I cant find the default folder for my contact pictures. After installing the latest rom build and doing an activesynch i have all of my contacts on jasjar with the pictures. In outlook 2003 i dont see the pictures when i look up the contact. what is the default folder for pictures used in the contacts app on the jj.
TIA
if your on about the outlook contacts, pictures are embedded into the contact card. once you've added a pict to a contact you can get rid of the actual photo file. I dont delete them just store them on me server as a "just in case"

after several searches, all I have found is 3rd party software suggestions, or no answers
I had a little play, i.e. I took a picture of myself using the contacts option and assigned it to my contact. Sync'd and checked the file sizes etc. 352*288, so I thought, ok, I'll manually resize etc all the photo's I have of my contacts, and painstakingly assigned each photo to the contact...
Here lies the problem...
The photo I took of myself with the Universal is fine, stays as 352*288, however all the manually added ones from external files get resized to a very small res
As a test, I saved my assigned photo from the desktop outlook, copied it to the universal, and manually added it, it then became a rather small image
I've had a trawl through the registry and have come up with nothing.
Before I take the plunge and use Photo Contacts Pro, anyone managed to get the photo's a decent size... heck... 352*288 will do fine, it's darn better than 72*72 :shock:
Strangley enough, I can assign any sized picture to the desktop outlook, but pocket outlook ignores it completely, if I then assign a picture to pocket outlook, it over-rides the desktop outlook :|
Hi,
I have my phone sync'd with my outlook (exchange 2007) and most of my contacts have images that I have chopped to the right size etc.
However, the contact picture that is used for SMS (threaded conversation) seems to be taken from facebook and not the image I saved against my contacts in outlook, or used for when I call someone (I use SPB mobile shell)
is there a way to change this? basically, because not all my friends have pictures of their face as their facebook pic.
ok, so it's not a huge problem..just a bit anoying is all.
On my pc i have set up the main contacts folder and a subfolder which contains all my mobile numbers [all nicely ordered etc!]
Is there anyway I can make the activesynch see this mobiles-sub_folder to sych with rather than just the main "contacts" folder of email addresses?
I tried importing from SIM and the process is screwed up:
What was "John Smith" home number on my SE (backup to SIM)
imports as "forename" - blank
Surname - smith; John/1"
So I don't think I could even use the re-sorting cab file to re-order them first name/Surname and would have to edit >180 contacts unless I can synch with the Outlook Folder.
Help Appreciated!
I didn't even know you could make additional folders in outlook...
You should merge the contacts, as in so that mobile and e-mail address for the same person are in the same contact - as it's meant to be.
If you want to differenciate, use categories.
If you don't want to / can't merge, or they're simply completely different people, I'd assign let's say a "phone" category to all your phone contacts, a "mobile" category to the mobile ones. Then move all the "mobile" ones into the main folder.
You can always filter by category afterwards, both on outlook and on the phone.
Okay thanks
Reading around, I see that ActiveSync can't synch with sub-folder.
It is rather poor that MS software will not do something with MS software than a 3rd party App [that Ericsson provided] will do.
Have anyone found a way to back up the facebook links? It quite tiring to hook up the link one by again after flashing a new rom. Also is there a way to sync the Sense UI contact pictures with winmo outlook contact pictures?
No one i guess???
When you back up your contacts the facebook connection is saved in the notes field of the linked contacts. When you restore the contacts after a flash (and link your 'me' contact card to facebook) the facebook links are restored.

I'm hoping its a file stored somewhere that I can just overwrite?
You should consider this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syncme.syncmeapp&hl=en
You can use it to sync contact photos with your FB contacts or LinkedIn contacts.
Once you sync your photos they are synced with your Gmail cloud and will load even if you get a new phone.
