[Q] Low res photos on contacts - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently got HTC One, really love this phone, but this issue is bordering me.
Only few contacts have hi-res photos. Even after I add through a web new HQ picture it syncs it in low res again.
If I add through phone new picture it works, people app shows hq picture, it even shows new pic on web (google contacts), but as soon as I remove account and add it again, it syncs again in low res !
Only few people are in high res, those one's I added ass soon as I sow news that google fixed this issue, is it back again or am I missing smth ?

Can abybody at least say that everything works for him ?

This happens to me too, if I set a high res picture for the contact on the HTC one it works for a bit but for some reason it goes low res after a while, I changed lots of contact pics to high res but slowly and seemingly at random they are becoming low res an dotty, I've also tried at the Google end, importing high res directly to Google contacts but the same happens

The problem you have is because Google compress them.
I use HD Contact Photos from the market. Works quite well.
HERE is the XDA thread.

Thanks for help!
But isn't Google fixed this issue in JellyBean ?
How come I get few contacts in high res ?

Well if they have it hasn't ever done it on mine yet. When I replace them they just go back crap unless I use the app I mentioned.

Just tried this app and I am not sure if it is working as I want to.
Yess, I do have hi-res photos now, but it hasn't updated it in web, so as soon I remove acc (or hard reset phone, eg. new rom) I will need to set-up all over again ?
EDIT: it seems that it updated photo on the web

Little bump. I think this is HTC issue, because when using clean Android or CM 10.1 all photos are high res.
With the app suggested, it all works until I make hard reset or flash a new rom!

Gallery picture viewer on Desire HD slow as hell

Hi
As anyone find a better alternative to the built in gallery app ? some of my pics are high quality and large and it takes for ever for the device to view them. Jerky as hell..
When I viewed the same pics on my HD2 (With WM.6.5.1) they were two times faster.
Any help would be appreciated. I don't mind even paying $20 if only I could find an app that would view pictures fast.
Thanks guys
Funny you say that because i had the same problem, but now its become alot faster over time, i dont know why but it may be the same for you, How long have you had the infamous dhd for
Had my DHD for about a week or so. I'm glad I am not the only one who complains about it. I will see if it gets much better with time. Right now sometimes it's so slow the app kinda freezes for a few seconds from time to time.
Hey...Had the exact same problem...did couple of things...the issue is gone, but not sure which following method helped
1. Installed the OTA update
2. Turned on USB debugging
3. Did a Hard Reset
4. Formatted my SD card with 32KB block size
Am sure anyone of this Should've helped as i don't see the lag in album anymore...
if u happen to try it...please let me know, which one fixes it.
I have this exact issue. Hey v6 can you give instructions on each of those steps and il try them one by one

Install OSmonitor from the market.when your Gallery app happens to be slow open OSmonitor and check if process "/init" is not using 100% CPU.if yes,there is your problem.there are several threads in here about this problem.

Man...y so fast..i was about to PM u the step by step process....now am Jobless..!!!
anyways...Nice to know its faster now...keep playing..!!!
Strangely enough, enabling USB-debugging actually seems to help, thanks!
solved mine by removing big videos
I also had this problem... but it was due to the fact that I had 3 x 1GB movies in the DCIM folder and when these were removed it was a lot quicker at showing the 120+ thumbnails and also in creating them.
I use JustPictures ! Great App.

Pixelation problem for picture contact on Xperia TX

I found the picture phone book seems to be pixelated even if I select high resolution pic and crop it. What should be the picture resolution size for using as picture contact? My old X10 doesn't do that and do show pic in high resolution without pixelated. Why my new TX picture phone book is pixelated? Any help is appreciated.
Also, what should be the picture resolution size for using as wallpaper? Thanks

I guess it's not the phone limiting the resolution it's Google! You can select high res pictures and they're shown nice on the phone but only a low res image is synched. You won't notice it until you reset your phone or switch over to an other phone - which is what you did right now...

But even I select new high res pic for phonebook, it show bad pixelation on contact.........I installed HD caller ID and it fixed the caller ID problem but when I browse the contact list, it still show pic contact in low res pixelation. I think Sony need to fix it in next firmware upgrade.

Hide whatsapp images/video from Sony Album

Hi Guys,
I'm having a huge problem, coming from IOS is a huge change.
Android is so open! (in a good way) anyway on IOS whatsapp images/videos never show on the stock photo album...
Android is totally different it shows everything! not good when your nephew is able to get hold of the phone..and let's say there's some pics I don't want him to see which the mrs sent...
I've been through the .nomedia way of doing it which works when using QuickPic as the photo viewer which I'm happy with as my photo viewer now...But I really hate Sony's own version but it doesn't work with Sony Album app the pics are all viewable also I cannot UN-install the app also which makes it findable if your looking through all apps.
Surely there is a easy way around this? with how many people in the world with ANDROID & WHATSAPP...
Any help?
Thanks
EDIT 1: Seems if you press SHOW HIDDEN in QUICK PIC it shows all the pictures again!
EDIT 2: You can set a password to see the hidden files so that's sorted

WhatsApp's video problems, please HELP me I'm desperate!!

