The everyday problems...

Having used the HD2 for 4 days now I thought I would like to share my everyday problems with you.
MAJOR PROBLEMS:
- MAJOR lag when opening a treaded conversation with more than just a couple of messages. Sometimes you will have to wait more than 30 seconds before you can begin typing if you have a long message history with that person.
- Opera does not support flash.
- Volume-control is very buggy and in persistent. Sometimes they control the volume other times they skip through songs.
PROBLEMS:
- Auto-capitalise doesn't work while texting
- Youtube videos cannot be opened from the youtube homepage and the application is very limited = no way to watch subscribed vidoes, channels, playlists, etc...
- The dictionary sometimes randomly turns off (not that it changes from XT9 to ABC - it just doesn't work)
- The danish dictionary is crap (common words like så(then) and på(on) are not recognized) and the eT9MyWords does not help at all (and some places the phone does not understand æøå leaving me with wierd symbols)
- Crappy syncing with gmail and google services (HTC calender can't sync with Google Calender and you are not always told when a new reply has arrived on your email)
- The msn messenger application often refuses to log me in unless I turn the phone on and off.
- I cannot change language (unofficially you can but it will leave some parts of your phone not working)
- The screen accually have a visible 2 visible grids plus dots, if you hold it in the right angle with ENOUGH LIGHT(kinda looks like your screen is scracted in a pattern) (I have spots everywhere in my appartment and on my work so this is more than a minor problem for me)
MINOR PROBLEMS:
- Camera creates images with a slight pink center-spot (try taking a picture of a white wall or paper)
- Sometimes the contacts loose their image.
- No notification light for email and sms
- No universal landscape support
- No hardkey for multitasking(switching/closing apps)
- Sometimes a small icon bug on the logscreen cutting the top of the "new messages icon"
- Doesn't seem like you can refresh the facebook contact image
- The lock screen will not take you to the new message if you slide the message icon - you will be taken to the last checked message
- There are ZERO games worth playing at the moment

I have heard people having lag on contacts with alot of messages, but haven't been able to verify that myself since I got a new sim and stuff... Other than that I think the messaging app itself is good =)

- How do you turn gps on and off?

When an application needs GPS it will start using the relevant COM port. The system will then enable GPS. When you stop using the port, GPS will be disabled. So it's automatic. If, for some reason, you need to turn it on without using (maybe you hate batteries and want them all to die, I don't know), this can be done programmatically, although I haven't seen an application that would do just that, without reading GPS data for some reason.

"- The screen accually have a visible 2 visible grids plus dots, if you hold it in the right angle with ENOUGH LIGHT(kinda looks like your screen is scracted in a pattern)"
Not on all HTC HD2 models I don't know why some ppl have this.

Try using a spot light/architect lamp and look at the screen from different angles. I am quite sure evey single HD2 got the grid.

Just got mine today. Set up my email and everything, but now all my email contacts are in 'all people' contacts. How can i get rid of the ones with just email? Only really want telephone numbers there..

but still, the biggest problem is, that it doesnt support transformation to helicopter

Yes You can! After changing language code in registry, you need to copy some files to Windows directory. I am sure you will find more info in the main tweaks thread.
I know this phone has some problems, but I am sure they will be fixed by HTC or might XDA community.

How are HD2 owners finding the battery life so far? What is your general usage (eg. calls, bluetooth, etc?)? What is the on-screen keyboard like for daily use with SMS/Email? I can't decide whether to get the HD2 or Omnia 2 and think this could be a helping factor. My previous HTC (Kaiser) had shocking battery life :-(

mate, you will be shock again when use HD2. The battery life is far behind iPhone 3GS. It needs to be recharged every day if you want to play some games, listen music and use WIFI. Also, recommended use the OEM charger (5V 1A) other than computer USB port (which is 500mA) to charge it.
Compare to HTC TYTN II hard keyboard, the on screen is similar to iPhone which will easily make your arm sore.

Just go to "Windows live" software settings and change it to not synchronize contacts.
It will then automatically remove them from the phone contacts.
Hope this can help.

