The facebook pictures for my contacts used to show up on the stock messaging app, but after restoring a nandroid it doesn't anymore. This is also the case with other messaging apps, so I don't think it's related to the app.
Is there any way I can make messaging apps show contact pictures again? (the contact pictures are still there btw - checked the dialer)
Have you checked if your FB account is still linked and set to sync? If yes, try removing & re-adding it. If all else fails, try linking contacts manually.
I'm not sure about the stock app, but is there a part in the menu that you need to tick to show contact pics?
You could also check your accounts and make sure that the facebook sync is turned on etc. I'm just throwing ideas out by the way, I'm not really sure lol.

Ah, I didn't try the obvious one. The account was still linked and was set to sync, but I deleted and re-added my facebook account and now it's working.
Thanks for the help guys . I should have tried this before posting a new thread here, my bad!

Apology accepted.
Glad we could help!
Thanks
I thought this was going to be a more serious problem but all I had to do was re add my facebook account thanks for the help!
thank you so much. I was searching for a while, but turns out to be a simple fix.
i had the same problem and i have managed to fix it by this way, thanks.
however i have another similar issue which i couldn't fix until now. even if sender's facebook or profile picture seems, my own picture doesn't seem at the conversation.
is there anyone who managed to overcome this problem??
I'm having this "odd" problem too.. however I do have facebook sync-ed (similar to leventmann i guess)
The problem appears to be that the messaging app thinks the contact comes from the SIM (thus lack of profile pics).
Short of deleting the contact form SIM, i've managed to 'trick' the phone into using the facebook/google contact by fiddling around with area codes.
However, whenever I have the contact pic, I then get this "ugly" extra (M <mobile numb>) appended to the name:
ie.
John Doe (M 1234567890): blah blah blah
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Which I guess is 'ok', but it just takes up so much space in the message itself (even more so with the new Sense 3.0 messages having an iPhone-like look with messages being left/right speech bubbles)
At first I thought it was because the contact had 2 mobiles associated with the account, so removed (unlinked) one of the mobiles, but problem still exists.
Any ideas on how to keep the contact pic but remove (M xxxxx) ?
Also, is there a way to get the original htc messaging style back? (Sort of like the one you see if you go to "Persons -> <contact> -> Messages"; a basic list of the messages where sender/recipient avatars are on the left...)
I've got a bunch of my contacts "linked" to their FB accounts, but for some reason their pics are all pixelated, I'm currently using RCMix's ROM.
When I was using SGBS ROM the pics weren't all pixelated.. anyone else have this problem?
I don't think it's specific to the ROMs mind you.
hmm, no dno't have problems with pixulated FB pics, when I do manage to get the to display they display fine.
Small update...I've noticed something that may be part of the cause of my problems... in the "People" application the SIM numbers/contacts are not shown (I chose to not view them). However, when I open 'Phone' (to dial someone) I see the SIM numbers/contacts!!!
I vaguely remember seeing this in another thread (shall go digging for it later) but wondering if anyone reading this thread knows how to fix it?
Thanks!

I have changed my ROM from Starburst Froyo to Cool VisionS and i can see my own profile picture now after creating a Google profile with picture.
However now i have this problem above. Pictures are pixelated and i am not sure if it is because of ROM. Another suspicious point is : Before i had "Facebook for HTC Sense" in the settings for syncronization but now in this ROM i have only "Facebook" to syncronize. Do you think it can be related to one of these reasons?
Yes, i found the solution for pixelation problem (at least for my situation)
When i tried to add account for syncronization (under settings - accounts&syncronization) i noticed that there is also "Facebook for HTC Sense" which requires another login process.
Use this account for syncronization and remove simply "Facebook".
It fixed pixelation problem
That did indeed fix the pixelated picture problem for me as well.
The pictures for my contacts in the messaging app are missing though, aside from the few that I have setup to use a picture on my SD card.
have you ever done "fix permissions" from CWM?
permissions's related problem.

I have exactly same problem. Any ideas how to fix this?
I've tried to save my own number to contacts and linked it to my own facebook, but the pic just wont show up? I'm using CM-3.7 rom.
I am experiencing the same issue under stock 2.3.3, from time to time (in a SMS thread, my contact's picture is shown as default). The only solution i've found for this is to open my contact's details and re-add my custom picture.
I can't even find my own contact profile from the phone? Is this someting to do with CM-3.7 ROM or am I just blind? In the stock ROM, it was first at the contactbook, but after I installed the ROM I haven't seen it anymore.

Already tried it about 5 times with no luck. I read elsewhere that it's a FB server issue.
Mine worked before I rooted, installed CM6 and then reverted back to stock 1.47 rooted image.
good to know. i spent HOURS trying to figure it out. now i have to reroot my phone becaue i unrooted trying to fix this ****.
I've been having issues with it all day and I'm on an unrooted rom. I deleted my facebook several times and even data wiped my phone trying to get it to work, all with no avail.
I have been going crazy about this also, trying numerous methods I found on Google. None of which worked. The weird part is it pulls my profile info from facebook, but nothing else, is that the same issue you all are having also?
It's definitely an issue on FB side (FB servers). Guys on Crackberry.com are having the same issues. It's not android specific.

