alternate way to sync hi res photos - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As far as I can remember, I read somewhere here some developer teaching how to do the same job that haxsync do, but without sharing your contacts to them...
But now I´ve searched in all i9300 foruns, but didn´t find it. Does someone can help me?

Ive never understood this. Facebook has always sync'd on my device.

Google Apps; MS Exhange

Hi anyone know how to sync google apps on the HTC HERO
I want to be able to sync it like i could with my iphone.
Its ironic that google can't sync google apps.
please help
Erhhhhh - what on Earth do you mean? The Google apps on the Hero sync fine!
Little tip for you - if you are having a problem, it is worthwhile providing *details* rather than just saying something is not working and shouting for help!
Regards,
Dave
Thanks for ypur criticism, really helped.
I mean via ms exchange
What criticism? I told you that if you've a problem you need to provide details!
There are plenty of people here who will assist if they can, but they need to know exactly what your issue is.
Even now, your response isn't helpful because you haven't said what you are trying to sync and to what!
Regards,
Dave

[Q] problem sharing pics from 10.1

Searched, didnt see this. Is anyone having the issue of being unable to share pics to facebook?
Seems like every other option is there, except facebook.

[Q] Data in Contacts cannot be saved on i9100

Hello All,
My phone is i9100, using KG2 stock Hong Kong rom. When I made some changes in one of the contacts on the phone then saved the changes, it said save had been done. But after the phone handshaked with Gmail (it took about 40 seconds) all changes were revoked, so nothing was changed. I have around 3000 contacts. Is it related to large number of contacts on my phone?
I did a testing, is to disable all data connection so that my phone was isolated from the Internet. I made some changes in one of my contacts on the phone then saved it. Then waited for 2 minutes and then turned on data connection. The changes were revoked.
So I believe it is the matter of synchronization between phone and Gmail. This problem exists on my HTC Incredible S phone. There are so many experts making ROMs, do you have any clue on this?
Thanks!
This should be in Q&A section...
I can't find any in Q&A, can you help? Thanks!
The this should be in Q&A meant you should follow the rules Questions go in Q&A .
Not the answer is in Q&A .
Is it not in Q& A section anyway .

Go to contacts, click menu>more>Settings>save new contacts to
If that isn't set to Google, try doing that, other than that, I am stumped

"So I believe it is the matter of synchronization between phone and Gmail." <--- does this sentence in my post give you some hint that my contacts are being synchronized with Google's Gmail? if I chose save to phone only, not google, how can my contacts be sync with Gmail?
Thanks

Firstly I am just trying to render some assistance to someone who needs it.
Secondly, I do not have your phone with me so I was hoping you could confirm that setting as it is the first thing that should be checked.
Thirdly, the moment you turn the phone on for the first time and enter your Gmail credentials, all you contacts are synced, however, the default option in touchwiz (on all the roms I have used) is for that particular setting to be set as "Always ask"
fourthly, sorry for trying to assist in the thread that you created asking for assistance, also sorry for trying to confirm some basic settings before going further, as this has been an issue for others on this forum.
I hope someone is able to help you figure out your problem as the other suggestion that I have is better kept to myself as your attitude was greatly unappreciated
Thank You
PS. If you are having issues syncing contacts to gmail, you should state in the Opening Post that you have confirmed that you contact list is set to sync to gmail.....

no, it is not simply a general issue in sync contacts to gmail. The contacts on my phone were sync from my gmail account. you should take much time to understand the question.

Google Sync Alternative?

Hello!
I know this issue has been here already but thought I'd bring it up once more.
I am in love with my andorid phone so much that I put ICS on it and it's awesome!
The thing that ruins the great experience [ as for many others ] are the low-res contact pictures from Google sync.
The thing that I want is this: Sync all my contacts with HQ pics with Google [ don't we all ].
The alternatives of whom I know is syncing facebook pictures with existing Google contacts. Well.. For some reason this doesn't work for me as I don't need ALL facebook contacts in my phone. I need only the Google contacts. And the pics synced to the phone from FB are still in low-res [ is this how it's supposed to be? ].
So, what I want is my google contacts with high quality pictures.
I tried merging facebook contacts with google contacts using Google Contact Sync application [ http://heartofangel.com/google-contact-sync/ ] and it did the work great. Only again, the low-res, pixelated pictures jump out.
I spent the last two and a half hours searching for a fix, I did not find any that would be automated. Manually setting pictures is not an option as I frequently flash ROM's.
If not Google, is there any alternative syncing service that could provide my contacts with High Quality pictures? I'm even willing to merge to another service.
Or any idea why Google doesn't just do the HQ pics?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Just noticed that some 5 contacts have a descent quality picture. Checked many contacts and there is no difference in quality of their profile pics. What the hell?
Well you could individually take a photo with your phone and make it the contact pic or download a pic off Facebook and link it to the contact on the phone individually.
I understand this may take time, but I am not aware of any alternatives.
Edit: HTC links contact pics to Facebook automatically at a high quality
I have a HTC Sensation with Virtuous Inquisition 3.1.0b3 ROM.
Well, yes. It saves the HQ pictures but then I have ALL of the Facebook contacts and frankly I don't need all of them in my phone app..
Manually setting pictures would be a real pain because everytime I flash a different ROM or reflash this one, I would have to do all of that again.
Maybe any app or piece of software for Windows that could do this autmatically?
Like, for an example, sync android contacts to the computer, in that programm I just set all the data, including pictures, and sync those with the phone after every flash?
U could use a Sense ROM that links it... In Facebook sync options just click "Sync with Existing" and it only does the ones already in Ur contacts
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium. Please thanks!
i also have been searching for this solution for a long time but yet no result... why is not Google aware of it????
Hey guys, i've been researching this problem as well, and came along this google plus post

How to sync back Facebook info to Google Contacts? 2010-2013

I posted a similar question way back in 2010 in a thread for my old HTC Legend here.
3 years down the road and it seems there still doesn't exist a solution for that simple problem. So I want to try again:
Did anyone find a way to sync back facebook information to google contacts? If you get birthdays, email and phone numbers from facebook in your phone, it would be great to have that back in google contacts when using the desktop.
Even when properly linked, this kind of information is only in the phone and gets lost, when you loose a contact as facebook friend. When you flash a ROM or set up your phone new, installing Facebook with its sync will mess up your contacts again, creating duplicated for the same person, even if emails are the same and maintained manually in Google Contacts.
Is there really no other way? How do you guys handle that?
