Hey guys just had a quick question about the contact pictures in 2.2 ROMS. I have only noticed it in the stock android messaging app but outgoing messages that are sent from me have no picture in the box. I was wondering how you can get that picture to populate?
Thanks in advance guys
Do you have your picture set up on your Google account?
Do that and it should be solved.

Maybe this thread is what you are looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687011
At least it seems that that is your problem...had it as well. Fixed it by adding my mobile number directly to my sim (with my old TyTNII, since Android won't let you do that).
Hi,
i was wondering if anyone knows how to display your own profile pic in the STOCK messaging app, because at the moment i can only see the other person's picture which i assigned.
i know this can be done using third party apps such as handcent etc... but i want to use the stock messaging app.
this question is for SGS-I9000 but may possible help other android phones.
Thanks for the help

Help please.. I was told that my phone has been sending sms messages to my friends on my contacts list. Without me knowing it, of course. What causes this? Any help would be appreciated.
You have obviously installed some app that has permissions to do this. Go though the most recent installs, and uninstall any that have the rights to send messages and see contact information.
Look at the sms's sent and see if there is any clue there, too.
ok thanks for the quick reply.. But how about some apps, that came already installed on the phone, I cant remove them.. Also some social apps, like the facebook and yahoo messenger.. They have this permissions, is there any way to unable the said permission? thanks!
Preinstalled apps won't do this.. Neither will facebook or Yahoo Messenger.
ok.. because those pre-installed one's also has reminders like those. So its safe for mo to re-install fb and ym?
its safe to install fb yahoo .
What are the contents of these SMS? Is it like a butt dial SMS or are your friends getting strange advertisements and links?
Sounds like malware.
uhm, they were receiving txt messages that I have already previously sent them. I mean older ones..
anyone? who has the same problem?

Yes, I had this. For some reason the texts were marked as unsent, probably because I have bad cell coverage at home. On a reboot they were all resent, regardless of if they had been sent.
I started using GO SMS and I have not had the problem. I also updated my kernel, but I cannot imagine that was the issue.
I also rooted the phone and killed off the bloatware. Perhaps it was the social hub, which I have now disabled.
could it be the "sms popup" that i installed? I installed it for me to be able to reply much easier to person texting em. Its like a pop up where you can already see the message and reply at once..
I looked at the GO SMS, I saw that it also has a reminder that it allows the phone to send text messages on its own.
Whats the best messga widget do you guys use? Thanks!

Not impossible. I think I did use that to, but the GO SMS has a popup of its own which seems better.
There is also a GO SMS widget that works quite well, I find. I prefer the popup and an unread message count shortcut.

Ok, thanks!
I've posted this question in the HTC ONE forum on AndroidCentral as well, but I haven't had any responses yet. I'd love to see if this is an HTC ONE related issue, or if it's possibly just an issue with my wife's phone specifically.
Any help or insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I picked up an HTC One for my wife yesterday and she tinkered with it all evening yesterday. One thing she noticed that I was unable to answer was sending pictures using the SHARE option. Sure, you can open up the default text messaging app and send a picture, but typically she'll share Facebook messages or share multiple photos from an app like QuickPic and then select MESSAGING to send the photos. Right now, it's forcing her to save the pictures, then open the messaging app and attach them.
I looked myself and noticed there is a very limited number of apps available under the SHARE option when you're trying to share an image from any app (Gallery, QuickPic, Facebook, etc). There does not seem to be a way of sharing images (single or multiple) directly from the image viewer or original app, you have to open the messenger app and then add them one by one.
I even tried downloading AndMade Share, but that showed the same limited list of apps to share with.
Am I missing something? I looked through the list of messaging settings, tried searching online here and on XDA, and couldn't find any mention of this issue. I'd rather not install a 3rd party messaging app to gain this ability, but if it's required then so be it.
As a side note, she's loving the phone overall. The camera is stellar and getting the phone for $169 at Costco was a bonus as well (even came with a free fitted transulucent plastic case, which was nice). The HTC included ear buds were also very nice. Overall, very impressed with the phone and included goodies.
in pic gallery go to share at the bottom it says more press that i get 11 options im not on facbook or twitter so i dont get them up i get messages mail gmail bluetooth dropbox and so on hope that helps

