How do you set contact pix? Whenever I try it brings up a weird list of contacts... I think associated with my gmail. And there is no way to do it from the contacts list
Phoenix has risen
All I do is go to the contacts, click on the contact I want to edit, press the menu button, then press edit. Once in the edit screen I just press the box with the plus and a silhouette of a person. From there just select and crop the pic and save. Hope this works for you.

Yea I understand that. On my girlfriends phone that is also possible but on mine when I press edit and all I see is name, number and email. There is no silloette

I think I know whats going on. Im pretty sure your phone is showing you contacts that are on your sim card. When I selected to show sim card contacts thats all I see too. When I select to show contacts on the phone and gmail then it gives the contact picture option.

Has anyone noticed that when u go into contacts there is a history tab that saves every email, mms, sms & call sent or recieved by the phone. This is very annoying when u go to erase ur call & sms log as you also have to go into contacts and erase the history log also. Is there anyway to turn this off, is there a change in froyo?
Thanks in advance

Still has never worked for me... i've set it numerous times to just show calls, they all still show back up eventually. Don't know why the settings won't stay?
Thanks i'll try this and report back.

Yup does the same thing to me, thanks anyway.
How can I set it so, in messaging, it shows a picture of myself instead of a grey box? I have myself in the box as a contact, with a picture set, but it hasn't appeared.
I did it on my hd2, but I don't remember how I did it..
If you have your Facebook info syncing, it should filter from that. If you do not, save your phone number into your contacts and then assign a pic for it. When you send a text, it will pull your pic from your contacts.
Oh..I should have specified...I"m running CM7 nightly 12. Facebook is synced and, like I said, I have myself as a contact with a picture associated with it and its still not pulling the picture
Hmm I had that problem with CM7 too. Go into Settings > Call Settings > Additional Settings > My phone number.
I think by default that is blank. Put in your number in the same format you have it saved in your contact list as.
If you have already done that, there's nothing else I got for ya. Hopefully someone else knows.

This has been discussed before so many times :O search=
Just to be clear when you add your phone number save the contact "Me" in Phone and not in Google and add avatar it will stick. For other device like Nexus you have to save # in SIM as "Me" and then apply photo.
I did search..tried messaging and contact icon and saw nothing related to the issue in the results.
I have sync Facebook for HTC sense. So far is good i like having pictures on my contacts. The only thing is when i press phone to call someone it pulls the phone numbers from a long list of facebook friends. I dont want to pocket call anyone that i havent seen in a lot time. I know i can delete my facebook htc account but is there another way? Thanks
Hit the menu button in the contacts list. Then choose display options. You can turn it off there.
I went through and deleted all duplicate contacts, now they are back again. what am i doing wrong?

Are your contacts synced to google, phone or tmobile?
Go into contacts > hit the menu button > display options
From there you can choose which contacts to display. I save all my contacts to google by default, so i disabled everything that isn't google from showing up. That happens because tmobile backs up your contacts. I wouldn't disable the contacts backup, it's better to have duplicates, but you can disable your phone from showing them.
Or you can join them.

So when you text someone, let's say their name is Dan, a circle with the letter D will appear next to the message they sent you. If you want, you can set a picture and the pic will take the place of the circled letter.
My GF just got the pixel and not only does the circle and letter appear next to the person's message, but it also appears next to her messages as well.
On MY phone, I see the circle and letter for the other person, but not for myself. Is there a way I can enable that for myself and set a picture for myself as well?
I hope this makes sense. If not, I can try and post some pics of this phenomenon.

Know exactly what you're talking about. And if you're using the Verizon Messages+ app, there's no changing it. Other messaging apps let you have avatars for both the sender and the recipient, or none for both.
Neither my phone or my GFs phone are Verizon, but her phone has the circled letter by her name and mine doesn't. She just got the same phone yesterday (used), did a factory reset and started from scratch. Not sure what's different about her phone from mine

What messaging app are you using? You do not have to be on Verizon to use the Messages+ all. So, what app do you use, and what does she use?

I've never seen an avatar for my messages other than in hangouts.
Do you have multiple entries in Contacts for yourself? I wonder if the default entry "Me" causes confusions as to which avatar to display.

I don't have any entries for myself in contacts. I actually tried to add myself, but it still didn't display an avatar next to my messages
This always bugged me too. i noticed if i sign-in to google + it updates my picture for the "me" contact and uses my pic for messenger as well.
So I just factory reset my phone, and when it initially restarted, messenger was showing a circle with my initial by my messages. Then an update from the play store for messenger installed, and now that circle is gone.
