[Q] Reset user profile avatar to default? (Lollipop) - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This may sound a little strange, but I actually like the default user avatar (the blue-ish/green icon) that is set when you first flash lollipop. I was messing around and tried out a few custom images, but then I decided I like the look of the default image more. The thing is, I can't figure out how to reset the image. I'm only able to choose an image or take a new one with the camera.
Anyone know of a way to do this? Without having to reflash anything?

S
Google search for the default avatar. Add it to your gallery and chose it. Sorry, I can't find an easier way.

This is picture is synchronized with your GMail account so you have to use this picture or remove any avatar picture.

For me it is not synchronized with my gmail account picture on Nexus 5, but IS synchronized on Nexus 7. Weird.

It's not synced with my gmail (or google, rather) account picture either. That's what I was expecting as that's how it's worked in all previous versions of android.
Hmmm...

Not synced with mine either btw

Pull down from the top twice and tap the avatar. Tape thi icon and click more settings at the bottom of the page. Tape you icon to open profile info, then tape your avatar. You can change it from here, but I am not sure you can go back to the default avatar (Shadow man).

Yeah, you can't go back. It only lets you choose an image from the gallery or take a new photo with the camera.
I tried googling for the default avatar, but my either my google fu is weak, or no one has bothered to rip it out of the stock image.

[Q] Photo album for the gallery widget

The default photo album for the gallery widget was "Camera Shots." A couple of weeks back I changed it to another photo album for the gallery widget. I forgot how to change it. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks.

Applications-go to the app and "clear defaults". Go and view a pic and use the viewer you want and make sure you check off default.

Go to settings, applications- then go to camera shots. There should be a button near the bottom labeled clear defaults.
Now go back to camera shots and the app should ask you for a gallery at that point to set as a new default.
You are looking to change the default gallery correct?

Well you are looking to change a setting in your applications right? Go to manage applications. Scroll down to the app in question. Another screen should come up with two buttons on top one in the middle and the "clear defaults" button should be close to the bottom-you may need to scroll down a bit.

New to android, concerns with HTC One S [feedback report (long))]

I'm posting here because this community might share these concerns
HTC One S
Edit: Device is Stock, ICS Sense 4
Carrier: Virgin Mobile Canada
As most reports, its best to start with praise, but since I don’t want to make this long, I’m just going point of the negatives (sorry htc).
Hands down this is the best phone I have every used. Aside from a few learning curves, I have successfully transitioned into the android environment with minimal setbacks. I'm honestly very impressed with how good the user experience is.
FACEBOOK Widgets doesn't show latest posts (fail)
A good example is the Facebook widget. The widget will only show posts hours old unless I open the Facebook app and refresh the news feed. This defeats the purpose of having a widget for quick access to information. The widget doesn’t update in real-time (notifications are not pushed) and the interval to check for updates seems very sparse.
Browser menu does not always appear (Landscape mode) (fail/concern)
When you scroll you sometimes get the menus to appear (they slide in from top and bottom), others times it does not appear. Sometimes when you scroll fast, or slow. It seems to appear whenever it feels like it, making it difficult to get to the menu when you want. Though, I can always scroll to the top of the page.
edit: see it in action here: youtube. com/ watch?v=hSYRYCO5ytU#t=08m20s thanks moonrock
Message notifications (concern)
I really like the notification tray at the top of the screen, it provides information about downloads, pending transactions, new messages, etc., I use multiple chat clients (gchat, whats app, yahoo, sms). It would be nice if a new message would stay at the top for a few seconds so I can click it and immediately switch to it, instead of having to go home> swipe down> select message.
edit: I can just swipe, no need to go home first (unless it's full screen app). thanks edscholl
Indication LED (concern)
The flashing led works fine, but since it is embedded deep into the shell of the phone, you will not see it when its sitting away from you at an angle. I understand its to keep the phone sleek, and its something to adapt to.
Dropbox sync (concern)
The Dropbox app includes the option ‘Turn on Camera Upload’. This works great! The problem is, if I delete a photo from my Dropbox, it remains on my phone, and vice versa. So they are not in sync, and I can't find a solution.
edit: I tried Dropsync, and picked up the pro version to sync multiple folders. Sense 4 stores multiple files per image (thumbnails, preview, actual picture) in a series of folders. Deleting the files doesn't update Sense 4's image library... Great tool non the less! thanks pbelcomp
Vibrating touch (concern)
This is a really cool feature to provide tactile feedback, and it works very well! I have had it enabled for the keyboard, and I’m concerned that it may be hard on the motor or rattle the phone. Each keypress causes vibration. When typing a long messages, the vibrate will go on/off as long as I type. I’m sure this causes wear that is not necessary? Just a concern if its OK to use like this.
Home screen widget real estate (4x4 virtual grid) – would like to see 5x5? (concern)
With the screen resolution becoming higher, and screen size larger, it would be nice to have more room for icons and widgets.
edit: there are 3rd party apps that help with this (Apex, LauncherPro), thanks moonrock
Display quality (praise):
I first had issues with the jaggyness of small print, enough that I was worried it was going to be a problem and give me headaches. The fact that if you look closely, you can see as what I describe as ‘space between the pixels’, which is caused by the PenTile subpixel pattern. Example found here:
After using the phone for a few days, I’ve actually come to appreciate this feature. I’ve noticed the screen has become much easier on the eyes and extended use is very pleasing. I really like it!
Task switching (suggestion)
Yes there is a dedicated app switching button, but the smooth scroll and inertia makes it difficult to select the app you want (especially if your choice is right beside your current app, you need to slow down and get it just right). I suggest limiting inertia to slow swipes. Also maybe in the future, a shortcut to switch back to the previous app, a 3 finger swipe could switch back-forth between background apps.
Camera (suggestion)
This thing is brilliant! Only feedback would be to preserve the existing chosen effect. If I want all my pictures to have ‘vintage cold’, When I quit the camera and go back, it resets to ‘no effect’. Maybe this is a feature not sure.
Last but not least,
Menu: Keyboard click sound (suggestion)
Looking for sound ‘click’ when typing on keyboard. Is not in settings>SOUND, rather I found it in: Language & Keyboard > HTC Sense Input. Not a big deal, just a suggestion to include it in ‘settings>sound’ under ‘system’.

