If you go to contacts, selected one and than change picture, you select a good resolution picture from your sd card and confirm, this way the pics won't be blurry. That was the solution on the x10, which had the same problem. Don't know if its the same with arc, as mine will be delivered today, but the problem of blurry contacts sounds very familiar.

I can confirm this.
Original sync -> bad picture
manual set the picture -> good image
This is a real pain in the ass... but since there is no solution since the x10 (at least none that i've heard of...), I think we'll have to deal with this.
Only way out might be a way to change the dialer and contacts app. Is someone already looking into this??

exactly what i was looking for.. thanks buddy!!
can you also post incoming call screen?

the issue isn't caused by SE or Android... it's simply because the images held on facebook are small thumbnails.. so when they're stretched to our screen it's quite pixellated.
I might try putting a higher res image on google for one of my contacts and see if that syncs well.

[Q] Editing the "Me" contact card...

Whenever I look at a text message conversation it puts "Me" as blank picture: (see first picture).
But whenever I try to edit "Me" from the "People" application, the device just hangs and won't let me edit anything. Does this happen to anyone else or does anyone know where to fix it? Thanks!

From what I remember reading a while back, you will need to make sure that your sim card has your number set in to it... From what I remember reading, you can do this using an iphone or a blackberry... The cyanogenmod rom used to do this from what I recall... But can't say 100%...
Unless someone can correct me, as I only used android for a few weeks
I'd like to piggyback off this question and ask if theres a way to make one of our contacts "Me" or just overwrite it.

On Windows Mobile there was an option to copy any contact into the "Me" contact but I can't find that option, should there be one on Android!
The "Me" thing is an HTC thing, not an ANDROID thing. In Vanilla Android there is nothing like this in the People area, you just have a contact card of yourself. I can edit my "Me" information fine. If you go on Google.com and edit your contacts with your name, it seems to change it as you login to facebook and stuff and it auto associates you with yourself, ie my Facebook is Josh ______, my twitter is GlitchZero, it auto links these things to "Me" or "Josh ______" in my Google contacts.
Ah thank you for that information. I did a hard reset & made sure "Me" was not associated with any Facebook or Google account & it works perfectly, thanks!

Question about Camera app

Hi, I was having a play with one earlier - and it appeared that when you take a picture there is no way within the app to see the picture you just took? You have to exit out and go into gallery?
Is there a way around this? Ta
There is an list of latest taken photos on right side... You can even expand it & then it shows all files in image-folder...
Take a look:

Thanks, I thought it strange there was no way to do this. Buy the model I was playing with (three uk branded) definatly didn't have it - must be different rom versions?
Thanks anyway
Remember that you can flash a normal non-messed up rom from the dev section,
like my orange uk version, is now a on the global rom minus the orange bloatware

If you swipe the thumbnails to the right, they will disappear... if you swipe from the very right edge of the screen toward the centre.. they will come back!... same with the menus on the other side (but in reverse!)
Is it possible to remove compression from our phone? Try to take a picture and the size only around 700kb when i use 8mp setting.
you can use vignette off the market - but in the tests I've done it doesn't really improve the image quality very much at all.. and actually in some shots I preferred the stock camera's results.
yeah, i like the result of the stock camera apps. But when i transfer the file to my PC and zoom it, the quality still not too good because of the compression. that is why i'm trying to remove the compression.
Wait for my MOD once we get root
I will add photo preview too
Is there any way to have multi shots option???
To press camera button and take 3-5 pictures in a row...
I miss that capability....

Yeah but pray that we get root before the SGS2 get it, I will not keep a phone without root undefinitly

[Q] Desktop Screenshot Problems

Hi, i had the Xperia Play (800a) for 2 days now, it's rooted and with busybox. Today i was trying to take a picture from the phone desktop with PicMe, but the image was very bad! Like a transparent image with a pink or red color.... I try ShootMe too, but i obtained the same result. The last effort was making it with the PC with the SDK tools (ddms) but the same result shows up.
Bad photo

Anyone with the same problem?
Can anyone help me with that? or just tell me what's the problem?
Thanks!
I can’t believe there is no way to do a screen shot with a stock phone. What the hell is wrong with Sony? It is so easy on the iPhone.
Not used it myself but I see lots of people using MPE to take screen grabs.
I'm rooted so just use a screenshot app from market.
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12701006&postcount=3 just connect phone in usb debugging to pc open the asm.jar. Worked for me
I just use screenshotit
I've used screenshot with proper results. Still, it's a bit stupid to have to root the phone in order to get a screenshot. The Galaxy S, for example, allows you to do without.
I am not a fan of having to root to screenshot.
Ok, thanks for the answers, i try Screenshot It and it works, but it's not a free app, so i really don't want to pay for taking ss of my phone. Screenshot works well too, and it is free. I'm going to try the asm.jar solution today, later i tell you if this work too.
Thanks

Please explain.
"ScreenshotIt" and "screenshot" are two different apps.
@ Logseman & @ matknny . Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12701006&postcount=3 no need to root and if the screenshots colors are wierd you can just right click on the screen > adjust color
I have my phone rooted and I can use DDMS, but thanks anyway

Sense 2.x Contact pic?

I know Google doesn't sync good-res contact pictures.. blah blah blah
My thing is...
I've been using Oxygen and CyannogenMod for almost half a year and I just switched to LeeDroid HD 3.3.3 this morning... **I don't have a Facebook account** I realised that whenever I set a contact picture from the Gallery while the phone is offline.. the pictures look GREAT when making or receiving calls.. when online, Google does its sync low-res sh*t.
I just wanna use those pictures I choose from gallery as overlay, not as google cntc's pic.
Can I stop the contacts' pictures syncing? by any any any means?
Logout of FB and then again Login..This time select the option don't sync your contacts!!

The dude doesn't have a Facebook account.
How about updating the contact pictures of your Google contacts from the web itself instead of from the phone?
Honestly don't know if it will work. I haven't tried it but it's worth a shot.

Its really anyoing, especially when you edit your photos yourself and then gallery change it anyway. Maybe its just about to change some value in apk file? Could someone please look at it? it would really help me, thanks people

first i didnt know either, i was wondering why some photos looks so weird, too much contrasted even i knew that i the light condidion was good, then i noticed, when you press edit in gallery, the gallery disable enhancement in preview, look:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
sometimes the pictures are to much colorful compared to original, it just makes the photos look bad. Now im using piktures app, but i would like to stay with with original, but i cant yet.
PS. Maybe you havent noticed the feautre similiar to Qualcomms "Assertive display", you can read about it there https://www.qualcomm.com/news/snapd...ay-power-efficient-technology-thats-easy-eyes , huawei has it too, its useful and interesting
but dude this looks like when you press edit it THEN applies somekind of effect. not until you press it. or is it.. well ill be damned.
just saying maybe it doesent DISABLE it when you press edit, maybe just than it enables some kind of effect.

nope, when you look on your pics with another gallery app (im using pictures) you can clearly see diference, i tried quickpic too, no difference, huawei used some kind of weird "enhancement" to theri gallery app, i dont understand why...
