[Q] Bubbled Contact pictures on Sense. On GE all hi-res - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have a quite irritating issue with my One. Most of my contact pictures are bubbled and hardly notable. Only a few are clear and nice. But all of them are 720p resolution. I have this issue on every Sense ROM (IC, ARHD, ...), but yesterday I've tried GE ROM and ALL of the contact pics were downloaded immediately after sync, in full resolution. So it's Sense or more precisely People app issue.
I've tried many things, in short it's totally random. If I set picture to a few contacts some download in full some are bubbled.
Do anyone else have this issue? Is it possible to force People app to download hi-res contact pictures everytime?
I'll be most grateful for any info or solution :good:

[Q] Low res photos on contacts

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!

[Q] How to stop whatsapp taken photos to appear in camera captures?

Hello, I need help with something, I had a nexus 4 and before it a Galaxy Nexus, in those phones or maybe in Google Android Clean OS when I took pictures inside whatsapp the images didnt appear in the "camera captures" folder at the gallery, but since I had the HTC One and previously the HTC One S all images taken inside whatsapp appear on the camera captures and upload automatically to dropbox or htc share,
I have been searching for an answer to this and all that I could find was solving this issue but in iPhone...
If an of you could help me with this?, theres photos that I simply dont want to be shown in the gallery as "taken photos"
thanks.

Full screen caller id

Hi is there a mod to have only the fullscreen caller picture? I tried the gravity one but doesn't work. I am on kk rooted. Thanks
There's a lot of them in Z1 section. Try to find 'em all....
They do work, but not with the latest 108 or higher FW.
It just needs modifying to do that. The modder that did it never updated to the latest FW.

I'm on v133 stock at the moment and it seems to have full screen as default in phone app - unless I'm deluded or something, I can see photos of my contacts on full screen when the call comes in.
Truth to be told, I had to update all my friends photos in contacts app, but once I did it, their photos display full screen without any problems. I'm on this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/stock-14-4-0-133-t2887081 and didn't apply de-odex patch yet. Also no MODs installed in Xposed.
Can you do a screenshot please

the size of the caller's picture is still a puzzle to me?
My contacts are in sync with google. When i bought this phone I sync' ed contacts and got small pictures, so I spent 1h reassigning new pictures directly on the phone, and since then i started having full screen pictures. Then I upgrade with flashtool and, due to a problem, I reset all data, so i had to re-sync contacts, and the caller's pictures, altough the new ones, were small again.
I believe it is still the sam old story with google: when you assign a new contact picture from the phone, the phone keeps the hi-res one while google resizes the photo.

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.

I still have this problem :'( . I'm still waiting for their response to my email, if they tell you something or how to fix this please share it.
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!

Haha good question....the photo gallery is sorting and displaying in a strange way....newest on the bottom and u have to scroll up to see older ones.
Any other app even messaging ones display newest on the top so the phone gallery app is pretty annoying.
Yeap hope OPPO can let us set it in our preferred way, it annoying when you got a lot of photos on top but need to scroll all the way down to see the new shot that we make.
