    Ok, so I know jpg.rem is a encrypted version of a picture file. I recently added a 2 GB Sandisk memory card to my Torch (9800) and I did a customary back up as I was deleting the old files on the memory card.

    After the back up was complete, I realized that some of my pictures were saved in a jpg.rem version. I later discovered that I can't rename the file extension. If I try to drop the .rem, I get "Error decrypting header."

    I have done extensive online searches and I have tried the following: emailing the file to myself, it comes back as jpg.rem. I have tried turning encryption on/off to rename the file, failed.

    Are there any suggestions?

    I tried that as well. When I attempt to move files from one location to the next, I get "Error decrypting header."

    I believe I have done everything correctly but could you tell me how to turn off encryption on the Torch.

    It's under Options-Security-Encryption. Uncheck the boxes

    I did that several times. All boxes are unchecked. It still has not worked. I tried uploading the images to facebook but it would not accept the file.

    I also tried emailing the image to myself. I don't have a email configured o my phone so I used webmail, the file remains jpg.rem.

    You said you added the card to the 9800. Did it come from another phone? If so, what was it?

    Have you tried this in his phone? One encryption setting is device specific. If that was his setting, you can *only* decrypt it in his phone.
