Has anyone been able to figure out how to get a profile pic for yourself to show up in the hangouts SMS app for your SMS messages instead of the default unset gray generic picture?

Details:
1. g+ profile pic is set and appears in the top left of notification pulldown
2. have tried changing g+ profile pic from the phone
3. have tried adding my own phone number as a contact in the contacts app with the same g+ pic
4. have tried changing the g+ pic in g+ on PC
5. This is simply an annoyance and SMS functionality still works but why is this not happening to everyone?
6. when tapping the blank user pic this page comes up:
Full URL of error is: https://plus.google.com/_sms_only_account/about/
any ideas? There is a thread about this at AC forums also but nobody has come up with a working solution yet maybe some of you have this working?

Make sure you have set up the "ME" contact in the People app. That is what Hangouts uses for "you".
IIRC you can change your profile picture in Hangouts itself, somewhere in the settings. That should be synced with your G+ account, but you didn't mention trying this in your post.
If that doesn't work I'd try going into Settings > Apps > Hangouts > Clear Data and see if that helps.

yeah that is all setup with a pic and my phone number and link to g+ and everything, might try clearing the hangouts app cache and data and see if that changes anything
well this is dumb.. you MUST be signed in to the hangouts half of it to see your pic in the SMS half.. @[email protected]
when not signed into hangouts even tho i can send myself a SMS and see my pic in the "from" left side lol the "to" right side is still blank
way to half-ass it Google
That's a funny quirk. I will say though, if I weren't using the Hangouts half of the app I don't think I would use Hangouts for SMS. There are so many better options out there.

Firs off, I am NOT affiliated with this project at all - It is something I ran across, have been using it and thought I would share:
Project Name: android-smspopup
URL: http://code.google.com/p/android-smspopup/
Description:
An Android application that intercepts incoming text messages and displays them in a popup window (activity). The popup window shows the contact the message came from and their contact photo (if there is one) as well as the content of the message. Directly from the popup the user is given the option to Close the popup (marking the message read) or Reply to the message (using a system intent).
The more recent versions of SMS Popup also have a full notifications system built in - this allows a user to disable the built in messaging app notifications and use those from SMS Popup. The notifications system has additional options such as custom vibrate pattern, custom LED color and the ability to remind the user of a missed message in case they missed the notification the first time it played.
Review:
Even though it is in development stages, it is a pretty solid product.
- I love the fact that right from the pop-up notification, I can mark it read (hitting close) without going into the message and having to open yet another app.
- Pop-up shows the contact picture (if there is one) and I can tell at a glance who it is before I even read it.
- Being able to set up repeat reminders when missing messages is fantastic! Sometimes I step away and miss a text, so when I get back, at whatever interval I set it too, it re-notifies me of a message and I get the texts... Awesome!
- Here's one of my favorite ones... Custom Notification settings for contacts!! have a custom tone for my wife's text messages so I know it's her texting me. I also have one set up for other family members... Sky's the limit!
There's more and there is more coming up, so it's worth a shot.
Here is the QRC to download:

Sounds like the same thing as SMS Popup that's on the market. Which still isn't as good as Chompsms or Handcent
It looks EXACTLY like SMS popup???
im pretty sure it is smspopup the changelog goes back to dec-2008 which is around when i found smspopup on my g1. it is a good app though i had to stop using it due to the texting while driving laws in my area im afraid the popup would count as reading the text, especially since it marks the text as read, which is just as illegal as writing one while driving.
hi

and also life.contact beta widget
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008393
ok, installed, works.
it just seems to place random contacts there, or possibly in order of most contacted.
doesn't seem to display all contact pics. i have some that are assigned pics, and some timescape contact pics, but not all display for some reason.
but it's beta, and it works. and it's a pretty cool contact widget. will try it out for a few days to see how it effects battery.
oh, and timescape pics are blurry, but google/user assigned contact pics are clear, lol.
some more things about this widget...
it adds another sync service (life.episodes), which copies the phone numbers into another field of the contact, which when you view the contact, the numbers are all doubled. you'll see 2 numbers listed for each phone for every contact. kind of annoying.
I really hope they fix all of the contacts issues with the 2.3 update (doubling,blurry,etc).
Thx for testing & posting

it's actually not a bad widget. i found that if you edit the contact and add a pic that you took with your camera, or the google contact pic, it's not blurry on the widget. just timescape pics, which has something to do with the resolution that timescape uses i believe.
here's the small widget
here's the large widget
Nice app, but double numbers is so annoying. I keep checking for updates lol

uninstalled. we should offer them feedback so they can make the proper changes.
ok, couple of fixes...
to get rid of the duplicate entries.
from the homescreen:
menu > settings > accounts and sync > life.contacts
remove this account
to get missing contact pictures. set a contact picture under the google section of the contact. you don't have to select that image to be the contact image, you can still use the timescape image as the actual contact image in phonebook, but there has to be an image in the google contact.
Downloaded it from the Market and the widgets do not appear on WB's CM6.1.3. Anyone have the same issue?
Is any one else having problems picking a notification tone with Twitter? Every time I pick one it just goes back to default. Thank you for any help.
Yes I posted the same problems.. and now I'm getting no notifications
Download fenix instead or the new twitter from www.apkmirror.com

the latest APK does the same - reverts back to the default. One option my wife thought of was to change the default to silent and then change the notifications in the other apps.
There are many other apps but none will push the notifications outside of the app for the tweets of people you request because of the Twitter API.

I have the same problem. The button to save the notification sound setting is missing (and exiting the page doesn't automatically save the change).
any resolution on this subject?
No there's been a few updates but no fix for this on the s6. I reported it to twitter but I suppose it's not a very big issue really
Still not seeing any resolution on the latest build 5.69.0
Same issue on the note 5
Here we are 6 months down the line and they still haven't fixed it.
Set "default notification sound" in phone settings to the one you want for Twitter then change notification for messages to the one you want for SMS msgs.
Sent from my SM-G920F
The problem is there is no OK button on the notification sound dialog box on the GS6/Note 5.
My wife has a Note 4 and the same Twitter app version has an OK button which successfully changes the tone.
My Note 5 doesn't have an OK buton. Backing out is the same as the cancel button.
Note 5:

Same problem on the Samsung S7. This is really annoying. Please somebody fix this problem
Agreed. Seems like both a minor issue, and because it has lingered for so long, a very annoying one.
Even the Default/Messages setting workaround upthread is a no go for me, because there are apps (i.e. my local news app that send breaking news alerts) that give the Twitter sound with that setup.
Seems this should have been fixed a long time ago.

Download es file Explorer. Remove the app defaults for twitter/media storage. Open twitter and go to notifications. When it pops up the app to use choose es file Explorer and browse to ur customer notification. Works for me on s7

Quick WhatsApp Message already does this. If there any advantage using your app? Just trying to see if I should change it. Thanks

If the app is encrypted with app password, you can't see the notification content.
