I don't want to keep change picture one by one when every time it happened, any one know how to fix for good?

too lazy to find the posts for it but it has to do with syncing with Google, apparently it compresses your contact pics

I had observed the same thing with mine and i found out later the main reason behind that. Thanks to a different contact pic for that contact from the one in google. In this case you can go to people (contacts) select the contact and in the contact details click on the image and an option will open up. in this option you just need to select the image to be shown from which account. for example the image set from phone or google account or any other account that you have linked. Image using google account will be blurred. I am not sure if i have been of any help to you but you can check the same and confirm.
I was so pissed of with this linked contacts thing that i finally unlinked all of them as even after unchecking google from view option it displayed all the stuff from that account.
xnifex is right, it's been a problem long ago..only solution is to not sync it with google, but that is soo impractical. it's better to link them with facebook for htc sense

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this. I have Facebook syncing with my contacts and i also have another app doing the same thing. When Facebook syncs to my contacts it has that the latest post was something a week ago while my other app is more up to date and it shows that there was something 2 days ago. Manually running a sync for Facebook does not update it.
Anyone else seen this or know how I can force update the posts. I have already tried removing my Facebook account completely and readding it but that did not work

don't know what to tell you other than Facebook sync has always been notoriously bad on every android phone I've ever owned.
Does anyone else share in my frustration?
Often, I am notified to link contacts between my People list and my Facebook (official app) contacts as well as my Whatsapp contacts. This happens at least once a week, and at times, every other day.
I'll go into the Facebook app and all of the sudden will need to enter my password again. Within the hour, I'm notified of Facebook contacts that could potentially be linked with my people list. I link them all then save. You'd think that would be it, right? A couple days later, same password prompt, same contact link suggestions. The same thing occurs for Whatsapp, too. Both occur update app from the Play market or not and on stock and MikTouch 0.7.
It's a minor inconvenience but so annoying, as it seems like it's never really saving the link. Anyone else seeing this?

I remember months ago the facebook app threw phones into a constant sync, they would never stop syncing and never actually do so.
I don't use facebook, but had to troubleshoot for a user of my rom.
Facebook app is the most worthlessly coded POS app I've ever crawled through the code of, it makes little sense and has less coherency.
Using the app means subjecting yourself to it's problems, sorry for your troubles.

Is there any way to forcefully sync contact images?
Some of my contacts have put/updated their contact images but they are not being synced...
Also, they are coming in low quality even though I'm using JB...

Known "issue". Although JB supports high resolution contact pictures it syncs small ones. I personally use HaxSync to sync my contacts with their Facebook accounts to get high quality pictures. Not sure if there's a free/better way.
Use Facebook Contact Sync. Free in the Play Store.
I forgot to mention that I do not use Facebook.
The only contact images I have are the images set by the users.
Any other app or workaround you can think of?

Contact images sync & come if I flash my phone with any ROM and sync again...
Any way to do it without flashing?

Google just started to let JB users to sync 700x700 contact pics compared to the privious 90x90. I saw a post about this a couple days ago, just not sure where. I verify that higher quality pics now sync.

I could be wrong. But I'm pretty sure if you have Google sync enabled on your phone the high quality pics and any other contact info changed should sync. If it doesn't sync automatically, go into settings and sync contact.

Get the haxsync app.
I use Friendcaster (I use the pro version) to sync. Much better than the normal facebook app AND it syncs your contacts

Honestly? You're not going to like the answer, but you're better off spending the time it takes to move phone number information into Google Contacts. It's much more reliable and cross-platform-friendly than relying on Facebook.

Is there a way to make the Caller ID photos not blurry other then using HD Full Screen Caller ID app? I use Ubersync for facebook to update my contacts photos and information in my contacts but they all come out blurry.
I use haxsync which is pretty good and takes HD pictures from Facebook. There's also sync me but I haven't tried it.

The pics are super sharp and it also adds some cool features to call screen if you choose to use them. I just discovered this app a couple days ago when I realized that haxsync wasn't updated to work with kitkat.
I use UberSync for Facebook. I didn't know about sync.me until now and I can't compare them, but UberSync does its work pretty well.

Sync.me doesn't incorporate with contacts app, it's a standalone app, so I think haxsync it's a one-way solution, if ubersync doesn't sync with hd pics. Haxsync works with KitKat.
Sent from my Nexus 5
I used to use sync.me but personally I find haxsync much better. Also it syncs much more like calendars, status updates and the pictures seem better.

Am I the only one here that would have a contact list full of either random people, or dogs, or famous people if they sync'd their facebook friends profile pictures?
lol
I have manually added contact images since i went Nexus simply because i got sick of not seeing the actual person that was calling me....I'm a little OCD about stuff like that...so i manually went in and plucked High res images from Facebook for each contact, uploaded them, and they get sync'd across in nice crisp images now. I rarely add new contacts, but when i do, I just do it manually. it kinda sucks, but its the only way i can get an accurate picture that is the same every time that person calls me.
What about non Facebook people? I don't use Facebook for anything but I would still like HD pictures. Any ideas?

Seriously? We have to use a 3rd party for this??? What a pain. Had this with S3 and now S4. I find it hard to believe (call me naive) but why can't Samsung or Google, or Android or whoever simply make this little item work. All my FB synced contacts the photo is blurry.
