No images in my email...why?

Everytime I open an email with images the only thing that shows are the X's to where the images are. How do I make the images show when I open an email. I want to read it the way I would see it on the PC.
My BB 8900 showed the images as long as I clicked on show images. High Tech Computer phone should be having these problems.

I think It's bacause pocket oulook doesn't support HTML. IMHO

Even if I'm using GMail and AIM mail?

Huh? POutlook supports HTML just fine!
I had the very same problem a while back on my TYTNII, I got round it by installing Schap's Advanced Config and setting the Proxy Auto Detection from disabled to enabled under Internet Explorer settings.
Schap's Advanced Config can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151

I downloaded it and did what you said. I even did a soft reset and I re opened my email and the images still don't show.

Did you retry downloading the images in POutlook? Does Internet Explorer work OK? I found that Internet Explorer wouldn't download images corretly when POutlook wasn't working... That's how I found they were linked.
Daft question - you have got POutlook settings set up for HTML and to actually download the message and not just the header haven't you??

I have no idea what you are talking about. All I did was set up my Gmail and Aim email on the device. No images are showing in either accounts. I never set up an POutlook or whatever that is.

Do you get an image placeholder [x] where the image should be? Do you also get a notification bar at the top of this message?

Mesquire,
Yes that's exactly what I see when I open up my emails.

Are you able to click on "Internet pictures blocked" to download the images for your email?

Never tried actually, but what if I can and what if I can't?

If you can: the behaviour is by design
This is similar to Microsoft Outlook/Outlook Express/Vista's Windows Mail/Windows Live Mail - images embedded into a HTML email are blocked initially.

So how do I get it to work correctly? Is your HTML blocked?
Anyone else HTML blocked?

Just tested using Gmail's IMAP access. Embedded images are blocked, as usual, with [x]. Click on "Internet pictures blocked" and images are downloaded to show the HTML email in all its glory.

Yeah I just checked and it's all good now. Thanks!

Is there an app for deleting duplicate contacts?

So I got all my contacts from my TP2 bluetoothed to my EVO. Then I did the HTCSync and now have duplicate contacts. Is there an app anyone has had success with to delete duplicates? I loved the Microsoft Myphone on TP2 that I could operate online, but wouldn't mind a direct phone app. Any suggestions?

if your syncd with google, you can open the contacts within gmail and use the 'find duplicates' button.

Thank you so much for this. I want to have your babies.

Well all my contacts aren't syncing with Google, just my contacts that were already on Google. Any suggestions?

it seems you may have imported all your contacts into the "phone address book". then depending on your level of paranoia...you can leave them there or migrate them to google servers for safe keeping.
assuming you are connected to an exchange server...if you are not, then simply ignore any references to it.
on the EVO...export all available contacts to file (should be two or three csv files when you are done. (google address book, phone address book, exchange address book).
you can import them into google and then use the 'find duplicates' tool and whatnot to clean up the list. do the same with your exchange by cleaning up your Outlook Contacts. not sure why you'd want to the local phones address list or the best way to manage it.
viola. cleaned up contacts. syncing to both exchange and gmail. this way you can finally remove your private/personal contacts from exchange and/or your work contacts from your personal gmail account.

Another alternative is a new service from Scrubly. The service scans and removes duplicate contacts from your Outlook, Gmail and Google Apps accounts. The nice thing about this service is that it gives you the option of viewing the contacts to be merged in advance and picking and choosing the info you want to merge so you have complete control over the merged data. It also keeps a backup of your contacts.

i Can't Thank You Enough Mann !!!

New app request to devs: google contacts to phone

Hello,
If anyone has time and know how:
App that creates phone contacts from google contacts and merges them on the phone, makes the local contact name default.
The main option I need so much is copying google nickname field (when available) to phone first name.
Other options to consider create contacts with only nickname on the phone, or choose which google field to reassign to which phone field.
select contacts to copy (default could be bulk update)
Check for new contacts since last run.
I really hope it's not that difficult, and that other people will find such utility app useful too.

......First wrong section second it's all stock implemented you can even sync your facebook friends pictures and phone number without facebook app

Hi..
Have you tried the app called Where. This might do what you are asking

This thread was worth it, just for the double face palm Thanks for that!

Your google contacts should sync at the first phone set up. If you want an app to manipulate the contacts from within the phone (which would also sync back to the google contacts) try the new "build a app" by google. Average Joes like you and I can create apps to do whatever we want. I made one to send quick texts to my wife with single push buttons. This app would be completely worthless to others but I find it useful.

