Got a bit of an annoying issue. Every time I capture a picture to send through mms, it saves to my gallery. With previous phones, if I was in messages, went to attach, camera, capture... it would not save that picture. I send a lot of pictures this way and do not really want nor need to save all of them, and it clutters up my gallery big time. Can't seem to find an option to stop this.

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
is default action, not changable to my knowledge
I figured it out!
Try going through the messenger and shutting off save photos to gallery! I was super happy to find that feature!

Is there a possible a permanent texting program similar to the one provided by HTC where the picture is included with the text messages but that be the primary texting application. Instead of going to the old list of text messages and opening it. Have a picture next to the person your talking to, I sometimes forget who I'am texting lol I know it sounds bad but if i had the picture next the it at all times that would be cool

I'm guessing he wants to have his sms inbox looking like it does in sense 2.5, with the contact picture next to the message.
I would love to have this as well in my sms inbox on a regular winmo6.5 titanium rom, does anybody know if there is such a thing available? (with out using sense 2.5)
Try PocketCM contacts. You still get a list of messages per contact (which makes sense), but their picture is shown at the top of the list
my contact pictures are currently syncing through facebook. when someone calls, the picture is relatively small compared to the open area surrounding this.
is there any way to make this bigger?
i was hoping the same as well, the picture is tiny as compared to amount of real estate being unused
I have had this issue on all the android phones I have had. There is an app that will take care of that. I think you might have to pay for it
check out an app called SyncMyPix and choose high res photos in the options. It syncs photos from facebook but you get the option of using the whole photo as opposed to a resized version.
Cheers
syncing now. thanks!
did this work for anyone? the pics are still tiny for me
What happened for me is high res pics. All facebook contacts now on phone which I didn't want. And the pics are the same size.
i guess there is still no way to get a bigger caller ID huh
yea lame
Hey there, this is my first HTC and Evo. Actually it's an HTC Evo 3D GSM. Rooted and on a stock 2.3.4 rom and stock kernel.
The thing that bothers me is the low res caller screen. I linked many Google contacts with their Facebook accounts. And set their caller pictures as well. But they are in so low resolution that actually i can count the pixels. I couldn't find an option for this and it's pretty annoying. Do you guys have the same issue, is this an Evo 3D thing, or is it just me?
You can see it in attachments.
Mine is slightly pixelated, but not even close as yours. See example below:
Yeah, mine has no hope. But i figured out something. The resolution of the caller picture has the same resolution which is used in little, tiny thumbnails on "People" section of contacts. I'm pretty sure that i dont have to change them manually. This shouldnt have happened at all. This is my third android phone. First one was Galaxy Mini, second one was LG Optimus Black. None of these used to have this kind of weird problem.
Mine does the same thing. It does look nasty.
If you have the contact picture stored on your sd then you can just edit the contact threw the people app and reapply the picture. I go threw the same thing after I wipe cache & davlik cache. It takes me like a good 35 to 40 min to reapply all the pictures in my contacts. I just leave it untill I have some down time to reapply them. Unfortunately I haven't figured out why this happens or a fix for it so I just work around it. Hope this helps.

That's terrible quality. I haven't had an Android phone yet that had half-decent contact photos UNLESS I was using HTC facebook contacts sync (as shown by tgruendler's post). I think it's a known problem with Google that they've failed to even address at this point. Once the contact becomes a google contact, the photo goes to crap. Even if the contact is stored only on the phone and the pic is on the sdcard, you're still probably going to have a bit of pixelation going on. My advice is use facebook sync on a sense rom. Sucks but that's the only thing that's ever really worked for me.

This use to really bother me when I first got my evo4G on release day. It's a very annoying issue that google refuses to address even know there is a huge thread about it on the google message boards. They just won't fix it. Sooooo since google is worthless here is your best work around that I have been using for a long time. Anytime you set a contact picture they get uploaded to google at which point they are are resized and over compressed which makes them look like crap.
Step #1 - Delete all contact pictures from your google contacts so they are blank.
Step #2 - Turn off facebook linking via htc sense & the facebook app.
Step #3 - Create a duplicate contact for the contacts you want to use high resolution pictures for. Very Important - the duplicate contact needs to be a phone contact & NOT a google contact. It should prompt you when making a new one.
Step #4 - Name the contact the exact same as your google contact. For example if your google contact is "Bill A" you would only fill out "Bill A" on your phone contact. Leave the rest blank, no #'s or anything.
Step #5 - While still in the phone contact you just created, set a picture on the PHONE contact. (At this point you should have all your high quality pictures saved & names on your sd card. I like to do 500X500 for mine) For best results use same amount of pixels across as well as down.
Step #6 - Once you have done that you need to link your phone contact to the google one. Most the time the phone will suggest this but sometimes it gets them wrong if it does just clear suggestion. Make sure when you do the link you start in the phone contact and not the google one.
Step #7 - You now have only 1 contact entry in your phone book with a high resolution picture that will show when the caller calls you or you dial out. The picture will not be backed up to google.
Tips: If you flash or reset your phone a lot, make a backup of your PHONE contacts only to your sd card before wiping. Don't backup anything else since the rest will be saved on google. Then when your done flashing, simply import the backups off your sd card. At this point you will have to manually go through and re-link the phone contacts to the google ones. Again make sure you set the link in the phone contact, not the google one. Sometimes when importing the phone backups it will have the phone number it backed up from the google contact. You have to delete the phone number from the phone contact or you get duplicates when sending texts which is kinda annoying.
I attached a full resolution screen shot below of one of my contacts looks like. I wish stupid google would just fix this but they don't seem to care. Hope this was helpful, good luck.
I've had this bug in so many ROM's.
I always get it fixed by either installing it if it isn't, or syncing the Facebook for HTC Sense. That one seems to get the crisp pictures, but the Facebook app is a bad one, that seems to be the culprit for pulling the blurry ones down.

Use Friendcaster. It has an option for hi-res pictures. Its not crystal clear, but its way better than what you are seeing.
Hey guys, thank you very musch four you replies and I'm sorry that I couldn't write a thing for days. I was out of town for a few days. Whatever...
First thing I did was to unfreeze the Facebook for HTC application and freeze Facebook for Android. I linked the contacts with Facebook with HTC. The result was a little bit better than the old settings. I mean, not crystal clear but at least I can recognize the person calling me. But still, it's not like the way I want, or it should be. What a shame for Google. It's just a photo. Why do you have to resize it that way?
I believe this is solved in ICS. Hi-Res Contact Pics Was A Feature.

Is there a way to save images from Facebook app? I can't seem to be able to save them or even have a share option so I can send them to others via text. I even tried using NFC, but that just opens up the Facebook app for the other party.
Your help is appreciated! :good:
nope, not from the app. One of the things I miss about iOS.
I usually just hit share and email it to myself.
You can do it from the mobile web page though
Dang that sucks, I used to be able to do on my Galaxy S3... :/
Hopefully Facebook can fix their app so it can be done on on the DNA too.
Anyone know where the watch picks up contact photos from? I use HaxSync on my phone and the images are hi-res, but when I get a message on my phone it shows up really blurry.

I noticed the same thing. The photos look terrible (blurry).
I'm assuming image is from cloud. My images are blurry on my watch as well

I've found that it uses the small picture from the notification on the phone...hence the very low res. Also, the issue with hangouts where the notification doesn't show any picture seems to also happen on the watch. I'd rather have no picture than the blurry one.
Hoping this can be fixed in a future update
