Hi,
I just got my S3 a few days ago and I noticed something weird. Ive been using Handcent SMS for years now and never really had any problems with it. Now, I dont see any contact pics in the app unless they're from the Google profile or from the phone. If I set the pic from Facebook it doesn't show up. The exact same thing happens using Go SMS.
Also, why are the Facebook pics such crappy quality? ;/
Thanks for any help.
Anybody having a similar issue?

Thats because your screen is too big
Facebook avatars aren't that large on the site to start with, so appear slighly blury on these displays.
managed... you have to sync the contacts with Haxsync everything works fine! money well spent!

so, since we all know the asshats at Google won't get off their lazy asses and actually fix a problem that's been an issue since the inception of android (yes, thats the 96x96 pixel Gmail contact photos that look like complete garbage on our high def screens), i've tried taking the matter into my own hands while trying to be able to keep syncing contacts.
so, has anyone found a server or email that will sync contact pictures back at the NORMAL resolution you upload them to?
my grad school email address uses outlook web, so i can use microsoft exchange to sync my stuff back and forth..problem is, that syncs contact photos really low as well when my phone syncs back..and i can't add photos from teh Outlook web app.
what other email providers sync stuff, and possibly sync contact pics at a NORMAL resolution?
I also wanna know...
As I remember, the contact pics are fine on GB stock rooted rom.
I've flashed to ICS now, and pics are garbage.

Yeah they look much better on CM9 and AOKP. There actually full screen contact photos
Use haxsync if you are on ics. Your pics will look perfect if you are syncing from face book. If you are on gbread use friend caster pro and it will pull HQ photos to fill that little box with a clean pic.
That resolution issue bugs the heck out of me too and it's astounding that google hasn't fixed this for years (bugged me on my old DINC too and that wasn't a HD phone).
I downloaded Full Screen Caller ID and you can replace any contact pic with one of your choice at a high resolution. I've found the program a tiny bit buggy on the Rezound (may have to do with my Call Confirm app which prevents accidental calls), but it does look good on full screen vs the tiny box on stock...
You guys can try out "BIG! caller ID" in the app store. Of course, the Pro version is better, but It's worth a look.

UltimateCallScreen HD is pretty good too
yeah I was looking into those apps... they replace the standard phone app right?
I'd use haxsync, but I don't have Facebook so I have nothing to sync to lol

Big Caller ID is probably the buggiest of the 3 apps out there like this. Worked fine the first few times, then just stopped working at all, even after uninstalling and reinstalling.
Ultimate Call Screen seems to work the best for the Rezound.
I can tell you now, I miss facebook for htc sense when it used to ACTUALLY WORK, my contact pics aren't syncing, the facebook for android is sh*tty compared to what it used to be, this is more a rant than anything cuz I doubt it's fixable by a dev

it syncs for all my contacts, except my profile photo.
Ditto. You have to have your Facebook contacts viewable in the people app, then it will suggest links, or you can link them manually. Once linked, contact pics are synced.
it won't even sync fb contacts with 3rd party msg apps anymore!

If you're rooted you can use this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639275
Plus, it's already fixed in viperRom.

Ok, we need to see exactly what this does because not only did it unlock photos in messenger apps, it has unlocked my photos in Latitude for Google maps..
Thanks for posting this... What ever its doing I wonder if it can be baked into roms.

Tap on a contact in the people app and hit the second button from the top right that says google on it. You can use it to manually link a contact to a facebook contact and should sync photos as well

I would load up the pic for the contact entry, but in using apps like handcent or gosms it wouldn't show the pics, this program has unlocked the pics to be shown!
my FB contacts pix do sync but the quality is ****...

Not rooted
My phone is not rooted, so the above link will not work. Syncmypic does not work either. I am unable to manually link in people because the phone is registering that the person is on facebook already and although the paperclip is not linked, once I click on it, it takes me to OTHER people to link to and the person disappears from the list. My pics will not link to gosms at all. Please advise! Thank you.
the initial sync works fine..But facebook doesn't seem to update on its own..so im only seeing updates and contact photos from the initial sync.
Interesting

Hi,
is there a way to get better pictures for the contacts ?
thanks,
syd...
By using high quality pictures to begin with.........
You dont,t say
But i already assigend hi def to my contacts but after i changed to another rom
the pictures are now crapy again. Also wenn i look the contacts up in google contacts the pictures are very very low def
Reading some reviews of jelly bean, it said it is spose to fix this. By the sounds of it regardless of what image you use for your contact it said currently google converts it to like a 90x90 image (about that anyway). Jb will supposedly use a 720x720 image, so much better.

Download an app called contact sync that allows you to download 512x512 versions of your fb contact images.
Friendcaster has an option to sync the facebook pictures in high res.
anybody know of a non Facebook option? I sync between Outlook and Google contacts and I get the same problem.
use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync&hl=en
high resolution picture and also able to sync fb status update into contact..
Is this what you are looking for?

This this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nloko.android.syncmypix&hl=en
In conjunction with getting rid of the god-awful Facebook app and using your Browser (which is quicker, less of a battery drain and doesn't scan your text messages!)
HD contact photos on Play Store, that app fixes blurry contact pics
None of these apps sync with facebook I dont. Have the pictures on my phone to do it manually
There is an option for fb
i use Facebook contact sync by danut chereches. it pulls 720*720 images and links it to your contacts. it can also set how often to refresh the info as well. you can set the pic size if u want as well...
it has a nice feature that links the contacts based on fb notes that are attached to you phone contacts when you first linked it via facebook's app. so it's practically automatic.

Why is it that all my facebook contacts that are synced have blurry images? I thought this was supposed to be fixed with Jellybean?
I thought it was actually the other way around, it always worked up until Jellybean. Either way, you can try "Haxsync" from the play store, with the "Haxsync Jellybean workaround", also from the play store. It worked for me in the past, although i haven't used it lately because, to be honest, i stopped caring.

I heard that this program has issues with it not syncing updated or rather recently changed profile pics. Input?

No I haven't had that issue. Sometimes the app doesn't find some friends but you can click on the person and manually associated them through the app.
edit: You may have to re associate the person if there pic changes I assume
