Found this little tutorial and works wonders. I like having direct access to images/video taken from my devices, even if I can't access my email. Also Dropbox has that new "instant" feature they just rolled out, so give this a try http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/viri8/cerberus_to_dropbox/
Visit www.sendtodropbox.com and connect your Dropbox account, then you will be given a unique email address [email protected], save the email address.

Make sure you have these settings setup for the next step
Head to gmail and go to settings….forwarding and POP/IMAP…click on add forwarding address….use the email you were provided with earlier from www.sendtodropbox.com
In your Dropbox account you will have a plain text attachment with your conformation code to activate the forwarding of email.
Now head over to filters and create a new filter
The label setting is optional, but make sure you have the "forward it to" checked and select the email address you added earlier
Your filter should look like this
Finally head back to www.sendtodropbox.com and save these settings, you can arrange the "attributes" and "save to" as you please…hit save settings
Now head over to www.cerberusapp.com and test that it works, I just did send test message and upon dismiss it takes a pictures, then my Dropbox syncs the image.
Also Cerberus has a new beta https://www.cerberusapp.com/Cerberus_2.3beta.apk
adds these features:
Stealthy photo/video capture
There is a new "Transparent" option for the "Screen color" setting in the app configuration. When it's selected, if you send a "Take picture" or "Capture video" command from the web dashboard, checking the "Take picture/capture video immediately" option, you should not see anything on the device while Cerberus captures the photo/video.
SMS command to enable data roaming
The syntax is "cerberus yourpassword enableroaming", it should work only if Cerberus is integrated into the ROM.
Put call on speakerphone
When you open the test dashboard (link below), you'll see a new "Put on speakerphone" option in the "Call phone" command. Checking that option should make Cerberus enable the speakerphone and make the call. This could be useful to draw attention on the device if you lose it, other than the the alarm siren.

Though the SMS/Call function is best for smartphone, the stealth photo capture is cool

Just inspirated by the first trailer of T4
www.terminatorsalvation.com
(btw: who's afraid the next movie? ;-) )
I've made a new notification of message.
It covers and manipulates of whole screen of any Windows Mobile device
(PPC or Smartphone), no matter what is on the screen,
at the moment when the new message received.
I like the idea of this trailer, when title music and video frames, try to break our normally wathed screen.
It's fun to have something similar in personal computer. To have some spice in mobile device.
Of course, if we aren't afraid, this will happen in the future. For real.
So, this notification replaces the default notification of message,
in a style of the above T4 trailer.
Several screen deformations and manipulations are built-in.
Below screenshots are samples only.
In reality, the smooth animation of visual effect is playing,
together with the title sounds (music).

It plays a sound, only when your Profile allows you, and the alerts volume is more than zero.
Functions:
You can switch directly from this notification to reply to the Sender of message: UP/DOWN KEY or TAP-MOVE vertically.
You can switch directly from this notification to the Inbox: LEFT/RIGHT KEY or TAP-MOVE horizontally.
You can play the notification again: ACTION.
To close this notification: ANY OTHERS buttons, or just tap on the screen anywhere.
Because of Warnerbros. copyright, I realized this version as freeware.
And I have no deal with them.
Another way, I think this is a good example,
how the advertising could be positioned (placed) into mobile devices, without users action needs.
This program (notification) user installs on your device, and that's all.
There is no settings, no user-enable application, no dialog, nothing to use.
Then user will not see any icon or running program.
It displays on the screen, and become enabled, only when new message is incoming.
Imagine, the top content of this notification could be downloaded from some network server,
and automatically. What I have not included in this version.
Finally, it displays the last received message (scrolled up from the bottom of screen).
In the background, it displays (some time) a Sender photo, if it's found in your Contacts.
The above screenshot is just a sample, you will see there some photo from your Contact.
And the text of message will scroll up from the bottom of screen, till a whole message will display.
Eeee... freeware files:
http://www.jgui.net/t4.notification/T4.NOTIFICATION.SETUP.exe
http://www.jgui.net/t4.notification/T4.NOTIFICATION.SETUP.cab
(please do not copy theses files, only link to these url if you want)
Due to reason of notification, it's recommended to install in main memory.
This is alpha version, I just tested in a few devices a week only.
I don't know if everything is fixed there now. Please try.
Uninstaller is included.
You cannot just break this notification. You have to unistall.
Everytime I open an email with images the only thing that shows are the X's to where the images are. How do I make the images show when I open an email. I want to read it the way I would see it on the PC.
My BB 8900 showed the images as long as I clicked on show images. High Tech Computer phone should be having these problems.
I think It's bacause pocket oulook doesn't support HTML. IMHO
Even if I'm using GMail and AIM mail?

Huh? POutlook supports HTML just fine!
I had the very same problem a while back on my TYTNII, I got round it by installing Schap's Advanced Config and setting the Proxy Auto Detection from disabled to enabled under Internet Explorer settings.
Schap's Advanced Config can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151
I downloaded it and did what you said. I even did a soft reset and I re opened my email and the images still don't show.

