, the phones with the qualcomm chipset in fact are able to do GPS and wifi; HTC just disables them to save licensing cost, because, if they enable wifi, the cost will rise for the phone.
Sounds like making sense, huh?
Anyway, i ordered mine yesterday and am dying for wifi...
So, i hope the best for all of us....
we
i don't have HTC touch or touch dual, yet.
suggestion:
have someone tried to extract the COMM Manager program from HTC touch and create a .CAB file for it, if need. then take it and install to HTC touch dual device.
once you have it install, do the normal WIFI configuration such as network card and etc... and test the wifi connection.
if it is not working, then most likely the touch dual does not has the wifi hardware addon it.
can someone perform this wifi experiment.
open it and post some hi-res picture. If you do it slowly and gently the warranty will be safe because they will not realize that you have opened
With pictures will be possible without any dubt understand if wifi is in or not
So, has anyone managed to set up the Wifi ?

Iris Browser 1.1.9 Windows Mobile 6.5.X Menu Fix

Hey guys,
On my Windows Mobile 6.5.X, using the latest version of Iris Browser (1.1.9), I noticed that the "Navigate" context menu isn't working (at least using classic OS Menus), so I'm not able to bring up any of the navigation features, making my navigation experience quite frustrating.
I know that Iris is old and unsupported, but on my HD2 it's fast, stable and as of today it's the only good Webkit based browser, so I thought to modify the executable to work correctly with WM 6.5.X, and I reorganized the menu structure so that everything should be working.
Here you can find some pics:
|
|
|
And the download link: just unpack and overwrite the original IrisBrowser.exe
Tested working on my HD2 with Dutty's HG WM 6.5.X 23569. Let me know if it works for you
Enjoy
Always on the look out for a good browser. I'll install and post a review for yah tomorrow.
where can I find Iris 1.1.9?
iris browser its dead 1 year ago

Yeah, it's dead, like most of the apps for Windows Mobile today, but it's still a top-notch browser and on my HD2 it outperformss Opera 9 most of the times
You, sir, are a lifesaver. I cannot thank you enough. Iris is the only decent webkit browser available for the moment that has a halfway decent zoom to frame algorithm. It does everything else too, like flash lite, and really only needs a skinning to be up there with the big boys.
I was actually preparing to downgrade my rom to a 6.5 just to get iris to work.
Again, you have my thanks.
Wow Thaanks! Didn't know someone would be dedicated enough to fix this bug
EDIT: out of curiosity, how did u decompile/hack/fix the exe?

Anytime man I'm glad to give something back to the community
When I first used this browser 2 weeks ago, this bug was really frustrating so I started thinking to any possible solutions (except for going back to WM6.5 just for an app ). In the end the simplest was the most effective: I could edit all the resources using ResHacker
If possible I'm also thinking of modifying some other resources to be more finger friendly (i.e. the favourites window), but I dunno if in this case ResHacker will be enough

Thanks Drakknar, this had been frustrating me too. I think to keep the tabs menu item working you have to have it as the 4th item. Here's my version: exe zip.
It's great.
Iris browser has been the only usefull browser for google tasks.
This patch work wonderfull.

It really depends on the app itself... Inside some executables you can view an impressing amount of resources, while on others there's almost nothing to edit except from the app icon lol. I guess I was just lucky to be able to edit this kind of resources on this specific app
can't download
I'm having some issues with Megaupload.
Mirrors please. Hope this isn't too much of a request.
Really nice browser.
@JamieKitson, I miss the 'home' function in your menu to go to the homepage.
ppl i need a big favor..... my iris browser crashes.... it says memory exceeds limit.....

pls hlp me....
Can someone who have a copy of menu fixed iris browser 1.1.9 reupload, please?
The megaupload download link is down. :-(
Still out there?
I know this is an old thread, but I'm still using Iris browser and I'm wondering if anyone might have a copy of either of the two modified exe files mentioned in this thread. With the loss of Megaupload, neither link works and an extensive Google search shows no other hosts for the files.
Thanks for any help!
Thanks to Reshack, here is my version of menu fix for IrisBrowser.
Just unrar the file and copy it to your IrisBrowser program folder in your WM phone to replace the original IrisBrowser.exe.

If you check out this thread,

by Deadlocked007, these map packs are set for HTC locations and Premium Navigation. Basically once you have the app installed it will give you the option to
download maps for offline viewing.
These are those maps.
Won't these need to be renamed for the phone to recognize it when you move it to the .data folder? They don't appear to have the same names as the ones you'd get straight from the phone.

I went on to double check the names. Apparently the Minus site is down for whatever reason, not sure why but as of now its not letting me log in via handset or browser. Just boots up a blank screen? The full name that I currently see on my sd card when viewing properties shows as this...
"United States - West.cmap"
If these names are not the same as above during download something must be going on w/ minus. Soon as it will actually let me view their site again, I'll make sure I resolve the problem or even find a better place to upload them.
EDIT: Thanx again for pointing out the error in the name. I was finally able to look it up and it seems that Minus is putting a "%20" for spaces in the file name. I tried to go in and edit the name but that doesn't even show "%20". It shows it as normal. So yes, I guess you would need to remove that. Wish I would've seen that before. Ill make sure I update the OP to include the name change. Thanx again

Correcta mondo!
I spent a whole day d/l the US maps to my phone and spent the greater part of a whole night uploading them to my minus account. I currently only have the US maps d/l so far. I suppose I can check out the others and d/l them as well. I'll grab the India one first and so forth and keep going from there. This does take time though so just fyi
I'll update the OP as the downloads/uploads go through.

