So I'd do this myself but haven't made the time to. This is more of a request / suggestion for an application. Basically every time you take a photo or a video the application automatically email's the file to any email's you entered into the application. I'm sure its possible since the photo bucket application can upload new photos automatically.
In case you are not aware of why this is useful, basically every photo and video service can accept emails for uploading. Like flickr, facebook, even youtube.
So the program should check the camera's default folder (which should be able to be set in the program) one for new videos and one for new photos. And then use two input fields one for email addresses for new photos and one for addresses for new videos, and then send an email (with some default tags, titles, etc, also able to be set in the program). Then of course you can go through the photos when you get home.
Anyhow if anyone wants to work on this or thinks its a good idea, let me know.
Can this finally mean the 5 year old Google *bug* is solved?

No more crappy resolution contact images for Google contacts? I can't wait to see incoming call photo to be displayed with proper pixel resolution.
Could someone check this on ICS? Maybe the contact image resolution specs are in the SDK?

"Large photos
Android now supports high resolution photos for contacts. Now, when you push a photo into a contact record, the system processes it into both a 96x96 thumbnail (as it has previously) and a 256x256 "display photo" that's stored in a new file-based photo store (the exact dimensions that the system chooses may vary in the future). You can add a large photo to a contact by putting a large photo in the usual PHOTO column of a data row, which the system will then process into the appropriate thumbnail and display photo records"

If you use facebook, Sync your contacts with Facebook For HTC Sense and you'll get high res display pictures.

Guys,
My Sensation XE will be arriving soon, so, no experience with Android yet.
The question is does HTC Sync actually sync high-res pictures with Outlook?

But how? I can't make it in contacts app. Even if I select high quality photo its pixalated in contacts list or call screen. Am I missing something here?
I always use Outlook to sync my contacts! On GB Roms they look fine but on ICS the pictures totaly blury and full of pixels.
EDIT: Just have tested it if htey are better when i make a new contact and add a new Picture, but no the photo is totaly blury and looks very very bad!
Many so called high res photos look like **** when you crop out a persons face btw. So don't crop too much.

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 just save pictures I find on the internet that I find pretty or interesting, but every time I upload it to Facebook, the cover is so blurry. Does anyone know how to make it any clearer? I have Amoyshare Photo Collage Maker Software if it is needed
I upload my images as PNGs, that usually reduces facebooks automatic compression
1. I've transferred a bunch of my pictures over to my Pixel, but some of the photos seem to be completely out of order. Is there any way to fix this? I'm assuming it's something with the metadata, but I'm far from an expert there... it's claiming all the photos are from "today". This is only in a few of my folders, my Instagram photos for instance seem to be in the proper order while others are a complete clusterf*ck.
2. Is it possible to curate what's in the main photo stream? I'm used to the main gallery on my previous phones being from the camera with the ability to have other folders. I'd rather not have dirty pictures showing up in my main stream, but it'd be nice to not have to use a third party gallery app.
3. I don't see notification counters on my apps like I did on my S6 Edge. Is that just a Pixel Launcher thing? Can that be changed?
Thanks
