Are you saying that you want to backup/upload your texts to the MyPhone server but not synchronize-with/download-from the server?

i think you have to go online and archive it...i just started using it yesterday so take that comment with a grain of salt...

If I am reading this right.... (correct me if I am wrong)... you are deleting stuff on your phone, but it re-appears when it syncs with MS My phone...
If this is the case, there are two things you could do...
First, and less favorable of an option, Go into Sync Options (In the Menu in program) and uncheck the things you don't want backed-up or synced. This is a two edged sword though, in that it won't back up anything else in that category.
Second Option, log on to the MS My Phone website (http://myphone.microsoft.com).
Once there, log in with your Live or Passport account (the one you use to sync your phone).
Goto the catagory you want to clean out (say Text Messages).
Then delete the item(s)/message(s) you do not want.
When confirming, it tells you that this will delete it on the phone as well.
Once confirmed, it will clear it off of the phone at the next sync time.
Hope this helps.

Odd. New mail indicated. Can't see it.

I had 2 new mails in my Gmail. I read one, and couldn't see the other one, even though while I am in the vanilla Gmail app it still says 1 new mail at the top of my inbox. Ordinarily I would have just assumed a glitch and moved on.
Except right now I'm sitting in front of my computer and logged on via my computer. Sure enough, I do have a new mail that I still haven't read. I go back to my phone and the notification bar isn't showing any new mail but inside the Gmail app it shows one unread email. Though the view shows everything greyed out and the new mail which came today is not visible.
No refresh, exiting and re-entering or moving around the screen can fix it. I wish I could keep it like this to test what is going on, but I need to read and respond to the mail.
This is a strange one.

Same problem
I hadn't yet worked out the details, but I am almost certain that I've had the same problem. I certainly seem to see nothing new, even although the app says 1 unread.
Looks a bit like a sync error with the cloud. Anyone else got any thoughts?
[EDIT]
I just looked at my Desire and it told me I had 8 unread messages. Opening GMail it said the same in the title bar but only showed 6.
I opened GMail on my Mac and sure enough, I had 8 messages; there was nothing obviously different with the 2 missing ones.
I used Search on my phone to look for the 'missing' messages and to my surprise, they came up! So they are there on the phone, but not showing in the list? So my idea about a sync error is not so good!

Are the extra emails in the inbox, or do you have a rule which applies a label to them and moves them out of the inbox?

Good suggestion.
I know in my case (I just checked) it wasn't labelled and wasn't due to skip the inbox.
I think I may have had this once before and it is rare. But it is strange.

In my experience it happens sometimes but I have solved opening from the web browser Gmail, then you'll find the unread email. Once the unread email is opened, the notification will disappear. But maybe this is a different situation. I hope this can help you.

Yes, this happens from time to time. It's not a desire thing, it used to happen on my G1. I think it's normally a mail within a threaded mail that does it. Annoying but logging into the gmail website usually reveals the answer.

I had the exact same thing happen, not sure why it does it BUT i found the emails...
So SOLUTION/LOCATION of hidden emails are... in email app press menu, goto view labels and hit All Mail, this shows up the messages that didnt show up in the Inbox...
Hope this helps

