Contacts with higher res pics?

is it possible?

I would like to know this too, currently they are shocking.

(from what I found on the web) Apparently the facebook app saves small thumbnails, and they look bad when blown up on hi-res phones.
As a workaround you can try to set a google contact photo manually instead http://www.google.com/contacts.
update: this does not work either so its not just a facebook app issue.

One of my contact pictures is set through the phone via a photo i took with the camera, it still looks ****e. I can't think of any workaround.

yup, contact images set via google contacts show up blurry too

facebook for HTC is using hi res facebook profile picture when synching to contacts..
i switched to sense UI the other day and i found out contact synching with facebook using facebook for HTC not the normal android facebook app.

One of the developers had tried in the past to make the dialer show the contact photo filling the entire screen. Unfortunately Google resizes the images to 96px (if my memory is still working.<EDIT: Memory is working! yay!>) This is a setting we don't have any control over, its something google has set, above and beyond our control.
EDIT: This is the thread where pics are reported to revert back to 96px after they sync with google.

Then again, I'm not sure if anyone has tried to just call the images locally off the sdcard or something along the lines. (The problem would be, once you lose your phone, all the contact photos would be gone.) No sure if anyone has tried this before, if not, I might take a whack at it.

Man...didn't notice 'til I read this thread...LoL.

Looking for complete photo syncing through gallery and picasa

Hey guys
I was thinking how great it would be to have the gallery sync with my picasa. First im trying to figure out how to get rid of all the facebook pics that are raping my gallery but that's another discussion. Anyway is there anyway to do this? I would love having a good widget too but that's a bonus

Google plus will sync pictures if you allow it to. Also are the facebook pictures on your sdcard? A nomedia file in the folder will keep your gallery from getting raped.

Oh yeah I forgot about that! Thanks. My gallery is filled with facebook pictures of my friends because my account is linked to my contacts. I'm on the droid 3 and I think this is something new. I want to get rid of all of those pictures but still have the facebook profiles linked to my google contacts. The droid 3 really made this more complicated

I'm sure the pictures have to be in the sdcard somewhere just have to track them down the thumbnail folder of your camera folder maybe. Good luck with the issue. I have a tbolt and don't have facebook.

So, is Facebook sync broken on the Bionic?

Gave my Bionic to my girlfriend, and Facebook will not fully sync photos even after a fresh install of both Liberty and Eclipse. When I view a contact, I get the link to their profile, but their contact photo isn't updated most of the time. I'd say less than 1/3 of the contacts actually had photos updated, and those who did didn't have their photo show up in the messaging app! Did Facebook change some sync preferences or is something else going on here?

Works fine for me, on stock rooted 901.

Picasa

Wondering how Picasa sync works with this phone. I was sending pictures using Hangouts and it seems that when I look in Gallery it shows those pics with the Picasa symbol on it. The problem is that I can't delete it. I have the Picasa software install on my PC and it doesn't even show there. Nor does it show in an app that manages Picasa photos.
Not even sure why those pics were uploaded. I have Google + Photo auto upload turned off...which I don't think is associated with Picasa.
Any insights on this would be appreciated! Thanks.

Did you check your sync settings? Try turning off Picasa Web Uploads.

That does not delete the images. That only removes the syncing from that phone you're using. When you replace it with a new phone, they will show up again. What is the source of those photos? How do you delete them there???

All photos posted in a Google hangout get auto backed up to your Google+ photos. Each hangout conversation should have it's own album in the Photos section of Google+.
If you don't want the photo you are sending to get backed up just turn the "history" off on the chat before you send the photo. You can turn it back on after the photo is sent if you want.

Question about Gallery app

Hi All,
New to the Note 5, but I'm enjoying it a lot. One thing I can't figure out is how to show my dropbox and google drive/photos pictures in the Gallery app. On my moto x and nexus 6, the gallery app shows pictures from all cloud services.
I have auto upload and sync enabled in both dropbox and google photos, but my Gallery app only shows pictures that are stored locally, like those I took on the phone's camera.
Is there a way to get my photos from those cloud services to show in the Gallery app?

Same here.. On note 4, everything was in one gallery..

I haven't tested because i do not want my drop box photos showing.
1. Make sure you have the drop box account added from the market. (I came from a Note 3 and drop box was automatically installed but it is not with 5).
2. Go to settings > accounts. Click the plus to add an account. It will show you all your aps. Drop box will not be highlighted, select it.
3. When you select and re-sign in, you will be asked about photo uploads.
4. Make sure you have sync turned on. This is the step I did not do.

This does not make the Gallery show Dropbox pictures. If you read my post, you'll see I already have camera upload and sync on.
Thanks anyway.
