change default caller/contact photo - HD2 General

Hi,
i want to change the default caller/contact picture but cannot find what to do.
already searched....no answer found
changed cc_default.bmp...didn't work
any ideas ? please

change photo for a contact
Fairly easy to do...
Select the contact whose photo you want to change.
Select 'Edit Contact'
Select the small photo icon (right hand side of the bar that contains the text 'Edit Contact Card') in the top right of the edit contact screen.
You will get the options to use FB Profile pic, Outlook photo, Phone album photo or take a new pic with camera.
Hope this helps.

i think you actually mean change the default image it uses, correct? the grey silhouette?
ifso, look at the images "avatar-x.png" in the windows folder.

ooops...
Misunderstood the question...sorry guys

YYEESS...that does it ! Thank you )

Photo Navigation?

It says in Dopod website that the Dopod D810 has GPS format, with embedded coordinates in the picture and a built-in exclusive photo navigation software, where one knows the exact location of the photo and easily navigate to that location.
Any other information on this photo navigation software?
I tried to find this built in software, but no success.
Camera -> last item on left upper corner (camera with cross). Whether this you're thinking...?
i m also looking for the same info, i was able to get the gps photo function working and took pictures with active gps connection. problem is now i dont know what software to use the photos with.
I used Picasa (freeware) to view the GPS coordinates of the photo I took.
You'll need to import the file into picasa, go to picture -> properties and scroll down to the gps coordinates.
A bit clumsy to use however - if anyone knows a more succint way (program) of accessing the data I'd be keen to hear of it.
Use Irfan View
Better use the freeware Irfan View (www.irfanview.com). It has a button in the picture proporties dialog to jump right to Google Earth to show you the place where the GPS photo was taken.
irfanview works fantastically for this... cheers!

Thank you. I downloaded and installed Irfanview, it is a nice software, but I cant find the mentioned button in the picture properties dialog. Is it Irfanview version 4.0?
There are only 5 buttons in the picture properties window (keyboard shortcut "I"): Change resolution, Exif Info, IPTC info, Comment and OK.

Any way to change the resolution of Contact pictures?

When I receive a call or browse through the contacts in the People tab, the pictures are pixelated and rubbish resolution. I've tried replacing them with higher resolution images but to no avail.
Can anyone help me?
Copy the high res photo to your hd and then assign it to a contact. Don't use the image added within outlook. Once you activesync it will replace the image on the server with the new one.

There's also another way, which is by assigning the photo for each contact from HTC Album. As simple as that, when you do that, the resolution from the picture gets improved as the other suggested method!
btw. wat is the square size of the contact pics??
256 X 256 pixels
I took a picture with my HD and applied the same image to my contact and the image is rubbish and pixelated.

It'll never be perfect but by assigning a 256x256 image to a contact through TF3D will give you the best results.
comandersnake instructed you with the simplest way:
1. take a picture, even with 5mpx resolution
2. open album
3. find the respective picture
4. open it
5. pres the pictogram from the lower right corner
6. chose option "save to contact"
7. assign to desired contact
et voila! it works like a charm! you don't have to worry about resolution, dimensions, correction or other things
succes!

This doesn't work with the recent roms from NRG as the whole 'save to contact thing' doesn't work.
Anyone have an alternative method?
Better Picture
Hi !
I think alot of people have the same problem. I maneged to get it in hires when i choose the same picture twice, then it works.
Try that
Regards MacRoy
you can also use s2v to do the same thing..
outlookchas always been the culprit forvthe lores pics, 2007 version doesnt do it anymore, it must allow bigger image files..
in the "newer roms" there should be facility built into the contact app.
try assigning ho you want to assign a pic to as a favourite thrn press right hand soft key to assign a new pic. you can always get rid of them as favourites after

Increase dimension of photos&videos thumbnail

Hello. Today I have set as 'favourite album' ALL the folders I had in the memory card.
I didn't want one album to be my favourite, I like to have in handy every photo of my mobile. So that's why I've set to 'favourite' ALL albums together. That is more than 100 photos, I think 160 or more.
The problem is that the phone (in the scroll menu Photos&Videos, where all the menu Programs, Weather, Today, Contacts are placed) shows only 99 photos.
It is the biggest number of photo it can display. Can I set a higher number so every photo can be taken from that 'scroll show' ? Some patch, mod, registry key?
It is really weird. My Nokia N73 could of course display all photos in the gallery. Why should I browse a folder to find the requested photo, if there is a very friendly DEDICATED menu to do that? The answer is: because it gives you the possibility to view only 99 photos. If you want the photo n.100, you either go in the folder with the file explorer, or change favourite album to the one you need.
I'm sure there is some solution.
Thanks in advance.

As far as I'm aware 99 is the max you can have, similarly contacts is limited. I don't believe this can be changed, but if I'm proven wrong I'll take it back

Album photo through loading from Facebook

Okay peeps
When you open a photo album u tap the screen and get options to
Save Or Set as contact
when you open a facebook album but going through the image gallery route
these options are removed!
Tell me someone has a RegEdit to bring them back on ?
FANKQ!
Yeah, I'd be interested in a solution for this too!
Lets just hope someone gets my drift and its an easy Registry hack

Picture edit on hd2? Rotate using multitouch?

Has anyone found a decent (free) picture editor for the hd2? I really miss the simple samsung crop / rotate / colour balance prog that was in my omnia.
Also is there anyway i can just rotate pictures while viewing them in sense? I have tried the obvious rotating motions with no luck.
Thanks
Hi...you dont need to get any software for that you just need to go into Multimedia and select Pictures & Videos. Now from here navigate to the photo you wish to edit and open it (it could be in a folder). Press Menu and press Edit. Now press Rotate in the bottom left-hand corner. Once you've change the orientation you can save this change..
Enjoy your life with your HTC-HD2
