Hi all,
I'm running Insertcoin 2.7 on my m7.
I can't figure out how to view cloud storage photos through the htc gallery app. Is this a limitation of the rom? I can even find a settings option in the gallery app, or any gallery related to online photos.
I'm looking to view photos from 'google photos' and my accounts are linked and syncing.
Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,
I'm wondering on how to get rid of these blurry Facebook-linked photos in the htc sense contact widget. Normal contact images synced from Outlook don't have this problem but those who are automatically linked from facebook are blurry ans at low resolution.
Anyway, how do I get quality facebook contact photos in the widget and incall-screen?
Cheers!

This is an old issue with android.
once your contacts are synced with your google account, they will get blurry. Try this, Remove your facebook account, move all the contacts from Google to Phone, and resync with facebook.
Sync your contacts with "Facebook For HTC Sense" not "Facebook".
That'll fix it

This
'Facebook for HTC Sense' has changed in the 2.3.5 ROM and doesn't behave in the same way as it used to. It links to Facebook like an app now and Facebook asks your permission to have access like any other app trying to connect to Facebook.
When you select to sync contacts with the Facebook app 'Facebook for HTC Sense' then kicks in - bit annoying tbh
Yeah its really cap, when someone calls you just get a blurry picture. Any alternatives?

Again, issue with 2.3.5 ROM - I've got the same issue. I'm going to try something this evening so will let you know if it works
Ive solved it, well for me anyway. I just keep syncing the accounts and they gradually update to htc sense photos nice and clear

Is there any solution for the problem yet??
Man stop Facebook from syncing your contacts.
Install friendcaster pro and go to sync menu, tick sync contacts and sync high resolution pics!

I'm having the same issues. Used to do the "Facebook for htc sense" thing, but now in Sence 3.5 the option doesn't exist!
I hate facebook for htc sense. Gonna try friendcaster, not the pro version though, **** paying.
By the way I installed ARHD 4.1 the other day and the problem was gone.
Hi,
Looks like it is fixed for me now, sense 3.5
Method 1
Sign in to FriendStream widget with facebook, it will ask you to sync, choose sync with all contacts.
Will take some time to refresh all, after you get clear contact pictures.
If you cant sign in to FriendStream widget separately from facebook app, heres Method 2 that confirmed to work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20392011&postcount=22 - thanks to the_scotsman
Hope this help and will work for some one else!
You sense 3.5 Rom? If so been looking for one and haven't had any luck. So I've reverted back to sense 3
P.s this should be in Q & A

What I've done:
Just sign in to FriendStream, and sync all contacts. (and press somewhere to force sync in settings or on some contact there is an option to update)
All photos in contacts now clear for me NOT blurred or stretched !!
Hope this help and will work for some one else!

What, I don't get what you are trying to say....it would be nice if you could elaborate?
Old news but congrats.. Basically he's saying that on order to get clearer contact photos you need to sync your phone with the friendstream app. The regular Facebook app syncs the photos with really low quality.

I think you need to go into Accounts & Sync in the phone settings and add specifically 'Facebook for HTC Sense,' then it should work.

Ok I signed into facebook of a fresh Rom install using friend stream widget ..
Still no facebook for HTC sense in accounts and sync and still blurry contact pictured... What am I doing wrong?
I click on friend stream widget, it comes up with accounts to sign into, I choose Facebook, Facebook for android comes up, then I sign in and it sais authorize Facebook for HTC sense but that pops up and disappears without me authorizing anything...is the same happening for you or can you authorize it?

Same here...
"Facebook for Sense" on Sense 3.5 ROMs is integrated with Facebook, which is why you'll only see Facebook in the sync menu. Maybe an early Sense 3.5 ROM had Facebook for Sense added, but its not needed.
All my contact images are sharp when I sync using the Facebook app. I don't use Friendstream at all.

Well your a lucky Scotsman then, mine are blurry as hell, I can't use sense 3.5 roms because when someone calls me it makes me want to throw up.
To add on my post, surely there must be a way to unseperate them?

Now I see that this thread is about useless...too bad.
Have you tryed to remove stock facebook app? NOT friendstream!

After signing in to it, sense will ask yo to sync facebook with contacts, you choose sync all. And this will update contact pictures, atleast it did this for me an other peaple here
Let us know ho you go there!

I tried this. Uninstalled Facebook app. But when I click on Facebook account in Friend Stream settings, nothign happens. There's no icon next to it either, so I think it needs facebook installed for it to work?
EDIT: Yep, I installed Facebook app again, and now I can sign into FB using Friend Stream.
How do I get my camera uploads able to be viewed in the gallery or all my other images stored on dropbox?
Use ES File Explorer, add your Dropbox as a network drive, then you can browse the folder with the ES Gallery app (Maybe also the stock gallery app, I haven't checked because I don't use it)

Ya but when you first run the setup utility, HTC tells you that you can auto upload cam images and view them in the gallery. They definitely don't expect everyone to do that.

So I see where you can click Albums -> DropBox and I get the API access request which I accept, but then Gallery force closes. ARGH
Oh, I didn't know about that feature. Although not much of a feature, since I get to exactly the same stage as you before it force closes.
Does this work for anyone?
BUMP...........
You can enable the automatic upload in dropbox' app settings.

That doesn't answer the question at all....
It works properly for me. The Dropbox app automatically uploads my camera shots and video onto their severs. The HTC Gallery app lets me select my Dropbox folders under the Albums drop down menu. Once selected, I can browse and view whatever.

I deleted the included galley and video app from cleanrom 4.2 because I prefer gallery 1.1 and mx player. Now I have no association with messaging or email. If I try to add attachment it shows the old apps and does nothing when clicked. Also I have no messaging option if I go into gallery and click share, only email, Facebook, etc. Can anyone help me figure this out without having to reinstall original apps?

Is there any way for the Gallery to show Facebook albums in the Gallery? The app is installed but the sync settings only show contact settings.
Thanks

Yeah Quickpic is really good. But I don't think it can show you virtual shots taken with the camera.
