Possible BUG - No Contact Photo.... - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I have a strange BUG with my Nexus 6. When someone calls me, in 70% of the times his/hers contact photo does not appear! only the default one (like the contact doesn't have a photo) Some times this happens even while I'm calling someone....
I'm on Stock Rooted 5.0.1 rom without any modifications.... (this was happening even before I rooted it)
Ideas?

I'm having this same issue. Thought it was just me since i haven't seen anyone complain about it.

+1
Also i feel like i am back to a crappy Samsung,with lag of 1 second or so when i open the Google Dialer;some ppl say its because of HD photos of favorites contacts.Wish also a solution for this.

I have even factory reset the phone two times and still the same thing! Some times it shows, some times it doesn't.... Very annoying!

Distorted sound on some HD video recorded on phone

I've noticed that sometimes when I record HD video with my IS, on playback I hear awful high pitched screetching over the audio.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I have had that issue with MIUI (an older version, not sure about the latest build), but there were known issues with the camera.
nothing with any of the other roms.
Well, I've done a factory reset and still have the problem. It doesn't happen all the time, perhaps 1 out of 5 times. I'll have to see if I can return my phone.

on arhd,
heres a link

Tried your link but there's a message saying 'video converting'. I exchanged my phone today, this is the 3rd IS for me and hopefully the last.
Edit: Yes, that sounds very much like the sound I was getting.
Same issue after recent update, hard reset solved the prob!
What's that, a battery pull, a reboot or other?

[Q] Bug with text getting really small

Hey guys, so I got my Pebble a few days ago and I noticed a weird glitch that has happened to me everyday where the text would randomly get really small on the watch face and any notification. I think it might have to do with Glance, because Glance seems to freeze up when this happens and eventually reboots. The text goes back to normal after this. This isn't a huge problem since it reboots very quickly, but I was just curious if there might be a fix Thanks.
So, this bug is occurring almost everyday. Again, it reboots in literally 2 seconds so it's not a huge deal, but I was just curious if anyone else had the problem. I took a picture when it happened, it's not very clear. Basically, the text gets very small and then if I go into Glance, I see this http://imgur.com/CP3dTa3. Half the screen is black and then right after I try to scroll within the screen it reboots and then it's fine for a day or so. I think it's most likely a problem with glance but I'm not sure.

I've experienced this too, the small text anyway. I've never gone to look at Glance when it happens. I'll try to remember to check that next time it happens.
Unfortunately I can't really be of much help with a fix.

I guess I can try uninstalling glance and see if the problem disappears.
That's a bug with pebble and 3rd party apps. I've noticed it with other 3rd party apps other then glance.
I have to notice that on pebble after a factory reset and no 3rd party app.

The small print means that the Pebble is running out of memory, usually caused by third party apps. Glance has this problem and that's the reason I don't use it. With 2.x firmware I haven't had the issue, but still not using Glance, so i don't know if the problem is solved

Thanks guys for the explanation. I suppose that makes sense. Again, not a huge issue, just my thing is that I want to make sure it's not a defect in the device.

[Q] SMS delay problem

Hello guys
i just got a LG L90 a few days ago from T-Mobile
But I suspect there is some SMS delay problems with it
somehow i don't get sms for maybe hours,
and suddenly sms just come popping all up at around the same time
I tried with a few friends. some got it normal but one got my sms 2-3 hours late!
However there are times it work just fine with everyone though
Wondering if any has met the same problem and if there is. Have you figured out a solution for this?
I have contacted T-mobile just now and hopefully the assistants clearing cache method will work for me
No you are not the only one, I too have the same problems (although not as extreme).
As for a fix, luckily with KitKat we can choose a default messaging app and I recommend chompSMS or Textra, they seem to eliminate those pesky delay problems, but although it works for me, I can't guarantee it will work for you.

Yeah, I've switch to Google hangout, still a delay :crying:
And also my device suddenly wouldn't charge earlier, i had to disconnect and reconnect 4-5 times before it charges
using Google chrome also keep killing background tasks, keyboard wouldn't show up, screen dimmer keeps getting killed
even the whole UI blank out sometimes and I'm forced to restart
I think I should try flashing a custom ROM? would it be something about the custom one? i don't have much apps installed, problems shouldn't be due to a lack of RAM...
Anyone can help?
There are a few Roms available, check out @Quarxs one about cm 11

Thanks I'll definitely look into the thread
Did you ever resolve your texts not going through? We have an L90 bought from tmobile prepaid but activated with ultra mobile. Sometimes go to send a text and it just says sending and doesn't go through. At this same time I tried to send a text to that phone and it wasn't received. Rebooted the phone and the messages started going through. Using stock messaging app. I haven't tried a different app. It's my daughters phone and she doesn't deal well with changing the apps around so I want to avoid it if possible.

