Let me start by saying I've searched and cannot find the answer...
Does anyone know if it's possible to view an email attachment on the DASH? I am using the phone with Cingular service, and have MediaNet through Cingular. If I go to either Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, or gmail, if I have an email with an attachment, I see the attachment there, but do not know how to view it. If I click on the attachment, it simply takes me to a new page with the file name of the attachment.
Is there no way to view this and is this why everyone is trying to get BB service on their DASH? I know someone with an 8700c and I changed a setting in the 8700 (Windows emulator of some sort?) to be able to view/download attachments.
Why can't I view attachments with my DASH if it already has Windows on it?
Sad but true; i don't think this is possible.
Hey guys anyone else know anything about this?
Using ProfiMail
I am using ProfiMail (albeit on against a POP account); but am able to read HTML messages and download and open attachments (if I have the viewer software on my phone -- e.g. pdf, word, etc.)
how to make ANY OTHER viewer default-we have invested in these handset- so we can send out job sheets to engineers -however unless they save them first(unlikey) clearvue will always be the default viewer- and guess what- pdf unreadable have tried all pdfs viewers(and they work) but none disable clearvue.
please help
run this app from you pc to install in the pocket pc...then open the app and set the pdf file extension to the default viewer you want.
done that and is set to acrobat reader but pdf still open with clearvue? have done soft reset etc etc any thoughts?
1) To edit the contact link Total Commander isn't needed. Use resco explorer, Action, Open Widh, Notepad. Edit, then Save and exit Notepad
2)I've mapped the right key to SEND SMS to the contact
I've copied and renamed, using Activesync, all Dial_Contact**m.lnk located in \Storage Card\Program Files\Excalibur Photo Dialer\ as SMS_Contact**m.lnk (** stands for contact's phone number)
I've opened and modified the shortcut as 44#"\Windows\Tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "+xx-xxx-xxxx" (XXXX stands for the contact's phone number )
3) Using OLDSAP Favorites is easy to rename in CPhotoDial panel, SK2TEXT as Send SMS and the SK2URL to \Storage Card\Program Files\Excalibur Photo Dialer\SMS_Contact**m.lnk
DONE
ill add this to my next rom coming tonight

ah, heck i'll just flash the new rom.
The best way to test if the SMS_Contact**m.lnk works is to launch it from resco explorer. If it doesn't work may be you made a TYPO in the shortcut (forgotten " or UPPER/lowercase problem, double space or no space)
The Correct debugging is done opening the SMS_Contact1m.lnk:
1) LEAVE ONLY
44#"\Windows\Tmail.exe"
SAVE AND LAUNCH, are you in the messaging application? YES
2) open again and write
44#"\Windows\Tmail.exe" -service "SMS"
SAVE AND LAUNCH,are you in the SMS inbox? YES
3) open again and write
44#"\Windows\Tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "+1111"
SAVE AN LAUNCH, are you trying to send an SMS to 1111? YES
END
If any NO double check and repeat

i cant get this to work for nothing. lol maybe im missing something. i know ricky put it in his new rom but i just flashed maybe a few hours before he put it out.
so you just synced to your pc, copied over the Dial_contact**m.ink renamed it, edited it (on pc or phone?) then ran it to see if it worked?
nevermind i figured it out.
i had to move the # symbol from #44 to 44# to get it to work
Sorry, it was MY TYPO in the message! !

hehe i got it working and its very convient
more suggestions..
First.. I have to say .. Tx so much for all.. Ricky, Kavana.. and all others..
I have a suggestion, Ricky why u dont do like Kavana´s did with the keymap ?
There´s a problem when u try, using other keymap language, like portuguese, the problem is with the xt9 why u dont use et9 ?
Maybe Im talking a lot of bullshits, but I saw that u are using XT9 and when I change the language nothing happen,
could u check that ?
Tx bro!

