I have one contact picture that is rotated incorrectly. Anyone know where the contact pictures are stored so I can edit it?
Thanks!

i guess it will be easier to remove it and then set it correctly.
the picture is stored inside the pim.vol file stored on the root path of your device. the pictures are synchronized with the outlook pictures, so you can also remove and add it within outlook.
good luck!
Hello!
When I choose a contact photo for anyone, it gets awefully compressed. It does not look close as crisp and clear as the placeholder which come with the pro/diamond...
Any suggestions how to change this.
Hi, i had the same. I removed the photo and re-added it and they were crrrrisp!
Same thing...use right hard key, select "change photo", select the same photo, and it will be crisp. That or when you add a favorite that has no photo, and you select one for the first time, it is nice and clear.
Good luck

Is there a way to sync the outlook contacts so that the photos that are within Outlook appear crisp on the Touch Pro? I noticed that this does not work very well. If you add a picture in Outlook and sync it, it is always compressed and ugly.
If you add the photo on the PPC within Pocketoutlook it is the same (or what is your experience?).
If you open a contact in the favorites and add a picture there, it becomes crisp... if you change it in the favorites by using the camera or the PocketOutlook interface it is ugly and compressed again...
Any solution for that?

After I added the favorite, I then selected Change Picture to get the clear picture. Once sync'd with Outlook, both the PC and Phone are very clear.
where are the pictures on my phone?

I add my pictures in my PC outlook and then sync to the TP.
After sync, pictures on TP do not look same quality as on PC.
I can not re-add the picture on TP, as I can not find them on the device.
Any knows where contact pictures are stored on TP after sync?
With more than 100 contact photos, however, I had the hope the is another solution to have crisp photos on TP without any manual work.

Good point that I forgot to mention...I did have to add a folder on my SD called "Outlook Contacts" to do it the way I did. I have 245 contacts with photos, so it did take some time. However, I only have 15 favorites, so that is the only ones I did this process with. Didn't take too long, but does require that step to get the pretty pic on the TP. Worth the effort. Once you load them in your favorites, just delete the folder (unless you need a hard reset, or cooked ROM installed. I kept my folder for when it all disappears, and have to redo it.
Somebody knows a good solution for the picture problem?

Read the above post...put the pictures on the device. After adding the favorite, go to "Menu", then select "Change Picture". Select the picture you moved to your device (or MicroSD), and it is as clear as the rest of the device.
yeah so far no faster way of doing this, but the good news is once u do this once, and sync, you're good to go

Yes there is a faster easier way!
This problem bugged me for a very long time. Until I used the free application called "Slide2View"
Found on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358187
If you view a photo in this app and select the 'Assign to Contact' option, the photo will be assigned and will not be affected when you sync with Outlook.
Don't ask me why this works (I am not technically minded) but I searched for a solution and after reading 100's of forum messages found this gem. It's also a very cool photo viewer!
After many re-syncs, my contact pictures are all unchanged!
This problem has been around for a long time and it seems like Outlook (and Outlook Mobile) tends to resize the pictures.
And don't edit the contacts in outlook or you have to reassign the pictures for the same HQ pictures again.
Is there anyway that i can extract/save the contact photo which i took using the phone camera while editing the contact profile?
I can't find the photo in the camera roll.
Understand that if i do a hard reset, the contact photo will be re-sync to my phone. Hence there must be a copy of it somewhere. Either in the cloud or my computer.
Where and how can i access and save this photo?
It's been some days that my phone's gallery gone crazy and all my thumbnails are wrong, when i open the photo it has the same thumbnail as the photo (example: thumbnail of me, i open it, picture of me) but the name of that picture is wrong in my gallery and when i send it via whatsapp, messenger... the picture the other person gets is the wrong one, i mean thumbnail and opened picture are the same but wrong ones, name and sent ones are the correct ones. I've copied my pictures on my pc and everything is fine, even with file explorer on my phone everything's ok, it's just my gallery. I tried to delete all app data, cache, the .thumbnail folder, used cleaning apps but nothing worked, is anything else i could do except from reseting my phone? Thanks in advance for replies.

Try updating the Gallery app from apkmirror.com
Might need to enable secure startup from settings then reboot the phone first if you get a package conflict error trying to install it
Edit: Solved. If anyone's in the same situation, what worked for me is searching for .thumbnail folders (make sure "show hidden files" or similar is enabled in your file browser), and deleting their content. Google photos will then recreate the thumbnails when you next open it.
Hello friends.
Ever since a few days, I've been having the strangest of problems with my pixel 4xl under android 10:
Basically, the thumbnails or previews of my pictures do not match the picture itself.
For example, if I want to send an image to a whatsapp contact, or attach one to an email I'm composing or whatever, the preview or thumbnail that I'm shown is that of a much older and long deleted image. Pressing the miniature instantly shows me the correct picture, but if I press the back button, I'm again presented with something that had nothing to do with that particular photo.
Hope this makes sense.
This happens both in the Google photos app and third party apps such as whatsapp.
The only step I can think of doing to correct it is deleting storage and cache of my Media Storage, but that didn't help.
Can anyone shed some light on the matter?
Best regards!