Pixel 4XL and Google Photos - Exteremly Sluggish

Google Photos VERY Slow On Pixel 4 XL 0 Replies 0 Upvotes
I’ve been having some poor performance out of my Pixel 4XL and Google Photos and I am not sure what is causing it.
There are several things going on…
· When taking a photo, there is a significant delay before you can see it in Google Photos.
· If I take a photo, the “processing” of it can take 10-30 seconds, more so on portrait mode and it will produce a black screen fore as many or longer seconds.
· If I take a screenshot and immediately try to open, it again, 10-30 second delay.
· Editing a photo or screen shot produces the same 10-30 delay.
· Bulk deleting photos can take a long time and leave little placeholders for the photos.
· Sometimes just going into Google Photos, it can leave placeholders for several moments of time.
Troubleshooting So Far
· Cleared cache and data.
o This resulted in taking Google Photos hours to recache my photos in the app.
· Safe Mode
o Loaded safe mode and cleared cache and data and then rebooted.
o Still took hours to recached.
o Performance improved for a while but then poor performance returned.
· Factory Reset
o Factory reset provided short term relief but problem returned.
· Different Pixel 4XL
o A second, new Pixel 4 XL resulted in the problem returning.
What could this be? I would think since this happened after factory reset and new phone that it is a Google Photos problem? Could it be another app doing this?
I do have a Note 10+ that I am going to give it a good run through to see if the problem is there too.
Really want to get this fixed as I prefer the Pixel.
Thanks…
Are you stock or rooted? It could very well be an app causing your issue. My wife had a similar problem with her 4XL. I had to factory reset and install her apps a couple at a time until I found the culprit. I can't remember what app was causing the problem but it was something that she didn't really use.

I am stock and that makes sense. I fired up my Note 10+ with hardly any other app installed and Google Photos is fast. Hmmm...I can't imagine what app it would be but I would assume a photo or video app first.

Do a factory reset with a clean install. See how it runs before adding any 3rd party apps. If everything is good start adding them back a few at a time starting with your must have apps. It will take a little time but the problem app should show up.
UPDATE -
It is interesting in that I can take photos of all kinds for about a minute or so and then this sluggish problem starts in. I wait a little while and it works "as normal" for a while and then kicks in again...if I click on a photo within the camera app after taking it to watch it "process", if it blanks the screen, I know the problem has returned.
I've deleted a bunch of apps and still got the same problem...I guess I'll schedule a factory reset this weekend but I find it odd that this happened on two different Pixel 4 XL's but can't reproduce it on my Note 10+...for sure an issue with Google Camera / Google Photos and perhaps my account if it isn't a rogue app.

I think I may have found the culprit as so far, I've not been able to reproduce the problem since doing this...
I sideloaded Google Playground Stranger Things and The Last Jedi, since I love them but they are no longer available to download. It was one of the last things I tried to uninstall and the only other app I could think of that uses Google Camera. So far, the problem has gone...
It was odd that it would also affect Google Photos and cause constant sluggishness.

Well, I thought that was it...it worked flawlessly for several days and it is back again...you can take several photos for a while but then the preview of the photo will go black for 20 seconds up to 2 minutes. I guess a factory reset is in store but considering this happened on two different Pixel's, just not sure what would be causing it because I so thought I had found the cause.

Before a reset try to use the phone in Safe mode i guess.

I booted into safe mode and problem continues...camera (when viewing previews or watching ir process) and Google Photos (waiting on on photos to appear) results in very long delays. I guess I can try a factor reset but I'm afraid it will come back.

Okay! Do you have any beta apps installed? And what external apps do you use?
Here's an update...
I decided on a factory reset. I was a little more judicious on reinstalling apps so did a little at a time...it worked fine until yesterday and the dang sluggish problem returned. The only apps I installed the day before this happened again were Office (the new Office Suite App) and GroupMe. I removed them both, rebooted and the problem persists.
I also made sure no Beta apps of any kind were installed.
At this point, since this happened on two separate Pixel's and not my Note 10, there has to be something going on between Google Camera, Google Photos and my Google Account. I almost don't want to contact Google because they may give me the same "do this or that." This is actually a debilitating problem, so I may have to switch to the Note 10+.

It's weird because it works fine initially and then the problem arise. I am still not sure whats causing it. because if it was something between google apps then it should have been from the very start.

You need to threaten them and ask for their supervisor and make a case like you are frustrated because of it due to lockdown and they need be quick on their response. It works

Tap To Wake Stops Working

Anybody notice that tap to wake intermittently stops working? I'm thinking that it happens when the phone has been sitting untouched for some time but I'm not sure. Maybe it is designed like this to save battery?
When the tap to wake doesn't work does face unlock stop working too?
If so it's a known problem

My problem exactly! I'm new to the 4XL, has this been a long-standing problem? Has Google already acknowledged the problem, and are they going to patch it? I have been restarting my phone 2 or 3 times a day. I was beginning to think it was defective. So glad I saw this post.

I have this problem but not as bad as you. I normally have to restart my phone every 2-3 days due to this problem. I've spoken to someone a Google, they said that I have to see if a factory reset fixes the issue, (but it is very unlikely as many users have reported that it doesn't), if the problem still persists then I will have to send it to them to get a replacement. The person told me they don't know what causes the problem and don't have a solution. I don't see how a replacement is a good option considering that will probably become faulty to if they don't have a fix for it.
