Hello to All
As you noted, the version TT7.915.9196
includes that can navigate to pictures GEO Tagg
With this guide, you can use the function without having to use HTC FootPrint:
Create a folder named GEO-PHOTOS in ROOT
your SD
Open your camera and take a picture with the "GPS Photo"
Copy your photos in the GEO-PHOTOS
Start the TT7.915, navigate to ... and your picture will appear!
This all works on my HTC HD and it works
To find your photo, if you have to save the picture in SD,
out by the function of the camera, you will find the photos in My Document / My POI
That's very interesting. Should be usefull, but still there is no posibility to save current position.

wow - works like a charm, thank you very much
Perhaps worth mentioning for the uninitiated that (I presume) you will need to have GPS Photo enabled in the registry to be able to take those pictures in the first place.

Simply enable even with HD Tweak
Is there a way to get navigate to contact back instead of the picture?
I have Blackstone and Raphael.
Navigate to picture is cool but I have all my business client adresses and often service there computers.

Dear alesscam,
I have installed TT7.915 successfully on my HD. It works fine. Gets GPS fix quicker than TT7.10. I am keen to get the geo-photo function working.
I did not use the cab file to install, but copied all the files into the existing Navigator folder (from TTV7.910 install). Could I have a missing registry entry?
I have followed your guide and created a GEO-PHOTOS in the root of the HD memory.
I have GPS Photo enabled via HD Tweak.
I made sure that the GPS was on and had a fix prior to taking a photo with the on board camera.
I copied the photo to the GEO-PHOTOS folder.
Started TT and went to navigate to - Photos.
tapped the icon. No photo is displayed.
What am I doing wrong?
You mention SD. Exactly what are you referring to?
When I look at the folder where the photo is, it contains my photo as well as a file called thumbs_geo.dat I think this the geo code data required by TT to locate the picture on its map.
Thank you for sharing and looking forward to your help.
Best wishes,
David

Not sure if you got it working already. You are suppose to create the folder in ROOT of your memory card and not HD memory.

