Poor quality contact pics

I've uploaded a few pics for profiles. they look great on the screen but when I choose them for profiles the quality goes massively downhill (really pixilated / blocky).
anyone else finding this?
thanks

I have also found this and tough it isn't a solution, i can say that if you use the facebook pic (by linking the contact to their facebook) then the pic is good quality.

ummmm, good shout but I'm not really a Facebook user.
seems ridiculous that we can't make use of the fantastic screen!
I'm sure there must be s solution!

I've got this problem too, most annoying. I've discovered this post on another forum, not so much a solution just an explanation of why it happens.
Disclaimer: This refers to the Hero, which suffers from the same problem. Hopefully this solution works on the Droid too.
I was just playing around with this for a while, and I think I know what's going on. More importantly, I have a fix, albeit an annoying one. bruceo touched on it with his reference to the cloud and disabling sync. Google Contacts images are natively 96x96. Enlarged contact photos on the Hero (when a call is inbound/outbound) look to be roughly 210x210.
I put a 320x480 image on my card (Hero's native res) and made that a 210x210 contact image using the default crop square on the phone. It looked fine at first, but 5 minutes later it looked horrible.
I suspect Google Contacts is syncing with the phone, but at the same time it's downscaling the photo to fit within the 96x96 Google Contacts constraint. The next time your phone and Google Contacts communicate, the filesizes don't match, so voila... latest timestamp wins and your phone pulls the new image from Google Contacts. Now your contacts list (on the phone) is referencing a 96x96 image for a 210x210 display... and the end result is ugly.
If you disable syncing between your phone and Google Contacts (Settings>Data Synchronization>Google>Contacts - uncheck), the image will NOT be overwritten. Of course the downside is you will need to make any future changes in both locations. But hey, at least your pictures won't look horrible.

I have the same problem with my HTC Touch HD. Any picture that is selected for a contact is reduced in quality. Must be a HTC thing not android.

I don't sync my contacts with google but the profile pictures are sill pixalated.

Synching with Outlook 2007 also degrades the image as it can't handle the higher quality images so degrades them, then would synch that lower quality image back to the phone

is there any workaround? When adding the pictures to the phone via phone, they are very sharp, but as soon as you sync with outlook or google, the pictures become very pixelated...
in addition, my facebook pics look a little bit sharper - however, my contacts do not update with the latest contact pictures...

This is the workaround i've used, not ideal but it does work
Here's the workaround for HTC Desire (and probably for other devices with Sense UI):
You should create additional contact and save it in phone memory. Contact info can be empty and it's not important what name you'll choose.
Then you should add a photo for this contact.
Next step is to create a link in People between this new contact and that one stored in Gmail account. By pressing Menu key during link creation you have access to options to choose name and photo for this "linked contact". You should choose photo from "Phone".
The result is you have high quality photo in your caller ID!
Also, you have duplicate contacts: one from Google account (but it's still synchronized!! , second from your phone internal memory. But it's not a problem - you won't see those duplicates as long as they're linked.

This works great, thanks!
Its ridiculous that we even need to do this! Is there an app / automatic workaround that can sort the contact image quality?!

Outlook/Activsync
Does anyone know of a work around or fix for syncing HC photos with outlook... I'm using the HD2 which principle should be the same....
I'm currently using the workaround, of storing a HD 270x270 photo on SD card... This method is tooo time constraining.. Rather do in outlook.
I would hate to have to redo over 250+ contacts when I update the rom.

now i'm stuck with those crappy icons as well. last times, when i used MyBackup Pro to retore my contacts it restored them to the phone's memory (where it got them from), but these times it just forces itself on my google account and here we go: blurry contact pics.
is there still no solution to this? this size is really really bad

Remember to export the phone contacts otherwise you will need to add them manually in case of factory reset.

There is kind of.....
The problem as stated many times before is Gmail down-scaling the pic to rubbish, seems people are having the same problem with Outlook 2007. I only just started to have this problem when I moved all my contacts from Outlook 2010 to Gmail. Outlook 2010 handles a larger picture for contacts and I never experienced this problem until moving to Gmail for my contacts so I didn't have to use a cable to Sync >> Crap idea, I would rather have to sync once a week via cable then get the crappy contact pics!!
If Gmail handled a larger contact pic we all would be sorted!

Unfortunately, this is a limitation with Outlook and there is no workaround at the PC end.

Low resolution photo in People App (contacts)

Hi,
I read somewhere that ICS can have high res contact photo in the People App, but only when synced with Google+.
Is that true?
That means, if you don't sync with Google+, and utilizing only Google Contacts (GMAIL Contacts), you will get low resolution 96x96 from Google Contacts.
So, how do you add the Google+ profile of your contact in the People App?
Do you add it manually? Or the People App will automatically search and pick one for you?
Because, if we can add the G+ profile manually, I think we can have workaround by creating G+ profile for them manually !

