getting place holder instead of pic - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody know why pictures in my website is showing as placeholder on my WP7.5? It used to show up properly, but now just icons appears. I viewed it on my wife's iPhone 4s and the picture shows up normally. Downloaded SurfCube, I still get placeholders. It's a demo reel sites, and everybody's site pictures loads properly. Regional settings? Hidden settings? Anybody knows?
Thanks in Advance.

I would suggest that you clean out all temporary internet files form your phone, as I think your image-cache is corrupted somehow.
You can do this by going into the settings of Internet Explorer and push the button that says 'Clear History'. Don't be fooled by the label, it actually cleans out everything, including caches.
Oh, and don't forget to exit IE, and restart. If not, you will still be holding on to the old files...

Photos disappeared - yet saving somewhere.

Here's a puzzle that's got me baffled!
Last night took some photos on my phone, plugged it into the laptop to copy them over as I've done nearly everynight for a year.
Went into the \\Storage\DCIM\100Media directory and couldnt see any files at all! Weird I thought.
So went into the Photo Album of the phone to see if they were there.
The photo album showed about 10-20 photos from AGES ago, all other photos had a circle with a line through it (like a stop sign).
Looked again in the directory, couldn't see any files, so reset the phone.
Went into the Album again, only this time it showed the default photos that comes with the phone, again nothing was showing in the 100Media directory.
Paniced at the thought of losing a load of photos but still continued looking.
Something caught my eye, the fact that even though it looked like all my photos had gone, the "number available" that appears in photo mode (the number being the one that shows how many photos you've got left to take) was still showing about 1500.
So took a few random snaps.
Sure enough, the number went down, but they were no where to be found.
Checked the size of Mb free on the storage card, made a note, then set the phone to record nothing for about 10mins.
Sure enough, the size available on the storage card had gone down but still no video was appearing in the 100Media directory.
I've reset the phone several times, any picture I take results in the "number available" going down, a few more videos of varying lengths does indeed show the space available as going down on the storage card but can not find anything anywhere!
Have manually been through every directory on the storage device, can't see anything anywhere.
Anyone had this before or suss out what the problem is and obviouslly where the hell my media is being saved?
Have checked the main device, but of course not there and wouldn't explain where the space available keeps going down.
I'm stumped!!
Install Total Commander and try to search files by date.
That's best I can suggest "out of the hat".

[Q] Picture Gallery is Killing me

Alright, I have been searching with no solution in sight. I have tried everything.
I deleted many videos and pictures from my phone using the usb cable as I've always done. For some reason, this time around, the gallery will not delete the freaking pictures. It shows the gray box as a thumbnail with an exclamation mark and will not delete.
I have deleted the .thumbs folder, I have emptied data/cache, I have deleted the cache in the /com.cooliris.media/ folder. I have tried using gallery 3d (with some success but the folders that I also deleted still show.
I dont know what to do! It's pissing me off. Even folders that I set to private (putting a period before the name) still show up, although no pictures show up inside them.
I have a rooted Evo 4g with Fresh rom. This problem has been going on with every other rom I put in. Any solutions besides throwing this gorgeous phone against the wall and see it splatter into little pieces?
I'm assuming there's some hidden place where this cache is that keeps everything. Gallery will not reload no matter what I delete

Nexus S (FW 2.3.1), issue/bug deleting images/video's from gallery, keep reappearing

This is going to be a challenge trying to get my point across, but here goes.
Lets say i have one image/video in the gallery and i wish to delete this image/video, i mark it for deletion then select delete, the image/video seems to get deleted, i hit the home button and then re-enter the gallery and the image/video has gone, or has it? now, while still in the gallery if i press the back button to exit the gallery then start the gallery again the image/video is now back, it doesn't matter how many times i delete the image/video, it allways comes back, even afer a reboot, now here's the really strange bit, when i check to see if the files have been delete from the USB storage using a file browser i find that they infact have been deleted, but they still show up in the gallery, this behaviour occurs with all image and video files, camera files, received files over bluetooth, etc.
I hope you all can understand what i am trying to say and i hope i got my point across ok, btw, this is the second Nexus S i've had that exibits this issue, i've also done a few factory resets on both Nexus S's i've had, but this issue just wont go away.
This seems to me like it's a bug in Android 2.3's gallery app, does anyone else see this very strange behaviour? could someone test this on thier Nexus S? does Google know about this issue?
BTW, this issue only seems to occur when i delete all images and videos in all folders, or if i delete all folders that are in the gallery, i would have mentioned this earlier but i had only took one video and one pic to test the camera.

