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

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:

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.
My technique for managing many photos:
download photos from my phone to to my computer then delete them from the phone,
crop, and edit on my computer
import only the best ones back to my phone.
When dealing with many photos, this is actually much faster then trying to edit and crop many photos on the phone.
The problem is, whenever I import photos to my phone from my computer, the gallery apps, including the stock Android gallery app, sort photos by the date modified or imported to my phone, not the date taken. So my photos taken last year will be sorted by the time I exported from my computer, not the time the photo was taken. Other than using Quick Pic does anyone have a way to fix this?
I'm using a Sony Xperia Z1 and a Nexus 7, and HTC One before that, and all of the native gallery apps had the same problem.
Is there an app that when you take a photo via camera, saves duplicate of this photo to any other map on the phone? For example if you take a photo of police officer, and he requests from you to delete the photo from main photos folder, but you still keep duplicate somewhere else?
After upgrade to OTA Oreo, my own contact photo cleared itself. Now I can only select a photo on device or take a new photo. I just want it to sync back with my Google profile photo that I see when I log into gmail, etc... on a computer. Any ideas how to have Contacts app or messages app pull down Google photo?
