[Q] Contact pictures blurry? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Mine are still very blurry. I thought with the update to gmail and android they fixed the 96x96 contact picture size limit. I tried adding a high rez pic to a contact in gmail and waited for my phone to sync it and the contact pic on my phone is still super grainy. I tried adding a new photo to a contact without a pic and it still came down to my phone blurry, but the pic in gmail is crisp. Is there a fix for this other than an app or assigning the pics to contacts on the phone manually?

I've noticed this in all Sense ROMs, but everything seems to work fine on AOSP based ROMs. Which are you on?

I'm on Sense.
update:
Seems to be Sense related. If I manually assign a nice picture to a contact from the phone it stays nice even after syncing with gmail. If I do anything with the picture in gmail it changes it on my phone to a crappy pic. Must be a Sense bug since every other post about it being fixed the user is on AOSP.

[APP] Cooliris 3D Gallery Froyo Port FULL 8MP Support

Cooliris 3D Gallery Froyo Port FULL 8MP Support
This is the new Cooliris 3D Gallery that supports 24bit color and the full resolution on your camera. It was ported by someone from a Froyo build. Enjoy.
It world thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this upgrade.
Can't share pics via picture message.
thanks, but it seen like little bit lagging.
Yeah mine lags as well.

it seem as though when I zoom in on a photo (8MP) taken with the htc camera app, and viewed with photos app, the pic quality is better when I zoom all the way in compared to this apk. It was more distorted with this apk...
I used a photo of my car near the lawn and when I viewed the photo in full zoom, the blades of grass were sharper with photos app, than this gallery apk.
anyone knows why?
It's a pretty cool app but the pics are obviously not in 24 bits
It's not from the screen, I can get pretty good colors gradation if I stay in 480x800 on my Desire, but with this froyo app all of them sucks, I have only 30 steps of greys between black and white ! I think it's not 16 but 12 bits colors or worse !... Seriously, in 2010, android looks ridiculous with that...
The other version was better, allowed picking up other outside pics (picasa) and seems a lot faster.
I don't bother or use 8mb pic's since I use them for web work and 8mb images are way too large for that, so that part doesn't matter much.
This works on EVO. Very nice.
When will there be a version of the 3D gallery that can see my Incredible's internal storage?? (where I default save my new pics and video)
It works great on my Evo. How do i integrate Picasa web albums to it? I dont see any option. Please let me know where to enter picasa login details to sync webalbums.
Thanks.

In my experience, the 3D Gallery requests access to your Google account after it is installed and run for the first time. You will get a message in your notifications After you grant it access, it fetches all of your Picasa albums.

Same issue here.
New
Hi,
OK I'm new here. How do I install this?
Hi,
Thanks for this one ^^.
Is there a way to make it as the default Gallery on HTC Desire ?
I want it to open when I click on the bottom right corner in the camera app.
Samsung Captivate
Anyone know if this will work on the SGS Captivate?
It's not working for me.
I cant seem to get this installed on my evo post a .zip?
Does anyone have a modded HTCCamera.apk to make use of the 3D Gallery?
Is there a new version of Cooliris 3D that could be ported out of Froyo?

Blurry MMS

When I send an MMS, it doesn't appear to be resizing the pics, I have it set to 600 in settings, yet the pics that are sent are much blurrier and more pixelated than the originals. Is there something I'm not doing? I would like to send the exact picture. Even before I send the pic, when I preview it, it's much blurrier.
Apparently, even if your mms image is no where near 600, the default messages app still resizes the pic, and you have to install a third party app to send the pic in it's original resolution. That sucks. The messages app should only resize it if it's larger than the assigned limit.

Hax sync

Hey I'm wondering how to fix this haxsync issue or is it just the app. A lot of my picture syncs are blurry and low res even though I checked "force redownload". When I manually go into the settings and into contacts its blurry but after I click the crop button it re downloads a high resolution picture. I don't wanna do this for EVERYTHING contact... Probably hard to see but the first pic is very low res. Idk why the full size photo wouldn't upload

Same here, it was working fine few days ago..
Why does nobody check the official FB page before creating new threads? https://www.facebook.com/HaxSync/posts/430832546964821

Picture size when receiving a call?

Hi
I have used UberSync to import pictures from Facebook to my phones contacts.
When I receive a phone call is the picture meant to take up the entire screen (Like the album cover would on the lock screen) because at the moment its a small rectangle at the top (takes up about 1/4 to a 1/3 of the screen).
thanks
Have you tried turning off crop in sync settings? That might work or the app may need updating in which case message the dev.
yh tried that now, selected max supported and its the same. how do you guys receiving calls screens show with the picture?
ok just checked out the official android website ... thats how its meant to be. would of looked nicer with a bigger pic

Camera color correction settings

Hello,
Today i purchased a Google Pixel 2 XL 64GB model. I was a proud owner of the Google Pixel XL.
There is one thing bugging me on the 2 XL. Whenever i take photos using the stock camera app with the front facing camera the lighting corrects in such a weird way so photos look really weird.
This also happens with other apps like Snapchat and Instagram.
Does anyone know if i can turn off color correction for just the camera or something?
Thanks in advance!
Please upload an example of your issue.

Please see the YouTube link below - I believe they address the issue of pics taken vs. pics viewed via phone display vs. pics viewed via Instagram/Snapchat. This critique is towards the end of video

Color correction
The video didnt come close to the actual problem im having.
For example when i try to make a selfie using snapchat or instagram, before i take the picture my face has pale natural color which is perfect. when i took the picture and look it up in my Photo gallery it just looks awful.
My skin color turned greyish. This has nothing to do with the lighting in the area im in. Ive tried many different areas when taking pictures and they all result in the same weird greyish color
Pics or it didn't happen...
There is some known issue's with Pixel 2 and will be fixed by releasing patch and this would be a permanent solution.
Take a picture with hdr+ off and see if there any difference.
Here are some examples
This one is a picture before it has actually been taken, so its a preview
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1C_AJVL93j52oSQ-5N9bIk2fvW4cuMqZOYQ
This is the actual saved picture
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1G2KVE_I0oeCKC9lp4hNHzo6YfhhWlshing
As you can see it has some difference and the saved picture just looks worse.
Another example.

Did you reboot? This is, I think, the way it works.
The Visual Core you enabled doesn't work for the viewfinder preview in non-stock-camera apps, and I'm not sure it ever will.
Either turn hdr off in these apps if you prefer the blown-out look, or use the stock app and add to instagram app

I have no idea how to turn off hdr off for specified apps like instagram or snapchat
I honestly don't see the issue in your samples. The only thing I noticed is that you're using snap chat which takes terrible low resolution photos. That night be one reason why the image looks so bad.
its a problem of snapchat, try taking pic in instagram with pixel core on , instagram, facebook,twitter take awesome photos but snapchat its a trash