It is a one way sync - you take a photo and it is auto-uploaded. You have to choose at that point what to keep where.

Blackberry, app switching was easier, and indicator light was more useful IMHO. But the typing is way better on this device
Hm, I see what you mean re: the browser via this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSYRYCO5ytU (browser is at 7:35-ish)
You could also try a new browser (ex: Chrome) if you don't like how the built in one doesn't work how you like. Another "solution" would be to pinch to zoom out to quickly be able to get back up to the top.

your general heading is wrong. widgets certainly can update real time (clock widget for example). apparently, the facebook widget doesn't update as often as you like is the real problem (don't know as i don't use it). i'm sure there are others that you can find that might.

Interesting, I have since added the widget again, yes facebook is enabled in Accounts, and freshly synced. Facebook app is freshly updated, and friendsteam app is freshly updated, and the widget will not show the latest post. infact it keeps returning to an older post (4 hours ago) (2 posts ago it seems). I don't know why, can't tell why.

Same problem...tried everything to get it to sync normally. Only uninstalling updates and clearing data and cache seem to work as this returns to stock fb setting. Then issues with contact images not loading. Also tried disabling sense app and running only market version.
Mine is also updated and last sync is 21 hours old for the widget. I also tried a fresh authorization from fb with HTC sense and nothing.
It does not update even if I force fb to refresh or force sync under accounts.
I have since wasted enough time on it..now that Facebook is going to build a phone with HTC, hopefully they can get sense to work as it should with fb updates installed. You are not alone..Google sense and fb for more info.
It just don't work right..still awesome phone though!
Lol reading the OP made me all nostalgic thinking about the first time I used my Android phone back in the G1 days. Things were tougher then. We had no on screen keyboard, no dock shortcuts, Facebook app still sucked, and had to walk uphill in the snow both ways. But it was still the greatest phone I'd ever had

Hi @Flyview cool concept. You asked for feedback. I think you should allow the transitions to be slower 2 seconds is to fast.
I don't really understand the seconds of the transition is it random ?
You might want to show a small overlay as a tutorial on first start I found the one tap to pause which is nice and the two tap to like, but I liked a picture without knowing what the 2 tap would do and I don't know which one it was
I'd like a go back feature too, if you see a picture and right when it disappears you notice something but you can't go back, so just a see previous like a swipe right.
Living in Paris I learned with your app that most pictures on instagram are of the Eiffel tower
Getting a blank screen many times.

It will show a new picture whenever there is a new one available (up to minimum of every second), this will be configurable. I have to think of a good way to show previous pictures. I was thinking the old ones would become scrollable below but if someone new comes to the app they may think it's like Instagram where the point is to scroll down. And yes, intro overlay should be added as well. That's awesome about Paris haha!

