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!

Hi!
I deleted the file for the photo contact from my 'My Pictures' folder, did a soft reset but the photo still appears under the contact name
Anyway to remove that photo now?
Thanks
It's under \My Documents\Photo Contacts\
Try to find this folder either under your my device or storage card.
I got confused after re-read your question. Do you mean default photo shows on dialer or Photo Contacts software?
My answer was for Photo Contacts. It you are asking for the other one. Try to lauch Contact and remove pic. from any contact.

Hi Staroip
Thanks but the photo still remains in the default contact base even after deleting the photo in My Documents\Photo Contacts\ and soft reset
:roll:
Hi
Does anyone know how do delete all contact's photos-images at once in VitoFuncontact program?
I case you want to save space, or decide to show only names, it is
extremely tedious to delete one by one all of them. I tried to find
the folder were this images were stored but couldn't. Not even know if they
are stored as images or in some kind of compressed way...
Thanks
try asking at the vito website? They may be able to tell you best
I already did. Thanks for the great help.
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.
Somehow, I have folders with photos on my PC, which have synced to Skydrive photos, which are now synced to my WP7 (Focus). I wish to discontinue this. How do I remove synced photo folders from Skydrive?
Also, when I open “Pictures” on my WP7, the device seems to randomly pick photos to display as wallpaper. I don’t want this to happen with certain folders. Is there a way to exclude specific photo folders on my device to be used as wallpaper in “Pictures”?
Thanks,
Dave
To remove the skydrive pictures, you need to login to your live account (live.com).
for the second query, go to the pictures hub and long tap on the top left where it says pictures. you will get 2 options, change background and change it for me. choose the picture you like in change background
Awesome! This will flat-out work to stop the “Pictures” app from using photos not of my choosing as wallpaper. The pictures in question however are not Skydrive photos, but reside in folders I have synced via Zune. I would like to be able to select specific folders from which wallpaper could not be selected, but this is certainly a solution to my dilemma.
I actually desire to remove all Skydrive photo folders from Skydrive and thus, my WP7, but I can’t figure out how to do this.
Thank you for your help,
Dave
I'm guessing that you want to remove the pictures that you synced to skydrive using your phone:? If so, you can logon to skydrive.live.com and remove them

No Sir, not so much. I want to remove all of my photo folders from Skydrive. I don’t want the folders to show-up in my Skydrive. More importantly, I don’t want any folders entitled “from windows live” to show-up when I go to “Pictures” on my WP7. It makes absolutely no difference to me if I achieve this using my lap-top or my WP7. I wish to use only Zune to sync photos to my WP7.
Thanks,
Dave

Hello,
I dont think you can remove the folders saying Skydrive camera roll and "from windows live"..
I think Camera roll is a default. I want to remove the photo folders I have added to Skydrive.
Thanks

Photos from PC
I'm not sure if this discussion is finished but here is my experience. Whenever I view photos on my PC and then later do a sync of my WP 7 phone all the photos in the directory I was looking at sync to the phone. Why? Then I try to delete them off the phone and they delete from my PC--aaaah
Same problem i deleted all photos on windows live/skydrive account, but the album still with the same pictures in the phone...
When I send a pic through text, that same pic would get saved in the gallery. If I send the same pic to 5 different people, that same pic would get duplicated and saved 5 times in my gallery. How do I terminate that? TIA

I've noticed this since the note 3.
I just use SD maid to remove duplicate files and keep the oldest.
I finally figured this "problem" out. When you share pics it moves them into a separate folder and duplicates it. Somewhere, you can look up all the pics shared between you and another person. What I do is just drop down albums to look at the camera album instead of all pics by time.
