Even I had the same issue and had to disable Skype syncing so that i get the pictures back.

How can MS release the update without testing it properly!

Also, there is nobody on the internet talking about it except some few of us...i don;t know why aren't they bothered at all...as good as nobody noticed it...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SergSlim:
There's already a thread by me about it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2351825

I wasn't sure it was caused by Skype until just now, when I found this thread and similar thread on Skype forums - http://community.skype.com/t5/Andro...ing-all-non-Skype-contact-photos/td-p/1735257

And so do many others, probably... They don't blame Skype, I think.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angel.mariano:
i actually have the same problem.( GALAXY S4 ) it started about a week ago, contact pictures decided to dissappear, after i updated skype, im gonna try to uncheck the contact sync for skype and will report back :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poly136:
Sure - Skype

Same problem - HTC Desire X. After installing Skype 4 update all contacts photos (Google) disappeared. Syncing via Starred, after Skype sync photos again disappeared. Uninstall Skype 4, install 3.2 = contacts photos OK, but Skype contats synced only cca half... and without avatars.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oliviaellaschweitzer:
LOL, I just couldn't live without skype.

But you can alter to Whats app or viber.

Recently I use Wechat. That's a instant messaging app from a Chinese firm. Convenient but still Skype holds most users.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herpi:
Did you try to change the settings IN Skype where you can opt for NOT synchronizing contacts?

That should be enough.

Skype works fine with that option switched of..

And it will show all your existing Skype contacts.

More detailed instructions in my GUIDE!

THIS IS ONE QUICK/SIMPLE ERROR FREE ROM FLASHING PROCEDURE

This should eliminate a few posts saying, stuck in download mode, stuck at logo. just vibrates and them MANY other issues that somehow, everyone seems to find.

Here is my quick rom flashing process I use ALWAYS (yes always)

THINGS YOU NEED ON extSDCARD

1. Extra kernels (2 or 3 you know works for your device)

2. Optional: 2 recoveries that can be flashed (I use CWM & TWRP)

3. Optional: apps.zip (a zip created from Titantium BU, containing Root Explorer, TU Backup, Quickpic, ES File Explorer and Terminal Emulator)

Flashing the rom: TOUCHWIZ/AOSP ROMS

1. Backup current rom (to the extsdcard)

2. Complete wipe, (I do complete, some people do not) Complete = No Issues [FACTORY RESET + CLEAR CACHE + CLEAR DALVIK CACHE + CLEAR DATA]

3. Flash the rom

4. Flash the kernel (your device kernel) (I know some roms have their own kernel) this is where your problems start.

AGAIN: FLASH YOUR KERNEL, you KNOW it works. 1 more time FLASH YOUR KERNEL. (you can experiment with other kernels after you boot)

AOSP ROMS - require you to flash gapps before you boot. [This is not required for TouchWiz roms]

5. Boot the rom.

FINISHED!!!! SUCCESS!!!

Total time to flash a rom:

7-10min

Errors - NONE

This goes for every rom in my guide.

TIPS:

This flash procedure is for Touchwiz Roms, if you are flashing AOSP roms, you must flash the gapps package associated with the rom you are flashing.

**** SGH-I337M Users: Often requires flashing a different kernel than the one included in most ATT ROMS. Any GT-i9505 kernel will work and Adam kernel and Faux kernel are both confirmed working for us Canadian users.

Note: Flash KERNEL directly after ROM then reboot device.

[Special thanks to blyndfyre for this helpful tip].

The extra recovery I flash if a rom does not like the recovery I am using.

Yes, you can flash recoveries back and forth.

Apps.zip I flash after the rom is up & running. This I use to get the rom setup (like root explorer and others needed)

I am in no way responsible for anything that may do damage to any device - Use these tips at your own risk - period!

If you found this useful in any way, please hit the THANKS button for my effort.

Edit: Running a rom called Foxhound Gearengine right now from the i9505 thread. Used the same way to get lte going and worked flawlessly. This rom is sweet and even uses Aroma installer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] AxAtAx:
Yep, thats a good one, you could try backing up the apn from fox and restore into one of the other roms, should work.

Hey guys I've seen a few other posts about this issue but haven't come across any solutions that work for me. My gps won't lock when I try to use any type of navigation. When I go to maps my current location is shown but beyond that I get nothing. Tried the power cycle method and I flashed different roms and still have the same issue. Running Jedi X13.

Thanks

Make sure u have your carrier files
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slayher186:
What are the carrier files?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
?? Info ?? Ril files??

Seems like your using Google maps for your navigation. Don't know if you tried to clear the data in that actual app. May help you.

One other thing I read somewhere was that to install a GPS test. And try updating the agps info. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
O ok. Then there's a few more GPS fixes in the play store. But try this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cochibo.gpsstatus
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slayher186:
Still no luck, its weird I'm starting to see more owners with this issue lately.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Yeah someone else had the same thing. What Rom TW or CM?? Just wondering where it's coming..:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] johntortorella:
Same problem here, tried many times resetting AGPS data and it simply will not work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slayher186:
Im using TW. Jedi X14
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] johntortorella:
Had to go back to stock through Odin, and then also used a code in the dialer (forgot what it was, used the IMEI code of your phone in the end) to get a correct CSC for my carrier. Then my GPS started to work again and flashed to whatever ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrian2pm:
can you explain what you did step by step? I have been trying to get my gps to work I tried all the custom roms and now im running stock rom and still will not lock. I am about to take it to at&t if none of the above posts wont work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] johntortorella:
So after flashing to stock on Odin, I went to the phone app used this dialer code, *#272*IMEI#*

You can find your IMEI code in system settings > about device > status, I believe, a long bunch of numbers/letters. So substitute those numbers/letters for where it says IMEI in that dialer code. Then you'll get a few options for selecting your carrier, choose the correct one and your phone should reset once again.

After that, my GPS started working after I launched Google Maps and was able to pick up satellites in the GPS status app from the Play store.

I'm on a Canadian carrier (Bell), but hopefully this works for you. It is quite a pain to do all this for the sake of the GPS..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrian2pm:
Ill give it a shot. Will post back with results
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrian2pm:
didn't work for me I'm getting connection problem or invalid mmi code.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] johntortorella:
Really!? And this if after you flashed stock through odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrian2pm:
Yes I flashed back using odin. Got rid of my root and still will not lock the gps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] johntortorella:
And you did remember the asterisk at the end of the code? Other than that, have no idea why that reset code is not working for you..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrian2pm:
yeah and you hit send after the asterisk?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] johntortorella:
My phone actaully went right to the CSC menu after I put in that last asterisk.. Not sure. Sorry I couldn't help you. Having no GPS really does suck.

Another option could be to root your phone, again, and download CSC chooser from the Play store. Perhaps an alternative to that code?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrian2pm:
Thanks. Dont even know what csc is. I was on sprint note 2 then switched job and they provided me note 2 from at&t. I will look into that and report back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrian2pm:
I tried the csc but when I run it I get preconfiguredui does not support in single csc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] johntortorella:
Need to be rooted to use it.

My GPS got messed up again, been always restoring to a nandroid backup if I was on a 4.2.2 rom and I wanted to install a touchwiz 4.1.2 rom. Flashed stock with odin, factory reset in recovery, then factory reset in settings, and finally the dialer code I mentioned. Now my GPS is working again. I don't know why it's not working for you, maybe a difference in Canadian and American carriers?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrian2pm:
Thanks. Yes I rooted my phone first before running csc but kept gettin that message. I will try to factory reset from recovery and from settings.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] sonadt:
I have an experience as: I have installed the radio scheduler which I can set to turn BT on and off as pre-scheduled. During the time the BT is off as scheduled, I manually turn it ON then the device say: No BT Hardware. During the time BT is ON as scheduled, I turn it OFF then ON again, no any problem's arised. When I uninstall the Scheduler software, everything's OK. But because I need radio scheduler application to turn GSM/BT ON and OFF automatically as my schedule so I decide not to touch the BT Icon in the bottom tray when BT is off. Without that problem the software run perfectly.

My XDAmini's BT is perfectly paired and worked with my Jabra BT 258. For Async function with my laptop, I use BT Tool 1.0 patch.

So for your cases, I think there is some software have been installed to turn ON/OFF BT function in lower level than the Microsoft's BT stack. Then when MS's BT stack come to check the hardware has been turn OFF, it found NO BT Hardware.

Hope the explanation may help.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] steph@ne:
I've the same problem with a french ROM. There is a message that told "no bluetooth hardware on this device" but at sometimes il works for a limited time.

I've this problem only under 1.06 ROM not with 1.03.

I need help to resolve this. Soft reset and hard reset change nothing as reflashing with 1.06

Help needing :?

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] OCMAX:
Well.... I had the same message before when I upgraded to MA_DANG_WWE_10600_115_10500_SHIP. Then after a hard reset the problem gone. But his rom is not so stable.

Now I'm using the ma_cdlsku1_10600_110_10500_ship but override with the US radio to 110. And I can say is the most stable I had try on others.

After every soft reset my BT headset will paired by it self with my XDAmini, not like the others which I need to pair on manually. But only one thing is when the BT converage is out of range it had to pair them again. Anyway this is better then nothing.

Note: the radio 110 overiding is not for BT improvement. Just that is for the radio signal upgrade.

Hope this help. :D
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ssarl:
When you want to enable the bluetooth try to make it also discoverable to other devices. This will enable for sure the blue tooth and you will not get again a "No bluetooth hardware" error.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] skagen:
Not true. I have mine discoverable, but this problem seems to occur randomly.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bogs:
what error messege do you get? i fixed mine by installing that buzztooth or switch application im not sure of the name, but just try to remember the application that you tried/installed before that enable/disables the bluetooth with a shortcut. ow yea and a little tweak on the registry fixed mine..
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bruxelles5:
Explain de REGISTRY trick on the prog you install. Give us more information please
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bogs:
what error are you getting? i modified the registry because i had an license expired error..if thats not the error dont bother with the registry. anyway about the bluetooth device not found error i found out the SKtools application is doing it..so the easiest way would be a restore registry on the SKtools app then soft restart.

how long does it take for you guys on a HardReset to get to the startmenu?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] asci:
Same problems here:

1- No BT HW found

2- BT SW detects Flight Mode on and a message pop up saying to turn off FlightM to activate BT...but FlightMode is turned off yet! than the message is in Spanish and my ROM is Italian....

Really an annoying problem!!!

I hope that HTC has been informed about this!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] steph@ne:
Today, i've got one more this error. I'll made a screen copy when it happen.

When the problem occurs, there is no possibility to select bluetooth, all is grey :(

Hey guys,

I am a Flipboard fan and have been for quite some time (even from back in the day when it was not available on the Play Store and had to get it in a workaround).

Anyhow, I use Flipboard a lot because it is a very comfortable way for me to stay in touch with numerous sources and feeds. I find this very limited in the BlinkFeed options. It has a very small resource list from which it pulls its news stories.

Is there a way to add more sources to the BlinkFeed so I could basically make the change from using both widgets to just BlinkFeed?
