image issue
DID you saved your images properly,these issue often comes when images are not saved properly, I will suggest you should use Picassa for Pictures,
Google+ can be set to upload the images automatically. I don't think Picassa supports that. However Google owns Picassa so maybe the pictures Google Plus uploads go to Picassa . Since Picassa is also the same thing as Google+ he would be better off using the Google+. Picassa uploads directly to Google+ so no use in having 2 doing the same thing. You get 15GB storage with Google+ BTW with the new upgrades they did. I was legacy and bought 25GB for $2.49 a month and now they gave me a free 25GB so I now have 50GB total for pictures in HiRes.
I'm talking about when I do a Web search for images. When I tap a pic to view it enlarges the thumbnail but won't load the higher res version. Seems to be a Google search/now issue because if I try this in Dolphin browser it's fine.

Dear Android developers,
Most of you should be aware of this on going issue with Android:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=49e2b1adea1aa11c&hl=en
Basically, when you synced with GMail Contacts, the contact photos will be replaced with the low resolution 96x96 pixel resolutions that are stored in the GMail Contacts.
So, is anyone up to an application to workaround this?
I have a very good idea, an application that does this:
- Start the application
- Click the "Replace" button
- Then the application will search all image files in folder /sdcard/ContactPhotos
- For each matching image file name with "<lastname>,<firstname>.png", the application will replace the contact photo with that image file
- Process until finished with all stored image files
- Done
The idea of this application, user could easily replace all contact photos using locally stored high resolution image files, in one go.
Whenever, our contact photos are replaced with low resolution from GMail Contacts or after flashing a new ROM, or other means, we can easily restore them back with high resolution easily!
So, please, if you are capable of making this kind of app, you could be the one who solve this years of Android problem.
Thanks.
just sign in to FriendsStream widget with facebook or twitter, and sync with all contacts!
this will fix this issue and images will be clear and hq
Very nice
Should be said that it's a ICS speficic problem
This is not about Facebook/Twitter contact sync.
This is about GMail Contacts sync.
Those two are different, if you dont know.
And not all people (contacts) are on Facebook/Twitter!
I also heard that even with FriendsStream/SyncMyPix, to sync with Facebook, you will not get high resolution image.

No, this is not ICS specific problem.
This problem is known issue since as long as 2008:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1265
Wonder why we don't have workaround like this suggested app ...

Well would say it is The actual size when people call is decided in the phone and people app. Android other than ICS will still be limited to the small sizes. Only ICS supports 256x256 pictures and will therefore only benifit for a server upgrade / this app

Moving to Q&A
In GB, I can replace contact photo with high resolution, no problem with that.
But once you sync with GMAIL Contacts, it will be replaced with low resolution.
Have you read the original Google bug tracking started on 2008?
You should, then you would understand.

If you read carefully, I was not asking to solve a problem as by tweaking or changing configuration.
I was asking someone who could write an application that does specific task, replacing contact photos using high resolution images stored locally.
Got that?

Did anyone actually do something like this? Or found an existing app that does something like it?
The closest thing I have found is this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eclipson.ContactPhotoFinder
But while it is possible to search your local storage, it doesn't perform a search & match for "Contact Name" and "Contact Name.jpg"...

I set a pic of my GF as her contact id pic.... Well got a dif phone and sync'd contacts, now I have that pic of her only in contacts.... How do I get this pic back?
Sent from my Motorola Electrify using XDA
Well, I'm sorry bro, but as far as I know, you can only add pictures to contacts and cannot save them back. Why don't you just take another picture?
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks, hope that helps
I rarely see her at the moment and it was just a really cute p pic
Sent from my Motorola Electrify using XDA
As above post says, i don't think there is a way, unless you were able to get the old sdcard that was in your phone and the picture would be in the DCIM folder of that.
If you go to your gmail account on a computer and view your contacts you can save a scaled down version of the picture, but it is the same resolution of the picture you currently can see on your phone..

I found an idea. You should download program from Google Play called "Save Contact photo" then you will see all your contacts there and you can share those contact photos via Bluetooth(should have another phone for that!). And then you can see that photo in another phone's gallery, so you can easily transfer it via Facebook or Whatsapp.
The best solution
Ask your GF to remove her profile picture on WhatsApp, then after she removes the pic, Your phone will show your contact picture as the WhatsApp profile picture, go ahead and save the picture.
Google Play app "Save Contact Photo"
MrMatas1 — hey do you happen to remember the exact name of that app? I cannot find it on Play Store— It's of course possible it's never been updated in 2 years, so isn't showing up. Would you mind taking a look and report back? It sounds like a great app. Thank you!

