could not find even where to set it. Does it have to be done on web, as a posed to xda mobile?
thank you

Oh...I thought you meant on the device itself, not the XDA forum app. Sorry. I've tried to find out and it doesn't seem possible yet.
Open Google+, go to menu, Settings, Account, Contacts, and turn on" Keep contacts up to date" and it will pull your profile image from your Google Account/G+ profile into the phone.

Oh... In the Forums... Sorry, thought you meant the user icon on your phone. I don't think you can set via your phone in the app, have to do it via web browser.

Hey all.
I love myself so much that I would love to see my face near the "Me" mention within SMS threads.
However, while all my contacts have their own contact icon showing up near their names, I only get to have a grey square near the "Me" mention when I send SMSs (check screenshot above).
Anyone knows how to fix this ?
Thanks !

I'd like to know this too. I have my google profile set up with some info including a pic. The google calendar does seem to pick up my bday from there, but the Messaging app don't appear to be using my picture on my nexus s.
I've tried to do this too on my Hero to no avail.
WTF? for real?
Go in your Contacts and find the first contact card named Me. Then just insert your own photo by clicking the box and selecting it, you are done.

There is no "Me" entry in my contact list.
EDIT : tried to manually create a "Me" contact. I'm still having a gray square near the "Me" mention in SMS threads.
WTF? Thats more retarded idk what google doing these days.
Do it manually then by going to your SMS thread and clicking "Me" and by adding yourself via New Contact. Then put whatever you want in data input and click on the User Avatar and pick your photo.
You need to ensure your mobile number is attached to the contact.
If you're using handcent you can

You just need to sign in to your google profile and add a picture there. Then it will change.
www.google.com and sign in.
Click settings > account settings. Click Edit Profile.
If you change it with handcent it will work for all SMS apps even after uninstall of handcent. Works for me on the stock message app.

Do you have a contact created with YOUR mobile phone number attached to it?
You may also need to ensure that "My Phone Number" in about -> phone shows your number (search for a guide if you need it).

Yes, I do have a contact with my phone number attached to it.
However, I'm not able to change the "My phone number" setting in the "About" menu.
See screenshot above :
Guys - this is in other threads - you need to assign your phone number on your SIM. You CANNOT do this form the NS. So - find some old phone, plug your SIM in and write the phone number to it - then when you use it back in the NS you'll get your picture...

How do I do this ?
Just inserted my SIM card in an iPhone, and I cannot edit the "My number" entry.
As the chap above said this is discussed elsewhere. Sony erricson phones will let you do it.
OK I worked around the issue in this way:
From my gmail (on a computer), I created a contact for myself. I added my phone number, and my gmail account as the email. Then for the picture, the contact manager let me use "their picture". In this case, "their picture" is the picture I assigned to myself in my google account profile.
This really isn't a "solution", just a workaround. You also really shouldn't have to use 2 phones to sync your own google account profile to your own "pure google experience" phone. Android should automatically have a contact that syncs your google profile info, so you don't have to type it in twice. Right now only the profile pic is auto-sync'd.

Indeed.
That's pretty unacceptable for a high-end flagship device.

Which part isn't working? The part you do on your computer (setting picture as "use theirs"), or the sync to your phone?
Is there anything I can install or run to make my contacts pull Facebook photos and information? I installed a syncing app, but it didn't pull over anything.
i would also like to know...when i had my htc sensation it was called link...

They disabled contact information because Facebook pulled a ****ty move and listed all users as having their primary email set as [email protected]
It screwed a lot of people over.
Contact photos, not quite sure
Thanks for the heads up. The stock ROM kept all my photo's but I have aokp running now.

Hrm...maybe they fixed it. I use the "Facebook" app from Facebook itself and have it "Sync existing contacts". It sync pictures, email (the proper one, not the @facebook one) and other things from their profile (e.g. phone number).

That's odd, good of course, but still odd. I checked and all my friends main email addresses on their profile is Facebook. Although to be honest I don't know how many of them had actual email addresses listed

I have searched all over the forums and I cannot find anything about this. I made a google plus account the other day and after I made it I went to my gallery and there were backups of all my pictures and I don't want them there. I've tried just about everything from going into the app and seeing if there were any options to stop it, from going into my phones settings. I can't seem to find where to turn this off at, it's really getting on my nerves because I want them gone and I can't just delete them! Thanks in advance!
Did you rush through the installation of Google plus? There's an option to sync pictures and stuff I think.

I saw that and I unchecked it and still they won't go away.
If I remember correctly you have to login to your Google account settings and then uncheck from there but it has been a long time since I turned mine off.

I went to an app that was called google settings and I went to camera & photos and turned off auto backup that's the only thing that I can think to do. I went back and still no dice the photos are still there.
This is the image from my phone showing the pictures. You can see that there is the one folder that is named camera. The other ones are the backup photos can't be deleted.
That's Picasa back ups. Go into settings, under Accounts select Google. Then at the top it should show your Gmail account and when it synced last, tap it. Then scroll down and uncheck Sync Picasa Web Albums. That will stop it adding any more. To get rid of the ones already there I THINK you clear data/cache for the gallery app... But it's been awhile since I did it. I just remember it took me forever to get rid of them... I didn't need over 1000 pics backed up twice.

What is strange here is if you go to the Album app and select Settings/Cloud Accounts and press Add account it only lists (on my G3) Box and Google, nothing for any other cloud accounts.
If there is a way to add other accounts from the G3's main Settings/General tab/Cloud then please pass on how to.
Again the only accounts listed are a Box and Dropbox, why just these two!

Okay... Now we have established your camera app is slightly a different version, let's try the same for the Gallery app
Mine is running v4.21.20
And just in case the Cloud part of the a Gallery app is getting the info from the OS mine is running 10e-EUR-XX UK International carrier free.
I should be able to send you the Gallery app later tonight provided I get back in time.

I want to add a reminder to Inbox, which makes URL links clickable, to open an app on certain dates (in this case Nook.)
Is there any way I can make a URL that when clicked on my phone, will open that app on the phone?
The closest I've got is going to its Play Store entry.
Thanks!

I don't it will work that way because the app is on your device, your device nor your app are Web pages so how could a URL do this? Unless you can figure something similar to how an email with an XDA link can be opened in the XDA labs or Tapatalk app.
You can probably set something up between Gmail and Tasker to open the app.

Well I figured that Chrome had a way to parse certain links locally without a connection. Maybe something like app:// or local:// etc.

URLs don't work without being connected to a network that I know of. I could be wrong but when you click a link it has to run its course thru the network to find the URL, if that URL is on your device it still needs to go out over the network and make its way back to your device to open whatever you set the URL to open on your device.
