Picture Slide Show on TM-150

Does anybody know if there is a program out there that will work on the TM-150 that will allow me to create a Slide Show of the pictures in my phone?

What I would really like is the ability to create multiple slide shows, Family, Friends, Cars, Planes, etc. and assign pictures to each. But even being able to scroll through my pictures without having to go back to the listing every time would be nice.

Anybody know anything that will help?

THANKS!

When you're viewing the pictures on the phone, push the up or down volume keys on the side to move to the next or previous picture. It still has to decode the picture and that can take some time depending on how big it is but that's how you can view them without having to go back to the gallery view. Does that help?

Yes, that helps...

I think I tried every button on the phone except the volume buttons. I always forget they are over there.

I can name my pictures so they show in a grouping and I will have my "Picture Show". Thanks Again!

how does naming photos show them in groupings?

I named my pictures using a lead letter. For example, all of my "Family" pictures are "Fa-xxxxx". My car pics are "C-xxxxx". Then I sort the pics on my card, and then they appear in alphabetical order.

I did find that just changing the name and sort doesn't change the order they appear on your phone. That is because the phone apparently has a program that creates "Icons" for each picture in your phone the first time the picture is read by your phone. The pics show up in the order the phone reads them. On the SD card, there are four folders, "Icons, Pictures, Sounds, and Videos". Rename your pics to "sort" them. Then open the "Icons" folder and delete everything in the folder.

Then put your card back in your phone and view your pictures. It will take the phone a few minutes because it will have to "re-build" the contents of the icon folder, but the photos will now appear "in order". The only disadvantage is that you will have to change the "Icons" folder each time.
