How do I get Gallery pictures to show up in BlinkFeed on your Verizon HTC One?
If I go to the menu choices for BlinkFeed, choose Topics and Services and go to Services and Apps I see Calendar, Gallery, Kid Mode and TV listed. I have Calendar and Gallery checkboxed. If I then go to the BlinkFeed screen and choose the menu item for Highlights I see Calendar and Gallery checked. I back out of this menu and choose Highlights (not Apps).
Only Calendar events show up.
I know BlinkFeed works to a degree - if I choose things I don't want like Associated Press or Huffington Post or Movies (under Entertainment...) my BlinkFeed gets populated with articles from those sources. Those are nice but I'd rather have my Calendar and pictures from my Gallery.
Thinking I was doing something wrong I took the word Highlights to mean that only Highlighted picts in my Gallery showed up so I went through and starred a bunch of pictures (I now have a Highlights category in my Gallery along with Camera Shots, Picasa, etc...) but still no pictures in BlinkFeed.
I've tried speaking to Verizon both on the phone and in the store ("what's BlinkFeed?") and I was even bumped up to Tier 2 .. and then all the way to HTC themselves but no one seems to quite get what I'm looking for. ("Have you restarted your phone?") sigh.
One person suggested my phone was corrupt and I should reset to factory. As a side note, every single other thing on the phone works flawlessly so I highly doubt I need to "reset my phone to factory". Another suggested waiting for Sense 5.5 with JB 4.3, but 4.3 showed up and .. I still have Sense 5.0. Quick search suggests I'll get 5.5 with JB 4.4 in January. I am not holding my breath.
Anyone else out there know what I'm looking to do and know how to solve this?
Thank you,
Marc