Here are my list of issues.
1) The volume rocker sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the volume rocker controls the playback of the track i.e. reverse/fast forward. Think it is linked to use of the headset. Like I say, this problem is sporadic, but annoying. The solution? Restart the phone.
2) Texting - something very basic. It annoys me that the space key isn't recognised enough so you can often type this 'haveyouheardof'... again it's just annoying. Same goes with the backspace too.
3) Still on texting - auto-capitalise doesn't work. This is just irritating beyond belief!!! I am a perfectionist and I want the phone to automatically put a capital letter after I use a full stop. It's not hard is it really?
4) Still on texting.... problem with texts not being sent and sitting in the outbox forever.
5) The screen - LOVE the screen but also HATE it. It's sensitive, but in the bad way, it recognises touches when you don't want it to but sometimes doesn't when you want it to. For example, use the MSN app and have the keyboard up in mid convo and try to scroll using the slider on the right and hold your finger down on the slider, mid way between the bottom and top of the conversation (sorry it's hard to explain), and the slider just flickers up and down as if its having a seizure.
6) The clock stutters SLIGHTLY when you press the home screen. It's just annoying - polish please.
7) Email sync often fails. Solution? Reset the phone - annoying.
8) If you hold the phone too hard against your ear, the earphone hurts your ear as it's sharp.
9) Multi-tasking. It's damn awkward even if it does it well, technically. It feels like I would kill for an 'alt + tab' type button a lot of the time.
10) Annoying perfectionist thing - when you're on a phone and you put it to your ear the backlight fades, when you take it away from your ear, the backlight comes back on. Sometimes it fades ON (good) but sometimes it flickers on (bad), looks sloppy and gross when it does the latter. I want continuity.
11) Battery life
12) LED notification light doesn't blink when you receive emails unless you hack the registry.

THanks for the help. Except ''Store Windows Live contacts in your mobile phone's contact list' is check but also greyed out so i cannot changed it

Task manager
The build-in wm task manager is anoying, so Dutty made a cab for the leo rom he made for the touch HD. It's simply the HTC task manager from the touch HD.
And it works like a charm for the HD2.
Just google "Dutty's task manager"

Remove your windows live account and re add it ensuring you don't click the box to merge/sync contacts with your address book.

Many thanks for this reply, very helpful. I did wonder, when comparing the Omnia 2 to the HD2 about the battery. The former has a 1500mAh battery, a 3.7" screen and it's AMOLED so uses less power. The HTC has a 1230mAh battery and a backlit 4.3" screen...beautiful tho it is it's a tough one to live with. Until I bought the (Mugen 3000mAh) extended battery for the the TyTNII, it was always low :-(
I think I'll have a play with a relatives iPhone to see if I can live with the virtual keyboard, if not, the Sammy B7610 looks niiiiiice. This generation of WinMo devices is so close to mobile nirvana, but just falls ever so slightly short, it's annoying :-(

Contact Picture Quality

I'm probably not the first to 'complain' about this... but I thought I'd put it all together in one post and see if anyone was having the same issues, or same results...
So...
Trying to 'Sync' Facebook contact pics with my x10 contact pics - tried a few apps, and while most of them did the job to some degree, with varying results, but mainly the same level of disappointment, one thing I found with all of them was that the resolution was abysmal to say the least...
I found also that if I opened Facebook, I could view any of my own profile pics, and I was given the option to assign them to a contact – great (sort of) providing the only people I know are myself. Friends pictures were ‘locked’ such that the assign to contact option did not exist - silly, really.
Now, while fiddling with my phone, I discovered that the some of the Facebook contact syncing apps actually downloaded a full quality pic to my device – perfect – now let me see if I can open them and assign them to a contact... nope, no luck – interestingly, they were ‘locked’ just like they were when I opened them through Facebook – no option to assign them to a contact.
Now, I move them to another folder (one which had pics that I could assign) and all of a sudden, they were unlocked... funniest thing was that pics left in the original folder I took them from were also unlocked... odd... good too, but odd.
So happily assigning all these full definition contact pics, I then had a look at them, and the resolution was again abysmal... WTF...! Anyway, one last go, and instead of going via the picture to assign it to a contact, I went through the contact then assigned a picture to it... Success...! this time proper resolution...!
So from this I assume that going through the picture, or any syncing apps, you’re only getting a contact pic as good a quality as the Android system expects. However, if you go through the contact, the x10 is getting a contact pic at the full quality it knows it needs to display...
Anyway, take what you will from this, but I thought it was interesting...

same over here, the pictures I assigned to my contacts are very high quality and they all look like sh#t on the phone when some one calls me.
It is full of noise and extremely blurry. Really don't understand why...They can't be made this for such a low quality so I assume we do something wrong, but I can't figure it out. Do we need very big resolution pictures to get them proper on this phone? But thanks for the tip, working the other way around does work good, but it keeps being strange...
Cheers.
Arnold

Consider that a phone call needs to pop-up right away. Why waste the processing speed to show a full resolution image?
Note: I think an update that went around to some regions cleaned up the resolution a bit.

