i know there is the hd contacts app (i have downloaded it but haven't started using it yet), but i was wondering what does everyone else use for having clearer contact photos than the standard google resolution???

I use standard contacts application. Now it can store hd images for contacts, starting from 4.1.2 as I remember.

When using HTCSENSE for facebook, and linking contacts my contacts have their facebook picture with a little facebook icon in the corner. This annoys me almost as much as the poor quality of photos. I looked around but can't find anything about this. I browsed some of the directories trying to find the facebook image file so I could replace it but no luck. Anyone whos explored the deep abyss they call Sense care to help?

This is helpful.. but not what I meant.
That option is turned off for me already. What I am talking about is when you link a contact to their facebook profile. ( so that their picture gets changed etc) it shows the tiny blue facebook icon which is an annoyance. There must be a way we can find that image in the filesystem and replace it with a transparent image to get rid of it... I just can't locate it.

Ahh... I see what you mean. Don't know if that's possible to be removed as it's tied to facebook, but then again, anything is possible in these forums.

I know, I just stumbled upon these and some of the stuff here is nuts. Loving it though and I am keeping hope that someone will know the trick!
If you go in to people, click the person you want to change picture. Click the Link on the top right. Then you can click on the contact photo, and you have the option to change the photo. Hope this helps.

Get over it. It's tiny.
As far as the quality of the images, even if you upload your own, it'll be bad. That's just how it is.

Thanks, but I know this. The whole point is I want the pictures to sync with facebook but without that little F icon.
Lol @ get over it. What is the point in trying to flame me? I want my phone to be aesthetically pleasing as possible.. thats why I got rid of my bb.
Well syncing it with the actual facebook app doesnt leave the little corner mark, but syncing it without the HTC Sense facebook really sucks, looks like your in a dilemma. If you dont care about the extras you get from HTC Sense facebook you can try the normal one.

I didn't know I could sync with regular facebook. When I removed HTC sense for facebook before it took away any sync capability. Could you explain how you have this set up? I would prefer using the normal facebook app and not the sense one.

Tried this before and broke my stock ROM before I flashed myns. When I uninstalled HTCSense Facebook it stopped syncing contacts and despite having facebook reinstalled I still could not get those two. Are you sure this works? everything I have read is that I would need a third party app like syncmypix, which is why I asked if we can just dump that little facebook icon.

Can you explain how you got this working?
I installed Market Facebook. turned off HTC facebook. When I click the facebook icon in accounts nothing happens.
This happened before on my last rom.
Without HTC sense and just doing it through the facebook app. Your contact names will have to match their facebook extactly
Also the facebook does not update as frequently through
So I cant get the regular android to sync. I click it on the sync menu and nothing pops up. The first time it brought me to the login screen but hasnt done it since even if I remove. googling this and it seems to be a common issue unresolved... so it brings me back to my original question of finding this facebook image in the filesystem and changing it to a transparent png. Any dev whos taken apart sense have any ideas?
I actually would like to see if this is possible as well. Those icons have been annoying me ever since I got my Evo! (release!)
anyone feel like helping? been trying to dig this for a week and can't find any fix.

Hi everyone.
I have a "feature" on my GN that i want to fix somehow.
When I set a picture to any of my contact, the picture is getting blurry and ugly. This was present in the earlier versions of android when synced to google account.
To somehow manage the problem I've tried turning off the google sync but I wasn't lucky at all. Pictures are still buggy and ugly.
If anybody knows how to fix this issue, please comment below. I would really appreciate it.
C'mon Google, with this gorgeous screen you wan't us to look at those ugly contact pictures? It's awful! Fix this, please!

They said they were working on it a few months ago on a Google+ topic. But haven't offered any update regarding the progress. They need to change the gmail contacts photos to a higher resolution. There are 3rd party apps that offer temporary solutions or you can locally assign photos to contacts but none of these are permanent solutions.

I am not having this problem since a long time...
I have added (sort-of) hi-res contact pictures on my phone manually (720x240 pixels, ok not really hi-res but still better than 96x96) and synced with google, and pics on the phone stay at hi-res
We need to put some pressure on Google to fix the Low resolution contact images that are synced with using GMail.

It's a little more effort but check out ibackupbot you can open up old iTunes backups from within the program. I've used it to pull contacts, pictures, and various other things

Second that. I use Doubletwist. It's good software and your best bet if you no longer have the old iPhone.
use Samsung Kies to export Contacts from your iTune backup if did made back up for your old iphone.
Just sync your contacts via itunes with google account. Its everything you need

What are your steps you did? Once you download the app you don't even need to open it. As long as you are logged into Facebook (via the official Facebook app) just go to your Accounts in Settings, and press Add account, and then select UberSync. It will then automatically sign in to Facebook, and start syncing after about two minutes. I've never once clicked on the actual app in the app drawer. Give it about ten minutes, and then go to your contacts, and you will see what it did. You may have to "join" some contacts from Facebook to your own manual adds you did, but it works really well when it's all done.

There is no substitute for sync.me on the market. No other app (like ubersync) gives u that much choices and handling of your contacts
Guess we gotta wait for them to fix it . I already read on their website that the problem is from their side and they are working on it

I'm not sure on what choices you mean, but I just use UberSync to simply sync my existing contacts with my Facebook contacts. Simple. What other choice are there to do?

I also WAS a Sync.me user, but I have bad news for us...
For what I read in their official facebook page (wich I can't link here 'cause I have less than 10 posts -.-') they decided to "divide" Sync.me into 2 different apps, one for sync and other for birthdays.
So they launched "Sync.me Birthdays" in the iPhone App Store and now they launched the new Sync.me app for iPhone too and they promise that an Android version will be available soon.
And here are the bad news:

(open it in a new tab... it's so f* annoying not been able to post link even from images! =/)
So... time to move on... HaxSync? UberSync? any other...?

Hi all, How are you?
I have a Galaxy Nexus with Android 4..2.2(JDQ39) unrooted.
I delete a picasa web album by mistake, but It was downloaded on the stock Gallery app (version 1.1.40001).
So I am trying to figure out where the stock Gallery app restore photos checked to be offline in order to restore my photos.
Please, Does someone know where stock Gallery app store the off line albums?
(I have already checked sdcard/Android/data/com.android.gallery3d/cache and /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.plus/cache folders and both are empty)
Thanks in advance,
Roger
How did you delete the web album? I just tried and it didnt give me the option to delete. And I havent seen an option for offline viewing.
By the way, there is no need to post the same question in two different forums.

I have deleted the album using Picasa Web interface ( I am using the old interface as I deleted my google plus profile to prevent integration with google plus).

On the stock gallery app, there is an option on the top right menu(three dots on top right) to "make available offline".
So the deleted album is stored somewhere in my phone because I made it available offline (I can still the the photos on my phone, although It was deleted from Picasa Web), but I don`t know where it is stored...
there is no need to post the same question in two different forums.

That must be a stock thing. I'm using a custom ROM, which the stock gallery app is integrated with Picasa, and I dont have that option. Google is making it almost necessary to have a Google+ account. Even when you create a YouTube account, it automatically creates a Google+ account. I'm not a big fan of HAVING to have one, but its there and I dont use it other than to sync my photos between devices. To answer your question though, I have no idea where the offline folder is. Sorry.
