I've uploaded a few pics for profiles. they look great on the screen but when I choose them for profiles the quality goes massively downhill (really pixilated / blocky).
anyone else finding this?
thanks

I have also found this and tough it isn't a solution, i can say that if you use the facebook pic (by linking the contact to their facebook) then the pic is good quality.
ummmm, good shout but I'm not really a Facebook user.
seems ridiculous that we can't make use of the fantastic screen!
I'm sure there must be s solution!

I've got this problem too, most annoying. I've discovered this post on another forum, not so much a solution just an explanation of why it happens.
Disclaimer: This refers to the Hero, which suffers from the same problem. Hopefully this solution works on the Droid too.
I was just playing around with this for a while, and I think I know what's going on. More importantly, I have a fix, albeit an annoying one. bruceo touched on it with his reference to the cloud and disabling sync. Google Contacts images are natively 96x96. Enlarged contact photos on the Hero (when a call is inbound/outbound) look to be roughly 210x210.
I put a 320x480 image on my card (Hero's native res) and made that a 210x210 contact image using the default crop square on the phone. It looked fine at first, but 5 minutes later it looked horrible.
I suspect Google Contacts is syncing with the phone, but at the same time it's downscaling the photo to fit within the 96x96 Google Contacts constraint. The next time your phone and Google Contacts communicate, the filesizes don't match, so voila... latest timestamp wins and your phone pulls the new image from Google Contacts. Now your contacts list (on the phone) is referencing a 96x96 image for a 210x210 display... and the end result is ugly.
If you disable syncing between your phone and Google Contacts (Settings>Data Synchronization>Google>Contacts - uncheck), the image will NOT be overwritten. Of course the downside is you will need to make any future changes in both locations. But hey, at least your pictures won't look horrible.

I have the same problem with my HTC Touch HD. Any picture that is selected for a contact is reduced in quality. Must be a HTC thing not android.
I don't sync my contacts with google but the profile pictures are sill pixalated.
Synching with Outlook 2007 also degrades the image as it can't handle the higher quality images so degrades them, then would synch that lower quality image back to the phone
is there any workaround? When adding the pictures to the phone via phone, they are very sharp, but as soon as you sync with outlook or google, the pictures become very pixelated...
in addition, my facebook pics look a little bit sharper - however, my contacts do not update with the latest contact pictures...
This is the workaround i've used, not ideal but it does work
Here's the workaround for HTC Desire (and probably for other devices with Sense UI):
You should create additional contact and save it in phone memory. Contact info can be empty and it's not important what name you'll choose.
Then you should add a photo for this contact.
Next step is to create a link in People between this new contact and that one stored in Gmail account. By pressing Menu key during link creation you have access to options to choose name and photo for this "linked contact". You should choose photo from "Phone".
The result is you have high quality photo in your caller ID!
Also, you have duplicate contacts: one from Google account (but it's still synchronized!! , second from your phone internal memory. But it's not a problem - you won't see those duplicates as long as they're linked.

This works great, thanks!
Its ridiculous that we even need to do this! Is there an app / automatic workaround that can sort the contact image quality?!
Outlook/Activsync
Does anyone know of a work around or fix for syncing HC photos with outlook... I'm using the HD2 which principle should be the same....
I'm currently using the workaround, of storing a HD 270x270 photo on SD card... This method is tooo time constraining.. Rather do in outlook.
I would hate to have to redo over 250+ contacts when I update the rom.

now i'm stuck with those crappy icons as well. last times, when i used MyBackup Pro to retore my contacts it restored them to the phone's memory (where it got them from), but these times it just forces itself on my google account and here we go: blurry contact pics.
is there still no solution to this? this size is really really bad
Remember to export the phone contacts otherwise you will need to add them manually in case of factory reset.

There is kind of.....
The problem as stated many times before is Gmail down-scaling the pic to rubbish, seems people are having the same problem with Outlook 2007. I only just started to have this problem when I moved all my contacts from Outlook 2010 to Gmail. Outlook 2010 handles a larger picture for contacts and I never experienced this problem until moving to Gmail for my contacts so I didn't have to use a cable to Sync >> Crap idea, I would rather have to sync once a week via cable then get the crappy contact pics!!
If Gmail handled a larger contact pic we all would be sorted!

