[Q] Some email attachments not visible after ICS update - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been searching for this all morning with no luck.
Got given the bosses Galaxy S2 last week, so did a factory reset then an OTA update to 4.0.3 then started playing and setting it up for work use. I am using the inbuilt email program for my work POP3 account and the gmail program for the gmail account, viewing both through the combined email viewer - all working fine.
However, when I receive after hours voice mail messages from work, which send as a .wav file, the attachments wont show up, ie when viewing the email there is no attachments tab. If I try to forward the message, sure enough the attachment is there and visible and openable. All other attments seem to be showing OK (as in documents, PDF's, etc) just not the .wav files.
Is there a security setting or something somewhere that needs changing?

Well General is not the place where you stick questions. Moved to Q&A.

Sorry about that, thanks for relocating for me.
Further to the mystery, I mentioned if I try to forward the email I can now see the attachment in my outgoing message, well I decided to send the forward and the message that comes in now has the attachment visible...
This is what I mean - this is an incoming message where the attachment is not showing and no way of finding it -
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Whereas this one that was received same as above, but then simply forwarded back to myself - now the attachment is visible so it was obviously always there

Bump!! Anyone?
I am getting the voice mails redirected to my gmail account today to see if it makes any difference.

[Q] Cant see friends picture albums on facebook

I have been unable to watch my friends picture albums in the facebook app for a few months now. If i goto a friends profile there simply is no link to the picture albums!!
Am i the only one hving this problem or am i just blind??
Let me re-phrase the question:
How do you see your friends photo albums in the facebook app?
Oh, and how come the facebook app isn't the same for my tab and my wifes galaxy s2? On her phone the facebook app looks much more beautiful and profiles are shown with the new timeline/cover picture format. On my tab it's the same old look as it was before the timeline update.
Same here. The facebook app is rather basic. Im guessing as its designed for phones, its not programmed properly for Honeycomb. They need to come up with a tablet version like the iPad has.

Questions go in the Q&A section
Run the Contacts app, display all your fb contacts, under groups. Using the view profile link from these contacts loads up fb WITH the bottom bar, to cycle through wall, info and photos.

Stock email client doesn't load email + images (screens provided)

Hello community, I am trying the stock email client and I have used my live email account to check it out. Unfortunately, when I open a message I don't get the full email with the pictures like on the computer. For this to happen, I have to press at "load more details" on the end of the message. Also, I can't get the new emails without refreshing the account through the app.
How can I "fix this?"

You have it set to only retrieve 2K of each mail. That's your problem. Tap it and increase the size. You also have it set to retrieve emails every 3 days. Tap it and change it to Automatic. Also, go to sync schedule and make sure they are both set to Push.
Thanks for your reply. I have made these changes but nothing changed. Then, I deleted the account and tried again. Unfortunately nothing again. Also, the "Period to sync email" is set to "3 days" even if I choose automatic.
On account setup I go with the automatic setup. Should I go with the manual setup?

I have Period to sync email set to All. I get my email pushed to my tablet with no problems. I did do manual set up though.

Having trouble linking facebook contact pics...

I had no issue with this with my original Evo 4G. Once I had contact's linked to their Facebook accounts, their FB image would appear as their contact image. The only exception to this would be if they had a Google image.
I'm having trouble getting the same thing to work on the new 4G LTE. The contacts are definitely linked. However their FB image doesn't appear. Just the default "anonymous grey dude" image.
If you are having the same issue as above(which I had) try these:
1. HaxSync
or
2. FaceBook Contact Sync
This worked for me!!! Finally all my contacts have pictures!!!! Found this fix while googling...not my work. Just wanted to share!
EDIT: Nevermind...

Do a Google search for 'Photo Unlocker APK' and you might be able to find the app that will solve your problem.
I'm using it and it works great:

There was a thread here on this forum that had a working link, but unfortunately, that link is now dead for whatever reason.

I use this to. It unlocks the photos in other apps on your phone like messenger and others but it still wouldn't work for me in the people app. Thats why I posted what i found.
In your search did you ever find an app that syncs your Facebook calendar with your Google calendar? Sense does this just fine, but if I switch to a non-Sense ROM someday I'd still like that feature.
My limited searching kept pulling up instructions on "syncing" the two by exporting the FB calendar and importing it into Google's, which obviously isn't the same as syncing the two.

[ISSUE] MMS Creates New Thread For Same Contact!

I have a message thread between my fiance and I. But, for some reason, when i send her an MMS, it will create a new thread. So, then i will have 2 message threads between the same contact. Even when I am in the actual thread itself and try to add a photo that way, as soon as i click send, it appears as if the mms will go inside the same thread i'm already in, but then it disappears and when i go back to my conversations page, it shows as a new thread. Then all further sms' received will go inside the new thread the MMS created.
I already tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227352&page=2
but all that did was merge the threads together, but, then again, i send an MMS and it creates a new thread.
i did notice, however, when i use SMS Backup and Restore and i use the "Backup selected threads" feature, it will show the phone number in different formats. EX: +1xxxxxxxxxx and +1 xxx-xxx-xxxx
I know that has something to do with it because every time i tried the method in the link above, The new MMS that created a new thread, will show up in the .xml file under a different number format than the other SMS'.
I don't understand why my phone doesn't recognize the number formats as the same contact .
PLEASE HELP!
Here is a screenshot of what i mean by 'Multiple Threads for the Same Contact'

Are your contacts properly synced to google? This happened to me before. But once I synced my contacts to google they're now properly merged. Weird issue though.

Android Messages App Showing Blank Conversation Threads

Hello everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+ running Android 7.0, Samsung Experience version 8.1. I recently cleared the cache on the stock Android Messages texting app because I wasn't able to receive MMS messages, and now it's showing flashing, blank threads (looks like conversations are trying to sync, but aren't). I've attached a pic to better show the issue.
I searched the site and found someone else who had the same issue, but there wasn't an answer posted in that thread. I contacted the app developer and haven't received a response back. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
