Hi guys, i can beam everything except sending pictures on gallery app...is this feature missing or what?
thanks!
I'm not completely sure but j believe the beam can only work for small amounts of data like links and contacts. Photos would be too big to send using beam.

They aren't "too big" per se (it's entirely possible) - it would just take a significant amount of time due to the low throughput of NFC.

Hi,
I am using a rooted Desire Z with stock rom.
I have set up images for some of my contacts. Some of them are old photos I have passed over to the phone from my pc, some from facebook, flickr and others are photos taken with the camera on the phone. All images look good in the gallery. BUT when I receive a call from one of my contacts, the image that is shown is really of poor quality. Is there any way to fix this?
I can't seem to find any settings relating to image quality for contacts.
thanks for any help
u can try to crop the image to the right size...worked for me

Only if I have someone on Google+ will it show as a normal pic. Any other way, its ALWAYS blurry. Has the issue been fixed yet?

Try Haxsync in the market.. works quite well, well worth the dollar
They need to fix this issue. Haxsync works but isn't perfect.
It's a Google Contacts from Gmail issue, not an Android related one. If the Gmail team would allow 720p pictures for Contacts over night, then I don't think it's going to be such a problem syncing those pictures with Android. Unless there's a specifier somewhere in Contacts Sync framework in Android that holds a max of 256x256 pixels (or whatever the current max is).
No it is not fixed. It is really starting to irk me.
Has the issue been addressed?

+1, works great.
There have been many complaints on this prior to the GN. Many have written directly to Google on the matter but I've yet to find where they have a fix in place or have even acknowledged that there is a problem. This is the one issue that I find extremely irritating about Android phones.
You shouldn't have to purchase a 3rd party app to fix this issue...And in my opinion HaxSync helped a bit, but still did not provide an HD quality pic (unless they've updated the app recently). FriendCaster gave the same results.
Does anyone have the issue of not seeing the contact pictures in third party apps like whatsapp and Handcent SMS?
The pictures are fine in People App but they don't show in other apps.
Anyone with the same issue or a known fix?
In handcent i just enabled it in settings an it wrks fine
Mod or Die
Yeah i did that but didnt help.

I just noticed that if i choose an image other than the facebook picture, then it will show in applications
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
my missus has the one x and has the same problem. i resolved it by downloading "friendcaster" and that allowed the facebook pictures to show in handcent/go sms
Yeah i know but i wanted to see if im not the only one. I am using syncmypix to do the job but i was wondering what might be causing the issue :/
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
apparently an ICS problem, I get the problem on my GNEX too
Yeah or it could be the apps have compatibility isuues with ics. The pictures show fine in people and dialer.

All you need to do is download the app Photo Unlocker. Your Facebook Sense photos are restricted from being used in other apps, but this app unlocks them so they can be seen in all 3rd party apps.
Edit: I noticed this app isn't in the market anymore. I have a titanium backup of it, so if anyone tells me how to get the APK from there, I can post it here.

Neither can i find any of the mentioned software, nor i received an update for whats app... Can you share the app mentioned on the previous page.
THanks.
Yeah i still havent got the whatsapp update. Heres the link for haxsync:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync&hl=en
Its the only app that worked for me cz i didnt wanna set up friend caster.
Talking about whatsapp does anyone else get the message "try again later" when sending a picture to someone?

ANy other fix on this then rather than using a 3rd party utility?
Not that i'm aware of!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yeah I have the same problem.
Whatsapp doesn't show contacts (facebook)profile pictures.
Running all the latest Market versions of Facebook, whatsapp en handheld SMS.
There are no more updates so far.
Still no profile pics in whatsapp contacts list.
Anyone has a solution by now?
And dortok, can u upload that app Photo Unlocker please?
Is it possible to do something with Facebook for HTC Sense app, like delete or whatever?? Maybe fixes it?
It says Facebook for HTC Sense version 4.0.2215172619.345324.334711
Or clicking info: Version 1.00.0101.62864
Anyone help us out???
The only solution i have found is to use HaxSync from google play! It works like a charm!
I dont like friend caster since it is an app like facebook so more traffic and more data usage. Haxsync just syncs the pics and you can specify how often.

Good luck! =)
I used an app from the play store called HaxSync, you have to pay for it but I find it so much better with it using face detection to get pictures and downloads hi-res pictures, check it out

I had this too. Edit the contact and make sure you're using the high res photo from haxsync. Mine were defaulting to the low res from friendcaster.

How do you do this? I've already got haxsync, but can't find any option for changing default picture?
It's syncing but not replace the pictures (and i tick the "force replace" pictures)
help :<
Go into your contact, click on edit contact then click in your contacts photo you can choose haxsync photo from within that.

nikzDHD : THANX A TON
Dose anyone know an app that will steal-prof my HOX ? I was using HTCSense.com with Desire HD but now it's not available anymore . I was thinking about something like send a SMS with a specific password the will lock the phone , display my contact info , turn GPS and Mobile Network/WiFi ON and delete my important data like contacts , photos , SMS , Accounts and the rest !
Avast Mobile allows you to do most of those sort of things by SMS
I use the paid version of Kaspersky. Apart from the anti-stealing features, it has excellent call blocking features. Of course, anti-virus is present.

Cerburus does alot of things like take pictures using the front facing camera, when the person who may have stole the phone trys to unlock it! Has huge list of features

Cerberus +1
One more vote for cerberus. I lost my hox in a cab and found it 40minutes after.
About call blocker, i think sense has this by default, or it is a feature of ARHD, because i see that option in mine.
Another vote for Cerberus, couldn't recommend it enough!
It's very well priced and it can work with multiple devices.
Assuming the phone is reset to factory defaults before changing sim etc...it can't be tracked?

If someone what's to steal your phone they will. No app will make it steal proof. Why don't you just encrypt it if your worried about the data.

Install Cerberus as a system app. Only way they can stop it being tracked is a full wipe and flashing a new rom. Are phone thieves that smart/knowledgeable?
technically you cant "steal proof" a phone, only track it down after its been stolen...
Just seen this thread and downloaded Cerberus straight away. What an amazing app. So many features all remotely accessed via your PC or SMS. Also love the fact that you can designate up to 3 trusted numbers (friends or family) to have messages sent to in the event of a SIM swap, and those numbers can also lock you device for you. £2.40 is nothing to pay for that amount of funcionality!
