[Q] (Q) third party sms apps wont display contact pix? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I started running the ASOP ICS rom a few days ago, and while using go SMS pro, ii noticed that the little box to the left of the conversation was empty. But the picture display shows up in the stock messaging app? Hmm.. ive tried every third party app on the market, and none will display any of my synced google contact pictures, and wont display any fb info (numbers, pictures). Any suggestions as to how to fix this minor problem?

[Q]stock messaging app turns it notifications back on by itself

been using handcent for the past couple months. i know how to turn the notifications off of the stock sms app so that handcent would be the only messaging app that would give me notifications. recently the stock sms app has been shooting out the notifications so i turn them off but i keep getting the notifications from it. has anyone run into this problem??
Have you tried force closing the stock messaging app? Try that and if you can, clear the default, then go to your people/contact app and select "send text message" at that point, it should ask you which one you want to use by default, select handcent...and we'll see where it goes from there.
thanks but i just tried that and it changed nothing. one thing i noticed is when i force closed the messaging app it took me to the adw launcher. im using launcherpro plus as my default home. whenever i force close anything it takes me to adw. this happened to me last night after i downloaded some apps from the applanet app so i did a nandroid restore this morning to go back to a few days ago. again i went to the applanet market and downloaded a couple apps. im not sure if its the applanet itself or if its something i got off there that would change the messaging app settings

[Q] Gallery Issues?

Anyone having issues with their gallery when trying to access it to add a picture from within an app like sms or facebook etc..? When I do this it will only load the camera pictures but not the rest of my pictures in different albums. I have to hit cancel and start the process again and the second time they always show up. This only happens when trying to access them from within another app, if I just go straight into the gallery from the app drawer it will always show all pics.
Working fine for me.
It runs slow for me. I figure it is because I have a ton of pictures or I'm syncing my Facebook albums.

[Q] Lollipop: Contact Pictures in 3rd Party Apps Not Showing After Update

I use Textra as my SMS app. On 4.4.4 Kit Kat, my AT&T Note 4 displayed contact pics pulled from Facebook in Textra. Yesterday, I updated, then factory reset the phone, then reinstalled all of my apps. Now Textra will not show any contact pictures, just their initials. The pis do come up in the contacts app and the Messages app.
I know that there was an issue with 3rd party apps having difficulty using facebook photos. But I thought that was an old issue. On Kit Kat, with no root or extra apps, Textra worked fine on my Note 4.
Have I missed a setting somewhere?

There were some strange problems with contact pictures not syncing on the nexus 5 and 6 on 5.0.1. The 5.1 update fixed these.
Not sure if this is the same problem, but thought i'd mention.
I use Textra as well and my Facebook contact photos show up just fine. You might have to relink your contacts or sync again in the Facebook app
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
FIXED!
I uninstalled Textra; and then reinstalled it. It is now working perfectly with all of the contact pics now showing.
Last night, I set up FB after using Textra. So I guess that was the problem. Good to know in case anyone else runs in to the problem.

Dual Messenger (WhatsApp + Contact Storage) High Battery Drain

I have recently done a fresh reset to factory default on my phone, and then installed apps. After that I have a strange high battery usage that it seems related to the 2nd WhatsApp that I've installed using the Dual Messenger feature. The battery usage shows that the "contact storage" is using ~25% of battery life, but the dual messenger app also shows the same, screenshots are attached.
When I uninstall the second WhatsApp it seems the problem gets fixed.
Couldn't find any solution for that. Just one post that was related to outlook, but I am not using outlook. Do you have any idea? Thank you (Please don't offer the reset to the factory as a solution!)
I don't trust that app or use it.
If you don't need it, don't load it.
Otherwise you can play with it's settings/notifications and try to tone it down.
If it looks like/acts like bugware, it's bugware...
It's Samsung's native system app not a third party application, and i need to have 2 personal WhatsApp accounts

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Doesn't matter who's app it is.
A security risk too.
WhatsApp, Much prefer Telegram.

Question Bubbles not working at all

Hello. Since the day I got my phone i never actually managed to get bubbles working. Not with messenger, not with any other app. I have enabled every setting possible for it to work but it doesn't. All I get is a notification on top with a preview for the message and if I click it, it launches me directly into the full app. Anybody having same issues? I currently have miui 12.0.5.
You enable Messenger bubbles from Messenger app.
