My htc bolt just started sayin the phone is encrypted ans the display is fuzzy

He has added a password to the phone. If he doesn't remember the password you may have to reset the phone if that's possible. Some won't allow a reset without the password or pass phrase.

first you go to settings, scroll down until you see language and keyboard, then it will have a option on the top saying select language.

You will be able to tell the difference when you can remove the storage card and insert it in another device or card reader. Encrypted files will be displayed as .MENC files, with the following filename convention:
[filename].[extension].[GUID].menc
The [GUID] is the encryption key that determines whether the file can be decrypted on the device where the storage card is inserted. The .menc extension is the indicator that tells whether a file is encrypted. The purpose of the extension is to indicate that you can't open those files. A Lock icon is also associated with the encrypted files.
When you insert the storage card back to your device where the files were encrypted, the [GUID] will match with the decryption key on your device and the [GUID].menc extension will not be displayed. Encrypted files will appear just like normal files and they can be opened.

Dear Friend,

Apparently the file is encrypted and can be decrypted only on the handset it was encrypted on.

To prevent getting such file type in the future, follow this procedure

Start>Settings>System Tab>Encryption

UnCheck on encryption and after this you will get only normal (Unencrypted file).

Hi,

1) Click Start
2) Click Expert
3) Click "Clear storage"

and follow on-screen instructions to reset your phone.

REMEMBER that all of your data will be deleted and the phone returns to factory deafult settings.

That should be all :)

The .menc extension is the indicator that tells whether a file is encrypted. The purpose of the extension is to indicate that you can't open those files. A Lock icon is also associated with the encrypted files.
When you insert the storage card back to your device where the files were encrypted, the [GUID] will match with the decryption key on your device and the [GUID].menc extension will not be displayed. Encrypted files will appear just like normal files and they can be opened.

Decrypting files:
To decrypt files that are encrypted, the current solution is to transfer them from the storage card to a computer via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center, and then copy them back to the storage card after the Storage Card Encryption has been disabled on the device.

1. To disable Storage Card Encryption:
2. Go to Start>Settings>System Tab>Encryption.
3. Uncheck the box that says “Encrypt files placed on the storage card.”
4. Tap OK.

i downloaded the photos from my HTC mobile to my PC, but they could not be read because they are in MENC format, so i want to convert them to JPG in my PC. how can i do this

Go to Start, Settings, System, Encryption (or someplace similar) and uncheck the “Encrypt files when placed on a storage card” box. Now all NEW files will be in-the-clear, but existing files will still be encrypted. (Don’t forget to toggle this back when you’re done if you want to.) Next, navigate to your File Explorer, then to your Storage Card. Make a new folder (name it something obvious like “Unencrypted Stuff”). Now, find whatever files you want to unencrypt and move (or copy) them into this folder. You can now pop your storage card out and read them on any other computer (or on any phone for that matter). You also freed up between 8K and 16K per encrypted file. I believe it helps. Its easy and workable. :) Cheers!!

Get a 3.5mm headphone adapter for your HTC phone. Use the line out to either a little FM transmitter (very fuzzy) or install an FM modulator in your car (better) or, if your car has one, plug directly into the AUX jack of your stereo. Google "htc 3.5mm adapter" for people who sell pre-made adapters.

Here's a fun do-it-yourself project for those of us without AUX jacks. He cuts up an HTC adapter to connect to a microphone and FM modulator so that he can make a home made speakerphone.

you probably need either a new lcd or lcd flex cable - if your under warranty send it in for repair, otherwise it will cost around $35-75 depending on problem
