Hangouts SMS displays blank user image

Has anyone been able to figure out how to get a profile pic for yourself to show up in the hangouts SMS app for your SMS messages instead of the default unset gray generic picture?

Details:
1. g+ profile pic is set and appears in the top left of notification pulldown
2. have tried changing g+ profile pic from the phone
3. have tried adding my own phone number as a contact in the contacts app with the same g+ pic
4. have tried changing the g+ pic in g+ on PC
5. This is simply an annoyance and SMS functionality still works but why is this not happening to everyone?
6. when tapping the blank user pic this page comes up:
Full URL of error is: https://plus.google.com/_sms_only_account/about/
any ideas? There is a thread about this at AC forums also but nobody has come up with a working solution yet maybe some of you have this working?

Make sure you have set up the "ME" contact in the People app. That is what Hangouts uses for "you".

IIRC you can change your profile picture in Hangouts itself, somewhere in the settings. That should be synced with your G+ account, but you didn't mention trying this in your post.
If that doesn't work I'd try going into Settings > Apps > Hangouts > Clear Data and see if that helps.

yeah that is all setup with a pic and my phone number and link to g+ and everything, might try clearing the hangouts app cache and data and see if that changes anything

well this is dumb.. you MUST be signed in to the hangouts half of it to see your pic in the SMS half.. @[email protected]
when not signed into hangouts even tho i can send myself a SMS and see my pic in the "from" left side lol the "to" right side is still blank
way to half-ass it Google

That's a funny quirk. I will say though, if I weren't using the Hangouts half of the app I don't think I would use Hangouts for SMS. There are so many better options out there.

[Q] Twitter notification tone

Is any one else having problems picking a notification tone with Twitter? Every time I pick one it just goes back to default. Thank you for any help.

Yes I posted the same problems.. and now I'm getting no notifications

Download fenix instead or the new twitter from www.apkmirror.com

the latest APK does the same - reverts back to the default. One option my wife thought of was to change the default to silent and then change the notifications in the other apps.
There are many other apps but none will push the notifications outside of the app for the tweets of people you request because of the Twitter API.

I have the same problem. The button to save the notification sound setting is missing (and exiting the page doesn't automatically save the change).

any resolution on this subject?

No there's been a few updates but no fix for this on the s6. I reported it to twitter but I suppose it's not a very big issue really

Still not seeing any resolution on the latest build 5.69.0

Same issue on the note 5

Here we are 6 months down the line and they still haven't fixed it.

Set "default notification sound" in phone settings to the one you want for Twitter then change notification for messages to the one you want for SMS msgs.
Sent from my SM-G920F

The problem is there is no OK button on the notification sound dialog box on the GS6/Note 5.
My wife has a Note 4 and the same Twitter app version has an OK button which successfully changes the tone.
My Note 5 doesn't have an OK buton. Backing out is the same as the cancel button.
Note 5:

Same problem on the Samsung S7. This is really annoying. Please somebody fix this problem

Agreed. Seems like both a minor issue, and because it has lingered for so long, a very annoying one.
Even the Default/Messages setting workaround upthread is a no go for me, because there are apps (i.e. my local news app that send breaking news alerts) that give the Twitter sound with that setup.
Seems this should have been fixed a long time ago.

Download es file Explorer. Remove the app defaults for twitter/media storage. Open twitter and go to notifications. When it pops up the app to use choose es file Explorer and browse to ur customer notification. Works for me on s7

Notification problem on Facebook App Tap Login Screen

Hey guys, I have a problem I cannot seem to figure out.. Probably a week or two ago I stopped getting logged out notifications, I use the Tap login (saved password login) where it shows your picture and you tap it once to log in, the problem is it no longer shows the red dot with the number of notifications waiting anymore. Here are the things I've tried.
Going to APPS in Settings and checking that "Show Notifications" is enabled, which it is.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Went to in-app Settings and Notification Settings (assuming that even has any effect on Logged out notifications I'm not sure if it does or not.) Still appears to be ok settings.
Other things I've tried:
Clearing FB app cache.
Clearing FB app data.
Unintalling FB app completely (including files left after uninstall)
Reinstalling FB app.
Clearing Cache from Recovery Mode.
Factory Reset from Recovery Mode.
None of which has fixed the problem.
Here are some details that may be useful:
Phone: ZTE ZMAX2 (z958)
Android OS Version: 5.1 Lollipop
Facebook App version: 180.0.0.35.82
I thought maybe FB broke something in one of their updates or something but everyone knows FB has next to nothing as far as support, they do have the "report a problem" on facebook but you always get an automated reply and never really know if your getting anywhere by reporting it. Also the developer email on google play but again with so many users I imagine the amount of support emails I doubt they are able to monitor them efficiently.
Anyone have any ideas whatsoever as to what the problem could be? Could it be an android setting somewhere that is blocking the apps logged out notifications? Or possibly app not syncing?
Any help would be appreciated.

bump... Anyone?

Question iPhone users not receiving my Google messages text

I've had this issue where iPhone users are not receiving my text messages. More specifically, they are not receiving sms that i sent through my Google messages. If i send an MMS message ( either with a picture or by adding a subject line) then they will receive it. I can receive and view their messages but they can't see my sms messages.
I have the unlocked variant of the s22 Ultra with a T-Mobile US sim card. I feel like I'm the only one with this issue.
Things i have tried:
-Reset all network settings
-changing "Access Point Name" settings
-Turned off Google messages chat feature
+Worked with an iPhone user to to change
their settings for my phone settings.

I really don't know what else to do. Is there a way where it can automatically only send text as MMS? Any other fix?

Do you have chat features enabled? If so it's it green text that says connected?

I originally had the chat feature on (because i thought this was the problem) but since trying to troubleshoot, I've turned it off.

Have you tried the Samsung Messages app?

I just tried it right now and it's not working either. Exact same issue.

What phone did you come from?

skylinegtr116 said:
I did this, I deactived my number from imessages . Since I transferred everything over I deleted all the conversations I previously had on my s22. That seems to do the trick for me now I don't have issues with iPhone users.

Problem seemed to start on my s21 ultra ( that i noticed) then jumped into the pixel 6 pro, it still happened there. Now i have the s22 Ultra.

I never had an iPhone to be able to delete anything from imessage. So that's kind of odd for me.

Was on chat for 2 hours with my carrier (T-Mobile) and they said it was an iPhone issue. That the fix would need to be on all of the individual iPhones that I'm having issues with. I guess i won't be contacting those people anymore.

Question Galaxy watch 4 - watsapp and messages notifications not receiving

I tried to search a similar thread - unable to find it hence posting a new thrread. Recently bought Galaxy watch 4. I am not getting watsapp alerts and messages (sms) notifications in my watch. I tried resetting the watch, restarting both phone & watch, allowed all permissions but still not working. Watch is upto date.
Can someone help or anyone faced similar issue ?

I have the same problem. watch 4 clasic 46mm with note 20 ultra phone
i reseted both device but the problem not solved !

Ok. I was about to reset my device as that is the only option left for me. I tried everything else. Buying costly watches and it is not even provding the basic functionality. They are taking customers for granted.
Do you have only watsapp issues or both text messages and watsapp issue ?

Informer: messages for Wear OS - Apps on Google Play
WhatsApp voice messages, call notifications, message history, vibration patterns

Give it a try
