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.

I have my picture set up and my phone number visible as well but it still doesnt show up for me lol
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).
when i receive a picture i click on the thumbnail to bring it up and it shows the pic for like a split second then takes be back to my main page of messages. its not giving me an option to save the picture so im assuming im receiving a slideshow of pics. any help?
Which rom are you using (if you're rooted)?
Are you using the stock messenger? If yes, have you tried using Handcent or some messaging alternative?
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.

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.
Just had some pictures sent to me through the stock messenger app and when I tap the three dots in upper right hand side and tap the save it keeps saying can't save image. Why am I not able to save pictures sent to me. I have over 20 GB s of storage left but it just won't save. Am I missing something?
Screen shot
Evolve SMS, check it out.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I've had this same error many times with pictures that I had received weeks prior, but I've never had this issue with pictures received around the time I've tried to save them.
I don't know if this was the right sub-forum to ask this in, if not, please move it.
Using Textra and contact pics won't appear on the Active Display screen when holding down to read the notification. I've been going back and forth with Textra developers for the last 2 weeks for a fix and they just gave up on trying to fix it. They sent me 5 test updates to install to try to fix this notification problem with their app, but no matter what they did, contact pictures just will not show up on the AD screen like it does with FB or another texting app like Hangouts and what some people tell me, EvolveSMS.
I really don't want to get rid of Textra, because other than this, it's a great app. Does anyone know of THE fix for this problem for texting apps? What other texting app developers did for the one you're using where contact pics show up on AD? There has to be some common piece of code that needs to be implemented that texting apps it does work for used, I don't know, something I can tell them to do. Anyone here an app developer...or...know someone that made a texting app where this works? Someone told me to ask the EvolveSMS team what they did and if they can help out Textra, but I don't know how to word me asking them to help out their competition, why would anyone agree to that? Y'know?
I don't know, any help- a picture of your AD screen with contact pics with the app name you use, information if you're a developer, if you know something about this whole deal, if you could get information to convey to Textra, anything. Thanks.
