For some reason even though I've already reinstalled before via the factory reset, 3 times total now..
I still have dots on the pictures of my contacts but only during incoming calls. If I look at them in the contacts window, there is no problem and if I take a new picture and set it to an existing contact it goes away so its only on existing contacts, the ones that are imported when adding my Google account.
Does anybody else have this problem?

best solution is change your contact to gmail account (no more on phone) and change the contact pictures that u want with pictures from gallery for one time (i know its sucks).... also if u have some of ur contact linked to facebook, that should update ur friend pictures without dots
It is because the quality of the pictures in google contacts is low (but google changed the picture limitation for contacts).
it's intentional I thought

dots on the call incoming photos are basically because the picture quality of the contact photos you have are low. i suggest you sync with facebook or something that will give higher quality photos. i dont think gmail or google contacts saves pictures in high quality mode. i actually had to use an app to sync my facebook photos to my google account previously. but now with sense5 it just pulls the photos straight from facebook into the sense framework.
Yes I know that Google just recently upgraded to high quality pictures on Gmail and or Google contacts but I still wasn't sure if the dots were there to try to suggest you can make a better quality picture and if so I would prefer just a message saying 'Hey you can now make/use better quality pictures'.
I don't use Facebook and my contacts' pictures are not stored on the phone.
I guess the dots over contact pictures during calls is their way of saying: guess what! you can now put a better picture in here!
I was actually having the same question!
I had an old photo of my bud hooked up with my Google Account... That photo had black dots all over the place :s
I then was manually linking anything HTC may have missed, and as soon as a higher res photo was available, black dots went away and photo changed.
Still don't know why they're there. Maybe it is because of the low quality image, but could definitely be something else.
I too thought it was intentional!

Is this possible, the contacts pics are so low-res that during a call, when I look at the avatar it looks blurry.. Is there way to change this..
Only happens for contacts whose pics were dl'd from fb of course..
My regular contacts with pics from the gallery are fine
Edit: I found an app called 'facebook sync; from market it syncs your contacts info with their pics on facebook.. and it does this in higher resolution that the stock facebook sync method..
also it seems to have fixed the contact pics not showing up in google voice.. everything is smooth now
Yeah that's because the source material from Facebook for those contact pics is poor. I've experienced that problem. The only way to fix it would be to manually assign better pics to your contacts.
Re: Higher Resolution contact pics from FB?
when i changed to modaco desire port alpha 19 my fb contact pics got sharper.
Sent from my Nexus One using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
contact pics from fb are something small, like 100x100 pixels. on your phone, 100x100 is very small, so when it gets blown up, it looks pixelated. nothing you can do except manually assign photos.
Solved.........
Is it possible to edit the ROM so it picks up higher resolution instead of 100x100?

Hello all,
I am also looking for an answer to this.
I have a Motorola Atrix with Gingerbread (not rooted), and my contact pictures (most are from facebook) look terrible when I get an incoming call or outogoing calls.
Anyway to make these pictures better quality?
Thanks

i use syncmypix however its still low quality do you sync your contacts with gmail? and are you on ICS ?
I've posted this question in the HTC ONE forum on AndroidCentral as well, but I haven't had any responses yet. I'd love to see if this is an HTC ONE related issue, or if it's possibly just an issue with my wife's phone specifically.
Any help or insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I picked up an HTC One for my wife yesterday and she tinkered with it all evening yesterday. One thing she noticed that I was unable to answer was sending pictures using the SHARE option. Sure, you can open up the default text messaging app and send a picture, but typically she'll share Facebook messages or share multiple photos from an app like QuickPic and then select MESSAGING to send the photos. Right now, it's forcing her to save the pictures, then open the messaging app and attach them.
I looked myself and noticed there is a very limited number of apps available under the SHARE option when you're trying to share an image from any app (Gallery, QuickPic, Facebook, etc). There does not seem to be a way of sharing images (single or multiple) directly from the image viewer or original app, you have to open the messenger app and then add them one by one.
I even tried downloading AndMade Share, but that showed the same limited list of apps to share with.
Am I missing something? I looked through the list of messaging settings, tried searching online here and on XDA, and couldn't find any mention of this issue. I'd rather not install a 3rd party messaging app to gain this ability, but if it's required then so be it.
As a side note, she's loving the phone overall. The camera is stellar and getting the phone for $169 at Costco was a bonus as well (even came with a free fitted transulucent plastic case, which was nice). The HTC included ear buds were also very nice. Overall, very impressed with the phone and included goodies.

Thanks for the response. I'll take a look at her phone when she gets home tonight.
I tried that last night and the items I got were:
Send to AT&T Locker
Gmail
Email
Facebook
Picasa
Dropbox
and a few others.
I'll post a screen cap if it still isn't working.
Just seems odd that even with Andmade Share MESSAGES wasn't showing. Maybe I was just not seeing it in the list on the phone. That's entirely possible, as we had just got back into town last night when this occurred.

Looks like you can use Share to send one picture via the stock Gallery app, but no luck sharing with QuickPic (single or multiple selected photos) or Facebook to the stock messaging app.
Here are screen caps of the QuickPic SHARE options. Options are similar within Facebook as well.
Just an update:
I e-mailed the developer for QuickPic to mention the issue my wife was having with her HTC one. They responded that it's an issue with the HTC Messaging app. According to him, HTC limits which apps can share pictures with the messaging app.
Looks like the answer will be to use a non-stock messenger.
Same issue. I want to send memes from an app, but don't get the option unless I save to gallery. Third party messenger it is, I guess.

Its stupid things like this that give everyone a reason to bash android as a whole. I cannot wait for an aosp ROM to become available for this thing.CComing from aokp on my nexus is making me frustrated with sense.
Ok im sure is a software enchant, but when i make/receive a call, i always see my contact's photos pixellated..
Only contacts setted as preferite show the sharp image
Any way to "fix" this?

I had this issue because I transferred my contact pictures over from Google, and my last phone had lower res pictures. I solved it by taking new hi res pictures for my contacts.
Try this app.

I had to remove each contact photo and then re add it from pics I had in my gallery of people.
Use Haxsync like Zabalba said. It sync's higher resolution photos from fb for you.
This has been driving me crazy. Thanks for redo pics idea..worked wonders

I've been using the new messenger app and I noticed when a particular person sends me a picture it comes out extremely low quality where I can barely make anything out. I had that same person send a picture to a buddies G3 and it was crystal clear. Its like Messenger is downscaling his pics to me low res, don't get me wrong, I do receive good MMS pics through Messenger, but some are extremely bad. I also noticed that if I snap a picture with the camera app and send it they are fine and clear, but if I take a picture using the "in app" messenger camera my pictures come out exactly like the low quality images I talked about receiving above. Is this a messenger issue?
The reason this is such a big issue is because this is a work phone and I am trying to have employees take picture of their work writing documents and text them to me but I can't make out the writing. I am hoping not to have to switch SMS apps Thanks
Bump! I'm having the same issue and it's unacceptable! Did you find a solution?
I've noticed the download size shown prior to downloading the MMS is several times larger than the actual downloaded file
Same problem..
Are you guys using CM12 / 12.1? Known bug in CM for the pictures to be low quality, makes CM unusal to me.
