Few Qs - Epic 4G General

I'm coming from a blackberry and it would pull the photo from facebook and show it next to the text message. When I go to text with the Epic it will show the name of the person and the blue photo place holder area but not the photo of the contact, If I click the photo place holder and and pick to view the contact it shows that there is a photo associated with the contact. It just will not carry it over to the text screen.
Also, Facebook or Email(hotmail) will not come threw, I have to click them and manually get the new email/fb comments etc. or I will never see them. I have them set up to get new info every hour but nothing ever comes in on it's own.

ok I fix the pics in text, I open the facebook app and made it unsync with my phone, I then went to the contacts screen and went to "get friends' and pick facebook then check the ppl i have in my phonebook and it it work.
I also am getting emails now but still no FB notifications.

Favorites Actions/Icons

When using my Imagio phone, I have discovered that if I add a Contact to my Favorites who has only ONE telephone number associated with that contact, the Favorite's text and e-mail icons below the contact picture are mismatched. In other words, if you touch the text icon under the contact photo, the screen opens as a new e-mail message with the e-mail address filled in. Conversely, if you touch the e-mail icon under the contact photo, the screen opens as a new text message with the text number filled in. Can anyone else reproduce this issue and is there a fix?
Thanks
HTC is very aware...

I had reported this with the stock ROM to HTC & Verizon; guess they didn't fix it with the update.

I just found out that MR1 IS approved by both HTC and Verizon. You can link to the update through Verizon's web site. If you download however and view the README file, it says that the update enhances the TV software. It mentions nothing else...........hmmm

SMS - Contact pictures

My Atrix is not diplaying any contact pictures (mostly Facebook) next to my sms conversation. It just shows androidlogo for everyone. Can this be changed somehow?
For mine all I had to do was enter the Facebook app and open up my friends list and scroll down all the way so it loads all the pics..It refreshes the SMS contact pics

contacts missing in sms and call

Hi
i understand that on the nexus 4 and jelly bean, the "contacts" app displays every contacts, with or without phone numbers,while, on the other hand, the contacts dislayed in the "call" app, are only the ones with phone number. (same goes with sms, when entering the first letters of a contact name).
However, i have an issue that, many contacts i have, even though they have mobile numbers assigned to them, don't display in the call app or sms app...
Does this happen to you too?
Wait,
i think i figured it out.
it seems the contacts that caused this issue had no real name, even though they were displaying one in my contacts...
i'll explain. lets say i want to write a text to John Doe.
John Doe is displayed in my contacts from the contact app, but if, in messages app, i select "new" and in the "to" field, i start to write john, the name "john doe" doesn't pop.
then i go back to my contacts, click john doe, edit him, and the name field is empty... weird given android already displays this contact as john doe...

Contacts troubleshooting

I'm posting this here because it seems to be an issue specific to the messaging app on my S4.. I have ONE contact that, when I try to send an MMS to, can never find the right person, unless I go to a chat with her and attach it after the fact. Here's the way I typically do it (and what happens):
- Open Gallery and find a photo
- Choose Share and Messaging
- Start typing her name in the To: field
At this point, her name will show up, BUT the name that shows up only has an email address associated with it and no phone number. If I send, it sends her an email and no MMS.
If I open the Contacts app, her name shows up twice: once with just the email address, and once with all the contact info I have.
If I log in to Gmail (where I normally go to reconcile all these quirks) and look at her in contacts, her name shows up once with all the contact info.
WTF do I need to do? Where is the email-only contact coming from??

'Refreshed' Email Application

I noticed the default Email application (with the yellow icon) has been updated. I now see icons representing the name of the contact, similar interface to Gmail, etc. One thing I thought I remember reading about was message threading. This doesn't seem to be working though. Each email I with the same subject (just replies) is continuing to be put in a separate thread/email item. Is there an option I am missing that will enable threading? Sure, it's not a huge disappointment, but I figured with this many years under its belt, the default Email app would allow threading of messages. My dad doesn't like text messaging so we regularly email throughout the day resulting in 12+ emails. Right now, they are still showing up as 10+ email even though they could be shown similar to Gmail in 1 thread.
Thanks.
I'd like to know how to stop conversations in gmail!
I can't help with that, but I have another question someone might know the answer to: how to hide the "Show X more folders" that is ALWAYS at the top of the email inbox view?
