Hangouts - Click on MMS pic, shows unrelated pic from way back - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

This one is nuts.
Ok so my girlfriend switched to Hangouts because the stock messaging app would go to Gallery after viewing an MMS pic instead of going back to messages. Never did get that fixed.
But Hangouts is doing this weird thing where when she opens an MMS pic, it shows it for a second or two, and then switches to an old pic it's getting from some other place.
I uninstalled it, cleared cache and data, re-imported the messages into Hangouts, but nothing fixed it.
Does anyone have any ideas? She's on the stock ROM.
Thanks in advance!

I had this exact problem before. I'd tap on a new pic and it would instead show one from waaaay back. I thought it had something to do with restoring messages from Titanium Backup so I just deleted the old texts...never found a real fix.

Seems to be an under the radar bug. Always happens when a message contains more than one image. Then shows an earlier image instead. Not sure, but every time it seems to be an iPhone sender too. Maybe iPhone users just like to send more pictures!

[Q] Gmail app not sending emails?

I've searched for an answer but couldn't find one.. my gmail app won't send any emails. It just says "sending" forever. I'm using a rooted vibrant on stock 2.1 rom, with JAC's kernel.
There have been a few people myself included experiencing this sporadically but I haven't seen a fix or a reason why it's doing this just yet.
Sent from my awesome Vibrant using XDA App
I have yet to be able to actually send an email via Gmail on my phone. I can receive them all day long, but the times I try to compose a message, they just say "sending" forever.
Also, I have noticed that when i receive a message and delete it, it doesn't actually delete it from my Gmail. I have to log into the webmail or use my desktop.
I'm running the stock rom, rooted.
I used to have this happen on my g1 frequently, haven't had it happen on my vibrant yet though. Typically when it would happen on my g1, I would go into the google apps and clear all the data. Couldn't just do it on gmail either, had to do the other google apps too for whatever reason, then it would work again.
Good luck, it's pretty annoying.
Try k9. It's a bit slow at times but it's pretty solid. Best email app I've found yet. I use it for msn, live, gmail, yahoo and my company email.
Honestly I'm pretty disappointed in the stock email apps that came with this phone. I think they're kinda garbage. Apparently my Sidekick '08 was better for that, not to mention the lack of IM.

This happened to me yesterday for the first time. I chalked it up to the gmail servers having issues. But as soon as I plugged in the charger the emails went out. Maybe if battery is low it won't send email? It didn't tell me it wasn't going to send them, it just didn't send them.
I find that I have to go to gmail and manually send each one from the outbox, they still say sending but they actually do send after doing that, because the recepient always says they get it.
So for example, if you send a pic from gallery, make sure you go to gmail after, go to the outbox then click on the mesage and then click send.
* To get to outbox go to gmail then click menu > labels
Sucks but works till we get froyo yo
i'm on a Samsung captivate running the leaked jh3 firmware. It's rooted and running SuperRooter and circle clock.
I noticed that after reflashing to the stock jh3 gmail would send
After installing superrooter gmail would send
After installing circle clock gmail would send
But after I backed up apps with titanium backup it stopped working. I think TiBU is causing an issue for me.
Anyone else have TiBU in your problems some how?
Update: Got it working
I did this:
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, home button then filter, select all. Next Select gmail, clear data and clear cache. Then do the same with gmail storage.
Now it works!

This fixed it for me as well. I am unsure of what caused it to not work in the first place, though.
nice, clearing cache/data worked for me. i was gonna reflash my phone to stock and start from scratch. this saved me a ton of time. +1

