Are you syncing your contacts with Google? If so, that's what's downgrading your contact picture quality. I don't know why, but that's what was causing my problem. Once I decided to sync my contacts only with the address book on my computer, the quality issue went away.

how do you sync contacts with address book on your computer?

Low resolution contact pictures

Low resolution contact pictures when syncing with Facebook. This especially occurs when using a stock or cyanogen mod build. HTC sense builds have good res pics when syncing...
Any possible fix? Its bugging me and seems like a fairly simple thing that Google should fix.

Same questions. Bumping.

Glad I don't have to make a thread

Bumping too. Weird that such a major issue has no solution apparantly.

Yo where my nerds at???
This fix should be cake

+1 this is quite an annoying bug. Can't find a solution yet

Lots of discussion about this in the past.

This has to be worked out by google as the contacts are synced with google server and resolution is cutdown terribly.

Wow I just checked out that link and it looks like this will never be fixed.

How hard would it be to mod the contacts app to support higher resolutions?

I manually did mine because Facebook never seems to stop running resulting in a battery killer so I freeze/unfreeze upon usage. may take awhile based on amount of contacts but no need for contact merging,no more low res photos and no more battery killing due to Fbook

I bought fbPhotoSync from the Market and used it to download high resolution photos for all of my contacts. Worked like a charm.

Contact pictures went blurred

I setup my contracts with Google account, some contacts have picture in it but after a while, those pictures become very blurry.

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

Caller ID photo blurry

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.

Does it sync with hd pic? 'cause the last time I checked, the result was not as good as haxsync.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

There is only one "small" problem... It's not possible to find haxsync on Play....

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.

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?

There's a problem with syncing..
HaxSync
I've unpublished HaxSync from Google Play for now until this gets resolved.
Sent from my Nexus 5

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.

Contact pics

I sold my note 3 yesterday and bought a nexus 5.
In the stock contact app I don't see pictures on the contacts.
On Samsung n HTC it use to merge FB and wapp pics and show as contact pics.
Is there a way to do it here? I've got the fb account set up and it's working.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

You need an app to do it, e.g. Haxsync:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync
Stock Android doesn't have the option to sync with Facebook contacts

HaxSync is blocked by Facebook at the moment. SyncMe is the better option. Its improved a lot recently.

I paid the money and it didn't work..luckily the refund option was still available.. Thank you.. I'll try that

Ah ok...
I may start using it again for birthdays then. Although Sync ME does seem better at the moment...

I would use it but it leaves an icon in my app drawer whereas Haxsync doesn't

Sometimes have to allow Haxsync to sync a few times at first, depends on how many contacts you have to sync (I only have 56 contacts on my phone). Personally, it's the best app I've used, been using it on my old phones (GNex, Nexus 4) and now my Nexus 5
