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.

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
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!!
Under the contacts menu of the streak everything is fine, but if I use another app or widget that access' my contacts, such as facebook sync or picture dial, I have multiple entries for each person, none of which are what is shown in my actual contacts list. For example someone has their phone number, email and picture (synced from facebook) in my actual contacts list, but in the program theres 3 versions, one with email and picture, one with just email and one with phone and email. It means when i try and use picture dial I cant select one that all the info it needs.
I also noticed that in the actual contacts list it doesnt seem to matter what sync options i set or what sub group im currently supposed to be looking at, it always shows the same contacts. For instance it won't show my gmail contacts even if i tell it to. It doesn't bother me, but I don't know if the two issues are related.
Any ideas anyone? Is there anyway to bulk get rid of all contacts? Then i could just get my computer to sync all the contacts back on again, though I'd have to go through and link them to facebook again so I'd rather not if i can avoid it.
Any help appreciated!
In my Contacts app, I have Facebook and other accounts syncing all contacts. The contact pictures show up fine.
However in the built-in SMS app, the contact pictures don't show up.
I have tried un-syncing all contacts, then re-syncing. No difference.
Any ideas?
Thx!
I have this same problem.
Anyone have any ideas here?
This is annoying me a little, wondering if anyone can help.
My Facebook contacts are linked to my google contacts, and when first done the pictures automatically updated my google contact images.
However, now when somebody updates their facebook photo, the new photo is synced to the phone (can see it if you go and try to edit a contact, in the facebook tab) but it doesn't overwrite the google contact photo (The old facebook photo), which is still shown in phonebook/messaging as default.
Any way to stop this happening, and always show the latest facebook photo?
