New user Android question, regarding pictures for contacts

Hey all, new HTC Legend owner here and am absolutely loving the phone, but jsut had a quick question. I went into gmail and assigned some contacts (since I sync from gmail for contacts list) some pictures so our SMS chats would look pretty. And they do look pretty, but I can't figure out how to assign an avatar to MYSELF.
What I mean is, take a look at this chat message I'm having with a friend

She has a pretty rose for her picture but why do I look like a seuxal predator?? How do I change that!!
Thanks in advance all!!

Mine was like this for a while then it suddenly just started showing my avatar try resting your avatar in Google then force a re sync. Mine only started showing once I changed my fb image so give it a go

I don't use stock messaging app (I don't even have it installed), but I can tell you that handcent has option to add your picture.

[Q] Unable to access Google Account setup

I'm having a very strange problem today. I reflashed back to my previous rom and now can't access my Google Account which has always worked previously. I can sign in to gmail and receive emails, but when run the Setup and I click on Google Account - nothing happens. Also it normally says "Tap to setup" and now it's showing google_login .
I also went to Settings>Accounts & Sync and tried to add an account, but Google is not one of the options available. If I try to access the Market thinking I could sign in there, again nothing happens - press market icon and it just returns to the app drawer. I have seen some posts and articles from endgadget where there were comments about problems being experienced with the market, but has anyone experienced this as haven't seen any similar posts?

check to make sure you have accountsyncmanager.apk in your system/apps folder. I repacked my own system.img and took out some apps I didn't need or wanted and accidently had taken that one out and experienced similar behavior.

Thanks for the pointer, but the accountsyncmanager.apk is there in the system/apps folder.
I can choose to add Facebook, Twitter, Flikr accounts etc, but not Google.

Missing widgets

Hi!
In several videos, one can see two widgets that I can not find on my Xperia Arc. Where can you find them?

Thanks

I'd also like a widget like the second one you've posted which appears to show your favorites.
There was one included on my HTC which I guess was part of Sense, but there doesn't appear to be one included on my Arc.
I also can't find a full screen calendar widget like I had on the HTC. Can anyone suggest one ?
Thanks.

me too ....

Jorte is a good calendar app and has widgets of every size!!.. and photo contacts widget off the market might give you something close to what you're looking for.. that said I've recently started using life.contacts from SE developers - also off the market, which I like a lot.

For contacts, you could try this one from SE:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It could be some beta widgets that didn't make the final cut... or widgets coming in another update...

When I had a Galaxy Note, they started a Google+ Circle to discuss anything Note related and figured we should do the same with our new S3's!
Make sure you have Google+ downloaded on your phone with the google plus messenger (comes with it anyway). https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.plus&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5nb29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC5hcHBzLnBsdXMiXQ..
Click this link to view the circle. Join or comment the circle and I'll add you to the Messenger+ chat.

Once added to chat, if you'd like messages silent, select mute from menu in the chat.

Sorry, If you've added me in the past few hours, you'll have to re-add the circle. make sure you comment on the circle and add it. The notifications bar pooped out.

Asked to be added, I'm going to get one soon.

Anybody know why I can't seem to get my G+ account reinstated? It was suspended...I emailed them about it...never got a response. (a month now?) Should I just delete the account and try again...or just use a different account?

Updated. Everyone who's commented has been added.

[Q] FB messenger SMS integration problem

Hi guys! Just got a GS4 after a long debate over the HTC one vs GS4. In my past, I had a WP7 Focus S and an Iphone.
I'm trying to get facebook messenger to integrate the sms function, but when I go to settings, there is no option to enable SMS/MMS integration. Is this just a problem on my end, or does the GS4 not have this ability yet?
Thanks so much! Looking forward to becoming an active user of these forums, and especially looking forward to GS4 bootloader unlock!

Can someone just look in their Facebook Messenger app and see if the ams option is there?

I've figured out that if someone else signs in to fb Messenger on my phone the sms can be enabled. Anyone figure out how to enable it in a specific account?

If I click on "text messaging (sms/mms)" above "info and accounts" I have these options:
