First off am running StarDroid 3.2.1 I don't think it's rom related but user related
I have added pictures of 2 people. They do show up in the phone when I edit the contact. They also show up online when I hover over the contacts name. However they won't show up in the people app or the phone dialer when I scroll to them.I get those grey silhouettes. I do however have one picture visible in there as that contact is linked to a google+ account and that person has picture in there profile.
I do have to say searched the forum for this and came up with this path /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files it does have the thumbnails for the pictures of the google+ people but not of the non google+ people. The pics that are in my gallery are the ones not showing up.
Am I do something wrong? I thought by editing the contact and adding a picture it would show up in the people app and in the dialer. I haven't tested any other functionality of have a picture added to a contact
Also want to add that the pics that I used from the gallery do show up in the people widget when added to a home screem.
Well after google searching and looking on other forums I finally found my answer
"Go to the Linked icon (upper right corner), then press the menu button. It will give you the option to select contact photo. Click it and it will show the photo options."
I then selected the photo cropped it to what I wanted and I was good to go.

Simply take the contacts photo and change the resolution to 640x480 then move it to your Fuze and change the contact's photo and you're set. No more blurry photos. Check it out: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=920
You don't even need to resize the photos, just use the original resolution and change the contact pic from within TF3D.
If you set it using the contacts app, then they appear blurry in TF3D, but if you set it from within the menu in TF3D, then they won't be blurry.
you're right...it's a huge difference.
Awesome! Thanks
I believe if you use Album or S2V to set a picture to a contact, it also gives a clear contact pic.
How do you get the photos to show up? I had photos showing but now the contact screen just shows "add favorite". Is there some setting to change?
someone should come up with a simpler way to do this.. like automatically from a computer with ur old photos.
Hi,
I hope I'm in the right section, but Q&A sounded just about right for this:
When I'm lookin at a contact of mine, there's a tab called "Album" at the bottom of the screen. I click it, there are no images in it. I checked if I could "share" an image to the contact's album but no.
Is there any way to add photos to a contact specific album, or is this reserved for facebook/other albums? I think I can remember that back when I used facebook, there were images displayed the contact posted online...
Thanks for your help.
RE: GMAIL, HANGOUT, MESSAGES, CONTACTS irritating design decisions
I was using Google Hangouts but am fed up of the way it hides the last message of a thread when the keyboard comes up. If i try and drag the message thread upwards to see what's obscured by the keyboard the keyboard itself then disappears and I'm back to square one.
I've looked briefly at the android default messages app and that's even worse. The valuable screen real estate is eaten up by a left pane when displaying a message thread. Yes you can minimise the pane by dragging left but then you find the messages don't resize to use the screen real estate you've just freed up!
Can anyone recommend a decent messaging app please?
PS Actually the default contacts app does the same, I can't seem to find a way to see a contact, full screen, so a sizeable portion of the screen is taken up by the pane containing a list of your contacts.
PS Also I've just remembered Gmail does the same. When you put your tablet in a landscape position when viewing an email you would expect to see your email full screen. No it squashes your email slightly and gives you an extra pane to view your list of emails without giving you the option to change this.
Does this p|ss anyone else off?
Is there a way to change the generic picture in your Samsung contact profile against one of yourself?
Thanks,

Open the profile
Click Edit
Click the "-" in the upper right of the stock pic
The camera will open and you can take a selfie, or you can click the pic icon and select one from your gallery
If its stuck like mine was, you have to go into settings. Then at the very top right there should be an icon that looks like your current profile picture, or a silhouette style icon. Click that, then click the icon in the middle that is 'obviously' a spot for a profile picture, and select to either take a photo or choose a picture. You won't be able to use the 'neat' images they have in the contacts app when you try to change it via that route. But hey, at least it changes it all. I can't change my picture from the contacts app for some reason... it just never saves. you click 'save' and nothing happens, and even if you press back and hit 'save' it still doesn't do anything. Sometimes it even degrades the quality of the picture to make it all blocky, but still doesn't actually save anything...
I have a question- I have a mashup of contact pictures and letters on my s9 plus. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to change all of my contacts pictures according to the theme that I've downloaded. Can that be done? Default contact pics that are theme specific?
When I open the Contacts app on my Galaxy S8+, next to my name is a generic picture of an elk (I think). When I select the contact, I see the same picture at the top of the screen, as well as all of the contact information. When I select EDIT, instead of the picture of the elk, the picture displayed is the picture associated with my Google Gmail account.
Is there any way to change that picture of the elk to a more personal picture?
Thank you.
U edit profile for that contact?
