Is there any way to get the GMail app to always show pictures, without having to press the "Show pictures" button? It annoys the hell out of me - I ALWAYS want to see the pictures!!!
Anyone got an answer for me?
Yet another bump since I still don't have an answer.
I'm now running Pays Sense Froyo rom.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
anyone got any ideas?
I want this also....please.
no you cant, its there to protect you not just from malicious code but also from illegal images ......
An honest question - how does making me press a button protect me from malicious code?
And illegal images, well I've never received an email with illegal images in it, and I think I'm prepared to take that risk since I'm an adult!
I just want my pictures shown straight away!
If the same account was able to have pics shown by default on the iPhone surely some has a fix or script or workaround for this bad idea on a Droid?
Thanks Kevin
"Show Pictures" button issue - WTF?
I am using Android 2.2 on a Droid X and I M NOT able to see my HTML emails automatically? I have to hit a "Show Pictures" button EVERYTIME?? This is the dumbest thing I have heard.
I can turn this option on in my GMail account, so we can't I turn it on in the GMail app on my Android phone?
Security? That is a lame-ass excuse, like I said, I can turn it on in my web based GMail account and GMail automatically filters 99% of all SPAM messages automatically AND IF there is SPAM in my email box, it's usually something I know not to click on it (on the phone) and when I do log into my webmail I report it as SPAM. WTF?
I solved this problem by using the K-9 mail application.
It is in the market and you can download the latest version off the developers google dev web site.
It has the setting to always show pictures.
Good luck to all.
Kevin
This has been solved now.
This post from this thread provides a GMail update that is flashable through ROM Manager or recovery.
Works a treat!
Thank you so much. I also think it pretty freaking stupid and not insecure. Scripts should always be be disabled but I dont see how allowing/placing/resizing picture is dangerous at all. There are empty spaces, that when you click them it goes to a link. It was a picture with a link attached, but now its clueless link. Its more dangerous to allow contextual boxes then pics. Downloading anything illegal without criminal intent is not prosecutable. My 2 cents anywho.
Thanks..I have updated Gmail app..The problem is now resolved.
I have gone into the contacts and set my sim contacts as inactive, yet when I open the contact list when creating a new SMS, all my SIM contacts are there... this is really really annoying. I can not for the life of me figure out how to disable this.
I've had a G1 for the past 1.5 years, rooted and running custom roms, so I know this has to be a snake in the grass waiting to bite me. Can anyone lend a hand?
Sorry if this is a bit hard to follow, long day
And yes, I have searched.. again, I know this is probably right in front of my face.
same problem here hopefully gets fixed in and update
same crap here another two annoyances from the stock sms app is no led and if text are sent in the same minute they get outta order
I cant stand how you can sync your facebook with only the contacts that are in your address book. But then when you go to text someone is shows everyone from facebook as a option to message. I just want it to show the people in my addess book. is there any way to do this. Have it sync just your contacts with facebook and not have everyone and their mother show up in the who to message list?
go into contacts and press the option menu,then view. disable the t-mobile one contacts too. because t-mobile keeps all ur contacts too...
i had a similar problem, hope this help tho...

it still ends up coming up when you search for the name in the sms app or other apps thats just to clear it from the phone app
This phone handles syncing strange. I cant wait till its rooted so i can put a Cyanogen rom on it. Even when i delete all the tomobile contacts. It finds a way of bringing them back.

This, 1000000000 times this. If I turn off veiwing facebook for mytouch contacts in the address book it still shows 100000 people form facebook in the sms part when i go to send a new message.
Yes... the syncing on this phone is indeed weird and annoying.. it was cool at first seeing everything pool in and popup without entering any info.. then it went awire , so I hit the killswitch on the whole operation. I know this isn't an answer to the problem, but maybe u can do without syncing until the froyo update comes next week (wishful thinking) ? Or do a hard reset and resync everything over slowly
No way I could find to not see all your contacts as is described in post #1. Dowload a full-featured sms app.

Handcent or Chomp. I prefer the former but have not used the latter much. For all new Android users reading this...please use androidtapp.com for reviewing apps. If they have reviewed the app, it is very thorough, including screen shots and an overall rating. This also gives you an idea of what the app can do, especially in comparison to a stock app so you don't have to frumpenuzzle with it yourself.
Just a word on handcent. I can not stand the way it looks. Its a blatent iphone look-a-like

