Google fix hi res contact image..! - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Im sorry but did anyone else know that this has been fix for a while now? Pictures are crispy clear now! I just found out yesterday searching for something in another forum and well you just have to add the pictures to your contacts again and itll be perfect now, no more ugly blurriness! And what I notice is that its best to upload from your phone. I did a few on the laptop, and they were clear but somehow they came out way better when i edited the contacts picture through the phone..

Can I recover my old contact photos?

Hi there,
Got my HTC TP2 and when setting it up initially, it said it found 104 of my contacts on Facebook asking me to link them.
I said "yeah, why not" and in without thinking clicked on OK not realising that photos and birthdays were checked.
To my horror, the photos of those 104 contacts changed to be their FB photos, which in some cases, isn't helpful.
I'm guessing there's not, but does anyone know if there's a way to revert the photos back to the originals?
Cheers,
Pete
Actually I would be interetsed to know if there is a way to add the pictures WHEN we dont hve already one on the phone for teh contact... Anybody knows ?

sadly, you can only change them back by editing your Contacts entry, one at a time, either on your phone, or using Outlook on your PC then synchronize back to the phone.
I thought as much.
I've now found that some of the dates have changed by one day, but only in some cases. Now I'm going back and editing the photos AND dates.
Eeek, won't be using this feature again.

[Q] Wallpaper/Contact Converter App??

I can't believe there isn't one on the market!!
It kills me every time I take a picture with my phone it looks great in the gallery but when I use it as wallpaper the quality is terrible!!
Same with adding pictures to contacts... What's the point in adding pictures if they come up all blurry!
Just saying... I'd pay good money to get this fixed and I am sure a lot of others would as well.
Possibly an App that downsizes a picture to 960x800??
And contact pictures to 96x96(I think)?
unless somebody has a better way of doing this besides taking picture on phone, transferring to computer, converting size, transfer back to phone, add wallpaper/contact....
totally +1 for this, pretty odd there isn't a stock method to do this

[Q] Any ideas peeps?

Yeah so ive probably just been stupid and not thought of something here but anyways...
We cant sync facebook contacts anymore because facebook and google have had a lovers tiff.
I want my contacts to have pictures because it just looks lame without them.
Is there anyway of getting my facebook contacts pictures into my contact list any other without going round all my friends taking pictures of them and using photos from the gallery?
Google + is a no go because im the only god damn one that has it .
Oh and im completely stock 4.0.2 so any hax are are most likely out of the question.
Thanks for any help in advance guys! ( and gals )
Not a real good solution but you can grab each user's picture from FB or whatever and apply it to your contact within GMail. I didn't do it for everyone but I did do it for the people I contact the most.
I've heard HaxSync does that, havent tried it myself + it costs money...So...Here is a link to the app.
I use Friends Sync from the market works ok but you still need to add connection to each contact from your original contacts list bit of a pain I know
HaxSync is WELL worth the money.
HaxSync gets my vote too, worth the 89p-odd it costs

[Q] Instant upload and gallery

Hi guys.
So I've been using Instant upload for a long time now and I like the option to have extra copies of my images stored in the cloud in case something happens to my phone or something like that. Everything works great except one thing.
From time to time I get new folders in gallery, albums of pictures that are already in the main "Instant Upload" album are showing up alone. Sorted in the Y/M/D format (usually). That wasn't a big deal, I downloaded Perfect Tool for Picasa and dealt with it by deleting extra albums, and only leaving album "Instant Upload" undeleted. And for a few days everything is good again. And a few weeks back problems started, by problems I mean something that Google changed. New captured pictures are uploaded but put into the separate folders and again, sorted by date. That just looks ugly in the Gallery.
So my question is next.
Is it possible to keep the option for Instant Upload but make it not visible in the Gallery ? I'd really like that.
If there's the need to use a different Pictures Viewer, let it be.
Please, someone answer.
Thank you for reading.
I think you have to uncheck the synchronization with Instant Upload and Google Photos in accounts' settings, then clear gallery's cache if needed.
But won't that disable uploading photos to the cloud ?
Still need help with this, if anyone knows anything about how this works, please help out.
I'm having the exact same experience. Apparently it's a known issue and Google is already working on a resolution.

P.S. This is not a Gnex specific issue... it's happening on all phones.

Getting better RES images in Dialer (Android M + ) and maybe earlier OS's

Hey Guys,
Not sure if this has been posted but I couldn't find it anywhere.
Was always annoyed that when I received a call, the image was pixelated to buggery.
Anyway, I figured out that in the dialer, if you go to the "starred" tab, you see the images there of people you have called/received calls from.
Now click on the 3 dots at the top right of that contact and wait. Soon the image clears up. Go back and that's it, that contact will now have a clearer image than before.
Feel free to let me know your thoughts etc. Hopefully helps some people out.
I just use contactsyncduck. At first it was a pain on the ass because you have to enter the Facebook ID of your contacts in the notes field, but now all my contact photos are crystal clear and they update when your contacts change their profile pics.
If you ever owned an HTC phone (that ran Sense OS) the facebook ID may already be in your contact info.
Edit: I did your trick on some of my contacts that don't have Facebook and it did clear up a little. Good find
Yeah, I used to use an app like that. Think it was called Haxsync. Not all my friends are on Facebook so I ditched it.
