I remember there was a quick fix for this issue, does anyone remember it? My contact pictures show in third party SMS apps like handcent or go sms pro, but in the stock messaging app, it just is blank. I don't use facebook syncing, it all pulls from my google contacts. help?

Hey guy,
I was just wondering if there was any way for SMS Popup to show the facebook contact pictures that are synced from the stock facebook app in the popup just like it does for the contacts with pictures from your gmail.
Thanks
That would be awesome if it could do this! I love SMS Popup because I don't need a full SMS replacement like Handcent (I think that's what it's called?). I just need a popup like SMS Popup provides but it doesn't show contact pictures that sync from Facebook which is a lot of my contact.
In the SenseUI Roms it does do this, as it links their contact profiles with their facebook.. however I don't know of a way in a stock rom to do this.

Handcent is REALLY good tho. I've used it for quite some time and not to long ago switched back to stock messaging app + sms popup and only lasted about 2 or 3 weeks tops before breaking down and installing handcent again. It's just leagues ahead of stock app and sms popup combined.
Handcent does use these pictures, fwiw.

It's not as nice, but SynxMyPix on the market will actually add Facebook pictures to your contacts, instead of linking them, so they will show up for this.
Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III, Stock ROM 4.1.2
With the new GMail App it displays the contact photo or a letter in the sender image, unlike a lot of people I like this feature, however I do have an issue. If I have setup the contact to merge my GMail contact with my Facebook contact and then make the Facebook photo the default, the phone shows this picture they call me, however it shows the letter icon in GMail. If I go back into the contact and change the default picture to their GMail contact photo, then both voice and GMail shows the Google contact photo.
Does anyone know how to get the dynamic changing Facebook contact image to work as the sender image in the new GMail app?
Thanks in advance
Hello, I have installed Google Messenger to replace the default MIUI SMS app, I have set it as default and gave it all the permissions on security and app settings, however Messenger app doesn't show any of my previous SMS & MMS that I received on MIUI's app... On all the other Android's I used, installing a new app would automatically show all the previous SMS I had on the phone, not sure why this one isn't...
Any help on how can I "import" the previous messages to the messenger app?
UPDATE: I was able to backup and restore the SMS and MMS using a SMS/MMS Backup app and it was able to get all the messages, but still after the restore the messenger app won't show them
There is english bug forum on MIUI website, there are also 3 reported bugs on different devices about missing SMS in Google Messenger. But because of low votes there are no progress. I can't give you a link (since I am new user) but you can easily found them by searching for "Google Messenger" in their forum. And up vote to speed up the fixing process.
When I'm sending or receiving a text using the stock messages app, the entire message doesn't show if the message is long. It cuts down the message and has a "view all" button that will show the whole message in another page. How do I get it back to showing the entire message without having to use the "view all" button?
Unfortunately the stock Samsung messaging app doesn't have a setting to change this. You'd have to install a 3rd party messaging app instead. If you have Facebook Messenge, you can integrate SMS into that.
super annoying functionality.

This view all, does not make sense to me, why would any consumer want that, and not be able to change it is even worse. I like to keep my messages separate within their apps. I don't to integrate my messenger with my sms. boo.
Contacts app is not syncing wahtsapp.
I mean:
- from whatspp I can see my contacts, so whatsapp is indeed accessing my contacts
- but from contacst app, when opening details of a contact, I can only send SMS or email or do a Duo call, no way to send a whatsapp
Ok never mind, even this time I managed by myself in 5 minutes hahahahaha :-D
I had to enable: enable 3rd party integrations...
thx and sorry