Did you retry downloading the images in POutlook? Does Internet Explorer work OK? I found that Internet Explorer wouldn't download images corretly when POutlook wasn't working... That's how I found they were linked.
Daft question - you have got POutlook settings set up for HTML and to actually download the message and not just the header haven't you??
I have no idea what you are talking about. All I did was set up my Gmail and Aim email on the device. No images are showing in either accounts. I never set up an POutlook or whatever that is.
Do you get an image placeholder [x] where the image should be? Do you also get a notification bar at the top of this message?

Mesquire,
Yes that's exactly what I see when I open up my emails.
Are you able to click on "Internet pictures blocked" to download the images for your email?
Never tried actually, but what if I can and what if I can't?
If you can: the behaviour is by design
This is similar to Microsoft Outlook/Outlook Express/Vista's Windows Mail/Windows Live Mail - images embedded into a HTML email are blocked initially.
So how do I get it to work correctly? Is your HTML blocked?
Anyone else HTML blocked?
Just tested using Gmail's IMAP access. Embedded images are blocked, as usual, with [x]. Click on "Internet pictures blocked" and images are downloaded to show the HTML email in all its glory.
Yeah I just checked and it's all good now. Thanks!
The misses has just received here DHD and found that the standard HTC People manager only shows the address in a small scrollable field and it's really awkward to see the full address at a glance.
Does anyone have any ideas how to make the address easily visible?
Or an alternative contact manager app?
I'll post screen shots later if it'll help.
I had a quick surf earlier and couldn't find any info that was helpful...
So we can view a complete contract address, does anyone know how to get the standard Contact viewer to replace HTC's?
HTC Contact Address is truncated on a single line e.g.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Android Contact Address is shown over several lines e.g.
Excuse the pic's, they're for illustration purposes only.
I had the same problem with my last phone - a Nokia E71. You had to hit 'edit' to view the address in a seperate window. A pain in the posterior! And, like you, I've noticed that the HTC People app does the same thing. So you can either a) use the 'edit' mode or b) tap the address, it comes up on Google maps, tap the flag and then the full address pops up. Doh ....
Thing is, with the more basic Nokias, and I've just checked with the wife's 2730 Classic, you can use the 'View' option to look at the complete address. If the address was so long it wouldn't fit on one screen then you just scroll down. Simples! Now, how can Android do the same?
Dave
Same problem with birthday... Can't see the year until you edit it, annoying
OK. Been looking into this as I was getting a bit hacked off with it. Something so basic .... Anyhow, downloaded 'AddressBook for Android 2' and at first it looked quite good but soon noticed it had no 'comapny' field ... But you could view the complete address in a single window.
Then tried Youlu. Now this seems to meet all my needs (at present anyway!). It gives all the same info as the 'people' app but when you choose the address you get ..... the full postal address!!!! Only then, if you tap the address you get Google maps showing where it is.
HTH
Dave
Thanks for the suggestions, although I don't see many favourable reviews for Youlu - how have you found it?
I sent this issue to HTC a few weeks back. Maybe if more of us do the same they may consider addressing it (if you'll pardon the pun) in a future update.
I'm getting a little fed-up with having to consider using 3rd party apps to replace basic functionality. I'm using Handcent because Sense SMS is broken, the Sense calendar is full of holes and doesn't include tasks, so I'm looking for a replacement... And contacts (which is otherwise ok) doesn't show complete addresses!
Hi,
I may be crazy but when I try to add my Facebook account to the stock Calendar, it's just missing. I do have the facebook app installed and it does show up under Accounts & Sync, under phone settings. I've attached screenshots of both screens. Am I missing something painfully obvious?
Thanks!
Here's the Calendar add accounts screen

I'm not sure if you can add Facebook as a calendar directly like that. However, you can just add get Facebook to sync events with your Google calendar instead..nearly as good: http://www.technipages.com/add-facebook-events-to-google-calendar

Thanks. That's really useful if I want to specific events, but I'd rather something more automated, hence trying to add the account to my calendar.
Sunrise did/does it very well, but is no longer supported so I'm trying to move over to a new calendar system.
Found these instructions online. I thought someone else mind find them useful.
Go to facebook Events.
On right-hand side, under Events Happening This Week, there is a box that says:
"You can add your events to Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar or Apple Calendar. Once you add them, they'll stay updated. Learn More.
Upcoming Events · Birthdays"
Right click on Upcoming Events and open it in a new window. (I tried just right clicking the link to copy, didn't work, so did it in a new window - really the only difference from the above instructions).
Copy the link address.
Go to Google Calendar (this part is just like what they said above in other answers).
Next to Other Calendars, hit the drop-down arrow.
Click on Add by URL.
Paste the link from the new window you had opened.
