Anybody seen an issue where if you try to change a contact picture or create a new picture, it always reverts to one particular picture? My GF was just trying to change her contact picture of me and noticed it after she changed it, it went to a picture of her niece that was originally pulled from Facebook on an entirely different contact. I checked and sure enough every contact she tries to add with a pic gets assigned that same pic. I tried removing Facebook and changing it and still a no go. Any ideas?
Anybody with suggestions???? Anybody?????

Dear Friends,
I noticed that since manila 2.1.1919 (LEO) (probably), the contacts picture doesn't updated. Means if any of my friends change their profile picture in their facebook, their new picture wont show up in my contact. I've tried to update, but no luck. Only their status are updated.
Anyone has the same issue? any fix for this?

I'm using stock att rom and manila 2.1.1918 and had a similar issue when linking the profiles for the first time, and updating the pic the contacts pictures wouldnt load at all, i removed the link b/t the facebook and contact and instead of having it auto locate which contact i chose it from the list and that worked. i know its a dif version, but figured I'd share my experience
I thought I had the same issue but it turns out that it just takes a while. Once you set it to update move back to the home tab and then go back. pic should be updated
i've tried that, but still no picture update. The status did update.
I'm not sure if this will work, but I figure my 2 cents might help.
I had a similar problem as well.
Now that you have a connection with the facebook profile... Go into your contact list, select any contact that is asscociated with a profile (via Automatic Pairing or Manual). Select "Edit Contact" (shoulr be under the "Information" Bar). Touch the area where the "Photo" should be. Select "Facebook Profile."
I have had a few that I had to do this to, but once I did this, they change by themselves as people change them on their profiles... I believe it updates every 2 hours or something.
Worth a try, at least.
Hi,
I came across problem with caller id photo quality is poor. It is blurry because stretched up.
This happen when you sync with Google Contact, because your original high-res caller id photo is replaced with Google Contact 96x96 size.
Is this still happening with Desire?

Noone is using Google contacts with photo having this issue?
I am having this problem. I think it only happens when you use the camera to take a photo when editing contacts. If you choose a photo instead of opening the camera to take a new photo, you will have the option to crop the photo and the resolution seems much better. I just tried it last night and it seems to work.
Later edit:
When you link it to the Google account, it scales it down to a very bad resolution.
it also happens when you link your contacts with facebook accounts

Ugh, this is not good. I just went over to the google forums, and see that this issue has been open for a long, long time.
Has anyone found any workarounds, especially for using the FB sync problem with Caller Id Photos?
I also have this problem, only on a Hero. The problem occurred when I flashed a 2.1 ROM on it. Sometimes the photos are blurry, and sometimes they disappear completely, replaced by the generic photo.
It seems to change when I connect/disconnect from wifi, but not every time.
Just thought I'd add the info, even though it's not on a Desire.
Something I've noticed about the People app is that once it has retrieved a profile picture from Facebook, it never updates the contact if they change their Facebook picture. It pulls in newly added people, but all existing friends retain their original picture. This is even a couple of weeks after a picture has been changed.
Not a really big deal, but one friend had a pretty terrible picture up when I first got the phone and it makes me wince a bit when they call.

Go to People app, search that friend, tap on him. New screen comes up, there's a Linked sign on top right. Tap that. New screen comes up, there, at the left side, you'ill find the photo, and there's an arrow pointing down. There you can set which photo you want to use (google, camera, or Facebook).
I have the same problem, but doing this still doesn't update the Facebookpic, and that's all I want to do since the contact now have changed her picture to a more bareable one
I've got the same problem. What I did to fix this was went into my sync settings removed my sync with facebook for htc and re entered my facebook details. Unfortunately it seems that I have to do it every time to updater facebook pics

That's exactly the problem - what you see there is the picture the Facebook contact had at they were first synced in, not the current picture.
such a shame cos the the HD2 did update properly
Hello,
I'm new to this forum but have done a google search for my problem. It seems like it's still an ongoing problem that doesn't have a solution as of yet.
My problem/issue is with MMS messages that contain more than one picture. I've got handcent and the original messaging app that came with my droid incredible.
The best way I know to describe the problem in detail is to give an example. Let's say I received an MMS message that contained 10 pictures. With handcent, I would download the message and it would/could come in in different ways. Sometimes it'll only show me the first picture(view thru some sort of picture manager), sometimes it would show me the first and last as some sort of a movie, and then sometimes it would show the entire set of pictures in a movie type format that would last for 1-2 minutes give or take with no way of scrolling from picture to picture. However, unless it shows all the pictures in a movie type format there is no way to view every picture unless I go into the messaging app that came on the phone.
When using the messaging app on the phone the MMS message comes in in 1 of 2 ways. The first is a slideshow that shows every picture with an option to scroll from picture to picture. I'm pleased with this and would like all of these types of messages to come in this way. The second is the pictures come in as attachments. With this I'm only able to view the picture one by one. I have to click on what picture I want to view then choose between "View or save to SD card" then choose how to complete the action by choosing between "View picture or ASTRO Image Viewer".
My question is why doesn't all MMS messages like this not automatically come in as a slideshow where I can manually flip between pictures, either with the messaging app that came with the phone or with handcent? Is this a droid issue, specific phone issue, etc.? Is there a system setting that needs to be changed or a phone update I need to do? I had an LG Dare before this phone and all messages like this came in in slideshow form and I could flip between each picture.
This is the only problem I'm having with this phone. It's rooted and I'm running RR rom. I just want to be able to view each and every picture by scrolling or thumbing through the message. It's just amazing to me that a phone with this capability would have an issue like this
Thanks for any help!

does anyone have an answer?
i got a pretty annoying bug as of lately. Everytime i try to update a contact's picture on my at&t s3 it updates it to the same picture every time. This happens every time with every contact i try to change. I even deleted the original picture that keeps duplicating and it still updates to that same photo! The only way around this bug that i have found is to update my pictures on google contacts from my web browser. However when i do that all the pictures come out all fuzzy because of the low res. anyone have this same issue?
