I was actually wondering the same thing. !!! It seems so simple, yet this IS my first android phone, and although I've done some seemingly difficult things for a first time android user (like rooting, changing the poweron sound, and the android boot animation), I CANNOT figure out how to get my picture to show up on my profile!

**Seriously laughing at myself here, but HELP!!! :eek::eek::eek:
 
Remember that all contacts are sync'ed with Google.
Try to refresh or re sync the contacts information.

Ok....I've done that....

And I really feel like a total idiot here, because I KNOW I've seen this screen somewhere....to put in a picture on the phone profile. I have a pic on my google profile already, but it's not sync'ing along with the other information. I did, however, find (on Handcent only) the option to add a pic from my phone. So I'm gonna assume for now that is what I need to do in order to add the pic. My question is....if I add a pic on MY phone, does that pic get sent along with my text messages, or is it just for my own handset view?? :confused:

I'm really over here laughing at myself for being able to complete what should be, at least, somewhat difficult tasks for a new android user, but I can't figure out the simplest of things sometimes....lol.

I think I need a break....:p
 
Ok.. I just found this "Profile" setting and tested it.


Add yourself to your contacts and add your cell number and gmail email address. Add a pic and that should work.
