[Q] Hangouts SMS Contact Profile Pictures - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone use Hangouts for SMS/MMS? I'm having an issue where there are no Profile Pictures showing up at all beside the contact name. When I uninstall the Update of 2.1.317 which downgrades it to 2.0.x, the profile pics are all fine.
Just wondering if anyone else has this issue or is it just me?

Hey, its a known issue with the hangouts app. Google haven't pushed a fix for it yet. Issue should be fixed with Android L release so there's not much point in them pushing the fix now.......apparently.

Awesome thanks. Couldn't really find anyone with the issue when searching so it's good to know.
Also I noticed the Gmail app shows no contact photos either so I'm guessing ill just wait for Android L.

[Q] Contact Pictures in Messaging App

Hey guys,
Just flashed to 2.2 and its working great. Only annoyance is contact pictures no longer show up in the messaging app. They show up fine in contacts, but won't show in the message app. I've seen a lot of users with similar issues, but not many on Samsung phones.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Hmm just noticed this on mine as well.
Well the issue seems to be app specific. Downloaded Handcent and Chomp and they pulled the images perfectly fine.
It appears the messaging app no longer pulls pictures from linked accounts. Set one by hand on the main contact and it started pulling the picture so I guess it can be fixed with one of the Facebook photo sync apps. Annoying but seems like the only solution at the moment.

[Q]Stock ICS 4.0.3 Failed to Download list of Albums?

[Q]Gallery App Issues: Failed to Download list of Albums? [Stock ICS 4.0.3]
Anyone having this issue in the Gallery App? I've connected to Picasa and downloaded all my albums, however, anytime I open the gallery app that popup appears ...
I too am getting this all of a sudden, any fix?
I've had this issue ever since I had the OTA.
It happens every single time I open the gallery app. Can anyone confirm for me if they turn off their data/wifi then open the gallery app, that the above message appears? Thanks.
Same Here...
I am seeing this same issue on my Transformer Prime.
Perhaps Google broke something on their end.
PS. I reported it as an issue to Google #24588 (I am not able to post links yet)
If you all could add a comment on the issue stating you device and android version google might be able to fix this sooner.
Same here, after updating to ICS 9.4.2.11.
Also from transformer prime
I also noticed that this pop-up only appears when I am not connected to DATA/WiFi.

Thanks, will do. And welcome to XDA.
Seems more and more are reporting to the bug nummer at google.
Any way/chance we can get more attention from google and/or manufacturers to fix this issue?
You have to disable Sync Google-photos on your account & sync settings. It is located at settings>accounts and sync>your gmail account. Untick Sync Google-Photos.
It works for me.
But I want my photos synced

[Q] Handcent SMS and Facebook Contact Picture

I was using HTC Sensation before. The contact picture from Facebook of my friends would show up on Handcent. For some reason, this isn't the case on my HTC One S. I tried to login on Facebook and didn't work. Was wondering if anybody has a solution? Thanks.
Not sure if this will work but apparently there's some restrictions on facebook contact photos. I found an app called Photo Unlocker that made them show up in whatsapp for me when they previously wouldn't. It's not on the play store anymore for some reason though but I'm sure you can find it elsewhere.
It is the same for whatsapp. I saw the facebook picture of the contact and now it doesn't.
I believe it has something to do with ICS, there is no option to sync fb contacts with any of my devices running ICS. Things are fine with older firmware like GB or HC.
It worked on my HTC Sensation when i updated to ICS though.
you may as well find the photo unlocker software and see if it helps for you. It certainly fixed whatsapp pictures for me.
Anyone on ICS will have this issue as for some reason Facebook has an issue giving permissions to 3rd party app's...
This means no photos from facebook will show up in Handcent...
MAJOR FAIL....
Handcent has been claiming that they will get it fixed ASAP... yet, it's been over a month or two... no fix...

Facebook messenger not showing SMS option

I'm researching and found someone had the same question back in June but I didn't see an answer. My nexus 6 has it in the fb messenger app so maybe Huawei is only allowing another version of the app? Anyone fix this issue?

I uninstalled the app then reinstalled and got the option. Strange that it was up to date before, oh well.

SMS messages are disappearing in facebook messenger.

I googled and found something from March but has anyone else had this issue and fixed it. It seems like it just started yesterday but I've had the phone a week.

Use your stock messenger app and see if you have a problem, if you don't the problem is with that hacky crap in Facebook messenger. Personally I don't give anything from Facebook more permissions than I absolutely have to
Yup, it's the fb app for sure =/. Has no issue on my Nexus 6 but on M9 it does. Oh well
