Just discovered that if you store pictures using the naming convention for the OEM contact avatars (i.e. ~Avatar-nn.png), they appear on the screen to add as contact pictures, but not in Slideshow or Album.
Result!

Hi,
Kinda new to this touch business, is there anyway that you can have multiple albums so you can archive pics better, rather than just having a picture albums with hundreds of pics to go through? i.e family, contacts, fun etc etc etc
Thanks in advance,
DV
yes... put them in whatever directory... you set which ever directory as you favorite its one default shown on the Tab but you click albums.. and brows if a dir has pics it will show as an album
How to I make the exported pictures from my computer to my phone be kept at the original resolutions? Them seem to become thumbnails when I look at them in my Album.
So I took some pix of my friends and decided to save them to contact list. But i've noticed the picture is pretty blurry when they call me as the picture pops up. Is there a way to make the pictures in contact list brighter?
Thanks

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..
Hello!
It's been a few day since a have this weird problem.
When I go into contacts, I don't get a profile picture of all the contacts linked with facebook. I do get the little blue/white "f" (facebooklogo) in the lower left corner of the picture of the standard contact avatar, but no profile picture.
When I then go to edit the contact, it does show the facebook profile picture in the upper right corner (right under the "X"). Clicking on it opens a window called "Set Contact Photo", and I select "Facebook Profile" again. But it doesn't change a thing...
So the pictures are stored on my device yet it won't display them in my contactslist.
Does anyone know a solution for my problem??
Thanks!
Have you moved your HTC Album cache to the SD card recently?
Either that or remove it and then browse through photos in the album tab.

I haven't moved it. Also removing all the cache doesn't solve the problem ...
I tried to find the place where all the profile pictures are stored but I can't find it.
I just got my S8 today. On my s6 I was able to easily add photos to individual contacts. However I cant see how to do this on s8. I have read online about opening the contacts app, selecting edit and press the camera icon. But there is no camera icon. All edit does is allow me to edit the contact name number and email address.
What am I missing here? How do I add the photos on contacts?
You click on particular contact name: you'll see 4 icons with rightmost being details: click on that, big camera is above the name: click on that and you'll have camera on to take picture you can save. I have not figured out how to pick pictures already taken from gallery yet. If you imported contacts from your old phone, older pictures should transfer as well.
I created a folder that has all my Contact picture headshots in it. The only was I got this to work was to copy the actual photos directly into the Gallery folder. You cannot copy the entire folder. At least not for me. When I copied the entire folder over, Gallery did not recognize it. When I copy and pasted all the individual photos, it did not recognize them until I rebooted the phone. At least then it recognized them. I was using Exchange for Outlook. It keeps overwriting the locally attached profile pics or something was causing them from going from large photos to small ones . At the end of the day, I ended up going back and attaching photos on my laptop thru Gmail and then having Gmail automatically sync those with my phone. Make sure you have Gmail selected under Contacts. The only other issue I am trying to solve now is to find a Caller ID program that shows large contact photos on incoming and outgoing calls.
1. Select photo from Gallery
2. From options menu select Set as contact picture
3. From the contacts list choose the contact
4. Crop the photo
5. Press Done

Go to contact, click edit then *click on contact picture. Under the camera mood there are cartoon characters in boxes select the yellow flower with a white background on the buttom left hand side click it. It will take you to your album where you can select whatever picture u want to save as the contact picture. I hope this help I just did it. Wish I can post a video on how to. Bye
