I'm not a n00b, so I wouldn't post this unless something was up. Haven't ever had issues w/ contacts' pics loading - specifically, their Facebook profile pic. All of the entries in my Contacts list are perfect - they have their Facebook pic on them.
Today though, in the native Messages app (hush, I've been a long-time Handcent user, prior to that, ChompSMS), no one's pic appears - just the default, androgynous avatar. Well, I should say that no one's pics but my fiancee's - everyone else just has the default icon.
I cleared Cache and Data for the Messages app. I also cleared Cache partition and Dalvik Cache via Recovery.
To recap:
- Facebook for MyTouch/HTC Sense is syncing live feed and contacts just fine
- Contacts in the Contact list show their current Facebook pic
- It is only in the Messages app, that I am no longer seeing contact pics
Any ideas?
i have the same problem from time to time... what i do is export my contacts to sd, then delete the facebook for mytouch account under "Accounts & Sync". Then I go to settings, "applications", all, then clear data under contacts, and contact storage. The only bad thing is that now you have no contacts. you have to import them from your sim or sd. Then create your facebook account in accounts and sync. Then link all your contacts to their facebook account. This is a long and horrible way to fix it, but it works for me. i wish there was a faster way without deleting all of our contacts.
hope this helps
Thanks for the response, One! It's not a show-stopper, so I'm going to keep on looking for less-invasive options, but if I can't get a resolution, I'll give your steps a shot.
I do a Nandroid backup regularly, so I guess I could just flip back a few days. I'll hang on though and see if something comes out of these.
Thanks again, One.
no prob, if you find a better way, let me know... i hate deleting everything...
I added a Facebook for HTC Sense account and my contacts seemed to sync fine, except there were a few contacts that didn't link to a profile. When I tried to manually link them, it couldn't find my friend's profile!! I tried deleting the account, deleting the cache, re-adding.... its always the same!
Has anybody had this problem and is there a solution for this?
you can always go to 'application info' and delete the data of all your contacts.
(application list, menu button, manage apps, all, 'search contact storage' , clear data, 'search contact', clear data )
restart phone,
resync with google,
resync with facebook.
If this don't work a reset might be worth thinking about...
I've got the same probleme a few weeks ago,
but I solved it by installing my rom with full clean...
(but removing the data clears that part too...)
Thanks for your reply. What did you mean by the "Search Contact".... I deleted the data from Contact Storage, but didn't know what you meant by the next part.
Also, what ROM were you on before and what ROM are you on now?
By search i mean look in de list, the other are button actions, there is an storage app and the app itself.
I was on a previous version of revolution Rom. Now i am on the 3.2 version, going to test betha4 this weekend.
Let me know if it works?

hope you got it working
Still not working lol.. After data reset and clean install of Revolution ROM, same problem, and same contacts aren't able to be found lol
I also tried in Revolution Beta and same issue..
Could it be that, the profile you were looking for got already linked to some other contact? If so then you will not find them.
I think, your FB contact is getting linked to one of the google contact (based on e-mail Address, I believe), and you are trying to link them to phone contact.

It can't be, because I can find others that are already linked. I can find these people fine on the Normal Facebook link, but not the Facebook for Sense link.
Hi,

I have been searching for the same sir. The other thread that was made on this, came up with nothing.
The default behaviour of android is to save to the last location selected, but the G2 phonebook doesn't seem to allow changing from the default which is the phone memory.
Rooting the device and tinkering with the APK for the phonebook could do something, but apart from that, I havn't been able to find a solution.
Plus one on this one

i have lg g2 international and have this bug real problem for me after htc sensation
Just edit the contact and at the very top it will show where its saved, click there and chose where u want to save it to (select the gmail acct u want to use). Also you can export all your contacts to a file then login to your gmail from a computer and import that file.

Same with calendar's.
anyone found work around to this? My galaxy S2 can do it easily, once I save my 1st contact to gmail, it sets gmail as my default contact storage and I don't have to keep selecting gmail every time I want to save a new contact. But with G2 I have to keep selecting every time I want to add new contact to the list.
+1 here... (I started another thread and now I found this one with same problem)
In calendar it shows only selected calendars that is ok. And somehow it uses my default google account for calendars.
But in contacts it gives option to save to "phone, SIM, google account 1 and google account2" and default is phone.
lg g2
I have KK 4.4.2 and i have the same problem.It's very annoying...Everytime i have to change when i want to save a contact.
Thanks to this feature (bug), I have lost quite a few contacts.
This is a serious issue which can potentially prevent you from getting laid. If you know what I mean.

