Does anyone know why?? Contact pictures aren't showing up in the stock messaging app or any other messaging app.
Are they showing in the people app?

I figured it out. It was because he had contacts in the Phone and on the SIM. Once deleted from the SIM they showed up fine.

Is there an universal messaging app like blackberries have, where all ur txts, emails, and instant messages come to the same place? Something similar?

Yup.. Try Kik. Messenger. kik(dot)com
Kik doesn't do email and text in the inbox of the app..only kik messages
Whatsapp

Lol. Guys, it might be hard but it's worth actually reading what the OP wants before you blindly reply.
@OP: AFAIK, there is no unified or universal messaging solution on Android that supports IM,SMS etc..
Try pure messanger app. I get notified for everything with it and it has an awesome widget to.

^^Correct me if I am wrong, but that is not an App. It is just a widget.
Whatsapp can do that for you.

Try logging in and out in Facebook app and it should repopulate them.

Hey all,
I went back and re-watched the Google/Samsung announcement from October. The video specifically shows Matias as having a text (from the Messages app) from Andy Rubin and Andy's picture shows up there (like how it does for emails).
When I get a text message, I get the little box smiley face icon, and not the person's picture. Has anyone gotten a picture to show up there?
Yes

Yes you have a picture there? Did you have to do anything special? Are you syncing from Google+ or anything?

I am synching with google+, yes, but the contacts who I have pictures for in the messages app are not from google+; they are just normal contacts. I added pictures to the contacts manually.

Hi, I have same problem. When I got SMS I have only "SMS app logo" in notification bar. Can you please advise how to achieve photos there?
I don't have pics showing up either in notification. My contact, Google+, etc all have different pics for the person biti still only see the messaging app icon.

Weird how it is working for jstegeman. I'm getting my contact pics from my Google Contacts syncing. I would hate to have to attach all the pics manually from the phone just to get it to show in the Notifications!
Sorry, all, I just reread this. I'm not getting the picture in my notifications, but in the messaging app itself. I didn't notice the word "Notifications" in the thread title. Apologies for the wild goose chase.

Does anyone have the issue of not seeing the contact pictures in third party apps like whatsapp and Handcent SMS?
The pictures are fine in People App but they don't show in other apps.

I just noticed that if i choose an image other than the facebook picture, then it will show in applications

my missus has the one x and has the same problem. i resolved it by downloading "friendcaster" and that allowed the facebook pictures to show in handcent/go sms
Yeah i know but i wanted to see if im not the only one. I am using syncmypix to do the job but i was wondering what might be causing the issue :/

apparently an ICS problem, I get the problem on my GNEX too
Yeah or it could be the apps have compatibility isuues with ics. The pictures show fine in people and dialer.

All you need to do is download the app Photo Unlocker. Your Facebook Sense photos are restricted from being used in other apps, but this app unlocks them so they can be seen in all 3rd party apps.
Edit: I noticed this app isn't in the market anymore. I have a titanium backup of it, so if anyone tells me how to get the APK from there, I can post it here.

Just to confirm recent whatsapp has updated and does.pull through contact pictures inc Facebook
I still didnt get the update. Will keep you posted when I do to confirm!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Neither can i find any of the mentioned software, nor i received an update for whats app... Can you share the app mentioned on the previous page.
THanks.
Yeah i still havent got the whatsapp update. Heres the link for haxsync:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync&hl=en
Its the only app that worked for me cz i didnt wanna set up friend caster.
Talking about whatsapp does anyone else get the message "try again later" when sending a picture to someone?

ANy other fix on this then rather than using a 3rd party utility?
Not that i'm aware of!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yeah I have the same problem.
Whatsapp doesn't show contacts (facebook)profile pictures.
Running all the latest Market versions of Facebook, whatsapp en handheld SMS.
There are no more updates so far.
Still no profile pics in whatsapp contacts list.
Anyone has a solution by now?
And dortok, can u upload that app Photo Unlocker please?
Is it possible to do something with Facebook for HTC Sense app, like delete or whatever?? Maybe fixes it?
It says Facebook for HTC Sense version 4.0.2215172619.345324.334711
Or clicking info: Version 1.00.0101.62864
Anyone help us out???
The only solution i have found is to use HaxSync from google play! It works like a charm!
I dont like friend caster since it is an app like facebook so more traffic and more data usage. Haxsync just syncs the pics and you can specify how often.

Whe I am in the HTC sms messaging app, I mostly only see phone numbers only a few of my contacts are identified. How can I have the app recognise my contacts that are in my phone?
I found with the stock sms app my contacts would take a moment to load the names. Not sure why that is though. I use Go sms now.
