Android Pie and Android Messages Missing Profile Pictures on Notifications - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

On Android Pie with Pixel 2 XL... just did a full factory reset as well. On Android Messages when I get a text message, the notification for it both on top of screen along with on the lockscreen does not show the profile picture for the individual that sent the message. If I go into the Android Messages app, all profile pictures show up fine. Anybody else have this problem?

On my Pie 2XL the other profile pictures show, but my picture is just a silhouette.

Are you only talking about within the Android Messages App? I am referring to when a new text message comes in and either in the notification area when you pull down the notification bar or if you are on the lockscreen and can see the new text message there. In both of these areas, the senders profile picture is just a Letter instead of their picture.... but if i go into Android Messages app and view the thread, all profile pictures are shown with no issues.

Mine is doing the same thing. I have not factory reset it though as I can live without the profile pics coming up in the notifications. Hopefully it'll get fixed with a messages app update.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about - the notification bar shows the Other Person's profile picture, but not mine.

Same problem here. Quite annoying. My OCD is going to get triggered with this.

Lol same here. My OCD is what triggered this post. I had issue on dp5..took ota to stable pie and still have. Already did a factory reset with no luck. Issue also happens if I use Pulse for sms so it's not specific to Android messages. Seems to be Pie bug...or maybe something with contacts app? Also my wife with original pixel has it as well after Pie ota..and buddy with Pixel 2 XL has too... Cannot figure this out. Also seems others do not have this issue which baffles me. Any help to figure this out would be amazing!

No update for me yet. Maybe I'll sideload it. Thanks for the heads up.

Sideloaded a newer messages app, profile pic from received messages has their profile pic but not on the ones I sent. It's just a big Y, for you. Does it work on yours?

I'm not having any issues now with profile pics .. notifications..lockscreen..and within app all show pics for everybody. You using Android messages? And you sideloaded the same version as me?
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Yeah, I'm using Android messages 3.4.048. Maybe I'll do a clean install of Android 9.

How are you guys even setting your profile picture? All I get is a silohoutte person image and it is annoying the snot out of me.

Open contacts, then go into settings. You should see "your info".

Didn't this used to link with Google+ / your Google account?

Thanks for the reply! I set my own profile pic, updated to the latest messaging app, but still only see silhouette icon for when I reply to messages. Super annoying... Can anyone else verify if they are still having this issue?

remove "group messaging" warning?

Is there a way to remove this warning about "group conversations being sent as multimedia messages'? Like, i get it, you don't need to warn me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I use group conversations frequently. In fact, I'd say half of my text conversations are part of groups. I've had the phone for a little while now. I think its safe to say that I don't need this little pop up anymore. is there anyway to remove it completely?
THANKS!

Go to your settings in the message app and click on Multimedia messages. Take a screenshot of the configuration in that and show it here.

Yours is showing the same configuration as mine. Did you change anything in settings at all?
I use Hangouts and I haven't seen any group conversation issues.
Let me try stock messages and see if I get some issues.
Edit: just tested group messaging to 4 people and did not get a pop-up at all.
Are you with AT&T carrier? Did you change any settings relating to texting or MMS? Can you try Hangouts and send a group message and see if anything pops up?
Yeah, I'm with ATT. Didn't change any settings. I just got the phone about a week ago.
Will try Hangouts ...
Note 4
Mine does the exact same. I only like samsung messages over hangouts because you can send diff types of things. Hangouts only let's you send pic and location

Are you also with AT&T? Where did you get the Samsung message app? Have you tested Hangouts to see if the problem persist there too?
The reason I ask to try Hangouts is because it's a different app and it would allow me to know if the same problem persist on that app too. If it does then we can try other solutions to fix the problem.

I'm on att and other apps don't do it. Samsung messages is the stock messaging app built into the note 4
One more thing before we try these solutions...
Are you both on 5.0.1 Lollipop or 4.4.4 Kitkat?
What version of Messages are you both on? Mine says version 1.0.0.
Here's some solutions...
1st solution:
In Messages app go to settings and click on the 3 dots at the top right corner of the app. You'll see Restore default settings. Click that and then exit the app. Go back in and try to see if that popup persist.
If it does persist then let's try this...
You have a choice of losing all your conversations or not. If you don't care about losing it then skip the backup steps.
2nd solution:
Go to the Play Store and download an app called My Backup. There is a Pro version if you want to buy it. I have the Pro version and have used it for 3 years now.
In My Backup click New Backup. Then click Data. Then click Local. Check the boxes for SMS and MMS then click Ok. Then you'll see another box asking if you want to rename the backup. You can rename it or use what it has shown as the date of the backup. Click ok. This will save all your conversations.
Once it is done go to the phones Settings. Click on the Application tab then click on Application manager. Swipe to ALL. Scroll down to Messages. Clear the cache and data and then Force Stop the app.
Exit out of the settings and open up Messages app. Make it your default app then do a group text test. See if the problem persist again or not. If it doesn't then great. You can go back to My Backup app and click on My Backups. Click on Data. Then Local and restore your conversations.
If the problem persist then report back and we'll try something else.
I am on stock 4.4.4 Kitkat. The messaging app is the stock "Messages" that comes on the phone. It shows Version 4.4.4-N910, which is the same code for the Samsung Note4.
When i go into the Message app, click on the settings 3-dots, are restore to default, i STILL get that little popup. It remains. I have even rebooted the phone, and it remains. using Hangouts does NOT have any popup warning.

