Well, folks, I searched, and the last comment on blurry pictures was in December 2010. And another is on HD2 General with no replies.
I am on AT&T with a debranded X10a, and since I debranded in December and upgraded to 2.1 Generic NAM, the caller ID pictures would show up blurry. On 1.6, that could be solved by reassigning the picture afresh (after reloading a contacts backup). This did not work on 2.1.
Until the latest upgrade. I just got the upgrade from SEUS last night (build 2.1.A.0.435). The pictures on the caller ID were blurry. Editing the contact and touching on the picture and selecting "set as contact picture" on the pop-up menu did not change anything. So I went into Mediascape and navigated to the said contact's picture on the SD card, and reassigned to contact. Voila! I dial the contact, and an HD picture shows up on the ID! Grrrreat!
Note: It doesn't matter what you used to backup your contacts. I had saved my contacts to the SD card, then reloaded the .VCf card. No need to sync with Google. But if you do, just reassign picture from the "Library"
I hope other people searching on this problem will find this a useful hit for their querry.

Yep! like he said, u need 2.1.A.0.435. The earlier build does not work. reassigning picture on oder build only makes it a little les blurry, but stil blurry. so, use SEUS or PC Companion to update to 2.1.A.0435, then reassign pictures to contacts from the Mediascape library.
That works for contact pics saved on SD but not for contact pics that are using Facebook pics, they're still blurred. Any suggestions for that?
The worst story of this is, after you backup and restore using any known method (except for xRecovery I guess), you will end up with blurry pictures again!!
please Help

Hi,
I'm the happy user of S740, but experiencing small problem.
I've a photos added to the contacts, and they are not scaled properly in the incoming and active call window.
When I go to adressbook all photos are correctly displayed. only in incoming and active call window.
I have the ROM ver. 1.14.401.1 Polish
anyone experiencing also this problem?
I'm experiencing the same, but don't know what to do about it.

Quite a while back i read somewhere that it worked best for wm6 when you resize/crop the pictures to 77x106. Though i dont know if that still works for wm6.1

I have no idea what version I am running. How do I find out? Also, how do I update it? I tried to search, but only seem to get results for Windows Mobile Professional devices.

Can you please extend your answer, I think you are right and it can be a good solution. But the question, which canvas will be good to use and how to implement it.
Contact photo
I played with it for a while. The best for all purposes seems to be 256x256 px. For picture quality is important to attach the photo in phone, not in computer.
Hi,
but it won't solve the problem. What if all photos are attached in the outlook for synchronization. Have you tried to do it in other way?
That's the problem. If the photo is attached in computer Outlook, during next synch with the phone it "converts" photos some strange way - downgrades the resolution and resizes it. If you attach photo in the phone, it's normally copied back to the computer Outlook without any problem and does dont interfere.
still doesn't solve the problem. All the contacts have their photos in outlook since 3-4 years when I got first windows mobile phone. Then there was some HP, HTC S710 and now HTC S740 and the problem appears. Older phones does not having this problem. And the solution should be on the phone/os side, not attaching all photos from contacts once more.
Because with some resync with active sync it can resync in other way and the problem appears.
For incoming call the systems is using a picture called background.png and background_L.png (landscape or portait. Both can be found in the map windows) In this picture there is a "hole" that is 90x90. The incoming call picture will show up behind these system pictures. If they are bigger than the 90x90 format only this 90x90 will be shown. Make the "hole" bigger might solve the "problem"
I tried to chnage some of the pictures to the 90 pixels. It doesn't help. It does not show correctly in the incoming/active phonecall window.
I have always had slow picture mail on Sprint, it always took several hours to days before the picture mail was received by friends, yet when they sent stuff to me it only ever took a few minutes. I tried updates, patches, changes, etc.. with no results.
A day or so ago I updated to the newer HTC rom (2.01.651.6), and then installed the Gen.Y Manilla R1.5 VGA Cab along with several other tweaks, etc.. that all went well and then I was testing stuff to make sure everything worked.. This is the odd part, when I first sent a test picture, it went through very quickly (and mind you, this is sprint to at&t, not sprint to sprint).. I figured it was a fluke and then took a quick pic, and sent it.. this time 5 minutes passed and nothing, so I sent the same picture again with different wording and it somehow arrived quickly again.. within 30 seconds of sending it..
Now, backtracking, the first time I sent the picture. I went into the picture mail tab, and did new mail.. entered the name, attached some media, etc and sent it... this resulted in a really quick send..
The second one, I was in the album part, selected an image, and selected the mail / picture mail option.. selected the name and wrote a quick note and sent it.. this resulted in a slow mail...
Figuring it was a fluke, or something else, I went into the picture mail tab and did new message, entered the name, attached the exact same image (but manually), wrote something different, and sent it... it was received in less than 30 seconds, and the previous one arrived over 20 minutes after..
Further tests I have done replicate this each time, I have no idea how this is even possible, or what difference it would make sending it through the albums mail link or the picture mail tab instead.. I have tested this with various carriers, various pictures, etc and have the same results each time.
If anyone else is on Sprint with a touch pro and sees it's slow, out of curiosity.. how are you sending the picture mail? If you've been sending it via the album, perhaps try using the picture mail tab, new message, etc instead.. and see if it's quicker.
I apologize if this has already been posted, or is known, has been tried by everyone, or such.. I only found out about this today and figured I'd post it in the event it may actually help some others out there having the same problem as me. For all I know this is a glitch with how my own phone is setup, soo... *shrug*
I found that if you pull up the menu while viewing a photo and select options, you can change the resolution for sending pics to medium(320x240). It states it's only when sending emails, but it changes when using mms as well. As soon as I changed the setting my messages only take a minute or two to be received. Where as before I had the same problem you described. Hope this helps!
I've tried that as well, but it always bugged me how friends of mine could send larger pictures without an issue while mine would barely manage to send a small picture. Currently, I am able to send 1M (1280x960 with fine quality selected) sizes taken from the camera as long as I attach the media myself via the mail tab.
I'm still tempted to try the next size up just to see if that's quick as well but at this point I don't want to jinx it while it seems to be working great even for 1280x960 images.
on the new rom you need to run the pic mail remover first cause it has the pic mail in it. Then you can install Arcsoft after that with no problems.
i gave up on pic mail
same thing was happening to me. so i just gave up on it. i mean i still recieve pictures but in stead of using my pic to send i use my emails.
and use it to send pics straight to that persons phone
i use their carrier email like for ex for sprint its
(number) @pm.sprint.com
and its worked perfectly for me they get it just like a pic mail so much faster. just click send and move on to another program
makes me happy :0)
hello folks,
any of you in the USA using the x10i on Tmobile receiving blurry picture in your text messaging after the 2.1 update?
my 1.6 was working soo perfectly, until i update the 2.1. the picture messaging i receive from my friends and buddies is soo blurry. anybody have a fix for this?
thanks
does no body have this problem except me?
i also have tried to flash the 2.1 custom firmware and the picture in the text messaging work fine. like i can receive clear and large picture without any blurry or pixelation. but when i flash back to the original sony ericsson 2.1 firmware picture text messaging look blurry and pixelated again.
clearly this is a firmware issue.
does anyone know what i'm talking about here?
Hi all,
when i send a sms my photo do not appear, i have a grey square...
My profile is set correctly whith my photo.
Bugs ???
Check if you don't have your number also on SIM card.
Checked, my number is not on sim card or on phone contact, only on my profile.
contact/menu/+/myprofile
any idéa ?
Great, so on list of SMS click on your "gray square"
Standart SMS/MMS application:
It request you about adding contact <your_phone_numer> say yes, fill some stuff what you want and click again on "gray square" on top, chose picture what you want.
Handcent SMS
It forwards you to Account configuration, where is first menu "Account picture" so just select picture, that you want to use.
In native app sms/mms, that not work if i press on gray square nothing takes place
just an orange border is displayed around gray square.
I have installed handcent and all work fine...
I think that it is a bug of native app...firmware is v10b
Strange.... If I tap on contact which I know, it shows me ikons for call, contactlist, sms and sometime for email if I have configured it. If I click on "unknow" person, it ask me, if I want to add add "xxxxx" to contactlist. I have Neojn's void. based on V10a
Yes that work for me too with unknow contact, i have no problem for add a picture to a contact but for ME not work...MY photo do not appear at right of Me:blablabla...
In same way like for other it worked for me. Try remove your profile information from phone and make sure that you haven't stored number elsewhere and try again.
I tried several times this does not work...
factory reset -> not work...
on French forums several people have the same problem...
Little hazardous solution, but you can try install mms apk from me, for try if it helps.
But backup original apk, or better do nand backup.
Thanks, i test now after a nand backup
Not work, i try to install and i have error msg: app not installed
and if copy your file to system/app icon of sms not appear...
tomorrow i try void rom...
Same problem with void rom, it is really strange....
i have the same problem.....

LOOOL, you will not believe!!! I was thinking about and I figured out, that here can be only one differences between each other and it is language. I chosen English instead of czech and guess what!! It didn't works. So, dou know some other language or can I write "how to" in czech?
I have the same problem. Italian user.
I think, that creating new contact with picture and yours phone number (without country code) should be enough.
so i figured it out ! you go to phone dialer > contacts > menu button > more and my profile and there u go
i allready try this method but not work on my phone...i don't know what to do
for me its work only with handcent...
I think it si a problem of sim card, Mine is more than 15 years old...
On parameter/ about phone/ status/ my number phone is unknow...
i am running 2.3.3 pre-rooted gb rom. i have noticed that some of my contacts show incoming and outgoing call picture while others dont show at all. i tried all means but still it doesnt show when i dial. but when i open the contact for editing the contact pic i assigned is there. Any idea what is happening??? also the quality is still bad, i miss the quality of pic in 1.6 version.
its very bad
no matter where the pic source comes from
from facebook
from twitter
from google sync
from own gallery
Hi, guys!
I realize that adding photos at contacts was better at the old SE Android contact app.
Adding photos with "mediascape" at the old contact app was better... the "mediascape" always cropped the photo on a wide aspect, fitting OK on the contact page.
Now, it's always a square aspect that don't fit right on the contact page. Something wierd! And when you get an incoming call, the photo resolution is ****ty and zoomed. Too bad!
The contact photo not showing on outcoming and incoming calls, but when you open the contact it has a photo is due to the facebook integration. In EDIT mode, when you have a contact with a picture at the FB profile and no photo on contact app, if you press the picture and choose "set as contact picture", this will happen.
its very lousy of sony to release a failed update
