In the stock texting app, when looking at the texts between you and someone, it will show the pic/avatar of the person you are texting but my own sent texts only shows my pic as the default shadow head. How can I make it show my pic? Silly question but it's been bugging me for months.

Go into Your contacts list. At the very top there is a contact called "Me". Insert your picture there and it will display when you text someone.

Having a slight problem here with my new captivate (came from an iPhone 4 and happy btw )
When someone sends me a text, and I reply... sometimes my 'bubble' will go above theirs and during a fast texting conversation I can send many texts that will go above all of my friends, causing it to be very hard to read. This happens with a bunch of people that text me. All people involved are on AT&T network, all getting automatic time from smartphones.
Any way to force texts to go in the order your device receives/sends them rather than by a time stamp?
Thanks folks

Disable notifications in the settings for the Messaging app that came with the phone.
This is the first time I've ever seen this icon pop up with a text. What does it mean?
Maybe a MMS with a long ass text? Not sure. What options does it give you when you press on it?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
pretty sure it means its still in process of sending

Just the normal options for an MMS: view slideshow, save picture, call, open contact, forward, view message details, delete, lock

That was the whole message that I received, there was nothing else & that was well after it was done sending to me.
In the process of sending is a small analog clock icon, plus the message would be in a white tab on the other side of the screen, this one is a received message.
I think this icon indicates there is text along with the picture. Try having someone send you a picture with no text or subject, then one with a subject only, then one with a caption. I think you will find that it is a reminder to read the message as well.
Hmm I'll give that a try. Thanks
I've put ICS on my developer phone to play about with (not the Nexus) and I was wondering how it looks to people when they get an SMS message.
After coming across this screenshot, I thought that when you got a text, the contact picture of your friend would be displayed at the left, as is the case for Andy Rubin at the bottom.
However, I find mine are displayed like Hiroshi Lockheimer, with just the icon on a patterned background.
I really like the little contact picture, so is it displayed this way on the Nexus S or is there a way to turn it on? Why would Google show 2 different things in their screenshots?
Cheers.
Mine looks like the one with Hiroshi too. This person has a picture in my contacts as well. I didn't test it with her GoogleChat.
Same here, I get the sms icon, no contact pictures. Same for google talk. And I was wondering if this feature didn't make it in the release.
Thanks for checking that out for me! It's odd because I have a picture set too but mine displays the same...I'd have thought it would display the contact photo.
As far as I can see from that screenshot, Hiroshi and Andy are both texts? Maybe it's a third party app...does Handcent do that maybe?
Talk displayed the default picture. Could be my slow connection? Then when I clicked the notification it showed her picture.
Has anyone got the picture displayed for SMS notifications? It seems like a cool feature.
Same thing happens with my Nexus S too....tried multiple AOSP builds of ICS and the official release and still no contact pictures in the sms notifications It does show for gtalk notifications though. I have tried searching for a fix but haven't found anything yet.
Hello Everyone,
I am using the stock messaging app. I did look through the settings but did not see this option.
I am happy with it BUT I would like to know if there is a setting or another app that will always return me to the main text list.
Meaning
If I sent person X a text it does not stay in that message it goes back to the main list of text messages. This would prevent accidentally texting the wrong person.
any info
Searched but cannot find the answer. I have one friend who uses hangouts like me and i can usually drop the box down on my Nexus 5 to the left of the message while in hangouts and choose "SMS" yet for this one contact I no longer can. Anyone have any idea? I have to send a separate sms message to him and its kind of annoying.
Thanks.
With a friends help i see you have to long press on a conversation so its selected and choose the other conversation then up top choose merge. Simple enough.