Hello guys, I'm very desperate to find a solution to my problem, which is that when I record a video (with the stock camera) and try to send it through whatsapp it later kind of converts itself in a slow motion video (I DON´T HAVE IDEA HOW THE F* IT DOES THAT). If I watch the video recorded with the stock camera on the gallery it looks normal, nothing weird, but after I send it to someone through whatsapp the video now has bad audio synchronization and the movements look like if it was a slowmo video.
I've already tried uninstalling, previous versions of whatsapp, tried installing the most recent versions of it downloaded directly from their official web page, I even unrooted my phone reinstalled my official rom which is PL10 - B839 (Emui 3.1 - Lollipop 5.1.1), I did the factory reset...but nothing have fixed this utterly annoying problem. I don't know what else I can try, please help me guys!!!
You didn't need to do all that. WhatsApp has limit on file size you can send and it changes the framerate when you try sending a big file size video. The best way around this is to lower the quality of the video recording in camera settings.
Hi @HowlingSoul, did you get a solution for this? My wife has it on her phone (Huawei) as well. I can't get rid of it! Uninstalled / Reinstalled Whatsapp, cleared phone storage, reset full phone including full format but to no avail.
@sarcastical; it's not that at all. It happens with short videos, long videos etc etc. The sound is still in actual "rate" so to say. Lowering the camera settings has 0 impact.

No, I haven't found a solution for this problem and WhatsApp still doesn't give me a reply for my email explaining it. Maybe you can also send an email to them to this address [email protected]. If you have rooted your devices I recommend unrooting them and testing if the problem goes away (in my case it didn't, I just rooted my phone to change the font style). I had to send the email directly from Gmail because when I sent it through WhatsApp - Contact Us they saw that I had root in my device and just ignored my email. Please keep sharing everything related to this so we can find a solution.

Hmm that's very strange, send an email to them too to [email protected] I hadn't had this problem.
Sorry was gone for a bit ...
It all of a sudden worked for 1 day! I got a nice video of my kid in actual motion. Of course I hadn't changed anything. But then the next day all back to slow motion again ... I will send them an email. My phone is unrooted.

Hi guys!! I have good news, with the new update (2.16.107) the video problem is gone! now I can normally record a video (even a 1080p video) and send it through WhatsApp and it will look normal and the audio is now properly synchronized too! Please, tell me if the update works for you too.
They didn't answer my email though.

Hi guys! Well.....this issue exists as of today with the P9 Plus! Also there are issues with Snapchat too, where the camera auto zooms and other sound issues. Why does Huawei keeps having these odd camera issues with the most popular apps! We just hope they fix it with an update soon....maybe never!

Gallery problem mixing all photos in Camera Roll

Im having a problem WITH the gallery and is that when i receive a pic from let's say a whatapps group chat, it appears in the camera roll of the stock camera. Is there a walk around or fix to this?
Maybe change the gallery for another?
In the s7 this doesnt happens.
Thanks for the help
I'm facing the same issue, whole gallery is messed up. I have thousands of pictures neatly sorted in different folders and gallery mixes them all up together and shows them in date order, absolutely the last thing i want.
post a fix if you find one.
Bump
anyone having this problem?
not having this problem.
Are you guys using "Albums"?
pictures or events will go by date
albums will be by folder A-Z and in each photo it will be by date

No dont use it. But i use other apps and there photos either go into a folder download or its labelt with the apps name.
So it could be a problem with whatsapp downloading into the dcim folder.

Oh ok i think i get what your saying.
You go to gallery and its in WA alone with your camera folder download etc...
But when you open the camera app and scroll through the pictures. You see all your folders mix in by date?
VS only whata in the camera folder?

Exactly. in the s7 you will see only the pics taken not every pic by date
Yea i just tested that out.
I dont remember it doing that on the s7 edge.
It probably has to do with the new camera app.
If enough peopke submit it to samsung via online chat or calling then. They will end up fixing it.
Simply tell then its a Security risk.
I remember they updated the s7 edge. Befor you could doble tap to open camera. Take a picture then view the other pictures in the camera phot.
When they updated it it has a lock screen and wont let you view the other photos until you unlock the phone.

Is gallery part of Samsung software or is it part of Android?

gallery is android but the camera app is sumsung.
And the problem is the way they are talking to each other.
but both app start from the basic android code so its possible they coded the gallery different, but most of the time the gallery remands the same and the camera app is the only one that gets change.
I remember pull camera app from different phones long ago.
When you open gallery, it defaults to show all pics together, from all different folders, sorted by date. Now, inside gallery you can choose albums tab, that shows it properly in folders, but when camera access gallery, you dont get album option anymore and it's a mess. It's gallery issue, I don't like the way it works now, but I guess I would have to be rooted to install older version? And we don't have root yet, SUCKS.
