Whenever I receive a picture text on my phone the picture is usually just a little bigger than thumbnail size. Even if I take a picture and text it to myself the picture is not full screen. I can save the picture to a file and when I open the file I have a full size picture. I have spent hours on the phone with Tmobile and HTC support and was not able to find a solution. This is somewhat embarrassing considering my Iphone buddies do not have this problem. Any solutions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think if its pictures youre receiving - the universal does not resize. The size of images received will be determined by the source phone. In the MMS configuration options the image size governs the size of an image you will send not receive.
hope this helps.

no its definitely resizing it cause i sent a 46k picture from my phone to myself and it went out as 46k and came back and downloaded as 5k and the pic was tiny as hell

aaahhh ok then check your mms configuration. If you sent an image to yourself then your settings are probably set to qqvga or qvga ie the smallest picture size.
There is also a setting in pictures and videos to either keep your pic the same size or reduce it.

nope my settings in mms are set for original size i also tried with vga size not the smaller ones and it still downloads as a small file and tiny pic
nope my settings in MMS are set for original size i also tried with vga size not the smaller ones and it still downloads as a small file and tiny pic
I'm going to bring this back up, even though I'm using a Wizard, I'm having the same issue.. Anyone ever figure this out?
well... seems it's not only me who has the same problem. whatever picture is sent it comes in of 5KB-6KB (max) and resized to 128x119. photo settings are related only to outgoing pictures and not incoming
I have the same problem too on my T-Mobile Wing (HTC Herald P4350)
My girlfriend has an MDA (HTC Wizard) and I used to have one as well ... and we would successfully send each other pictures all the time.
I just upgraded my phone to the Herald and when she sends me MMS pictures, they are reduced to 5-8kb... which is absurd and pointless.
I took a pictures and sent it to myself, with the same results.
Anyone have any ideas?
Which image size do you use for the pictures of a contact ?
I tried almost every combination but the picture of a contact/people in the Touch Flo 3d still remains of poor quality .

I was about to start a thread about this too. The biggest pain is that there is no sample picture you can use to make your own pictures the same size. Does anyone know the answer?
256x256px 72dpi

After some research I found it. The resolution is 256x256. I use a PNG, but jpg works as well. I found out by looking at one of the avatars you can use when you have no picture of your own. Now the contacts picture looks perfect

How do you do it?
Take a pic of the person, crop the wanted part and downsize it?
Yes,
that's what I will do.
I will replace all of my contact photo's in Outlook that way.

Perfect??
I'm using a 256x256 JPG or PNG as well at 300 dpi...and it is still poor...
?
Ok I tried it . The result is better but still far from perfect.
Does someone has another idea ?
I´ve heard, but not tested, that you could use S2V (Slide to view) to add contacts´ picture without downsizing to low resolution.
If anyone tries it and works, tell us here.
Could someone post how contact picutes look like on the HD so we can see whats you mean when you say its bad quality...
Thanks!
Thanks
Thanks HelderJr I tried 2SV and that worked perfectly.
There is a setting when taking pictures with your phones camera to take contact pictures.. also for some strange reason when you use the pictures and videos program to add a photo in your library as a contact image the quality looks like crap. What looks best to me on the touch pro is open the Album program and add an image to a contact from inside the program. The contact picture quality looks much better.
Now this could turn out different on the Touch HD, but it works like this on my Touch Pro.
The thing that I dont like with TouchFlo 3D Photo Contact ... There is no standard "matrix" view of the photo contacts, for example 5 x n number of photos.
With TouchFlo 3D, we need to scroll to the correct photo and take action.
It is nice to see that 3D animation, but it is better to have an option for the user interface like the old HTC HOME.
Correction
2SV does the job. But !!!!!!!!!
Touch Flo 3d became extremely slow especially when reaching the tab "PEOPLE" and even crash down . Has to perform a soft reset and then 2SV doen't seem to work anymore.
So back to first question .
recorrection
UTVOL has it right.
Using the album(program) to assign a picture to a contact does almost the job.
Picture quality in tab "People" is largely improved but still not perfect.

... i think you must save in 72 dpi to avoid resizing by the HD ... in 300 dpi, there is a resize to web definition.... i 'm currently trying becaus ei have same problem, ...i will post the answer later ...hope it works.

Add photos from Album
Hi, try to add photos to your contacts from Album application
the difference is tremendous ... see samples:
1. foto used in both tries
2. set in outlook and synced via activesync
3. viewed with touch hd fotoviewer and saved to contact
so are you saying we should use 446 x 446 res?

