[Q] Best Image format for contacts - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have all my contacts synced from Exchange Server account.
Some of them have a picture added and does not display correctly on the phone. (streched or cropped image), but some of them appear nice.
Is there a special format or size recommended that fits the screen resolution??

[Q] 2.3.4 Contact Picture messed up?

Hey guys,
Previously on 2.3.3, my contact pictures will be small but I will just have to pick a picture from my gallery, crop it to the required 16:9 and it will not swap with the tiny google ones.
I noticed now that when I pick an image from the gallery, crop it to 16:9, it will appear as it should(large) in my contacts for a second until it syncs with Google, then it is cropped back to the tiny 50x50 image again.
Anyone have a workaround for this?

Contact picture problem ( solved) (pics updated 27 dec)

Sir,
I use xperia arc 2.3.4. On changing the contact picture , it fills only one fourth part of screen i.e. we can not select whole picture. I could set full screen picture using SE sync service which is no longer available. Then , how to set full sized picture as shown below in link? Any software or cloud service??

Do you use Gmail? Gmail only allows 50x50 profile pictures, else you will have to disable sync.

[Q] Contact's Photographs

Hello everyone,
Well, I'm storing my contacts through Gmail account.
However, as long as I register a contact I upload its photo from facebook!
From that time on, every contact stands with its photo as header which means it's displayed on top of the contact info.
Unfortunately, as long as we sync it with Gmail account, the photo gets resized to a smaller size and it gets displayed as a square (not as header anymore) on the left corner of contact info.
My question is: Is it possible to revert those images to the standard size?
Thanks
As I know.. Nope!
I'm not sure

I hate that pixelized square lol
If you store the contact to the phone it retains any full size photos. Leaving them on sim card makes all photos smaller

When I'm storing it I have to options:
1. Phone Contacts
2. Google Contacts
As I wanted them synchronized, I've chosen Google Contacts to all my entries. However, As long as I synchronize it, I'll get a small picture of each contact which's the one that's on Gmail Account
Is it impossible to get the standard size back?

[Q] JB High-resolution contact photos?

I read that one of the features of JB is high-resolution contact photos. I'm on JB now but I don't seem to be able to make high-resolution contact photos appear on the People app. I tried changing the contact photos on Google through a computer but after sync the photos still appear blurry in the People app of my GNex. I know I can get a high resolution photo to appear by changing them directly on my phone by selecting an image in Gallery, but this trick has been around since ICS. So what does 'high-resolution contact photos' mean in JB?
From what I have experienced, the first time you set up your contact photos from the contacts app (i.e. going into the contact --> edit --> set picture from gallery) google will keep that high resolution picture backed up in it's database. So let's say you set up your contacts, wipe your data, and load a new or stock rom. Then your contact app will repopulate the original high-res images you set in the first place, not the 256x256 resolution or whatever that they used to keep backed up before JB.

Hd contact pictures look like a Commodore 64 image

Hello,
i have a problem.
My contacts are sync with google account. I have some HD image as profile for some contact.
When I check contact's profile I can see only image in low resolutions.
During a call I can see only a small circle, in a big white screen, with a low resolution image of my contact.
Yesterday I have inserted a new contact. I maked a new photo, choosed google account, saved the contact. And now I have only a low resolution image !
There is any fix to it ? It happens only to me ?
Thank you all !