This is one major flaw for me. Plus the ability to not change navigation bar targets.

I did factory restore on my phone and it made the trick
Sorry for bumping old thread, but is there any fix for this?
Its annoying to click every time to change sync from phone to google, plus, I lost many contacts because of this when changed the ROM
the bug is still present in lollipop
Same bug in the G3.
I wonder if the G4 suffers from it as well.
I wish for an xposed module would fix it.
I am having trouble with saving contacts. By default it is set to "phone" and everytime I have to choose my google account when saving account.
I tried deleting data in apps , "contacts, phone, etc,..." but still when creating new contact it is selected to save in "phone"
Has anyone any clue how to set default save location to my google account?
thank you!

Go into settings while in contacts, and uncheck the other options, leaving only Google contacts selected.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
Nope... doesnt work for me... I have checked settings /contacts to show / custom and unchecked all but my google account.
stilll when typing number and saving a contact or creating new contact.. default selected is "phone"
My Incredible 4G does that too. Annoying.

Go in to Phone orContacts settings, and then click "Contacts to display"
Select your google account.
It will then default to save on your google account. Obviously you will not see contacts from the phone or other accounts but I save everything on google so works for me.
cheers!
Nothing helps - searching since 6 month!

Nope, it will remain saving new contacts to the phone as default. I also have all my contacts saved to google, because i sync it with other devices. I'm realy wondering that only a few people complain about this issue.
If someone found a solution in the meantime - please let me know. Thanks
Same here
Not really a solution but FYI http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50637743#post50637743

I have same problem but I don't know any solution for it at all. I though the KK update will make a difference but it didn't do anything. The problem remains the same in KK as it was in JB:crying:
Yip same problem here with no solution. Lost my contacts because of it. Really poor from lg.

It is not LG thing, It is KK to blame; Last update of KK (4.4.2) does ALWAYS default save location to "phone" It IS realy annoying !
you can choose google acc. from drop down menu when saving a new contact, but you have to do it so EVERY time you add new contact
P.S. And no, you have not lost your contacts: just go to settings in contacts app, then choose display contacts and select customize, then check google contacts and phone - voala
Add one more person who was wondering and getting annoyed with that... isn't it a bit strange that there's no setting to change the default contact location??
Anyway... is there a way to export contacts from the phone to Google? Say for example you're in a rush to add a bunch of contacts, can you somehow get them into your Google Contacts later on?
Guess I will try and add all contacts on a computer from now on.
One more person who finds this really awkward. It must have been the same before KitKat, because when I updated (and wiped my phone) I lost a few recently added contacts...
The same applies to the calendar, new entries are by default added to the phones calender, and I can't find a setting to change this.
Finally, whats up with the "recent calls"-menu? If I go there, I expect a list of the calls I've made, received and missed, in reversed chronological order. Going to "recent calls" on the G2... Well, I can't for the life of me figure out what it shows. I always have to go via menu and filter out either dialed, received or missed. It's idiotic.
I would be very happy if LG fixes this error in the next firmware version.
no one has found the fix yet?
its weird
When you save a new contact, you have an option above to choose . Phone Contact is default, you can also choose Google or SIM .
Hope this will help .
P.S Sorry for my english mistakes .
Problem still present in Lollipop...
No fix yet ?!

We already know this. We just want "Google" from the dropdown list as default, every time.
Still not resolving?..
Same problem for me...
Really annoying!!!
Seem impossible there's no way to trick it...
I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. I go into contacts, pick a contact, then edit (the pencil icon), and it doesn't let me add or change any fields! Everything is grayed out. If I tap on one of the fields it says "cannot edit from this app". Anyone have a solution to this?
Nm, figured it out.

If its a contact from another app it will not let you edit it. For example contacts from Facebook, Twitter, etc.

For some reason all my contacts were initially on the SIM only, and aren't editable. This has never happened with any of my previous phones...usually after you sign into Google it just imports them onto the phone. When I go into accounts, Google, my Gmail acct, there is no selection for "contacts" like there has always been. Maybe this is a jellybean thing?
Anyway, what I had to do was go into settings while in contacts and export to sd card, then import from sd card. Makes no sense why I had to do it that way, but that's the only thing that worked. Now it shows all contacts as being on the "SIM" and the phone ( shown as "device" ) on two separate tabs, and I can only edit them when I'm on the device tab.
I'm surprised I'm the only one that has asked this since I couldn't edit ANY of my contacts...
