So I love this phone but just hooked up my dropbox to it. And I noticed whenever I take a Zoe, it uploads like 20 pictures to my DropBox account! Anyone know a way around this? I'm assuming it's a problem with the way Zoes are stored on the One
Yup. Turn off auto-sync of your photos from dropbox or the auto upload in the camera settings should do it.
Kind of sucks though... Won't be able to back up my pictures now

Wow. That is an issue. Just had to delete a ton of photos from dropbox because of that. Probably never would've noticed if I hadn't seen thus post.

Anyone have HaxSync working? I loved this app on my Epic 4G, it would download high-res contact photos from Facebook and use them instead of the low-res ones from Google.
Every time I try to set it up I get the annoying "Unfortunately HaxSync has stopped"
I got it to work no problem, but it has the same crappy quality pictures that come with the FB app contact sync.

Yeah, I don't get it. On AOSP with Haxsync the pictures were beautiful. On Sense 4 it's just garbage, even when manually choosing the "Haxsync" picture in the inividual contact settings.
yup same problem here. strange how it worked on ics leaks and kangs but on an official shipped ics, it doesn't
I too am interested in this...
On ViperRom right now, it is not giving me higher quality images.
ALTHOUGH... I seem to remember before I rooted that it DID give better pics?
Ok I was able to get it to install. Had to uninstall, reboot (probably to clear the cache), then re-install.
It's not syncing my contacts though (0 contacts shown in Sense People) but it looks like that's a problem with everyone right now according to the HaxSync Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/HaxSync
Ok just checked their Facebook Page seems to be up and running. It's also downloading high res photos on my stock rom

Yes. You have to switch the photos though manually to use the haxsync photo instead of the Google photo.
This works for me too. Super annoying to have to manually switch pictures on every contact. Has Anyone figured out how to set haxsync pics to default?

SEE POST 4 FOR MY SMALL RESERARCH AND PROBLEMS SOLVED.
I've been trying to find out where this is located on this phone. When I used sense 4 Rom on my rezound it was right there in the accounts and sync. I know it was supposed to be included with sense 4 and all the reviews I see show it on there. Did we get hosed or am I missing something?

I have never seen these included in a stock rom. They are both downloadable from the market though.
While it's not in my list of apps, if you go to the list of apps under Settings -> Apps, there is a listing for 'Dropbox for HTC Sense' and 'HtcDropbox_GLRPlugin'. Can't figure out how to access it. More than likely, it adds on to the Dropbox experience when you download the Dropbox app. I haven't tried it since I don't use Dropbox or any other cloud service.
I haven't downloaded dropbox yet so I will try that.
http://www.htc.com/au/htc-sense/productivity/
That is HTC's sense page. I guess only the One X got it....of course. The rezound ICS I believe was part One X so maybe that explains it. Seems a few of the reviews I've seen for this phone showed it as an option, but maybe they just assumed since it was shown as a part of sense. That was an exciting aspect for me because I use it a lot, but it isn't crucial.
As far as using a 3rd party app. I have some photos on there that I would rather not risk a sneaky developer getting his hands on ;c)
EDIT: At the very bottom it says check with provider so see if they offer skydrive on your device. I'm sure that Verizon had their grubby hands in it.
2ND EDIT: Okay, I downloaded dropbox and now it syncs in my albums and shows under accounts and sync. Now if I could only get skydrive working.
FINAL EDIT: I've had no luck on the skydrive integration. It was very nice to have but it also seems that it was removed from the at&t version One X. On a better note I have descovered that ES File Explorer syncs very nice with skydrive and other cloud services.

Thanks for the tip on ES with Skydrive! Been using that ridiculous browser MS recommends. This is soooo much better!

Does anyone know how to stop the galley from showing Facebook photos without removing Facebook? So far that's the only thing I hate about this phone.

I don't have the HTC One in my hands yet but I am running Sense 5 on my HTC Evo Lte. Open up your gallery and click on the settings button, under the online services you should be able to unselect Facebook so that you don't have a million pictures in your gallery. Hope this helps.
There is currently no way to not have all those annoying FB updates in your gallery on the One. I posted on HTC's FB page about this issue, their response was to press My Gallery. This is the most frustrating thing about this phone. I didn't buy the HTC First because of the FB integration. Essentially this phone has the same downside.

So apparently the photo gallery will only show pictures you take with you camera. So where are the other photos like screen shots and saved imaged from texts and the internet. I cannot locate them. Is there a 3rd party photo gallery app we can download to view these photos?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Press the "My Photos" slide in the main gallery. It will take you to album view where you can see screenshots and downloads.
Sorry to hijack is there any way to get rid of the Facebook photos inside the gallery I hate that thanks for the answer if there is one?!

I've read this is a bug that HTC is aware of but have also read that HTC support told a user this is normal operation. If you are rooted you can freeze "Facebook for HTC Sense" which stops the photos from populating your gallery but still leaves a blank "Friends" panel...which I think is better than nothing.

Good to know. I'm having connectivity issues as wellso I may swap to an s4 if it doesnt get better soon.

Ok we have all heard this before, but this seems to be G2 specific?
Previously this issue had been fixed google side circa 2012 and hi res images were sharp on stock Android with Nexus 4. Now however they're back to blur on G2. Anyone get the same?
Same here low res

Just use haxsync on playstore. Changes your pictures to hi res.

Is there a way to do this without a Facebook account?
For example, my gmail contact photos on the desktop are higher resolution but those same contacts have different pictures *and* lower res on Android. I sync all my contacts, so I'd expect their photos to be synced as well.
Aw, man, this is a bummer. Wonder what the issue is, as this was resolved by Google some time ago...
Back when it was still an issue, I used "contact photo sync" from the play store. It stores your contact photos as a separate picasa/Google+ album, and syncs pictures there. You have to start with hi-res pics on your phone, though. At any rate, it worked well for me and doesn't use Facebook.
Still bummed if this is an issue (my sprint g2 arrives Tuesday)

If you readd the photos it should be fine. I did this and then when I reflashed and synced there wasnt a issue.

This app worked great. You just need to get the settings correct so it updates all your stuff correctly. Thanks.

What do you mean by re-add the photos? Do you mean put the photos onto phone, then setting it for each contact?
Found a solution for Google+ contacts:
Download contacts+, go to the contact whose pic is ugly, tap the pic, choose sync from Google+.
This will fix the image, then you can uninstall contacts+ when ur done.

I decided just to let LG know about this issue in a chat. I loved this part of the exchange:
REP: Unfortunately this will be the resolution that the phone will display after you sync with the account. Since the pictures are not coming directly from the phone but from the server, it will be displayed that way.
me: hmmm, i came from a Galaxy SII, running android 4.1, and it did not have this issue
me: the G2 is on a newer version of android
REP: That's right. This will be the actual phones feature.
me: so this is a "feature" of the G2? to have low res pictures on sync?
Low Res Contact Pics FIX
1) Star All Contacts or only Contacts with Pics
2) Settings > Sync > Sync Now (this is the step that helped me ensure all contacts will sync with high-res photos).
3) Clear Cache/Data in Contacts App & Contacts Storage
4) Go back to Settings > Sync
5) Sync all your contacts back in and you got your high quality pictures
EDIT EDIT:
Make sure you clear cache/data in both Contacts App and Contacts Data. When I only cleared Contacts App, half the photos were still low-res.
When I cleared both apps and then synced, all photos were high quality.
Special thanks to @AndroidStop & @yyz123 for figuring this out & posting steps
