[Q] Small contact pictures in call history - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I wonder if is possible to have in Call History tab, small contact pictures like on HTC Sense? From what I've seen on Z2 is showing only the contact names in call history.
Thanks!

Thank you for the information, I will wait for an application/mod

You might want to take a look at 3rd party apps like Call Log +.

Event stream engine.

What is the use of the event stream engine. And is it safe to remove it?

I remove it. Its for timescape, so if you dont use timescape you can safely remove all the event streams.
Thank you.

I remove all the event streams and everything works fine. Im almost 100% certain there timescape related.
Good news!
If you select a contact you can see the call and the SMS that you had with these contact?

Why wouldnt i just go into my sms to see the messages i had with a contact? It's more convenient and easier. The more SE crap off my phone the better.
I just dont see the use of going into a contact to see what messages or calls you made with them. Useless.
I think like you! But in the 2011 xperia lineup eventstream is for this,and maybe something for Timescape but I never used.

Rom with better messaging app.

I want a messaging app which shows previously used numbers in the send to list as soon as start typing first few numbers. Currently it only shows saved contacts not the unsaved numbers I sent the message earlier. I hope I'm making sense. This feature was available in htc android phones. It's quite important for me to have this feature.
Thanks in advance.
I think handcent can do the job. Download it from the market

i have tried handcent sms and go sms pro. none of them work. i think its a feature of ROM as handcent and go sms pro both worked the way i want in htc evo 3d.

Small gripes so far

So this is my first HTC phone and for the most part I am loving it. However, there are two things that I hate. For starters, on a Phone such as the Galaxy s4 or the iPhone, I am able to view who sent me a text on the lockscreen or who sent me a text even when the phone is secured. Now on the HTC m8, I dont get to see any of that. All I see is the number of notifications above the phone app or the messaging app. Also, I hate the fact that if I go into the texting app to view a few messages but not all of them, it will then clear the icon in the notification panel as well as the indicator above the app icon itself. It really makes it super easy to forget if I had any extra text or not.
Check settings lock screen, the m7 had a lockscreen view that showed texts. Haven't got my m8 yet to see if it's still there.

Try using google handouts instead of the standard texting app
You can view text messages on the lock screen. You have to enable it in the settings.

Go to Settings, then Security and click notification settings under lockscreen. I am using Sense 6.0 on the M7 but it should be the same. I actually liked the way this was handled on Sense 5.5 better than 6.
my g/f got the m8 for vzw.. my only problem which is stupid .. i would like to view screen on time.. with out the use of an app .. nit picking? yes

Message schedule

Hi all, just a quick one.
I was wondering if there is exposed app for adding message scheduling to the standard app.
I've installed custom roms in the past and it has been a feature. I don't want to flash a room for 1 thing lol.
Also I've looked at the stores apps and they don't add functionality to your default message app but through a different app all together.
I how in not waffling lol and hopefully this makes sense.
Thanks

Stock messaging app

Hey guy, am I losing any functionality or touchwiz integration if I use a third party messaging app over the stock one?

Nope...
If you have a Gear 2 or Gear S watch you won't be able to view or send sms from it.
Nah the only thing you're losing is stupid amounts of lag.. how this app can take a good few seconds to be usable is beyond a joke.
HelloSMS for me thanks.
Lol thanks guys, I haven't had a samsung since the s2, I just want to make sure..and no gear for so I'm good there.

What's the most customizable sms app, ive been tooling wth textra, liking chomp, tried qksms. Love being able to have different ringtones for different contacts, bubbles, etc. Ty for any input
Evolve is pretty good, lots of themes. Very clean look, fast, smooth.
I use evolvesms as well. The only thing I seem to have lost over the stock messaging app is MMS over wifi. I definitely loved that but I hate the stock messaging app more.
I stick to Hangouts. Simple and clean.
Not as many UI and ringtone features as other apps, but works well with my moto360 so can't complain.
Thanks all appreciate the advise

You can have individual tones with stock messaging app as well

I hated the stock SMS on all the other Note versions, but the current one on Note 4 is great after some settings.
Love the favorite contacts.
Used go sms, but think this stock one is good enough now.

Guys I need to plug my favourite SMS app ... one from an XDA dev @matt_stang
