Distorted photos - HTC Home (contacts tab) - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

The photos of my contacts on HTC Home are slightly distorted due to the original photos being resized to fit in.
However, my contacts' pictures were resized on my PC for MS Outlook.
The pictures are fine when VIEWING the contact information (full contacts list)
The pictures are fine when using another software like SPB Shell or SPB Phone Suite
The same distortion problem arises with the HTC Cube.
Is there a fix?

"The contacts picture sizes are all clearly stated on the Touch Manual. I know that no one reads the manuals often (including myself) but here what it says (Page 160 of the English HTC Touch Manual)
Contacts Picture / Capture size setting:
Large (480x640)
Medium (240x320)
Small (120x160)
All the resolutions give sharp and crisp pictures on the Cube no matter if taken with the Touch camera or imported through ActiveSync after cropped/resized on your PC to the above resolutions."

I'm going to have to test this if the picture is made in the below resolutions, BUT... added to MS Outlook contacts and then synchronized.

contacts pictures

i found that the contacts pix are too small,
does anyone know a way to enlarge those, thank you
Even i find the same issue. Theya are thumbnail size. Anyone on this?
What resolution do the caller images have? So i can start converting my photos.
In the TV Series "Knight Rider (2008)" the Xperia displayed the caller photo in full 800 x 480 but i guess that was just a trick for the TV show if you think the photos are to small...

Trick to save high resolution picture to Outlook Contact

Edited: 9 Jan 2009
S2V can be use to add a high-res picture to Outlook Contact directly without any complication^^ : suggested by emwdava
Hi ^^
As I switched from ASUS P525 to XPERIA which has 480*800 display, my old contact pictures seem to be a bit outdated. So I looked in to it and found out that Outlook 2007 has very limited resolution for contact picture.
Later on Ive learned that Inesoft Phone have the ability to import up to 240*240 picture into Outlook Contact(but thats not satisfy me).
Ive searched the web and this forum and found the wanted program "iContact BE 7.0 beta2". http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402724
This program can import any resolution picture into the Outlook Contact (use original picture size in setting).
But again (I think it is a bug) when I import big picture (approx 300px+) it will make that contact unsyncable(sync fail).
After trying for many hours , I've got a trick for it.
1. Import large picture into the contact by using iContact BE.
2. Use Inesoft Phone to edit the picture, just open picture selection screen, click preview, then click ok(without touching the picture)
3. And now the cantact can be sync normally ^^
This may be just a little finding but I hope it helps.
Any comments are welcome ^^
which version of Inesoft Phone did you use to achieve this?
Inesoft Phone 4.4
S2V can also save a high quality picture to a contact.
And it's free.
A-C S2V
Or you could just do it the other way around, i.e. add the high res picture to your contact on your phone, which works.
But can it still sync without problems with Outlook after that?
Ive overlooked this method as I'm using only Inesoft Phone ^^
So...., Tested.
The picture can be add normally, sync fine.
BUT! This method just add that picture as picture attachment(noticed by clip icon in Outlook) and save only 108*108 picture into Outlook database(just right-click on the picture in outlook and copy then paste it in picture editing program to verify). This mean that any other programs(including CallerID) will see the picture as 108*108 pixels image.
As emwdava said that S2V and add the hi-red picture directly.
Tested and works!!! perfectly ^^

yeah 240x240 sucks
Does anyone know of a comparable product to S2V for the desktop to allow high resolution photos to be added to Outlook contacts on the desktop as opposed to on the Windows Mobile device? S2V works very well for adding the photos on the Windows Mobile device, but for adding photos to many contacts it's much easier to work on the desktop so I'd love to find a comparable product?

still searching...
Outlook Pictures.
I should have thought that by now Microsoft would have fixed their contacts that we shall be able to add high resolution pictures and off course get them synced.
I hope they will pick up this matter in their 2010...
Still looking for a way to assign high resolution pictures to an outlook contact on my desktop-pc...
Is there any change with outlook 2010?
Outlook 2010 resizes contact pictures that have been added to 314x314 pixels IMHO - definitely better than the 72x72 pixels I got with Outlook 2003/2007.
Still, if someone knows a way to add highres pictures on the desktop to contacts I would be very much interested in this. I've searched the documentation for the .NET Outlook connector and I have not found how this can be done in C#.
Since iTunes can add high-res pictures (that have been set on the phone) back to Outlook 2003/2007, it must be possible somehow :-(

I had this problem before when I was attaching the contact pic using outlook, then syncing to the phone.
But the blurry picture problem disappeared after I transferred the picture onto the phone's memory, then manually attached it to each contact (ie Open Contact List > Edit Contact > click on the silhouette on the top right hand corner > Open Album > then tap on the picture... That then gives the option to adjust the sizing of the picture..
Hope this helps
thanks so muchhhhhh
Finally fixed
I also had this problem, but now I finally found a way to fix this.
Install outlook 2010. Outlook 2010 has the automatic option to attach High Res contact pictures.
So what you need to do is:
- Install Outlook 2010
- Add your contact pictures again, and Outlook will put the High res version into your contact.
Good luck!!
If you sync will Google, then there is no fix. If you sync with Windows Live or Outlook (like mentioned above) you should have high res pictures.
my contact pics are linked from Facebook profiles.. does not seem to look blurry in my case..

Sharper images on contacts in favorites tab?

It seem some of the images I'm using for my contacts are very dimmish and low quality, yesterday when I had SPB MS installed (I hard reset my phone today) I edited my contacts in there and then they showed up awesome in Sense also.
So what can I do to fix this?
I get much better contact picture fidelity if i've linked them with facebook accounts. Any existing picture I had of that contact is replaced with their current facebook picture, is automatically updated and is much better quality.
