Has anyone noticed how the contact photos are very pixely and poor quality? I can confirm that the photos from Facebook are not like this which is were it is pulling them from.

Yes I did for whatever reason hi res pictures will be converted to low res once they're in Google account!? Any way to prevent this from happening?

I believe a fix for that is announced, but no idea when it will be finished.
Download an app called Haxsync from the Play Store. It will use the high resolution images. Works like a charm.

^^ This!
Once you set all of your contact photos with high quality ones use titanium backup and backup contacts/calls. Now if you flash a new rom you then just restore this and it puts the high quality photos back.
I tried that app but my photos remained low quality.. Perhaps because I use friend caster pro instead of official Facebook app?

I am also a friendcaster and Haxsync user, my phone won't change the picture unless i manually change the display picture after sync with Haxsync.
hope this helps
Thanks Kelvin. I have so many contacts manually changing each one would takes ages.

Hi everyone,
Is it just me or is the so-called high resolution contacts app not so high res after all? Despite using photos taken by my SLR camera and transferred to the GNex the photos still come up low res.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I keep trying to see what can be beamed. so far its a lot less than more.
so far:
bookmarks in the stock browser.

You can also beam Contacts you're looking at
I think you can do pictures/videos but I've yet to try
I heard you can beam Scottie up. True Story.

gallery images & videos won't transfer via Android Beam.. you can launch apps & games provided that it is installed.. if it's not installed on the other device it opens up the market link to it.. map locations can also be beamed..
i also just noticed that paypal has an NFC widget for easy money transfers.
Anything with the blue nfc app from the market

Blue NFC is a very very nice app, I will try it with my galaxy nexus and my friend nexus s
tested here with an GN and Nexus S, getting always receiption error ...
looking fine, BT starts on both devices, transfer file, closes BT on both devices,
but error receiption on target device.
normal BT transfer tested and working fine.
will try on 2 GN to see if that works.
I don't know anyone with a GN so can't test

Almost every time I open the gallery app it takes what feels like forever to load my albums. I have TWO albums, camera pics and another of some backgrounds.
Less than 300 pics in camera, with a couple of videos, and about 20 in the other album.
I've disabled Google picture sync and instant upload so I don't see the picasa albums.
Does anyone else have this problem? It's been doing it for weeks, maybe longer, (had the phone since uk launch day). Pretty annoying when I go to show someone a pic on my big shiny phone only to hold it with the spinning loading circle for 30 seconds with them saying "nice new fast phone".
I'm on stock 4.0.1

Use Quickpic in the market...the stock 3d gallery has always been slow...
What if I prefer stock gallery app ? Would rather find out why gallery takes so long to list albums, if its like this for everyone then surely it's broken?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I have 22 albums. Most of them have at least 40 images the largest has 66. They load instantly.
Andoid 4.0.3 AOKP
Did UK not get the 402 update yet?
Maybe try dividing your albums.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Don't really want to split the albums, galley 3d worked fine on my rooted desire and I had 600+ pics in the camera folder on that.
Nope, I haven't had 4.0.2 yet, still on 4.0.1 with the volume bug fix
Will have to use quickpic for now until I get updates and see if they help I guess.

After having used QuickPic for a while, it blows my mind that anybody could prefer the stock gallery app. How in the world could you possibly prefer the stock gallery? QuickPic is so much better...
I used to use quickpic for a long time on my desire, I have nothing against it, it is quick and works well. I just like the look of the gallery app, along with side scrolling.
Different tastes and all that remember

The stock ICS gallery is perfectly fine.
Quickpic looks out dated and ugly, like something from HTC.

Form over function is idiotic.
Quickpic does what it should. Default Gallery never has.
I have lots of albums and photos, stock gallery app loads all of them instantly without any issues.
Am using AOKP 4.0.3 custom rom.

Stock Gallery works fine, until it doesn't!
Can you select which folders to include/exclude with the stock Gallery yet?
Something wrong with your phone. I have 2000+ pictures in 20 different albums. It loads instantly. This is along with another 1500+ pictures synced with Picasa.
I also have Quickpix but I only use it to do some batch operations. It looks really crappy and outdated.

I'm having the same issue. Stock gallery app loads super slow, takes close to a minute to show any images. I'm using quickpic until I figure out the issue, but I also prefer the stock gallery for normal image viewing. Any ideas?
Hey guys, yes, I've done a search for this but couldn't find a solution.
How can I force high resolution images to download for my contacts? I used to use syncmypix and it'd download high res images from Facebook, but on my Galaxy Nexus they're pixelated like crazy.
Does anyone know of an app or way to correct this with ease? I don't want to go through my contacts and do this manually. Thank you!
Use haxsync it does work great

Is there a ROM with 4.03 that has a Facebook contact sync enabled please??
Gummynex has it I believe a few others do too. Its in most of the changelogs
+1 for gummy. It also has the best battery life I have experienced and zero force closes

AOKP is a good one too.

Slightly related question..
How good is this sync feature? Are the pictures high resolution? This might make me root, I've been on the fence for ages.
Alternatively you could use the HaxSync app from the market, if you trust third party. I use it, seems OK for hi-res contact photos from Facebook.
EDIT: I am on stock ICS, unrooted, etc.

Photos are NOT high res, use HaxSync for that - very good app
Facebook sync works great with AOKP. The contact pics do not appear to be high res though :/
