TF3D crashes adding contacts to shortcuts

I have noticed that syncing contacts with my mac through "missing sync" when I try to add a contact to the "shortcuts list" (the tab "people") tf3d crashes on save.
I think it happens with contacts with a picture added.
no problem if I sync with exchange. the problem is that I am giving up my exhange account in order to keep mobileme and no other mail service.
any suggestion?

You are right, i have the same problem.
This must be a bug in Missing Sync.

I don't think its a bug in missing sync because the pictures load properly in the phone agenda. You can see them when you clic on a contact. Maybe there are stored with a different format or size that is not supported by TF3D.
Anyway this bug is really annoying, and still not fixed in ROM 1.93
A lot of my contacts have a picture, can't add them.
How can we report it to HTC ?

Same here, but ...
I have the same problem , but not for all contacts.
Sync with MAC. I think that the problem with internal pic format the contacts application is compressing the picture. If pic. size is small enough (not too big , let say) everything is OK.\

Today i wanted to test the problem with SyncMate.
But i couldn't get it to work with my Diamond.
Could anybody test it with SyncMate, if there is a Picture-Add-Problem in TF3D too?

I have tested with syncmate and I have the same issue

I get an answer from the MarkSpace-Support:

I have the solution!
When you reduce the pixels of your photos in your contacts on the mac to 120x120 pixels, and then use Missing Sync, all will work!
Now you can add your contact to the favorits in TF3D!

is there a way to do this with the mac address book.app ?
i only have this zoom slider for my pictures but no way to actually reduce the size of the picture, do i?
thanks for help

yeah i figured it had to do with the size..i noticed that after i changed the sizes of my contact pix and added them to the diamond, problem solved...but then once i synced with my mac, i noticed it changed the pix some how some way...it added some sort of a black frame around it which caused the crashing...

but is there a way to lower the size without having to add every pic again?
can i just somehow reduce size?

i use this as a template, then i crop the images to fit this, and it works great

[Q] Problem witch contact pics

Hello. I have a problem with contact pictures on Mini. Just yesterday I had all my contacts organized and merged. And everyone had their pictures synced from skype, and other apps. Then I wanted to update from CM7 RC5.2 to CM7 RC5.4. Of course I did`n want to lose all my organized contacts so I backed them up with MyPhoneExplorer. After I updated to RC5.4 I restored all my contacts. Then I noticed that I have to merge all my contacts again. That wouldn`t be a problem, but then I noticed that there are no contact pictures anymore. Well just for 3 people from over 40 have pictures.
I have tried to sync all applications and nothing changed. After I noticed that when I view my contacts on MyPhoneExplorer, every contact have their image as it should be. But my phone for some reason doesn`t want to show them (yes, I have enabled to show contact pictures).
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks.
P.S. Sorry I wrote a big mess here but I`m half asleep.

same
same thing happens to me..hoping for a fix or an explanation.but still.squad's works are awesome!

[Q] Google Contacts Pictures with dot filter

Hi All,
Setup my device last night, and a while ago, I started creating all my phone contacts as google ones, so that on restore, or setting up a new device, syncing my google account would bring all my numbers down.
However I noticed something a little bit strange. Some of my contacts appear to have their pictures there, and look fine in the small thumbnail in the people app, but when opening up the picture, it has a strange dot filter applied to it.
I use HaxSync to add facebook pictures as my google contact pictures, and when viewing them from a web browser they are fine. Doesnt seem to happen to all, just a few.
Anyone encountered this too? Any ideas about how to get around it? Seems very odd
Regards
Jonny

Update, well there was definitely something strange going on, and I haven't figured it out, but as a work around, in gmail (on a PC) I exported all my contacts to a google file. This neglects to export images that are on the contacts.
I then deleted all my contacts and synced my phone up, basically removing all contacts, and removed HaxSync. I then imported my saved contacts and instead of using a third party app to get high resolution photos for contacts, I did a contacts sync from the facebook app direct.
The images pulled still seem to be of decent clarity so maybe its something to do with the way the phone (or contacts app) parses images that are embedded into your google contacts.
I actually remember reading in a review about this filter too - trying to find it, but not that important now really.
Anyway. If anyone figures out why it does it then that would be good, and probably helpful to others at some point

From my understading HTC have been quite clever
Google contacts as a general rule of thumb (pardon the pun) use small thumbnails. Only recently have they started using higher quality thumbnails for contacts. Anyway, if the image is of low quality instead of it being pixelated and looking like sh*t, they basically add the dot matrix filter to make it look a bit more professional. To be fair, hats off to HTC it works and they are the first people i've seen attempt such a thing.
The secret is to get gmail contacts all high res, the problem is i am still struggling on just how to do that, seemed to work fine on my nexus but it varies from one device to another, pain in the arse in all honesty.

Ah that seems to make sense. That would explain why it would happen on only a few specific pictures.
The Facebook contact sync still seems to be working well, and there are only a few that have the filter now. I might go and double check to if those that are filtered have low resolution pictures on their Facebook account.

That is OK and definitely solve the problem. But to do it contact by contact having 1400 people in register and approx half of them are pictured, then it may be be time consuming process Interestingly I have not had this problem with my recently purchased xperia Z. Would be fine to solve it with an updated patch.

[Q] Contact pictures issue on HTC One

Hello,
I synced my HTC One with Exchange server, and since most of my contact have pictures, they were also synced. However, most pictures have some strange grid over. This looks weird. Anyone else with this issue? And how to resolve?
