TRICK:Want to get rid of the pics u use for your contacts???

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GOAL OF THIS TRICK:get rid of the pictures (that are used for the contacts in the fonebook) in the "my pictures" folder.(and create the "gost-pics" )

NOTE: this trick only deletes them from the folder, not from the fone. pictures stay in the fonebooks contact, even when fone has been turned off. So they still use memory of the fone, there is NO memory increase/decrease. the picture is now stored in the contact only but still uses memory.

How to do this
:arrow:
1) link the picture to the contact (as u normally do)
2) go to the "my pictures" folder and select the picture
3) press "more"
4) select "rotate"
5) after this just delete the picture :arrow: it won't tell you "picture is in use" anymore.
6)IMPORTANT do the following for every contact on which you apply this trick(reason: see NOTE 2)
:arrow: go to the contact and select "see contact" you'll notice this takes a while (fone is installing the picture again).
7) there's the picture!

NOTE 2: important: when fonememory= full !dont do this! : delete a picture (that is linked with a contact),put the memory full again, then check the contact :arrow: The fone will load the picture in a sort of not accessible memory, you are able to delete that picture from the contact but not from the fone (it's gone but there is NO memory increase after deleting it. youre stuck with a picture you can't see!!! (happened to me...)

Thanks! good idea

so what's the point if you are going to get stuck with a picture you can't see in the end? I mean what if you no longer want a pic? How will you delete it?

well you did not read what hi said!

Posted by sn3ipen
I cant understand whats the point is other then if you think that t610 have to big memory.

Posted by ares
The people who jocked with this trick are so f..... Ignorant! Did you read it? The sole purpose of this trick is removing the thumbnails of caller photos from the images folder, while they will still appear when the contacts call. For people with lots of photos assigned to contacts it becomes difficult to browse that folder to search the "normal" photos, gifs or walpapers

Posted by djpowelly
And the point?!?

Posted by Cesar_Barba
Well, I'm thinking that if at a later date you really want to delete these pictures, all you have to do is erase their links to their contacts. Like Arez said, it makes the browsing of other pictures much easier when you have lots of pictures for your contacts, and the pictures of your contacts still appear when you get calls from them (with the exception of blocked numbers). Of course, that means that if you do this, and then unlink the pictures from their contacts, then you lose said pictures for good. If you do not want to lose those pictures, then just don't erase them from your Pictures folder.
This was a trick that Arez posted, and like everything else, if you don't want to do it, then, well.....
Don't.

@cesar, you said it all

@djpowelly, well??? Do you know how to read??? Let me re-phrase it: do you understand what you read???

Posted by Stales
lol yeah ok

Posted by Ayush
But what do ya mean by rotate?

Posted by MaThIbUs
Rotate the picture 90 degrees. I don't think the T3xx can do this, Ayush.

This may be useful for the T610, why not just create a new folder for contact pictures on the K700i?

on another note, I'd assume you would simply delete the pic by going into the contact's entry after it had been magically "re-installed"

Posted by ares
This trick is only for t610/t630/z600...there´s no need for this in the k700/z1010/s700 because you are able to make different folders for your images...

Posted by BOOYAR
Why is this useful

Posted by ares
here we go again...do you know how to read??? Then read all the posts in this thread and stop asking stupid questions

Posted by kimcheeboi

Am i the only one who thinks its quite a decent trick? Thanks pal.

Posted by ricardoln2
i think its a good trick too. btw if u want to assign a new picture later can u delete the contact, create a new 1 exactly the same and then assign the new pic?

thanks for the tip

Posted by lexy
but why in my phone (z600) "rotate" is greyed/disable ?

Posted by ares
It´s only available when editing photos right after taking them with the phones camera

Posted by lexy
so.. means that the trick doesn't apply on current stored pictures ?
