First of all, sry if this is posted somwhere but doing severall search and nothing come out.
Sync Facebook to contacts, and Galaxy is doing some weird things to the contact pictures picked up from Facebook, shrinking or expanding to fit the total resolution available.
Leaving ppl with a really strange look, either to thin or to large.
Even in Samsung app Friends Now is happening the same. Or if you had a shortcut of a contact to UI.
My question, is it possible to prevent SGS to Stretch/Skew this pictures...?
Thanks in advance.
Strange to see close to 100 views and no one claiming to have same issue.
If someone as same problem pls reply.
Brgds
It fits the images to a certain box. That is how it works.
Dont know anything more helpful. Anoying yes but I havent really thought about it
Same here, images get stretched to fit the box. Annoying indeed. One fix would be creating a local contact and linking it to the facebook contact, then download a picture from the facebook site and add it to the local contact. That way the local picture will show up. I wish the phone did this automatically though.
Also, how come there's no "set as contact picture" option in the browser or in Facebook S? Cmon, it's a must feature!

hi!
I've linked most of my contacts with Facebook but for some reason some of them will not come up with pictures and the ones that do never seem to update when said person changes their profile pic, not a big problem but does anyone know of a way to fix this??
thanks!
shameless bump!!
I had the same problem. But if u just kept removing the facebook link and readding them it should work. if not leave it for a few days and it should work. But there is deffo a bug with the contact pics getting added.
Bit of a pain really.
I have had a similar problem. Try scrolling to the updates option and tell it to update. Typing this on the hd2. Wierd problem it scrolls the text box up to far when i get the keyboard out so i cant see what i am typing
I think its got to do with privacy settings for that contact....
That might explain the one contact i have that still wont work but the rest are sll working for me now.
Is it possible to enable quick contact on the droidx, it's a featured i'd really like to have but it doesn't look possible because the dialer and all the contact programs seem to have motorolla's hands in it.
to see what i'm referring:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...+quick+contact+links&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
Also something I noticed is that contacts being paired with facebook seems to break the user images for just about every program except for the moto ones.
I use google voice a lot and it be nice to see all my contacts pictures with my text messages, a lot of people complained about this issue but i don't think it's google's fault because i just loaded up the launcher pro plus and it's scrollable contact list also has the same issue with pictures.
The only fix I can find is just to sign out of facebook and twitter in the account settings. But it would be nice to get that feature of seeing their latest updates while i'm browsing contacts, and i love seeing their newest status when they call.
So is there a way to install the quick contact feature?
and is there a work around for the contact pictures or am I just going to have to make a choice.
Thanks for the help guys, this is my first android device and Im loving it!
This really bothers me. I can't select my default picture or name like I used to be able to. This is something Motorola, and Android itself REALLY need to incorporate into the system. And I agree, quick contact should be standard in every iteration of Android.
Just wondering since my contact pics are fuzzy,(taken with a 14mp cam cropped on phone sent thru email) how is everybody's else fairing
Yeah, they get down-sized. I don't know how small, but it sucks.

I personally would prefer fuzzy pictures as opposed to a longer delay when opening the contacts app. I am sure they do it to make it faster.
This is not a problem with the Vibrant.
It is something that is inherent to Android.
Agreed. This is something I've noticed across all the android phones I've played with. Even if you upload the contact pictures online they are cropped and get a fuzzy effect.

It's not even specific to Android, it's from Google Contacts. I upload most of my pics there, and they get jacked then.

Thanks for the feedback it's good to know I'm not alone
speaking of Contacts, how to
when viewing my contacts (part of the OS), I clicked on the Updates top menu and it gave suggested links for other contacts. I made the mistake of linking that persons contact page with the place they work at and now they can only be found under the company name contact. Researching as to how to undo this link has come up with nothing. WTF? You can not un-link a contact once its linked?
Open the contact and hit menu. There are all the link and default options

So I love my fascinate except for the occasional lagginess, but one thing drives me insane and it's the fact that the contact pictures are so grainey and pixilated I imported all my contact pictures from facebook and i'm wondering if there's any fix for this......my brothers droid incredibles contact pictures look just fine and he pulled them from facebook.
The easiest fix is a temporary one--download Sync My Pix from the Market.
You have to turn off "sync my contacts with gmail" to keep it from reverting back. This is a known issue that different people use various methods to get around. You can dig around existing topics in the forums if you wanna know more.
thank you, this helps alot. The contact pictures are still super small when I call them unfortunately, I'm thinking this is samsungs fault though. Helped alot on my contacts widget with launcher pro.
The easiest way hands down is going to your google contacts via pc and picking contact photos there.
OK, this is really a general android question but I'm asking it here because other solutions I've seen on the web seem to be for specific phones/versions of Android.
I've just recently bought the G2 after spending almost three years with an iPhone and I absolutely love it. But I was stunned to find out that one of the old issues that drove me crazy about Android still exists. The blurry contact images when someone calls. I've googled the net and read a lot about it and I can't seem to come up with a fix that won't be too time consuming. I've found apps that will sync hi-res photos from facebook but they stop there. I have a lot of work contacts that are pulled from LinkedIN and I don't want to ignore them. I'm also not interested in getting pictures of everyone I know and manually linking them with some third party app that will overwrite the pixelated 96x96 google profile picture. So....what are you more experienced Android users doing for this?
i had all my contacts backed up in google and i am coming from s4, even pictures taken with s4 and set as contacts come blurry, but worked fine on s4, the only think i tired which worked from me is to edit the contact by selecting the same picture if you have it on your phone and they come out fine in g2 contacts, odd
