This happens to me sometimes. I usually just backout of messages, and go back in and it works fine. Hasn't hapened for a few days though.
Happens to me ALL the time...
Yeah from my searching it's been happening to all of us at one point or another. I usually delete my facebook account from the phone and re-add them. Pics come back.
Here is the fix - you probably ran permission fix in CWM. This is one of the results...
Go into Applications - Manage applications
Go to ALL applications tab
Scroll down to Contacts Storage and click it.
Clear its data
Scroll down to Market
Clear data
Open market - accept agreement
Resync your contacts. This only erases the picture cache not your numbers. It gets corrupted when you run permission checks in CWM.
I had this same problem, it wasn't storing the picture right in the SMS app, and other apps like LauncherPro weren't able to pull any of the contact pictures. I also had it not syncing my Facebook picture with my local contact (which I find annoying).
What I did is added the Facebook for HTC Sense account, and let this sync. When I installed the FB app I told it to not sync anything.
Now everything is working great.
Well my problem was due to the cwr and cuz I was saving contact to the phone and not to Google ! How can I have saving to Google default

Just do yourself a favor and edit your contacts at gmail.com... they push to your phone.
does anyone know of a mod that will defult the contacts to save to ur google account =instead of degfluting to the phone?

Second of all, don't ever save your contacts on your phone, that's what google sync is for. When you start restoring saved contacts and letting google sync run, you're creating a huge mess.
In your case I would clean up the contacts on google, then wipe your phone (not restoring any contacts saved on the phone) so that everything you have on google is what you have on the phone.
I did this a while back, and have been happy ever since.

Absolutely agree with you. After I rooted, i dont know what I did, but after i rooted, all my facebook contacts ended up on my phone. )And no, I didnt tell the facebook app to sync all) I think i added the google account and facebook accounts too fast and then hosed it up when it brought up suggested linked contacts. I just went to Google contacts, cleaned what i didnt want, made some changes to other contacts, cleared contact storage data, and had them all back how i like less than 2 minutes later. and i still had facebook for htc sense setup and it had everybody synced in about 5 minutes. been perfect ever since.
Title says it all I've searched and searched with no success... Please help...
It its not possible. Once you log in to the first google account that's it.

Why are you wanting to switch?
If you go into Settings >> Accounts and Sync >> Google, there is a Remove Account button at the bottom. No idea if it's what you want, but it's a start.
Hope that helps
Can you add one first then remove other? I know there always has to be one assigned

It will not allow him to remove his primary Google account.

Adding one first before removing the primary account also won't do anything. You literally can't remove the primary Google account no matter what. I was in the same situation yesterday; the OP is going to have to do a factory reset.
Settings...
I have done this on almost every Android phone without having to factory reset. Havent tried on Sensation cuz I dont have one...yet.
Anyway, how I always did it was go to settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All and look for anything that says "Google".. i.e. Gmail,Google Backup Transport,Google Calendar sync,Google Partner Setup and Google Services Framework. Open up each one these and do a "Clear Data".
Thats it, try loggin in to your gmail and it will ask you to sign in.
You might have to do it more than once though, but it definitely works. Trust me.

No. That only wipes your password to the gmail account for security reasons, so that if someone found your phone and put their sim in it they can't access your account.

Why would I bother. It clearly said when I tried to delete my account "You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults."
What is this, I've received a text and a call with a code and have no idea if it's for the Google Search thing or not??

On your google account, there's a second layer of security. Anytime you log into your account from a device or computer other than the one recognized by google, you'll have to enter this code which is sent to the phone number listed on your google account. You can disable this by logging into your account and going to security.
I had it on my account, but I've gone through several ROMs the past couple of days and got tired of having to go through the process everytime I flashed a new ROM.
However - this is assuming you are logging into your Google account when you get these texts/calls. If not, then it could be some spammy thing or perhaps someone else is trying to log into your account from another device/computer,

Could be a scam, sure. But even if you've only used it on your phone, Google will then send the code anytime [you or someone] tries to log in with a device ID not recognized by Google. When you first logged in on your phone, do you remember selecting an option for the second layer of security? Here's a link to info on it if you want to see what it is.
As you said, it may well be junk - but it won't hurt to keep an eye on your account just to be safe.

Ya it could be if you only got it since installing that.
So I just updated to jellybean and I noticed that the gallery settings has syncing options I have all syncing disabled well atleaast I thought I did but my google account said it did a sync today. They all say disabled under settings but in gallery app my google account has a green sync button next to it. Where in the hell is it syncing to and from?
update:so I've been reading that the stock gallery auto syncs to web services can anyone confirm this? Also I definitely can't seem to disable it. Account is definitely disabled in settings menu under sync, just enabled in the gallery
Do you have a sd card in your device?
There's a problem called "Media Scanner," don't know if this is the issue you've been having- however I had it at first. Was able to get rid of it tho!
I had all my music on my SD Card (40GB) and it constantly scanned/ tried to sync.
If this isn't the problem- check to see what services are running, and then you can assess which might be problematic

Make sure ur google account is set not to sync picasa. Then
Go to the gallery app in SETTINGS, APPLICATIONS. Then clear cache and data. Should be good to go.

Thanks for the reply dont have picasa so not a problem I've disabled sync for everything but contacts under google and cleared the cache and data, but for some reason my google account is sitting in in the gallery settings menu with a highlighted sync symbol next too it. Although I am unsure if it will sync anything I would just like it gone all the same.
Thanks.
Also check your cloud settings under device settings, there might be something there syncing your photos. I had Dropbox in there.

Under Accounts, Google Account, make sure "Sync Picasa Web Albums" is disabled. Then clear the Gallary cache and Data in Application Manager.
Worked for me.

Ive read about people having picasa sync problems, I cantmfind anything related to picasa on this tablet is it a preinstalled thing or is it only there if you install picasa?
I don't have picasa installed, but it is there. I think it comes from Google+ or might just come from your google account itself.

Ive actually disabled google plus app would that be why I cant see it?
SOLVED
Hi all , for days now im trying to fix this problem , i tried almost everything but nothing works.
Can't see my contact list on whatsapp , viber , line etc , it just doesn't want to sync. The apps are working fine but i can't see any contacts , i only see the number if someone msges or calls me , and even if i add it manually to my contact list nothing happens.
I imported my contacts from my SIM , synced it with the google account , whatsapp account , everything is up to date.
It might be a ROM problem (can't ask in the development sections need 10 posts )
Im on cm-10.2-20140104-Sultan-pyramid.zip (with ION) (HTC sensation XE)
Last ROM that worked: cm-10.2-20131117-Sultan-pyramid.zip (no ION)
It seems no one has the problem cause no one is complaining about it.
Is there a possible fix? Or it's just the ROM that is not compatible , but why is no one reporting the problem?
(Google couldn't help me, i hope XDA can! )
Hope to hear some suggestions, guidance etc :cyclops:
Thank you very much
Have you got a security app like LBE or XPrivacy.
I think permissions to sync contacts and these apps are blocked if u can see only numbers
Thank you for the reply, no I don't use any privacy app even after closing Avg anti virus and the task killer, nothing works. And I don't see any contacts, when someone msges me I see the number even if I have them in my phone book. And if I add them manually to the contacts it won't update I just see their number. Even after fresh rom install I do not see the contacts, and reinstalling apps is not helping. Or wiping cache+dalvik. I don't know what the problem could be.

Yes I have an Google account that is synced with my device, everything is working fine. Except that apps like whatsapp, viber etc can't get to my contacts list.