Not the brazilian update.

I'm willing to swear that it's a donut issue... mainly because going the Android way in is ugly, and the SE way in is on the money...
You'll also notice the Android way gives you a square pic, and the SE way gives you an elongated pic to fit with their interface...

Agreed that it might be low res for this reason, but the x10 can handle the hi res just as good - and considering the contact pics are so large, you definitely want them full res.
Hopefully SE do some updates to improve this... Hopefully...

Problem is, I don't wan't the elongated pic or the square pic.
With WinMo I could put any pic format.
Why should I be restricted in Android?

wishlist for this phone...

i love this new phone and new os but some things are really annoying and i hope they will be fixed in a future software update
no custom ringtones and no seprate volume control for ringtones this really sucks cause if i turn down the game or music volume it turns down the volume for everything.
playing a game like need for speed and hitting that stupid search button will kick u out of a game ur playing.
setting wallpaers u cant set a full wallpaper u always got to crop the image first i hate this.
no turn by turn directions for maps.
the dialpad and message theme kind of sucks i hope this can be changed
i would like to be able to set a wallpaper for the main screen just not the lockscreen
headphone volume output need to be way louder
the phone tile when u miss a call or get a message would be cool if it would show u who u missed a call from and if u got a text message it would show who text u and half of the message or something like that kind of like what the me tile does when u post something new
putting contact tiles if it would show messages and misssed calls alerts on there tiles that would be great
the top menu bar should always show battery lift signal if u get a txt message etc.
improvment on loading time for games etc..
cant think of anything else i want changed right now
other then that i love this new os i been using iphone since the 2g iphone and this is just way diffrent i also use a android device

I'd like more options within text messaging. I'd like the ability to initiate a call from a text message, and the ability to add a contact from a text message.

I've been a Windows mobile user for quite a while, and made a switch to Android, now to Windows Phone 7, it's great, but I agree with everything you posted, but adding a file explorer it a must. The ability to select or hide different photos that show on the picture tile, an option to hide/show the keyboard while typing (so you can see the whole screen), and the ability to turn on/off wifi, Bluetooth from the main screen instead of digging into the settings each time. Plus a few more settings, like wifi rules, (turning off Wifi automatically after unused, if you like). It would also be nice to be able to remove that little white arrow in the upper right corner of the main screen, it takes up so much real estate on the main screen. Landscape mode on more screens would be nice too.
Oh, and the option to remove an account, I already have a Windows Live account that I don't use stuck on the phone. I don't see a way to remove it, and cant' change the email address or log in id info, only the password.
I'm sure updates will be rolling out to resolve some issues, or possibly apps.....??

surround
you can just add a second windows live acccount and disable the first one by unchecking everything effectively disabling it. I wish you could delete the main one too. However, I posted this somewhere else, the phone got corrupted and after i did a hard reset and connected to my computer, the Zune software restored all my programs (in the backgrouind without my knowledge) and all was good again. There are some bad reveiws of this phone on youtube, but some of the reviewers got it all wrong. For instance the screen resolution for movies is EXCELLENT. It takes the zune software a long time to convery and copy some movies but worth the wait. There are some bugs and some things could use improving. I would say the one thing that bugs me the most is when you zoom in on a net page...the text could be sharper. But I can live with it. All in all the phone is a pleasure and I look forward to the updates.

Thing i dont like about video watching is Netflix over 3G is good quality.. but youtube is crap over 3G. There NEEDS to be a setting for this. Its just a hub extension, but hopefully something gets fixed.

A lot of your suggestions are for the OS, not the physical phone.
It would be nice if the OS could utilize the awesome speaker on the phone a bit more. For example, speaker phone is pretty weak. I also dislike how if the speaker is not slid out, everything is muffled. I guess they expected the sound to reflect better, but it just doesn't.
That's really all I can think of besides the lack of a microSD slot that's visible anyway. I'd take my phone apart to see if there is one, but I don't have a torx bit small enough.
Besides the OS limitations, I think the phone is awesome.