Ill check it out, after I installed it on my G1, I opened it up and RAGED cause it looked like the iphone and immediately uninstalled it.
Hey there,
I just unpacked my T-Mobile USA Vibrant (modified Galaxy S). I love the phone, but as always, there are things that I think are missing. So I played around a little bit with it and one thing kept bothering me.
The phone integrates all my Facebook contacts, which is great. But I think it would be a slick feature if you could actually send them a message directly from the contact list. As of now, I have to go into a browser or use the FB app to send messages and I think it would be a lot more convenient to just go into the contact and send a message from there (like a text basically).
Does anybody now if there is an app or some piece of software that can help me out here? If not, do you even think it is possible to do it? I am not a developer, but I can imagine there are some issues, cause as far as I know Samsung didn't open there UI code for developers yet (or showed any intention of doing it).
So I am excited what you guys think of that and hope there is a solution somewhere out there
Phill
edit: I just saw there is a specific Vibrant forum. If the admins would like to put this post in the right place I would appreciate it. However, I think the issue is omnipresent among all versions of the SGS.
This would be a fantastic mod for contacts I would think I don't know why someone hasn't done this previously. I think if we get the guy doing the standard froyo / eclair dialler / contacts mod to do this it will be extremely innovative.
Contacts -> Groups -> Facebook -> menu -> Send message -> Choose recipient
Wow, long path... Should work though.
hey yea that works. but it is kind of a long way dont you think? Thanks anyway, it got me one step closer What I think would be a tremendous improve is to add the fb msg feature directly to the first contact screen. You know, when you slide left on a contact for texting and right for calling. If there is no number available but a fb contact it should automatically go to the fb messaging.
Just got myself a GN and I was a bit disappointed with the dialer.
With my old phone I could just spelling the name of a contact and the dialer would list contacts.
GN just puts in the numbers no direct search ??
Is it some option or something I am missing or do I need another dialer??
Love the feel of it just wish I did not have to go to contacts to find a number...
The stock dialer does not support T9 Smart dial. Either use another dialer, or use the google search bar to search for the contact you want to call.
Or spend a minute amount effort and tap the search icon in the bottom left of the dialer then start typing the name. It's not really much time wasted...

I also wish the T9 dialer was built into stock Android as it is with HTC Sense, Touchwiz and MIUI.
If you would like Google to change this, star the following threads in the Android issue tracker:

While it may not be much more effort, it is quite clear that this feature is available in other stock dialers, then why not in google's own?
I also store my contacts on the sim card and if anyone has noticed, then you cannot import all contacts into phone at once. You have to manually go through all contacts which again is a sore point.
I think that is a valid point to expect in the dialer, not whether searching seperately is an option or not!

Why not synchronise your contacts with google, so if you:
1. lose your phone.
2. Phone gets broken
3. Somebody steals it
it only takes 2 minutes before you have all your contacts again.
There are a lot of Contacts apps around on the market, and i bet even 1 of them supports transferring your sim contacts to the phone.
Earlier i used GO Contacts, but they don't support ICS yet. So for now im using DW Contacts (looks ok, only used it for an hour though).

Yes and accepted, but that behaviour has been standard all along. Rather than make me select one contact at a time from my hundred contacts, that one simple click would have been better. Anyways I prefer not to upload contacts into the cloud because
1. I may not have the consent of some of the ppl that I hold details for, e.g. bosses and they may not prefer it and
2. I personally do not know who or how this data is used/accessed in which case I would rather not. And personally judging by Google's appetite for gathering our personal data, I would rather opt out. Its just me....
Sorry OP to have hijacked your thread..
Correction - User error Apologies, I have just read the manual and it does allow for an 'import all' option to copy all contacts from SIM to phone.
To bad wish they would put that in its a very nice feature I seen no reason to be left out.
Anyone know a good dialer to use instead ?? Would love one with the same look if possible ???
Perhaps it is some sort of lawsuit infringement that prohibits them to build it into the dialer. I don't think Apple has this either, right? Maybe Microsoft has the patent on it.
3rd party dialers have this feature. In fact, I just install the MIUI dialer because it is just awesome. It is in the market and not listed under "MIUI Dialer" but "e9" or something. It works great.

Do you have the problem with it not clearing unanswered calls ???

I know from gingerbread that 3rd party apps can't clear unanswered calls. Some if the apps solves that by using the stock dialer list when selecting the notification.
Anyway its limitations in the OS and not the apps.

Hey Guys,
Not sure if this has been posted but I couldn't find it anywhere.
Was always annoyed that when I received a call, the image was pixelated to buggery.
Anyway, I figured out that in the dialer, if you go to the "starred" tab, you see the images there of people you have called/received calls from.
Now click on the 3 dots at the top right of that contact and wait. Soon the image clears up. Go back and that's it, that contact will now have a clearer image than before.
Feel free to let me know your thoughts etc. Hopefully helps some people out.
I just use contactsyncduck. At first it was a pain on the ass because you have to enter the Facebook ID of your contacts in the notes field, but now all my contact photos are crystal clear and they update when your contacts change their profile pics.
If you ever owned an HTC phone (that ran Sense OS) the facebook ID may already be in your contact info.
Edit: I did your trick on some of my contacts that don't have Facebook and it did clear up a little. Good find
Yeah, I used to use an app like that. Think it was called Haxsync. Not all my friends are on Facebook so I ditched it.
