Hi all!
In the Favorites widget ( in the standard htc sense ), the pictures of the contacts I add, are so pixelated ( low quality ) and the same in the People (contacts) application..
there's a way to correct this? or it's the normal behavior?
Edit: The pictures are automatically downloaded from facebook by the dhd itself (I guess)
Sorry for my bad english xD
Thanks in advance for the answers
You must disable contacts synchronization and set contacts pictures from contacts app (and only from there). When you will enable synchronization all contacts pictures will be broken in few minutes. Blaim Google for this!

So if I want high res, I must apply a gallery/camera image instead of the facebook one, right?
Yes! And do it in contacts app.

Don't know why, but in all builds with Sense I've tried so far the picture quality of the contacts in the HTC Contact widget is more than bad. When I refresh the pictures the look good for a few moments but for some reason they look ugly and pixely after a short time. Anybody got an idea why it iw like this?

This is because of the google contacts sync. Apparently the google server saves the contact pictures in very low resolution and when your phone syncs the photos back you get the ugly version. Just stop the sync and put high res version of your photos and it should work
Hey guys!
Does anyone know if there is a way to take contacts pictures from facebook to phonebook.Some app that i can connect the pone number with specific picture from facebook?
Till now i had htc magic with sense ui and there is easy to do this.

Thank you for your reply.
I have tryed some apps (and this one too) but my frends name's aren't the same in my contacts....Just i want to choose (not the app) wich contact with what pictures to be;-)
I'm pretty sure that SyncMyPix has the option to manually link Facebook contacts with Google contacts. Long press on an unlinked Facebook contact.

Hello!
Search produced nothing, so here I go - I want software that provides sense-like integration for non-sense builds. What I really care about are contact pics.
I tried Facebook app, but
1. It will miss most of the contacts, because my contacts are in Cyrillic, but FB are in Latin... although this in just annoyance and could be fixed with 2-3 hours free time spared.
2. Problem 2 is more significant for me - even if a contact is linked, dialer still shows gmail account pic, or no pic at all (even if the contact is linked with FB and has a FB pic showing)
3. Nice addition will be if someone proposes a cool contact app which manages contact groups( Google should add at least this to upcoming Android versions)
SyncMyPix does what I want

If you are using the htc facebook application from the market, it should ask you at the first start, if and how you want to sync your contacts.
After first start, you can configure it under settings-> sync contacts.
..but syncMyPics should also work.
I have htc facebook on my DHD but it seems I cannot find it in the market and download it for some reason. I know it happens. To be honest, SyncMyPix does the job even better, cos it writes down all images into contact pic place and nothing more, and I don't get all the unknown facebook contacts to bloath my contact book
I would like to see a download link to htc facebook sync though

So it is not my fault, then. The stock FB app cannot provide the functionality Sense does... SyncMyPix then...
I was running cyanogenmod, but I missed the ability to match contact suggestions.
The dialer too obviously, I know I can use an alternative dialer for this.
If there is a matched contacts method or app, I can dump sense for good.

Bump in the night.
You tried the facebook for android app? twitter app? They synch the contacts pictures and numbers off facebook and twitter, google account would have hopefully backed up your contacts as well so it will pull it from there as well, thats the same as matched contacts (Y) all matched contacts was,
TL;DR download facebook app from market, install, just go to account settings and add an account and make it a facebook one
?????
profit.
I have people such as my brother who have different names on facebook and twitter. This gives me two contacts where I want one.
Have you tried Gibt contacts? I remember it offers some kind of contact merging...

Gah... curse you, Auto correction. I meant Go contacts... should be included in Go dialer...

Are there any apps to get this bback. I miss my contacts not having pictures
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I'm using SyncMyPix. It can download your facebook friends pictures. Also the pictures will be uploaded to google contacts.
Awesome cheers

This is a life saver. And the fact that you can select some contacts where the names doesn't match perfectly makes this better than the official FB sync.
Thanks for posting this. However, there is one pretty big flaw, at least in my opinion. There's no option to prevent the app from overwriting contact icons that I manually set on my own. This can be annoying as many people have stupid pictures set as their profile pics on facebook.
Can i really sync all contact even the ones not on my phone or is it just for syncing a photo?

my contacts dont have pictures on them only my girlfriend and me. as for facebook I deactivated a long time ago, I couldnt stand the site. only thing that annoys me is the fact games force you to have one, eg zynga poker, Loved it until I found out its facebook only
I use http://danauclair.com/addressbooksync/ and http://spanningsync.com for my Mac.
