The Babynous Cult - 28 Apr 2004 10:57 GMT  Signature hi hi hi...!!!
You know how when you take a picture and you want to make it into a Desktop 'ScreenSaver' and instead of filling the screen, it only takes up about 2/3's of the screen...!!!
i have MIRACULOUSLY ( how could i have done this...??? ) figured out how to do this...!
you know how you can go to the Pictures menu... and then to Online pictures... that ( FAWKING INCREDIBLY ) IS NOT...!!!...THE TRUE ONLINE PICTURES REPOSITORY...!!!
Sprint is so Crazzzzzy...!!!
this is how you do it.
How To Move a Picture to The Full Screen Take a Picture with the Cell Phone Keep It Go to Options Upload Upload This [ Exit to Main Screen ] [ Go to Web ] [ Go to http://pictures.sprintpcs.com ] [ Enter Phone Number ] [ Enter PictureArea Password ] do you know what that is...??? ScrollDown to Submit [ Find Picture in Uploaded File ] ScrollDown to Menu Download Picture back to your Cell Phone Use Assign ScreenSaver Save
NOT OOONNNLLLYYY does it fill the entire screen, but it looks like ( ??? ) the picture is BIGGER than the picture you took... THAT IS; the picture you took, and can email to yourself, has had the edges trimmed back a little... the screen saver picture that this technique uses seems to 'recall' a wider, taller picture...???

Bob Smith - 28 Apr 2004 14:35 GMT You really are taking the scenic route to get that picture back onto your phone. Once you've uploaded it to your picture vault, just hit the back button, till the three options of Camera, Picture Wallet, and Online Pictures. Scroll down to Online Pictures, click OK, and you go right into your vault to select a picture to download to your phone. No need to plug in URLs, user names, telephone numbers or passwords.

???
the trouble with going to the Online Pictures area, from the Pictures menu, is that ( on my phone ) it doesn't have the 'download' selection... i forget what the menu selections are right off the top of my head, and since the whole site is 'down' i can't check it... i'm pretty sure that it can't be done that way... have you actually loaded a successful full screen picture to the 'desktop' using that method...???

I have absolutely no clue what you are trying to say here. My picture vault is up and running nicely, via accessing it through my phone. Are you talking about accessing your picture vault through a computer or a phone. My directions above were for accessing the vault with your phone.
> ??? > > the trouble with going to the Online Pictures area, from the > Pictures menu, is that ( on my phone ) it doesn't have the > 'download' selection... It does on my phone. Once I access the picture vault by my phone, the last picture uploaded shows up first. I scroll down and there is a download option. If I choose to download that picture, it comes back to the phone and put into the download section, and then into pictures. I can go into that section and assign that picture to a phone book entry or make it a screensaver.

If you want to transfer the picture in your vault to your computer, then all you do is access the vault on line with your computer, plugging in the necessary passwords. Once you are into your vault, find the picture you want, click it once to increase the size, then right click on it, and "Save Picture as" to your computer.

My > directions above were for accessing the vault with your phone. I don't get this "hack" thing, Bob, but I saw this last night around 4:10am. It is true. Sprint took down part of the online picture handling system for maintainance. I could still upload pictures, but viewing my online pictures did not work. This was, of course, a temporary condition, and the error messages I got took pains to make that clear. -mike

still though... it IS Awkward that you'd have to ( in both versions ) to upload a picture to the web site, and then download it back to the phone before it will fill the whole desktop...
another feature that would be fabulous in the computer accessed version, of picture modifiers... would be increase the pictures contrast...!
what is your: Phone Info / Version / Software mines : 1.115SP on an 8100 Hardware is 0103 / PRL 10023 / PRI 0x1a09 Browser 20030522Rel-v002a-8100 / Gateway Primary 68.28.31 1

It can be reached directly @ https://pictures.sprintpcs.com/login.jsp . If you have your computer set to save passwords, etc. It should show your name in the top right section of the webpage.
> still though... it IS Awkward that you'd have to ( in both > versions ) to upload a picture to the web site, and then > download it back to the phone before it will fill the whole desktop... See, here's what makes you sound confused. When you say desktop, that's sounds like your computer monitor. If you mean the phone display, just say phone display.
> another feature that would be fabulous in the computer > accessed version, of picture modifiers... would be increase > the pictures contrast...! You can lighten or darken the picture, but no, you can't adjust the contrast.