Full Screen Incoming Call Contact Picture/ICS

Hello all, just updated my to ATT/ICS last week and thought this feature was to be included in the 4.0? After searching here for a bit I can't find any info. Wondering is there a way to do this with out rooting the phone or running a different launcher. TIA

that feature is available on Google's version of ICS, which is AOSP, but also in AOKP/CM9, I have AoCP from The Collective Team and I have full screen caller id, if you're running stock , well that's AT&T/Samsung's fault for not adding it to their dialer, you can try this app out and see if you like it, I don't think you need root for it or anything else. good luck

Hey thanks roloracer, this is kinda a no brainer Att Ics? Coming from a windows phone and boy that feature looks just great. Every day I'm getting closer to the ROOT of the matter. Thanks again.
Related question, but backwards.
How would you disable this feature?
Looked through all the options I can find in CM9 (h0tw1r3, not the official CM9) and can't find anything about it.
I don't have contact pictures for 75% of my contacts, and the ones I do have are seemingly tiny images that look terrible on the Note full screen.

@DAGr8*;

will that maybe solve this issue?
<< this feature was one of Major reasons why I went from ICS stock to another ROM from Xda forum>>
I find stock ICS from att =has several things lacking and a MAJOR DISSPOINTMENT

New Touch user comments and questions.

I just got my Meizu MX4 and find several things which irritate me, was wondering if I can make suggestions for updates somewhere? Here are a few examples:
How do I get temp in C, with Display Language US English?
NearBy took an entire day to finally figure out where I live, although location is turned on and I tried to show it where I am.
Still new, more to follow if this is the place.

As far as I know there is a bug report for this and the developers are working on it. Let's see if the next update fixes the issue.
Thank you for the response Nikwen,
The weather app is automatically the Weather Channel, the only setting possible is location on or off. I had expected it to be there.
I'll keep my eye open for the fix to my other comment and also for additional things to talk about. I'm essentially very satisfied with the user experience and am certain that once apps and scopes begin showing up in numbers Ubuntu will be a viable alternative to the others on the market.
I assume I can continue to bring up problems I find here.
Thanks again
O
Found the next thing, although it's probably known. In camera I can't zoom. The zoom - + show, but nothing happens.
So, I found that I can change the weather app to celsius, but it doesn't work in the weather channel and it's what's used in NearBy with F.
I also found that the Amazon app goes automatically to Amazon.co.uk, but I live in Germany, I want .de, but how?
Next, I browsed Google.com, it sent me to Google.de, what else? I didn't want that, but it's impossible to get to complete English. The Google page is English, but when I touch settings, I land in a German page.
Those are my newest grumps, I'll keep looking.
TY for listening!

WiFi hotspot would also be nice, though I understand the OS is new and time will bring new features.

TY antole, that's welcome info. This morning I got an update, since then I get no notifications from gmail. Is that normal or do I need to make a setting? Another thing, Near By has disappeared, so I no longer see F not certain if that's good or bad atm.
I'm just enjoying playing with my new toy and thank all devs for the hard work amnd for putting up with my problems.
O
I haven't even tried the Gmail app sorry
My Gmail account is configured with Dekko
I didn't get any update this morning, was the update for the Gmail app ?
I've been running on OTA-5 for approximately two weeks now and I've had no issue with The Weather Channel displaying temperature in C but I live in France so that seems normal
My NearBy scope hasn't gone anywhere either ;p

Back with more! Sorry to say I was overwelmed by the amount of work needed on OT and didn't want to sound like I was putting it down, so I stopped writing. Most are small, wish I could this or that. I found one today though which I had to ask about.
I tried to upload files to my P today, win7 couldn't do it so I tried Ubuntu desktop, 14.04 which couldn't mount my phone. Uh oh, what now? I can't find a setting anywhere which helps. Any advice would be appreciated.
Oh and the update I assume was somethsomething to get my new phone up to the current version. I must have removed Near By by accident, I have it back now, still in F. Must be the language, custom I live in germany but us us english.
Ty for the help!

If you cannot mount your phone, you can always enable ssh and use sftp to transfer files. Usual mounting should work though.
(If it still doesn't, you could try installing ADB on your computer. It might help.)
Thanks for your help Nik,
I figured it out, I needed to get into Developer Mode in order to get USB to work. Now I'm in, but have the next problem. I can only see the Home directories, but I want to download the files in the .local/share but I have no idea how to get there. On my MX4 I've gotten to the folder I want using File Manager, but how do I get there from my PC? Or more specifically, how do I download the files stored there?
O
Yeah, hotspot is here! Haven't had time to test it yet, but I love to watch UT develop.
Still hoping for a tip on getting to my files from a PC. I understand it's a kinda noobish question, but until now I've only fixed problems as they arrise in Ubuntu, haven't had time for it. Now I've started and don't know where to search for help.
And the potshot works great. Saw Cantata Nil, looks interesting, but having a problem finding servers, or do I have to set up my own server?
Thanx

Stupid auto correct, I meant hotspot and Nik.
