Hello there guys, i just got my Edge, and i cant figure out a way of syncing my facebook contact pictures with my contacts, i know there is the facebook natural option of importing the picture, but the picture's stay blurry , is there any app or option that i can sync with HD picture?
- I used to use "haxsync" but it doesn't work now
Thanks for you'r time
All my pics are fine. Not blurry at all.

Hello.
I've been wondering, why some of the photos which I place in quick contacts (in the touchFLO thing) looks good or bad?
All of those photos which I place there are big and I have no idea why some of them are shown very badly.
Do you know to fix that?
Possible Solution...
Hi there.
I also had this problem. What I found out is, that reloading the picture directly using the TouchFlo Interface (should be: Menu->Change Picture...) helps to improve the quality.
Re
yes, just go to the camera album, and add them to a contact via the option there, then they are perfect, I had the same problem before...
I might be wrong but this is most likely to do with Outlook
I sync my contacts with Outlook and all my pictures but the recent ones had pictures assigned via outlook.
Those few that were assigned by the phone (in contacts) come out very clear and excellent quality
Those assigned in outlook are grainy at best
Outlook compresses (heavily) the pictures so unless there is a way around this, you are better assigning the pictures on your phone
as they said, you have to asigne your pictures threw the htc album, then will then keep all the good quality

If this is the case I reckon it is a crap solution. Wonder if there is a way to tell Outlook not to compress the images so much. Also I notice if you change the photo on the phone side the new photo does not migrate across to Outlook. So if you ever reflash your phone all these changes will be lost.
check out the thread below for solutions on how to add contact pics at better resolutions...

This is proving to be a real pain. At first when my phone synced with Outlook all the pictures where bad quality, so I placed a new folder in My Pictures called contacts and placed 15 contact pictures of good quality in there to use. I asigned each picture to the contacts and all looked great.
Next day I sync my phone and all the pics are imported from outlook again and look ****. Sooooo, I change them all back again with my contact pictures and change the sync settings to "replace items on desktop". Trouble is now, those 15 contacts will not sync at all and I get an error.
is it possible?
I would like to know this too, currently they are shocking.
(from what I found on the web) Apparently the facebook app saves small thumbnails, and they look bad when blown up on hi-res phones.
As a workaround you can try to set a google contact photo manually instead http://www.google.com/contacts.
update: this does not work either so its not just a facebook app issue.
One of my contact pictures is set through the phone via a photo i took with the camera, it still looks ****e. I can't think of any workaround.

yup, contact images set via google contacts show up blurry too
facebook for HTC is using hi res facebook profile picture when synching to contacts..
i switched to sense UI the other day and i found out contact synching with facebook using facebook for HTC not the normal android facebook app.
One of the developers had tried in the past to make the dialer show the contact photo filling the entire screen. Unfortunately Google resizes the images to 96px (if my memory is still working.<EDIT: Memory is working! yay!>) This is a setting we don't have any control over, its something google has set, above and beyond our control.
EDIT: This is the thread where pics are reported to revert back to 96px after they sync with google.

Then again, I'm not sure if anyone has tried to just call the images locally off the sdcard or something along the lines. (The problem would be, once you lose your phone, all the contact photos would be gone.) No sure if anyone has tried this before, if not, I might take a whack at it.
Man...didn't notice 'til I read this thread...LoL.
Hi!
Just got my hands on a Xperia Z1 and I am very impressed with it!
I've always had android phones and I'm used to the OS etc, however I'm having problems with my contacts not being synced to their Facebook accounts, specifically the pictures.
Previously the pictures automatically synced with each contact, so I get a nice picture on my contact list and messages, however this isnt the case now! I've synced with FB and had no success at all, so i'm wondering if there is a simple fix for this that I'm not doing?
Apologies if this is a subject that is getting repeated!
Thanks in advance! :good:
What FB-sync did you use? Facebook's own app or Sony's Xperia with Facebook account functionality?
The latter allows you for syncing the photos of your contacts, while Facebook's own application doesn't. Just go to the accounts and add a "Xperia with Facebook"-account.
Wondering how Picasa sync works with this phone. I was sending pictures using Hangouts and it seems that when I look in Gallery it shows those pics with the Picasa symbol on it. The problem is that I can't delete it. I have the Picasa software install on my PC and it doesn't even show there. Nor does it show in an app that manages Picasa photos.
Not even sure why those pics were uploaded. I have Google + Photo auto upload turned off...which I don't think is associated with Picasa.
Any insights on this would be appreciated! Thanks.
Did you check your sync settings? Try turning off Picasa Web Uploads.

That does not delete the images. That only removes the syncing from that phone you're using. When you replace it with a new phone, they will show up again. What is the source of those photos? How do you delete them there???
All photos posted in a Google hangout get auto backed up to your Google+ photos. Each hangout conversation should have it's own album in the Photos section of Google+.
If you don't want the photo you are sending to get backed up just turn the "history" off on the chat before you send the photo. You can turn it back on after the photo is sent if you want.

Hello everyone,
I have spent a couple of hours now to solve a problem, but I have no ideas anymore.
I let Facebook sync contacts and therefore I get contact photos in my contacts from Facebook (I have no custom contact photos). When I use the stock contacts or phone app, I successfully can see these.
However, when I use a contacts app like for example Rocket Dial (I tried about 5 different ones tho) - I only see 1 or 2 % of these photos. Really most contacts have no photo. When I open a contact that has no photo from within Rocket Dial in order to edit the contact, then of course the contact has it's photo again, because then the stock contacts editor is opened.
Any ideas what I could try or do to get photos back in my contacts in third party contacts apps / dialer?
Thanks for your input,
RURon.
