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

As the title says I've assigned photos to some of my contacts. I know the quality of the pics are fine as I use the exact same pics for my TD2. However when I make or receive a call from the contact, the picture displayed is very blurry, not clear at all.
I know that with the TD2 & all the previous WM phone I had I had to assign the picture to the contact using a different app (e.g. S2U2, etc) than the HTC in built one. Is that the case with the Hero? If so which app should I use?
Thanks
Facebook sourced contact photos appear not too bad, but as you say, any pic used from the camera or other image source appear very pixelated.

It is the same issue
When you are texting someone and the person reply, if you have a photo for that contact in your phonebook, the contact foto is shown in the message thread.
can I add a photo to my own profile so that its shows up where my text messages says ME:
Cheers
i think you have to set it in People - My Contact Card, the first thing under Add Contact
I ll check it out, cheers
Oh hai
I just installed CM9 on my awesome-sauce Galazy S2 (sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!)
When I text someone I can see their picture, but I don't see a picture of me.
How do I add a picture of me??????
please. Important.
Thanks,

Create a contact for yourself, edit it, and add your photo. It will then show up for you in text messages.
No it does because theres an app for it in the market
do you have a Galazy S2?

Awesome-sauce! Thanks. This is really good because it also creates a contact for myself if I want to call myself ever lololololololol
I use HaxSync so everything syncs with Facebook. It syncs whatever picture I use as profile pic on Facebook as my contact info.
Sorry if this topic seems rather mundane, but there is something about my contacts list on my GS2 that confuses me. Since the ICS update my contacts list looks great and I am happy with the overall design. I like the picture at the top 1/3 which shows the contact's image. On most conatcs this picture is stationary, as you might expect, however on a few instances, the picture is able to slide to the left to reveal the contact's GOOGLE+ pics and latest postings. This is great!! But not available on all my contacts and some DO have GOOGLE+ accounts, but they are not accessable from the slide left feature. Is there a setting that activates this feature? Is there a permission I need before it becomes functional?
If anyone has any guidence it is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Under ICS the incoming caller's contact photo is obstructed by the answer-options in the bottom half of the screen, so that the picture is virtually impossible to see below the upper one third or so of the image.
Is there any way to easily change this so that the contact photo is completely separate and unobstructed? Either the way it was under Gingerbread, or some other better way?
I've seen and tried plenty of incoming/callerID apps on the market, but they all require one to re-specify new, larger full screen/HD contact images to associate with callers. I don't want to do this for hundreds of existing contacts, and I don't want to have to sync with some external social network to get new photos. I still want to use the original (square shaped) contact photos I already have in the default/stock/system contact database, and have them fully visible and unobstructed on the incoming call screen.
Is there any app or hack that will enable this? Thanks...
