I'm not sure that's possible. I just spent some time looking for it in contacts. This question might have to go to the original thread.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pechkin000:
I was wondering if anyone could help me understand this? After flashing A7 i looked at getprop values and they all seem to be from CM7/gingerbread. Just wondering if that's normal.

Having said this, here is my other question. On CM7 I had no problem installing a banking app from my bank from the market (TD Canada Trust), now it says its not compatible with my device, but all the values are basically the same as in CM7, what is it looking at to determine that its not a compatible device? Is there any way to change any values without breaking anything to get the app to install?

Any help or even pointing in the right direction would be appreciated...

I have had the same problem with a Geocaching Tool (C:GEO). Last night, i tried everything, what i have found in the internet, but nothing works.

After the half Night of searching a solution, i found something what has worked for me

Download the latest gapps (google apps) and do the following

extract from the actually gapps following files

/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml

/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar

And copy to sdcard root.

Then using the terminal emulator or ADB SHELL or any root explorer and copy it to the following locations:

com.google.android.maps.xml --> /system/etc/permissions/

com.google.android.maps.jar --> /system/framework/

Now reboot and you can install all apps from the market as before.

I was very happy, that i found this solution after a long night.

Hope this will help for the peoples with the same problem

Has anyone tried running the 7.5 kernel on A6?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim.:
Flash back to CM7?

I'm trying to get back to CM7 (from A7 w/ A7.5 captiviate kernel) but am getting an error when attempting to flash in recovery. Its basically says assert failed: followed by a whole wack of getProp() = "captiviate-like-strings" fails when the update is attempting to run.

So I attempted to load up odin to flash that way. But my computer wasn't recognizing my phone when I went into download mode. I can get the phone into Download mode, by holding on the volume down button and plugging in the USB cable ... but before it was by holding both volume up/down.

I had to install the drivers available on the ICS google code page to get my computer to recognize the device, but odin sill doesn't see it.

Any suggestions?

---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

okay i was able to finally get back to stock. I'm not going to say how i did it, because I wouldn't recommend the series of flashes i did to finally get ODIN to work!

whew!

Booting only to Recovery

After flashing ICS Beta1 with all the instructions the phone only boot on recovery even without the buttom combo, i dont know what i am doing wrong... I flash from Mosaic8 but i will try to flash CM7 and after ICS Beta1 to see what happen...

EDIT: Apparently flahsing from DarkCore is the problem but I flashed CM7 an then ICS Beta1 twice and thats it now I'm on ICS :D

Has anyone got High resolution contact photos working?

I'm using SyncMyPix (with the "best quality" option set) but I still end up with tiny 96x96 images all blown up to pixelly horridness.

I saw this post which suggest it... well, just works.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
all of my contacts pictures are pixellated.

annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lootes:
This is what I am curious about is the high res contact pics are meant to be at 256x256, correct me if I am wrong. But did Google set up Gmail contacts sync to account for this? Meaning, if I add a contact picture on my phone that is high res, will it sync to my gmail account, be converted to low res and then sent back to my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
I think that's what's happening, yeah- so you add a high res contact, then when it syncs it reduces it again.

To test, I just turned off contact syncing in accounts & sync, deleted picture cache in SyncMyPics and re-synced.

Now I have higher resolution images. Not brialliant though...

Gonna turn on sync and see if that breaks...

<wait>

Hmm, now they seem okay...

Not super high res but that may be the FB pics... some are pixelly though?

Errrr

I dunno :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr Doom:
How do you get Facebook pics synching? Ive never worked that out since I ditched Sense on my old Desire
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike freegan:
I swear to god, my phone picks the lowest res pic of all connected social media photos. Hah! Trollphone.

It sticks with the Google Contact photo over the others I think, so delete that and see if it switches to higher res ones from G+ etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShiroEd:
I set high res pictures to the contacts via the People app on the phone and they have synced back to my Google Contacts and they remain high res.

How do yuo guys get FB to sync. I've got Twitter, G+ and LinkedIN to connect with contacts but not FB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
FB itself isn't working due to the missing menu bug, although someone patched that - I've not tried it yet.

I'm using "SyncMyPix" (free app in the market) to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crin:
I also have this problem, I use syncmypix its a great apply but the only way to get high res is to turn off the crop 96px square option. This gives higher resolution pics in the people apply but means they are not square in the contact thumbnails which looks pretty shocking. I want hi-res in my people application and square thumbnails everywhere else too!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferris2375:
Has anyone figured out a way to get high resolution photos to display on an incoming call?

