[Q] Small sized pictures,especially on facebooks newsfeed - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have to use facebook for my job. When i go through my newsfeeds, pictures that are posted by friends or followers are very small on the moblie site... About the size of profile pics. If i click on the pic, it will open the post and it's still just as small. I can click view full size to actually see the picture. Unless i go through this process i can't really see the pic. The rest of the site looks normal. It is happening with all browsers. This didnt happen with my droid x, droid razr max hd or droid x 1st gen. If i go to the desktop site, pictures are normal size. Any help would be great! I attached a pic to show you what i'm talking about. Thanks.

I have the same problem. Anyone ever come up with a solution?

Use FB app or a different browser. Works fine for me on Chrome and in FB app. Possibly a browser setting to conserve data?

I think it might have something to do with Facebook mistaking the new 1080p Moto X for the old 720p Moto X and delivering smaller images. I've reported it to them with some screenshots, but don't expect it to get fixed.

Posted about this a week or so ago. The error happens in Chrome but not Firefox on Lollipop, but not KitKat. One suggestion that was given & actually works is to go to the facebook mobile site & then choose the option to request the desktop site. It'll refresh the mobile site & show the bigger images.
I doubt it's something with facebook itself because it works normally in Chrome on KitKat & only started happening when I upgraded to Lollipop.

Best Twitter app?

I've downloaded Twidroid - haven't tried Peep yet though (!)
What do people recommend...?
Twidroid is for me, without a dubt, better then Peep. More functions and better layout. Having some problems with the notifications and once in a while I have to try twice for it to show a profil page. No deal breaker though
I think The best apps are twidroid , peep and twitterride .
I am not able to post pictures taken with twidroid.. I use add, take photo, then I take photo, done, and it gives me "image can not be decoded"..
Anyone else with this problem?

I also got the same problem and it almost make me go back to my iPhone.
I´m using that function all the time. It works if you select a picture allready taken.
Peep works but it compress the picture so much that it look like crap. And yes I have changed the quality to the best.
Since my Hero runs smooth as butter (thanks to MoDaCo Custom ROM 2.2) I've started using Peep again, which now supports posting in landscape and displays clients the tweets were sent from (which I think is new in this version of ROM). Before that I switched do Twidroid, but never got to like it...
Is it possible to tweak the quality/size of the pictures posted with PEEP?
More than choosing "high quality" in settings.
I think I'd be quite happy with Peep, if it was possible to choose to follow a user using it? But I can't see that option available, unless anyone can help?
Thanks,
James

When you click on someone's profile picture, you get the option to follow/unfollow. Or use the official Twitter text commands - http://help.twitter.com/forums/59008/entries/14020
Has anyone had any success using the Tweeps Around layer in the Layar AR application to find the location of their own tweets?
I've used HTC Peep and Twidroid to post tweets with my GPS location, and then tried to find them on the Tweeps Around layer and though I can see loads of other peoples', my own do not appear....

Cheers,
It was actually that I couldn't find how to "find" someone, if I wanted to follow them. I've found it now though - you use the hard search key to do a search

Official Twitter App in Market

Hi
Can't se this mentioned yet but just to let you know the official Twitter app is in the Market and its awesome especially on CM5.07 Twitter contact sync
Nice >Was< using twidroid, this is much nicer imo. Thanx for the post about it.
Twidroid still better. No browser, no refresh on start up. Animations are for kids.
also is only supported for 2.1 roms.
I really like it. I had been using Touiteur since it came out, but the official app is better overall and much faster at refreshing tweets.

Same here. It's also the first version so it can only get better.
Uh? No retweets with comments possible. It doesn't save the position, you always must scroll down to read the first unread tweet.
Not so very good.
What's it called anyways? As I don't see it in the Market.

I searched for 'twitter' and it came up in the results.
For a first version it is very good but as some have pointed out it's missing features that are very useful, if not almost required. Integrated browser for links, image loading without a browser or via the browser, viewing of profile images and the most important from my perspective - remembering your last position in the list.
It's very fast and the integration with 2.1 is nice, using the same mini-bar option if you push the arrow to the right of someone's tweet. However, until it has the ability to remember your list position and some form of integrated browser I'll be staying with Touiteur Premium.
Does anyone know how to clear old tweets from the timeline? I've been using the app for a few days now, and every tweet I've received during that time is still there, which creates a little sluggishness. It'd be nice to be able to clear the list every once in a while.
Can't seem to find my lists... Yes i can delete and manage them, but i can't see them. What the hell? I think ill just go back to Seesmic... Simple, fast and reliable
Is anyone else having a problem with only a small fraction of your tweets being updated in your timeline? This is what happens for me: lets say I haven't used the app all night, and in the morning when I know I have 100+ new tweets to read, when I hit refresh only ~20 tweets are updated. Then when I scroll down past those 20 latest tweets, there is a huge gap after the 20th tweet. After the 20th tweet, there is a huge jump back to the last time I hit refresh (usually 8+ hours earlier). This only happens on 1.01...it did not happen on 1.00. Anyone else?

[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] Chrome visualization problem

Hi guys, anyone having same problems? This is how the page looks on my phone(only happens on xda), also attachments never downloads and pics don't show. On other sites there are other problems like some different sizes on words and rare things. Screenshots are below.
Yes, I do. It's a problem because the phone try to resize the pages to Vertical mode, so it look like they do not fit. Just rotate the phone in landscape and all will be fine.
It's not only a problem with our Z1.
The same i have with my Nexus 5 too. Only with Chrome on xda pages.

Xperia with Facebook

Anyone tried the Xperia with Facebook feature in 5.1.1 Lollipop versions?
I've tried using it (Go to settings>accounts>add account>Xperia with facebook) it loads for a while but it returns to the menu and nothing happens. I wondered if it changed because I just checked it out a few days after flashing a new stock ROM.
bump. anyone tried this feature? does it work properly for you?
anyone kind enough to check it out for me?
It is nothing special. You just press "Like" to sony mobile page on Facebook and it synchronizes your Facebook events with your Calendar and viceversa. That's all it does.

This feature bloat is completely pointless. On stock ROM, this is one of the many things I remove from my device. If you're going to share on Facebook, use the website.

Actually no. It does upload facebook photos in a much higher quality than uploading it directly on the facebook. (at least when it worked) Have you ever tried it though, did it work on your stock rom?

Facebook compresses your uploaded images regardless of what platform you use - Android app, IOS app, Sony app, website, etc. It doesn't make sense how the Xperia extension somehow uploads a higher quality than through the website. Besides, if the extension is truly hit-and-miss like you said, why are you still using it?

I'll admit, I've never tried it. However, I used GNOME Facebook integration that works similarly to the Xperia plugin on the Linux desktop. Long story short, it was littered with problems, so I just use the website. No issues so far.

I meant to say it did the job when it was still working before Lollipop or this version, plus it did more than that, like sync contacts and whatever although I did not really put it into much use.

I was just concerned about certain functionality, I was worried I might find abnormalities or loopholes from the fresh and pure firmware I downloaded.
