No matter what type of attachment it is, it shows up with .dat as the format. It will no longer open .jpg, pdf or word and excel files.
Running EB 2.3.3 with the stock email included with the rom. I made sure there are no prefences set for any sofware that would override the attachements. It used to pop up a list of software and allow me to choose how to open the file.
Any thoughts?
Do you have Astro File MAnager installed on your phone?

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 was writing an email using Pocket Outlook and wanted to attach a file but there seems to be no way to navigate to the file using Pocket Outlook. All it offers are folders. It doesn't seem to allow me to navigate to subfolders.
Is there a way to make this possible or has it been overlooked?
The weird thing is that attaching images allows me to navigate the subfolders. It is just attaching normal files where navigating subfolders is disallowed. Really strange descision.
I usually use resco explorer, select the file and select send via mms/email, it's easier, faster.
There's also a replacement for the default (ridiculous)file picker, you may try to look for that.

I was looking for a replacement, but couldn't find it.
Using resco explorer, is it possible to sende multiple files attached in 1 email?
I tried selecting multiples files and then send via mms/email but nothing happened, but resco has built-in support for compressing files, so, just compress them and send the archive.
Hi,
I just recently received the HTC HD2, and tried installing clearvue/jetcet pdf viewer, as well as foxit pdf viewer. I didn't like them (the clearvue one didn't even work) so uninstalled them.
I now, however, have lost the file association for my pdf files. I changed it using resco explorer ("always open file with" and "include name in brackets"), and now, all pdf files open woth adobereader LE, but there is still no icon for a pdf file in resco explorer.
When checking the registry, it seems that upon choosing which program to open with, it created a new key; I now have "AdobeReaderLE" and "AdobeReader LE.25 under HKLM/USER/Software.
Anyway, it works, but I do'nt have the icon, and when clikcing "properties" it says that the filetype is unknown. Any way to change this (using the registry)?
Thanks
Recently I was searching for a way to send apk to my friend, via whatsapp but since its directly not possible, I was looking for workaround. All Google posts linked a extra app, that combines our other extension file with jpg, so that whatsapp sees that jpg to send it. After being sent, recipient needs that same app, to use it, to extract the original file what we intended to send..., Since This isn't effective solution, due to new documents sending feature in Whatsapp, I thought of way and it works well on latest 2.16.97 (as on May 26- 2016) and wanted to share it. This is so simple solution that any Android power user can easily think of...
1. Go to file explorer and change the original app's extension to "txt"
Example: if you want to send a calculator android app, then if app's name would be like "calculator.apk". Rename that to "calculator.txt"
*I have tried other document formats ppt csv pdf etc, none of them expect "txt" extension works, I didn't try "rtf"..
Note: Dont append ".txt" to original file like example "calculator.apk.txt". Whatsapp refuses to accept these...
2. Share that renamed file with extension "txt" to your friend (Can use Share file from file explorer or Go to Whatsapp->contact->attachment->Documents->Browse to renamed txt file location. Works both ways)
3. Whatsapp will send it and your friend will receive that file at sdcard/whatsapp/Whatsapp Documents
*The file can't be opened directly from whatsapp. If opened, only random characters will be seen..
4. Ask your friend to open File explorer and go to "sdcard/whatsapp/Whatsapp Documents" to spot your file. Then ask you friend to rename txt extension by original extension. Example: if calculator app is sent, "calculator.txt" should be renamed back as "calculator.apk"
5. Thats its!... Max file size of 16MB can be sent by this method...
Thanks for reading and give me a Thumbs up if this idea seems worthwhile to you...
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.
