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.
Anyone with the same issue or a known fix?

Mod or Die

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.

Yes that's correct
The solutions i found is by using an app called HaxSync.

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!

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.

Hi folks,
Got the problem above, used to work fine but the notifications don't show anymore... Already logged out, uninstalled and installed updates, cleared cache and also tried the Blackberry workaround... Still no luck...
Any suggestions or ideas I can get the notifications work?
My girlfriend has got the same phone and hers is working fine..
Please advise

mine stopped too around juli 29th, my guess it's a server side issue, it happened before in the past.

Check that Google Talk connects to the Google Servers - you don't need to use it - but all push notifications will stop if Google Talk cannot connect to the Google Servers.

I removed the permissions on facebook (the website) for sense and deleted all data for all 3 friendstream apps, after a while I got one message, unfortunately it was the last messege I had already recieved. I really believe it's a serverside issue. I have seen this before, also with other 3rd party FB widget....

To rule out a push notification (C2DM) issue - you need another app that uses Push Notifications - like Twitter or something.
Got Twitter and that doesn't give any notifications either...
Do you think factory reset will help? Don't want to go through that do formatting, installing apps etc for nothing..

OK - so try the following:
Open Google Talk - Sign Out. Sign back in.
Check Android Settings > Accounts & Sync to see if there is a problem with the Sync service.
Check Auto Sync is switched on - and try toggling it off and back on.
Reboot the phone.
For info - I am getting Tweets and Facebook notifications fine here - so there is nothing wrong with either service.
Check the links above, you might receive some types of notifications but all, it's a confirmed server side error
Ah well guess I'm gonna need to wait till the next update is out...
What I don't understand how my girlfriends phone (which s exactly the same as mine) is working fine with all notifications

I don't know, really....if you check their bug tacker it could be all sorts of issue where messages made from certain apps don't trigger notifications, there are many different types of notifications, some migh work, some might not. I got using facebook via mobile apps (htc, samsung other 3rd party apps)since 2010 and it just happened a few times before and then after a while it will start working again.
If you want it working use the official facebook app, it usually keeps working until the problems are fixed. If you have cleared the data for friendstream and facebook, removed the right of the friendstream app and started over there is nothing more you can do
I am using the official facebook app (came with the phone) and never used friend stream or tweetdeck..
I have done a factory reset and also disabled friendstream but still no notification... Rage !!

This is crazy because my phone I receive notifications from Facebook app and the twitter app it didn't when I got the phone but I disabled all notifications in app and then enabled them
I started to get them I get message notifications and post notifications not had issue since
So this can't be just down to servers its like the phone is refusing them nothing much else I can suggest lol

Confirmed on stock official at&t ROM. If a video call is ended before the other person answers phone stops responding and has to be powered down. My Nexus 7 does not appear to have the same issue though so let's hope the update comes soon.

I hate this new app. It's sluggish, resource hungry and overall adds nothing to good old Gtalk.
I have rolled out the update and will never install it again.

Aye, me too. But I'm afraid soon Google will force us to migrate to it...just like "Google Settings" appeared in the app drawer without asking for it, Hangouts is gonna replace Talk. :-/

Hangouts has already replaced talk, and I personally think it's loads better, if only more people used it I would definitely consider it a possible whatsapp replacement.
I don't have any issues with the app as some of you have experienced. (xperia s with jb .197)
The real question is, what will happen to g+ messenger? As we now have 2 messaging apps from Google.

It has replaced it, yeah, but you can still use the old Gtalk if you want.
G+ messenger will be gone with the new G+ update.
I used google talk a lot for work, so was kind of worried about this change overall...as i don't use G+ for anything (nor fb for that matter), but also liked how google talk on my phone, and gmail's browser conversation thing sync'd easily...
as far as the android hangouts app, whatever...it works, didn't really care what it looked like...but i will say the chrome extension for hangouts is much better than how gmail integrated. I can now have any number of my work/home machines connected to hangouts without having gmail opened. Not sure if this is how G+ worked before, as I wasn't going to bother using that.
I'm still learning it...but also prefer how hangouts doesn't seem to be archived into gmail automatically...you can set it up to do that, but it doesn't just default to dumping a pointless 3 line conversation into 'all mail'...I know you were able to change all that with google talk, just didn't feel like messing with it.
So whatever in my case...its definitely not worse for me. The bigger problem still is, and always will be, the trends of what people use. I still get numerous fb messages a week despite it being obvious that i'm never on there...then border line threats for ignoring someone haha.
Hi,
This thing has been annoying me for quite some time. It appears that the phone doesnot ever sleep. But i do not notice much battery drain due to it.
Is it just a bug in this version of android or is it something that I should take care of? Has anyone else noticed this with their phones.
My android version is 4.1.2 and software version is F240L10t. My phone is korean version.

I think sns refers to social media like Facebook. If you're signed into a messenger like fb messenger or something similar, try opening the app and signing out. Otherwise the phone will not sleep as it is remaining available to receive messages from your fb friends. Just an idea, I don't have this wake lock.

Can't get reminders to notify, either in notification bar, LED or alert tone. They show up in Google Now after time expires but don't seem to interface with the device OS. Running pure stock, s-on. Any fix for this?

i would check your setting inside your settings for your notifications and make sure that reminders are set to ON. Don't know if you are, but try doing a reminder in the calendar app. Also, try different ways, like hourly, daily, specific times. See if any of that works.
All settings have been checked thoroughly. The problem is exclusively with Google Now. Others have also reported this problem with the HTC One and other devices. Just haven't seen any fixes or explanations for this issue yet.

Thanks. Keeping fingers crossed that 4.3 fixes this. I'd really like the functionality. May need to factory reset (PITA).

I've had issues from time to time with Google now. It will be streaky. Sometimes I can go about having a full week where it will remind me to leave for an appointment about 1-2 hours too late. Or sports scores are severely delayed. (1-2 days)
This has happened to me on a variety of devices. Nexus or not. And I do nothing to fix it. It just seems to fix itself. I figure it's just a weird glitch/bug in the server side with google.
Ok I change my earlier comment. It happened to me today. I never got a reminder I had set earlier

Basically, if you can't rely on every pre-set reminder to notify you, you can't rely on any reminders.

Yep. I no longer trust it. Doesn't really matter though since it is not working at all. I set reminders for 8 straight 1/2 hour time frames today and was not notified of any. Yes, all my settings are correct. I can see them in google now but nothing shows up otherwise.
OK. Problem is now, apparently, fixed. I uninstalled Google Calendar app and set up the built-in HTC calendar app to sync with my Google calendar. Also made sure notifications were on in settings. Took a while, for some reason, but now both time and location-based reminders are coming through for the first time: alarm, LED flashing and notification bar icon (finger with bow tied on it). Clearly, the problem was conflict between Google calendar (a somewhat better app in my opinion) and the one that comes with the device.

I assure you it had nothing to do with Google calendar app. Mine has not worked at all for a couple of days and I was testing it all day and night. All of a sudden it started working late this afternoon without me changing anything. This was on Googles end.
I think you are exactly right.
