[Q] Need Help with Contact Pics - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

So after searching for over 2 hours I am stuck! When I go to edit a contact and attempt to change the picture it defaults to a picture of my wife. I have tried using the Gallery and Root Explorer option to select and crop a pic. Once I have cropped the pic and select done, the pic changes to the one that I have for my wife.
I have tried Fixing Permissions, factory reset, cache, dalvik and still I cannot change the contact pic w/o it automatically changing to my wifes pic. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

My dad was having this problem on his gnex, a simple reboot should fix it

This has been a constant issue for many if not billions....
Use the app quick pic... In the play store... Use that to set contact pics... Profit!

[Q] Problem with my Messages

I have searched everywhere for this answer, but I thought it would be worth a shot asking here.
I have been trying for a month now to get this problem fixed and its on my last nerve. When I send or receive a message from my girlfriend, it pops up as two names instead of one. (refer to the attachment) The contact named "David" pops in front of her name every time. I have tried reinstalling and deleting or even re adding both people's contact. Nothing has worked and would absolutely LOVE some input on this. It happens with a few of my other contacts, but this one is the one I use all the time so you can understand my torment.
I cant go into the thread to send a message, because everything i send goes to both people obviously (very annoying)
I appreciate any help....BTW I use handcent for messaging

Isn't it weird.... i didn't have one problem with this on 2.1. When i wiped everything... including cache... for SkyRaider the first time thats when it started. I have had to wipe many times for SkyRaider ROM updates and every time i do, i still get this problem in some form.
It wouldn't be ROM related would it... or is it a Froyo thing? grr
This pic shows it a little better.

did someone mess with your phone and save your girls number under david lee as well? Also, did you text both of them in the same message? Can you confirm that david lee is not receiving your texts as well?

No one has messed with my phone at all. I just checked again and they are both totally separate. David Lee does not have Chelsea's in his contact numbers and Chelsea does not have Davids.
Yes if i actually send a message through that thread it will go to both of them. With my brother's contact, its worse. When the thread pops up for his it's not just two people, its like 9. The only way to ensure that she only receives my message is to go to her contact and select the "send message" button with her cell number.
Did you originally send both of them the same message?

No, I never send either of them the same message and originally I probably sent a message to Chelsea and that's what it looks like everytime instead of her name by itself.

As you tell from this picture, it doesn't really fix it. I deleted his contact...un synced Facebook....uninstalled and reinstalled handcent to arrive at what I have in that picture. How in the Hell the number still shows up even after the contact is gone is ridiculous...

Cm9 Mms with call motion

This Mms should have the call from messaging motion. I did not make or code this app. I made a cherry picked build and pulled this apk out to share. I'm not sure if it will work, but it should.
http://db.tt/KpssMp29
Installation:
Delete stock messaging app
push this app to your system/app folder and reboot.
Or you can flash this zip in recovery- thanks to Justin860

Yes you need to delete secmms first. I will add that to OP.
You will lose the lock screen notification.

App worked perfectly after I cycled the motion switch in the settings.
Thanks much
Is there anyway to add lock screen notification? Other than that, this messaging apk was awsome
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Followed instructions in OP
Are any permission changes needed?
It lags badly when i attempt to go into the app, i'll hit the icon on my home screen and it will hang for a good second before opening
It also will not let me click on any existing message thread once i receive a message until i go and "compose" a new message to someone in the list, then have to back out and it will work
I also noticed that once I send a mms when i go to compose just a text it will re-insert the picture i JUST sent
Any one else with these issues?
I'm going to run fix permissions from CWM and also maybe reset the MMS app data and delete pre-exsisting messages from before the change from stock to the modded cm9 one
**EDIT**
I cleared app data for the messages app
Fixed Permissions in CWM
Wiped Cache and Dalvik
Deleted all existing messages
It appears to be working now, so just a heads up for anyone with my issues, try what i did and it should clear up

OK after running this over night it is clear that this does NOT function the same way as the stock motion, here is what I mean
I was curious how the motion detected that you wanted to call the contact, the stock motion requires the phone to be taken from texting orientation to talk orientation AND detects when your close to your ear with proximity sensor, it will not work if you just cover the proximity sensor, it actually requires the motion too...
This modded "motion" enabled messaging app only looks for proximity, so if you move your hand over the sensor when typing in landscape mode it will try to call the person
In real world use, with the stock app I never accidentally dialed anyone
With this modded app, I have over 15 accidental calls just last night alone
Also, it will work weather or not you have the "motion" for it toggled in the motion settings

[Q] Can't send picture MMS issue

Hey guys, i hate to start a thread for this but i have looked around and tried a couple of things but I cannot seem to find why I can't send MMS pictures, although i am able to receive them. Running the latest CleanRom i tested on GO SMS and regular message app with only a loading but never sends.
I checked APN (see below) for Telus, Data turned on, tested some features in the messaging app's settings.
apn name=Telus SP
mcc=302
mnc=220
apn=sp.telus.com
user=null
server=null
password=null
proxy=74.49.0.18
port=80
mmsproxy=74.49.0.18
mmsport=80
mmsprotocol=null
mmsc=http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc
type=null
Any ideas would be gladly appreciated :highfive:
I only have experience with Handcent and when I have issues with mms I have to go to a setting in Handcent that makes it my default sms program for mms and sms before it functions properly. I have also had to uninstall and reinstall Handcent to get it to work right. I have not had any issues with cleanrom and Handcent yet, though
It must be a tweak somewhere because i did my friends with same ROM (although on Rogers) and it works flawlessly for him

Of I'm not mistaken I read some where about cleaning out your msg app. Because it brings over bad data. So that's what stop's it from working! I would try to go to app it self clear data. Reboot to recovery. Wipe both cache/dalvik cache. Reboot and c if you can send mms again. I was having a small issue like that b4. And clearing the old data out helped it. Just my 2 cents

Hmm didnt do the trick. Also made sure my advanced settings were set to auto retrieve MMS. No luck for sure its got to be around here somewhere

Gallery layout?

Hi everyone. I have searched for this but could not find it anywhere so need to ask. ... I have an issue with my gallery it displays photos on my device and on Google Picasa as default. I want to change it to photos on device only and have done so in the settings but it keeps reverting back every time you leave the gallery and go back in. Does anyone know how to change it permanently so that it only displays photos on device as default?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
You don't go to settings to do that.
Open the gallery, press the menu key on your phone and a menu will pop up. Select something like "Select Albums" and from there on you are on your own because I don't have my phone atm.
I went through this today. You have to shut off picasa sync under your google account in the settings menu. Then go to app managment and clear data for the gallery. The picasa stuff is cached so it wont disappear. I was pulling my hair out trying to get it to go away.

Slide show???

Ever since I flashed the prerooted stock rom from xda, my picture messages are both received & sent in slideshow format. My wifes s3 is untouched & does not do this. Her pics come in as a full screen picture & not as a slide show or video format. Is there a setting somewhere I am over looking? A line of code that can change this? Or should I try replacing the messaging apk?
Any help or suggestions are welcome

The only time I get slide show us when it's more than one picture Sent. If it's just one it come in normal. If it's a slide show just long press, hit save and they will go to your gallery where you can view them in their entirety and delete whichever one you don't want.

Yes I have been saving the pics to the memory card to be able to see them.
Mine always comes through as a slide show format even if it is only one picture.
It's pretty annoying......
I know this is not normal behavior, but cannot find a way to correct it......
If I flash a shock messaging apk in place of the existing one, do you think this might help?
The one I have should be stock but came with the stock/rooted rom I downloaded from xda.
What rom are you using? Maybe I can link you to some other sms apps you can try.
