Hello, I have recently got OnePlus 6T, and while I really enjoy it, there are 2 issues that get me triggered. Namely:
Contacts photo quality. I have tried deleting data and cache of contacts app, resyncing Google accounts, creating new contacts, using external apps to set photos - I am still getting a blurred picture when calling. On specific contact page the quality is worse than the original, but bearable, but when calling everything is pixelated.
Screenshot quality when sending via MMS. I don't know why OnePlus decided to change ss format to jpeg, but I have tried everything - using different messaging apps like Google messenger, changing apns - the ss quality when sent via MMS is just horrible. I even tried magisk module to save screenshots as PNG, but it doesn't work for 6T since it was originally made for 5.
Any ideas on how I could resolve these issues? Any help will be highly appreciated

I have done some searching but was not able to find any answers. I have been using Android pretty much exclusively these days. I noticed that when I sync my contacts with my Facebook account it adds pictures to the contacts, just like windows mobile. The difference though is that on Windows mobile the pictures are nice and clear. On Android the pictures look very low res and very blurry. It seems like it is using the same picture on the little thumbnail on the as it is on the picture during a phone call.
Does anybody have any thoughts on how to fix this?
Thanks!
bump
same issue here
yep..
I am disapointed with contact pics 2
very low res..
Same here for disappointment with contact pics resolution, I'm not Facebook sync'ing but selected the contact photo's using the gallery app. I'm sure they were good quality when I first set them, but on reboot they are much lower quality.
I was thinking this was an issue with the way we're running Android, via the SD? Can't think why, but I don't believe this could be a generic Android issue (surely).
I got this exact same question this morning.
Use friend stream that's Included on htc sense.
I believe the pictures are actually better.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Still no answer? I believe the issue still exists. My profile pics are low res. On WM6.5 and WindowsPhone the pics are high-res and very nice.
Any thoughts?
There is an app called sync my pics it is on the market download it and sync your contact pictures on wifi..
This has probatly to do with the Exchange protocol, and how Google uises it. This is for WP7, but should also work for Android... At least; the second part;
1. Log into your Google account
2. Settings --> General (1st tab)
3. Under "Contacts' pictures" select "Only show pictures that I've chosen for my contacts"
4. Save, exit

With NAND Desire HD build i got same problems...
but now i use mdj cyanogenmod 2.4 and pro launcher but i dont see facebook pictures from my contacts in the "person" widget from pro launcher?? What to do?
Bump. This issue is intolerable. I would like to link my phone contacts to FB and Gmail, but still be able to use my high-resolution photos of them. They get overwritten every time by either FB or Google.
There has to be a fix somewhere, I'll keep looking.
???
if anyone finds a fix...please post !
registering interest in a solution
I use the Full Screen Called ID App. works wonders, if u dont want full screen images to show when people call, just disable its appearance in the option settings. you can set it to use that contacts facebook display pic as their contact picture, although for people that ring often, I set a preffered picture of choice
Hi Guys,
I sold my S4 and now I own this powerful device since one week. But there is a problem for which I did not find a solution yet. I have high res contact pics in my google account but the G2 does only sync low res pics which makes me sick. I searched for a solution but did not find any. Does someone also have this problem? On my S4 everything was fine with the pics.
Thanks!
I think the only way is to 're do the pictures

I already tried this... using a new high res pic for a contact (on gmail)... but g2 syncs the pixel variant....
I can't figure this out either. Some contacts it seems to use a higher res than others regardless of the source image. Something wierd going on there.

this has to do with gmails api supporting low res pictures only.
The res was increased somewhere in Android but not in gmail that results in this phenomenon when resyncing.
A workaround is haxsync that can replace the pictures on the phone with another source such as facebook
Android supporting high res but gmail yet to catch up?
Something strange is going on here.. this gotta be raised to Google methinks..
Not really a g2 problem, but general android issue. Google contracts used to only accept low res pics and you probably pushed those to your address book at some point. To get high res pics back, you are either manually have to go through and redo the pics, or you can use something like hacksync. It'll pull the facebook profile pics in high res and has the option to push those to your google address book,
This is a general android issue and it will happen with any non nexus phone. If you set a high res pic as a Google contact's pic,it will sync to all your devices as a low res 96x96 pic. It only syncs the high quality one across nexus devices (as far as i know , coming from a nexus 4 after using many samsung devices and now the g2). Minor or major issue depending on the person. For me i can live with it but i prefer the nexus way
I haven't yet tried it on this device, but HD Contacts was a good workaround for this on the last couple devices I had this issue on: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jgarrison.hdcontacts
I can't recall where I read this, but I think this issue is resolved across the board in 4.3 as well.
Found a weird solution.... I starred all contacts... deleted cache and data of contacts app --> all pics in HD....
really weird.... Google...FIX IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's really weird, all the contacts on my phone that I had starred were all in high quality, I never realized this until you mentioned your fix.
However, when I tried to star contacts and then delete cache/data in the contacts app, it didn't seem to change anything.
EDIT: IT WORKS!
Missed one step...
1) Star Contacts
2) Settings > Sync (this is the step that helped me ensure all contacts will sync with high-res photos).
3) Clear Cache/Data in Contacts App (I also cleared Contacts Data App)
4) Sync all your contacts back in and you got your high quality pictures
EDIT EDIT:
Make sure you clear cache/data in both Contacts App and Contacts Data. When I only cleared Contacts App, half the photos were still low-res.
When I cleared both apps and then synced, all photos were high quality.

Sorry if I was unclear, so if I go into Phone > Contacts > Settings (this is where you click "Sync Now") to make sure everything is synced before deleting all contacts data.
Is there a way to "Star" all contacts in one action?

