I'm pretty sure you can't change that. People who are in your contact list can change how you show up (and you can change your buddy's display names), but you can't change you look in your client.

I dont get it :/ , could it be because i created my gmail account a long while ago and the displayed name was the whole email address instead of my name?

Its just not something you can customize. You can change how people on your list look but you can't change how you look, besides setting your profile picture.

Of course you can change it.

"I have tried everything and nothing works. And of course no one from google is able to answer this question...that sucks!!"
I did it to my account. From memory I had to do it inside my Gmail settings or Google+ or something?

No kiddin!?
I didn't even know it did that.
From the Email tab, Menu/Accounts/Accounts, highlight your e-mail account and choose options. Then tap on the Signatures button and put in anything you want (or nothing.)
Thanks
Thanks a lot - Worked perfectly.
It seems your'e actually using the phone. I was beginning to get the feeling that most members only had it to cook rom's and change reg. values.

It only does it by default if you use the Outlook email account (for push or sync email)

opppsssssss
Hey all.
I love myself so much that I would love to see my face near the "Me" mention within SMS threads.
However, while all my contacts have their own contact icon showing up near their names, I only get to have a grey square near the "Me" mention when I send SMSs (check screenshot above).
Anyone knows how to fix this ?
Thanks !

I'd like to know this too. I have my google profile set up with some info including a pic. The google calendar does seem to pick up my bday from there, but the Messaging app don't appear to be using my picture on my nexus s.
I've tried to do this too on my Hero to no avail.
WTF? for real?
Go in your Contacts and find the first contact card named Me. Then just insert your own photo by clicking the box and selecting it, you are done.

There is no "Me" entry in my contact list.
EDIT : tried to manually create a "Me" contact. I'm still having a gray square near the "Me" mention in SMS threads.
WTF? Thats more retarded idk what google doing these days.
Do it manually then by going to your SMS thread and clicking "Me" and by adding yourself via New Contact. Then put whatever you want in data input and click on the User Avatar and pick your photo.
You need to ensure your mobile number is attached to the contact.
If you're using handcent you can

You just need to sign in to your google profile and add a picture there. Then it will change.
www.google.com and sign in.
Click settings > account settings. Click Edit Profile.
If you change it with handcent it will work for all SMS apps even after uninstall of handcent. Works for me on the stock message app.

Do you have a contact created with YOUR mobile phone number attached to it?
You may also need to ensure that "My Phone Number" in about -> phone shows your number (search for a guide if you need it).

Yes, I do have a contact with my phone number attached to it.
However, I'm not able to change the "My phone number" setting in the "About" menu.
See screenshot above :
Guys - this is in other threads - you need to assign your phone number on your SIM. You CANNOT do this form the NS. So - find some old phone, plug your SIM in and write the phone number to it - then when you use it back in the NS you'll get your picture...

How do I do this ?
Just inserted my SIM card in an iPhone, and I cannot edit the "My number" entry.
As the chap above said this is discussed elsewhere. Sony erricson phones will let you do it.
OK I worked around the issue in this way:
From my gmail (on a computer), I created a contact for myself. I added my phone number, and my gmail account as the email. Then for the picture, the contact manager let me use "their picture". In this case, "their picture" is the picture I assigned to myself in my google account profile.
This really isn't a "solution", just a workaround. You also really shouldn't have to use 2 phones to sync your own google account profile to your own "pure google experience" phone. Android should automatically have a contact that syncs your google profile info, so you don't have to type it in twice. Right now only the profile pic is auto-sync'd.

Indeed.
That's pretty unacceptable for a high-end flagship device.

Which part isn't working? The part you do on your computer (setting picture as "use theirs"), or the sync to your phone?
Hello,
I'm looking for a way to save the picture i add to my contacts.
All my contacts are sync with my windows live account but i don't find any way to save the picture.
And i don't want to do this another time because it's quite long to do...
Thanks.

Shouldnt need to, I have changed phones several times (DVP)each time doing a hard reset and my contact pictures always come back. I dont see where they are stored to save them but you shouldnt have to reassign them once you sync with Windows Live.
Okay that's a pretty good news.
But it's really weird. i don't even see on my contact list in live.com
Thanks for your answer.

I dont see them on Live.com either. And you may find if a contact has already set a picture on their live profile it may override your custom picture, dont know for sure though as I have not done that yet. But just FYI.
Hi,
When I'm flashing new ROMs I'm using the contacts import/export function.
The problem is - after import(after I'm done flashing) the default numbers are gone... i.e if I have a several numbers for my wife(cell,home etc) and I set the default to cell, when I'm using the swipe right on her name in the contact list it calls my house and not her cell phone(when before flashing it would all her cell).
I did a little research in the past and it seems the vcf file do holds what number you set as default(the research was - export the contact list,then change the default for one contact and export again and compare the vcf files - they were different,and the difference wasn't only the time-stamp )
anyone else have this problem??
many thanks
Alon
I used to do the vcf files thing, although I never noticed that problem.
But nowi just use google backup.
Much easier and convenient, in my opinion.

I don't like this option because when I sync google contacts it brings all the contacts from gmail which basically every email address I ever sent a mail to - and then it ends up in more than 700 contacts...so every time I flash I immediately set sync off for contacts

Just set google to only display contacts with phone numbers. Contacts>display options>only contacts with phone numbers. Seriously a much easier way to go.

yeah I know I can do that...I prefer not to...I guess I'm a bit fanatical about my privacy so I prefer to keep my contacts with me and not on the web
10x though...
Any other solutions/thoughts?

thats not what I meant - I meant I don't want google to know(or maybe not to give them an easy way cause I suspect they probably know what they want anyhow ;-) ) about my personal contacts which I have on my phone.

Then you can go to Manage Contact List to select the affected ones and remove contact pics from those. Hope it helps!
