Hi,
I have assigned contact-pictures to each contact in my Google-account. They have pretty good resolution when I watch them at my Nexus 10 or Desire HD with the contacts-app.
Unfortunately not so with the 4X: when I set up the phone I logged in my google account and all contacts have been synchronized well, but the pictures. They have resolution like 20x20 pix.
Any idea? Same at you?

Having issues downloading and installing, can someone post the apk please?
Really, no one thats looked at this can pull and post the apk real quick?
I was coming here to find out the same thing.
Also if anyone knew if it has sync (I'm unsure as to if the official one has it on any of the android versions since the version I'm using has it but it was from an apk I got here on xda).

Thanks for posting the app!

Oh whoops. I read your post as "it doesn't have sync" lol
Haha ok I figured that might have been the issue, looking back I could have worded that better to make it more clear.
Seems the app has major battery drain issues though (which went back to normal after I turned notifications off, sync is still on though), so be aware.
I grabbed mine from here: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/facebook-for-android
Can anyone give me a reason to use this app instead of the FB touch site? As far as I can tell, the touch site does everything the app does, and even more.
The main reasons I use it is for the contacts sync and the (not very good) widget.
How come when I click sync now for my facebook friends it doesnt update their new photos it shows their old photos in contacts
anyone have an idea
I don't know about everybody else but for me having the capability of having HTML Email on my corporate email is a must.
I can't stand the way the print screen shows on emails and excel images pasted are a total failure.
I wonder if anyone has managed to get HTML on his Exchange email account, or if there's a paid app that can do this.
On this the iPhone is better, the Exchange seems to have HTML Email.
Anyone?
Thanks
Touchdown

And how it works with Froyo? On their website they mention 2.1 but not 2.2

Thanks tried the trial and so far is WAY better than the build in Exchange App.
But locks the screen asking for password, and I guess there's no work around for that.
yes there is... 4shared.com.....touchdown.apk

Isn't that a cracked one?
Evil Desire Port? Mail/Calendar apps are much better than the default Froyo IMO. A few features are different, but HTML no problem with that.
Touchdown is ok, but I wouldn't pay $19 personally.
Downloaded the Yahoo Messenger app on my Nexus but it only seems to want to use the camera on the back of the handset and I don't see any way of toggling it to the FFC. Has this been resolved yet or is Yahoo still dragging their feet on this?
yup, it was working fine on SGS i9000 but doesn't work well on SNS i9020
i thought multi camera support was only added in 2.3, so the yahoo devs may not have got around to it?
That's a shame, not that I talk to many people on YIM, but had they gotten the video calling to work properly I'd use it for sure.
Oh well, with any luck Google will get off their behinds and get the video calling integrated in Gtalk for handsets soon. I'd rather use that anyway.

regardless of that yahoo camera chat was working great in Froyo with the correct FFC
but after upgrade to 2.3 it kind of got broken
it's Yahoo that needs to fix it, not really an Android OS issue
There was a update today for messenger and plugin but still the same with camera sad

Yes but i have writed a mail to yahoo and didnt get a answer from them yet :-/
Doing this caused me untold grief. My camera and gallery stopped working as a result. I thought it was a LP bug. I flashed the update, froze G+and no gallery. To cut it i used a file reader and found links, unfroze G+and got gallery etc back
Hope it helps someone
I've always had G+ disabled. The camera on my N5 still works just fine, and I downloaded an app for gallery because I didn't like the new photos app.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I had the same issue. Does somebody know if there is a standalone photo's app or an lollipopped AOSP gallery?

Yes there are some there's a 3d one that works great and the camera button on it switches the phone camera on. Just go to play store 7 works, 11 I think. Just load and try to open

You on lolipop? It's purely linked to that. Use a file reader and you will see why the photo app is dependent on G+

I use quickpic instead of the g+ gallery, which keeps uploading my photos to the cloud without my permission...
You should be able to stop that. It's in googles rules for apps. If you are lucky and have the paid version of JRummys "Toolbox pro" there is a tool which shows how many secret radios each app has and switches them off if wanted. Some have a dozen each way!
I just downloaded it. I like the look but as you say there no do not send switch. It does say "upload list" or something. So it just ads pics to that? That's the only way it could do it. Does the camera have an auto upload feature? That would cause it
You can also use the stock Gallery app from KK. Works great without bugs
KK looks better by the day.. No I'm fine with g+on. I'm scared of the camera going again. That may of been a bug. I dont know but my fiance is 8000 miles away so Skype is vital and we send tons of pics. She's buying clothes now... The week with no camera was so bad I bought a 610 after a day to fill in

Try just disabling the app from the settings. I run with it this way and have no problems. Granted the photos app doesn't work but oh well I'll live. Google+ drains my battery anyway.
I think kk looks better, especially with the industrial design apps as they have a coordinated look, lacking b4. I used to hate HTC 's sense but the current version looks great, again with the new apps

I don't have any problems. I'm rooted stock.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Photos is embedded into Google+ and they got rid of the AOSP-ish Gallery on their factory images, like how they got rid of the AOSP Browser and added Chrome.
It is possible to use Google+ without Photos or vice versa, if you open a terminal emulator and disable activities with pm disable packagename.activityname
i.e. disable all the Photos activities and you have Google+ with Photos disabled, disable the Google+ activities and you have Photos without Google+.
What can't be done is separate them into separate apks.

This ^^^
I froze G+ and photos and installed QuckPic. Camera works fine with no issues
I deleted the following directories:
/system/app/Photos
/system/app/PlusOne
Then I deleted the following db files from somewhere in the /data directory.
pluscontacts.db
pluscontacts.db-journal
plus.db
plus.db-journal
Did all that from recovery.
Then I installed PicsPro.
Yes I've frozen it again and put the kk gallery in. Works fine. Reason for posting this is people who freeze G+ and loose photos as the bug in the 5 original LP had a bug where you lost the camera and photo for no reason, as happened to me. Don't want pple to mistake it for a bug.

Actually, this should be the least of your worries given that Facebook knows more about you than you do or the next of kin.
