Contact pixelated images

Hello!
Previously had the HTC Sensation XE and am now migrated to the HTC one
On the ONE all contact pictures are displayed pixelated. All the apps, which should solve the problem do not work. Also, I turned off the sync with Google without success.
Do anyone have any advice or a solution?
cheers
PS: On the Sensation Xe all contact pictures were displayed without problems!
If you have the contact photos stored on your phone then re-choose them one by one it will solve the problem.
Some of my contacts I synchronised them from their facebook accounts and their photos were clear but the ones synchronised from Google were not
Hope this helps.

If you don't sync, then that is the issue.
Because the resolution of the screen is high, HTC made it display the low-res images with the pixellated look. When you sync the contacts with facebook or google then the high-res images are downloaded and displayed without the pixellation effect

I can only say that this is what happened for me. When I synchronized, then the pictures became clear.

This happens when the contact pic are of low resolution..try manually putting a new contact image for someone..and check it then..it will be clear..not pix-elated..
this is a well known issue with google, if you attach a picture from your gallery the resolution will stay. after sync with google, the picture gets downsized and resulting in low res pictures. had this issue with my past android phones and it's all over the net. some pics will "retain" their quality, but not as much as attaching pictures for the first time, you can see low res pictures when you click the contacts and see them in circles. hope this helps :cyclops:

What about some alternative camera aplication ?
I don't use such personally, but I am pretty sure, there are plenty of apps like this. For example: Vignette

[Q] Increase Contact Photo Quality?

Is there a way to increase the quality of the contact photos in Android 6? I've noticed when I receive a phone call, through Google Hanouts especially, the photo quality is HORRIBLE! Very, very pixelated.
Are there any tweaks or add-ons to fix this?

what size photo did you use? if you use a tiny photo, it'll look like that, as it is made larger. use a large photo and it looks decent. the size of the photo is its quality.

The original photo was 2340 × 4160, then the OS cropped it to size when adding it to the contact, so I don't know what size it ended up being. It seems like the majority of the contact photos look this way. It's very rare for one to actually look good.
Maybe the trick is to pre-size them to the right aspect ratio, then select it as a contact photo so no cropping is needed?

2340x4160 is, or should be, fine. all the contact photos I see on my phone appear fine, but I only added mine(and its fine as well).
If you're rooted and use xposed framework work you can download a module called "Clarity", and that's its main purpose is to increase the quality of contact photos. I use it myself and it works great.

Just installed it the other day, from the XDA Thread that the app points too, it shows as development had stopped on it. Plus, from what I could gather, it only "enhanced" the Thumbnail portion of the contact display, not the full screen contact that shows up when someone calls.
Bummer.
Try adding the pic on a computer and sync via Google. This used to be an issue for a long time on Android, but Google did finally fix it awhile ago.

I can't tell how to fix it but I've noticed the following:
1. When someone from my contact list calls my Google Voice number, Hangouts displays a very pixelated contact image. It's like Hangouts took the small/low-res thumbnail from the chat/SMS section and scaled it all the way up instead of using the full res image from Contacts.
2. On the other hand, when I receive a direct Hangouts call or video call, the caller's contact image is perfectly displayed.

Interesting. Sounds like it may be on Google's end.
