Hello everyone. It's been quite some days (6 months or more) I have been using my g2. I used samsung galaxy S, previously.
The problem I am facing right now is that most of the contact photos in my phonebook is not HD. I have synced it from Google backup (since I backup-ed my contacts to my gmail using the Samsung galaxy S previously). So now, when I sync my contacts' photos from Facebook/whatsapp/viber etc., I see that not all are HD photos. What is the probable reason behind this and how may I have ALL hd contact photos ?
PS. I even used some 3rd party apps like Sync.Me. But it eats a lot of RAM and also it jumbles up the contact photos with the corresponding names... :crying: And, sync.me doesnt sync ALL the contact photos with HD photos. so, what should I do now?
[Attached: sample screenshot of conact photos from my LG g2]

Hi guys,
Ive got a nexus s running ICS. The problem I have is that as I keep my contacts sync with gmail, the display picture of the contacts is very poor! some of them are so bad that its difficult to tell who he/she is.
Can anyone please help me fix this problem? I have read some forums and people have commented that this is fixed in ICS but clearly it isnt as I still have the same issue.
Thank you
Saud
There is an app called haxsync on the market. It syncs your Facebook photos to the contacts, and they look great

It's caused by syncing with Google contacts. There's nothing you can do aside from syncing with Facebook (which AFAIK, suffers the same problem).

thanks for the quick reply.
Im not really a facebook user. Are there any other alternatives? I usually get my photos from picasa. Is there anyway I can get them higher quality?

Only way is to add them in manually on a contact by contact basis via gallery.

or you can back-up them by Titanium backup, and then restore. Quality will be the same.

They really do look fantastic but contact pictures that were taken with the camera still look awful
But haxsync really does make a gigantic difference

This is true. If you manually assign contact pictures AFTER your contacts have been synced, they will stay hi res. A PITA, but it works.
an alternative is Friendcaster that has an option that allows the use of high resolution images, it is also best of the original facebook app.
Is there any alternative app for non-facebook users?
I would hope so, but afaik there isn't any.
Hi ! Someone tell me why Contact pics in ICS is so smudgy and distorted ? Miui rom had great Contact pics . Maybe like this in future ? GT-I9000 using XDA
i think it's because of the sync with your google contacts.. google resizes your contact pics

Gmail only sync a lower res of your contacts picture. If you want higher res, just sync with google+ or facebook

Is there any way to change this setting? I remember that when ics was showcased, the contact pics were so big, clear and beautiful!

We have to wait for google to update their contact. If your friends are using Facebook or Google+, you can use its picture. This is not the problem with the phone, it's the problem with the server handle the sync.

Is it even possible to have a Google+ account without my contacts knowing that I have one? I want the high res pics, but I hate social networks. There are also people that I don't want to have any contact with.

Just don't add them to your circles. And if you want high res pics, manually select them for your contacts.

+10 on this
this is a major major problem for me too i hate having the low resolution pics .. makes my phone looks like it was from 5 yrs ago .. i have used several 3rd party apps and they always cause some delay or lag before the phone rings or shows the pic ..
and even if i add Google+ most of my contacts with gmail havent signed on to get a plus ac ...
wish some dev would help us and find a fix for this (plsss) .. or google does so instead .. wasnt it better resolution in GB or Froyo ?
Er... the only trouble I see with this is that almost no one I know uses Google+.

Why is that whenever I post an Instagram pic on Facebook, I just get a small thumbnail plus a link to my Instagram photo? This is repeatable on my brother's S3. On iOS, when I post the same on Facebook, it will show a bigger photo.
Is this an Android thing? Or Instagram has given iOS user's more priority?
Doesn't happen to me, I get the full pic.

Try uninstalling and re-installing again.... (Farcebook, and Instagram)
I believe this is due to the sharing settings you have set in instagram, Check them all and it may give you your answer
Let me know if you want anymore info and remember it costs nothing to click Thanks !
>using instagram
>any year
Same problem here ..

The way to work around it is this.
Take a photo using the camera not using instagrams camera then click on the photo in gallery and press the share icon and select instagrams. Then resize the photo and rotate.
Select your filter if you want! Then click the top right icon (arrow) and select Facebook.
And there you go!
The way that your getting thumbnails is sending an already edited photo within instagram by pressing the 3 dots and selecting share?
Hope this helps!

Hi All
I would like to know how to sync my contacts with Facebook. I need the profile pictures as contacts' picture.
Thanks for the help in advance

best sync app i know of

HaxSync is hands down the best contact sync for facebook. It will let you pick how accurate names have to be (similar spelling or exact, and everything in between), cropping the face, if the picture they have is too big and all in HD (no low res pics). Also lets you sync facebook calendar and contacts birthdays into their contact card and their timeline statuses.

Thank you all. Why Facebook does this sync? Isn't there a setting for that?

There's a LOOOOOOONG running issue between FB and Google over all of this...Google it for more info as it's too long to get into here!
Just a quick question..
Does these apps incorporate all those Facebook contacts into our phone's contacts which aren't there at present?
As in I have a number of Facebook contacts which aren't on my phone and i don't even want them to sync.... Just want the pictures of people in my phone through Facebook.

In HaxSync, there is a setting to only sync existing contacts, yes.

Ditto this. Plus, it is easy and quick to manually add/change a profile picture from FB to Google contacts. And this actually works better since on occasion some people insist on having a goofy @SS profile pic.

Hi, all
I am using Ubersync for facebook in my N4. It has imported all of my contacts but no phone numbers. How can i sync my facebook contacts with phone numbers to my Contact list. Normal sync thru the phone is also unsuccesful
