[Problem] Contact Photo - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
i have a problem with changing my contact photos for contacts synced with GMail over the standard Google Sync.
If I try to chance someone's picture with a picture out of my gallery i just get the following error and nothing happens:
I also tried it via the normal gallery app and the G+ gallery app and via the contacts itself, but always the same error. I thought it could be the google server but it's for the whole day today.
My Nexus 5 is on stock 4.4.2 rooted but no modifications.
Can someone confirm the problem? otherwise i will reflash the rom.

Can't see or open image.

Clear gallery data?

I already cleared the gallery data and the contact data and synced again.
I will try factory reset now. And then reflash the rom.

[Q] How do I debug an Android Sync Issue? "Internet Sync"

Under Settings -> Accounts & Sync -> "account" -> "Sync Internet"
I'm getting "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
On my primary Google account and not my secondary accounts.
I've tried just the single account too, and still the same issue. This seems to be happening from the last 2 versions of Clean Rom.
I did wipe data every time.
Are there logs anywhere to give me a clue?
I really don't want to go back to a stock rom to test now and risk loosing root, etc.. but it was working from stock to the first Clean Rom, then upgrading to the second clean rom. The apps I downloaded did install after setup even after the wipe and rom install.
Thanks.
I have the same issue and would like to know as well
I'm also experiencing this issue. Hopefully someone knows how to fix it :/
What specifically in your google account is not syncing contacts?

You might have already done this ... but just to confirm ... what partitions did you wipe before you installed CleanRom ?
From CWM, I used the "Clear Cache" then followed with "Wipe Data/Rest".
I believe I've tried before and after ROM installation, but am not 100% currently. I do not believe that should make difference, since I do not believe Clean Rom writes to the data partition.
Since I don't know where the logs are, I'll try to do USB Tether and run Wireshark on the RDNIS interface later on today to see if I can capture any info. Hopefully it is not encrypted.
Thanks.

Try wiping all the partitions in the "WIPE" section in CWM (including system , except SD-CARD ) and also under advanced " WIPE DAlvik Cache" and then install cleanROm.
I am on v2.3 and I do not have that issue.
it really is a benign error.
I get it on ALL my ICS devices, regardless of rom/config/wipe/etc. its a google issue, not inherent to this device specifically.
Sort of. Unfortunately I did this see work on the earlier Clean ROM upgrades, and I've been spoiled.
When it worked, after I've flashed the new rom, it will automatically reinstall all the Apps I've downloaded from the App store. All my wifi SSIDs will be restored.
Yes it isn't critical, but a nice feature.

In CMW On the First Menu I,
Wiped data/factory reset
Wiped cache partition
Next in Advance
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Didn't see any other wipes.
Installed, and still the same problem.
Since I'm reset right now, is there any safe way to install stock to make sure that internet sync does work with a stock rom?
I image in need to hex edit the current version to a 1.0.0.0 and then install say the 1.7.3 RUU
Root then unlock again.

reinstalling appstore apps and wifi ssids doesnt fall under the internet sync. those are settings elsewhere in your menu. that feature is located under PRIVACY/BACKUP & RESTORE
Internet sync has never worked for me on stock or otherwise
Thanks. I checked there, and all of that is enabled. Must be something else then that is causing everything to be not restored.

Internet sync has never worked for me on my HOX. I also have had the iconia a500 since it came out and internet sync hasn't worked with gingerbread or on the upgraded ICS. I've been using Chrome beta instead but the stock browser should work and it doesn't. Any fix would be great.

sync
I have had the same problem on my sensation with all ics roms i have used. sync internet always has the problem. you can remove the account and start again but I noticed that the sync internet will only work when you first log back into your google account then it will "experience problems" again. What is sync internet? yes done a google search but no clear answer. found something that says it is for bookmarks, but that sounds iffy.

i experience the exact same problem but on stock 1.73. my email does not sync properly and im always faced with the "try again" error.
repaired
On my sensation it seems that "reset Chrome so that it was not "encrypt all data" and instead is now "encrypt password" is what repaired my "internet sync" problem.
Thank you!

In google chrome settings via a computer, There is a hyperlink to google dashboard. Go there and down to Chrome Sync, I reset and deleted chrome data. (Don't worry, it doesn't delete your bookmarks, picasa, or gmail). Then it reset Chrome so that it was not "encrypt all data" and instead is now "encrypt with password", like you said.
Problem fixed.
Thank you so much!

That did not work for me. After I deleted the data from the dashboard, it would sync correctly but after I would readd my account on my laptop's google chrome, it would start to fail again
Yeah, the only way it finally worked was to select chrome settings to select "encrypt Passwords" and not select "encrypt all data"
Isn't trying to find out what is wrong so fun. lol

[Q] Problem with downloading files from play market and websites

Hi.
I have nexus 5 (android 4.2.2, TeamWin Recovery Project, root). Recently, problem with downloading files from play market and websites appeared.
I see infinite downloading in the play market. I see infinite work of the donwload manager process in the action bar, when I download some stuff from website (for example, when I try to download something from my HTTP local file server).
Sometimes I can solve my problem to restart smartphone, to clear data/cache play market app and download manager procces. But the problem occurs again.

I understand, but you might try signing out of all sessions on your pc on the Google dashboard, then clearing data again. Did you try fixing permissions? And clearing cache and dalvik?

I use this account only on a smartphone. Therefore, I can not end the session on a computer because it does not exist.
I have not tried to work with permissions.
I use ART runtime. Or what kind of cache you talking about?

Boot into recovery, clear cache, fix permissions, and reboot.

Bummer. I'm afraid you're going to have to start thinking about a factory reset. Just back up your data first so you can easily restore everything afterward. Don't back up any system apps.

Suddenly Empty Gallery

Hi all,
yesterday, out of the blue, I had this problem: any gallery app won't find any image. for example, Motorola Gallery prompts me to snap a photo with the camera. If I do so, the picture I've just taken is shown in the gallery, but just that one, even if it is saved in the SAME folder as the older ones.
What should I do?
I've already tried to:
Reinstall Motorola Gallery
Install another gallery
Reboot the phone in safe mode (I've asked MotoCare and I've been told to do this, but in safe mode the launcher keeps crashing and I can't do anything)
Now I'm copying everything from the phone, then I'll delete all the image folders and copy them back.
MotoCare suggested to perform a Factory Reset, which I won't do
Any ideas?
Thanks

i would backup your data, then do a factory reset. if that doesn't fix it, then something is broken in the system and you will need to re-flash the stock firmware.

It will wipe all of your data, but your contacts and apps should sync back when you put your gmail back in after wiping.
If you are rooted, you can use an app like titanium backup to save app data and messages if you wish.

Gallery editing features not working

I recently unlocked and rooted my phone, i backed it up using an adb tool that requires no root. Not sure when it stopped working but i remember having a really nice editing feature in the stock gallery app, now it just directs me to the google photos editing feature whenever i press edit. I tried clearing cache data, and even uninstalling the photos app, just resulted in nothing happening when i click on edit please help.

No I don't, sorry, I recalled people having similar issues after uninstalling Google+ but this wouldn't apply to you.
I can confirm..
I had disabled Google+ and then I was experiencing the editing not-working issue.
Now I've enabled Google+ again and everything started working again.
