Hi guys
Loving the one x, but how do you get higher quality photos to sync in the people app and widget? I remember I had same issue on my old desire but can't remember the fix....

it's a google issue, see here:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/109941711245243963357/posts/YBMTuysqm3B
even though the google PM acknowledged the issue and confirmed there's someone "working on it", i suspect they won't make a move until Google Drive is launched....you know, the Google cloud stuff
ICS supports 256x256 contact image size but Gmail only knows 96x96..hence the blurry **** we're seeing on our shiny new HD screens Even the fruit-phone has the same issue if contacts are sync-ed w/Google....
go figure....
I know in the past "facebook for htc sense" and normal facebook would interfer with eachother, and normally facebook for htc sense would give the high quality pics. But now the pics of facebook don't show in my contacts, only a few... And after that, how can i get a photo in messages of the person who i send a message too, it does not do that automaticly?
I also can't seem to find facebook for htc sense in accounts? I can see twitter for sense, but only one facebook? Is that true now?

yes that's possible.
Use the app "Facebook Sync" and it will do the rest
Thanks, but i need a program code not an app!
I want to read the already stored facebook photos (Hero do this) into my programmed app.
With the standard SDK from android i dont get the photos..
HTC overrides the normal contact photo with the facebook one, try to look at the contact database probably you find something
Thank you i will look into the contacts database.
But curious why the loadContactPhoto only gets the manually added..
In case that HTC overrides the normal contact photo with the facebook photo, loadContactPhoto should get also the facebook photo...

loadContactPhoto will grab what *android* has set as the contact's photo. However, the facebook integration is an HTC addition, so there is no android API to grab it. An illustration of this: A contact in my phone has a facebook pic associated with it. I look at that same contact in my GMail's GTalk list, and it shows the manually set pic. So the HTC People app chooses its own pic from either Facebook or the Google Contact pic.
This may change in Eclair, as android 2.0 will have facebook integration included. HTC may have gone with the android API over their own, I'm not sure.
Thanks, i know, but i have seen other apps that are display the facebook photo on the HTC Hero on there app. For example Handcent SMS...
So there must be a way to grab this HTC facebook photo...
Does nobody knows how to get the HTC Hero Facebook photos?
I personally don't know. Try contacting the dev for ChompSMS or Handcent. I know those two pull the facebook pics.
Thanks i already had send an email, but until now no response...
Hey guys, finally tried Cyanogen and WOW. Been up all day and night playing around with it but haven't found any way to sync Facebook contacts like the HTC Sense Facebook app. Damn, HTC really pulled that app off well.
I realize that I can try another custom ROM but this seems to be the bees knees. Any help for this Cyanogen newb would be greatly appreciated. Happy holidays!
Facebook for Android can sync all your friends to contacts or only sync existing contacts.

Hm.. I'll tinker around with it a bit more. It's not updating the contact pictures immediately. Dialer is a little lack luster compared to the Sense one but I'll be content if I can get the contact pictures to update without much fuss.
Thank you!

it really doesnt do a good job tho. you have to have your contacts saved as their exact name on fb - which can be annoying. Plus, sense gets hi res pics as opposed to blurry fb app pics.
i used to have an app by which you could manually sync your contacts to fb - but i dont have it any more and cant remember the name
anyone know the app?

There were a couple that I recall..... but I don't recall the names either lol. I used them on my Xperia X10.
It seems that Sense has put "Notes" in all the contacts and binds them to the respected Facebook profiles, even if you manually link it to another account. My wife has an English and a Vietnamese name for instance. And it's a nuisance when an old broken image of her from my SD card pops up. HTC Sense was fantastic for this.
Maybe someone will be willing to port it over. I have some ****ty coding skills and was looking into doing a few Android apps. Maybe I could figure something out but I doubt it.
*** EDIT ***
Nevermind... turns out the Sense Dialer is heavily tied into the Sense framework. Looks like I may need to look at another customer firmware. I never knew how attached to the Social phonebooks and other Social aspects of my Android phones.
If I sync google contacts I get grainy images, so I only have phone contacts shown and I attach photos and they look nice and crispy, however I can't find a way for facebook linked people photos to show up in high quality.
I tried syncmypix but it did nothing and furthermore it attached wrong thumbs to wrong contacts.
I understand this is a known sense bug, anyone know a way around issue?

WFM. Are you referring to Facebok for HTC Sense, or Facebook?
Both. I have completely disabled Facebook in Account & Sync and only left Facebook for HTC Sense. A bit better but still grainy, fuzzy images.
Dunno. I had this myself, but it fixed itself somehow.
Hi,
Couldn't find discussion about it here.
Not sure if its cause screen resulotion, but i hate seeing my contacts so pixelate.
I've tried Sense 4.0 included sync, tried HaxSync to max resolution, same.
Is there any solution to it ?
no way the picture in Facebook itself is so low quality
Checked the small thumbnail on facebook and its 200 × 150 pixels with 72ppi.
This might work. I haven't tried it.
it does update gmail contacts from the phone directory, i hove too much contact to sync with.
Nothing with Facebook ?
Well, i guess its HTC specific issue with HaxSync

Can I please get a definite statement, if HD Contact Pics are syncing back to Google Contacts in JB?
I searched far and wide, but there are conflicting reports. It should be in there, as mentioned on those Google I/O slides, that now 720x720 are possible. But does it work also in a way that those are stored also in Google Contacts? Coz before I always had the problem, when flashing a new ROM and restoring my contacts from Google Contacts afterwards, that the pics come back pixelated.
I'm not interested in an on-phone solution, like those that are available in the market. Just wanna know, if this year-long problem is finally fixed in Android. Thanks!

Nope, not from Gmail contact pictures.
If the person has a G+ account then it'll be higher res, but gmail contact picture sync still sucks.
will google ever fix this crap? people have been complaining since 2008

This is what I'm seeing too.
But I'm seeing that once I add a picture while on JB, the photo is high res.
The new high res congtact pictures are useful only with contacts who habe google+ , the rest of the contatcs looks like crap, im gonna ask some friends to change their gmail picture now to see if from the moment of the announcement the new pictures are stored in good quality
It seems to be working for me if you add the pictures to the contacts ON YOUR PHONE (i.e. in Contacts in Jelly Bean) instead of through Gmail on the web. If I attached pictures through Gmail on the web, the pictures were resized.
JellyBean is still not officially released yet, so we shouldn't be surprised that not everything is "perfect" yet.
