Contact pictures - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Too much of a xda n00b to post in the dev section, but my contact pictures are not showing up in either the people app or the messaging app. Usually the picture would be the contact's Facebook profile pic but nothing shows up. Not even for me on my contact card. There is an option to change the picture, but the only choices are from gallery or file browser. Yes I have the Facebook app & it is synced. Any help would be really appreciated

Doesn't that link with your contacts on your Gmail.

Search on the market for "Facebook contact sync" and look for contacts+ it works pretty good. It tries to take over a lot of functions but just pick your default each time and you never have to deal with it again

Thanks, I downloaded that from play store & synced it & it works pretty decent. Still doesn't display pictures in messaging app tho?...

That's weird it worked for me. Are you on jmod or just liquid?
liquid thunderbolt ics

Just the liquid

O maybe it only worked for me cause I'm on JMOD. Keep trying other fb sync apps I guess. Or maybe that one won't do it by linking

Is it worth switching to JMOD?

I'll have to try that app because that is the one thing I hate about ICS on my TB is that it won't sync any of my FB pictures. It says that it is in the accounts list but it doesn't do anything

It's not GMail specific but I personally like K-9 Mail for my e-mailing needs. Lots of ways to customize, clean, easy and fast. Also free, so doesn't hurt to try. Cheers!

I tried it yesterday on froyo but it's laggy. It also crashes a lot. The interface looks great though, perfect name for it.

Yea, it is a great app, the only challange is figuring out how to register an account.
If you go to the web site (google), they will invite you for a beta with android.
Once you install the app, like the genie widget, you are free to select topics of interest. Free to kick the tires.
A day later, the settings are dusted and it prompts you to register, if not, you have to go threw the selecting of the topics again.
I am having a great time with this app, just wished there was a way to register an account.

I actually was working on it a few days ago and it looks like the widgets need resources from some .jar files which aren't in sense 4, so if anyone else that knows a lot about that and really wants these widgets might be able to get it to work
I've gotten it open but it don't do any messages it crashes and it don't list anyone online and widget don't show up. Hmm I guess HTC just didn't want keep it which sucks it was awesome app.

[Q] Fastest, Lightest SMS App

What is the best SMS app other then the built in one.
The majority of apps I have found have extra useless features or are not smooth.
I am on android 2.3 Atrix 4G I could upgrade to 4.1 but I'd rather not.
Let me know what you use.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I use stock app.
Since you ask for a light one, there is an app called "FREE SMS SENDER" in play store. It can be used to send sms via Internet or the default carrier messaging thing.

Yeah I'm using go SMS in lite mode I just wish I could fully remove themes and Go store and all the bulk.

Yah. The go sms is filled with crap stuff. Even I used it once, it's completely messed up.
So I switched back to stock.
But I'm using the message app from CM10. That's cool with quick reply and call back thing.
Sent from my muffin LIFE! Under maintenance.!
Right, I just don't want to go to CM10 until it becomes more stable. I used it for months but CM7 is much more stable.
I'm using Messaging 7 which is light but still not ideal.

CM 10.1 no contacts

So I have just gone to CM 10.1 and I really like it other than the fact that it won't add my contacts. I have them synced with my Google account but they won't sync onto CM. And I can't get backup assistant plus so how do I get my contacts?

To verify, are your Google services set to auto sync? When does it say your contacts were last synced?
Thanks for the reply. About time someone at least said something. Anyway I had figured it out earlier today. Yes they were synced but for some reason my phone was only syncing 1 of my contacts with Google. It said the others were on my phone and not Google. I guess I just assumed they were all on Google by default. So I merged my phone contacts with Google and it worked
