phone help: for some reason, my Android phone assigned a picture from another one of my contacts as my personal icon picture.

Posted by TFox Apr 26 '11, 08:11

So when I text my wife, the picture I see next to my texts is this other girl Alison. It's disconcerting. But I can't find where to fix it, because I'm not listed in my own contact list. So... what do i do?

(note: deleting the other person from my contacts list fixed it, because i barely know the person.) - TFox Apr 26, 08:14
oh oh oh! good question! i put in Dave's mom's phone # and as i was typing in "Megan" it autofilled Mojave Mom's facebook picture! - Andie Apr 26, 08:14 5

  - oh, it's amusing, but a little odd. :) -- nm - Andie Apr 26, 08:21
- you can turn off Facebook sync entirely, but its weird how it just decides to join shit and then doesn't let you edit it. - TFox Apr 26, 08:16 2
  - I'm sure there's a way to tell it not pick up certain contacts from your Google account but I've been too lazy to do that. - Reagen Apr 26, 08:18 1
    - I cleaned that up by going into my contacts list in GMail and promoting and demoting the right people from 'My Contacts' to 'All Contacts'. -- nm - TFox Apr 26, 08:20
