When using handsent, or other 3rd party messaging apps, my contacts images do not show up. Is anyone else having this problem, or know what is going on? Things are fine in the sense messaging app.

I have the same issue too. I even tried to use Handcent and GOSMS PRO, and still no contact images.
Yeah, I don't get contact images either. There are sometimes when handcent does not send a message though. It will just continuously show the sending icon. Does anyone else have this problem?
Same here using Go SMS. Stock messaging app shows the pics.
Same and I'm using chomp

Glad someone else asked this, because I was just fixin to make a post about it. Also, when I had handcent on my Evo 3D, I had the option to display only mobile numbers when selecting who to send a message too, I can't seem to find that option anymore on the x. Also is anyone else having a problem with the Handcent new message counter at the top not showing the number of new messages you have? I have the counter option enabled, but it's not working. Maybe they just need to do an update.
I think there is something much bigger going on because even in lattitude on google maps contact photos of who you are following are blank.

a far bigger problem is that these third party messaging apps confuse incoming texts with the wrong people, then when you respond, it sends the text to the wrong person. ive tried go sms pro, handicent so far, but the only one that works well is the stocker
messaging app no pics
I am having the same issue even with stock messaging app and all 3rd party ones as well...
I am rooted but have not changed anything myself yet.
any suggestions?
thanks
Any ideas as to what is causing this yet? Like previously stated its doing the same thing in other apps not just messaging apps. In latitude if I click on a user icon I get an extremely crappy image. But that is only if I click on the icon which has the question mark.
I've recently noticed that if I edit a contact the pic will then show up. Or if the contact is on in GTalk the pic will be in Handcent where others will not.
hmmmm.....
The following should work which was posted by troyboytn , i have yet to get my phone yet.

His quote
You will need the three files attached to accomplish this. Very easy....
Step 1: extract facebook_photo_fix.sh from the zip and place it and sqlite3 and libncurses.so on your sd card
Step 2: Using Root Explorer, mount rw
Step 3: place the sqlite3 file in /system/xbin. Set permissions to rwxrwxrwx.
Step 4: place the libncurses.so file in /system/lib. Set permissions to rw-r-r.
Step 5: download script manager from the Play Store and open. Grant SU when prompted.
Step 6: scroll down til you find the facebook_photo_fix,sh file, click on it.
Step 7: on the next screen, click the Su box and then click run.
Step 8: after the script runs, reboot your phone and your facebook contact pics should now show up in Google Voice as well as 3rd party launchers and messaging apps
That worked, thanks.
worked for 3rd party but still not in the stock messaging app.
thanks tho
I've been playing around with GoSms pro and I noticed if you do not have HTC Facebook synced with your contacts GoSms works perfectly. This sucks though.

If your stock htc messaging app does not show, remove your Facebook account and re add it syncing all contacts

Facebook is/was the problem working good now but still seems to be qwerky when I start linking some of the contacts.
thanks a ton
Supposedly if you remove your Facebook account and install and use Friendcaster instead, FB contact photos will show up in all 3rd party apps. I just heard that Friendcaster isn't as functional as the Facebook for Android app.

i got same problem
Google disabled Facebook integration in their stock messaging app. This is working as intended. Use Go SMS Pro if you want Facebook integration back.
If you want to stay with the regular mess app best thing to do is flash fresh sbf go in set up your facebook account under accounts and also let your gmail sync let it fully finish then do the whole root process i finally got it down cause thats one thing that drove me crazy. But im back using go sms cause its alot better i think
I know this sounds crazy but the email app from the Charge works with my Roadrunner email account - the email app from the Fascinate does not. I tried to push it with root explorer on my rooted Fascinate but it force closes when i launch it. Anyone wiling to help? Thanks so much.
my roadrunner works on mine. what problem are you having?
I get connection problems. I am on the roadrunner.com server not rr.com and the incoming and outgoing settings take when setting up but when checking email, it gives a connection problem via a yellow bar that appears.
Settings I use:
u: [email protected]
pop-server.roadrunner.com 110
mobile-smtp.roadrunner.com 25
I'm having this issue with my hotmail account. I had to download a hotmail app.

I've read other posts where its been a known issue with the fascinate's email app and how it interacts with certain pop3 servers. I think they resolved it in the Charge since I tried my email account on co-worker's phone.
Just use another email app
Thanks, but with all due respect, that's not the point...if the gps didn't work, then just buy a garmin? And if the phone camera froze when taking pics then just use a traditional camera?
Try searching for the email.apk from the Galaxy Tab. That works on our phones, and mighty fix your problem.
I use pop-server.cinci.rr.com since I'm in Cincinnati. Double check your server address. It works great on my fascinate on the tw email app.