Big Thanks!
it works on my Xperia X1
Can anyone tell me the easiest way to view thumbnails of images in a folder and then be able to bluetooth them from there, since HTC album doesnt have a send via bluetooth option and both file viewers I have dont display thumbnail previews (the std file explorer that comes with Dutty's 1.8 XTREME ROM and the latest resco file explorer)
I'm aware of the preview image function in the std file explorer but it seems pretty useless without a D-PAD as there is no way to highlight a file without fully opening it.
Sorry if this has been posted before - I have been searching all morning for an answer and can't seem to find anything.
bump
anyone any ideas?
Have you tried the built in picture viewer. Not htc album but the winmo one? That allows to view thumbs and then send. Or theres an extension for the basic file explorer that previews images on here... cant remember the name but you could search for it.
the winmo picture viewer is exactly what i was after, hadnt tried that one, thank u v much!
Hi,
i am new to this forum, and been recommended it by a work colleague, however i did find it a few weeks ago and wa svery impressed with the detailed content.
I'm bluetooth stuff from my old handset to the new HTC Touch HD, but where does it go via default.. i've done a seach on the explorer icon, but no luck.
Can you change the default folder and can you add new folders and edit them to the explorer.
Sorry if this is too much bumped into 1 thread.
Thanks
Andrew
My documents, by default. But pictures can be redirected to my pictures etc...
I think you can use HD Tweak or Advanced Config to reassign folder locations possibly also for Bluetooth files.
When looking for my first android phone, I kept reading how documents to go was the best office app for android.
I've never even heard of the Thinkfree Office app that comes with the SGS. So, does anyone have any experience as to which one is better?
Think Free Office is the only productivity suite i've ever used on any android.
I think I wont move away from that suite that easily because I feel its the best suite ever created.
I have tried and tested DOC/PDF/XLS files and the experience was awesome! 10/10!
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-qo-android-am3-jjzxj.aspx
This looks like a contender for sure!
Thinkfree office has been really good in my limited use. I can't imagine documents to go being much better
Thinkfree is the fastest pdf viewer (faster than the Adobe one, with better reflow), and the xls viewer is also the best I've seen (it can work with recursive iterations within formulas, which quickoffice cannot).
Nice to have it thanks to the SGS...
In purchasing my SGS, ThinkFree has been perhaps the biggest (nice) surprise. In viewing word docs alone it displays all text, fonts, bold, margins tabs etc etc very well. can view & save in docx file types & the degree of editing caperbilities I've found to be very thorough.
Still can't beleive this program comes free with the phone. It really is excellent. Haven't fully tried excell or powerpoint docs yet but certainly the word is second to none.
I tried out some of the other office apps yesterday (documents to go, quickoffice etc), but came away with the impression that thinkfree was still the most functional and well rounded of the lot.
Much kudos to samsung and thinkfree for providing this app to us!!!
EDIT: Actually, I just tried quickoffice 3. I'd say it's pretty much on par with thinkfree, except thinkfree can edit ppt and quickoffice can't afaik.
hey, why is it when i zoom pdf files, the texts are blur
before it's finished the progress, the texts were fine but when the progress was done, it's blur.
ps: it's only happen when i'm viewing a map pdf files, (adobe reader in pc works well but not in thinkfree)
Slightly off topic, but is it possible to have 'talk and type' style input on any of the office apps?
It would be cool to work on documents on the go without typing.
thinkfree office is more than enough for regular use..
Does anybody else have the same problem while reading PDF in Reading view that letters are really small even at the highest zoom level (100%) ?
For reading PDF Files i think Adobe Reader is much better than ThinkFree Office. In Adobe reader i can easely open a Map with 76MB and scroll and zoom very fast. ThinkFree Office takes about 2 minutes just to open the File and even in this case it´s almost impossible to scroll or zoom in the map.
For Office Documents it´s very fast and stable but for reading big PDF Files i recommend Adobe Reader.
Am I the only one who is greatly disappointed by this application?
Apart from the simple fact that the pdf viewer clears the viewed pages out of the memory even when just scrolling down a bit, or the fact that the pdf viewer is awfully slow and just doesn't load all pages (on my end it just loads one or two visible pages and lags when scrolling to a non-loaded one), it takes an awful long time to start the different components.
Also, copy and paste function was made as difficult as possible, I still find myself unable to select and copy the text on my own rather than picking one of the "selection presets", which take a few too many clicks to reach for my taste....
And maybe it's just me, but the powerpoint editor completely kills my slide layout. On windows mobile I didn't have so extremely wrong renderings.
Another quite stupid limitation is the lack of different file formats to save inside the word app (only docx, seriously?!).
This app really makes me wish my old Touch Pro2 wasn't broken...
About comparisons... I still wait for documents to go 3.0 to release.
Edit: granted, things like bad pdf reader go certainly for all pdf readers out there atm.

Problems with Thinkfree Office
Hi,
Thinkfree office looks great in the begining. but there are some basic issues I dont know where I am going wrong:
1. Throws exception when trying to open a password protected docx
2. Sometimes fails to open attachment files which opens perfectly on my laptop
Anybody knows something about it?
Does ThinkFree support pinch zoom and text reflow on the Desire? I have tested it on a Galaxy and it works AOK but I have heard that some apps work differently on some phones, and I just want to make sure that it works the same way on the Desire before I buy one.
Thanks all!
Hi!
I had a "classic" android ROM, and it had ThinkFree office application.
I installed a new Rom (InDroid 5.1), and it has no TF O.
Can anybody give me a link, where I can find it? I read two books with the help of TF O, and reading is much more difficult with Adobe reader, or Polaris office.
Thanks all!

Can you not simply re-download the app from Market?
I think ezPdfReader is faster.
Maybe I have a bad day today, but I HAVE NO IDEA how to set this thing up.
Just don't get it.

Thanks! It's actually either fast neither easy.
I mean NOBODY would find it itself.
I've had a great hope can get all the bookmarks from IE to my device
but it's apparently not going to happen.
Luckily we have a great OperaLink..
Thank you anyway!