Hi there.
When I go into messages app and make a new message I select contact but then the program drops the area code.
However if I go into the people app then select a contact, press the message button then the sms message will go through because it doesn't drop the area code..
So it is sort of annoying that I have to start messages that way. Anyone else have this?
I am running 4.1.1
Thanks

I have had the same problem for a while now as well. The most convenient solution in my opinion is to edit the contacts by deleting the parenthesis from the number. I realize this can be tedious but at least its a one time fix instead of starting a conversation through the people app every time. I have been editing the contacts on my Gmail on my computer for convenience and then syncing to my phone. Or just keep using your phone like normal and whenever you run into a problem, just go to the contact page real quick and fix it.
I haven't tried the previously proposed solution of performing a factory reset and re-downloading contacts from the google account. I prefer my method since performing a factory reset would be very inconvenient for me.
Does anyone came up with the solution. Been experiencing the same problem also.
I get this error message whenever i try to send a multimedia message. I've been able to send picture messages fine since i got this phone, but now i get this every time i try to send one. just started a few days ago.
I use go SMS pro. but i have tried the stock messenger app too and get the same error.
any idea how to delete just the unsent messages? or any other way to fix this?

Are you running stock or or a custom ROM?
Sent from my SGSIII with the XDA Premium App
stock, but rooted.
What does the exact message say when you try to send it?
Have you called your phone network yet to see if its a problem on their end?
Sent from my SGSIII with the XDA Premium App
edit: just tried to send one again to check the message, the exact error message i get is: "Can't send message right now. There are too many unsent multimedia messages"
I called AT&T and they said they didnt know, everything looks fine and for me to call tech support.
but i have never had luck with any cell phone tech support, so decided to come here first.

Idk she said she deleted all conversations and tryed sending again with the same results. I got it to work the other day by forwarding the Kmart then deleting the one that wasn't sending, worked for a couple days then started with the error msg again.
She's on straight talk, running wicked sensations rom. It will be a few days till I see her and have 5he chance to try to figure out what's going on.

Has she tried a different MMS app ?
I had an issue with sending an MMS the other day, didn't get an error message though just wouldn't send. It turned out to be adblock plus. So if she has an adblocker on her phone try deleting it and restarting the phone.

I'll assume you aren't married and haven't learned how to smile and nood lol
There's got to be a way to make it look pink haha.
One possibility is to remove the secmms.apk reboot and then pull it from the zip and push it to system again, fix permissions, wipe cache, reboot. Maybe that will clear any lingering issues.

Need a little over a year and so is it right for me to I suppose people who get this error just can't send mms anymore, unless reverting with Odin to a completely stock ROM? Haha
Here's what worked for me. Have a Xiomi Redmi Note 3 Pro running latest MIUI developer ROM 7.3.23 and Android 6.0.1 on Rogers network in Canada
Couldnt figure out why I was getting this message only on this phone. My other phones with same SIM card had no issues (Sony Xperia Z Ultra, HTC M8).
Was about to do a factory reset when I came upon an old post. I
1) download the app "History Eraser" from the Play Store
2) open the app and make sure "clear all apps cache" box is CHECKED
3) next, scroll down SMS/MMS section and check boxes "SMS/MMS Draft" and "Failed SMS/MMS"
should delete any messages/other stuff you don't need and is clogging up your system.
Am able to send pics once more using the Xiomi. Good luck!
yep that was the fix for me.
Btw, 3rd party apps wont work on my Xiaomi phone to replace the existing messaging app for SMS and MMS. When I used Facebook messenger I could not send MMS and when I reverted back to the xiaomi messaging app all those attempted to send MMS in facebook messenger were put into the messaging app and I had to go through all my contacts and delete the MMS as they said 'Sending'. Once I removed all the MMS that had not sent it then worked properly again. What a PITA! if your messages aren't that important just delete every chat in your messaging app also works.
Saved me!

I too was about to do a factory reset on my Mate 9....when I stumbled on your text. Apparently the default SMS/MMS program "sees" failed sends in all other messaging apps (Skype? Viber" Google Voice) because I had ZERO failed messages in the default program. HISTORY ERASER stopped me from pulling the last remaining hairs on my head. Thanks.
Hello,
Just started happening about 4 days ago, this message will pop up when im actually using the cell like internet, etc. ive googled and seen the threads on here with pple using rooted or mod and also not specific to my phone. My phone is Mobilicity and I havent changed it, its all stock; and 6 days ago i reset to factory default. I dont mind doing another reset but its quite annoying like when scrolling through and it stops, i have to wait 5 seconds for the message "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped", and click OK; then a few minutes later it does the same thing.
I also have that message bug, says i have messages when i clearly dont.
For your consideration,
