Hello, any help with a little problem I have will be greatly appreciated.
Is it possible to display pictures from the internet as wallpaper?
I am trying to display pictures I have saved from the internet as my wallpaper in flip closed mode. I can save these pictures to my saved pages folder and then transfer them over to the default folders where all other pictures taken with the phone are stored, however the pictures from the net are not displayed. If I open the folder in File Manager it shows the file is there however it will not show up if I select pictures from the menu. Does anybody know why not? Because of this I am therefore unable to select the pictures to change the wallpaper.
I am also having the same problem with GIF files.
The folders used for images are different to those used by the browser. Symbian uses pretty much hardcoded paths to work out what type of object is in the file system.
Saving a page from the internet will just save .html and associated parts to the appropriate area on the phone.
You need to copy the underlying .jpg or .gif to Documents\Media files\images\unfiled (or other image folder), other extensions will not be recognised.
You can save to either C: or D:.
well I managed to do so with no effort.
opened a page, found the pic I want to save, hold the pen over the image for 2 seconds and it's saved.
then I went to the control panel, choose the diplay option, then chosen the picture I saved as a background
it's even working in FlipOpen and FlipClosed modes!
the phone resized the image to fit screen in both modes (keeping ratio)
the image was .jpg format😉
both these methods work, it just depends on whether you are using the inbuilt web browser or the computers web browser, holding the stylus over the image in the p900 will save the picture to the local disk, or you can just use the p900's pc suite browser to copy the picture into the images folder as explained above.