Unfortunately, this is a limitation with Outlook and there is no workaround at the PC end.
This is a little off-topic, and I'm sorry if it doesn't belong here, but I am looking for some people to test out a new website I've been working on, and thought I'd look to my fellow Inc2 owners.
When I first got CM7 working on my old Fascinate, I was a little bummed that there was no way to link my Facebook contacts. So I decided to make my own tool. As of right now, it only syncs pictures, no phone numbers or anything.
I've spent a good amount of time working out the bugs, but there is a chance I missed some, so if you encounter any problems please let me know. Don't worry though, it won't mess up your Google contacts at all.
Please note that it currently DOES NOT work in Internet Explorer, due to a bug on Google's end which will hopefully be fixed soon.

Thanks!
Edit: Also I should note that this won't work on mobile browsers (can't scroll through certain lists), and you must have javascript enabled in your browser.
What are the benefits over using the Facebook App to sync contacts?
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App
Let's see, the main benefits are:
- Ability to crop and resize profile pictures
- Pictures are visible outside of just your phone, so in Gmail for instance
- No need to re-link after flashing a new rom (I always found this a pain)
- Pictures will show up everywhere on your phone. I believe if you use the Facebook app to sync, the pictures will not show up for certain apps, like messaging
- No new contacts will be added to your phone
My tool will only sync pictures, and not phone numbers or email addresses. I found it kind of annoying that the Facebook app would pull these in, but I guess that's a matter of personal preference.
As of right now, there is no automatic updating of profile pictures, but I hope to get this implemented soon.

Gave it a go. after running the program, I got an error pop up that submitted an error report. The program still worked though. It found a few of my contacts in Google that weren't matched up with my Facebook contacts.
So if I'm understanding this, now that I have my Facebook contacts linked with my Google contacts, when loading my contacts on my phone now, (after flashing a rom or doing a hard reset) my Google contacts will still have the pictures linked to them without having to go back and doing the Facebook thing all over again?

Yep, as long as you hit the upload button once you were done linking the contacts. Instead of saving the pictures on the phone, like the Facebook app does, this actually saves the pictures to your Google contacts. So when you do a reset, and sign back in to your Google account, your contact picture will be sent to your phone along with all their other information.
You do need to link all of your contacts on the website though. It doesn't recognize which ones you already have linked on your phone.
I saw the bug reports, I'll take a look and try to see what happened. Thanks for giving it a try!
Could you add the feature of ONLY syncing facebook pictures and no contact numbers? The one thing I hate about syncing facebook in my phone is the fact some people have old numbers still on FB so there are two numbers when you go to call or text someone as well as there are unwanted numbers of people.

Your contacts aren't showing up? That's strange... and no error message comes up? When you sign in and click 'Begin', how many contacts does it say you have under 'Google Contacts'?

Could you do me a favor? Sign into the site again, and click on 'Begin'. Once the main page loads, click on the 'Comments/Questions' link at the bottom of the page, check the 'send log' checkbox, type anything in the big box, and hit send?
This will help me diagnose what's going on, and why your contacts aren't showing up. Thanks!
Zed does your website still work? The pages shows it as down.
Shoot, my server must be down. I'll take a look at it when I get some time today, sorry about that.
Alright it should be up and running now. Let me know if you have any problems. Thanks!
Is there any app that downloads a high resolution Facebook contact picture and assigns it to your contact on the phone?
Theres a plethora of apps that sync "high res" pics (Syncmypix), but attaches it to your gmail account, which then downgrades the quality to all hell, because its like 48x48 res.
You can obviously manually download pictures and assign it to each contact, but that will take forever!
The only other solution is to contact everyone to sign up for Google + and upload a high res picture as their profile picture

Thanks. I've been wondering as well.
If I remember correctly, the low-res limitation is due to Google Contacts sync. I believe when google grabs the picture from the contact (which is in high-res first time) it uploads it to Contacts and converts to 64x64px (?) and then it use that low-res picture for all things.
I dont know if it still works like this but as other people said, there is a bunch of threads about this "problem".

exactly, the current syncing apps sync it with gmail, therefore downsizes it to 64x64 pixels, which looks awful on a 720p screen.
I did do a search, and could not find a straight answer.

Why would google release this OS with this new half screen picture UI on contacts and then not allow facebook to use high res photos, it looks like ****!
I can't understand how they looked at that feature and said yeah that looks awesome..
Have you tried Syncmypix ?
from what ive been reading about this phone, the only way to get hi res photos would be if the other users are using google+, all other apps the pic gets downgraded in quality
..
Wow people, some of the comments in here were completely uncalled for... If you see a thread that's a repost, than by all means respond like a normal human being and politely link them to the other thread. Then either report it or PM a mod so it can be merged.
But this BS about flaming each other for petty **** is going to stop.
godsfshrmn said:
No application is going to do this unless you stop syncing contacts. When syncmypics, friendcaster, whatever else app links a photo to a contact, it is sync'd with google contacts, which downsizes them automatically. If you want to complain, go complain about google contacts.

