[Q] Contact Pictures are Dotted? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I am running InsertCoin on my phone and I noticed that when I view my contact pictures, they have a dotted effect. It looks ugly
Help plz.

This occurs on stock ROM if your settings are set to just download the low resolution of your contact picture. Standard setting is to download full resolution pictures just if you are syncing on wlan.
I get this issue as well on contact where I just have a small resolution picture of them on my Google account.

Low res pictures on tiles..

Hi..
I just got a HTC HD7..
Just a quick questions about the pictures that I have assigned on the tiles..
For the pictures that I assigned on the tiles eg. Contacts, Me and Pictures tiles..
The pictures turn out to be low res..
Even the people tile also has low res pictures..
Is that normal?
Any workaround?
I noticed this too. I thought it was because I have my contacts synched from my Google account that did this.
I noticed that if I make a new contact and instead of using my Google account and set it to Windows Live, and add a picture, the quality of the contact tile picture seems a bit higher.
This is the same issue as what I've encountered using iPhone too. I suspect its because when you set a profile pic within Outlook, the picture is auto downsized to a lower resolution.
However, if you set the picture via iphone itself for example, it will store and continue to use the new higher res pic
I did try to assign the picture from my gallery.. The picture was high res for some time.. After that it reverted to low res..

i have seen the same in my mozart also.
Specially for incoming calls.
Even though I have added a new contact and assigned a pic to him using the pic captured from the 8 mp cam on Mozart (Which is pretty crisp and clear) when the contact calls me I see a low resolution pic coming in my screen..
Hope this is something MS would be able to sort out in their updates

Custom contact pictures, not facebook pics

If I change the source of the contact pictures and the contact is linked to a Facebook profile the picture switches back to the Facebook pic instead. It seems to stay for a couple of seconds/miuntes then swap back. Is there a way to choose which picture is used?
Edit the contact, in the editing activity touch a (rather small) arrow to the right of the picture

You can click on the picture instead of just the arrow. If I select Google instead of Facebook the picture stays as what I choose but its a low res blurry one. If I try using a picture from the gallery it switches back to the Facebook picture after a while.

I've just turned off Facebook syncing so I can choose my own pictures now.

I was wondering why no one has asked this. I have the same issue... so photo caller ID also looks horrible. I found when I assign a photo to a contact, it stays high-res for a bit and then becomes low-res. Anyone has a solution for this?
This is because when you sync your contacts to Google, it automatically reduces the resolution. Read http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4147 . Solution I found were to either stop contacts sync completely or to create an additional contact in phone memory, add a high quality photo and then link your Google contact with that new phone contact.

[Q] Facebook photo size in contacts

Hello everyone
I recently bought a Galaxy S4 mini GT-I9195 and so far I love it.
I am synchronizing my contacts with Facebook because that way I get all my friends' images in my phonebook.
But those images are small and blurry, and they look very bad especially in the call screen.
Is there any way I can set a larger photo size for my facebook contacts? I didn't see such an option in the Facebook app.
Thanks
Use HaxSync.apk to sync your contacts. Their images will be very clear and big.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is there any way to do it without installing extra apps?
No. You have to install HaxSync.