I didn't have this problem on 4.4.4. I'm on 5.0.1 for a bit checking stuff out. Try my method in the last post to see if that clears it up or not.

GMail Notifications broken?

Just wondering if anyone has been noticing an issue with receiving emails promptly from GMail. I don't receive notifications from gmail even though I checked the notification settings and its also configured for push email.
I'm using the Verizon edition of the Pixel XL. Thoughts on this?
+1
I get notifications for most Gmails from different accounts but definitely not for all incoming mails. No logic behind that by now.

It seems to me that The Pixel is not good in the notification department. Is not good with notifications of two paid emails apps, Aqua Mail and [email protected] Mail Pro. Its no good with notifications at paid SMS apps like Yaata. So I uninstall the majority of my paid apps and now use Google Messenger app, not my favorite SMS but with Yaata the coming messages looks weird ( check out the screenshot ). The Gmail app, as you said, no good with notifications. I'm using it and constantly opening it to check out my emails. I think that my Pixel XL is not friendly with third parties apps no matter if you bought them at Google Play Store.

Mine are really delayed.... they come... but a long time after they are actually there.
They also need to add the ability to set time and day restrictions to email notifications by account. For instance, I only want personal (gmail)email notifications from this day to that day and only during those hours. But my work Outlook Exchange email, I want notified immediately M-F 8-5 and keep them silent on weekends. Then I want all email notifications off at night between certain hours, and I can't use a do not disturb global feature because I need to receive important texts or calls.

Sorry , I forgot to upload the screenshot of a received text message using Yaata SMS paid version. It's my favorite SMS paid app but not works at my Pixel XL. Who said that Google Android is an inclusive Platform ?

DP3 UX Operation/Visual Differences

So far I've noticed the following. Note this list doesn't include obvious things like "the recent menu now has a clear all". Also I have put this here because I suspect some of the topics will be "where did x go"? Moderators, feel free to move this to the discussion forum if you want.
1. Unfortunately Google has severely toned down or else removed many of the navigation-related animations that were present in DP2. I loved them...
2. The color mode preview image in settings is now a hummingbird instead of simply a drab background.
3. The AOD now has the At A Glance weather image tacked onto the date portion. This includes color, as my display currently has a yellow sun mark.
4. Using gesture navigation, it is now much easier to actually call up the recent list: it kind of pops in place now, aided by haptic feedback that some on Reddit are already complaining about.
5. The "separation icon" that replaced the mini arrow above the homescreen's docked apps is now gone entirely.
6. Haptic feedback overall feels much stronger than before.
7. Some language-translation things have been fixed, yet new ones have appeared. For reference I have my phone set to Japanese and the "Support" tab in Settings is now listed in English whereas before the title was in Japanese, and the gesture navigation setting is now titled in Japanese whereas before it was in English.
8. The OS version is now listed as 9, instead of P.
9. The Sharing menu setting now includes a tab of "previously paired" devices.
10. The home screen now requires manual setting to allow rotation when auto-rotate isn't enabled.
11. The native scaling seems to have been adjusted (or broken) as the navigation bar-based clock seems to either be smaller than before, or else glitch between large and smaller.
Anyone know how to get rid of this? The squashed notification when the quick settings is fully expanded?

I don't want to clear it. I want to interact with it. Sometimes it's hard to reach a notification so I use a gesture to expand the quick settings tile further so I can hit reply or Mark as read.

Since most of the users did, it dissapeared. For me it was there for the whole Beta 1 stage, earlier I didn't pay attention to it.
Now Playing now works consistentlly, when you double tap on the song, it takes you to Asistant directly with more info displayed.

Gboard on Android P DP builds - synch learned words missing

I'm not sure which build it started in (I think it was there in DP2) but in DP3 and now also DP4 with my P2XL I don't have the option available to me in Gboard settings to synch learned words. I have the same version of Gboard installed on my OP3T running OOS 5.0.3 and the option is there. Is this consistent with other users or do I have a problem with my device? I don't know if it's psychosomatic or not but it seems like the suggestions surfaced by Gboard are of less value on my P2XL than they are on my OP3T and I'd like to attribute this to the fact that I can't synch learned words. TIA everyone.

