If you enable it in the Facebook app, Android gives you notifications from Facebook.

Picture in Notifications for Messages?

Hey all,
I went back and re-watched the Google/Samsung announcement from October. The video specifically shows Matias as having a text (from the Messages app) from Andy Rubin and Andy's picture shows up there (like how it does for emails).
When I get a text message, I get the little box smiley face icon, and not the person's picture. Has anyone gotten a picture to show up there?

Yes

Yes you have a picture there? Did you have to do anything special? Are you syncing from Google+ or anything?

I am synching with google+, yes, but the contacts who I have pictures for in the messages app are not from google+; they are just normal contacts. I added pictures to the contacts manually.

Hi, I have same problem. When I got SMS I have only "SMS app logo" in notification bar. Can you please advise how to achieve photos there?

I don't have pics showing up either in notification. My contact, Google+, etc all have different pics for the person biti still only see the messaging app icon.

Weird how it is working for jstegeman. I'm getting my contact pics from my Google Contacts syncing. I would hate to have to attach all the pics manually from the phone just to get it to show in the Notifications!

Sorry, all, I just reread this. I'm not getting the picture in my notifications, but in the messaging app itself. I didn't notice the word "Notifications" in the thread title. Apologies for the wild goose chase.

Stock ICS keyboard doesn't show smilies icon in every app

It's weird. The icon shows Messaging, G+, Gtalk, but it doesn't in eg. Facebook, Tweet(Tweak)Deck and even in this XDA app. Why is that?
Anyway to make it appear all the time?
It's frustrating at times

The app you are in determines what the keyboard shows. That's why GO SMS can make it show all the time.

Question reguarding contacts app and media

Ok so I'm watching an android vs ios videos and this guy using froyo did something. When he clicked on his contacts he had the option of viewing a contacts "history" "activities" and "media" that has been say uploaded to Facebook. Now when I go into contacts including the ones I've synced from Facebook. I don't have any of those tabs and it will only let me select history from the popup menu. Am I missing something here? Do these options still exist?

[Q] Facebook Home

Is anyone else having problems installing Facebook home on their phone, because everyone says that you can install it on the galaxy note 2, but its not working on mine it says my phone isn't supported?

I'm having the same problem. Thought it was cos I have an N7105 not N7100 but I'm not sure.

Make sure you have updated Facebook app.
Then in the Facebook app, go to settings and check "enable Facebook home"
I tried it for a couple of hours then uninstalled it.
But when I installed it the first time, I made my Nova launcher the default launcher.
That left the facebook home only as a lock screen and nothing else.
I think that as a simple lock screen it works better

Weird,. I just made sure both Facebook app and Facebook messenger were latest version and then straight install. No problems at all.
