Running Android 10. I just changed a contact photo to a high resolution image. About a min later they called me, and their caller ID showed a low resolution version of that image. How do I keep the high resolution images for contacts?
I have same issue android 10 stable...
May the power of Oneplus 7 Pro be with you
the problem appeared with Android 10. On Pie it was a high resolution picture.
Good to know it's not just me. I spent what felt like a few hours trying to figure this out yesterday
something interesting....if you install the google contacts app, look at the contact within the app. at first the pic is low res then it seems to download a high res image. after that the contact pics within the oneplus contacts app are high res

Dude, thanks for this post! I was looking everywhere and no one had a particular answer that worked!
In my case, I have a Galaxy S10+ and the Samsung Contacts app wasn't downloading the pics in HD, once I installed the Contacts app from Google, it did downloaded the high resolution image and I went back to Samsung Contacts and all pics were in high resolution as well!
Thank you so much!

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
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.
I notice full 2560 width images render very slow on the 12.2 in the gallery app.
They 1st appear at a very low resolution then slowly start sharpening.
Is this a 12.2 issue , gallery issue ? Any image viewer apps that show images instantly in full Res?
Here's a link to some 2560 width test images if you want to save and check. ..

Both test images show instantaneously in Galley on my Note Pro. (Ditto other high res images I'm using as desktops).
I would try clearing the cache in the gallery app. Also, are you loading images from an SD card or internal memory?
Otherwise I would recommend QuickPic. The first thing I do with any device is replace gallery with QP. Its much better. (Also I hate that gallery wants to display every random image on the device in its own directory, so its always a big mess, whereas with QuickPic you can easily exclude entire directory paths and only see relevant media directories.) Plus in general, its faster.
I notice rendering taking place when viewing my high resolution pictures such as those taken by my dslr. The image pops up instantaneously but sharpens gradually from top to bottom, left to right.

Same result with quick pic.
Took a screen shot with home+power , image renders very slow as muzzy996 mentions in both gallery and Quick pic?
Hmmm...
Yeah I see it with screencaps, same as described. Now I notice it on other photos as well, but less extreme and faster to fully render. I haven't tried DSLR photos yet.
I notice the same effect on my Note 3, but I have to look close to really notice it.
Went to a local store tried taking / viewing Home+Power screen shots on all current Samsung tablet models.
All show the same very slow rendering of images. That was the Note 12.2, Note 2014 10.1, TabPro 8.4 and 10.1.
Tried the same on an Asus tablet and iPad air both render images instantly.
It's not just the gallery app, as photos and even quickpic show the same lag .
Only workaround I found is to view images in a browser, file:///storage/emulated/0/dcim/
I'm surprised this is not a widely mentioned concern?
My gallery renders images (internal memory and SD card) incredibly slowly as well. The interface also becomes unresponsive. I hope they have a software update in the works. This shouldn't be the case with a $750 tablet.
I'm not holding my breath for a software fix for this. Even the gallery app on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 running ICS (Android 4.0.4) has the same issue.

Just found an app that loads full 2560 width images quickly...
It's called Photo Gallery by pickwick santa.
Has some ads but when it works looks interesting.
If anyone finds any replacement gallery apps that display full res images fast please post...
Just Pictures displays really fast.
I also like that it excludes directories easily as well.

Long press task button for settings. Display settings/ uncheck increase brightness in fullscreen.

Thanks, missed that, had looked at setting in full screen mode.
Looks like a nice app.
Couple small things ...
Noticed pinch zoom does not work?
Does not seem to be a way to show images at the pixel level if they are smaller or larger than 2560 wide?

Yes this is unbelievable. My brother and I both do a lot of photography. He likes Apple stuff, I don't. But what pisses me off is that his iPad goes immediately to the pictures. My Samsung Note Pro 12.2, with a lot of pictures and albums, some internal some on SD, has a black screen for 20 SECONDS before pictures show up after opening the gallery.
Yeah, nice hardware. Now please, some clever software.
Use Quickpic. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder
Nobody in their right mind voluntarily uses the Stock Gallery with more than 50 High Def images. I'm a photographer, just opening stock gallery is enough to freeze the entire device. Quickpic has no such issues. (And has a lot more features. And the option to exclude folder.)

It appears that you are right. I accidentally assumed that the stock stuff on this pricey thing was gonna be fine. I will install the other apps mentioned in this thread and try them out.
What I do like tho, not as a photographer, but as a consumer, is the facebook/flickr/social albums in the stock gallery. If only they had one clever developer that knew how to actually pre-cache the albums.
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

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

Hi everybody
Do you have the same issue like me: sometimes the rendering or images processing is too bad on my mi note 10...i mean it's like a little blur effect and poor quality
Not on images taken by the camera but images and pictures like wallpapers downloaded, images on internet sites, twitter, Facebook etc...
IS it a known issue or just my device
Mi note 10 global 11.0.12
I dont really get what exactly is your problem. I can download picture and quality is just fine.

An exemple from twitter
That's an issue with the quality of the picture itself, not the phone. Facebook had the worse picture quality out there
can you go to google, download any full HD wallpaper and put it here ?