I want to be able to set the notification LED to blink for new texts, emails, etc

I second this. One of the things I miss most from my Tilt2 and all other winmo phones have been the blinking notification light.

Need more from microsoft
I want to be able to block unwanted call, more options in the settings menu and better functions for the camera.

definitely need to be able to explore the phone. more wifi options would be nice as well. also the speaker seems to be a bit lacking. ( sure thumps when i hook it up over the cd deck in my truck though!) I had the htc tp2 prior to this and i became completely addicted to the wifi router utility, so for me personally that would be the most important thing. if anyone knows about anything like this under development let me know. i'm always willing to donate to a good cause.

One of my teens got his old LG upgraded to a Surround for Christmas yesterday. I'd been thinking when my Tilt 2's upgrade time comes this summer I'd do the same -- but not after spending a frustrating afternoon helping him with it!
We played with it in the store several weeks ago. I think the slideout speaker is a gimmick but he's 16 and thinks it's great. We both agree the WinMo 7 tile thing is a bit silly but is FAST, and he loves the HTC Hub UI. The hardware is very good (though I'm not sure I agree with no micro-SD slot).
But using Zune software to sync is a PAIN!!! My Vista laptop took 1/2 hour to download the device drivers, then insisted on a reboot before downloading the Zune software (another 20 minutes). Then the Zune install insisted on checking for an upgrade (yet another 20 minutes) before going thru a rather painful 10 minute install.
Once installed, it was very unhappy when I changed the monitored folders, and took several attempts before it would sync with the folders I'd copied off the kiddos old micro-SD card. Of course what I was most amazed about was the lack of drag-n-drop support in Windows! What kind of lame-brained, Steve Jobs-style of engineer would nix that? (I did find the reg hack to renable that just a few minutes ago, but haven't verified it yet.)
Lots and lots of lockdowns in WinMo 7 that I don't like, as have been mentioned by previous posters. This whole thing reminds me why I disklike the iPhone's OS so much!
Maybe my next phone is gonna have to be an Andriod phone instead...

I kind of agree with all of you. Microsoft might have come into this having windows phone shut a little too tight.
However, that only means that there is more room for improvement.
Multitasking would be nice, especially ones that resonate when you dont have to see them, like streaming music. or at least faster app switching.
File Explorer is kind of important and Bluetooth file sharing too.
Tethering is not that important, but on my fuze I used to use it whenever I went on trips and the hotel tries to give me wifi for $30 a day...but eh... the screen is so much bigger, and it goes a lot faster too that I dont see any need for it, (besides plugins like java, or flash)
Oh and a definite must is the camera settings STAYING THE WAY I LEFT THEM. Whenever you exit the camera, it goes back to default. and on my phone at least, video recording goes to vga, so i would have to set it to 720p if i wanted it.

would love the call blocking and please a flash player!!!!!!!

Improvements
After Multi-tasking and copy and paste are added in the soon to be released update, I would like to see a few more additions. Flash player, Pandora, LED indicator light options for notifications, ringtone options beyond what they have allowed so far, the ability to send videos as MMS messages and a battery % remaining would make me ecstatic.

heh.... guys you will never see multitask like it was on 6.5 ..
as multitask they say - future CLOUD infrastructure update .. which will allow run signed apps on cloud infrastructure .. that means = you will be allowed to create ICQ client .. part of client will run on MS servers . that part will collect ALL YOUR ICQ EVENTS .. and then send to phone via PUSH notify .. on phone side nothing will be rly changed ..coz multitask goal does not collaborate with main WP7 idea - ISOLATED ENVIROMENT FOR APPS

Keyboard directional arrows
Is anyone missing keyboard up, down , left and right arrows? I sure miss them. Lifting your fingers off the keyboard to position the cursor on a particular spot in the sentence is really time consuming and not very precise.

Correct, I will really appreciate arrows in the keyboard
Sent from my Samsung Focus using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

My only feature request for all WP7 devices is gapless music playback. I really, really hate the two seconds silence between tracks, especially on electronic music or The Dark Side of The Moon (man, I love that album.)

Wi-Fi Router
The most important thing that is missing on Windows Phone 7, no doubt, is the wi-fi router function. Today I have to walk with two phones, because of the missing of wi-fi router.
Another important things are:
- File Manager
- Send photos/files via bluetooth
- Outlook Notes synchronization
- Office docs synchronized on the Windows Live could be open on a computer and vice-versa
Main software that I wish to be developed for WP7:
- Log Me in
- SQL Server Client
- Olive Tree Bible
- Google Maps (Oh Google Maps, you don't know how I miss you and your amazing Latitude)
- Auto CAD WS
- Skype
- MSN Messenger
I agree with everything else you published.

