Screenshots are not saving properly? - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently I have noticed that my screenshots do not save properly anymore because my phone apparently forgets to add the ".jpg" at the end of the file name. At least, that's what I think is the issue? Whenever I send over those screenshots to my computer, they are unrecognizable until I add the ".jpg" at the end.
Not sure if anyone else has had this problem but I kind of wanted to fix it if possible because it's kind of annoying

They are actually stored in PNG format but adding .jpg will launch your photo viewer which is smart enough to know how to load it. It is hard to tell by that image if the files truly have no extension because you don't have extensions turned on in Windows. Does My Files show them without extensions?

Oh! JPG was just the first extension so I didn't know XD; But yeah, before I rename the file manually, the file is unrecognizable and my PC had no idea what to do with it S:

possible to attach multiple files at once to an email?

Am I missing something, or is the process for adding email attachments just horrible?
Just now, I'm specifically trying to email a few photos at a time.
If I try and do it from File Explorer - when you highlight more than one file, the "Send" option in the menu isn't available.
If I try and use Total Commander, the only option is to send via IR.
If I try and do it from within the 'compose email' screen:
a) if I try Insert -> Picture, I can't select mutiple files. And it takes me to the devices "My Pictures" folder every time and all my images are stored on storage card, so it's a real hassle having to go back and forth.
b) if I try Insert -> File, it takes me to this HORRIBLE "Open" page which seems to be attempting (and FAILING!) to show all the files on my device in one window. And even then, you STILL can't select multiple files.
Is there any way to do this?
(Very weird - and annoying - for a business device to fail so badly at something like this. Unless I'm missing something!!)
Thanks, M
To the best of my knowledge, you are doing everything right. I don't think there's a way to select multiple files to attach all in one go.
What I normally do if I want to attach multiple files, I use Resco Explorer to compress the files into a zip. Then I attach the single zip file instead.
Thanks ohyeahar. I'd thought of that - and may still use this method at points - but there are times when it'd be good to use single files as well. (e.g. uploading photos to facebook, they have to be single jpg files)
Just seems terrible that such a basic functionality is left out.

In Resco explorer if you slide your finger over the icons, it makes multi-selection. Just if you missed it.

Can I hide/lock files

Hello people,
I have a HTC Desire, a friend of mine is interesting in getting one for himself, he has aksed me a question but I don't know the answer so I thought I would ask here.
Basically what we want to know is it possible to hide files on the HTC Desire. Can this be done with or without using an app, if it can be done without an app howso. If I need an app, which one. Not sure if he wants to lock/hide or files to show under a fake name, can this be done.
His concern is that becuase of the way Android is all files would show up if someone was to look up the stuff on the phone/SD card.
Not sure if this makes sense
Thanks in advance for any help.
download filebro lite
Thanks for the prompt reply. Does this hide files. I think my friend wants to be able to hide any file. Also prevent certain media files from showing open when you open the image viewer/music player/video player etc
What I do to keep Gallery from listing my pornstars photos from it is:
With file manager (any, there are a bunch in the market) I created a hidden directory (any file/folder starting with period is hidden, so I named the folder .porn) and the gallery cannot see it. If I want to see the content of that dir, I start the file manager and browse in that directory.

[Q] Mac user can't do VERY simple but important thing

om, so i am a semi-advanced user, and i am trying to make a flashable zip. i have everything down, but when i try to change the update script from .txt to no extention so it could be read, nothing happens. i have tried three different ways (simply deleting .txt, right click to get info and changing there, mv command in terminal) and it always opens as a txt file. the extention name is gone, but it acts like a txt still. i have tried flashing, and it doesnt work (update script error). plz help me!!!!
27 views but no replies? A simple I don't know would be better than nothing so i can stay on the first page. Plz help I need it...
Im clueless on this one.
THANK YOU! Finally somebody replies
Are you sure you completely removed the .txt suffix? In Finder preferences do you have the checkbox for "Show all Application extensions" checked or unchecked? Make sure it is checked and then remove the .txt suffix again from the file.
Because Macs still show the .txt extension even when this box is unchecked, it is easy to think it was removed it when in actuality it was not. The reason behind this is that on Macs there is often a double .txt extension
You should be able to do it this way...
click on the file, then go to the Action menu (the button that looks like a gear up in the Finder window’s toolbar), and choose Create Archive from there. Either way, it quickly creates a new file, with the file extension “.zip.”
You can also compress several different files (like three, for example) into one single archive file — just Command-click (or Shift-click contiguous files) on all the files you want included, then choose Create Archive of X Items from the Action menu.
I know this is the "ghetto" way but if you have a hosting service you can just upload it, click rename, then wipe out the .txt
Thanks olcowicz and rutter. Ca million I am not trying to make a zip. Thanks anyways.
Thanks everyone for all your help.

