This may be a lame objection but how tacky is it to have yourself listed as a contact in your directory
Qik video lists me as someone I can video chat with -
LInkedIN listed me as a colleague at my own damn job.
Do the morons that make the apps ever install them and use them?
Is anyone else having this same issue?
I ran into this crap today! Its listing my twitter name in the people app...extra annoying.
So I uninstalled everything that is "LinkedIn", Qik etc. Rebooted.
Reinstalled LinkedIn. rebooted. Myself wasn't listed. Hooray!
I then installed QIK. and BAM there I am listed as just a phone number at the top. So tacky and weak.
No way to delete it. It be ok if I could video chat with myself but it won't even let me do that.
I went into people then view then checked "only with phone number" and what do you know it got rid of my twitter name...hope this helps!

That's what I thought, I can log into messenger on my laptop and desktop. Tried again on my phone and still no dice. Guess I will uninstall and wait for the public release.
it works for me nice quality on my optimus one the only problem is the tilted video
in my case with the latest update of yahoo msngr chat/voice and video plugin and works fine not lagging, video quality is fair enough but the only thing that brings me headache is the tilted video in sideways no matter what angle my phone it always tilt sideways.. can someone also help me with that
Anyone else having an issue with having themselves listed as just your own phone number in contacts from QIK video?
I'm very annoyed by this. I like things to be clean and organized. I don't need myself listed right below myself in my own contact list. I don't call me often.
Any fix for this?
I see what your talking about now. I logged into Qik.com and say my number under phone numbers with a check mark. I didn't see anywhere to edit it, just delete it. I remember it was a huge hassle getting your number working with Qik when it first came out so I'm not gonna touch it. What I did for the time being is just shut off qik contacts so they don't show in my people. Go into people, menu, view, uncheck Qik video. You will just have to go into qik then to start a call instead of directly from people.
Hey there, this is my first HTC and Evo. Actually it's an HTC Evo 3D GSM. Rooted and on a stock 2.3.4 rom and stock kernel.
The thing that bothers me is the low res caller screen. I linked many Google contacts with their Facebook accounts. And set their caller pictures as well. But they are in so low resolution that actually i can count the pixels. I couldn't find an option for this and it's pretty annoying. Do you guys have the same issue, is this an Evo 3D thing, or is it just me?
You can see it in attachments.
Mine is slightly pixelated, but not even close as yours. See example below:
Yeah, mine has no hope. But i figured out something. The resolution of the caller picture has the same resolution which is used in little, tiny thumbnails on "People" section of contacts. I'm pretty sure that i dont have to change them manually. This shouldnt have happened at all. This is my third android phone. First one was Galaxy Mini, second one was LG Optimus Black. None of these used to have this kind of weird problem.
Mine does the same thing. It does look nasty.
If you have the contact picture stored on your sd then you can just edit the contact threw the people app and reapply the picture. I go threw the same thing after I wipe cache & davlik cache. It takes me like a good 35 to 40 min to reapply all the pictures in my contacts. I just leave it untill I have some down time to reapply them. Unfortunately I haven't figured out why this happens or a fix for it so I just work around it. Hope this helps.

That's terrible quality. I haven't had an Android phone yet that had half-decent contact photos UNLESS I was using HTC facebook contacts sync (as shown by tgruendler's post). I think it's a known problem with Google that they've failed to even address at this point. Once the contact becomes a google contact, the photo goes to crap. Even if the contact is stored only on the phone and the pic is on the sdcard, you're still probably going to have a bit of pixelation going on. My advice is use facebook sync on a sense rom. Sucks but that's the only thing that's ever really worked for me.

This use to really bother me when I first got my evo4G on release day. It's a very annoying issue that google refuses to address even know there is a huge thread about it on the google message boards. They just won't fix it. Sooooo since google is worthless here is your best work around that I have been using for a long time. Anytime you set a contact picture they get uploaded to google at which point they are are resized and over compressed which makes them look like crap.
Step #1 - Delete all contact pictures from your google contacts so they are blank.
Step #2 - Turn off facebook linking via htc sense & the facebook app.
Step #3 - Create a duplicate contact for the contacts you want to use high resolution pictures for. Very Important - the duplicate contact needs to be a phone contact & NOT a google contact. It should prompt you when making a new one.
Step #4 - Name the contact the exact same as your google contact. For example if your google contact is "Bill A" you would only fill out "Bill A" on your phone contact. Leave the rest blank, no #'s or anything.
Step #5 - While still in the phone contact you just created, set a picture on the PHONE contact. (At this point you should have all your high quality pictures saved & names on your sd card. I like to do 500X500 for mine) For best results use same amount of pixels across as well as down.
Step #6 - Once you have done that you need to link your phone contact to the google one. Most the time the phone will suggest this but sometimes it gets them wrong if it does just clear suggestion. Make sure when you do the link you start in the phone contact and not the google one.
Step #7 - You now have only 1 contact entry in your phone book with a high resolution picture that will show when the caller calls you or you dial out. The picture will not be backed up to google.
Tips: If you flash or reset your phone a lot, make a backup of your PHONE contacts only to your sd card before wiping. Don't backup anything else since the rest will be saved on google. Then when your done flashing, simply import the backups off your sd card. At this point you will have to manually go through and re-link the phone contacts to the google ones. Again make sure you set the link in the phone contact, not the google one. Sometimes when importing the phone backups it will have the phone number it backed up from the google contact. You have to delete the phone number from the phone contact or you get duplicates when sending texts which is kinda annoying.
I attached a full resolution screen shot below of one of my contacts looks like. I wish stupid google would just fix this but they don't seem to care. Hope this was helpful, good luck.
I've had this bug in so many ROM's.
I always get it fixed by either installing it if it isn't, or syncing the Facebook for HTC Sense. That one seems to get the crisp pictures, but the Facebook app is a bad one, that seems to be the culprit for pulling the blurry ones down.

