save the contact pictures on you phone then edit each contacts and change the picture to wherwe you save the new pictures on your phone . and it will be ok.
outlook makes the pictures look low res, & when you reconnect phone to pc it will not get rid of the new pictures.
but the correct res is 256x256 @ 72 DPI
I got this device a week ago and loving it but has anyone else encountered this problem? I just noticed it and its rather annoying. The pic i was trying to use was taken with the camera and pic was not blurry when viewed in albums. I've also taking pic in lowest resolution but still came out blurry on caller id. Help anyone?
yes, I have this problem too, would love to see a solution ... ?
did you sync with activesync? I have a feeling activesync reencodes the jpeg.
So this is what happens - and this happens every time I put a new ROM or change phones
1. I always synch with Activesync, so the pictures are kept in my Outlook.
2. When I sync the pictures are blurry. If I put a new picture in Outlook, it still comes blurry on my phone.
3. If I put a new picture on my phone and then sync, then - all is fine - pictures are sharp and crisp and they stay like that until I put a new ROM and have to sync from scratch
There is something fishy in the way outlook stores these pictures may be.
does anyone have a fix for this???
That happened to me with the stock rom but when I switched to one with Manila 2.5, they're more clearer because it doesn't use the flipping notebook layout of the older style.
I would rather not flash a new rom to this phone... Is there a cab file out there that can fix this?
I had this problem on my Diamond
What you need to do is go to the people screen in touchflo and add the contact pictures from there, and it saves them as high res and will then sync them as normal
If you add your contact pictures from the outlook contacts program or from Outlook on your PC, then they are saved at a lower res
So I save the pictures to the memory card and then in the People tab, add the picture from there?
Blurry Fav Pics
Well as long as you add the pic to the contact from the People area of the touchFlo, you will be able to pic a section of the pic, (crop it), which then keeps it high res... I had the same problem too... I dont know if you have t-mobile, but it is kind of the same concept as the myfaves icons...
Yes, I think I read somewhere that if you save your contact pictures to msd card, it'll be higher res.
Here it is:
# Hi Res Contact Photos
Assign contact photos on your SD card directly to specific contacts for hi-res thumbnails. If you assign contact photos in Outlook and then sync, the contact photos on your phone will be low-res.
While we're talling about high-res pictures, here's another tip:
# Improve Photo Thumbnail Resolution in Photo Tab
Modify or tweak a photo (such as adjusting brightness) using a image editor directly on your HD (eg: Resco Photo Viewer) and save and overwrite the original. This makes the photo thumbnails on your Photo Touchflo 3D tab hi-res instead of low-res.
I have a t-mobile branded version of the tp2 and thanks for your responses. One more thing to add, when scrolling thru contacts in touch flo is it normal for pics to be blurry and take a few seconds to sharpen out?

It does not matter where the images are actually saved initially, it's just important to add them from TouchFlo and not from outlook/contacts
I don't sync with ActiveSync, but use Funambol instead - created a free account and used clients for Outlook and PPC.
Now I can sync from every location to internet and back - works great! (Also you can sync with many PCs while Activesync cannot even handle two PCs)
I am a newbie to this forum, how can I add the contact pics via touchflo. The pics are all blurry in my contact. They look sharp in album view

Yeah, I've been doing that and the pictures are a little bit blurry also and I thought that's what people are talking about. It must be because the People tab zooms on the picture a little.

I don't have that many contacts pictures... BUT when I scroll through pictures in Album, I have a similar effect. The next picture appear slightly blurry at first and then sharpens out in about 1 sec.
Think it's a Windows thing... experienced the same thing in Vista sometimes as well if I scroll BACK and the file size is big (scrolling forward give a sharp picture immediately).

Use the slider from the home screen to go to the People tab. This is really the "favourites", and will be blank unless you have already input some of your contacts.
Either add the contact, or go to the one you want to change, then press menu at the bottom, and a list comes up and "change picture is the bottom one.
Select your picture, move the highlighted box or zoom in/out to get the crop you want, then then save.
NOTE: if you go into the contacts, or into "all people" and change the picture, then it will be blurry. This must be done from the People tab from the home screen
touch HD solution for Pro 2
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_tboy2000
this link from the blackstone wiki will show you some tips that are actually usefull for both phones since they have such a similar platform.
I've had both the HD and now the Pro 2.
(lost my HD yesterday)
Look at Hint 8.
a.
As we all know the unresolved low resolution contact photos bug still exists in Android, even after 2+ years. By this I mean if you sync your contacts with Google then you only get the 75x75 pixel contact photo show up when you call/get called by someone, all pixellated and horrible.
I found a workaround for this somewhere on XDA which works - create a new "phone" contact with a nice high res pic for each person, and then link it to your Google contact, selecting the high res picture as the default.
Unfortunately I didn't set up my Facebook for Sense yet. If I do this now, will the phone overwrite my preference for the "phone contact" picture with a Facebook picture? Meaning I would have to go through each contact again, selecting the "phone contact" pic? I don't have time to go through all these again, I'd rather not bother with Facebook for Sense...
I don't know for sure, since my Facebook for Sense is all setup, but I'm pretty sure it will overwrite it when you sync with it, yes. I changed some of my contact pictures from their Facebook pics to some other ones, but next time I sync'd Facebook it went back to the Facebook pics.
I got my DHD for Xmas, and the snafu with the photos is unbelievable.
Not only my phone WON'T remember that I have chosen a mobile/google photo for a contact, and instead reverts to fB, but also the fact that it uses a low-res pic is not simply a bug - it's idiotic. The funny thing is that for a while, at least for a specific contact, it kept a nice high-res photo...
Argh!
Not sure if this is where i should be posting, But im looking to find the original blank contact image thats shown when you have no picture for your contact. some of my contacts are being synced with really low res pictures and its bothering me a lot. I would rather unsync the pictures, but that doesnt seem to be an option in jellybean. I was just hoping i could manually set each of the low res ones back to a picture of the original blank contact image. Thanks
The pictures I have for my contacts are all synced with my Facebook pictures. The contact pictures are visible when scrolling through people, but in my favourites group, they are absent. Same thing goes with my People widget. The contact pictures are not visible. Does anyone have the same problem or knows how do help?
