Issue with pictures setting profile picture

Lusamski — Fri, 14 Mar 2014 21:16:20 GMT

Hello everyone,

I am having an issue with my phone. I'm trying to set the picture for the "myself" profile in the contacts section however when I try to set any picture (whether taken on my phone or downloaded) the following message appears: "Protected picture. Could not add" I've only had the phone for two days now so I'm unsure if this will have any other effects on other files or transfers.

Any ideas?

I am now having the same error --- it started happening when I try to attach a Google Photo to my MMS. If I use another program (Sony built-in Gallery) it attaches. I tried reinstalling Google+, thinking that there's a bug. No luck.

I've had my phone since December, 2013 and this JUST started yesterday.

I had the same problem after I activated my Xperia in settings. When activated it protects all your images
