In my text messaging threads, I (as in Me) comes up in a little greyed out box.
I want to be able to set a picture for myself, but the HTC contact app won't let me.
I tried going into contacts>people>My profile>edit>camera button and selecting it, but once it's cropped, it reverts to cropping the picture again.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

UPDATED: Now includes example screenshots. One without the "empty space" highlighted/selected (grey then), the other with it selected (it's red then). I labeled it "empty space" in yellow"...
Ok, so I'm running bone stock dcd 3.2.5 - no kitchen used. I upgraded from the stock verizon rom, so these two roms are all I know. The dialer included is different from stock (I believe it's the vogue dialer? correct me if I'm wrong) Well one thing I noticed is there doesn't seem to be a way to get to my contact list like the stock dialer, without quitting the dialer app itself? (Please please correct me if I'm wrong and how to get to it!)
I thought the "Hide Keypad" button, was what I needed. It brings me to a "Calls + contacts" list. However, underwhere it says "Verizon Wireless" but before the first call/contact in the list, is a large blank space (in either screen rotation). It's around 1/4" tall. It's normally the same grey that is behind the "Verizon Wireless" header at the top. But if you cursor up in the list to the top, or click/touch the space, it turns red (I'm running a red theme) - like something's supposed to be there. But it does nothing, even if you hit the select button etc. Just changes from grey to red, depeding on if it's selected.
It seems to me, that this is where the search box should be, or "quick jump to:" letters tab, like the contacts list itself has (which, btw still works fine). The search box + "tabs" in the contacts list, happens to be the same exact height, as this "mystery blank space". Is that is what is supposed to be here?
If the blank space WAS a search box + tabs, it would be really helpful! And woudl be just as fully functioned as the contacts list itself...
I realize this post reads odd, and if I need to post a picture of my phone I will, but I figure anyone running this rom stock, would see what I mean. (off topic but can anyone reccomend a good way to take a screenshot in the phone?) Thanks in advance!!!
The only time I use my contacts list is to text message somebody, in which case I'm not at my dialer anyways. I guess if I had to tell somebody over the phone somebody's number, I'd use it then. Is that why you need it?
I included a screen capture software.

I use the contacts list to make additional calls while still in dialer etc.
Thanks for the cap program though it didn't work well. Found a good one from SPB.
I updated my original post with the screen shots. I labeled the space in yellow in question as "empty space"... Any input?
Anyone able to get the slideshow to work from your gallery? Mine tells me I need to choose at least two photos, lets me select them, then freezes. Anyone able to get it to work?
TIA
As long as you have photos in the gallery it should work. I've had at least 4 or 5 and I hit the slide show button it pops up and says display in Landscape and I normally click the box and it runs.
mine runs here no problems at all.
Hello there,
After installing the new rom from sony at first I was enable to place a contact picture as landscape mode when resizing on selecting the image.
After a while, didn't understrood if it was because i installed any program, it become to resize as a square and then when you go to contacts window it stays zoomed and not nice.
Any way of changing this?
maybe the old pictures back after the auto sync?
Same thing here... when i try to add pictures for contacts, some pictures asks for a landscape crop, while other asks for a square crop, without any recognizable pattern of behavior.
Sorry, but i still don't know what to do.
(Did you installed Gallery 3D?)

The SE stock ROM automatically tries to merge all of your phone-only contacts, SE Sync contacts, Google contacts and Facebook contacts together. Unfortunately, if you have the same contact on more than one service, then the same number shows up several times. Also, the phone-only contacts use the "landscape"-type pictures, but Google and Facebook use square pictures, and I think these photos override the phone-only ones.
What I did was to edit EVERY contact, press Menu and select "Split". This separates them (took forever). Then, I went to the phone book, pressed the "Groups" button in the upper-left corner, and set it not to display any Google or Facebook contacts. Now all contacts use the "landscape" style pictures.
The SE phone book merging stuff is TERRIBLE. Why would I want to see the exact same number or e-mail address two or three times? Why wouldn't I have the same number in all services (especially if I can sync my phone contacts to Google)? How is that useful? If it prevented numbers from showing up multiple times, then I might use it.
Found the problem,
When you install 3D Gallery 2.0 and uninstall the original one or you have an custom rom just with 3D Gallery 2.0 it stays on the square, if you install the original one it all comes to be normal with the wide picture format even if it is a Google contact.
The Google contact will stay with a crop and less def image but the phone shows the high definition wide that you choose
Kinda silly, but in ICS, when I make a shortcut with Direct Dial, it shows the label "Home" over the bottom-half of my contact's picture... 99% of my contacts only have one number anyway, so the "Home" title is useless & only blocks half their picture. Is there a way to remove this?
I have the bcm rom installed and I don´t know what you are running on your device.
I´ve found a little workaround:
When you long press on the shortcut you can customize it and change the Picture and the text is gone. But you have to do this for every shortcut.
Check the attached picture.
Hi All!
I installed a new ROM with ICS 4, this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612140 but, I having some problems with QuickPic. Multitouch for zoom photo don't work, when i try to enlarge a photo, quickpic zoomed it to max.
I wanted to point it in the right topic but i can't (10 post needed), so I reported here.
Anyone have a solution or alternative software!?
PS: With ES file Manager Gallery multitouch working fine!
I have a problem with Quickpic too - when I try to assign a picture to a contact - when you pick a picture, choose 'set as' and then try and assign a picture to a contact it just doesn't work. The picture to be assigned opens up with the margins to be set (edit mode), fades away for an instant and then comes back. When you set the margins and click the floppy disc icon (in the top right hand corner) to 'save' the picture the screen goes black and you have to exit the program. I'm fairly sure that this feature used to work fine up until recently. I've even gone as far as to do a factory reset on my phone, reflash my phone's ROM and reinstall the QuickPic app. No change though, I still can't set a contact picture.
Can anyone help? My phone is a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray.
