Size of contact pictures?

Hello Forum,
Does anybody know what the ideal size for the contact pictures would be (in pixel)? Coming from the Diamond to the Diamond 2 I was very much surprised to see that the "old" D1 pictures looked quite ugly on the D2. Now I want to be ready for the HD2 when it arrives on Friday.
Anyone?
Greetings, Studebaker

Afraid I can't answer that question myself, but I can tell you that the Facebook integration with your contact list is very well done indeed (once you find it lol!!)
It automatically takes the top-center part of the current contact photo and uses that, so it makes them optimal size (since it does it itself!)
If you've got all, or most of, your contacts on Facebook, you've got nothing to worry about.

Somewhat true.
Apart from on mine I have three contacts who refuse to sync with facebook. I can't view any of their pictures via facebook mobile and I cannot see their small display pic.
More of a problem with crappy facebook mobile I think though.

Have you tried individually associating each contact with their facebook profile, via the Sense UI?

How?
If you mean go to the contact - link with facebook - then selecting them from the facebook list, then yes I have tried this. It has a downward arrow next to their silhouette for a few secs then just gives up.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Thought it was worth asking. It took me quite a while to find that, and I've been playing with Sense on my HD for quite a while now. Maybe I'm just a slow learner

facebook does not update photo for myself

Hi guys,
Sorry if this question was asked before, I did try using search but nothing came up.
Anywayz, I have my facebook account linked to my HD2. Everytime when i update fb information, all my friends photos are updated except for myself. Which means my photo is still the default htc one. Anyone help on how to change my own photo is greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Are you looking at a contact you have named as yourself or the contact card ME that appears at the top of all people?
If you are looking at ME. Open the contact and click on the photo in the top right. You will see a list of options that tells Manila where to get the picture from.

omg spot on!
thank you very much, cant believe i never saw that

Does this work on all contacts, or just the ME one as I am having issues with some of my contacts getting any photo from facebook, let alone changing to the latest?

Yes it does!

In that case.... I have a problem.... repeated tapping of the contact image on any other person (well tried 5 so far, some with images some with none) and nadda

Mine does not update photo's or status' unless I click Update manually, even though it's set to auto update every two hours, I think the FB app is crap TBH

Facebook contact as display pictures ??

Hi,
I finally got some of my friends phone contact to sync with facebook. I can see a little small picture of them in contact, but I don't seem to get the picture to display when I make a phone call. Am I missing something or can you make their facebook picture as dialing display picture by clicking on something ?
Thanks.

Mine does it, I log into facebook through my contacts and it puts all my facebook contact friends pic as the contact pic in my phone.
1) Hit people tab
2) all people
3) 3rd icon should be facebook (updates and events)
4) know tap on Me/ My Updates
Thats how I do it and it works flawlessly. GL.

It should do that automatically. Have you tried with more than one person? I'm having a similar problem, but only with one contact. Works fine for the most part.
When you go to edit contact info, press their picture in the top right and you should have the option to set as facebook picture.

maybe its a manila 2.5 issue. I will try the same thing with a 2.1 manila rom and see if it will sync properly with the display picture when dialing.

Mine is also doing the same thing. It displays the picture under favorite people and in the contact list, but when making or receiving a call it does not display the picture. Im running ark666's rom

I have the same problem with Leo rom running sense 2.5/maxmanilla

I thought I was doing something wrong. I am running art666 Rhodium AF as well.

I will report this on his thread and attach this link to the post as well. Thanks everyone.

it works fine for me, but i have a problem, that whenever a contact changes his picture the picture isn't changed on my phone....i can't find anything to update the pictures.....i tried also to remove the pic and then to add the facebook link again, but i always get the old picture...
i forgot to write that i use the original HTC WM6.5 rom

for the most part the pairing to facebook pics work fine for me, however i've found that some of my facebook friends aren't available when i search for them to link to their contact info. there are about 30 friends on my facebook that for some reason aren't available to link. i'm using the tilt 2, stock ROM. any ideas?

I also have this problem
I found out that the dialer instead of using the picture from facebook, it uses the picture that is on the winmo default contacts...
Does anyone knows a fix to display only the facebook picture instead the one that's on the winmo contacts??

well i had this trouble but i updated my rom and backed-up my contact using pimpackup. it backups the contact and sets the current (facebook) picture as outlook picture. then you reinstall the backup file which will delele all your pim and install your contact with their default pictures as outlook thus end any dialer problems you're having. you should call and see their the picture you had

Hmm, I always use PIMBackup to backup and restore the contacts, and always have the default pictures from the outlook. But what I want is that facebook pictures become the default ones...

Which program are you guys using to sync your contacts with FB?

It is built in to HTC sense. If you go to all people and then slide over to updates and events then log into your FB account

Ohh, I have the TP2. . . can I download a program that will do this?

it is built into the TP2, if you are using the touch flo ui. Slide over to the people tab and select all people and then slide over to udates and events and log in

You could try this, remember to read the whole thing first

I don't have an issue with the pictures, but stuff like birth dates. For some reason, when I sync contacts with FB, I get their birthdates and with a FB logo next to it. All well and good, except the birthdates won't pop up on my calendar, making it practically useless.
Now, if I type in their birth date manually it automatically updates the calendar.
Anyone know how to fix this?

maybe you 'll mengapatkan way out after looking at http://www.extremejohn.com/3-applications-to-sync-twitter-with-facebook/

I don't want to sync my facebook and my twitter, I just said that I cant sync the profile pictures of my friends in the phonebook of htc sense and the twitter application don't work too :s

Need a little help here please

hi every one, i have some problems with my HDmini
1.)
recently my twitter app (Peep) stopped working, cant log in any more. i have the newest VODAFONE rom installed (1.41.161.1 WWE) so i suppose i dont need the security peep hotfix and anyway if i try to instal the hotfix a window pops up that says ''this is not compatible with your phone) and when i try to log in the window that pops up says this ''you entered an incorrect username or password'' wich i did not.
2.)
when i tried to conect some of my conctact with their facebook profiles (to get theirs pictures when the call me or send a message) the pictures will not load! not even when i try to see theirs uploaded albums on facebook. none of those pictures simply will not load..no matter what i do.i dont have my conctacts synchronised with outlook, i have all the numbers in the phone memory only.
does any one knows any solutions to those problems please?
i even made a hard reset but nothing has changed.

The problem with twitter app is happening on all htc phones i think, htc need to update the app, and the same thing is happening with facebook on my mini.
i think we need to contact htc support to ask about a fix, i'll let you know if I get a response from them

thanks mate that'd be great!

Hi got no reply from htc about twitter but my facebook pics have reappeared on contacts somehow, nothing i did they just came back after a couple days

lucky u then mate mine are still stuck somewhere in the 3rd dimension! i did contact htc on facebook but no reply there either..thanks for ur msg bro