[Q] CyanogenMod 12 - How to save MMS pictures

I'm probably missing something dumb, because this seems like a basic thing, and I'm not finding it when searching on Google or XDA.
In CM 11, I could long press on a picture in the messaging application, and get an option to save or export to SD card/internal storage. On CM 12 messaging, I do not get any menu when long pressing.
When I click on a picture it opens in the gallery app, where I have an option to set as wallpaper or print, but still no option to save to SD/internal storage.
If MMS come in as a gallery, I can save those. But I can't figure it out for an individual image.
bump
I'm wondering the same thing to
I use hangouts app do you use the native messaging app or hangouts?
theres no option to share?
try clearing .nomedia files from wherever and recycle the media engine through a reboot.
do you use quickpic? as a gallery app? ,thats how I got rid of all my problems sometimes the stock gallery app doesnt see the new images.

When hangouts first started to allow SMS integration, I didn't like the way it handled it, but they have changed the interface quite a bit. It does let me download messages, so I'll try it for a bit.
With Quickpic and the CM Messaging App I still don't get an option to save the files. When I click on a picture, it lets me open it in quickpic or any other registered image viewer, but they don't have download options, just 'set as. for wallpaper.'
Ideally I like the CM messaging app, and would like to use it. But too many family members can't be convinced to email me pictures at a higher quality, and instead want to send via MMS.
bump again.
I've been using hangouts, but I miss like the CM Messanger app better.
Thread necro because is three months later, and I still have to switch to hangouts in order to save the pictures people send via MMS.

Same problem for me. I don't think there's a way to do it, but if there is, I haven't found it. Been switching to Hangouts just to save as well, pain in the butt because CM is much better looking and smoother. Plus no resize issues without Xposed.
I just started taking screen shots as mms pics are low quality anyways, just a little hack you guys might want to try. Quicker than moving to hangouts.

Doesn't work for me. I long press on the text area of the photo, click the three dots, and my options are: Lock; Message Details; Select All. Any advice?
Like the OP, I can't convince my family members to email pictures. So I'd really like a working option for saving pictures in Messaging.
EDIT: This worked: Long press the area to the right or left of the picture>touch the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner ( not the menu button at the bottom, each has different options)>touch message details.

Thanks! This worked for me, also. I just use Messaging+ to save them, but like the default Messages more. Have been looking for days...
This is exactly how mined worked. Others didn't.
This post is kind of old but anyways I think this will be helpful for some people:
1. Keep pressed over the subject of the MMS and the options will appear.
2. Go to the options (three dots) and select "Message Details".
3. Select the picture you want to save.
4. Click "Save" and it will be saved into your "Downloads" folder.

I cannot get a lockscreen to stick. I set one (using photos, gallery, and Nova) but the brownish boat dock always comes back as the lockscreen.
I have deleted all the Magazine unlock pictures and the dock picture explicitly, but it still comes back.
Is there a location for a default lockscreen and can I overwrite it?

I cannot get a lockscreen to stick. I set one (using photos, gallery, and Nova) but the brownish boat dock always comes back as the lockscreen.
I have deleted all the Magazine unlock pictures and the dock picture explicitly, but it still comes back.
Is there a location for a default lockscreen and can I overwrite it?

From gallery, pick the picture that you want to used as wallpaper. In 'more' option, select set as. Select wallpaper(gallery), set as both (home screen,lockscreen). Done.

I REALLY appreciate the response/help. Unfortunately not so on my rooted phone and/or with covered case. Gallery, Google wallpapers, Nova. Sticks for a pick then boom. Lockscreen back to dock of the bay, except...
It appears that the lockscreen, at least the one that comes up after lockscreen timeout (your lockscreen does stay for a swipe or other method, before timeout. It was themes, that is where (for me) the dominate lockscreen is. Themes didn't work (on an encrypted internal data partition). I got the full root working again then the Theme lockscreen predominated, even if the individual parts of a prebuilt theme were available to change. So I pick the least busy theme. Now you can change your own wallpaper (any method) with the new theme and it does stick.
Thanks again.
Interesting PITA.

Ok. Apologies. Absolutely right for the lockscreen. My problem is what I typically which is Smart Cover. That is what I cant mod. I use the luxury tueme for smart cover. Unfortunately every time I change it doesn't stick within the theme.

If I understand correctly, you are trying to change the S-View photo. This can be achieved only by applying a theme.
I highly recommend you to try this application to modify the theme that you are using , and select the S-view photo you like.

Hope this helps!
That helps, and by changing the right them it solves the issue completely. Some themes let you disable magazine unlock then all behaves as it should until you reenable magazine unlock.
