Hey everyone. I have an annoying issue that has reoccurred multiple times now. I've used a workaround of just manually adding my picture to it before.
In my Galaxy S5, the "My Info" local profile shows the standard avatar, and only my phone number. I previously manually added my own picture, just so I would see my own picture in the messaging app.
Is there a way to link the local contact with my Google+/Facebook/Gmail picture? I have a contact entry for my own info under "Me" that I manually entered in Gmail years ago.
Just to clarify, this is the contact entry that appears to be locally saved on the phone, undeletable, and the contact picture of that entry shows as your picture in the messaging app.

Hello fellow HD2 Users,
Is it possible to have a picture thumbnail of the contact on the upper right corner of the email message preview just like the one shown in the attached file? i am using T-Mobile US version.
Any help is much appreciated!
I posted the exact same request a while ago. Seems it is not possible unless some creative fellow wants to give it a go.
I accidentally found that picture and noticed the contact thumbnail photo on the upper right hand side. It seems like this is a rendered 3D image of the HD2. I'm not sure why they had it like that for the built-in email app.
I have the picture in non-conversation mode texts and e-mails - but only if the text number or e-mail address is in my contacts (and that contact has a picture attached to it).

It shows up on the email tab screen (i.e. like the screenshot posted)? For me, if an email is associated with the contact, the pic shows up to the left of the From: field when you click into the email...
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.
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
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...
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??
