Disable "internet pictures blocked" in mail?

is there a reg setting some where to have it download all images as soon as i open the mail, instead of blocking them and waiting for me to click "unblock?"

bump....guys anyone?

would love to know here too.

Still nothing - not here, not in the General forum either!

This is a great question - that bugs the hell out of me!
Any ideas?

I got curious and also searched. Came up with 2 other threads of with the same question and no resolution.
Maybe you could post this in the Kaiser Tweaks thread as a feature request for the XML? Some of the folks watching that thread really seem to know the registry!

Don't know an answer but
Its a Microsoft safety setting because you can put malicious code in a .jpg so they only want you to open trusted images (yeah weak I know) but its the same way with exchange server emails. Would be great to put this in kaiser tweaks but it would also be good to select all emails from a certain sender. So if I open an email from my friend there could be check a box and then from now on he is trusted and it auto does it instead of just doing in blanket style. but thats just my opinion i could be wrong

This is a feature of Exchange/Outlook 2007, but you can configure it to automatically download the pictures. Unfortunately it seems there isn't a method of doing the same for WM

yep...I'd like to know too.

Yeah, I'd like to know as well !!

I'd like to know how to download internet pictures even the second time. When I get "Internet pictures blocked" and I tap on it it then says "Download Internet pictures". When I tap on that "Internet pictures blocked" returns. I can Send/Receive and still no pictures. Frustrating.
If it matters I run my own email server on Linux and I am accessing it on the phone via IMAP.

I get this also on a standard ROM, anyone managed to suss it yet?

Very similar to the other problem I have with my Kaiser, regarding the "annoying "Internet pictures blocked" link in POutlook messaging.
FWIW, I don't know if it's a 6.1 thing or not, but it looks like if click the link the first time to emails, it'll cache the images so they'll open the next time you open that email -- but then again, who reads emails 15 times?
I was trying FlexMail, but for various reasons, not the least was my experience in asking questions on their forum which no one answered, but also the fact that when I get a Starbucks email, I'd like to be able to see the images not shrunk so much I can't read the text in the images... know what I mean? I bailed on that trial, and have used QMAIL, but it does something similar but much more comprehensive in scope... my only annoyance with QMAIL is it doesn't integrate into the messaging subsystem, oh well... so much for Voice Command telling me when I have new mail in my AutoPilot Qmail settings, but at least -- no "Internet Pictures Blocked" bull-pucky.
It seems though that maybe 6.1, as opposed to the older ROMs, is starting to show my email pictures without the nasty fuzziness! Hurray! I can see the Starbucks cup full-size, albeit I still have to tap the download images link the first time I open each email, and I have to tap the "scroll" link each time... maybe a small price to pay?
But maybe... just maybe, there's a registry king/queen out there who can pour through the registry and shed some light on these issues... maybe... I may, during some night-shift work, while I'm probably supposed to be passing medications ( ) sync up and look through the reg to see if I can see anything that might help, and putz around a bit.
HOWEVER... it'd be much easier if Microsoft just made a CAB that addressed these issues and fixed the problems, adding a few benefits on the side like trusted domains, adjustable font size, etc.
... but then again, maybe we'll run smack into another ice age by 2010, too...

Was this issue ever solved? It is soooo annoying, reading an emailm having to click you trust, having to click DL pics, having to go back, click send/recieve to DL pics. Then go look at the email. I have went from 1 tap and reading full HTML email on my iphone, to like 6 taps to get a full message on my WinMo phone.

I too am looking for a resolution to this.

Has this issue found a solution yet ?

Was hoping for an update when i saw this resurface. Hoping for something.....

still nothing! :-(

Still unsolved?

This thread has been floating around for ages now with no answer... adding "still unsolved" or "still nothing!" isn't likely to resolve it, so why do it?
C'mon people.... if you are going to post here, at least have an answer.

[FINALLY SOLVED!] Very annoying SMS bug in many different 6.1 ROMs

*There have been reports that this does not work on 6.5 roms. Please use at your own risk.*
Cab below!
It's discussed in this thread: HERE
Turns out its an issue with the htmlnote.dll file.
Thanks to all the help from everybody!
Cab replaces htmlnote.dll in the Windows directory with a friendlier one.
Both SMS and email work!
This has been a recent problem that's come up in many different threads but I still have yet to find a solution.
When selecting a message from the message tab in M2D the message is highlighted and you have to manually tap on the text box to start typing.
It's much easier to select the message and just start typing right away.
Is there a fix for this yet that I just can't find?