This is a right f**k up pain in the ar5e problem that could probably be easily fixed by google.
I used an external app to link all my google contacts to my facebook contacts thus providing pictures, its better to do it that way because if I install a custom rom that requires a wipe I dont have to re-link the contacts.
Unfortunately about 0.5% of my phone contacts and facebook friends have google plus so i've no idea how to get around it.
ICS looks so cool and polished only for someone to ring me and present me with a picture that looks like its come out of a 1980's pong game. grrr

Make sure you have your IRL friend in your normal Android/Google contacts, then if you add your manually created "friend" on Google+ there will be 2 separate contacts on your phone - one for phone, one for G+.
If you go to the "phone" contact and select "edit" in the menu then on the next page there will be an option to "Join" in that menu.
If you then select the G+ contact, it will be joined to the phone contact as one user with phone number and G+ pic!
Or I think you can just manually add a photo to the contact but I haven't tested whether that is definitely hires or not.

All my contacts are on Google Contacts. I've assigned photos from Picasa but they still look crap...
Why Why Why..

I think you can manually change contact photo with high res one.
But, once you synced with Google Contacts, it will be replaced with the low res from Google Contacts.
I wish there is an option to just disable contact photo sync, photo only.
Or, is there any clever developer who could create an app to simply replace all contact photos with user selected one?
I could imagine the app would work like this:
. The app works like the contact app, when started it will show you contact list
. Then you can assign photo manually to each contact
. App will remember this assigment
. Woth one button hit, the app replaced all contacts pgoto with the assigned one
So, every time after we synced with Google Contact, we simply run the app, hit the replace all contact photos button, and we are done!
Okay, any dev out there? I will pay premium for this kind of app!

a much easier way is to get a decent sized pic of your contact and save it to your phone and then edit contact > edit pic > select new pic. simples! - they DO NOT have to be from Google+ at all!
Hope that helps!

Not quite true. As soon as you sync your contacts with Google it sends them to the cloud which uses 96x96 photos. For some reason these then get used on the phone.

In my experience the phone will keep the high res contact picture, but if you delete your contacts for whatever reason (e.g. factory reset) then restoring from Google Contacts will bring back the low res versions.
The Google+ versions seem to work with high res photos, but since only about 4 or 5 of my "real life" friends actually use Google+ this is a bit pointless for me.
This is a problem with Google Contacts only saving low res pics, and it has been a request from the community to upgrade these for absolutely ages. So far it has gone unnoticed, which I presume is because of the focus on using Google+.
There seems to be a lot of duplicated features now G+ has come out, such as Picasa/G+ Photos; GTalk/Messenger; Google Contacts/G+ Contacts; and these really need to be consolidated which will hopefully iron out issues such as these.

guys how do I edit a contact on the phone?
Ive gone into the people app, gone into the contact and even long pressed but I cant see to edit the contact?
I want to assign a high res photo to the contact from a photo in my gallery. Is this possible?

I really don't understand why they didn't turn long press on in the People App. Having to reach all the way at the top of the screen to get to "Menu" icon and then "Edit" takes a lot more effort especially when you have to edit a lot of contacts.
Anyhow. Do you guys know whether all the "linking" I made to each and every single contact to its Twitter or Google+ account will be sync'ed or backed up on Google's server? Thinking about installing custom ROM.

Does anyone know how to link contacts from within the phone (like when you have multiple contacts like with Whatsapp adding its own version of the contact)?

Took me a day to figure this out myself. Haha. Go to "Edit" under the menu button for that contact, then hit once you're in the edit mode, hit menu button once again, then hit "Join"

Is there anyway to make my contact pictures have better quality?

I thought this problem would be fixed in ICS, but I guess it has not yet been fixed. I installed SyncMyPix and that hasn't worked. I turned off auto sync contacts and tried SMP again and still I got huge blurry pics. Is there anything I can do about this problem?

Put the high res files on your phone and assign them to contacts there. It's annoying, but it's the only way ivy gotten it to wprk.

That's way too much work for all my contacts. Also, I would like to have their latest photos from Facebook and what not.

I think we'll be waiting for FB to update their app to properly support the People API... sigh.

i find that, if your people has links to google+ (with the same name that it has tag it automatically), you will still need to go into people app for it to cache a High Resolution photo first, before it will work on the dialler.

Considering that they didn't want to use the Android API for contact sync before I wouldn't be surprised if they don't enable that feature for a long time. They never used the normal API which is why it was blocked.

for fb , i use friendcaster.. it has high res sync capability

I've still found that Friendcaster's syncing doesn't give pictures of a truly decent resolution, they're just a little less blurry than usual.

Keep in mind the high-res contacts =256x256 on a 1280x720 screen so I don't thinks they're ever going to look crystal clear.

I read this a while back. Make a phone only contact with a picture of the party. Now link that contact with the synced contact. Now choose to use the phone only contact picture. Not sure if that works.

Yea Facebook reduces the contact icons. So you'll never get a REAL HD image from Facebook unless you actually grab some of their uploaded pictures from their photo album... but it will require more work to get it right.
Facebook Sync, IMO, is good and bad. I LOVE the feature as it quickly populates my contacts with images. I HATE it because sometimes I look for the images through a list, and if it changes often, can make it harder. Sorta like theming your App Drawer.
Typically what I do is Sync with my social media to get the majority of contacts synced up. But I usually manually add photos of my most popular contacts with ones I've taken with my phone's camera.
Manual contact photos sync with Google along with your contacts... so you really only have to do it once.