It's just not there. I have the settings page for the Dictionary but the part about syncing with my gmail account is completely missing.
So yesterday I opted out of the Android P beta program, installed the rollback OTA via the automated tool and set up my phone from scratch. The option to sync my Gboard dictionary with my Gmail account is still just not there. Maybe I should call Google support now that my phone is running Oreo again.
Just upgraded to Pie and issue is still prevalent. I'm on Gboard beta and I tried uninstalling and trying different apks to no avail. This is very frustrating as typing sucks as all my synced shortcuts are not there
Has anyone reported that to Google? I have seen this on a few AOSP Roms that this Option is completely missing. Most people wont even notice but it just sucks to not have the words you saved before.

I tried while still in the beta program and support wouldn't talk to me. I've gotten the official OTA and have since done a factory reset and the problem is still here for me, now I can hit up Pixel support again now that I am not running a beta OS.

When I get the time I will try to update to P and report back. Maybe it's somehow Account related. They had that problem a few times with GPhotos I remember, that some things just wouldn't work for certain people.

I think I agree, this may be an account issue. I just set up my old OPO with LineageOS 15.1 and I have the same problem there. I wonder what Google can even do about this? I hope I don't have to make a new account to get this functionality back.
I don't think so. The biggest problem will be to bring it to their attention to actively keep them looking into this matter.
As a sidenote, I just Dirty flashed Pie on top of Oreo and still have the Option. I hope the get this fixed for you guys :/
Looks like this version of Gboard brings this option back as per this thread .
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/google-gboard-issue-t3797307
This is indeed a lazy oversight on Googles Part. I remember the same thing happened with Google Photos. Remember the Option to have a floating Bubble on the Screen when you had taken a Photo with the GCamera? That was missing somehow after updating the App, going back to an older APK, activating the option and then update the App would make the option stick.
After official Pie was released, I still have the option just fine. [emoji53]

Question Google Messages

Hey all,
I got my Fold4 a little over a week ago. The version of Google Messages on my Fold3 has a few additional features that are missing on the Fold4. The feature with which I'm primarily concerned is the reminder function. On the Fold3 I can long press on any individual message within a conversation and a little clock appears up at the top of the app. Tapping on the clock gives me the option to schedule a reminder to respond to the message. There is no such feature available on the version of the app installed on the Fold4. Anyone else missing this? I want it back.
I could be wrong, but I think this was a Samsung Messenger feature and not Google Messages. I just tried it on my S22 Ultra and Fold 4, neither worked in in google, but the long press both worked in the Samsung app.

I'm looking at both phones right now. I appreciate the input but, yes, you're wrong.

Copy that! In all fairness, I wasn't aware that this was a feature until tonight lol. Kinda disappointed I can't get the extra features in google too.
I'm pretty sure I've figured out the explanation now, but it still doesn't make good sense. The version installed on my Fold3 is "messages.android_20220822_05_RC00.phone.openbeta_dynamic" whereas the version installed on my Fold4 is "messages.android_20220822_05_RC00.phone_samsung_dynamic." The menu icon has changed from the Google Account Profile icon to the typical 3 dot button. When using Messages with the phone closed (just the front cover display), the conversations are shifted down lower on the Fold4's version, making it easier to reach the top conversation without using two hands. And there are a few other minor but convenient feature changes. But none of these changes should necessitate the removal of reminders. Screenshot of the reminder button on my Fold3 is attached.

I've also noticed the fold4 specific changes. I hate the new wasted space on the contact menu. I wonder if we can install the Fold3 apk on the fold 4.

I tried and was unsuccessful. I'm sure the Samsung-specific version of the app will be updated and fixed fairly quickly. Not sure what your talking about with respect to the contact menu. What the heck is the "contact menu?" If you're simply referring to the message list on the cover screen, I think the design/layout update makes sense. I can now reach the top conversation with my thumb when using a single hand.
Yes i'm referring to the messages list. I think It is a terrible design choice to force people to only be able to see 6 text messages at start. This should be a checkbox option.
I've hadn't have any issues sending timed messages. I know in the Google Messages version, after typing out your message, press and hold down on the send arrow and it lets you set a specific time to actually send the message.

That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about setting reminders for individual messages within a conversation. You're talking about scheduling messages to be sent automatically at a later time.

I disagree. It's a much better design. You can easily scroll down if you want to see more conversations.

My apologies. I misunderstood. The closest thing I could find to what you are looking for is in relation to the app itself and not individual messages within the conversation....

Take a look at the screenshots I shared earlier in this thread
Uninstall the app and download the Google beta version from app mirror. Done and dusted.

It has to be removed via ADB, as it's a bundled app. Admittedly, I haven't yet tried that.
Use adb appcontrol. It's free and you can just disable it. It's a windows app.
Google finally fixed this issue with the latest version of the app.
