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

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.

The facebook app does not load new messages on my phone... it still notifies me of new messages, notifications, news feed, and all others properly. But items in my inbox don't list updated items and when I open a thread it doesn't show the new message... it seems stuck... I tried to clear cache, and uninstall it the re-install it to no avail. Logged in and logged out, still the same...
Anyone encountered this or know a fix for it?? I'm using the updated app which is updated from the stock app... if uninstall the updated, it reverts to stock... And that's fine....
Help meeeee... Thanks

Does it come with with metatag information? Like in a black foreground error that disappears? I got that over and over again while being attached to wifi in the hospital. It even cleared out my messages on facebook from the error.
nope, didn't have any errors.... my messages when seen on the computer are fine. But, do not appear properly on the Facebook app.... new responses don't get updated and shown. I tried the manual update on the menu to no avail. So currently, I'm just using the mobile site instead, where I'm quite comfortable to use anyways. But would like if the app runs ok again.
My Contacts application is suddenly force closing every time I want to activate it. I think it is fc-ing after the new WhatsApp update. When I checked my contacts within Whatsapp, it suddenly fc-ed. And from now on it is fc-ing all the time.
Allready removed the app, data, (dalvik) cache. I even installed a new rom (which I wanted to do anyway ). But then again, after restoring everything with TBP: Force Close.
What do you guys suggest I can do? It is now becoming quite annoying.
Run fix permissions. That fixes a lot of FC

Already done that. Didn't help either.

Didn't you install app with contacts sync lately?
what about clearing data on contacts and people and then resync to grab them back?
Last thing I remember is that I've installed the new update from Whatsapp and that is when it crashed. I already did uninstall WhatsApp, but still a FC. Already wiped all my data from contacts. Seems like everything I tried, failed.
Also delete all data from Contacts.apk.
Okay finally I found the problem. Google+ and the contacts of the app seems to cause the force colsing. Uninstalled Google+ (since I'm not really using it) and everything works fine!

I've looked everywhere for the solution to this issue but I'm not getting anywhere.
I just did a full wipe and installed slimkat 9.0. Restored all of my apps using Titanium Backup, and all of the apps and their data restored flawlessly. Except Messenger, when I would restore the apps data and go to see a conversation, all of the conversations change order on the screen and it's as if the messages are all being deleted because it keeps on showing the preview for older conversations as the conversation order changes. Then I am left with no conversations whatsoever.
Any help would be appreciated
You mean the sms app? Make sure it's not set to delete messages after a certain limit per thread
I mean the messenger app, the one Google released not too long ago. You can't set the message limit

Do the messages show with another sms app?
I'm having this exact same problem on a Droid RAZR HD running CM11. The backup is from the same phone using stock Kitkat 4.4.2. Any help?

Wondering if anyone else encountered this problem. I am no longer able to reply to text messages via the Zenwatch. Cards are only being presented like regular cards with only the options to open the app on the phone or block it. This is now happening using the native message app and GoSMS. I've tried resetting the watch and everything. Anyone experience this and was able to fix it?

I had the same problem. I downloaded Google messenger and now everything works fine.

Does Messenger have to be your default app?
I believe so.
Recently i found that android messages could not send some photos. The error message was "Message not sent: too large." After doing some "analysis" I found the app was not resizing a photo so it would be small enough for transmission, ie, the photos were resized over 1 megabyte.
After some additional testing, it seemed the problem was happening with photos that had been edited by google photos. Unedited photos were resized properly and were sent without issue.
Next I "uninstalled" the app. This in fact only removes updates. The un-updated app was able to send photos that had been edited in google photos. I then updated the app and the problem returned.
Verizon message+ does not have this problem.
I sent feedback via the Messages app.
I'm running stock android 8.1 (OPM1.171019.013), unlocked pixel 2 xl (bought on google store), on Verizon

root cause?
having the same issue. did you ever figure out the root cause? tx
How did you back up your data? I only receive the error message about image sizes if the picture is taken in the app but if I go into my gallery and share it from there through Android messages, it works just fine.
