I put handcent onto my phone and only about 4 out of 25 contact pics actually show up, I have ones that are pulled directly from fb, others are in the phone, neither show up, the 4 that do show up are from fb but others from fb dont show up, anyone else have this problem? I like the fact that on a mms you can actually zoom in and out of the picture unlike the default messenger but want contact pictures, any ideas?

i had this problem too. what it was for me was a actual contacts issue. i had plenty of contacts from my SIM card that were being pulled when i wrote a new text message and the SIM contact was the one being used, and we all know SIM contacts don't hold pictures.
The same thing happened when people messaged me. The SIM contact would be utilized and the text would come with the name but no contact picture.
Solution you ask? DO what i'm doing, which seems to be working: Import all you sim contacts to the phone, delete all your sim contacts, then proceed to nicely cleanup all your contacts (whichever way you like, i prefer manually but there's apps i think for this), and make sure your contacts are all google based.
I'm doing it this way, and i percieve to never have to use the sim card again for contacts, until the day i stop using a google-enabled phone, then i'll just copy the contacts to the phone before i switch.
To the point: now all my handcent sms lists showc ontact pictures.
how did you bring all the Google contacts to be saved to the phone vs being synced....I'm searching through the phone but not finding it.
sorry, n00b question

if by "saved to the phone" you mean that i could see the same contacts on my phone, with a little "g" icon, that i could in my gmail account viewed through a desktop web browser, then i think you need to set your phone to view ALL the contacts it possibly can.
contacts-->menu-->display options--> check everything under "choose contacts to display"
now clean all that mess up. I'm just about done cleaing up all mine to just google contacts (all my contacts, when everything is checked, have the little "g" icon to denote being synced with my gmail account i believe)
I had the same issue where my contact profile pics wouldn't show on handcent as I received/sent out txt messages due to the contacts saved on my SIM. I just took out my SIM put it in my old phone and did a mass deletion of my contacts that were on there. Put the SIM back in my Vibrant, now all the profile pics show when receiving or sending out a txt.

damn! good thinking! i called my local tmobile store and asked if they could wipe my sim, but htey said no, and it'll cost $20for a new sim. bah! i just did it myself lmao.
I was wondering if it is possible to transfer apps from X10 to Arc so I don't lose the progress on the apps?
Also if anyone knows about Lookout Mobile, is transferring data from a phone to another a good option or does it only transfer stuff like SMS and emails?
You could use sony sync app that will certainly transfer all the contacts. Also if you have a spare sim card so that the phone is not in emergency mode you can just bt the contacts to the other phone.
While I have lookout I have not had to transfer to another phone so you would have to ask the developers.

I had all my files backed up onto a hard drive that crashed from my old droid x. I now have a thunderbolt with a new SD card and all that so retrieving old mms messages arent possible. so I was wondering does Verizon/Google (Gmail) have any way to getting some of those back? like a full archive of all the mms messages ive received or am I SOL? hah Thanks
I am running CM7 from an SD card on my NT. I saved a photo attached to an email and the Email app took me to the Gallery app. Now, I can't find a way back to the email In Box. I close the app and reopen it and it returns to the Gallery. It also doesn't help to clear the cache. Any ideas on how to get back?
Can you guys help me? My wife has the One, and I am not that familiar with HTC phones. It is on 4.3 and rooted. She says that when she saves pictures from an MMS, they are not showing up in the gallery, even after a phone reboot. Do you know where they are stored on the internal sd or why they are not showing in the gallery?
Thanks.
EDIT: Never mind. They were buried in the gallery a few levels deep.
