I noticed when I get a message on hangouts the photo on the watch is pixelated. Is there a way to fix that? When i get calls the contact photo on the watch is fine so not sure why the hangouts photo looks pixelated.
No fix currently. Its pulling pictures from the phone notification (not the same as contact picture)... since notification pictures are much smaller, their resolution is much lower. There is currently no fix Hopefully their will be.

Just seen the video of galaxy ta. could we not use the phone app from that in some way. It has larger contact pictures and video call feature. Our galaxy s pictures when we call suck big time. All burry low res and small and i kinda like the white background from the tab too. What you guys think?

does anyone know a way to improve the quality and increase the size of the contact pictures?
If yours contacts in Google contacts, then you make new Contact in the Phone memory.
Only name + picture, after that you should to link phone mem contact to same google contact.
Phone memory contact has priority:
1. you will see better picture
2. you can change the ring too
cons:
- you have to duplicate all google contacts to phone memory (name + better pic)
Yeah, I guess the only way to have high res images is to have them locally .
P.S Video calling is already available on SGS. Interface is not as nice as in Tab but it works.
Hi everyone,
There's a really annoying problem with the Samsung contacts provider (which isn't present in vanilla Android). The placeholder for the picture is square, and thus the profile pictures get squashed into 1:1 aspect ratio, instead of being cropped.
The problem isn't evident on Google contacts, since the Google profile pics come in a 1:1 aspect ratio originally. Facebook, however, has two profile pics per person - the full-size one, which is usually not square, and the small, cropped one (the one that appears on the wall posts, etc.). Samsung contacts app takes the uses the full-sized pictures. But since it doesn't know how to crop them, it just squeezes them into squares instead, which looks awful.
Anyone has a solution to that? In Vanilla messaging app which I use, the picture looks fine - it's not cropped and not squeezed, it just doesn't take up the whole square. Same goes for Dialer One. But I want to use the Samsung dialer, as well as Samsung Contacts - and they distort the pictures.
So is there any fix on receiving blurry video messages from iphones or any other phones? anything that will make it come clearer?
Whether its a picture message or video message, its has to be compressed to be sent. What you can do its use a third party messaging program like Viber, Groupme, Snapchat, etc.
Would anybody know any way to get better picture quality when sending a picture through text/messenger?
The picture looks nice in the gallery but when compressed too much it craps out :crying:
Anyone? Photos keep compressing and ruining quality for the most part
The quality of a photo sent through SMS is determined by the network protocol. They're generally going to be terrible. Use WhatsApp or a data service. Or email.
Hi,
When i take selfies with my standard camera app my pictures are fine but when i want to take one on other apps like snapchat or messenger they first seem to be sharp but then after like a second or so they become blurry. Does anyone know how to fix this!!
Thanks.