MMS Settings
Be able to customize the MMS Settings, some carriers have differnt tier's of internet with different APN's and it is a Necessity to have that option!!!!

Nexus S - Bugs & Wishlist

Hey guys, I believe we are going to need a general thread to report and discuss Nexus S bugs so here it is!
Let me start by reporting what I found so far.
1. Screen does not respond to the first/second touch after unlock.
2. Email app (not Gmail) does not zoom in/out. We are talking about a really bad experienced when displaying HTML emails.
3. Again for Mail app signature is not included when you create mail straight from Contacts.
4. SMS Delivery Reports are a MESS. Send SMS to a person getting delivery report pop-up for another completely unrelated number while the original message is still pending. We are talking about a disaster here lool
5. Also for the SMS Delivery reports. Pop up notification display the number and not the contact's name.
6. Many websites are causing the browser to act very slow for none reason. (with Flash activated or deactivated). Major example androidcentral.com. I found many websites that causing major lag on browser.
7. MMS are blurry as reported by many
8. Battery Never charge to 100% even if your phone displays 100% it drops to 97% once you unplug it. If I remember correctly I had the same problem with Nexus One.
9. Calendar Widget does not display "Today's" events
10. Google forgot to put Digital Zoom on Camera App. (And yes digital zoom is worthless but many people for some reason like it and miss it.)
11. Not really a bug, but if you notice on Gingerbread Google placed the keyboard 1cm above the bottom of the screen, is not located all the way to the bottom of the screen like previous Android versions. that 1cm is more than enought for me to hit blank screen and not the space bar when I am typing.
12. On keyboard you have to press and hold to select a smile icon. Then you need to keep holding your finger down until you actually select what you want.
13. There is not multiple select threats on messaging. So If I want to delete multiple threads I have to do it one by one...
14. Contacts Associated with Facebook Contacts have a really blurry really bad quality picture on caller id.
Wishlist:
1. We are on Android 2.3 and Google still doesn't giving us the option to install different locales. I mean not many people care for Language Menus but we do need the official Keyboard to add other freaking Languages. This is ridiculous...
2. Copy Paste is well improve but is very immature. Evey app use different method to generate copy and paste.
3. Hardware-wise the phone supports flawless 720p video recording. Why Google didn't include it?
4. The phone needs a native video-call app. Google needs to update Gtalk ASAP.
5. Called ID picture is way too small for this gorgeous 4 inch Super Amoled display.

add to error-list:
13. facebook sync is not working 100% correct - i got many gmail contacts witch are not synced with the facebook contact (would not be that bad but my girlfriends contact is not syncing right)
ad to Wishlist:
5. notificatins led would be cool ... (SMS, MSS, MAIL, ...) nut the 3 would be very very cool ...

I agree with it all. My main issue is the 'deadzone' which is the 1cm edge of the touch screen.

This is NOT a bug. This is by design.
To elaborate, from the stickied FAQ:
unremarked said:
Q: I unplugged my phone, and my battery dropped from 100% to 95% immediately, or it won't/takes along time to charge past 99%, what gives?
This is by design. Your phone will slow down and eventually stop pulling charge at or slightly greater than ~95% regardless of what your battery indicator says. This is to extend the overall life of the battery, as constant 100% to 0% charge/discharge cycles will cause it to fail prematurely. If you're interested in really pushing it to 100%, you can use a technique that is called "bump charging" and is better detailed here: http://bit.ly/f6xiZ0/

Sorry, jumped the gun a little. See the quote I edited in.
Like I said, this is by design.
EDIT: I also have some of the things you've pointed out listed in the Known Issues section of the FAQ, and some that you don't have.

