Hi all,
I have been looking on how to create a bookmark in the Start Menu of Windows Mobile 6.5.1 that launches the Opera browser to go to a specific website but I have no idea what to do!
Try this way.
In any text editor program, make a new empty txt file , paste the full url address into it (for example, http://forum.Xda-developers.com/), count how many characters those are(in this case it's 32 characters), then insert "xx#" infront of it, use a quote mark on the on the url, xx=number of url characters+2,then the text read as: 34#"http://forum.xda-developers.com/" , save it in this way:
file type: All files
code: ASCII
Filename: Xda.lnk or whatever.lnk
Now you got the shortcut (.lnk)file, you can copy it to \Windows\Start
Menu\Programs\ folder, it will showup in the start menu. If you click on it, it will launch the default browser to go to the url.
Tip: xx=filesize-3
yay it works!!! Thank you so much!

With my Shadow/Juno, when I download a picture attached to an email in my Windows Live account, it downloads it as a .txt file and tried to open it in Word and in Word it just displays as a bunch of letters and characters. Is there anyway or is there a program that will let me open the file in the picture display....kind of like the "Open With..." in a Windows OS?
I have found a program called MY Extentions.
With this you can associate any type of file to a program.
Hope it works out for you!

I have installed Opera 10. How do I get to add favourites in the favourites menu in Sense? Tried adding bookmarks in IE Favourites, but that didn't help.

