Hello guy`s i decide to open new topic because i have a problem and im sure im not the one who ask for the same.. so when im trying to set any picture on my contact all the pictures look very very ugly and bad quality i try few diferent things always the results are the same!
When i shoot a picture with the HTC Touch HD cam there have a options for Contact Photo O.K i did it and when i did it this way the pic look cool on the contact`s when this person calling me.. but i want to set another pictures that are from my Desktop PC what i can do?
I saw that the Original COntact Pictures shooted by the Phone Camera are exactly 240 x 320 Pixels so i resize the pictures i want and i make them the same format like the standart one for contacts the result is again very bad quality and ugly image.. the pictures i was trying to set are really with a amazing quality the question is why when i set them for Contact picture they are so ugly and bad quality?
I also try to set bigger picture than 240 x 320 pixels but Always the result is the same no matter how pixels picture i set no matter anything also what its very strange i conect the phone with my desktop pc and i copy one simple image that i shoot via my phone cam for contacts to see what im missing so after i extract this picture to my desktop PC i dalate it from the folder and i just clear the image without to do any re-size without to do anything just put back the same picture and again this heppand the picture was so so ugly with bad quality without to have any reason? I want someone who already have the same problem to give me some advice
How im able to set pictures of my contact from my desktop pc and they to look cool as they are really looking.. because it`s stupid if i only need to shoot every person plus this the Camera quality is not so AWSOME
Please help me with that all this seems very strange for me..
Sorry for my english but is not my mother language like you can see cheers
to have a good quality of your contact picture you must assign a name to the picture instead of assigning a picture to a name.
I explain ...
you go on File Explorer
Choose your picture
then assign it to a name
then you have a perfect quality picture when you give/ receive a call
if you do it choosing a name and assign a picture to this the quality of the picture is SH...
Thank you for the fast help but can you tell me how to do this i mean do i need some program? because i go to the picture that is stored in my mem card and when i hold on her or menu i didn`t see anything like assing to name? do i need some File Expoloer program? Thanks in advance
THANK YOU very much i saw what you mean and i did it already the pic`s look now AMAZING this is really a good TWEAK thank you again for this help!
I have the same problem but even after changing them one by one via > pics > add to contact, they change back to being poor quality!
I'm thinkng that Google Sync may have something to do with it... I have tried so many times to change this I'm almost resigned to putting up with the crap quality images now!
i ma using the s2v programm to view the pictures and set the contact pics. through s2v you can asign picture to ur contact. by the way ,i also use phonex 1.2 for wm6, in which the incoming call is fullscreen picture. it works perfectly. so what i suggest is you install a s2v
i created a jpg-picture for every contact on my pc (this way i have the perfect control over every single picture).
the image size has to be 268x268 pixels.
then i copied the pictures to the hd and assigned them via the peoples tab.
works perfectly in my opinion!
unless im missing something here.. the solution to your problem seems ridiculously easy..
I understand the picture quality of a contact on TF3D is poor when you set it as a contact?
to fix this, simply add that contact in the "People" tab on TF3D. once selected, click on Menu > Change Picture.
The picture doesn't have to be a special size or anything, TF3D automatically resizes it at optimum quality. No extra softwares etc. required either.
Hope this is what you guys were after.
PS - changing ur toTF3D background is a different story altogether...

Indeed that did work for me previously, however for some reason no matter how I change them now (wither via contacts or via photos) they default to the crap quality image. I'm convinced that everytime my phone syncs with google it just replaces the high quality with low quality. *shakes fist* lol

Why do you sync with Google? Use Outlook for syncing contacts, and the high quality photos will stay.
By, the way, there is a much simpler solution for your problem with photo quality.
Prepare photos on your PC (you can make them any size you want, but preffered size is around 260x260 pixels, I use anything between 250 and 500 pixels, and they look good). Also, try to crop photos to square format, since TF3D will do that automatically if they're not in 1:1 format.
Then make a folder and copy the photos to your device, go to Camera tab, open that folder via the Album and click on a photo. When the photo opens, make a short tap on the screen and a bottom menu will open. Click on the last right icon and select "Save to contact", then simply find the contact for that photo and click OK.
After that, just scroll to the next photo and repeat. When you sync with Outlook the full size photos will stay. Be warned, if you assign a photo to contact through Outlook, it will look ****ty on the phone.
Will give that a bash! thanks for the advice.

If you can help, thank you in advance.
Not really understanding why you need a cab for that purpose...
Just add the picture to your contact. Add your contact to your People tab. The picture that appears there will be how the picture looks when that contact calls.
i'm pretty sure that the contact pic size is controlled by the dialer and i don't know how to adjust (not sure you can)
But on the other hand, there are many apps that do this. Photo Contacts Pro is one of them.
Just to a search on google for "full screen caller windows mobile" and you'll come up with a handful of options.
PhotoContacts Pro will display full screen Caller ID. Not freeware though.
thx guys found the photo contacts pro program
gonna try it now.
Can someone please figure out how to mod the code or whatever is needed to have the photos from your gallery be sorted with the latest photos up top instead of all the way at the bottom??
This drives me crazy as I have ton of pics on my phone and every time I take a new photo and I want to SMS it or upload it, I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to find the recent photo. Why did HTC make it this way? This should be an easy fix to have it sort by the latest date/time stamp right? Had this same issue on my Hero.
The little slide pops up on the right and you can skip to the bottom instantly. It isn't that bad. Although someone would probably need the source to change it.
Would it be possible to alter the way the dialler displays a contact's picture when a call is being made/received?
At the moment, it takes up the full screen and looks horrible if you use the google contact picture.
With the Galaxy S Epic I got, I was happy to see that I could 'compress' the photos when I attach them to an email. I like to take pictures in a higher resolution for my own home purpose, but when I want to send one or two in email (take picture on the road and want to share on the fly), it is nice to compress them down to a smaller size for faster sending and sharing (instead of sending the full size photo).
When I go to send an email, select the 'attach' option and select a picture or two, I select to compress the photos to 10% size. Type my text and send, that goes fine.
Normally when friends get the emails with the reduced picture file, the picture file is mostly blank. It has about 1/4 inch on the top of the photo with original photo material, and the rest of the photo is blank grey screen.
Meaning, they get the picture file completely, say 800x600, and the top 5 % is the photo and the reset of the picture is blank/grey.
I send copies home and get the same results.
The original pictures are fine when viewed on photo or later xferred to home PC.
Appears to be the photo compression feature itself that distorts the file, because all receivers have said/got the same distorted file. Meaning everyone who gets a copy of email, replies with same issue.
Is a bad option or bad compression tool in the phone?