I deleted my contact photos because I couldn't stand the low resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] braingravyuk:
If your contact uses Google +1 you can get their profile picture from that, much clearer. However if you are relying on photos from Google contacts I would imagine you need to retake the photo again as someone has mentioned earlier, Google now allow 256x256px (still pants :( ) images instead of 96.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferris2375:
What if they don't have a Goolge + account? Can I make contact entry for them even if they don't?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] braingravyuk:
You can still make a Google contact instead but the image will only be 256x256px in size.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferris2375:
What determines the resolution of the contact photo? Say I take a high resolution photo and import it into Google, does it default to 256?

Why the hell can't I select a photo locally on my phone and opt not to have my online contact photo synced. grrr...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] braingravyuk:
Exactly! or even take space off your gmail allocation to store the high-res images... no, that's too logical so instead make them think they've got a hi-res photo when the user has just taken the photo, then sync the contact and give them a pants, degraded photo in exchange.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Are you sure?

I meant, are you really really sure?

Because, if you sync back with Google Contacts, you will get low resolution.

Thats what happen with my Nexus S running the latest 2.3.

Other users with GN can test this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] braingravyuk:
They do not remain hi-res, was one of the first things I did when I got the phone as it was one of the main annoyances with android for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
You can try jKalvins workaround. If it works, all you have to do is change a setting in Google contacts and the sync to low res pictures should stop.

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google Mobile/thread?tid=4fe466bb19e3f875&hl=en&start=44

It's from an apple group so no idea if it will work, but maybe still worth a try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
That wont work anymore, I read the whole thread.

I wish there is and app that we can use to replace contact photos all at once.

First we tell the app which image for each contact.

Then, one button click to replace all.

That would be a nice workaround AFTER synched.

Please someone make this kind of app, I will pay ... Big time!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielvago:
I used to do my syncing via SyncMyPix, but recently did a sync with Friendcaster (the great Facebook app). It has a contact pic sync option and you can choose HD.

After the sync the pictures seemed significantly sharper. It's worth a try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dailong:
For each contact create another same contact name but save on phone instead of saving to google contacts. Just exact same name with no other info except a picture from your phone camera or gallery. then save and link the two contacts. now your caller id will not be pixelated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adnan.makarevic:
hi,

question, i didnt use google contacts to manage my contacts on the phone. im having a exchange server at home and i sync with it, my mails, calendar, tasks and contacts.. ..but im having the same issue like you, the caller photos are very unsharp and i allways choose high resultion photos from my gallery on the phone to apply the pic to a contact.

so, what can i do to get the photo quallity better when i get a call in?

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coleburns:
Bloody hell!!!, sounds like it might work but it's damn near 2012 FFS. this shouldn't even be an issue. they can allocate you free space for 20k tracks but not contact images?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Anyone know to who or where we can request an update of Google Contacts? Asking to increase the resolution to 256x256. Same resolution as supported by ICS.

Or an option to not sync photo. That's also ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
This is probably the only bad thing about the Galaxy Nexus.. really disappointing to be honest that they didn't think this through :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vosszaa:
This is what I do as all my contacts are sync thru Gmail contacts list..

1. Remove all low-res picture from all of your contacts. Do this in Gmail not phone.

2. Let the phone sync. It now should remove all picture on phone as well

3. Put all your high-res contact pictures into the phone storage

4. Manually edit contact one by one by adding picture from your phone gallery

5. let it sync back to Gmail contact

6. Done
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbutters:

This!

Worked great for me. It is so sad that google sync does not just work correctly.... Can you imagine if the contacts during the ICS launch presentation looked like this? Google better fix this glaring issue quickly... so lame..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vosszaa:
I have over 200 contacts so I end up spending almost 2 hrs doing this. damn Google! lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
What if you sync again and again?

Does the photos transferred to GMAIL and converted to low resolution?

Then when you sync back, the low resolution will be transferred to the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vosszaa:
Nope, the high res images that u sync will stick on gmail, no matter how many time you resync. Just make sure you remove low res image first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winwiz:
I tried this and it worked fine until I flashed a new ROM and let google sync my contacts again. The only problem being that the high res images then became log res images again! So this method works fine as long as you do not reflash a ROM and resync via google
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackie_jagger:
So, do we have a solution yet? I mean I clearly remember Google emphasizing on HQ images in the contact app. The new FB app went live and yes, it seems like contact sync is still disabled.

