Not sure what I did to cause this, but as of last night (didnt install anything..was just playing around with the phone) my contacts in SMS do not have their default icon which is typically their image from FB.
Any idea how to correct this?
I downloaded chompSMS this morning, and verified the contact images are pulling through correctly there...its the stock SMS app thats not rendering contact icons accordingly.
Thanks.
Running Fresh 1.0.1
Try to re-sync your fb account and once is syncs reboot. Sometimes it takes time for pics to display for contacts. Its happen to me where I see fb pic on people app and not in sms app but after a while fb pics show up everywhere.
Thanks for the input.
Just tried that and unfortunately that did not work.
Any other suggestions ?
What good is a smart phone if it can't walk and chew gum at the same time?
Sometimes my contact pic wont show up sometimes... Weird
Bumping this because I still can't seem to fix this. Flashed back to DC and same issue.
Deleted Chomp sms and no difference.
Anyone?

yea im having the same problem. some contacts show in sms no poblem but most just show the silhouette. also under contacts some show the correct updated facebook picture while others seem to be ones they had months ago and it wont update to the new one.
i did search online earlier and from what i can see is that its pretty widespread throughout android systems like hero, evo, etc... blah i want a fix
My DZ just lost all my stored SMS/MMS messages.
Got a new msg this morning but I couldn't view it in the standard SMS app, in fact there were no old messages displayed. I could see it in the widget view but it was the only msg there.
Deleted it and now I have no old messages.
Has anyone else seen this problem?
I'm running the stock ROM in my UK SIM free DZ.
Regards,
Richard
Weird, someone else had the same problem earlier today.

How do you do that? Cut and paste or is there an app to do it?

Thanks. That's a really useful app.

The same happened to me last night. The sms app crashed first and when i opened it again all was gone.
I'm now running the 'SMS Backup & Restore' app to autobackup since backing up to Gmail isn't able to restore your sms back to your phone.
Something similar happened to me. All of the contacts on my sim card disappeared. I had to send them to my z using bluetooth from my old phone...
But my messages remained intact

It just happened to me, one hour ago all were there, but now .. empty list ..
That's very strange..
Happened to me once last month. Luckily I use SMS Backup+ to backup my SMSes to gmail. Interestingly, the messages are also gone from htcsense.com, which is supposed to back it up to the HTC cloud.
Seems like it's a known problem but HTC doesn't know how to fix it yet.
Happened to me yesterday also...
I suspect it's htc sense synching with the website, loosing all the data!?

That's a good suggestion, I wonder if that's what it is ?
Hello,
It happend to me last week. All my SMS are gone, but I'm not synching my SMS with the HTC Sense website.
Is that a HTC Sense problem or a general android problem?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
one thing yall havnt noted is that how many text messages did yall have before it all got erased? On my g2, ive had around 6000 messages before it erases everything, then i just restore my backed up messages. But it is still messed up that it clears
Had the same problem, with over 1500 msgs sth went wrong and all the txts were gone ...
now got problems with flashing camera but will tell about it in different thread.
I had this happen to me once about a month ago.
I can't remember exactly how many messages I had, but it was no more than 200-300.
It occured while I was running CM6 RC3. Have not been able to reproduce the issue since...
Interessting, so when it happend with CM6 its probably not a HTC Sense issue.
I lost something about 1100 SMS with plain HTC Sense 1.72. I was receiving an SMS and I saw the message text in the notification bar. When I draged the notification bar down all SMS were gone.

If it happened with CM6 it's probably a different issue though, since CM uses a different SMS app anyway.

Just happened to me as well. DZ and I updated with the OTA the day it came out. very weird. I don't think I lost anything important, but this is very annoying.
Use SMSBackup+. Works insanely easy and it saved my texts when I moved to CM7. Interestingly enough, the next morning all my texts were gone, restored the backup again and haven't had a problem since. Good thing is it will back up each message right after you get it if you want it to.
I have recently switched from AOSP back to a Sense rom and I'm loving it once again, however I have what I can only describe as a dumb question. I cannot seem to figure out how to turn off the facebook notifications within Friendstream. Every time someone posts on my wall I get a text message, and its driving me nuts. I want to turn this off and have looked everywhere I can think of to no avail. I still want to get the status updates, but in the friendstream widget, not via text. Anyone know how to do this. Otherwise I'm going to have to use regular facebook, and hope it doesn't do the same.
you have to log into facebook on a pc to turn off text messages notifications. its under account settings then notifications on the left then you have to edit each individual setting under all notifications.
Well I guess thats why I couldn't find a setting for it on the phone. Thanks for the reply, I would have never found that.
My new galaxy nexus should be arriving soon but I was wondering if the following problem has been fixed. HTML formatted email, in my current ICS running device, do not show up correctly in the native email client(not the gmail app as I have to use exchange for my work). I always have to scroll to the right and down to view the whole thing. Is there an option to fit the entire email to the screen similar to how the ios mail app handles it? Thanks!
anyone?
Nope, not fixed. Stock 4.0.4 Nexus here, unrooted.
Still have to scroll to the right for some emails and yes, very annoying! This goes for gmail and the stock mail app.
The same applies for CM9 you would have to scroll down and right to centre page your mail, then again, I'm glad there's no lag in doing so unless your 3G takes an era to load.
Thanks folks! Any reason for why this is so difficult of an issue for google to fix. i used to have an old froyo device and thought this would have been fixed by now but guess not.
It auto-updated last night.
I wasn't able to sign-in until I enabled Yahoo in my sync settings. Previously it worked just fine without being synced.
Now it no longer pushes emails to my phone and doesn't display notifications. Even with sync enabled.
The only way to check mail is to enter the app and manually refresh the inbox.
Anyone else having these issues?
I need this email for work, I have already been late responding to a few emails this morning.
I also noticed that it doesn't push the emails to my phone in real time like GMail does. I get the notification after awhile. I am going to try and find the old apk file. Not sure what the issue is.
hey guys i updated mine too and now push notification is not wrking. can you please share it if you found a working one?thanks
Naw. 2.0.3 hasn't restored the notifications for me yet. I'm running JB as well on my SGS3. The only thing I take comfort in is I got rid of the disgusting purple theme Yahoo put into the new mail app version. Took me a week of work, but I got everything changed to blue and/or neutral gray.
It really bothers me without the push nptofication finally found the old version and now its working again