Updated this Post to make it a little clearer, It does indeed work. Thanks. @AndroidStop you can update OP with these Instructions 1-5 & put SOLVED in the Title Thread
Try HaxSync in market

I have noticed the same problem. Is there a solution other than getting images from Facebook or starring every single contact and clearing cache (that would drive me crazy)?
On my Galaxy Nexus using the standard contacts app all contact images are first low res after a new set up but after opening a contact for the first time the high res image is loaded.
On my G2 only the starred contacts have a high res picture while all others are low res.
Can I somehow install the AOSP contacts app to let it load the pictures or is there another work around?
hi there.
two days ago i got my new s5. i like it and all but all the image storing and online storage is a little much at first. but since my previous phone was stolen and i lost a couple of hundred of fond memories (pictures) i was determined to store them online this time. i set up a dropbox account that seems to come with the phone and i used picasa or whatever google drive calls my online gallery (never used this before).
it's neat and i figured out how to hide online pictures so it serves as a backup.
NOW TO MY PROBLEM:
since everything is new to me here (had sgs2 before) i played around in the gallery that is now largely different. i seem to have set something to the wrong setting because now it doesn't show ANY PICTURES anymore. not from any folder/album. from one second to the other everything was gone (from the gallery). the pictures are all there, though. i can access them with any other app (es file explorer, google pictures, camera, etc.) but i want my gallery back. it says "no items - after you take, record or upload pictures or videos to dropbox, items will be shown in gallery"
this leads me to suspect that i might have switched my gallery to displaying the contents of my EMPTY dropbox account. i don't want this but i am unable to change it back. besides i have an app for dropbox stuffs so why is this feature even integrated?
settings shows me the following:
accounts:
[g] my gmail account
SNS DATA CONTROL:
sync via wifi only [v]
CLOUD SYNC
dropbox sync
tap to sync content
FILTER
filter by
TAGS
tag buddy
off
face tag [_]
above i can only access "Add Account" which brings me to a menu displaying all my accounts (or some): samsung, google, dropbox, facebook
PLEASE HELP ME!
i did not find any help searching because there seems to be a similar problem with people's media storage malfunctioning. i don't believe that is my problem but i tried resetting the media storage anyways. i am sure it is something that i did to hide my pictures. how do i get them back? i don't plan on using a different gallery app but maybe it is the only solution?
regards
L2

EDIT:

i actually just installed quickpic and it shows all my pictures which proves to me even further that nothing is wrong with the pictures but just that my gallery is screwed up. how do i unscrew it?
Clear data for gallery app under settings/applications.
Hey everyone,
Ran into a small problem with my Edge+. I primarily use Hangouts for all of messaging, text and otherwise, but have been having an issue with Hangouts having access to all of my photos in Google Photos.
Let me go into detail as much detail as I possibly can.
. In my Google Photos app I can view all of my pictures that have been uploaded over the years across all my Android devices.
. When I go into Google Hangouts and select to send a picture message, I get the option to select Google Photos, the stock gallery app, and a few others.
. Selecting the Google Photos option only yields the pictures I took LOCALLY(recently on the device) and not all the photos that are available in the cloud.
Anyone else experiencing this issue? I know that I've been able to select from ALL of my pictures on my Nexus devices when using Hangouts. Maybe that's the issue. Can someone test on their device and confirm that this isn't just my issue?
Hey guys,
So I've been using my Nexus 6P for about a week now and I had to do a reset because I was having some issues with mms and for some reason my new apn wouldn't take no matter what I did. So after that reset, my mms works fine but now I have another issue I just can't figure out. So here it is...
When I go to messenger to send a mms, like a photo lets say. I attempt to attached a photo from my media (Google Photos) but it doesn't see any of the photos I have in google photos, it only shows me a photo I took about 5 minutes ago when I was doing a test. I'm sure that before this reset I was able to attach any photo I had in Google Photos to a message in messenger, not I can't. What's going on? Ive checked permissions and all is good, all approved. Kinda silly that I can't go to messenger, check the box next to photos within the app, choose photos , and not see anything .
When I go to Google Photos they are all there, but when I check it through messenger, nada... Please help.

If I had to guess... Before you reset, all of the pictures in Google Photos were still on your device. Now that you have reset, you're only seeing pictures that are on your device when you try to send an mms, but you see the old pictures that were backed up before you reset when you go to the Photos app. Does that make sense?

Thats the thing. I'm not seeing any old photos that have been in Google Photos for months, I'm only seeing new photos that Ive taken after the reset
Yea it makes sense, but I had access to all the photos in Google Photos before, now I only have access to photos that you would say are in my camera roll (iPhone term, photos taken with this device). Once again this is only for attachment. If I go to Google Photos , I see everything. Just not from messenger.
If I start in Google Photos , I can send a photo via Messenger. But If I start in messenger, then go to attach a photo, it only shows photos that I've taken with the Nexus (Post Reset), no option to see all my photos from Google Photos.
Try resetting the data in messenger just back up your texts before you do

Make sure you are actually going to google photos. When you click the paperclip in messenger to add, you are in the 'recents' area.
You'll need to click the pic icon panel (should be first one listed), that will take you to the 'recents' picture picker. On that screen click the hamburger menu in the top left, then in the pane that appears, select google photos.
If the above doesnt work, open settings > apps > messenger > permissions and be sure it has access to the appropriate areas.
Yup, I'm clicking photos. And I've checked my permissions
Can someone give me the download link to download xposed installer for lollipop
I'm tapping photos in the menu too... But photos are only showing recents not all photos
Tried clearing app data too , reset permissions. Still no go