my gmail is having the same issue as here, has anyone found a better solution to the problem then clearing the data as that deletes the currently stuck sending gmails.....
also I cant do the process above if its in a conversation, does anyone know how to open a sending gmail when it has all the other responses attached to the top of it??? that process onnly works for individually sent mails, not "replied" mails that bring other messages with it into the outbox.
anyone know how to detach it from the others or even open the data files to remove text using some sort of tool???
bump for some possible resolutions to force the message to send and or view the message to copy text...m even a wayto view data from it so clearing data wontclear message tryingto be sent???
please got a long, important email i need sent...
Seriously doubt this is just a Vibrant issue as it would happen A LOT to me with my MT3G. So far, knock on wood, it hasn't happened with the Vibrant.
I have the captivate running cog2.2 and deleting the cache under "manage applications" worked for me. I was going crazy! Thanks for the help!
I have Titanium Backup and actually had to restore my ROM with ROM Manager and a couple of apps from Titanium Backup and developed this problem. Clearing data and cache under the Gmail App and Storage + Reboot fixed the problem.
Danger
I too have been having issues with emails (and now SMS?) messages stuck in "sending..." mode. I had several emails from a month ago that I just now noticed didn't send, so I backed up gmail, cleared data, restored the emails and tried to send them individually. On the plus side, my emails did send.
On the minus side, some of them had pictures and my phone took the liberty of sending the wrong pictures from my camera (I was "sharing" pictures from the camera app). So to be safe, just delete the emails!

Email app not displaying images

Anyone else having this problem or know of a setting for this? I have my Yahoo mail set up. Emails with text display fine, but email with images (mostly emails from companies like ebay, etc) just come up blank. I don't see any settings or option to display images for the app.

Yup...if you want the images to display you need to go under the Receive Settings in the email app and choose a larger limit, otherwise, the images will not be displayed right away.
Hmmm... Don't have the show HTML button. I remember that from my Evo 3D, but don't have it on the Rezound. I have already bumped the download limit to 100kb and was having the issue. Bumping it up to 1mb now.
So I actually do have the show HTML button in some emails, like from livingsocial, but not others...

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.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
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.

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

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.

[Q] Updated 4.3, loosing contact pic in text messages

I just updated my HTC One to 4.3 today, things seem to work fine except that when I get a new text message, the contact picture for that user or sometimes all users of current texts disappears for a while than magically comes back. If I go into contacts, the person's picture is always there. Also, it is not consistent, sometimes it happens and sometimes not. Anyone else experience this after the update/any solutions? I did notice that during the update it said updatinig contact database.

Same is happening to me. It's not really a problem for me, I just close the app from the recent apps list and open it again and it's back to normal. Annoying but I can deal.
I'm having this same issue and it seems it's affecting all HTC One's running 4.3, not just T-Mobile. Any thoughts as to possible causes of this problem? I hope HTC becomes aware of it so they can fix it.
This is weird. It's happening to my friend too. I don't have this problem though. I told my friend to clear data on s few apps like contacts, people, dialer, phone and messages. She said it was good for a day but today is back to the same problem. I wonder why some people have this problem and some don't.
Are you guys having problems with all contacts or just some? Maybe it's happening to the contacts that aren't backed up with google?

It's happening randomly on pretty much all contacts (and all my contacts are Google contacts). The only unique thing I have is that my contact photos are synced to my phone using HaxSync. For those of you also with this issue, do you use HaxSync?
I can't figure out what could be the cause of the issue. I contacted HTC and they just told me to clear the cache.
Others have been experiencing the problem here as well: http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one/319268-sms-contact-picture-4-3-a.html
Some even performed a factory reset and the issue was still present so clearing the cache wouldn't be a fix.
For me, it does not matter if the picture is from my gallery (google pic) or sync'd to Facebook. It gives the same result. I have tried turning off Facebook sync but it does not make a difference. Given a little time, the picture always returns or I can go into open apps and "close messaging" and when I reopen all pictures are there.
After doing some research, I went into recovery mode and cleared system cache after a couple places suggested this after an update. Unfortunately, this made no difference. I was going to try a factory reset and let all my contacts resync, etc but don't want to do all that work if it is not a sure solution. This all worked just fine for me prior to the update. Hopefully, this will get the attention of HTC. Also, I have read in the last couple days that HTC is preparing another update that is hitting other countries first to move all HTC One's to Sense 5.5. It looks like as big a file as this past update so maybe a fix may be there?
I have it too. HTC screwed up here. They'll have to address this in a next update. Lets all email HTC and let them know

OK, so I've been Tweeting with @TmobileHelp and I advised that the contact pictures were from sync sources, they say that the pictures we have associated with the contact should be on the devices and this problem should go away. Though it makes sense, at the same time it doesn't make any sense to me.
If we have contact sync's and the phone lets you replicate that kind of data from whats stored on other servers, why should I have a local copy of the pics for it to work?... can anyone help me confirm the local pics thing?
Thanks!

