Hi, After so much googled i posting here that i am looking for a app which can sort the gallery by contact name specially for WhatsApp so i can transfer my gallery to computer by contact name which i can access in future easily. Pleas recommend me the app
Meh, I wouldn't wrap my contacts around a social app. Won't even let that app run on any of my devices.
You're setting yourself up to get nailed...
Let's arrange your post:
You have a contact in your phone, named Jack.
Jack sent you few pictures through WhatsApp.
You want a folder in your phone to be named Jack, holding the pictures he sent to you.
You want to copy WhatsApp media files to your computer, and want the folders to be holding pictures of every single chat on your WhatsApp, separately.
Is this what are you trying to say?

Here's the deal with the way I share photos. I don't do social media, I don't have "walls" anywhere. I show pictures to my wife and folks and they send pictures to me. But doing this via email the way we do now is cumbersome. Snap...open email...attach...no not that one, the other one...delete...attach...add email addresses... etc etc etc. And that's not even addressing the issue of file size limitations.
I need something super simple that allows sharing of 1-4 pictures quickly after taking them without having to manage a whole social media app in the process. Does something like this even exist or am I not a market that anyone cares to create an app for because my photo use can't be monetized by a marketing manager?
Thanks guys! Any app suggestions would be great. If it could work across Blackberry as well that would be great. All I can find is flickr??
I just use my dropbox account. added my mom to the photo folder and she can just go to the dropbox website. The dropbox app makes it very easy to upload photos right after you take them. This works for you too. If they just upload photos to the shared dropbox folder you can view them from computer or phone. Only problem is you don't get any notification of new content like you get with e-mail.

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"...

This seems to fit the requirements:

Vault—the Ultimate in Privacy Protection
Vault hides your confidential SMS messages, contacts, call logs, pictures and videos. It’s the BEST app for Android users to hide SMS messages and call history from prying eyes! It keeps your private stuff hidden, giving you complete control over your privacy and security.
With Vault, you can:
1. NEW in 2.0! Monitor who’s trying to see what’s on your phone and photograph them in the act. This feature requires an Android 2.3 (or higher) device with a front-facing camera.
2. NEW in 2.0! Hide your photos and videos so only you can see them. They’ll be encrypted and only viewable in Vault when you enter the correct password.
3. Import your sensitive SMS text messages to Vault. Strong encryption and password protection ensures they’ll be hidden from everyone but you.
4. Make your private contacts invisible. Simply add a number to Vault and any calls or messages from this number will only appear in Vault. They’ll no longer appear in your phone's native SMS folder and call logs.
TIP: We recommend adding your most commonly used contacts to
Vault. If your phone is lost or stolen, you won’t have to worry about anyone accessing your contacts or messages.
5. Protect your real Vault by creating one or more “fake” vaults. If someone insists that you give them your password and display your secret messages, you can show them the “fake” vault. Problem solved!

This app lost all of my contacts that I stored in it and since it deletes them from your android contacts I can't get them back. Photo/video seems to work but definitely would not recommend this app for anything you wouldn't want lost.

you must return to your settings before uninstall the app... i did the same mistake first time but my luck was that i chose to hide only the videos... so before uninstalling turn back to show contacts, videos, and other things that you selected to hide
I think you have a folder on your sdcard (the app folder) and there must be the things that you chose to hide.. cheek it
i have format my hp without backup my file on vault 1st...then after format i install vault back...my old file cannot open...please help me to recover back my file...
Does anyone know of an app that can actually hide other apps?

free cannot, premium may offer additional feature
Needs a file explorer. I have videos that I need hidden, but the app can't find them.
Help
I accidently cleared the Data of this app… I've reinstalled it, but it doesn't show the previous ones :'(
What should I do ?
I've searched that long time
Thanks a lot
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:

Hey man is there any possible way we could add features to your app man .... Like Selecting all contacts and downloading them also maybe away of syncing them back to contacts???
Maybe ??
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