Hide clock/time under TouchFlo 3D

Does anyone know how to hide the HTC clock (not flipping it up to make it smaller) completely while keeping TouchFlo3D activated?
I want the home screen has has completely nothing on it to show the whole wallpaper.
freshgear.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/htc-touch-hd-screen-main.jpg
Like from the picture above, I want to hide:
The Time (10:20)
The date
The alarm off text
The call history and calander text
So just a blank screen w/o anything while keeping TouchFLO3D running.

You can use TouchFlo Detacher to assign operations (show/hide/close)
Hi
what you have to do is,you have to change 17 manila files to transparency and the mode9 file 1c684cd8_manila.I did it already for you,because I changed my homescreen too.Important is,go in you phone windows directory (Windows) and save all the files what you will overwrite with this procedure to you computer to be on the save side,because it could be you change you mind sometimes,and you never know what could get wrong.If not,you will have to make a hard reset with you phone to go back to you original state,copy all the files in your PHONE WINDOWS DIRECTORY (WINDOWS)

Are all the files from your ZIP stored under a specific folder in Windows? I browsed the Windows folder in my phone and found the exact file names that matched the ones you have attached, but they are not in PNG (all the files just have a Windows icon), are those the ones?
Hi
I'v got something better for you,use the cfc_gui tool from chainfire,what you have to do is,copy all manila files to you computer,open it up with the cfc_gui tool,it takes a couble a secound to open it, in this tool you will then find all you manila files,if you tick of one file you will see all his content,size,name and picture, you can than save each one on you computer separately and work or change something on it with photoshop or others, if you in the cfc_gui tool go to the (home\vga files) because that a the files for the clock,if you make all the files transparent than the clock will disappear,you can do a lot with this tool,of course you have to be connectet with you phone to the computer to save the alteret files back again to you phone,and don't worry this tool save all you files to the right place in you phone if you use the cfc_gui tool than you don't need the zip file any more you can choose you own method and do what you want, underneath the download link.

I think I cannot use this method because I do not use a Windows computer and cannot connect between computer and phone.
Basically, I just need the things highlighted in neon green in the attached photo to disappear while keeping everything unchanged.
From your first method, I found the files that you put in the ZIP under my phone's Windows folder, but the ones in the phone's Windows folder are not PNGs.
Can you confirm if those are the correct files to replace?
Also, if I just need the few things from the attached photo to disappear, do I have to replace every file with the ones from your ZIP?
Hi
to you first question:how do you copy the files in you phone without computer
to you secound question:that what you highlighted on you phone that is exactly the 17 manila files,you will find in the new zip files the description of all the manila files
to you third question:the manila files a all alteret from PNG to QTC otherwise it would nothing happen when you copy them to the win directory,it was my mistake I should have mention it early in the post before, apology for that
to you fourth question:use the files in the new zip for what I will make a download link underneath thats the right files
to you fifth question:yes all the few things on you photo is all the 17 manila files, look in the description in the new zip file you will see that you need all the files,it is all explaind
something else use the mode9 file 16c84cd8_manila only if you can still someting see on you clock and screen
as you can see on my homescreen no clock

To answer your question, I only use bluetooth to transfer files between my computer and phone.
By replacing the files with ones above, will it cause any problem if my ROM isn't english?
Is there a quicker way to backup all 18 original files in case someday I want the clock back, instead of copying one after one from the Windows folder?
Just to confirm, your ZIP above has 18 files (excluding the capture.PNG)
One last question, how do make the menu bar transparent (like from your home screen above) and change all the icons at the bottom of the screen?
Hi
no it cause no problems for you ROM,
no quicker way to copy files from you win phone folder,if you would have a connection to you phone via computer it would take a few secound to copy,
zip files have 18files 17 manila and one mode9 file,+PNG
for you last question:to get the transparency for the taskbar I cooked it in my ROM after that I flashed it to my phone,I'v got a cab file that promised to do that same with the taskbar,I never try it because I cooked it already in my ROM,if you want to try it I will make a download link, if it dosen't work you can delete it again from you device,to the icons you can use the HDWall tool to create the icons

RAW image download

Okay, so, I may be missing something here. How do I get the RAW images do pull from the phone. My Mackbook can only see the jpegs?
Thanks for any advice.
I think it's the ....dng file in the DCIM/100MEDIA folder
Exactly, but for some reason my Macbook can't see the DNG files? I've tried importing through iPhoto and it only see's the jpegs?
Sounds like it's an issue with your Mac. I don't think you can import .dng's via iPhoto. I don't have a Mac so I can't give specific instructions, but can you browse your phone's internal storage via Finder like you can in Windows? I would just manually copy the files.
Otherwise, I would imagine Adobe Lightroom should be able to import the .dng's off the phone.