This make absolutely no sense. I said just get another email app, There are definitely email apps in the Market. Your telling me to go spend money on something else. If your normal email app doesn't work just go get another app, its not hard.
Here you go Even deodexed it for you
I pushed file to system/app thhen changed permissions and removed the old email.apk but when I reboot, I get a looping forceclose of the process com.android.email even before I attempt o launch it. Has anyone else tested this?
I copied the Galaxy Tab email.apk from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810454
Root Explorer - copy\move existing email.apk to a backup folder and then copy\move new .apk to app folder. Clicked on it, installed, and reconnected to email account.
sadly, corporate email administrator settings for security lock on screen timeout still doesnt work. Otherwise, it works and looks nice.
Update: suddenly stopped delivering new mail and no manual refresh button. If these 2 things can be resolved by a developer this would be a great email app on the Fascinate, though it does have a distinct ipad feel to it. . Pinch zoom works and in landscape you can roll each pane separately.
Second Update: tried flashable version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12011499#post12011499
gives manual refresh option, but is not working with Exchange. ( wont download current day mail, only day prior and beyond). sending works fine.
supposedly works with non- Exchange accounts.

I tried it, same problem. Deleted email.apk in Root explorer in between FC's to stop it, reinstalled another .apk
Hey guys, is anyone missing options to include as attachments in the gmail app? The regular mail app has options to include locations, vCards, videos, voice recordings, etc.
i have the attachments option in gmail,
but i don't have as many options as the stock mail app, either.
i would think that the MAIL app simply has all of them as pre-sets, but if you use GMAIL then you can simply navigate to them using the pop-up suggestion of 'file explorer' or any other apps like 'andro-zip' that you have installed (which also popped up in my gmail attachment option)
Yes, that would be a viable option if I wanted to send something like a document, picture, etc. However, it would be nice to have the integration of the vcard, capture picture/video, send GPS coordinates, and other items that are not specific files on my phone.

good point
although some of those are indeed possible--but strictly from the app in which you would find them (*GPS--Maps app, for example)--
it would indeed be nicer to have just one starting place (gmail) from which all of those could be shared.
I was thinking the functionality was missing, but it seems like it was never implemented? I just looked at my Xoom and it only has my file browser and gallery. I thought my HTC Touch was able to attach these items, but I can't remember as it has been over a year since I have messed with it. Plus it was running some other hero Rom or something like that...

anyone else here use go sms? i can't figure out why, but for the contact pictures, it's pulling everyones picture from their google picture i have on there (which was from syncmypix like MONTHS ago, so they're all outdated)
i have checked "pull pictures from facebook" and have checked email, name and number..and it doesn't work. this worked correctly on my incredible, and it was able to pull their facebook images in gosms fine...won't work with the rezound.
anyone else have any insight? i'm wondering if it's because they got rid of Facebook for HTC Sense and only use the facebook app for syncing now :\
Mine has Display Facebook avatars checked and I have it Match by Name. It seems to prefer facebook avatars over what are in my google contacts. Not sure if any of that helps you :/
wtf mines opposite, it shows google pics over facebook, which is really annoying lol
Mines the same, if I have any Google photos, it shows those instead of Facebook. Where as it shows Facebook on GO Contacts. No matter how I configure the settings. It's weird. Lol.
I had this same issue. What I found out, is the official Facebook app does not support access to the friend photos by third party apps. That's why it uses the google contact photo instead.
The older phones had Facebook for HTC Sense, that obviously is not the official facebook app so it allowed third party access to the photos. I have run into the same issue with SMS popup. Try using Friend Caster to sync facebook photos to your contacts, that'll allow third party apps to access the photos.
I just deleted google photos and it defaulted to the Facebook ones

let me know if it does
guys, great responses!
i didn't know friendcaster replaced facebook in terms of contact pics..i tried using it once and didn't really like it's UI.
as for that script, i'm going to run that tomorrow. i'm perm rooted, so he says you should just be able to push some lines of code to get it to work. great find, guys!!
I'm a huge fan of GoSMS, its definitely the best out of the third party sms apps on the Android market!
Handcent on the other hand seems to display up to date contact pictures. Which does it take from though, Google contacts or the Facebook app?
So basically GoSMS previously synced pictures from HTC Sense's Facebook, but now in Sense 3.5 it no longer exists being replaced by the offical Facebook app which doesn't allow access by 3rd party apps :/

I know this thread has been quiet for a couple weeks, but just wanted to confirm that did indeed do the trick. I use Handcent normally, but I did download Go SMS real quick to test and that showed my contact pictures again too.
Most of my favorites I display on my people widget are linked between my google contacts and facebook profiles. No matter how many times I change them to display the google contact pic, it always changes back to their facebook profile pic after a little while.
Searched high and low with no luck. Have had the problem with stock rooted and mean-rom.
Any ideas?
I've had to go into each "favorite" contact and manually change them from facebook picture to google picture of the contact.

Yep, I've done that at least a dozen times, but It will revert back to the facebook pic. Let know if it stays for you.
I can't isolate the problem either. It seems to keep it on restart. I will even keep it when I restart sense.
My thinking is the facebook sync is overriding my settings, but I dont' know how to stop it from overriding. I still want all of my other contact to sync up...
Haxsync, sync contacts then manually select the contacts you don't want to update and turn off Facebook syncing.

Works great, thanks.
According to the settings, it doesn't look like it would do what I want. But I installed it a few days ago, and everything now works how I like it to.
