Guys ...this is weird... i shared some pictures with a friend over Hangouts the Talk replacement, however it created G+ posts for each picture.... How did it do that? Better yet....WHY? My friend has an iPhone does that have anything to do with it? And she does have the actual Hangouts app....if anyone can chime in I would greatly appreciated.
That is why I can't stand this G+ integration.
I once updated all my contacts pictures by uploading pics, and all of them were uploaded to my G+, awkward to have an album with people's pictures.
So I deleted my G+, I hate how everything gets posted there and having to delete it, before it would auto upload to Picasa, which is annoying also, but its not as awkward, I just quickly delete the album.
As for your problem, I have no clue, I would just make sure you always go back and delete XD
We figured it out, she was replying through her desktop using Gmail and was commenting on each picture individually.... glad I figured it out.

I hope this is not a noob question, but if it is I'm sorry and this is my first Android phone. Does anyone else notice that the contact pictures on the Evo are extremely grainy and compressed. I even changed one of the pictures manually, and it was fine initially but became highly compressed again. Is there a way to fix this please. Thanks

I noticed this too. The pictures it pulls from my facebook contacts look great, but the ones from any other contact doesn't.
I have not noticed. My pictures are just like I took them or uploaded them.
I usually don't edit contact pictures like I would with my photographs that I take.

It does the same for all my pictures, even the ones pulled from Facebook. Is there any setting that needs to be changed for it to straighten out cause its really annoying.

They were grainy for me at first, but after I sycned them to facebook, they looked great.
There was an issue with Exchange servers doing something to contact pictures. I don't use Exchange mail, so I haven't seen it.
The photos should be the same.
If you add a photo manually to a contact in Google, it should synch that photo to the phone as well.
I had this problem when I first synced Facebook with my contacts. The pictures were extremely blocky and low res.
Eventually it got better. Not sure how it happened, maybe a reboot or it finished syncing. No idea, glad it got there though.
Well lets hope mine eventually fixes itself..fingers crossed

I had the same problem, I was linked to Gmail for syncing and Google compresses the pics wile syncing them back to evo. I change the pics on evo it’s good for few seconds and then back to grainy sync from Google. Google is been working on a fix, they have been aware of this problem for some time.
I turned off contact sync option, now calendar syncs ok without fuzzy pics
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.

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,
Because of the annoying keyboard issue i decided to root my device and try argen2stone 1.9. I really like it, but there are no pictures of contacts in my message history. Just 4 or 5 contacts have their picture instead of the placeholder, but i don't know why, since all my contacts should have their facebookpicture.
I hope i'm allowed to aks a question like this under" general", but i don't have enough posts to aks in the" Argen2Stone"-Topic in the development forum.

Check if you are logged in Facebook in Blur. To install A2S you have to clear cache, I believe facebook pics are stored there.
mine didnt update either. i had to use syncmypix
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nloko.android.syncmypix&feature=search_result
also, my mp3 and camera dont work. but thats beside the point
I was logged in in facebook in blur, so i tried Syncmypix and it helped, thanks
Now all the pictures are shown under Messaging!
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
