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
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.
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.
Hi, i having a problem to sync my contacts,text messages,etc from my old OS (windows mobile 6.5) to WP7. I have backup my contacts and text messages to Myphone app, but WP7 seems don't have the app. So how can I syn my thing since WP7 don't have the desired app? Did anyone have ideas to help me solve this problem?
Check is WM7 is what you need...
That's a big WM7 issue. As far as I know (I just flash it yesterday and went back to droid) the only way to sync all is to use the "cloud", Gmail or Exchange. No way for the moment to synch anything with your computer!
The job to port WM7 is awsome, it works very nicely but the OS itself is crappy.
My HD2 became a toy for music, hotmail etc...
But as a computer peripheral it's useless (I need something which doesn't send all my contacts and appointments to a third party company as MS or google).
Check what you need in order to decide if WM7 is for you or not.
***please don't misunderstand my post, the port of WM7 is a great job! it's only the usage I need from my phone which is not compatible with this OS but all was working as it has to, fully activated by MS, access to market... really great job***
but maybe soon...
Regarding the amount of complains from "pro" users on the MS Forum, they may update Zune to sync more than just music, pictures...
So wait for updates from MS or third party (SpriteBackup, ...) apps to give the ability to backup/restore (at least) or sync directly with a computer.
Don't forget WM7 is still a new OS.
i am using gmail to sync my contacts =)

I tried Gmail and it's work, but I think the contact pictures are with poorer quality.
me to) no problem at all) everything is seems to be working ok...all apps loaded after jailbreak and it has not lock for 3 days...htc hub is veeeeery nice...the only minor issue is it seems to not recorgnize contry code for phone numbers.. if a contact call and my address book do not have this contact with the +47 t does not know that number...but as sayed .....its just a beta...i have never had a so stable beta before))
This should go to Q&A

You can also sync through LIVE. Try this for better pictures Although Gmail is a more universal solution of you plan to go back to Android or have a second phone with this OS as I do

Exactly my problem too. I can save contacts with the usual number xxx xx xxx, and it works all good until i get a text from the very same number, but with country code added.. +47xxx xx xxx is not recognized as xxx xx xxx.. and the other way around again.. hoping for a fix soon
does someone know how to sync microsoft myphone with wp7.....cause i have all my contacts and sms backuped there....:S and i cant find a way to sync them with wp7 or Live services....any ideas?
You can't. Myphone is only for Windows Mobile, not Windows Phone. The best you can do is to log in on your pc and transfer your contacts to hotmail or gmail, then sync. Don't know what you can do about your texts at the moment.
Caller ID

You can fix this in the registry by setting the following:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:7
Worked for me
thnx to xboxmod
A work around?
I posted this elsewhere and didnt get any real work arounds.....
(I returned my OE WP7 and returned to HD2 on WM6.5).
However, just a thought.....
MyPhone is only for WM6.5 but using ActiveSync you can sync mail, contacts, calendar & tasks with Outlook. I read on the Microsoft forum that you can download Hotmail Contacts to Outlook, and export from Outlook to Hotmail.
If I were to return to WP7, which no doubt I will do:
Contacts:
I would Sync WM6.5 with Outlook, then upload them to the Hotmail account I would be using on WP7. I remember (and may stand corrected) that when you register the Hotmail account on the device, the Contacts are automatically downloaded.
WM6.5 using Windows Live allows you to download Hotmail contacts to my phone, so I guess they would also sync.
Doesnt cure my original issue that I wanted my Phone and Hotmail contacts seperate. I may have to create an additional Hotmail account for that?
Calendar:
On my version of Outlook, I can have two calendars showing - one for the PC which is synced to my phone and one which is my Hotmail. I havent found a way to automatically sync them, but its easy tp drag an appointment from say my PC calendar to Hotmail and therefor on to WP7.
Regarding texts, theres no way like MyPhopne, just copy what you can to your sim card I am afraid.
Does that sound like it might work?
I was able to sync my contacts from my WM6.5 to wp7. Used to have all my HD2 contacts saved in Outlook contacts. I exported all those contacts as an excel (or you can do it as an csv-comma separated values) file to my documents. Then I created a Windows Live ID on my desktop. It is basically a hotmail account. Imported contacts to my Windows Live ID account from my documents. So all your contacts are saved online in your Windows Live account. Then I signed into Windows Live on my WP7 HD2 and imported all my contacts from my online account.
I also want to know. Currently I have Outlook stored my WM6.5 contacts, calendar, tasks, and PIMBackup stored my texts and call logs. Any 3rd party WP7standalone app available to do the similar. I think all the above addressed less than 1/3 of the requirements here.
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