I'm new user at xda and still not allowed to post links but you can search google play store for this package id:

Hello to everyone who is using IM app ChatON, whether on Samsung mobiles or others.
Was anyone able to find a way to clear all the shared pics, animated mssgs, vds etc etc that always stay in trunk and return back even when start a new chat, after deleting the old chat.
To explain in detail, when we chat with someone using ChatON and share some pics, vds or etc etc, which stay in trunk of that chat window do not have the option to delete them like in WatsApp. But when delete the chat, there is a pop up that says "All your messages with trunk will be deleted permanently" looks promising. But when we start a new chat with the same person whom we have recently shared pics, vds etc etc, all the trunk is restored. Does it mean all our shared data is stored in Samsung servers? (It does not sound very good if its true ) Then is there anyway to delete the trunk Permanently without anything being restored when we start a new chat.
I have posted this thread here because this particular app has increased the quality of the way we chat unlike in any other IM apps like watsapp, viber, tango, IMO, etc etc. Its fast and super eye candy. So just wanted to know if we have a solution for the problem I mentioned above. One should use it before commenting negative about this app . Tried to find any stored data of this app using Root Explorer, but could not find any and could not find any solution anywhere. But then, after complaining about this issue (this is a issue to me), and no reply from ChatON or Samsung even after 9 days, I have decided to take help from XDA.
Moderators and Senior members, please excuse me if this thread is irrelevant to XDA, and please delete the thread, if you wish so. I just wanted to know, how the app functions so that we could tweak it, in order to make it more secure.
I've taken a lot of pictures while on holiday, and although their geotagged location is shown and placed on Google maps I would like to be able to share these maps with an option to find these locations via GPS.
To reiterate: I can share the maps with the pictures but there doesn't seem to be anyway of getting directions to them.
Can anyone suggest an app or a way of doing this?
You're going to have to go into more detail because I dont understand the issue.
disclaimer - I am on a custom rom...
But if I open a photo in gallery, and do a "view on map", It loads in google maps app. If I then click into the location, I can share it (as a link).
This link opens in google maps app or opens google maps on any computer browser and "get directions" can be used.
If this isn't what you're talking about, please be more explicit about what you are asking and how you want to do things, because I dont understand
Also, please pst questions in the Q&A section

I've taken pictures on holiday and geotagged them with the GPS.
I have uploaded them to Picasa which has placed them on Google maps at the geotagged locations.
I can share the folder with friends, and they can view my map with my pictures shown at the locations.
However.
Although they can see the geotagged locations of each picture on the map, they cannot get directions to them.
Oh and as this is not a ROM issues I believe this belongs in here under 'General Chat'
All questions in relation to the S3 go in Q&A. General is not for questions.
Although, your question has nothing to do with the S3 or even android at all. Your question is a picasa question
But you're right, Picasa provides no way of doing this. I was frustrated earlier this month when I geotagged some photos I took with my SLR and uploaded them to picasa.
Once in Picasa, the best option I can suggest is click the "Full details" link which gives you the longitude and latitude, which if you paste into google maps, becomes something you can get directions to.... Its not very good. A glaring omission I'd say.
If you had a Google+ account, your picasa albums would convert into that instead and when you share from Google+, the point on the map is clickable and opens in google maps, with "Get Directions"

No it doesn't, I've explained this to you both via a report closing message and a PM, I don't think it needs discussing further frankly.

Sorry I've only just seen your report and thank you for moving it into the correct area :good:
So a few Months down the line is there any new/updated apps/services that can give you directions to Geotagged photos?
Basically I do a lot of exploring, and would love to be able to convert geotag information to directions that I can share with other people
Nothing since Google+ as in my last post.

Hi there,
Whatsapp stores ALL media files within ONE huge folder --> I've got about 6000 pictures in it, including much trash pics.
Now I would like to extract/copy all pictures which were send between me and a specific contact (i.e. my girlfriend) to another folder so that I can transfer them on to my computer.
Do you know any way? Is there ANY way of doing it, even it is not only a one-click solution...? Or any third party addon/plugin?
Couldn't find anything when googeling as my keywords gave much too many hits.
Thanks in advance!
Bjoern
Hello and thank you for posting in the Q&A section,
there is no method to export only media of one contact. You can try to press send chat as E-Mail in the chat of you girlfriend and choose the option with media. After that you can send the chat including media to your own E-Mail and download the pictures to your PC. Kind regards, Trafalgar Square
Thanks, I'll try this - but I somehow doubt this could work, as I have about 2500 files sent between me and my girlfriend. Probably too much to be saved as a mail draft in GMail App (
Didnt work, as I thought