I've been looking as well, and I haven't come across anything.

Why you open this thread addition?

I've seen it within many different ROM's threads with no final answer or fix. I thought I'd try to collect it into one place since I know there are many different people with the same situation.

I have this bug to all of my roms and if you have this bug also if take from same contact more than 1 sms and you go to read it become "read it" only the final sms and the other 2 or 3 or more new sms from this contact stay "unread it" you must tap on sms to become "read it"
i searching for this bug if found something i will post it here..
also i have problem with power button issue
also perlyp have this 2 issue and chef of PDACorner..

I have the same problem. Also if I have an SMS thread open while receiving messages to the conversation. It does not mark them as "read" I have to open the conversation for each message received. If I have 4 SMS messages from the same number I should be able to open it once and have all messages marked as read in that conversation.

theres a temp fix for the unread sms issue. if u search for unread sms fix (i think thats what its called) ull find an exe that will fix that issue. u have to run it every time it happens but like i said its a temp fix. Ill post a link or the file when i get home.

thanks i found it. this site is great, filled with all kinds of info but sometimes it is hard to find.
**a side note the fix you suggested also fixed the original issue in this post.

why you so lazy

I think its just the problem with cooking process (you know blending sys and oem packages and stuff like that!). Some of the ROM's here do have that problem. Usually G's tend not to, but it all depends on the flavor of the day!

Loserskater, what app are you using for sms that this apply's to?
TW,

That fixed the SMS issue for me, however it seems to have broken e-mail. The read/unread icon doesn't display, and I can't open any e-mail or start a new message. Any ideas?

Funny you said that as i just checked and same here?
Please other peeps check your email amd see if it's broke, seems like even renaming htmlnote.dll to htmlnote.dllold so as the ROM recreates the file does not seem to fix it......

That's a shame, it got the SMS to work perfectly. Though I suppose that an annoyance with the SMS is better than completely broken e-mail. Seems like there must be a way to have both though.

I wrote an app to control my phone through google talk

Hey guys!
I developed TalkMyPhone, an open-source app that enables you to control your phone from google talk. It's like android-notifier on steroids, since it brings almost the same features and you don't need wifi/bluetooth enabled.
I can't post links since I'm new here. Google for talkmyphone or look for it on the market.
Developers: I'm open to contributions
Users: please use the issue tracker for suggesting features
I don't have many non-french users since the info did not spread very well outside of french blogs, so I'm posting it here. I hope someone will find it useful and write something about it.

Do you need multiple GTalk accounts in order to talk to it, or can you "talk to yourself" ?

Niice Idea

sweeeet thx

Doesn´t work on my SGS. After trying to to login the app closed. And now i can´t open it again. Even every other app wont start.
Only a restart helped. Uninstalled.
But the idea is interessting. maybe i´ll give a try again later.

The 2 solutions work. Talking to yourself is possible in gmail, but you cannot initiate the conversation, so in this case, best is to use a third party client like pidgin. Otherwise you can set up a second account. Any standard jabber account is possible.
Accounts delivered at jabber.org are *very* easy to get. You don't need to give your email address, you don't need to sign an agreement. You just have to fill a captcha to prove you're human.

Weird. Some unlucky people experiment bugs like this one. I don't know where this comes from, and I try to improve the code. It works 100% of the time for me, so all I can do is look at 'adb logcat' traces users leave on the bugtracker. If you wish to do so, it might improve your chances to see this fixed

giving it a shot
you may try changing your preferences.xml to the attached (just because of english, just change .zip to .xml)
i have to find the other file, because i noticed some other grammatical things. no worries tho
and, 'additional settings', in the xml has too many 'n's, lol

Thank you, I'll update that in the next release.

Pretty Neat
I was able to go on Google Talk on my PC and send messages to my phone. The copy:text feature I can definitely see myself using so that I don't have to type long URLs in the browser. The other functions seem like they would be nice if you lost your phone or if it was stolen. Overall a pretty neat app! Thanks!
Rob
HTC Incredible
Virtuous Rom 2.7

So I have the app running and logged in. (Phone is logged into [email protected])
On my PC I have [email protected]. I message from PC to phone (John to Paul) and nothing happens.
I tried "where" "ring" etc, but the app doesn't respond. What am I doing wrong?

