I have an HTC Imagio, and when I first got it, the contact pictures imported from FaceBook looked great. I have since wiped the phone a few times and reinstalled everything and now the photos look blurry and lame. I cant find any setting anywhere that seems to impact this. Any ideas?
Never mind I think I figured it out. I sync my contacts with Gmail, it looks like when the phone gets the piic from facebook its fine, but then active sync kicks in and sync's the contact then the pic resolution changes somehow
I've done more testing and its pretty obvious its a gmail thing. When I sync contacts with hotmail it works fine. As soon as I sync with gmail all the pics go to crap.
Just to confirm your theory Exchange activesync doesn't distort them. So must be gmail.
FYI I had this same problem when I synced with Outlook. I had contact pictures saved in Outlook and when I synced over to my phone they were all blurry. I had to replace them all and now I use MS Myphone to sync contacts.
i sort of have a simailiar issue.
When scrolling through contacnts they start out blurry but then when the icon changes to facebook they become clear. I am synced to Exchange with Activesync

Hi guys,
I got an HD2 last week (an outstanding phone so far) and immediately synced it up via Active Sync to my Microsoft Outlook email account. All the emails flooded in as they should. But now I can't update my emails wirelessly, only when I sync up. Thus I set up the same account again in it's original btinternet form. I hope you're still with me.....This account is fine and updates as it should.
So, at the moment I've got the same email account setup twice with only one functioning properly and, as the title of this thread suggests, I want to delete the non-functioning Outlook account from the handset if I can. I've tried all the obvious methods ie going to mail, menu, account settings, delete and selecting the Outlook account, but all I get is 4 coloured dots rotating on the screen and no joy. I left it overnight and the dots were still spinning this morning! I've also deleted all the emails in the Outlook inbox, thinking that maybe they were causing the delay but that hasn't helped. Are there any other options or am I doing anything wrong?
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
Thanks
bascially, connect it up to sync again, and then on the sync cilent you de-select syncing of mail. it will then remove it!
As easy as that eh? Yep, that worked! I'm new to all of this so thanks for the tip.
Now check for pink splodges on your camera pictures
No, none of those luckily! A bit of a pink tinge but once it focusses, the camera quality is actually quite good.
I am facing a general problem with facebook integration in my new Legend. I've set up a facebook sync. When I link a contact in phone (google contact) with a contact from facebook, I can't afterwards see the albums of the contact or see the updates in people application. The link is working, because I am able to set the contact picture also from facebook, but updates and albums from facebook are not working. I tried also to hard reset the device and set it up again, but it did not help. Aren't you facing the same problem? I've opened a ticket to HTC, but I have to wait until they receive a Legend to their office :-D.
I'm signed in to the Facebook using Friend Connect application and in the detail of the contact in "People" application I can see updates for each connected Google contact <- Facebook contact. Updates are working for the Facebook status as well as for photos.
A cannot check it with Twitter, because I do not have any valid contact there
so, now the problem is solved. I started to have also problems with gmail contacts which refused to sync with gmail. Syncing was so strange, it was duplicating 2 contacts every time in gmail ... grrr horrible.
Then I deleted all contacts in gmail, also all contacts in phone, I cleared the cache for google contacts app. Afterwards I restored contacts from my last .csv backup in gmail and after sync all contact were back in phone. I lost all photos of my contacts, so I had to link most of them with facebook contacts. But it solved the problem. The integration with facebook is working again .. I was very happy yesterday.
Great
Thanks for the info
ive had to flash my phone and it resync'd with outlook and all my contact pictures on htc hd2 (ALMOST 100 of them have pictures) are blurry..
is there a easy fix for this? or do i have to manually fix them all by searching my caller id pics on storage card?
Thanks for any help
I've the exact same question...
I thought this happened with just using gmail sync with outlook but it appears from your posts that it's an outlook issue. I tried shooting contact pics from the phone, setting the pics online, and same thing each time.
So I switched to syncing my contacts with MyPhone and they are nice and clear. No more blur
outlook defaults to 128x128 and I have yet you find a fix as I expect exchange servers will maintain there size also. to get your hi-res pics back you need to link them though sense again either manually or by facebook.
it might be worth a forum search to see if anyonI has found a fix
No fix to it.
Instead I just backup my contacts with pim backup, it's very easy and fast.
I do not update my contacts too much so I'm happy with that. It's worth it.
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!!
Am i missing something ? for some reason i cant get my facebook contacts (account) photos to synch up with my google /phone contacts and merge them together. previously on my HTC Evo this was done automatically and i had the option to sync all contacts, sync with existing contacts and this would allow peoples pictures to synch up properly. Is there something with the N4 thats different thats not allowing me to do that. thanks for the advice

This phone doesn't have native Facebook integration as do HTC phones, it's vanilla android after all. So its an issue with the Facebook app and eventually Facebook will fix it but don't hold your breath waiting for them they are slow. Most of my contact pictures synced up but I had some that refused to so I downloaded the app Contact Sync for Facebook and problem solved. This is the best sync app for Facebook I've seen.

I use HaxSync. It's also very good.
I also use HaxSync.
So I have haxsync on my phone so i can pull in Facebook Photos to my phone. I worked good till i recently got a nexus 7 v2 and installed haxsync on it. My contacts except for a handful got dumped off my phone when i installed haxsync on my tablet and synced it. For some reason i've always had issues since i got this phone and my contacts. I use hotmail and even when i create a contact on my phone, it will sometimes add the contact to my hotmail contacts and sometimes not. That goes along with editing the contact. Its highly frustrating as my windows phone and apple phones have synced flawlessly with my email contact. As my email contacts is the only place where my contacts are backed up.