BUG: touch screen area
the bug i've found so far... (which can be fixed by a screen calibration app)
the first half inch of the screen right above the 4 soft buttons, are not very responsive, unless you use your finger tips
so when you Naturally use the THUMB to press those quick shortcuts from Launcher Pro, or stock Android Launcher it won't react.... which is rather annoying.
never had that problem with the SGS

I started a thread over at Android Central to get people to visit reported issues to Google and star them. Here's the list so far. Let's add to it.
1) Random ringtone/notification tone changes: Ringtones assigned to contacts do not maintain assignment after a reboot
2) Disappearing App icons on the home screen or difficulty in moving them: Disappearing Home Screen Icons
3) Disappearing photos from the Gallery:
Issue 13419 - android - New pictures disappear in Gallery - Project Hosting on Google Code
4) Repeal the 15-min return policy in App Market (it used to be 24 hours): Issue 13116 - android - Change refund time in Market. 15min is way to little. - Project Hosting on Google Code
5) Accelerometer not working after using Sky Maps: Nexus S-Accelerometer will not work after using Sky Maps
6) After screen times out, you can't bring it back when using speakerphone or earbuds: after screen times out, you can't bring it back when using speakerphone or earbuds

Hmm, that deadzone seems like it'll be a troublesome issue for me... Can you please post a picture of the keyboard displacement? (I haven't got my NS yet, so I don't know how it looks)

i don't know if this is one of the error.. but the charging time is ridiculous. i could charge up to 2 hours and still not finish charging.. the battery run out ridiculously fast too.. with normal usage it barely manage more than half a day.. i adjust my screen brightness to the minimum level and turn off background data and auto sync (i just turn them on when i needed them), and use it to play a little bit of games and watching movies.. 8 hours is around the best time i got..
another known issue is poor wifi signal =(..i am standing 1 meter from my router and the signal could drop from full bar to 1 bar while my sister macbook could receive wifi from another room that is quite far from the router..

Something I noticed yesterday was notification tones almost nonexistent despite the volume being at full blast. When pressing the volume rocker I barely hear anything. I fixed this by rebooting the phone but still something that's a little alarming.

Not sure if it was mentioned, but i hope they fix the MMS/image upload orientation issue

I dont know if this is considered a nexus bug, but...
-Youtube app, if I search for, select, and watch a video...after completion, if I press search again, and type something in, after hitting enter it simply clears the search screen and returns to finished video. In order to make a new search I have to back back back all the way to the first youtube screen or force close/reopen youtube app. Again this is using the provided youtube app, not youtube mobile

I haven't experienced any of the things in that list, but then again they are pretty app specific and I don't use any of those apps. One thing I did experience was the Facebook app just logged me out and lost all my contact sync settings. This happened to me twice, but it is more likely a Facebook problem and not Gingerbread.
Oh, I did notice the battery charge thing but like someone else mentioned I don't consider that a bug.

I have no idea what they're talking about. o_o I have almost always used the stock Messaging app on every Android phone I've ever owned (and I've owned a fair share of them, see sig) and never once have I had a problem anywhere CLOSE to what they're reporting.
I've only ever had two issues with messaging was on the Nexus One, it's weak 3G/phone signal would cause alot of messages to not send randomly. And the other was my GF would sometimes receive duplicates of messages after flashing/reflashing/restoring things on my G2. Interestingly enough, no one else told me they were getting duplicates 'cept for her.
EDIT: Beyond that, I take what Engadget says with a great grain of salt. I consider them to be the FOX News(instead of the GOP, it's Apple) of phone/technology blogs.

If you haven't already, go into Google+ settings, and check "keep contacts up to date." It can take several hours for the photos to go to good resolution. Aside from that, you may need a third party app.

Contact photos are the bane of my existence. I have a touch of OCD with my contacts and have figured out a lot of things as I have experimented with why quality (and actual pictures) vary so much.
First, much of the problem with poor photos comes from the fact that at some point in the past gmail did not support high res photos. I do not know when the change happened, but it was at least a few years ago. So anyone that has not updated their profile photo in over a few years will probably come across as low resolution.
Second, Google Apps does not support high res photos to this day. So, those of us that have apps for our work accounts (tons of government employees) end up with low res photos that show up as people's contacts.
Third, Google + makes a mess of contact photos. Some google apps automatically will use the G+ picture over anything else (apps like hangouts and gmail). I have not totally figured this one out yet, some G+ profile pictures just don't show up as a contact photo even though they are put in on a persons page, the result is a blank profile photo in Hangouts and Gmail.
The fix, I have found, is to put in my own profile pictures for the people I communicate with the most. It is a bit labor intensive, but I just make a "profile pictures" folder in my Google Drive and put the photos in there that I want and set them to their contacts from my phone. The only downside is that my work account (google apps for gov't) still does not support high res photos so every time I get a new phone I have to update the contact photos again to keep the blurry pictures away.
Good Luck!
