I know Google doesn't sync good-res contact pictures.. blah blah blah
My thing is...
I've been using Oxygen and CyannogenMod for almost half a year and I just switched to LeeDroid HD 3.3.3 this morning... **I don't have a Facebook account** I realised that whenever I set a contact picture from the Gallery while the phone is offline.. the pictures look GREAT when making or receiving calls.. when online, Google does its sync low-res sh*t.
I just wanna use those pictures I choose from gallery as overlay, not as google cntc's pic.
Can I stop the contacts' pictures syncing? by any any any means?
Logout of FB and then again Login..This time select the option don't sync your contacts!!

The dude doesn't have a Facebook account.
How about updating the contact pictures of your Google contacts from the web itself instead of from the phone?
Honestly don't know if it will work. I haven't tried it but it's worth a shot.

This thread is now about how awesome this gif is.
Why would sprint Post this up that it is AVAILABLE when it's CLEARLY NOT? Now their servers are going to get overloaded with REquests for the software when it is not even available for download yet. It's irritating..
Great news folks! I found my flux capacitor!!
man this is getting out of hand... one after another

You realize it was almost off the front page till you replied.
Whenever I look at a text message conversation it puts "Me" as blank picture: (see first picture).
But whenever I try to edit "Me" from the "People" application, the device just hangs and won't let me edit anything. Does this happen to anyone else or does anyone know where to fix it? Thanks!

From what I remember reading a while back, you will need to make sure that your sim card has your number set in to it... From what I remember reading, you can do this using an iphone or a blackberry... The cyanogenmod rom used to do this from what I recall... But can't say 100%...
Unless someone can correct me, as I only used android for a few weeks
I'd like to piggyback off this question and ask if theres a way to make one of our contacts "Me" or just overwrite it.

On Windows Mobile there was an option to copy any contact into the "Me" contact but I can't find that option, should there be one on Android!
The "Me" thing is an HTC thing, not an ANDROID thing. In Vanilla Android there is nothing like this in the People area, you just have a contact card of yourself. I can edit my "Me" information fine. If you go on Google.com and edit your contacts with your name, it seems to change it as you login to facebook and stuff and it auto associates you with yourself, ie my Facebook is Josh ______, my twitter is GlitchZero, it auto links these things to "Me" or "Josh ______" in my Google contacts.
Ah thank you for that information. I did a hard reset & made sure "Me" was not associated with any Facebook or Google account & it works perfectly, thanks!

If you go to contacts, selected one and than change picture, you select a good resolution picture from your sd card and confirm, this way the pics won't be blurry. That was the solution on the x10, which had the same problem. Don't know if its the same with arc, as mine will be delivered today, but the problem of blurry contacts sounds very familiar.

I can confirm this.
Original sync -> bad picture
manual set the picture -> good image
This is a real pain in the ass... but since there is no solution since the x10 (at least none that i've heard of...), I think we'll have to deal with this.
Only way out might be a way to change the dialer and contacts app. Is someone already looking into this??

exactly what i was looking for.. thanks buddy!!
can you also post incoming call screen?
the issue isn't caused by SE or Android... it's simply because the images held on facebook are small thumbnails.. so when they're stretched to our screen it's quite pixellated.
I might try putting a higher res image on google for one of my contacts and see if that syncs well.

Ok I have an HTC G2 rooted on virtuous ROM.
For some reason my handcent has been very sluggish
And borderline DEAD lately.
I don't know exactly what's going on, I haven't done anything different now from any other time but its quite annoying.
I installed watch dog to see if maybe something was eating up all my CPU and I just got an alert today that MessageCS is exceeding the cpu threshold. Hopefull someone can help.

sheesh no one got any ideas or help?
Ah yes I posted about something similar in the Virtuous Unity thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15073041&postcount=884
With me it was something to do with syncing my HTC Sense account to the phone, and removing it from the Accounts & Sync list got rid of the issue.
whats odd is i do not have the HTC Sense account created.
look here:

this is how my accounts and sync options look.
maybe its the HTC facebook?
also, my handcent app seems to keep force closing and lagging heavily.
this could be another reason....
Yeah I'm not really sure what's causing your MessageCS process to hog the CPU. The process is normally associated with syncing with the SMS database so if you're not really syncing it with anything, you could just try freezing the process with AntTek App Manager Root or the paid version of Titanium.
Alternatively, it's possible that you have some kind of corruption in the SMS database. I might try something like backing up all the sms, and then wiping the database. If the SMS database is causing the problem, the MessageCS process shouldn't misbehave after the wipe.
After that, I'd try restoring my messages. Something like "SMS Backup and Restore" can do this, but it won't backup any MMS. I'm not sure if Handcent has this function, but GO SMS can backup both SMS and MMS I think.
Good luck.
Beating my brain. I have noticed when I receive a lengthy text message it does not show the entire message. It gives me the option to "view all". I have searched the forums and the phone and can't seem to find an option to show the entire text. Is this just and At&t thing or Samsung?

I'm with Rogers and I have the same issue.
I'm going to avoid the Samsung apps...seems like the best thing from the issues I'm having...
Thank you all for the quick replies ☺

Facebook app does it as well. Most people have it because Facebook forces it via mobile IF you want to message people..
Yaata
Textra
Pulse
Are all amazing texting apps!
Yaata is the most customizable...And my favorite - also has chat-heads, but Android O won't support chat-heads, as of now - But we still have about a year on that.
Textra is the easiest and looks GREAT, and it's been around for a long time (at least since my S3 days, probably longer). Maybe a little smoother than Yaata, but not as many options.
Pulse is new (ish), but seems to have great features.
Facebook messenger is my go to default for sms. Mostly because of the chat heads and integration with all my FB messages
If you use Google photo you can create a link to your video in Google photo then share the link on stock messaging app with a few simple key strokes . Simple for me since I don't need all the bells and whistles from other message apps, nor do I care to familiarize myself with a new message app.