Use Friendcaster. It has an option for hi-res pictures. Its not crystal clear, but its way better than what you are seeing.
Hey guys, thank you very musch four you replies and I'm sorry that I couldn't write a thing for days. I was out of town for a few days. Whatever...
First thing I did was to unfreeze the Facebook for HTC application and freeze Facebook for Android. I linked the contacts with Facebook with HTC. The result was a little bit better than the old settings. I mean, not crystal clear but at least I can recognize the person calling me. But still, it's not like the way I want, or it should be. What a shame for Google. It's just a photo. Why do you have to resize it that way?
I believe this is solved in ICS. Hi-Res Contact Pics Was A Feature.

Hi,
i have a strange problem: i'm constantly connected to facebook chat with my WP7.
(last update)
but i don't receive messages directly to WP7
so when i connect to facebook on my computer i see messages i never had on my phone...
does anybody got the same problem? it was working good 2 month ago and now it doesn't
Is it after updating to Tango?
Delete your Facebook account from your phone and unlink it on your Live account and then join them back together.
This is a problem that is starting to show up for a lot of users. Me included.
Most likely something to do with the integration itself. No one has been able to fix it as far as I know. Happens both on Tango or non-Tango so it's not related to that.
I can get like one or two messages from Facebook in the chat but then I get no more only to find out I got more messages if I log in to Facebook on the web and take a look. The messages just stops being delivered to the phone for some reason.

Have you ever used some kind of third party Facebook Messenger. I used to use IM+ which caused problems, because It didnt sign me off accurately, and left me signed in. This caused the same behaviour that you described. I suggest you to log in to your facebook accout and remove all the unused apps from your profile, and try It again. If It now works, maybe there is something with your operator, maybe they have network instability and lose some network packages or anything like that. If nothing works, try to do a hard reset, but make a backup before that in case It didnt solve your problem.
Yep exactly same thing
i already tried:
- hard reset
- disconnect / reconnect in "Messages" tab
- switch from "available" to "offline" and get back to available
- as OndraSter said, remove facebook link in Live, and then relink it
i hope Microsoft will solve the problem.
as far as i know, everything goes through Live no? so i think it's microsoft problem, not facebook
and i never used other softwares (like IM+)
I had this problem. Solved by itself.
What happens is when you reply a facebook message via integrated message app you'll stop receiving messages until you disconnect and connect again. Seen to be a problem with live integration with facebook, hope it'll be fixed with the new revamp they'll do to make MS web pages more metro.

i tried to remove facebook from phone, then add it again. but it doesn't solve the problem.
i'm facing another problem too: If i switch off the facebook chat in "messages", i keep connected to the chat. so poeple send me message but i don't receive them until i go to facebook application (which i never do)
Ok... I'm desperate. I hope someone can fix my issue. I don't receive ANY push notifications from certain messaging/texting apps... Like for instance: Hangouts. Also, I've just installed discord (voice and messaging app) , and nothing. Which confused me even more because it's only ever just been a hangouts/google problem. They only work if I open the app.. Then it just appears as normal, but what's the point of that? I've noticed this only happens for chat apps. Also that doesn't work: AndChat (irc app)
I'm assuming this only applies to messaging/texting apps becsuse every other app works fine.
So I finally started trying to figure this out because it's really bugging me, so I download the app push notification tester (which failed) as well as a app named PNF... Which relayed this information: received: com.google.android.talk CANCELLED / discord.com CANCELLED when I've had someone send me a message on any of these apps.
Also of note: I've tried many texting apps and practically none worked except for kik and steam which I did receive push notifications for properly.
Anyway... I'm lost and I hope someone can help me with this issue. Otherwise, my device works perfectly.
I'm running rooted fire hd 6 dev preview 5.1 and all correct versions of apps like Google play services and any others as far as I know.
Thanks and pleeease help
P. S. I just noticed chrome beta is saying CANCELLED as well for whatever reason.