The purpose for these types of apps isn't really to send yourself a bookmark for a main website, but more to send a complicated link to save you typing in a 180 character or so URL into your HD7, or having to open up your email and copy / paste a link to yourself (spamming your own email in the process).
For example; I'm on my PC browsing deviant art and I see a cool image that would make a great lockscreen wallpaper for my HD7. I right click somewhere on the page, select "Send to Windows Phone". I pick up my phone, open the "Send to WP7" app, and there's my link to that page. I can now use that image as my wallpaper.
Similarly, if you're reading an article on some website and you've got to get to work but want to finish reading that article on the bus, just send it to yourself with this app and easily pick up the same page on the bus!
It's an incredibly handy and ingenious app in my opinion... with lots of ingenious uses if you can think them up.
I sent a question to the dev that I haven't seen an update for - how to remove those darned links when you're done with them. Until then, the app is useless for me, but it does have potential...

There is now an alternative paid-for app called Browser to WP7 that works on the same idea except it allows links and text to be deleted. It also categorises them in the app and allows you to share them by sms, email, search with bing etc.
I'm waiting to see if Send to WP7 gets any future updates because it's currently free and works pretty well for me.

Hey guys - never noticed this thread until today. I am the author of Send to WP7.
Send to WP7 has the ability to delete links (as of the update several days ago - I was stuck in limbo for several weeks. )
Multi-delete is coming in an application update next week.
Send to WP7 has a live tile # indicating how many links you need to download to the phone. You can already send a link via SMS or Email, just tap and hold, select 'Show All', and then click the mail icon. I'll add more options to the 'right-click' menu soon. I didn't think there was much of a reason for things like 'Search with Google' or 'Search With Bing' (wouldn't you have just done these things on your PC anyway?), but I may add things like that in the future.
Send to WP7 will remain free.
Apologies to the OP for not understanding how to setup the software, I still assert that it is not very complicated if you just read the instructions carefully. I do think I need some updates/screenshots to the setup page, though. On that note, I was never able to figure out how to configure 'Browser to WP7' to use anything but Chrome...
I thought it was simple to use and easy to setup but then again I've been using Chrome to Phone for ages with my Desire now.
hi davux,

will be great ^_^
i still dreaming can send picture from my browser to wp7 .

I ve installed send to wp7 on my phone, configured iexplorer and it works fine. I ve also installed the desktop version, managed to send a note to my phone, but when i try send sms or email nothing happens. Any clues?

Hi cxkx -
Note that Send to WP7 Desktop is an alpha release, I have not built any functionality into the phone app to support it yet. In it's current state, it is best for transferring files. Sending an SMS or Email does "work", but you'll then have to tap & hold the item and select Send via mail. The real name for these items should be something like "prepare SMS/mail."
Again just note that this is all in flux, but I wanted to get it out there so those who really wanted the functionality could have it immediately.

I don't quite understand, how do i send an sms? Press the button on the desktop app, nothing happens, am I supposed to write a txt file, send to phone and then send as sms? will the txt file be read and added or will it be an attachment?

Yes, you enter a message (and optionally a destination contact number, but this won't work until I add support into the phone app itself) and click send. The message is sent to your phone using exactly the same means as the note. If you have enabled push notifications, you'll get a toast. Tap and hold the entry on the phone, and select 'Send info via SMS'. It is not the most elegant procedure, I know...
I ve tried sending the clipboard contents but it didnt work, anything I copy in iexplorer though can be send, maybe a plain html page where you can write and then send using the accelerator will do the trick. Keep on the good work!

"It didn't work" is not useful for anyone trying to solve any kind of problem. If you'd like help in configuring the desktop software (I suspect that is the only problem you're having), email me the log (located at %localappdata%\sendtowp7desktop\log.txt) to dave at dave amenta dot com.

I'm not sure why it says the program is executing from C:\Windows\system32, maybe that is related. Usually ClickOnce will set that to your profile (e.g. C:\Users\CK)
It appears that you're getting jumplist callbacks for sending notes, but nothing else - they all use exactly the same mechanism so I'm not sure what'd cause that. It appears you are using a localized version of Windows, what language/locale are you using?
