Hello,
I try to find the answear to that question but i failed, probably is because i dont speak chinese
How can i import the footprints that i have exported from the htc footprints to a file .kmz to a google maps MAP, and show the photo in the footprint?
when i tri to do that, the photo doesnt appear...
Your Help will be appreciated...
----------------------------
I put that question to HTC:
Hello, When i try to import footprints to google maps in my pc (to my map), the photo doesnt appear. Please tell me how can i do that in order to solve that problem. the steps: 1. i export the footprint to the memory card 2. i put the file in my computer 3. i goto google maps and goto my maps, and after i do "edit" and i do "import" and i import the footprint file that was in my pc. 4. after that the point of interest appears in the map, but the phot doenst appear. When i use the mouse (right click) in the photo, the properties show the link to the "image file".......
and the answer:
Regarding your request, if you are trying to link a photo to Google maps on the handset,kindly confirm that you've followed the information below:
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Photos & Videos tab and then tap Albums.
2. Tap the photo of the location that you want.
3. While viewing the photo in full screen, tap the screen to display onscreen controls.
4. Tap Menu > Save as Footprints.
5. Drag and move the photo to center a small part of the photo on the crop box.
6. Tap Done to crop the selected part of the photo and save it as a new footprint.
7. The Edit screen then opens and lets you add location information to the footprint.
If you are trying to link the photo to Google maps on a PC, kindly contact Google to find if this is possible, as this feature is supported on the handset not on the PC.
i might be wrong but i do not think you can host images directly on google maps.but you cas store your kmz files or images elsewhwre and point it on it.something like sites.google.com, flickr etc..
but than again.i can be wrong.i have tried a few things after you posted your question just because i wanted to know more about this.maybe you want to check this out http://www.northgates.ca/kmlEditor/.it is free and cool editor for kml and kmz files.
anyway.i am still looking at it.if i will find something i will let you know.

more information about footprints
Thank you for your interest.
After that i install google earth in my pc and with google earth, aftetr import the kmz file, the footprints appear with the photo...
Probably because the google earth is a local program and the footprints file is local too.
Wath i want is the same but with google maps in my map...
It is very strange HTC d'ont say noting about it, because the most beautiful feature for footprints is going to a personal map and put all the footprints in the map with photos...
If you know more about it, please wirte it to all the peeple.
if there is any solution to this that would be great, otherwise footprint will be kinda useless..
I need to backup all my footprints but I cannot use the standard backup procedure since I have no access the the Footprints tab on Sense, my Sense have crashed and don't start any more.. Before I replace it with a new rom, I'd like to save my Footprints but how?
I installed the kml editor. Besides getting a virus warning it can't open the kmz created by footprints.
In Google Earth (!) (G.E.) I linked to my public dropbox folder in wich I stored the ***.kmz file (the export file from Footprints from my HTC). in G.E. under 'my places' rightclick 'Add' and 'networklink' after wich you copy and paste your URL. So, not to a local file, but an URL on the Internet. Works OK, so photos are displayed on proper locations on Google Earth. Still no way found tot display them in Google Maps. Stupid thing Footprints does not have a proper sulution for this.
Fine thing is, you can use the 'time' dawbar in G.E. tot filter your footprints, or even have them played 'through time'.

i have a word doc that i have attached to my meeting next week (outlook). Is there any way i can make it appear attached, on my calendar, on my phone?
no one knows how to get an attachment to show up in the calendar?
I don't know about an attachement but if you enter this exactly as shown, then put a space after it you can create a link to a document
file:\\Storage%20Card\directory\file
It will expand out, reversing the slashes and adding the extra one needed, like this after you add the space at the end
file:///Storage%20Card/directory/file
Then you can select it with your stylus to open the file it is linked to. You can do this in both Contacts and Calendar
Hi
i use Hd2 and got the microsoft facebook apps installed. i discovered that i now have many photo folder existed when i open the photos tab and then click "albums" and "albums" again.
i realize all photo folder show under the "My Device" tab is due to the photos downloaded due to my facebook apps. is there anyway we can hide the unnecessary folder shown at the photo apps?

I too have found out that the facebook app is copying the profile pic of each FB person in the recent news etc, and putting into my albums
Hiding folders in htc albums
from pocketnow.com
If somehow HTC Album on your device is displaying pictures or folders as Albums you'd prefer to hide from various reasons, this could be easily achieved with a Registry tweak that instructs HTC Album to ignore a specific folder.
You need to edit your registry by going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored. This is the place where all the folders to be ignored and not displayed in the Album application are stored. Say you have a folder called Project you'd like to hide from the application then create a new string in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored and set its name to Project and its value to the path of your folder (i.e.: \Storage Card\Project). This will hide all subsequent folders as well so make sure to hide only the folder you want to keep from Album application. Add as many string values as you wish.
Note: Additionally, if you want to hide a specific picture, just set its attributes to hidden and it will not be shown in the Album application. Do that for all individual pictures you want to keep from the program.
i would have put a link but im not alowed.
think you need to hide \Temp or at least thats what took my facebook pictures off albums

