Well... before i had my nexus one and in it i had pics for all my contacts so when i would text everyone would have their little face in the chat. And when i would text i simply put a pic in the VOice mail contact and that was the pic for my responses.
For some reason this doesnt work on the G2. It's just a grey square and what i described doesnt work... anyone know how to change the default gray pic in the messaging app ??
I was able to do it by saving my number as a contact and then adding a pic of my choice to it.

Anyone know what the proper size of contact photo's should be so they are not blurry as heck in the contacts tab?
I've tried large and small, all sorts of sizes, and the photos are always blurry for whatever reason.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yeah it's really annoying. Something to do with the syncing between PC and phone, I think.
Contact photos size:
150x150 works fine for me.
Hope that helps.
wow. searching through XDA archives, I discovered-
if you set the contact pictures THROUGH THE TF3d interface, the contact photos are sharp and crisp. if you do it through the WM interface, its blurry.
just tried it, and it works.
what a wack non-sense way of doing it. I had to set all my contacts as favorites in the TF3D tab, change picture, then remove as favorite.... and now they are all nice and crisp photos.
I was all excited when I started to read this but then I was dejected....I have 200+ contacts and you can only select one "favorite" at a time...not.going.to.happen.

Heres how I did it:
1.) make your caller pics 280x280x72dpi
2.) Go to TF3 "My Favorites" tab->All Contacts
3.) Pick a contact you want to add the pic to
4.) Menu->Edit Contact
5.) Click picture icon in top right of screen->Open Album
6.) Menu Albums->navigate to your 280x280x72dpi caller pic
7.) it may be slightly too big so it will ask you to crop it, just click OK
8.) Done->Done->Back
9.) Now erase the contact from Favorites and Re-Enter it, nice hi-res pic should be flippable
Here's a generic caller pic to work with

272x272 , thats the exact default picture size the device set for the contacts pictures.

I don't think that this is the right decision for contact picture integration,
because I have hundreds of contacts..
I can't manually editing every picture for every single contact(even if i use only 20 of over 500 numbers), and after that all these point after point that you described...
Am I right ?

I dont know about the facebook pictures, but this is the only way to assign a particular hi-res photo to a contact. Like you, I also have about 20 out of 200 contacts that I use pictures with, and anyway TF3D "My Favorites" only allows you 15 pics. It really doesn't take that long to assign photos to 15 contacts, but if you find a better way please post it here.
Any answer or registry tweak yet? I have the same problem!
Hi all
When you link Facebook to contacts it uses the generic profile picture as the contact picture. If the person/contact has more than 1 profile picture can you chose which profile picture is used for the contact in the phone. For example, I don't like one particular profile picture but like another.
The reason for my question is that my HTC Touch HD would allow you to chose which profile photo (from Facebook) is used ..
Cheers
It seems to default to the FB one over Phone one. I quite like it because it means it changes, when they change their FB photo.
You can choose between Facebook and GMail (and maybe local) picture for a contact : go to the contact details, if the contact comes from more than 1 source (GMail and Facebook) there is a little "linked" symbol on the upper right. Click on that symbol. You'll see the 2 sources. On that screen, you can click on the picture of your contact and choose which one to display.

That is the general idea but it seems it doesn't do so. My contacts have changed their pictures a long time ago 9on FB) and i still see their old photo. I can seem to trigger it to change. If i un-link them i see my google picture BUT Facebook shows the NEW picture. If i re-link the profile i get back the old picture.
Any ideea how to force it to update the bloody picture?
Thanks.
Am I right and from all the threads here Contacts is a mess on the Desire?
You might have to remove and add your account again in settings

It's not a mess, it just that it has A LOT of extra features (more or less useful) that don't work as they should.
As a basic contacts to select, search, call, message, email etc it's perfectly fine, they just tried to make it do a lot more and with some consequences.
@slybeans: well that works, but really isn't a solution.
I'm using DeFroST at the moment and am wondering how I can set 'my' contact picture. Other contacts are coming up in SMS threads, etc. but mine isn't and I can't find where to change/add it
Anyone care to point it out (if possible)?

This does not work if you already have your contact and do an update or install another rom. The following will work.
STEP ONE:
(Skip this step if you allready have a contact for yourself in you address book!)
Add a contact called (Me, Mine, Your Name)"who ever you want" with your phones 10 digit number, Join it with Google, Facebook and set a contact picture just like a normal contact.
STEP TWO:
Navigate to the following:
Menu:
Settings:
Call Settings:
Additional settings:
My phone number:
Enter your phone number "0000000000"
And your Picture from your contact address book will apear next to your sms.
bump app will create the 'my' contact too - or it did last time I used it
Just had this issue myself.. fixed it by making sure i had the Facebook For HTC account properly syncing, then adding the friendstream widget on a homescreen and letting it sync. then my picture was everywhere I was hehe
Hope that helps yours, I dont know much about that rom
My contacts show no pictures, how can I sync it with facebook or something for pictures?

Yea, that's android for ya. Don't know a solution bro.
to place a picture for a individual contact.
go to the contact you want to add a picture to in the contact folder.
then press the three dots on the top right corner = to the menu
press edit
on the far right of the name of the contact there is a square with a face that where the picture goes.

When You Add A Contact You Can Add a picture To Him There is the photo icon choose to place your contact on google its much butter
Create a contact for yourself. And also make sure that in call settings>additional settings that you have your phone number in there aswell