What do you use to sync your pictures? I use HaxSync. Not sure if everyone having issues is also using that or not. But either way, syncing photos is much more convenient than having to store individual photos for everyone on the device and it worked fine prior to the update so we shouldn't have to lose that ability. What's odd is how the photos are sometimes there and sometimes not. Maybe it has something to do with the linked accounts on those contacts? All of my contacts with photos have a Google contact and a HaxSync account linked together.

That's only for 4.1. 4.2 and above don't need it. I just tweaked something and my contacts photos seem to working so far. Not sure if it'll last but some of you may want to try it out.
In my contacts app, click up top left in the "Phonebook" dropdown. Unselect HaxSync and just leave Google checked. All of my contacts that are already linked are still showing their photos, and the issue in the messaging apps seems to be fixed (at least for the past 25 minutes).
Let me know if this helps anyone else.
My hypothesis is that those of us having issues with the blank contact photos in the messaging app have multiple items checked in the Phonebook dropdown.
EDIT: Nevermind.... the issue is back. I can't figure it out. It's gotta be a bug that needs to be patched.
Megabiteg: I have a few contacts that do not use Facebook so their pictures I take from things in my photo gallery. I have replaced them multiple times and it makes no difference. I think that was just the quick and easy "answer" from Tmo support.
Jpzsports: I tried your idea and only have Google checked in contacts app and I still have the issue. I am anxious to hear if this continues to work for you!
I have even gone so far to look at other apps that have permission to look at/modify contact information and disabling them or have them not interface with contacts and it has no effect.

That's interesting to hear that the issue still occurs even with photos from the gallery. That removes the idea that it's purely a synced photos problem.

Thanks a lot for the follow up. I agree, I know that Tmo-support was pulling a fast one, initially they actually suggested me to pull the battery of the phone out and replace... (lol)
I think that this issue is connected to a contacts database corruption, I've always notice the the contact phone sync (regardless of the source) its kind of flaky, it must of gotten worse while upgrading. Funny because I chose to delete all the txt msg I had prior to upgrading (because I read this thread before hand) hoping this would minimize my chance of getting the issue but no.... it didn't work.
I'm going to keep on trying to figure out what else can I do to make this better until Tmo and HTC decides to fix it.
I hope that these posts don't seem unnecessary but I want to post what I have tried so others don't feel the need. I was playing with the contacts app and suddenly under phonebooks available (upper left corner pulldown) the sim card showed up, where it had not prior and the three contacts listed where the 3 contacts Tmo uses for you to check minutes, balance, whatever ( I never use these) I know I did not put anything to the sim so I deleted these and unchecked sim....no difference. I now have gone back and added sim to phonebooks (tho empty) to see if any difference.
Megabiteg: I agree with you saying about a change in the contacts database and I specifically remember during the update a message saying something to the effect of "updating/reformating contacts database".
Just another text, no change, it appears it does not matter what phonebooks are/are not used; the problem still exists. I am reluctantly coming to the conclusion that this is something HTC will have to remedy.
Did I just post that I would try not to post as much? LOL My experience got me to wonder if maybe the system was going out and checking the sim phonebook first (I would guess most people do not use it) and not finding an image and then after some lag going to contacts? So: I shut the phone down, took out the sim, powered up and went into contacts app and sms app (everything there), powered down and replaced the sim and rebooted.
Well, absolutely no difference. I am all out of ideas other than waiting for a patch...damn.
Is it just me or does the missing photo seem to affect the most recent person you text? (top of the messaging app)
I have a theory that it is related to the Link Contact service. It doesnt seem to effect contacts who have photos on every linked account.
