Does anyone know how i can change the taken images from the camera to be named according to the date like yyyy_mm_dd or yyyymmdd cause the way it does name them image## is not good for me cause i take different kind of pics...i have them organized into folders and when i put them there the camera will take again pics with the same counter and i should rename them manually...i'd like to have them named according to date cause this way they are arranged better too....
there was a cab fix for HD2 that added this as an option....is there anything equivalent for desire???
Thanks
edit: i am one month on desire and i haven't found a way to do this neither widgets....does any of you know a way ????

I am looking for a solution too. There are two things that I hate on my Desire, the missing proper, with categories, and direct sync to Outlook or Thunderbird and the stupid file names that the standard camera produces.
This isn't really a Desire specific annoyance, I think it's since Android 2.1
All contacts with the same name would automatically merge on the phone, although they are different people (with the same name)
Does anyone know how to stop the contacts merging ?
You mean,they have same name and surname?
In that case,you can use their miidle name or nickname.

But the database is used for business so they don't have nicknames and a lot of them don't have middle names, so the only way is if there's a way to turn it off or remove the code to do it
let me try to sum what you are trying to say
1. Xavier Spencer 12321456
2. Xavier Spencer 13546798
i dont really think this is a problem "frankly". just my opinion ....

I'm not being funny...but exactly how many people with the same first AND last name do you have on your phone?
Seems like a pretty rare problem. I've seen people with the same name on the Exchange server at work and they all then have to provide a middle initial. Failing that we all have our departments abbreviation at the end of our name.

Pretty sure the question is, "does anyone know how to stop the contacts merging", NOT do u agree this is a problem...
I had problem with Name and Name*, they were merged so i ended up sending nasty message to neighbor instead my girlfriend...

I am pretty sure that this is not a problem. I don't see how anyone can tell by the name that it is a different person if it is the same name . Unless u are a psychic

I got contact pictures for every person, so yes I do know the difference between them, but when they merge I can no longer recognise each person
And you all have your opinion whether you think this is an issue or not, but I'm just simply asking does any of you know how to stop it, I don't care whether you think there's a need to stop it
Just put the company name as Lastname.
So Mr Joe Another from Contoso Corp would be
First Name: Joe
Last Name: Another Contoso
Whilst Joe Another from Kebabs Limited would be
Joe
Another Kebabs
?
I wish I could do that with them all, I'd be happy with that, but my dad has the same annoyance and he has a bit of OCD so it's all got to be perfect
If no one knows, I'll try opening up the APK later and try stopping it myself

Once again you appear to have missed the question...
Anyway I think the point is that most non-android handsets would ask if you wanted to merge the contacts or create them separately instead of assuming they should automatically be merged. This isn't specific to just business contacts, my father and I have the same name (which by no means is an uncommon occurrence) so anyone with an Android handset would have both our numbers in the one contact. This is far from ideal and although there may be workarounds such as nicknames, there should be a better solution.
Try this:
Create new contact with same name.
Save contact then open it.
You should see link icon in the top right corner.Click on it,then select Clear suggestions.
After that,you will have 2 contacts with same name.
Just tested for myself. It works!

I'm kind of not stock anymore
I'm running stock android so the contacts doesn't have link
Thanks for the suggestion though
Hiya all!
So, I have a question.. Both my boyfriend and I have the exact same HTC Desire Z, a Dutch one from Vodafone and in the beginning we both had the standard pictures that come with the phone in our "All photos" folder in the gallery. But now, due to some strange reason, I cannot see or find these photos anymore..
The pictures I'm talking about are the ones with the girl with the big sunglasses, a couple of nature photos and a dog lying on the floor (there might be more but I have only seen these). I'm not talking about the photos that you can download from HTC Hub to use as a background, because they are not on there.
I downloaded a file explorer and tried finding them but no such luck..
Does anybody know where to find them on my phone? And if not, where to find them on the internet?
Thanks so much!

Didn't check if these are the correct ones since I'm only posting on my g2 right now but if not, reply here and I'll look into ripping apart a stock'ish desire z rom to find them
Thank you for that link! I downloaded the file and looked through it but I'm afraid these are the ones I'm not looking for (the HTC Hub ones) but if you could look if you can find them in the stock-file your phone I'd be ever so grateful!
Thanks in advance
I downloaded a few "desire Z" 'ish roms and apparently none of them have the pictures that you are requesting. I'm not sure if there is one, but you, or someone kind enough on the forums could provide me with a link to a stock rom to the desire z that doesn't require an exe/updater software installer, I could rip the wallpapers from it.
Ah right! Thats a shame! I wouldnt know for the life of me how to rip a rom from my phone so if anyone else has one, that'd be great! Maybe I could even ask my boyfriend to send them via bluetooth, if that is possible in the first place.

Change the default filename for photos taken with the camera!!
Does anyone know how i can change the taken images from the camera to be named according to the date like yyyy_mm_dd or yyyymmdd cause the way it does name them image## is not good for me cause i take different kind of pics...i have them organized into folders and when i put them there the camera will take again pics with the same counter and i should rename them manually...i'd like to have them named according to date cause this way they are arranged better too....

p.s. just bought mine and haven´t unrooted it yet. So far.
Don't know how to change this format :/
PS. You've got to wait for root.
I have two pictures that are shot one right after the other in the same location seconds apart. In one I'm blinking and in the other my kid is not looking. I would like to combine them into one picture.
I know I saw a commercial, for I believe an S4, that can do this from your phone. Does anyone know the name of the app. I can't find it. (android)
I have an older version of photoshop elements of someone knows of a way to do it on Windows, or a free download, as well. It appeared that it would be a lot of work on there. The versions that appear to have this feature are newer, so I'd have to do it the old way.
I tried to find a Picasa app on the android phone and failed with that. Have yet to go back and check into that on Windows. Any advice is great, thanks!
I
No advice, eh?
Thanks for the pm Kennyg
