Hi all, XDA has been such a great help in improving my enjoyment with my phone!
Here is my question - using TouchFlo, if I select Messages, then click on All Messages, then change the folder to Deleted Items, I have a ton of old deleted text messages I would like to clear out. I can't seem to find a way to do it other than 1 at a time, which would take forever. Are there any other more expedient ways to clear this folder out? Even just a "Delete all" would be fine, I don't really want anything in there.
Also, is there a way for it to clear this folder upon exit or something?
I am wondering if I need a hack to enable some feature to delete these messages, as I don't see it. Otherwise the deleted messages just pile up forever!
Thanks for the help!
You can delete them by going to Menu>Tools>Empty DeletedItems (in the Windows Mobile messaging program).

Go to all messages then go to menu\tools\options\ then go to the storage tab then in the deleted items drop down menu select immediately. This will delete them for good when you delete them from the inbox.
The facebook pictures for my contacts used to show up on the stock messaging app, but after restoring a nandroid it doesn't anymore. This is also the case with other messaging apps, so I don't think it's related to the app.
Is there any way I can make messaging apps show contact pictures again? (the contact pictures are still there btw - checked the dialer)
Have you checked if your FB account is still linked and set to sync? If yes, try removing & re-adding it. If all else fails, try linking contacts manually.
I'm not sure about the stock app, but is there a part in the menu that you need to tick to show contact pics?
You could also check your accounts and make sure that the facebook sync is turned on etc. I'm just throwing ideas out by the way, I'm not really sure lol.

Steve, actually. That's why it's crammed in between John and Doe.

Ah, I didn't try the obvious one. The account was still linked and was set to sync, but I deleted and re-added my facebook account and now it's working.
Thanks for the help guys . I should have tried this before posting a new thread here, my bad!

Apology accepted.
Glad we could help!
Thanks
I thought this was going to be a more serious problem but all I had to do was re add my facebook account thanks for the help!
thank you so much. I was searching for a while, but turns out to be a simple fix.
i had the same problem and i have managed to fix it by this way, thanks.
however i have another similar issue which i couldn't fix until now. even if sender's facebook or profile picture seems, my own picture doesn't seem at the conversation.
is there anyone who managed to overcome this problem??
I'm having this "odd" problem too.. however I do have facebook sync-ed (similar to leventmann i guess)
The problem appears to be that the messaging app thinks the contact comes from the SIM (thus lack of profile pics).
Short of deleting the contact form SIM, i've managed to 'trick' the phone into using the facebook/google contact by fiddling around with area codes.
However, whenever I have the contact pic, I then get this "ugly" extra (M <mobile numb>) appended to the name:
ie.
John Doe (M 1234567890): blah blah blah
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Which I guess is 'ok', but it just takes up so much space in the message itself (even more so with the new Sense 3.0 messages having an iPhone-like look with messages being left/right speech bubbles)
At first I thought it was because the contact had 2 mobiles associated with the account, so removed (unlinked) one of the mobiles, but problem still exists.
Any ideas on how to keep the contact pic but remove (M xxxxx) ?
Also, is there a way to get the original htc messaging style back? (Sort of like the one you see if you go to "Persons -> <contact> -> Messages"; a basic list of the messages where sender/recipient avatars are on the left...)
I've got a bunch of my contacts "linked" to their FB accounts, but for some reason their pics are all pixelated, I'm currently using RCMix's ROM.
When I was using SGBS ROM the pics weren't all pixelated.. anyone else have this problem?
I don't think it's specific to the ROMs mind you.
hmm, no dno't have problems with pixulated FB pics, when I do manage to get the to display they display fine.
Small update...I've noticed something that may be part of the cause of my problems... in the "People" application the SIM numbers/contacts are not shown (I chose to not view them). However, when I open 'Phone' (to dial someone) I see the SIM numbers/contacts!!!
I vaguely remember seeing this in another thread (shall go digging for it later) but wondering if anyone reading this thread knows how to fix it?
Thanks!

I have changed my ROM from Starburst Froyo to Cool VisionS and i can see my own profile picture now after creating a Google profile with picture.
However now i have this problem above. Pictures are pixelated and i am not sure if it is because of ROM. Another suspicious point is : Before i had "Facebook for HTC Sense" in the settings for syncronization but now in this ROM i have only "Facebook" to syncronize. Do you think it can be related to one of these reasons?
Yes, i found the solution for pixelation problem (at least for my situation)
When i tried to add account for syncronization (under settings - accounts&syncronization) i noticed that there is also "Facebook for HTC Sense" which requires another login process.
Use this account for syncronization and remove simply "Facebook".
It fixed pixelation problem
That did indeed fix the pixelated picture problem for me as well.
The pictures for my contacts in the messaging app are missing though, aside from the few that I have setup to use a picture on my SD card.
have you ever done "fix permissions" from CWM?
permissions's related problem.

I have exactly same problem. Any ideas how to fix this?
I've tried to save my own number to contacts and linked it to my own facebook, but the pic just wont show up? I'm using CM-3.7 rom.
I am experiencing the same issue under stock 2.3.3, from time to time (in a SMS thread, my contact's picture is shown as default). The only solution i've found for this is to open my contact's details and re-add my custom picture.
I can't even find my own contact profile from the phone? Is this someting to do with CM-3.7 ROM or am I just blind? In the stock ROM, it was first at the contactbook, but after I installed the ROM I haven't seen it anymore.
The HTC Mail app really has a tough time sending emails, especially ones with attachments.
Are there any tutorials around about the settings, smtp, and other settings. It seems like the outgoing settings are messed up but I cant seem to figure it out.
Thanks for you help!
I'm assuming that there was a typo in the thread title. If not, You shouldn't use the HTC mail app for gmail stuff. Use the gmail app for that. As for it having trouble, I've never had trouble with it. I suggest clearing off the accounts, and re-setting them up. Don't try to get into any advanced settings; just follow the prompts to enter username/pass, and "proceed" and "next" when prompted.

The thing is, I cant send attachments via the Gmail app. Only pictures. I need to send songs(in various formats), documents, pictures, etc and I can only send these with the stock HTC Mail app. I dont like using apps from the market in place of apps i already have...just a hang up i have.
anyway, i think ive gotten it to work but im not sure how. i just kept messing around with it then i was able to send an email with a 10mb audio file attached.
hopefully whatever i did will stick...
thanks
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.
Hi all,
I have rooted my Galaxy Nexus using Nexus Root Toolkit, so far so good, but the problem is with People application. I have few accounts connected together (facebook, hotmail, linkedin, skype, ..) and once I link some contacts from these sources, I would like to choose which photo to use as the contact photo. Before root, there was an option once you clicked the photo, the popup "use this photo" appeared. After root, I only hear the click action, but can't see any popup. I don't really believe it has something to do with the rooting, but more with restoring the full backup. Not sure anyways.
Honestly, I don't want to factory reset at all, any chances someone could help here?
Thanks in advance.
OK, seems like my bad here, if I have some contacts not connected to Google Contacts as well, there is no chance to change the picture. On the contacts linked with google ones, I can change the picture. Problem solved.
