SMS & Google photos - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

Hello all,
I have been trying to use google photos from the messages app, and it just keeps showing a spinning circle and never shows my google photo's. I thought it would be awesome to attach my photos from my google photos without having to save to the device. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks

Well Google photos will work but only from the Google messages app (not the stock OnePlus app) so I just made that the default SMS app.

Pixelated contact photos

Hi all, I need some help. I can take a photo with the camera and then select a contact photo from within it, and it turns out fine. However, when I manually push a photo taken from another device (my 8MP camera) and I select a contact photo from within IT, the photo becomes pixelated. Although my brain may be playing tricks on me when I say that, at first, the contact photo doesn't look pixelated, after a while it looks horrible. Does it have anything with my contacts being synced with Google? As they appear to be pixelated on my laptop as well when I access my contacts under my Gmail account. ??????
Google compresses the pictures on Google Contacts. Turn off that sync or use Facebook for contact photos
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
I figured something like that was up. However i went under menu>more>accounts>my gmail account and deselected contacts, however all of my phone contacts are still linked with gmail. Argh! Ive rebooted with no success, it seems like the contacts are still syncing. Any suggestions?

Issue with Google contact pictures not showing up in dialer app

Ever since the Google+ app update yesterday with the new UI and interface my dialer app and people app on Nexus 5 don't show my Google+ contacts photos anymore. It's only showing the photos I have added to specific contacts in my Gmail contacts on the PC, otherwise the contacts show up as the generic silhouette. Anyone else have this issue? Did they change the setting in Google+? I am not seeing what they changed it to.
Thanks

Hangouts v4 and v5 Savings Photos To Wrong SD Location?

I've tried Google Product Forums, but no one seems to care about this issue.
Photos taken with Hangouts are no longer visible in the "Google Photos" app.
Photos taken with Hangouts are saved to "/sdcard/camera-p.jpg" and over written by each new photo.
Hangouts v3.3.94322993, which I have downgraded to again, saves them to "/sdcard/DCIM/Camera/" with a file for each photo.
Anyone else having this problem? It's preventing me from updating the Hangouts app.
Really, I'm the only one in the world on XDA forums with this problem?
Maybe I should buy a lotto ticket.

Is there a way of importing Facebook contact photos to Google/Android contacts?

Hi,
Since FB changed it's API, the only way of having contact photos using FB photos is having their app installed (bye bye haxsync). Since their app does a lot of other annoying things, I would like to know if there is a way to import those photos to Google Contacts without the FB app. It is possible to get those photos manually (entering the person profile and saving the photo), so there must be a way of doing this automatically. Anyone knows how?
Best
Daniel