So if this is the case, could I just sync with friendcaster, then go to accounts & sync and turn contact sync off and the pics would stay high-res?

facebook vs google
From what Ihave heard, google is not agreeing with some policy of facebook and therefore facebook is not letting them sync. However i think its odd that its only with ics. Maybe it has something to do with the use of the large image?

Hi there, did a search but couldn't find anything.
Is there a reason why the image which appears on the top of each persons people contact is so low resolution? I have replaced some of the images of people on there with high resolution pictures but it just low res's them again!
Very annoying on a phone with such a nice screen.
Been wondering the same thing. There is no reason to make them low res, so it must be a bug of some sorts.

Not sure what the exact solution to this is and I find it annoying too. I do however use haxsync and merge my phone contacts with their facebook profiles and that keeps them in a decent quality (well, as good as thier facebook profile picture at least). Not a ideal solution but it kinda works..
(Haxsynx also does other stuff, such as showing facebook status updates and history on contacts info but that part doesnt appear to work with the Sense people app, I was standard ICS contacts.. :/ )

The standard people app does it as well, if the phone contact is linked to the facebook one. I know for sure because I have spent an hour unlinking them one by one, as I hate FB messing with my phone contacts.
If you're on about pictures you sync yourself then they go to the Google server where they become nice los res pictures as Google has screwed it up. Syncing to Facebook is a bit better but not perfect...Google+ seems to be the best resolution for contact pictures IMO
Remove the picture and re-attach it. I dont know why it happens but after a few tries, it will attach your picture with the proper resolution
This was an issue for me as well, but Haxsync on Google Play fixes it beautifully. It can force/sync high quality photos from Facebook.

You can try to create a new contact with the photo on "phone" (only photo in it), remove the photo from the "google" contact (if you already have one in it) and leave only the particulars like name and phone numbers, then link the "phone" contact to the "google" contact.
This means google will only sync the particulars from your "google" contact and leave the "phone" contact intact, so you will always have an uncompressed photo.

I manually re-attached hi res pictures and disabled Google contacts sync from Accounts & sync > Google > Sync contacts but they still look terrible when I open the contact details or I receive a call. Any ideas why the hi res pictures are not displayed? I also tried to take a picture directly whit the camera and use it as contact picture but still low res. I had the same issue with my Incredible S but manually re-attach hi res pictures worked in that case.

Hi everybody,
I just bought an HTC One X two days ago, which is a wonderfull device, but I have an issue ...
I'm syncing my contacts/mail/calendar with an Exchange server (I don't think it is related, but I prefer to tell), which downloads the contact pictures correctly. But they are of low resolution and poor quality. I go to edit the contact, I browse the gallery to 700x700 picture, choose it, and save the contact, but picture quality remains unchanged ... As if it was downsizing it and lot of jpeg artefacts on compression ...
Do you have the same issue and do you have some solutions ?
Thanks !
Hello, i have the same issue here.
Photo from contact are pixelated and have really bad quality.
It looks like the thumbnail has been upscaled ...
And i have no solution.
There is an app called friendcaster that will sort it
This app is called "Friendcaster for Facebook", but my problem has nothing to do with Facebook, in fact I don't want to use facebook at all ...
I just want to put highres pictures on my Exchange contacts, not more ...
Try haxsync from market and see if it solves ur problem....

Now i have always clean and sharp pics. They weren´t synced btw. changed by Google. Titanium backup restores this path after installing a new rom.

I´ve choosed rework in contacts, then click on the little upper photo and choose albums and the file in the created folder on my sd card. After this i had always clean & sharp contact pics.
So what you're saying here is that you copy all the pictures to the phone memory, then go into each contact manually and assign a picture? I really can't be bothered doing this for 130+ contacts, and not be able to sync it with e.g. Outlook to keep a backup.
It there would be an app to do this automatically, given the photo file name is the same as the contact name - that would be useful indeed.
Looking for a solution also. Maybe contacts.apk need to be modified to change picture resolution for contacts.
the solution is in Google's hands which doesn't seem to give a **** for YEARS now.
latest thread on the saga is here:

they eventually gave up after some indians working for Google teased everyone with a solution, they shut up for the next 5 months...typical.
it's ****ing pathetic, everyone should flood Rubin's and all executives accounts with this issue.
long story short: ICS supports 256x256 contacts image size (up from 96x96) but Google Mail doesn't.
that's why our contact pictures once sync-ed with Gmail look like ****. Even the iPhone is affected by this....if you sync it with Google Mail.
they don't consider it a top priority, otherwise it would've been fixed like this:
