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.

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.
Reason: (if you really want to know)
I really like the facebook and sense's people integrated feature. It helps me update birthday, phones, and my friends recent news. However, I do have most of my friend's photo on my outlook. I really don't need to save 200 extra pictures in my windows' drive. Beside, sometime my friend's profile picture are kind of random.
Help needed:
Any one know how to stop the photo update from facebook to the people contacts? A reg. tweak or something? Or just a want to select multiple contacts to use outlook picture? In sense 2.1, after the facebook linked your friends, a window pop up and you can uncheck the saved photo box, then facebook would not overide the saved picture you have. But this feature seem to be missing on 2.5.
facebook picture
you can override the facebook picture in sense 2.5 edit the contact then click the picture and choose, facebook, or outlook contact.
Thanks but I have more than 160 friends
Thanks for you suggestion, but you know I have more than 160 friends to update. And if I have to do that every time I upgrade a room. I am doom.
please someone help
Double this request! I was about to open a thread in despair...
I have 20 FB-connected contacts. Not a big deal one would say - change them manually. But if one takes into account that i flash almost every other day (yes i like to play with builds and upgrades) and everytime i have to go through this 20 pics... Ahhhh!!!
Getting mad everytime this stupid manila feature replaces neatly prepared and assigned photos of outllook by it's tiny meaningless photos (in some cases just mess-up madness!)
Please, please help us to stop facebook messing up with contacts
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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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..
Currently using VillainROM 6.1.0 (Same problem is on BeHero+, I quit using that rom duo to this problem)
And if this cant be fixed, i have to change rom again.
Facebook sync my contacts like it should, but i only get blurry images for my contacts, very low quality.
I want the standard high-quality images like before..
Anyone else having this problem?
I've tried:
- Delete and re-add my "facebook for HTC Sense" account
- Cleaned cache of "Facebook for HTC Sense" and "com.htc.socialnetworking...something"
After that it syncs again, but still with low quality
I don't think it is the ROM. The photos on my HTC People widget/People application fixe themselves after a few minutes (but I have a limited number of contacts - not the hundreds that some people have). It looks like locally, it needs to process the image to shrink it down and sharpen it for display in the environment.
So, I just bought the Epic.. Coming from HTC Pro 2... Syncing with my contacts from my Exchange 2007 server and Outlook 2007.
So, I have loaded up most of my contacts with photos using Outlook.. The issue is, they degrade the image to 72x72.. Looks horrible.. At one time or another, I used Photo Contacts Pro for Windows Mobile, and it made the image quality 300x300 which was much better,
So, now on the Epic, I want to start replacing some of the contact pictures I have.. What is the best way of going around that? If I use Oulook (which is the fastest method), it will degrade the picture to a blury/jaggy mess... If I use the contact settings on the Epic, I see I can load them from my Picassa... But what resolution/dpi will that be at?
Is there a better method?
Bonus question: Is there a way to backup all the links I make with my contacts (ie: linking each to Facebook), so when I put a new custom ROM on, I woun't lose all that work?
Thanks in advance for any help!
I would say the problem is def the limitations of outlook. I have noticed this happen to me before when syncing my contacts from outlook to any device I used iphone the biggest problem. Now using android I have google manage all my contacts because its effortless. Just type in your email and they are there. I will note though that you can set the images of your contacts from gmail contact page but they still do not seem to be quite as high quality as when I set them via the phone. But once they are set threw the phone the quality will remain high on the next device I sync them to.