[Q] MMS problems with pictures

Hello,
I'm new to this forum but have done a google search for my problem. It seems like it's still an ongoing problem that doesn't have a solution as of yet.
My problem/issue is with MMS messages that contain more than one picture. I've got handcent and the original messaging app that came with my droid incredible.
The best way I know to describe the problem in detail is to give an example. Let's say I received an MMS message that contained 10 pictures. With handcent, I would download the message and it would/could come in in different ways. Sometimes it'll only show me the first picture(view thru some sort of picture manager), sometimes it would show me the first and last as some sort of a movie, and then sometimes it would show the entire set of pictures in a movie type format that would last for 1-2 minutes give or take with no way of scrolling from picture to picture. However, unless it shows all the pictures in a movie type format there is no way to view every picture unless I go into the messaging app that came on the phone.
When using the messaging app on the phone the MMS message comes in in 1 of 2 ways. The first is a slideshow that shows every picture with an option to scroll from picture to picture. I'm pleased with this and would like all of these types of messages to come in this way. The second is the pictures come in as attachments. With this I'm only able to view the picture one by one. I have to click on what picture I want to view then choose between "View or save to SD card" then choose how to complete the action by choosing between "View picture or ASTRO Image Viewer".
My question is why doesn't all MMS messages like this not automatically come in as a slideshow where I can manually flip between pictures, either with the messaging app that came with the phone or with handcent? Is this a droid issue, specific phone issue, etc.? Is there a system setting that needs to be changed or a phone update I need to do? I had an LG Dare before this phone and all messages like this came in in slideshow form and I could flip between each picture.
This is the only problem I'm having with this phone. It's rooted and I'm running RR rom. I just want to be able to view each and every picture by scrolling or thumbing through the message. It's just amazing to me that a phone with this capability would have an issue like this
Thanks for any help!

does anyone have an answer?

[Q] linked contacts' pictures don't show up with in text messages like before

Feel free to call me a noob, but here's my deal:
I used unrevoked3 to root my evo. I'm still using the stock ROM. I DLed ROM Manager (Free) just to see what it was about. I clicked on the "Fix Permissions" Utility and let it run its course. Now when I open my text messages, none of my linked contacts' pictures show up with the texts, including my own. Anyone know how to fix this?

Did you go into accounts and sync and re-sync your contacts?

Yeah, I tried that. The only progress I've had was after updating PRL and profile, my gf's picture has returned, but no one else nor mine has returned with it.

So, after syncing and re-syncing I've got 7 out of 22 contacts that I have open text threads with that show their linked photo still not including my own photo. Under All Contacts in People all 22 people are showing their photos as well as my photo on my info card. Why would it show in people but not in messages?

I had this problem at one point. I wiped something to fix it...I think all I had to wipe was the messaging data, but I can't remember. Wipe till it works.
Of course, you will lose messages this way. There is an import/export tool on the market somewhere that might let your preserve them.

Got a tip from a friend to reset my FB account(remove and re-add) and within a few minutes all was right in the world. Thank you guys for the help though.

All my OneNotes (on 'phone' location) were deleted

(LG Quantum, stock Mango)
This is odd, and a little concerning.
This morning, I created a new OneNote, and pinned it to the start screen. I have a 'notes' section, where I had about 6 of them.
Just now I opened it up to add to it, and when I pressed the back button, it came up with a message. I clicked 'ok' quick without thinking (for some reason I thought it was saying something like "it has been saved"). When I went back to the start screen, I realized that the message was a little off, so I clicked on the OneNote... to have it say "does not exist".
I then clicked on all of them, and got the same message.
Going to the Office hub, the list of OneNotes is cleared. I power cycled the phone, no change. I now give a very confused w-t-f?
Luckily, anything of importance, I save on Word documents synced to my SkyDrive, but it's just annoying to lose them all. Most of which was a very long list of songs to download. I'm very much into music and it bothers me a great deal that I'll never know what those songs were.
Anyone hear of this happening??

I have a Samsung Focus and one of my coworkers does as well. She asked me today about this exact issue. Almost same sequence of events. She hit the back, saw a message appear and hit the back button again. Next time she went into her notes they were all gone.

That is odd. Any chance they're still on your skydrive?

Could this have something to do with the skydrive update. There are reports of having to go into settings and reset office in order to get them back. Aren't all onenote notebooks synced to skydrive?
Sent from my Droid using XDA App

Go to settings > swipe over to applications > office. Reset office.
Its due to the changes in skydrive the other day. The stuff in skydrive is still there and just needs to be resyncd due to url changes ect.

Yeah I've been reading up on the skydrive issues.
I'm hesitant to reset Office, as I don't want it deleting even more (it comes up with a warning saying it will delete everything and reset it to factory).
Opening my SkyDrive in a browser, no there are no OneNotes at all!

sure haven't said:
