X10 2.1 the contact photo is very blur when call out or call in.
X10 1.6 it 's no problem about contact photo ,it's very clear.
Has one any inquired with SE to see if there is a certain resolution the pictures need to be? or even dimensions might make a difference.
have the same problem... its really blurry
the same problem here

This problem is caused when the contact pictures are synced with gmail. They upload in low quality. So when you download them they are going to be low quality

contact pictures aren't synced, and when you just browse the contact people, picture is very clear,but when you call in or call out ,picture is very blur.
I have the same problem like ppp1974. It's very annoying, but I don't find any solution yet. Shame on SE
I have the same problem, taking a new contact picture and when I call picture is still blure
Sorry I'm new here, lurking for UK 2.1 update news, so haven't seen it myself, but... I believe the pixellated contact photos is an android enforced 96 x 96 pixel limitation. Certainly when syncing with google contacts, there are hoardes of people saying the limit should be lifted or a push from phone to google account, rather than google able to push the 96 pixel limitted one. Several threads / requests on google code website. It is dissapointing if SE have changed this, as indicated by posters here, it seems to work well on 1.6...

contact photos work well on X10 1.6
Anyone solve this?
It seems that 2.1 is trying to stretch the contact pictures from the native resolution (from the contact list) which is making them blurry.
if so then sux, anyone tried sync them with timescape and then use facebook sync??
dunno it that can help us
Problem solved..
I found that when joining contacts from phone with facebook contacts it makes a blurry photo.
BUT when joining contacts with facebook I had two choices:
- 1.st was Contacts name, facebook icon and my email address.
- 2.nd was Contacts name, facebook icon and just Facebook or Timescape.
The second option makes crisp contact photos.
It works for me. If anything unclear send me a PM.
(edit):
If you go to edit your contact and you see already two facebook accounts in there (one with email address and one just with Timescape under it) then just touch photo under Timescape facebook section and select Set as contact picture.
If you get the fullscreen caller id app and assign pictures from there it fixes it in the phonebook as well. Also i read that this is a general android issue and not only x10.

Bitte this is only a solution if you habe a facebook account.
Same here. Only the default pic from Timescape/default contact app works well, everything else is blurry in call screen (I am not using FB).
EDIT: It is a generally issue because Google only uses pics in I think 96x96. The solutions from other devices is to make another contact with the same name as you already have, but make it as a contact only in your phone (not google contact). After that when you edit this "double" contact, you can assign photo to the contact in the phone and after that phone uses this foto, not that one on the google. The problem is that this solution doenst work on X10 (at leasts not on mine), it makes pics look better, but still it is blurry.
EDIT2: Just for testing purposes, make whole new contact on the phone, assign any photo you want (I have tried photos from 4mpix camera as well as from 12mpix camera - doesnt matter) and still when in call in/out screen, its blurry and here I think the problem is on the X10 part.
it is not genral problem from google it's from se stupidity they were working in 1.6 and i have htc hero with 2.1 and every thing is ok so se should repair this huge mistake with some fix
This method is little strange, but it's working..
Install from market - "Full Screen Caller ID" app, then open and assign any new photos to contacts. Then you must uninstall Caller ID, and that's all.
I think that this application overrides default pics 96x96...
When eclair was officially released to X10, I synchronised my contacts with the facebook application. The resulting contact images were of very poor quality. But the images due to timescape were of high quality, as always.
Is there a way to solve this problem?
And previously, I had synchronised my contacts with SonySync & gmail. After the update, it led to redundant phone numbers and email addresses.
Is there a way to sync contacts with Sonysync, gmail, facebook but still see just one phone number under a contact name?

i have a different issue. my contacts images looks normal, but my timescape pictures are ugly.
A very good question worths a deep in investigation to get a balance resolution best fits to both applications, please post your two sets of resolution, saving our time working further the issue out, thanks.
Hi Im having a hard time with my contact pics. they come out very low rez. I have turned off the google sync and still the same problem
while on that topic, is there a way to make it a larger pic when someone calls, all that space and just a little square in the middle
Same problem, and would like full screen hd caller id but the apps out right now don't seem too hot

Same here, even if I manually choose a high res photo, it gets low quality on the first call. Haven't find a solution yet
Friend caster pro syncs all my contact pics on gingerbread in HQ. They are still small one the call screen but crystal clear
There was a work around with the HTC EVO where you given the option to create a contact saved on the phone verses being saved to your google account. All images saved as phone contacts would display crystal clear on the caller ID. Obviously this didn't back up the contact with your google account so you would end up having to create a contact on the phone and a contact on google and connect two duplicates. A royal pain to set up but did resolve the problem.
I have no idea if a different Contacts APK with this functionality would solve it in the Motorola though.
I know about google sync, it's turned off. I've manually changed all contact pics on my Defy (2.3.7) and exported them to .vcf. Had no problem with restoring them on a new ROM. But this isn't working on RAZR, restoring from vcf or adding manually, doesn't make sense. They remain fuzzy
Okay guys I have been having this or a similiar problem since back when i had my droid X.
Here is what happens:
I sync my contacts with google and facebook, pretty everything links okay and the contacts that don't I manually link to the proper facebook contact. All of my contacts have pictures now from facebook. When I use the messaging app my contact images seem random, some show up some don't. I have googled this to no avail and it seems that others do have this problem and something like syncmypix app can solve the problem which is the route i took with my Droid X. This method seems hacky to me and I really dont like having to run another syncing app when the pictures seem to already be connected to the contact.
The second bigger problem is that the contacts without pictures seem to not actually be connected to the proper contact at all in the messaging app. When i click on the "ghost man" (because the picture doesnt show up) thumbnail I am not forwarded to the contact details. However for contacts with pictures everything works properly.
When I use a third party messaging app (sliding messaging) everything works perfectly.
So the question is, am I doing something wrong? Is there an inherent flaw or bug in android that is ****ing this up? Is my cellphone data corrupt? What is going on... I love android but this is seriously almost driving me away as it has been an issue for almost 3 years with 2 different phones for me.
Thank you!
Hello,
I know this is not necessarily a S9+ question, but that's what I'm currently on. I've tried to find a solution about this on google and I am confused about the threads I've found. Some say google now has high res pictures for contacts now ( some thread from 2012 ), some say it has never been fixed, some say they found a workaround. I am just not able to get a nice looking photo after the contacts sync. I go into contacts, I set an image for someone and next time I enter in contacts on that same person, the image is blurry as hell. I've also tried to set an image through the google contacts web app and I had the same result. Does anyone know how to solve this? I would like to see a nice picture that I set when someone calls me and not an 8-bit image that reminds me of the good old days of playing Mario and Space Invaders.
