cannot remove contact photo - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all,
I am using nexus 5 with marshmallow. Now I don't think if anyone faces this issue or not but I am not able to remove contact photo from contacts. There is no option to remove contact picture. Is anyone there facing the same problem? any solution?

That's what I am saying. There is no 'Remove photo' field there. Only 'Take new photo' and 'Select new photo' is there

how do you sort your contacts by last names first?

it seems by default G2x sorts my contacts by first names. I prefer the way iphone does that letting me choose how to sort contacts and display them. is there any easy way to change this setting?
I don't own a g2x yet.. but on my vibrant you just need to go to contacts page and press menu button. display options -> sort list by: last name

auto sync gmail

Has anyone gotten their gmail to auto sync? Has anyone gotten facebook to work?
Yeah, Covered it in one of the threads in dev:

Actually, the sync settings are still technically there... you just can't get to them from amazon's settings app. I found an app in the market using another device called "sync settings" that basically just shortcuts that settings window - and now I have sync working perfectly.
Syncsettings: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.francesandmarky.android.syncsettings
APK Attached.

Thank you for your help!
There is an easier way.
1. Open the gmail app
2. Menu -> Accounts (do not select anything yet)
3. Menu ->Account settings
C.
Hahahah. Nice Find!

I have also noticed that gmail sync mysteriously turns off and I have to switch it back on in the menu. The problem is I have already done that but it turned itself off again. I don't know if it is CM7 bug or Google issue.

For that one go into the Calendar and select Menu>More>Calendars. You should see a list of all your calendars associated with your gmail account. You'll have 2 options for each one: Sync and Visible. Give it a minute or two to load everything.

I have gapps.zip but see no calendar app. What's it's full name?
Edit: yeah, definitely no calendar app, just the sync adapted

Deleting contacts on the Galaxy S3

Is there an easy way to delete a bunch of duplicate contacts on your Galaxy S3?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Go to contacts --> settings softkey --> delete --> select the contacts to delete by checking the box in front of them and hit delete.
Or if one is on your phone and the other on the SD/SIM/Google/WA/Whatever: contacts --> settings softkey --> Contacts to Display --> whichever one you need.
Alternatively, sync them with Google and delete them through your Gmail. Which is more work, if you ask me.

I was going to move this to the S III forum, but you can't really argue with the above answer, so...there you have it.

Your thread title is misleading to thread searchers and isn't descriptive. Change it.

[Q] Choose phonebook source?

Hi all. I can't seem to find where to set the default address book to pull up when using the phone app. All I see is all contacts at the top which is definitely not what I want. Thanks!

Go to the people app, on the bottom right tap on the 3 dots and you will see an option to choose which contacts are displayed.
Hope this helps.