[Q] Internet Explorer wont open on my HTC Mozart

All of a sudden when I select the Internet Explorer Tile from my home screen on my HTC Mozart nothing happens, it just refreshes the home screen tiles, usually when apps do this rebooting the phone fixes the problem, but not in this case, I cannot open pages from Bing or open links. My phone has been updated to Mango and I have tried to revert back to an older software version but on my Zune there is no option to reinstall the update. I dont want to factory reset my phone because I will lose everything I have downloaded and purchased.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Does it happen if you hit the arrow and select it from your full application list?
If it doesn't remove from home screen and re-pin it.

Thanks for the reply, if I open it from the tile of from the application list it still doesnt open, I have tried unpinning it and pinning it, opening it through links in text messages and through bing but nothing works, I have cleared the history and cookies but still nothing, I dont understand what has caused it.
In the hacking sub forum download my Supreme Shortcuts app and see if the two IE shortcuts open for you.

How do I deploy a .xap file to my device?
Do you have htc connection setup?
if not can you download it from the marketplace and run it?
You won't lose everything.. just saved games. You have to redownload from marketplace but when you click buy, it will tell you you already bought it and download it for you. You can see a list of what you have downloaded at www.windowsphone.com. Sign in with your hotmail id.
not sure what else to tell you from there.

I have the same problem, like like you described. I was using my omnia 7 (wp7.5 unlocked, latest firmware) and suddenly i couldn't open IE, nor launch it from any app. Besides you, i haven't found anybody with the same bug...

Solved mine on Microsoft forums, switching IE settings from "open in new tab" to "open in current tab" miraculously fixed it

I was facing similar issue. I guess I know when it started (but not sure about it).
I had opened Google Search app. I was searching some images. In results displayed, I clicked 1 image. It opened Internet Explorer. When I tried to open "Tab" from Menu to close tab and exit IE, IE was simply not getting close and it was opening continuously. I finally pressed Power button to switch off phone. After phone restarted, it wont open IE. After changing from New Tab to Current Tab in Settings, problem temporarily resolved. But I observed that while internet explorer is open and I open the tabs, it shows absolutely nothing, it doesn't show the tab for the page that is currently open or none of the other tabs that are open. Rather it shows Blank page with symbol to add new tab. But even new tab is not getting added. I tried several reboot on phone but somehow "Tab" thing is broken.
Hope this bus is fixed in 7.8.
(After I reset my phone, now IE is functioning normally with tabs working as well).

Phone wont see SD card/remember ringtone setting after reboot

This is a new problem... i originally deleted the settings for media storage after reading that that would get rid of the 3 times my ringtones were showing up in my selection list (when they only exist in one location.... i tried to make sure they werent duplicating themselves, the first 2 were silent and the 3rd was the real file.). so deleting that got rid of the 3 times thing, and i thought i had it licked. but every reboot, my phone forgets my ringtone setting... when i go to repick it, its not in the list, only the factory ones are.
Now, i *know* there is the work around of putting the one i want to use on the internal memory.... but thats kinda not the point... id like this to work properly. as it should. as it did before i reflashed. i reflashed the exact same rom and am using the exact same SD card.
upon googling and reading advice, i put a new folder on my sd card called media, and within there, ringtones, and notifications. (the site i read also recommended making one for alarms but i never use my phone as an alarm, ever. and the very rare time i will ill just pick a factory sound). As of right now, every reboot, i have to move the ringtone i want to use out from that folder, and then put it back in, causing media scanner to re-run, which then finally, once that is done, allows it to show up in the list along with the factory default choices.... but doing this every reboot just to have the sound i want is a ROYAL pain......... before i reflashed, it would forget what i had chosen on occasion, but at least then i could just go into the list and reselect it before... it didnt forget it existed, but only that i had chosen it. at the time that was a royal pain.... but now, id take that over whats been going on.
before reflashing i had a folder called "sounds" that it was able to see, all the time.... i had left it the same... but when my phone couldnt see that anymore, i looked for other ways of making it work.
Not sure if this is related but i have on occasion (2 or 3 times now) had my gallery forget about ALL of my pictures on external (whcih is where i keep all of them). deleting gallery data at least fixes that, and that doesnt happen every reboot either.
and before anyone asks, there is no ".nomedia" file in with my ringtones, or in with any of my pictures.
advice anyone??
anyone?? Ive already tried everything google-able