What next...
When you start the app on the phone, make sure you input your google information and then start the app. If you have Google Talk up on your PC, it should pop up a window for you to type commands into (talk to/control your phone). It did for me anyway. Type a "?" to get a list of the commands...

Hmm, I did all this. Let me see where the issue is:
My phone's Google account is set to [email protected].
I put in [email protected] and my password into TalkMyPhone.
I start up TalkMyPhone and it logs in -- successfully.
I go to my PC and log into gmail on [email protected].
I message from my PC ([email protected]) to my phone ([email protected]).
I get the message but nothing happens with TalkMyPhone.
Can you tell me where the issue is?

i entered in all of my information too and nothing seems to work, the app says loging in .. then that its successful. but then nothing can be done from there.

i cant even log in
i always get the message: "login failed" and then "stopping service"
i tried setting it on "use the phones account settings"
then i turned that off, and manually put in my gmail-settings - still didnt work

Same issues over here... Got it all connected, reciving messages from the phone works fine, too (welcome, battery, incomming callings) but sending commands doesn't work for me.
Got a HTC Magic/Sapphire with CM6 (2.2) running on it.

I had the same problem. I changed the GTalk Port to 5222 and entered my ****@googlemail.com instead of ****@gmail.com

Works perfect on my HD2 (Android ) Thank you!
When I log in on phone i get this gTalk message on my pc from my own account:
Welcome to TalkMyPhone. Send "?" for getting help
Battery level 78%
Works just perfect...

but i dont get any messages....
do i need to have the real gtalk installed on my computer?
doesnt applications like trillian for windows work?

I tried Pidgin and it works but I use the GMail-Chat because it's my info hub
Anyways, great work chm.duquesne, this is a really great application.
Now there just needs to be a way in GTalk to turn off the chat notification in Android for a single contact
// Edit
The "where" feature is really awesome, mate.
Nothing serious but the reply feature does not work for me. When I received a SMS and I type "reply:This is my reply" it answers "No match for "+491234567890" (the number being the correct number, of course).

I use gTalk and it works.
Is it possible to get some kind of ping button on the phone, that opens the conversation window on the pc? I cannot figure out how to open a conversation with myself in gTalk.

[Q] How to fix the IE mobile large text size issue?

This is a problem with all WP7 phones yet I can't find any details about it anywhere.
In some websites, certain portions of text will appear abnormally large, as if the text size was set to large and the zoom level was set to normal. Is there a way to fix it?
Here is an example of what I'm talking about

Anyone...?

Guys...come on. I know I'm not the only one with this problem.

Please don't tripple post.
I sometimes have this problem briefly on xda developers website, but when it is done loading, it goes back to normal. Try changing your browser settings to desktop view for viewing that site and see what that does.

I have a problem with IE on Omnia 7. The problem is it wont load any page... My connection is OK because everything else works (email, "Now" tile refreshes weather and news normally, my facebook account is regulary updated).
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

Just tried that, no success...
Can you post a picture please?

There's nothing wrong with the IE in WP7. That's an error in the website's code. That's a problem with so many different browsers being out. Different browsers display pages differently. It's the web developers job to test their code in multiple browsers to make sure they display properly.

Then why does it happen with 8 out of every 10 websites I visist?
Can you go to overclock.net and see if you can reproduce the problem?

I have tried the IE9 in the new updated emulator and it definitely fixes this.

.gif images not moving

Hello, I am running CleanRom 5.6 on my verizon galaxy sIII and everything is working great. However I have one problem. The stock message app works great but it does not allow for group test message to show up on one message i.e. you get individual message instead of getting one single message. I solved this by installing go sms pro or handcent. NOw the problem that I am having is that when people send me a .gif image file I can see the picture but it is not moving. I have tried opening under the stock text app, go sms pro, and handcent but no one them work. At have had it working a few time but the majority of times it does not work i.e. the image does not move. I have searched online a lot but there is no one consensus on how to fix this problem. I hope someone know what I am talking about and can help me because I am not the only one who is having the problem. Thank you.
p.s. I do not know whether the problem is being caused by an iphone user sending the .gif file or whether that does not matter.

Im not 100% sure here but pretty sure the Android OS doesnt fully support .gif anymore at least? seems like alot of people cant only get the first frame of a gif to run on their phones now.