Anyone who can help with this issue?
Open the Bookmark-URL in Internetexplorer and let the page be loaded fully. Then close Explorer and preview will be showed. Works not on all pages but most of them
Good luck
This is how I did it.
This worked on my Miri ROM. When I click on a blank internet tab shortcut it takes me to the Opera 9.7 bookmarks even after making Opera 10 my default. I had to switch back to 9.7 as default and set all of the sense tab shortcuts with images generated.
When you do this it creates a number of image files in the Windows/Thumbnail sub-directory with long coded names. It also creates an .icn file in Windows/Opera9/profile/Images, named as the www url name of the shortcut.
You then switch back to Opera 10 as default and Opers 10 uses the page image shortcuts. You can edit the Windows/Thumbnail images and save the new image with the same name and you will get the new thumbnail image directed to the same url it was originally associated with.
Set 9.7 as default in Settings/Advanced. You need to re-install 10 to set as default as it only asks on install.
The long coded names change with each assigned url. I do not know how they are generated or how they relate to the .icn files. If this process was known it might be possible to change the shortcuts without reverting back.
If your original default browser was IE you may have to do the same, but roll back to IE not 9.7.
I can only say this worked on the Miri ROM.
Opera Mobile 10 has a big advantage, it can sync bookmarks, speed dial icons and history with any Opera Link enabled desktop Opera. It's enough to use a portable version, that can import IE favorites as well. On top of that the password file (wand.dat) is also compatible.
I find it much more convenient to manage this data on my PC and then sync it to the PDA.
Sorry if this has been posted before. This was one of those "late-night family specials" and I had to write it down somewhere.
I will polish this up later. Hope it helps!
1) Connect your iPhone to iTunes and make a backup.
a) Wait for iPhone to list.
b) Right click, then select Backup.
Depending on the size of data on your phone and the last backup performed, this could take a while.
2) Download SQLite Database Extractor and iFunBox. It's a bit unpleasant, but it'll work.
3) Do the following to restore key information:
PHOTOS
-----------
iPhones are recognized as cameras in Windows and Mac, so pull photos like you normally would (iPhoto, Windows Explorer, etc.)
SMS
-----
Go to this (http://faked.org/isms2droid/index.php) website and follow the instructions.
CONTACTS
--------------
This is the messy part. (You must be syncing your phone with a Google account to make this work.)
BIG NOTE: If your iPhone can access the internet, the easiest way to do this is to add your Google account on the iPhone and sync everything that way. See http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252 for details.
1) Open iPhone Backup Extractor and wait for it to finish loading data.
2) When finished, click "Expert Mode"
3) Click on LIBRARY, then ADDRESSBOOK, then AddressBook.sqlitedb
4) Click Extract Selected, then save to somewhere convenient (like the Desktop). It will display a warning; just click OK. NOTE: The program costs $34.95. Unfortunately, it's not worth it.
5) Navigate to the folder you saved this file in, then click LIBRARY, then AddressBook.
5) Open SQL Database Extractor. When it opens, drag this file into the application. If you did this right, you should get tons of dropdown menus.
6) Click on Edit, then Create Table. Name the table whatever you want; I will use "TEST_TABLE" as the name in this example.
7) Click Add, then type "First" for field name and "TEXT" for field type. Repeat this twice, entering the data below:
Field Names: "Last", "Mobile"
Field Type: "TEXT", "TEXT"
8) When done, click on "Execute SQL" and enter the following query in the SQL string:
INSERT INTO "test_table" (First, Last, Mobile) SELECT AbPerson.First AS First, AbPerson.Last AS Last, AbMultiValue.value AS Mobile FROM AbPerson, AbMultiValue WHERE (AbPerson.ROWID = AbMultiValue.record_id AND AbMultiValue.value LIKE '%(%)%')
If it worked, you should see "No error" underneath "Error message from database engine"
BIG NOTE: If you mess up the query above, SQLite Database Browser will freeze! Yes, I know it sucks. I'm going to make a better way.
BIG NOTE 2: Everyone's phone number will be recognized as mobile numbers. Remember that this is a quick way of getting your contacts back.
BIG NOTE 3: If the person's number is not in the format [+...] (prefix) suffix, it will be lost. Sorry
9) Click on "Browse Data" and select the table you created (here, TEST_TABLE) from the "Table" dropdown. If it worked, you'll see first names, last names and phone numbers.
10) Click on File, then Export, then Export As CSV File. Select TEST_TABLE for the table name and click Export to complete. Save it somewhere convenient, like the desktop. Click OK, then exit. Don't save the new table.
11) Log into your Gmail account and go to your contacts. Click on MORE ACTIONS, then IMPORT.
12) Browse to the CSV file you just created. Then click Import. If it worked, you should see all of your contacts in Gmail, and they will appear in your phone in a few minutes.
The worst is now behind you!
MUSIC
--------
Going by memory, sorry. There are two good ways of doing it:
(a) the easy way:
1) Download DoubleTwist and install
2) Wait for device to connect
3) Click on it, then click Sync Music
4) Get good coffee to enjoy while waiting.
(b) the geeky way:
1) Open iFunBox
2) When your phone is recognized, expand it, then click Raw File System, then iTunes_Control, then Music
3) Copy ALL folders somewhere convenient.
4) When that's finished, connect your Android device as USB storage.
5) Create a folder called Music or similar if not already present.
6) Copy all of those folders into that directory. You will lose the pretty names, but all of the music will be organized automatically.
Some how a folder has shown up in my bookmarks. No matter how long I hold the icon the options menu will not show up to delete it or rename it nothing. It has no bookmarks within it and I don't see any options to create a folder let alone delete one. Any ideas.
Bookmark foldering seems to be a new feature in Honeycomb, and the implementation is a bit inelegant, if not nearly undiscoverable, at this time. Still, it's nice to have the feature now, with hopes of further refinement down the line.
You can create folders from the Edit Bookmark dialog:
Long press a bookmark
Select "Edit bookmark"
In the "Add to" section of the dialog, touch "Bookmarks"
Select "Other folder..."
Although you can create new folders and subfolders here, delete functionality seems to be available only via a long press on the folder from the main Bookmark screen.
If the rogue folder can't be deleted this way, maybe check if you can create a new one and see if you can delete that. If that works, and if your other bookmarks are OK, then the rogue folder is probably corrupted; otherwise, there may be further corruption in your bookmarks, IMHO.
what about having bookmarks show up alphabetically?
I can add folders and delete folders just fine its this "other Bookmarks" folder can not be deleted. I cleared all my browser data in app management. Folder is gone now. It seems to show up only when I sync bookmarks with my desktop. On my Linux PC that folder can't be deleted or renamed anything. So that's where it came from just don't know how to kill the folder. I did a bookmark export and opened the XML file but it doesn't show in the coding. I'm left to think its a chrome on Linux error.

I just installed Chrome on a Windows box, and found the same thing: the "Other bookmarks" folder is installed by default and cannot be deleted or renamed, whereas user-created folders can. It looks like it's just a Chrome thing overall.
Thanks for that. Wonder why they forced a folder.

I use an app called Bookmark Sort and Backup. Just hit menu then click alphabetical sort!
When I selected and tapped a .txt file in Files app, the text file would be opened with a stock editor app, WPS Office.
But when I tapped that floppy disk icon to save after editing, it seemed that it couldn't save and update that .txt file. It would rather 'Save as' another file.
I wonder why I could not save and update a .txt file directly.
Thank you in advance.