How about this?
1. Use the Import/Export feature to export all your contacts to a vcf file (this exports phone contacts AND Google contacts, I don't know if you can export only Google contacts )
2. Use the Import/Export feature again to import all contacts into the Phone (it asks you whether you want to import all contacts into the phone or into your Google account).

You don't understand what I exactly want.
In google contacts I have about 100 friends and family members for which I have nicknames ( shorty, dad, honey etc.) I would still like to keep all the information. But on my phone I prefer to see my contacts by nickname. Also quickdial (use numbers to spell contact) in phone app using nickname.
My business contacts may stay as normal

About "where" app I can only find an app with korean description which is cryptic for me.
About vcf I imagine I could convert vcf to csv and then change the columns I need and then import, but I want an easy app for that.
About google build an app: I registered but it said I have to wait through confirmation. And I still got nothing since 3 weeks.

Well it seems that you are one of few but you could try to export you contacts, find the one with nick names and invert the first or last name with it then upload it back (if you are used to the nick names not having full name won't be a problem)
Or you can try to ask for an app here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=530 (the right section)

[Q] Delete default contact groups

Hi guys,
i am new right here and also with Desire HD. I just have it since 2 days.
Now, i have my first question:
I am organizing all my contact, grouped by categories, in Outlook 2003. This is working fine so far with HTC Sync and the Categories will be created as groups in my DHD:
BUT, there are still the "system default" groups like "friends", "family", and so on, which i don't need.
Now, i wanted to delete these groups, but i am not able. I only can delete my groups, created via sync.
Does anybody know how to get rid of these group?
Many thanks in advance
Henner

For those how have the same issue, i just found a way.
I installed the "Contacts Group Manager" App from the Android Store, there you can delete all the useless system group folder....
Now, i am happy...;-)

Thanks! Didnt like the clutter either...

You're welcome...was looking for it awhile and couldn't find anything....Can't believe we are the only user with this issue...:-D

Thanks, I just installed the app a few minutes ago and it did the trick. Do you know what the difference between the group "favorites" and "htc favorites" is? I have the same contacts in both groups so I'm not sure which one I need to keep. I know one of them is important because it makes the favorite contacts show up at the top of the contacts list.

sorry for necro, but I cant find this app anymore. is there a good alternative available? thanks!
-edit-
found this app that can remove default local groups: TouchPal Contacts https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cootek.smartdialer&hl=et

Thats one is good but

It's a full contact manager/replacement altogether, I'm happy with the stock one, so I found an app that only deletes contacts and groups, it even helped me to delete the default Google contact groups, A back up is recommended anyway.
Contact Deleter by Gabenative
Can't post links yet so add this to the play store url:

Hi Guys, I just want to share this one that works for me...
[Root/Non-root]
Note: You mustn't have internet connection.
1. First, make a back up of all of your contacts. Then delete all.
2. Go to Settings>Apps>All. Locate, Exchange Apps and Syncing Apps. Clear all data of each, force stop and disable.
3. Go to Settings>Account & Sync. Disable all the syncing for all of your accounts.
4. Open Setup Guide

New Outlook.com sync problems

I use outlook.com for my emails, phone book etc. Everything was fine with my contacts on my phone, I had all the small avatars for myself and all my contacts. I've got a big problem since MS updated me to their new style Outlook.com.
All my contacts Avatars have gone and I seem to have every contact in my phone from Facebook even though I have only chosen 'Outlook' in the settings. More annoyingly I have about 300 'Unnamed' contacts appear in my contacts and none of them have any info inside. I have deleted my account on the phone and resynced and it is still the same?
Has anyone come across this and any ideas how I can get my original properly synced settings back?

I have about 300 of these empty names now,

Did you already check in Settings > Apps > Outlook if all permissions are granted. If not, delete your Outlook account, set all permissions, re-add your account.

I'm using the outlook that is in the accounts settings and not the Outlook app itself. I've got my mail,calendar and phone numbers synchronised.
Maybe I'll install the App and give it a go that way and chose that setting in the phone app to see if that sorts it.

If you guys want to know some good email apps the type mail app works great so does blue mail I use both and they rock. They have like a 4.6 or 4.7 rating not many apps get praises like that. Just thought I would mention that as I think the outlook app has a lot to be desired.

Thanks for that but it's not the email I have problems with it's the Outlook account sync problems that give me hundreds of false empty entries in my people phone book when I sync to Outlook.com. They are obviously not in there so I don't know where they are coming from. It has only happened since MS updated me to their new Outlook.com style of page.

Oh I had that issue on Tuesday with the outlook servers using Thunderbird email software I had to force close a couple times now seems to be fine all day Wednesday yesterday and still going fine.