Friendcaster did manage to sync but HQ photos aren't really HQ, they are still very pixelated. Is it true that I have to have friendcaster pro for HQ image sync?

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vosszaa:
Just follow my step above. I dont see any issue with mine. My HQ pictures still look pretty good to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackie_jagger:
It isn't really feasible for me, I have a vast contact list. Also the comment above mine says it doesn't stay if you reflash your rom !

I guess we are all waiting/looking for a full proof method.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbutters:
I did delete the low res photos, then synced the high res image from phone and it was working well, however now that I wiped my phone, when I sync now with gmail contacts the photos syncing back to me are low res.... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leyvatron:
Did you sync your gmail account with the new pics?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
Same here.

The only way I've found to keep the pictures between roms is to backup the contacts app using something like Titanium Backup.

When you flash a new rom, restore the app with data and it'll bring the high res photos back with it.

Still, it's a stupid oversight
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
I read in the GMAIL page on Google+ that Gmail Contacts has been updated. But not sure if high resolution photos is added. And I read couple of people complained over there.

https://plus.google.com/u/0/103345707817934461425/posts/UA6rpCZgqwq

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lootes:
This is true, however, if you wipe your phone (flashing a new rom) and then set up your google account again, low res pictures will come in to your phone. At least that is what happened to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kurokikaze:
Sync My Pix helped a little. They are less grainy than before but quality can still be much better...

Really disappointed that this doesn't just work flawlessly through Google sync... and wtf at not allowing me to use Facebook sync - have to use Friend Caster instead.

The only solution i have found is haxsync. disable facebook from syncing contacts and let haxsync do it. its really the only automatic way of getting high rez pictures right now unless you are on the stock jellybean rom like CM10.

Hi, I cannot figure out what I need to write in terminal emulator to gain root access to install cwm. I was hoping someone could post the exact command needed, I would appreciate it alot. I have tried searching but the generic commands i found on a different site didnt work. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Can you gain root from terminal emulator? First I have heard this. Why not just Odin one of the modded kernels?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
If you're just looking for the command to mount /system as read/write, you'll have to figure out what "device" is used for the mount. From the terminal, type:

mount

That will show you a list of things that are currently mounted. You'll see something like (not exactly):

/dev/block/stl9 /system rfs rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,nodiratime, uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0002,dm

ask=0002,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset =iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0

The part you're interested in is the part before "/system" and that is the block device used to mount your system partition. To mount it read/write, you type (based on this example's block device & based on the rfs vs. ext4 file system):

mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system

The -o part tells mount "here come the options" which are read/write & remount. The -t tells it the filesystem type (rfs or ext4, depends on if you have voodoo enabled). The next argument tells it the block device, then what mount point to use.

As for root, what Exodian said. You'll either have to flash a root enabled kernel or use SuperOneClick v2.2.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Yes. There is a $15 plan that they want you to add to use the service.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
So that means it didn't work on stock because I didn't have the plan, but on quicksense its supposed to be free right? Correct me if I'm wring
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
There is a method to get it working on stock, you just need to add a new APN

check the development section. there's a thread for it. I think the procedures is on top of page 4 (yes im lazy to link). But you would want to add the new apn after doing a factory reset.

quiksense, xboarder already including a working APN so it should work immediately

other roms, you should add the APN at the very beginning when flashing a new rom before turning on wifi tethering or calling.

people say it helps to delete the other APNs such as simple, tmobile us tmobile data... leave the tmobile mms of course.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
Mhm yeah I was using the hotspot yesterday and it worked like a charm, not to mention super fast!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] neoissuperman:
I am sorry. I figured it out. I had to make a new APN with no APN TYPE, but now it keeps going back to the old T-Mobile Data APN, any sugestion's?

Sent from something AMAZING!!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Deleting APN

Go back into the APN menu and select Tmobile Data one, then menu and delete.

This should keep the phone from switching back to that one.

Don't delete Tmobile MMS. Just the data.

Hope this helps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] neoissuperman:
Ok, so after all the ways to fo this, the easiest is clear out APN type and save. Don't worry about the circle for selection going away it's fine. I had 6 customer's come it since yesterday complaining about tethering not working, mytouch 4g, and sensation's and it seems there APN's have additional type's so i believe TMo is pushing new APN settings. Just my observation.
