Hello, frequently I recieved sms from certain companies (google calendar notifications, my home banking, my football club, etc) and these sms came already with name of the sender and they are not in my contact list.
How can I add an image to these contacts?!
I've manually add Google as an contact and put the Google's logo but the avatar doesn't appear in the hangouts.

the messages you are getting are different sms... not like others i guess... like we get for promotional ads... they automatically have name in them.. and you can't see there no so you can't save them... and i guess you just can't apply picture to them..

The way I did it it, for example Google Calendar, added Google Calendar to contacts in gmail using +148368 as the mobile phone number and then changed the photo to one of a calendar (or whatever). Then I followed Google Calendar on G+, I also on the Google Calendar G+ page added that same number (+148368) not sure if you need to do the last step or even if you have to follow on G+ but there was a delay on it changing on hangout so I'm not quite sure if you have to follow. Sometime adding the +1 to the phone number is what works, and sometimes you just need to use the short code, for example US Bank uses a short code of 872265 and I didn't need to add the +1 for that. So for example Twitter, you need to use +140404 and if you already follow Twitter on G+ the avatar will also show up in gmail contacts. The whole think is convoluted but it finally is working for me except Google Voice sent sms.

I don't like the in call wallpaper (green robot) on Android that appears when I am talking to someone not in my contacts list. Is there any way this can be changed?
Finally, is there a way to make Gmail app allow choosing from more than one email addresses when sending an email? I have configured three "Send From" addresses under my Google Apps email account but Gmail app shows only one (default).
Thanks much.

Hi, I'm looking for a good Birthday app that not only reminds me of upcoming birthdays, but also lets me send a message to the person.
I really like the clean look of the Birthdays app. A very simple but complete list, showing all the upcoming birthdays from all my contacts (local and Facebook). I also like that it includes the ages if known.
But I also like the messaging functionality of the Facebook Birthday Tile app. Tap a contact's name and you can post a message on their FB wall. It also includes preset messages so you can either pick one of those or write your own.
Is there an app that combines the features of these two apps. The clean but complete list view of Birthdays, with the messaging functionality of FB Birthday Tile (and maybe also incorporates the ability to send a text message in case the person hasn't got a Facebook profile).
Any suggestions?

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
I have contacts on my Google account that I will never, ever want to call, but I would like to keep as contacts in order to know that they are calling me (don't ask...)
Is there any way to hide contacts (or preferably a whole group) from the All Contacts list in the dialer? I have already removed them from the My Contacts group via web gmail(which worked on previous phones) and changed the settings for People to only show that group, but that didn't work.

simply hide them by copying the contacts you need to phone and turning the visiblity of contact on sim unchecked...
In hangouts, if the user is not part of G+ and is just a regular SMS contact, they get set with the default blue person icon. I have pictures set for those contacts, but everything I do will not show the set profile picture.
Is this the way hangouts is designed? It's annoying seeing the blue person (which I assume is set by google if they dont have a g+ profile). when I had set pictures for all my contacts.
Any work arounds?
