So i was taking some photos to associate with one of my contacts, took 3 photos, associated one of them to the contact, and saw that i needed to rotate one of them, so i went to HTC Album to rotate it, like i didn't need two of the photos, i begun to delete it, but when i deleted the first one the screen didn't fade out to the next photo (as it usually happens when i delete a photo), and after being black for a second or two, it said: "Jpeg not avalaible" or something like that. i touched the screen and chose to go back to the album, and puff, the majority of the photos (i couldn't find anything relating the deleted photos) were deleted... My HTC Album gets it's photos from My Documents and from DCIM folder in Storage Card, and i would say that around >100 photos and a lot of videos were erased (yes, videos doesn't appear in HTC Album, but it deleted them too), the strange thing it's that some photos and videos (really few) didn't get deleted... Another really strange thing it's that the photo that i associated with the contact still appears associated to it (in the Touchflow), but i can't find that photo? So the contact has a photo that doesn't exist? How it's that possible?
Or maybe the photos didn't get deleted and went to some "hidden" folder? I searched everywhere - temp folder and stuff, but nothing came up...
Yesterday i installed a fix from HTC site, because of a photo quality issue in the Cruise/Polaris...could it have something with it?
Any help?
TIA
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.
I need to organise my photos. The way my camera app works is that it just uses the next available number (e.g. photo0001 photo0002 photo0003, etc) and just remembers the next number to use.
The issue with this is when you go back and delete photos, it leaves a blank "slot" (e.g. photo0008 photo0010 photo0011 photo0015, photos 9, 12, 13, and 14 were deleted), and if you ever reset your phone, the camera forgets and starts over from 0001, sees that number is already taken, and uses the next available number.
This results in your photos being in the correct order if you go by date taken, but a complete mess up you go by filename. I plan to fix this by using a mass-renamer that will rename them in order of date taken.
Issue with that is, I have no idea how Google Photos will handle this. It's suddenly going to see thousands of photos that are different from the version stored online (because their filenames now are different) and bundled of new photos which didn't exist before because they are existing photos that had their filename changed to one that wasn't in use before.
Will Google Photos be able to tell by performing some sort of visual check or using some sort of hash/checksum? Or is it just going to turn my album into a mess? What would be the best way to deal with this? I could turn off photo syncing, delete everything saved online, then re-enable it after I rename them, but that would mean I would have to re-upload all my photos and videos, my 64gb card is almost full and I am upgrading to 128, that would be a LOT of data to re-upload.
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!