No!
256x256 pix. but you need to set it from the phone. Copy the picture to device, open it and set to contact. Outlook will blurr it.
Hey all.
I am using the HTC Diamond.
WHen i store a picture to any contact and view it on the Peoples Tab in the TF3 the quality is horrible.
I tried to edit the picture as 256X256 which is equal to the default pics ,.... but still st does not impeove..
but when i choose the default pic in the tab. the pic quality is awsome.
why ?
Better way is to add picture to your contacts directly from album - not in contacts - that works for me better
Yea thats what i do. stll the quality is not good enough....
hmmm...and are those pictures captured by Diamond?? What for a resolution??
and could you give a screenshot??
well just bought the phone so not able to give you the screen shot but
tried by pics captured from my diamond as well as digi cam.
the resolution is
256 X 256
depth is 32 bit
72 dpi..
Does anyone here knows how to have a super image quality in the peoples tab.
Not sure if resizing the pictures to such a small format is a good way
Ok when you´re in album - picture with 3,2mpx resolution add to contacts - then the quality in people tab is bad??
Yea its stll bad dear
So for now I don´t know what it causes ´cause for me worked adding pictures from album and not in contacts..
But some time ago I saw here a thread about this issue so I´ll take a look
I had a similar problem I got around it like this..

Resize to 240x320
you don't have to resize. The issue is with the fact that win mobile on its own isn't designed to show high res images that the diamond outputs (since most touch phones don't have a super high res screen). All you have to do is go to favorite tab and using that interface to add a picture for that specific person. The TF3D software will bump the resolution for you so that the image appears right.
People > Menu > Change picture
I think it's a problem from outlook. When you add a picture in outlook from your computer, you see the visit card and the picture you add is low resolution. But adding picture by the HTC album keep the right resolution. But you can sometime have an error when synchronizing with outlook after that.
HEy guys.
thanks everyone for your coments and suggestions..
after trying nearly for 2 days all differenent propositions...
i have almost solved the problem..
the solution..
1.Change the image from JPG to PNG
2. Change the image resolution to 256X256.
3. Increase the DPI to as much as possible... pref 300 DPI
4. Click on the menu on the peoples tab and change the picture.
by this i am getting very good resolution and clarity to my pics.
Please add more coments or suggestions to this.
Thanks.

I've been searching for an answer to this question for a while with no luck so far.
Outlook 2003 has a placeholder for a photo on each contact's details page. This picture can be used in the People tab on the Touch HD.
What is the ideal specification for such a picture (resolution and actual size)?
It may be obvious to others but it isn't to me!
TIA
I don't know what the optimum size is, but if you add the contact photo from within the contacts app it will be small and at low resolution.
The best option for me is to resize the desired image to the same size as the screen and then add it to a contact from A_C's S2V program. This then allows a full screen photo for caller ID with another of A_Cs programs S2U2. This works fine on my Kaiser and I see no reason it wont work on my Blackstone when it finally arrives.
Hope this helps.
i just got my touch hd yesterday and i instantly had to figure out the same problem.
i recommend to sync all your contact with your pc and then add the pictures later at the "people tab" on your device.
anyways,
the contact pictures in the "people tab" are 268x268 pixels.
that works pretty good, just try it.
Most people seem to agree 256x256 is the best resolution to use, however if you import the picture from Outlook it'll be horrible quality no matter what the original resolution was.
You need to select the picture from TouchFlo on the contacts tab to get the best quality (which still isn't fantastic).
some clues here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3388796&postcount=100
Is it still 256x256 in PNG format for HTC Sense ?
Try 400x400 pixel size. I use a 400x400 JPG and work fine for me.

Should have read up higher. I can confirm that is still the exact resolution for HTC Sense.
Hi All,
I dont have an HD2 (Wish I did but monies tight) but I have a question that I and trying to find an answer to. It requires a test if no one has done it yet.
Can someone please go into the camera Set it to its highest setting with superfine selected for quality and take a picture and then see what the size of the file is. Then Go to the HTC msg app, and create a new msg tap the paperclip to attach a picture and then take the same picture, and tell me what the size of the file is? (If this has already been done I am sorry).
It seems that with the Touch Pro 2, and my guess the HD2 as well have two different settings for the camera to take pictures. The reason I asked for this info is because I am trying to see if there is a way to stop the re-sizing of the pictures to such a drastic small size. If this has been covered please direct me to the link cause I havent seen a thread about it yet anywhere.
If not, would someone try that and get back to me?
I got 718.9 kb for a non mms picture, when I went to add one to mms it was 41.8 kb..hopefully that helps
It helps confirm my suspicison that there is two camera settings, but I dont know if the p1-p10 setting under HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera is where the msg camera setting is located.
Thanks for doing that, now that its confirmed that HD2 and TP2 both have two different camera settings, now to find out where, because under ATT you have a 600K limit to send MMS, so why doesnt it re-size it to a decent size instead of so small.