thank you
THANK YOU prob1. my problem is solved.
Previously, i was able to download a file from dropbox and save it to my device. Maybe i'm just lost, but i dont see the option to do that. Also, when i was doing this previously, there was a folder called Dropbox in File Manager HD that kept (and synced) all of the items i downloaded from Dropbox. I dont see that now.
You can download (export) a file by either:
1) Long-pressing on a file and selecting Export, or
2) Pressing the down-arrow enclosed by a circle (on the right) of a file, and selecting Export
As for the folder-syncing, as long as i've used Dropbox on Android, they haven't supported folder synchronization. I think I've read somewhere that they used to support it, but took it out. There might be a 3rd party app on the Google Play store that you can get to emulate this feature though.
The App to sync dropbox called "FolderSync" and "Dropsync"
Thanks guys. Thought i was going insane.
Hi all,
I developed a Android app, Sync notes. I hope some one could actually test it and give me their valuable suggestions

• Create and save notes.
• Assign labels to notes
• Search notes
• Save notes in cloud to your Dropbox account.
• Save notes to SD Card
• Create or delete new labels
• Themes
• Fonts
Future Updates:
• New cloud options like Google Drive

• Reminders
• Import notes from external storage
Here is the play store link,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mkr.notes
Thanks,
Murali
I like it so far ... except for the ads
Some things I would like ...
a) an option to lock labels so that they cannot be viewed without a pin/password/pattern
b) an option to delete in-built labels or to rename them (I do not want labels such as personal, ideas)
c) an "all notes" view where in all the notes are visible on the opening screen (except those falling under "locked labels" mentioned in (a) above),
I look forward to the option to sync with Google Drive and .... if possible sync with Google Keep (can be synced with keep so that we can even update notes through the PC?).
Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions.
I'll implement these for the upcoming release.
once again thanks for using it.
Cheers,
Murali

Hi Paparasee,
A new release is uploaded to play store.
As you mentioned I implemented the pin lock, able to delete default labels and google drive implementations.
Also the UI has been updated and new features like import from sd card has been added.
Can you please install the latest app and tell your opinion.
Thanks in advance,
Murali

I can't find how to export all contacts to PC. The user manual is just childish stupid !
This must include all data (Name, phone numbers, etc)
Must I connect the device to a usb port or wifi and upload to cloud ?
Are they located on simcard or somewhere inside the device ?
1: Open Contacts app separately. (Not through dialer.)
2: Press 3 dots top right.
3: Select All
4: Click the share button.
5: From there you can choose to share it or save it locally on your phone which can then be copied to PC.
All contacts will be condensed into one .vcf file which is recognised by all phones.
All the best.
Thank you Alrich
After creating the vcf file:
I see the share icon. The wanted choice for me would be to send that file to the PC.
The Poco X3 NFC is usb connected to my pc with function file transfer allowed.
On the Poco screen I assume that the 'monitor' icon is the symbol for local pc ?
Clicking that option opens right away the app Casten which is asking access (3 options shown).
This app seems to be mandatory. I would have expected instantaneous copy operation instead of again another app authorization.
So far so good. But what to do with issue ‘Casten' ?
Even when going in this application settings and allowing 'location' I keep turning in a loop.

Can't you simply send the file to your email account and then download it on your PC?
I now try #4 (sharing with my gmail account).
The process shows a large spinning wheel and above a text Informatie controleren ... (Dutch). This seems to spin for ever.
By the way, I will change the language to English, for the purpose of reporting exactly what appears on screen..
At #3
I made a faulty assumption. The 'screen' icon is not for pc sharing. It seems to be for sharing the vcf file on screens ! What the hell has "exporting contacts" to do with sharing screens. Very confusing.

No idea what that might be. Maybe you have many contacts.
You can also try this:
Contacts - Share
And then select a file manager app. That way you can simply save the vcf file on your phone.
Then connect your phone to your PC and then copy the vcf file over
Meanwhile I managed to store Contacts on my PC.
But first, let me tell what NOT to do : Exporting to merged CSV file would be ok, if Excel would open that in a usual view. That however is not the case because Excel shows a useless scrambled view mixing all commas and data.
I found a free software that converts the csv file to another file that shows a normal view in Excel. Download from SourceForge https://sourceforge.net/projects/bulkvcftocsv/
Using that software Excel opens all Contacts as a normal sheet. This is easy to edit.
I assume that it can be used to import in iPhone devices.
No need to export contacts to pc via Google account, but you might like to do that also.
I do not know if there is any other easier method. Eventually why make things too simple if there is a more difficult way ?
#7 came was read after my fix described in #8. I might like to try it later

Possible cause: CSV standard is Comma Separated Values; in my experience and unless properly configured, Excel expects Colon Separated Values...
