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

Guys
Does anybody else have a problem when composing a sms that when typing a recipient some contacts are duplicated (two of each) in the scroll list that appears and also contacts that I have deleted keep appearing (although they are no longer in the people app or synced with google.
In the people app I have unchecked Google and Sim contacts so I am not sure why this is happening?
any clues?
Yes. It is. In the appointment too I got 5,6 repeated duplicates. May be... I think it is because Tattoo sync with Google Calendar besides Outlook calendar, and even Google calendar & Outlook Calendar (2007) they maintained a no. of different calendars like My Calendar and outlook ... and... So, these things created duplicate entries at some points of conflict or something.
This is really annoying.
I wonder if this happens on the hero as well - it runs the same htc sense and htc messaging app - it could be worth posting this in the hero forum as well
ok the plot thickens on this one - I just used HTC sync with outlook for the 2nd time since getting the phone to see if that would get rid of the duplicate contacts in the messaging app.
Guess what - after the sync ive now got three of evry contact showing on the drop down list. Ive got a feeling that syncing with outlook is causing this.
The only way I can think of getting around this is to master reset the phone then only sync with gmail. Ireally dont want to have to do this - anyone got any better suggestions?
I saved all my contacts on the phone and deleted everything on the sim to get rid of the duplicates.

But actually it is not the question of duplicate from sim and phone.. I never save anything on sim... actually it happened while sync with MS Outlook 2007. But never complain before because I always sync with two PCs, one at home and another at my workplace.. and now it also sync with Google.. may be conflict from that...just guessing...
Anybody have some good explanation is welcome.
Just to let you know, this also happens on my HD2, the contacts from SIM and phone are displayed in messaging. This seems to be happening right across the board with sense. There must be a registry tweak or something to correct this? Anyone?
I know how to fix this

You copy all your sim, phone, twitter, facebook contacts to Google first...
Then delete contacts from all other accounts except Google.
Now if your syncd with google, you can open the contacts within gmail ( would be good if you do on PC ) and use the 'find duplicates & merge' button.
i had around 700 contacts which duplicated many a times to some 3000....
this saved me alot of effort...
refer to ScreenShots... Hit Thanks
after everything is merged in google, do you just leave everything not saved on the phone and sim, or can you import them back to the phone and eliminate the duplicates?
I'm looking to move sms text messages and contacts to the N1.
I've done the csv import for the contacts but then you lose pictures and such. I just wish it had a simple sync tool for Outlook like some of the HTC phones.
Use ActiveSync to sync your contacts and calendar with Google, the Nexus will then pick them up. This saves all the info the contacts have, including the pictures.
Think you're stuck for the messages though I'm afraid.
Is there a setting for that in Sync Center?

Was just readding that.
That worked. Thanks. The pictures are a little stretched/tiny.
Any way to do that from the PC or can you only do it from a WM phone?

I did exactly this. Worked great!
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!!
Am i missing something ? for some reason i cant get my facebook contacts (account) photos to synch up with my google /phone contacts and merge them together. previously on my HTC Evo this was done automatically and i had the option to sync all contacts, sync with existing contacts and this would allow peoples pictures to synch up properly. Is there something with the N4 thats different thats not allowing me to do that. thanks for the advice

This phone doesn't have native Facebook integration as do HTC phones, it's vanilla android after all. So its an issue with the Facebook app and eventually Facebook will fix it but don't hold your breath waiting for them they are slow. Most of my contact pictures synced up but I had some that refused to so I downloaded the app Contact Sync for Facebook and problem solved. This is the best sync app for Facebook I've seen.

I use HaxSync. It's also very good.
I also use HaxSync.
Hey folks,
I've synced my facebook contacts with existing contacts and the images are blurry as hell, like they are a tiny resolution. This used to happen on ICS but was meant to be fixed with Jellybean, seems to have reared it's ugly head again for me.
Anyone else getting the same? and if so have you resolved it?
Thanks,
Ben.

Would recommend Haxsync, it will sync the hi-res images as well as your contacts statuses which appear under each conact on your phone. It also syncs the fb calendar and allows you to set reminders for birthdays and events.
I disable the contacts and calendar sync for fb and just use haxsync to do it all.

You don't get people's phones though. That's why I use Facebook sync in the first place.

Fair enought, anyone I want to call I have their number outside of fb. Just use Haxsync as well as the fb contacts sync, it will automatically merge the contacts anyway giving you the number and the high quality photos etc...

I suppose I could do that. I hope it merges the contacts right this time. Last time i used it, it was throwing contacts all over the place. I had to merge them manually.
