Displaying profile picture in Gmail App I've got an ICS device, when I send SMS messages, G+ messages or GoogleTalk message my avatar appears beside each email.

When I send emails through my GMail account in a browser my profile picture appears next to them.

Inside the GMail app a profile picture appears for each of my contacts but not for me.  The email address I send from is listed in my profile.

Can anyone tell me how to set this image?
I just ran into this same issue.  I think it's because I had a contact for myself in gmail that didn't match the capitalization that the gmail app (or maybe just android) uses for your personal email address (all lower case for me).

In any case, here's the steps I took that fixed it for me.  I am running Jelly Bean, so it may be a little different for you.


  
  Open the gmail app
  Tap the gmail icon in the top left corner and take note of the capitalization of your email address on the top left
  open an email that you sent
  Tap on the place where your picture would be (it should be a picture of the first letter of your first name)
  Tap on your profile picture in the popup to go to the contact details
  Choose "Edit" from the setting dropdown in the top right corner (the 3 vertical dots)
  Change your email address to all lower case (or maybe whatever showed up in step 2.  If one doesn't work, try the other.)
  Tap "Done" at the top left.
  


This fixed it inside my email.  In order to also fix it in the email list, I had to also do the following.


  
  Go to gmail's "App Info" page. (under Phone Settings -> Apps -> "All" tab for me)
  Tap "Clear Data" once the numbers finish calculating (and ok on the warning popup)
  Open the gmail app and wait for your emails to re-sync
  Enjoy your face you handsome devil.
  


Hopefully this works for you or anyone else that stumbles across this thread.
