Does anyone know how you stop these annoying emoticons from automatically downloading every few hours, I have put .nomedia files in the folders but they just keep downloading. They don't take up much space but I don't want this garbage on my phone.

I've got a new Sprint Mogul that I'm syncing with Windows Vista Home Premium. I have "Mobile Favorites" checked under Change Content Sync Settings. During synchronization, sometimes all or nearly all of my favorites from the Mogul disappear on both the desktop and the handheld.
This occurs often enough that I regularly copy a backup of the folder on both sides since I have to restore it a couple of times per day. It's pretty annoying, since I really do want to be able to edit, add, and maintain mobile favorites on my desktop.
The behavior is thus far unpredictable and inconsistent. Often I can go several syncs without it happening, then favorites suddenly vaporize. One consistent feature is that only favorites in folders disappear - the 2 that are in the root favorites folder never do. Often, the most recently-used, added, or edited on the Mogul will survive, while the rest disappear. Typically, favorites are safe until I use PIE then are liable to vanish, but sometimes I can use it without this happening.
Does anyone have any ideas what's going on and how I can stop it?
Same thing happening on my Touch
Found this thread through a Google search. Sorry to revive it but haven't found any explanation for this on the web.
My Mobile Favorites just wink out of existence right before my eyes ... really, I'm staring at my Touch, with ActiveSync cabled in and doing it's thing ... and ... blink ... blink ... blink ... every few seconds another one just disappears.
Very strange.
I'm having the same issue. Has anybody found an explanation or solution?
Favorites disappear - MS aware of bug
I read about this here: https://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsMobile/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3808030&SiteID=65
Sounds like a bug that has yet to be resolved.
Oh yeah, it is also an issue with XP SP3 and ActiveSync 4.5.
Here's my solution...
www.dashwire.com....
I let it do the syncing for me as far as Contacts, Texts, Speed Dials, Web Favorites, etc. The only things I really use ActiveSync for now are flashing and transferring large files to my SD card (music, ringers etc.)
Once you get an account on the site and D/L the mobile client to the device, run it and let it sync the first time to save everything (Contacts, texts, Speed Dials, Pictures, etc. If you have alot of pictures it may take a while or even freeze on you, so it might be a good idea to move the pics to your SD card before the the first sync.
After that go into your ActiveSync settings and set it to only sync files and media (unless you use Outlook at home, then set it for that too). Once done, any time you sync that way, it won't touch the Web Favorites and you don't have to worry about losing them. Another good thing is everytime you soft reset your device, Dashwire does a sync just to make sure nothing is lost. It will also put everything back if you flash a new ROM too. (Of course you have to re-install the mobile client and sign in first, but you don't have to worry about losing your Favorites in the process.)
I have been trying to download attachments sent to my gmail account and am having some problems.
A small pdf file (15k) will download fine, i click it, it opens, no problems.
If I download an mp3 file of a couple of meg it downloads then the icon switches to the generic unknown extension icon and nothing happens. I click the file and it says the download cannot be found, would I like to download again.
I checked all over the net, people were saying they delete the mail folders on the memory card, switch and swich back and it works, but no matter what i do, removing and resetting up the account, restarting, redownloading, setting the settings to download entire message with attachments, moving form internal memory to storage and back several times. No luck.
I found that if I go to the attacment folder, rename the file there to .mp3 it will play in media player, so it has downloaded, it's just not getting renamed and moved to the right place.
It's driving me absolutely mental now, has anybody else had any experience with this problem or got a solution?
Anybody know the location of the registry keys to set the attachment save location so I can check this also?
No?
Can anyone atleast tell me if this works for them or not, even if not the actual solution, atleast so I can stop searching for a fix if there isn't one.
Reason: (if you really want to know)
I really like the facebook and sense's people integrated feature. It helps me update birthday, phones, and my friends recent news. However, I do have most of my friend's photo on my outlook. I really don't need to save 200 extra pictures in my windows' drive. Beside, sometime my friend's profile picture are kind of random.
Help needed:
Any one know how to stop the photo update from facebook to the people contacts? A reg. tweak or something? Or just a want to select multiple contacts to use outlook picture? In sense 2.1, after the facebook linked your friends, a window pop up and you can uncheck the saved photo box, then facebook would not overide the saved picture you have. But this feature seem to be missing on 2.5.
facebook picture
you can override the facebook picture in sense 2.5 edit the contact then click the picture and choose, facebook, or outlook contact.
Thanks but I have more than 160 friends
Thanks for you suggestion, but you know I have more than 160 friends to update. And if I have to do that every time I upgrade a room. I am doom.

Double this request! I was about to open a thread in despair...
I have 20 FB-connected contacts. Not a big deal one would say - change them manually. But if one takes into account that i flash almost every other day (yes i like to play with builds and upgrades) and everytime i have to go through this 20 pics... Ahhhh!!!
Getting mad everytime this stupid manila feature replaces neatly prepared and assigned photos of outllook by it's tiny meaningless photos (in some cases just mess-up madness!)
Please, please help us to stop facebook messing up with contacts
Here's another one after update to Marshmallow.
I have a folder named "Notifications" where I put an .mp3 named "MyLoudNotification.mp3".
If I go into most of the apps I can choose this as a notification sound, while with FB Messenger it is not listed.
Please, could someone try?
I created /media/audio/notifications folder and put in there "MyLoudNotification.mp3".
If I go into Facebook (or WhatsApp or whatever) I can choose this as a notification sound, while with Facebook Messenger it is not listed. It was before.
Thanks
That's unbelievable!
This forum sometimes drives me crazy...
Almost 100 views and no one willing to help giving a try...
Will keep on helping others, but still
Hey guys,
i'd like to delete the .nomedia permanently inside the "Sent" Folder of Whatsapp.
I'd like to have my Whatsapptaken pictures appear in the Gallery, beside the incoming ones id like to stay in .nomedia.
When i delete the .nomedia inside the "Sent" Folder and restart my phone, it just reappears.
Anyone knows how to permanently delete the .nomedia in the Sent folder?
Thanks in Davance
Have you thought of trying to do this with Tasker?
never worked with Tasker, but i dont want to "copy" them over to DCIM, just want to get them to Gallery
to make things clear:
I'd like Photos made by Whatsapp (in /Whatsapp/Media/Whatsapp Images/Sent Folder) to be shown in my gallery (like on iOS).
Theres is a .nomedia item inside the Sent folder which seems to be newly created after every reboot of the System (despite deleting it upfront, of course)
any advices how i can make those (and only those, not my received images) visible in my gallery?
Anyone got an Idea?
I got the same problem. Need help too
you can use QuickPic and select Show Hidden