Thanks for the break down, missed a space. Works great!!
It's very bad to see that people are using software that I developed for the Shadow: Photo Dialer, CHome Menu, etc... using all the icons that I moded with Photshop, even the same URL for Action Keys... and nobody gives credit for it.
I don't mind sharing software with people (that is why I put together a site for it) but some credit would be appreciated.
Everytime I use an idea from someone (e.g. Dialer using vjay dialer, cyberbuddha's interface tweaks) at least I mention that people in the description of the software.
What is this CPhotoDialer and does anyone have a screenshot?
It's this: http://freddyreyes.com/forums/index.php?topic=286.0
It's not "bad" to see people using it. It's not like you own the software. You just discovered how to tweak Microsoft's software. It IS bad that we're not giving credit where credit is due. But then again, this is a different forum, a different phone, etc.... Credit would be nice, but you don't have to whine about it I've created a few cabs myself with settings for people and not always credit for it. But then again, it's okay... because it's not my software
I was mad at it and wanted to express my frustration....
it's ok no hard feelings....

Screenshots anywhere? or did I miss something that's right in front of me?
Freddy, here's some credit for you: Thanks a bunch! I'm using the hell out of my phone now, and quickly doing almost all the things I hoped I would with a Smartphone, and your tools are a really nice part of it.
I hope that our tinkering helps you in kind, and that you all get your own Shadow forum on XDA soon, so we can share more.
If i have a file with my contacts that is a .xls document is there anyway to convert those to actual contacts on my phone? Tried to search and didnt really find anything. Thanks
Depending on the format used in the .xls, you can import it into outlook. I don't have outlook installed anymore to give you directions, but it is there under import/export option. But, the excel file would have to be formated correctly. You could always enter some contacts into outlook, export to .xls to see how it is setup and then modify your current .xls to match.

Do you have outlook? If so you can convert your xls sheet to CSV and import it into outlook.
Is it possible to develop:
1. HomeBrew PDF viewer with sending PDF instead the Adobe's Reader ?
2. HomeBrew PDF sender which access to Isolated Storage of Adobe's Reader ?
Thanks for info.
1. Yes of course but it's really hard and complex task. Also, you can't assign your viewer as a default PDF viewer.
2. No for regular MP apps (you can't access someone else sandbox), but very possible for interop-unlocked handset.

question 1:
Yes, but I think is really difficult.
To associate PDF extension with your app you have to change registry keys on device (HKCR\.pdf sends you to HKCR\PDFFile that contains the appId to use to open pdfs), but on unlocked device only
question 2:
Yes, but on unlocked device only

Yes, that's why I wrote that I want HOMEBREW APP not official.
"You want" or "you want to write app"? If first - you may forget about it The only hope - if someone will port that project http://sourceforge.net/projects/clown/ to WP7 SL.
You can always replicate the existing adobe reader app, than by using reflector copy the code, than modify it according your needs.
The reading part is being done by some dll which you can use.
Now instead of rerouting the pdfs to a different folder just use the same app ID and overwrite the official app. Now all pdfs end up in your custom build pdf reader.
Good luck

or hoping that there is an usable user control in Adobe Reader's DLL
On unlocked devices the following could be done:
a homebrew app which syncs the isolated storage folder of the Adope Reader with the My Documents folder (manual sync and maybe a background task which syncs both folder in a predefined interval). This would give us the possibility to send .pdf´s via email or upload them to skydrive via the Office Hub.
Atm I copy my pdf´s with a filebrowser to the MyDocuments folder and all works fine but it would be nice to have an app which could make life easier.
I´m not able to write such an app but I know that it´s possible.
he Free Online ePub Converter 2EPUB allows you to convert PDF, doc
Input formats:
doc, docx, epub, fb2, html, lit, lrf, mobi, odt, pdb, pdf, prc, rtf, txt.
Output formats: epub, fb2, lit, lrf, mobi

spavlin,
1. Do this apps allow to switch as be default PDF reader ?
2. Do this apps allow to send PDF files via email ?
If not both of them why do you put it here ?

Hi!
Just a sidenote:
Adobe Reader for WP7 sucks as it lacks the reflow option which is quite useful for reading documents on little displays. If someone starts to develop please keep in mind this function.
Regadrs,
Cina.

All those Marketplace apps are crap because they don´t replace the original pdf-reader.
Currently there is no app which can do what you want. The only solution is a homebrew app.

Yes, does somoone create homebrew pdf app which can:
1. Send Pdf via email
2. Be the default pdf app
Uhm, you could get the .xap of the original Adobe Reader app, and decompile it. Then you could add the functions you need to the officially app. It sould not be that complicated but some annoying work, I guess...
did you try the PDF Move app?