Anyone know to who or where we can request an update of Google Contacts? Asking to increase the resolution to 256x256. Same resolution as supported by ICS.
Or an option to not sync photo. That's also ok.

Low Res images in the people app

Hi there, did a search but couldn't find anything.
Is there a reason why the image which appears on the top of each persons people contact is so low resolution? I have replaced some of the images of people on there with high resolution pictures but it just low res's them again!
Very annoying on a phone with such a nice screen.

Been wondering the same thing. There is no reason to make them low res, so it must be a bug of some sorts.

Not sure what the exact solution to this is and I find it annoying too. I do however use haxsync and merge my phone contacts with their facebook profiles and that keeps them in a decent quality (well, as good as thier facebook profile picture at least). Not a ideal solution but it kinda works..
(Haxsynx also does other stuff, such as showing facebook status updates and history on contacts info but that part doesnt appear to work with the Sense people app, I was standard ICS contacts.. :/ )

The standard people app does it as well, if the phone contact is linked to the facebook one. I know for sure because I have spent an hour unlinking them one by one, as I hate FB messing with my phone contacts.

If you're on about pictures you sync yourself then they go to the Google server where they become nice los res pictures as Google has screwed it up. Syncing to Facebook is a bit better but not perfect...Google+ seems to be the best resolution for contact pictures IMO

Remove the picture and re-attach it. I dont know why it happens but after a few tries, it will attach your picture with the proper resolution

This was an issue for me as well, but Haxsync on Google Play fixes it beautifully. It can force/sync high quality photos from Facebook.

You can try to create a new contact with the photo on "phone" (only photo in it), remove the photo from the "google" contact (if you already have one in it) and leave only the particulars like name and phone numbers, then link the "phone" contact to the "google" contact.
This means google will only sync the particulars from your "google" contact and leave the "phone" contact intact, so you will always have an uncompressed photo.

I manually re-attached hi res pictures and disabled Google contacts sync from Accounts & sync > Google > Sync contacts but they still look terrible when I open the contact details or I receive a call. Any ideas why the hi res pictures are not displayed? I also tried to take a picture directly whit the camera and use it as contact picture but still low res. I had the same issue with my Incredible S but manually re-attach hi res pictures worked in that case.

Do u also have to enable standard facebook account for haxsync to work?
Because it gets automatically enabled when u first log in to haxsync.

[Q] Poor picture quality on contacts

Hi everybody,
I just bought an HTC One X two days ago, which is a wonderfull device, but I have an issue ...
I'm syncing my contacts/mail/calendar with an Exchange server (I don't think it is related, but I prefer to tell), which downloads the contact pictures correctly. But they are of low resolution and poor quality. I go to edit the contact, I browse the gallery to 700x700 picture, choose it, and save the contact, but picture quality remains unchanged ... As if it was downsizing it and lot of jpeg artefacts on compression ...
Do you have the same issue and do you have some solutions ?
Thanks !

Hello, i have the same issue here.
Photo from contact are pixelated and have really bad quality.
It looks like the thumbnail has been upscaled ...
And i have no solution.

There is an app called friendcaster that will sort it

This app is called "Friendcaster for Facebook", but my problem has nothing to do with Facebook, in fact I don't want to use facebook at all ...
I just want to put highres pictures on my Exchange contacts, not more ...

Try haxsync from market and see if it solves ur problem....

I´ve created a folder in DCIM, called it contact pics and transfered all my contact pics to there. After this i´ve reworked the contact informations, that they take the pics out of this folder. Now i have always clean and sharp pics. They weren´t synced btw. changed by Google. Titanium backup restores this path after installing a new rom.

How did you do that ? I don't find this in the contacts parameters, where do you tell it the folder where it should search for the contacts pics ?
(I'm actually thinking this could be related to the 256x256 contacts picture size hardcoded in android ...)

It is. Whenever your contacts sync with Google they are resized and synced back to your device.

I´ve choosed rework in contacts, then click on the little upper photo and choose albums and the file in the created folder on my sd card. After this i had always clean & sharp contact pics.

So what you're saying here is that you copy all the pictures to the phone memory, then go into each contact manually and assign a picture? I really can't be bothered doing this for 130+ contacts, and not be able to sync it with e.g. Outlook to keep a backup.
It there would be an app to do this automatically, given the photo file name is the same as the contact name - that would be useful indeed.

Looking for a solution also. Maybe contacts.apk need to be modified to change picture resolution for contacts.

the solution is in Google's hands which doesn't seem to give a **** for YEARS now.
latest thread on the saga is here:

they eventually gave up after some indians working for Google teased everyone with a solution, they shut up for the next 5 months...typical.
it's ****ing pathetic, everyone should flood Rubin's and all executives accounts with this issue.
long story short: ICS supports 256x256 contacts image size (up from 96x96) but Google Mail doesn't.
that's why our contact pictures once sync-ed with Gmail look like ****. Even the iPhone is affected by this....if you sync it with Google Mail.
they don't consider it a top priority, otherwise it would've been fixed like this:
