Lock screen icons?

[grunt0300]

On the lock screen of my phone, there are some icons at the top. One of them is a blue circle, that looks like it's made for a photo to be put inside it. How do i get to that icon, in order to put my photo there? Thanks.

Go to your contacts and you should have a contact for yourself. If you set a picture there that icon will change. The blue icon is the default icon.

Tried that. It didn't work.

Really? That's odd I had tested it before replying and then did it again right now.

I just deleted my contact photo, waited a few minutes, put it back in contacts, and still no photo on lock screen. Maybe i have to re-size my photo?

Have you tried a reboot? I didn't have to but just to see if maybe that'll do it.

Reboot also didn't work.

I see that blue icon on my screen sometimes too, and I do have a picture on my contact page for me, so I have the same thing going on from time to time and I also wondered what it was...

I'm guessing a bug report is in order. Did any of you get the latest update that mentions the notification sound fix.

I got it, and downloaded it. NCL25.86-11-4-6. It works. My sound is back to normal.

I got it and downloaded it. I never had trouble with the sound of the notifications, though.

I figured it out. Scroll up to the top of your contacts. There should be a contact for yourself. Add your photo, and it will show up on your lock screen.

Is that different from post #2?

Still not sure why I get that blue symbol randomly now and then. I do have a picture in my contacts at all times. This is only on my phone, no blue symbol on my tablet ever.. I'm just not going to worry about it... It doesn't seem to affect any function

We have a thread on here somewhere about this. I believe that if the Contact name is "Me" and if the picture assigned to the Me contact matches the picture in your Google + profile then you will always see the same pic in the Notification / lock screen area. If any of those things don't align, you might see a blue circle, maybe your contact pic or maybe your Google + profile pic. I think the sun and Moon and stars have to be aligned to have consistent results. I'll see if I can fine the other / older thread.
