Does anyone know of a work around or fix for syncing HC photos with outlook/Activsync, not google, not facebook to the HD2...
I'm currently using the workaround, of storing an HC 270x270 photo on SD card... This method is tooo time constraining... Rather do it in outlook and sync.
Is there an outlook 2003/2007 patch or HTC Sense fix for transferring HC photo over to computer etc etc
I would hate to have to redo over 300+ photos for contacts when I update the rom.

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
So Im syncing from my HD2 to my mac via Sync Mate.
I added all of the contact pictures on my HD2 with help of the Sense´s facebook integration.
On my mac these contacts now have either old pictures which I added manually on the HD2 before or no picture at all.
This makes me wonder:
Doesnt Sense write everything in the outlook contacts, and if not can I make it do that?
I think it really sucks that it doesnt use normal contacts and just does it its own way.
On a slightly related note:
When I look at facebook pictures of my friends in the contact tab in sense: Where exactly does sense dump these images? Im asking because if I look at them again theyre still there and dont have to be redownloaded.
Hope you can help me.
Hello, is there any way to back up contact pictures, or are they saved in a special place on the phone?
Now that 2.1 is getting closer, i would like to back them up aswell.
Thanks.
Hey,
if you sync your contacts with your Google account, then the pics are saved there and restored when you log in again with your account on your new ROM.
Have fun.
Could it be, that syncing the contacts from the hero to google isn't working on 1.5?
Syncing contacts and images on stock 1.5 works perfectly.
Be aware that if you sync with your Google account then the pics are converted and saved in a lower res. So when you restore them they look very ugly in comparison to before.
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!!
I like to try new ROMs and my ringtones are all on SD card. 2 problems.
1. Although Contacts get synced with Google just fine, ringtone for contact does not get synced. Is there any fix or program for that ?
2. Seems to be that after syncing Contacts with Google all contact's pictures look blurred. Like they lost resolution. Any idea for fixing that ?
Only when you sync with outlook the picture would not be fuzzy. Don't know about the contact's ringtones.
Resync a few times for image. If you have many ppl it will not sync all at once.

They resync fine. It is just pictures are blurry. I really do not want to go Outlook route - too many problems with duplicates. At least that has been like that with WM
