Not sure but I think the photo comes from the contacts database if you have photos assigned there, and is triggered by the Caller ID feature - which is not used for SMS. I imagine that there is probably a third party application that would do that. Have to search around, though.

if u used the palm threaded sms app it does this.. i can not post where to find it because the site got introuble b4 when it was posted but just goole it..

Handcent?

On Handcent when I send a Message the Icon of the person I am sending it to Shows the Picture I have assigned to the Contact. How do I place a Picture of myself in the Sender Icon?
Thanks

You should just have to put your own phone number in your contacts with a picture of yourself and it should show up when you send them. It works for me

Thanks. That was my 1st thought but decide to ask of possible other ways. Glad to hear this way works.
Thanks again

You don't have to do this. You just go to Settings>Handcent services. The top option is account picture. Click that and you're set. You don't have to have your own number and picture in your contacts as it's pointless.

Ya my bad, this is actually how I did it. I just assumed it was due to having myself as a contact.

Should have asked this in the Handcent forums.

[Q] Contact pictures

It may be a dumb question, but i could't figure out how.
How can i see contact pictures when somebody call me?
i synced my contacts with facebook and i can see their pictures in contact list. but when somebody call me instead of their pictures my phone shows a white - blue standart picture for everyone.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
maybe this thread solves your problem. I couldn't try it out since all my contacts are synced via googlemail, but is sounds like the solution to your problem.

Thank you very much, it did the trick for me

How do you save a photo in the HTC Mail app

This might sound daft but I'm at a loss. I got an email with a photo on it. The photo shows inline in the email and not as a separate attachment. I need to save the photo but pressing on it does nothing.
Any ideas?

I just tested this. It appears there is no way to save it. Tapping and holding does nothing and there are no options anywhere to save attachments. I think if it's in-line, you're screwed. I have seen this on other devices. They basically treat it like HTML.

Crazy.
Time to log this with HTC. Basically an email from an iPad and I assume iPhone will create this problem.

[Q] Whatsapp photos in Contacts?

Whenever I select Whatsapp as the source for the contact photo, it doesn't show a picture.
I know for a fact that the person has a photo in Whatsapp.
Am I doing something wrong here? Missing a setting somewhere, or does it just not work?