Thanks for the response. I'll take a look at her phone when she gets home tonight.
I tried that last night and the items I got were:
Send to AT&T Locker
Gmail
Email
Facebook
Picasa
Dropbox
and a few others.
I'll post a screen cap if it still isn't working.
Just seems odd that even with Andmade Share MESSAGES wasn't showing. Maybe I was just not seeing it in the list on the phone. That's entirely possible, as we had just got back into town last night when this occurred.

Looks like you can use Share to send one picture via the stock Gallery app, but no luck sharing with QuickPic (single or multiple selected photos) or Facebook to the stock messaging app.
Here are screen caps of the QuickPic SHARE options. Options are similar within Facebook as well.
Just an update:
I e-mailed the developer for QuickPic to mention the issue my wife was having with her HTC one. They responded that it's an issue with the HTC Messaging app. According to him, HTC limits which apps can share pictures with the messaging app.
Looks like the answer will be to use a non-stock messenger.
Same issue. I want to send memes from an app, but don't get the option unless I save to gallery. Third party messenger it is, I guess.
Sent from my HTC One (M7)
Its stupid things like this that give everyone a reason to bash android as a whole. I cannot wait for an aosp ROM to become available for this thing.CComing from aokp on my nexus is making me frustrated with sense.
Updated to stock 4.4.2 today and after that my contact pics are gone from Textra. I have also tried Handcent and Ninja sms but contact pics only show in my contact list and in the stock messaging app.
Tried removing the Facebook sync and uninstalling Textra. Then restarted, readded the Facebook sync and then reinstalled Textra. Didn't get me anywhere.
I've googled and searched this forum but it seems that I'm fairly alone with this issue after this update. Worked fine before the update on stock 4.3.
Any ideas?

Did you ever solve this? I have the same problem as you. HTC One with Textra...cleared data/cache from app. Uninstalled, then reinstalled and still nothing. Never had an issue before 4.4.2

Unfortunately no. I gave up and installed Sync Me recommended by the Textra team. It fixed the problem but I don't like having to install an additional app to solve my problem.

ya, i was about to reply with the same solution. i installed it, synced everything and then just hibernated sync.me. Definitely not a great solution but i've had issues with every single sms app out there and this one has had the least amount of issues so hopefully this is it.

Yep. I had this problem after updating to 4.4 and still in 4.4.2. I asked around but nobody ever answered me. Did some searching and I believe it is because either Facebook or Google or HTC only allows for the Contact photos to be used in system apps (such as the stock messaging app or stock contacts app) but not for third-party apps, hence the need of sync.me or haxsync or whatever. I have been searching for another solution cause I hate that stuff and I feel like the only solution is to flash a custom rom. Just thought I'd share.
Also, someone else asked in Dec but no replies

You have to remember that awhile ago google removed the facebiok sync option from the stick set up due to FB privacy policies. You will have no choice but to use a 3rd party app to do this from now on, if you want to sync to FB.

I read about that searching for an answer to the problem, however I read the change was made back in 4.1. I upgraded from 4.3 and this was not an issue before the upgrade. Sync me runs smoothly in the background and doesn't bother me much so for now I'm going along with it.
System app fix
There's a simple fix without a third party syncing app if you're rooted. Use titanium backup to convert Textra to a system app and all your contact pictures should show right up. I know I'm a little late to the party, but I figured I'd throw this out there in case anyone was still looking for a fix.

This process worked for me too, except I used FX File Explorer to move the apk to the system/app folder using root explorer. (I didn't have the donate version of Titanium Backup to convert it to a system app.) Just needed to reboot and all the contact pics showed up. Sprint HTC One M7. (Android 4.4.3 but also worked on 4.4.2). Thanks for this great tip!
