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.

This isn't really Raphael specific but I was in a meeting today and got a call and wondered if there was any kind of program to auto-reply a caller with a text saying something like "Meeting" or whatever.
Its halfway there with the send text option on the incoming call screen and would resemble away messages on an instant messenger. If its out there has anyone heard of it? Possible for someone to tackle it and try to develop something? Might be neat
I thought that was already in the dialer? I remember seeing an option in my Fuze (before ROM Flash) about sending a text back to people who called stating you are busy orsomething. I think it was editable so you can have it say what you want.
There are some apps out there though that do just that.

This one is from 2005 but there were some new ones recently. Just can't remember their names.
theres definitely something buried in the settings for this.
i believe i was changing ring tones and noticed it...
it's for when you reject a call it will send a text which you can edit
perhaps:
start > settings > phone > advanced
is what your looking for?
never tried it to see if it actually works tho.
MagiCall from Mobiion does just that.

yep right there theres an option to enable the reply text
But when you press "reply with SMS", it takes you to SMS edit, wher eyou have to press send again. IT's really slow when some's ringing. I would prefer it sent the predefined text directly.
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.
Hello everyone,
Very odd. Whenever I reply (text message) this one person, this is what is already there in my text box on my TB. It's very annoying. It's there automatically, without me entering in ANYthing. So far, it's only happening with one of my contacts, but I haven't tried texting ALL of my contacts yet, so I don't know how widespread the problem is. Does anyone know what's wrong/if there's a fix?

For the fix go ask George's girlfriend.
If I am reading this right, I had a similar problem before.
I entered some text. Had to back out of SMS for some reason. Everytime after that, whenever I open to text the same person, the partially typed message would be displayed even if I had sent a finish version of that message already.
So... did you type in whatever it is that's bugging you before, or did it just appear out of thin air?
I don't remember how I fixed my problem but it was fixed. Try deleting your draft? Rebooting your phone?
Simple, in the mms apk
Down at the bottom there are three or two icons, slide over to the second and open the text message with the text.. now delete it and back out
Repeat the process because sometimes it saves more than one draft
The reason it does this is because the first icon is the "all" tab and so it doesn't allow u to delete drafts
So u have to navigate to the SMS/mms and delete from there

I had the exact same problem. I did the suggestions previously posted. I ended up having to delete the message cache. Do a search on and Android Central for my post since I can't remember exactly what to do.
I found the thread but can't post url. Need a few more posts.
If you haven't got it fixed try:
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All. Tap "Messages" and clear cache.
I had this happen.
Go to messaging app, then to menu, then to drafts. Delete the drafts and the problem should be fixed.
OK, I'm not talking about just removing the star next to peoples names. All stars are removed but somehow people I have called or received a call from end up being in my favorites call log. I am not talking about the regular call log, you are able to clear this call log. I'm talking about the favorites call log. It does not have the option to clear it. It only gives the option to delete the contact, which is rediculous because if you do that it actually deletes the contact completely from your contact list. This is really frustrating, please help.

If you're on CM7 there's an option to do so. Just press menu then preferences while you're in Call Log. And the option is somewhere in the middle. Says something like "Hide Frequently Called."

I'm not sure what cm7 is, but I have a stock g2x that is unlocked. However, when I push menu while in call log, it only gives the option to "clear call log".
If anyone can help, that would be great. Thanks.
I saw in the market an app called Clear Frequently Called List or something along those lines. I used it a few times, the only drawback is it doesn't keep the list clear. Once you make a call to someone, the list repopulates itsself. I wish there was an app that would keep it clear (it bothers me too!)
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.
