X10 2.1 the contact photo is very blur when call out or call in.
X10 1.6 it 's no problem about contact photo ,it's very clear.
Has one any inquired with SE to see if there is a certain resolution the pictures need to be? or even dimensions might make a difference.
have the same problem... its really blurry
the same problem here

This problem is caused when the contact pictures are synced with gmail. They upload in low quality. So when you download them they are going to be low quality

contact pictures aren't synced, and when you just browse the contact people, picture is very clear,but when you call in or call out ,picture is very blur.
I have the same problem like ppp1974. It's very annoying, but I don't find any solution yet. Shame on SE
I have the same problem, taking a new contact picture and when I call picture is still blure
Sorry I'm new here, lurking for UK 2.1 update news, so haven't seen it myself, but... I believe the pixellated contact photos is an android enforced 96 x 96 pixel limitation. Certainly when syncing with google contacts, there are hoardes of people saying the limit should be lifted or a push from phone to google account, rather than google able to push the 96 pixel limitted one. Several threads / requests on google code website. It is dissapointing if SE have changed this, as indicated by posters here, it seems to work well on 1.6...

contact photos work well on X10 1.6
Anyone solve this?
It seems that 2.1 is trying to stretch the contact pictures from the native resolution (from the contact list) which is making them blurry.
if so then sux, anyone tried sync them with timescape and then use facebook sync??
dunno it that can help us
Problem solved..
I found that when joining contacts from phone with facebook contacts it makes a blurry photo.
BUT when joining contacts with facebook I had two choices:
- 1.st was Contacts name, facebook icon and my email address.
- 2.nd was Contacts name, facebook icon and just Facebook or Timescape.
The second option makes crisp contact photos.
It works for me. If anything unclear send me a PM.
(edit):
If you go to edit your contact and you see already two facebook accounts in there (one with email address and one just with Timescape under it) then just touch photo under Timescape facebook section and select Set as contact picture.
If you get the fullscreen caller id app and assign pictures from there it fixes it in the phonebook as well. Also i read that this is a general android issue and not only x10.

Bitte this is only a solution if you habe a facebook account.
Same here. Only the default pic from Timescape/default contact app works well, everything else is blurry in call screen (I am not using FB).
EDIT: It is a generally issue because Google only uses pics in I think 96x96. The solutions from other devices is to make another contact with the same name as you already have, but make it as a contact only in your phone (not google contact). After that when you edit this "double" contact, you can assign photo to the contact in the phone and after that phone uses this foto, not that one on the google. The problem is that this solution doenst work on X10 (at leasts not on mine), it makes pics look better, but still it is blurry.
EDIT2: Just for testing purposes, make whole new contact on the phone, assign any photo you want (I have tried photos from 4mpix camera as well as from 12mpix camera - doesnt matter) and still when in call in/out screen, its blurry and here I think the problem is on the X10 part.
it is not genral problem from google it's from se stupidity they were working in 1.6 and i have htc hero with 2.1 and every thing is ok so se should repair this huge mistake with some fix
This method is little strange, but it's working..
Install from market - "Full Screen Caller ID" app, then open and assign any new photos to contacts. Then you must uninstall Caller ID, and that's all.
I think that this application overrides default pics 96x96...
Hi Im having a hard time with my contact pics. they come out very low rez. I have turned off the google sync and still the same problem
while on that topic, is there a way to make it a larger pic when someone calls, all that space and just a little square in the middle
Same problem, and would like full screen hd caller id but the apps out right now don't seem too hot

Same here, even if I manually choose a high res photo, it gets low quality on the first call. Haven't find a solution yet
Friend caster pro syncs all my contact pics on gingerbread in HQ. They are still small one the call screen but crystal clear
There was a work around with the HTC EVO where you given the option to create a contact saved on the phone verses being saved to your google account. All images saved as phone contacts would display crystal clear on the caller ID. Obviously this didn't back up the contact with your google account so you would end up having to create a contact on the phone and a contact on google and connect two duplicates. A royal pain to set up but did resolve the problem.
I have no idea if a different Contacts APK with this functionality would solve it in the Motorola though.
I know about google sync, it's turned off. I've manually changed all contact pics on my Defy (2.3.7) and exported them to .vcf. Had no problem with restoring them on a new ROM. But this isn't working on RAZR, restoring from vcf or adding manually, doesn't make sense. They remain fuzzy
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

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

'Punit Soni - This is work in progress guys. We are fixing it '
HI guys,
I´ve just moved to CM10.1 JB 4.2.2 in my S2
I´ve noticed that contact list pics now have been improved, but not all.
in order to get a better quality (of some) i need to go and see the G+ profile and open the profile pic, otherwise I still see them all blury when I access the contact photo or when I receive a call.
Is there a way to force sync with hi-res pics? I´ve tried deleting the account and adding it again.. but nothing.
I can´t believe we are still facing this dumb issue, it should be piece of cake for google
ideas? thanks!
Hello,
I know this is not necessarily a S9+ question, but that's what I'm currently on. I've tried to find a solution about this on google and I am confused about the threads I've found. Some say google now has high res pictures for contacts now ( some thread from 2012 ), some say it has never been fixed, some say they found a workaround. I am just not able to get a nice looking photo after the contacts sync. I go into contacts, I set an image for someone and next time I enter in contacts on that same person, the image is blurry as hell. I've also tried to set an image through the google contacts web app and I had the same result. Does anyone know how to solve this? I would like to see a nice picture that I set when someone calls me and not an 8-bit image that reminds me of the good old days of playing Mario and Space Invaders.
