Is it possible to retrieve the Hero's contact phots that are connected to facebook?
With the android sdk and the function loadContactPhoto i only get the manually added photos ...
Where the facebook contact photos stored?
Is there any API in the Hero rom?
I hope anybody can help me...

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...
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
Rant over

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!

Know what you mean, completely lets the phone down. Which app did you use to do the google --> Facebook linking?

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.

That's right. The same happened to me. I felt stupid wasting so much time and energy to change things one by one.

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"
Hi guys,
As you may be know, MIUI has Facebook synchronization that can provide Contact photos using your friends profile pictures. These contact photos appear on the upper left corner of the screen when someone calls you or when you call somebody. On the other side MIUI provides caller photos which can be chosen from your Gallery and appear on full screen when someone calls you.(* Take a look at the attached picture)
My question is as follows: Is there any option MIUI to use facebook profile pictures of my friends as Caller photos not just Contact photos.
Thank you very much!
You could try sync my pix. It's in the market and it's free.

Hi, I've tried using Syncmypix but it synchronizes only my contact photos, I really want to synchronize my caller photos with the facebook ones..

Moving to Q&A
I'm having the same issue.
It's a pretty basic scenario: You sync your Facebook contacts with any of the so-many-available apps (that also allows to save very high-resolution photos), and now you want the photos to display fullscreen when the contact calls you... but, you can't. It will only display "caller" photos that are manually chosen from the local gallery. Why? because... just like that.
Anyone found a solution?
Thanks
hd contact photo maybe?
or this?

I am noticing with several of my joined contacts that I am not seeing a contact photo. They have photos through facebook but not through my other links such as Google or other programs that I have them listed as contacts. Does anyone know a way of forcing it to use the contact picture from Facebook or making that the default? In my SG3 before the JB update I was able to click on the photo and use it for the contact but that does not appear to be an option in JB.
I use Facebook contact sync from the market and it works fine

I know on the note one you had to edit the contact and choose what pic to use.

So a couple of things:
First off I'm not new to android but I am new to jelly bean (skipped from 2.3 to 4.2.2 soooo ya)
Second, I understand that google has removed the ability to sync your contact photos with facebook but, I'm running Carbon 1.4 and just yesterday I went to add a contact who I'm friends with on facebook to my gmail contact list through the people app and as I was typing her name her facebook contact popped up and I was asked if I'd like to merge the two and I did so I got her contact photo, the whole shebang. Which was highly unexpected but equivalently awesome.
But now I have the problem of in the quick settings panel there's the profiles button with, what's supposed to be my contact listing, has no picture, no number, nada also it's saved on my local "SD" not my gmail so it cannot be synced when flashing new ROMs. So when I go to edit my contact information I can add everything manually, but I have my own contact listing in my contact synced with my gmail that I'd prefer to link it to so I don't have to re-setup my own picture and stuff each time I reflash a rom.
SO my question is, is there a way to sync my personal contact information with facebook and gmail or even just gmail so the information never changes?
thank you
