I haven't yet tried it on this device, but HD Contacts was a good workaround for this on the last couple devices I had this issue on: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jgarrison.hdcontacts

I can't recall where I read this, but I think this issue is resolved across the board in 4.3 as well.

Found a weird solution.... I starred all contacts... deleted cache and data of contacts app --> all pics in HD....

really weird.... Google...FIX IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazie1:
Is their any other work arounds, I tried the starring all contacts but it didn't work
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yyz123:
It's really weird, all the contacts on my phone that I had starred were all in high quality, I never realized this until you mentioned your fix.

However, when I tried to star contacts and then delete cache/data in the contacts app, it didn't seem to change anything. :(

EDIT: IT WORKS!

Missed one step...

1) Star Contacts

2) Settings > Sync (this is the step that helped me ensure all contacts will sync with high-res photos).

3) Clear Cache/Data in Contacts App (I also cleared Contacts Data App)

4) Sync all your contacts back in and you got your high quality pictures

EDIT EDIT:

Make sure you clear cache/data in both Contacts App and Contacts Data. When I only cleared Contacts App, half the photos were still low-res.

When I cleared both apps and then synced, all photos were high quality.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazie1:
So step 2 your supposed to uncheck sync or make sure its checked?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yyz123:
Sorry if I was unclear, so if I go into Phone > Contacts > Settings (this is where you click "Sync Now") to make sure everything is synced before deleting all contacts data.

Try HaxSync in market
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seth4u:
I have noticed the same problem. Is there a solution other than getting images from Facebook or starring every single contact and clearing cache (that would drive me crazy)?

On my Galaxy Nexus using the standard contacts app all contact images are first low res after a new set up but after opening a contact for the first time the high res image is loaded.

On my G2 only the starred contacts have a high res picture while all others are low res.

Can I somehow install the AOSP contacts app to let it load the pictures or is there another work around?

I tried to flash liquid rom (asop rom) and my phone wouldnt boot up. I used this thread to restore back to stock. When I booted it up I used this thread to root/unlock. When I rooted and flashed touch recovery (via GOO.im app) and tried to install XYZ ROM it keeps popping up a message "Software not authorized by Verizon. Please take phone to nearest store.". I tried twice and gave up and have the phone on stock and took all the verizon updates. Anyone know how I can flash custom ROM's again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Odin install a stock Rom.

Root again with casual. Same steps.

Then download ez unlock version 1.2, install on rom. Hit unlock.

Then you can flash roms again.

At soft reset, I'm getting like 25mb program and 20mb storage memory, but the program memory start dropping drasitcly soon after. Is there anyway to manage the storage/program memory ratio like in WM2003SE?

After some normal use, my program memory drops to around 14mb and some apps (Skype) wouldn't start, meantime, I have 19mb of untouched storage sitting there doing nothing... I can't believe M$ removed the ability for the user to manage the memory usage, is there any registry trick that you can divide up the % of memory for program and storage?? Please help!!

p.s. I already have all my programs installed on the SD, and by normal use, I meant phone calls, SMS, calendar etc.. nothing major...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gembe11:
[Q] Need help on my Nexus 7 (boot loop & need help recovering music/pictures UROOTED)

Okay so heres the story, i let my Nexus 7 run out of battery completely so once i had my charger i connected it and let it charge fully (took around 4 hours) i then tried turning it on regularly, it got through the "Google" logo and past the "Nexus" logo i thought all was well and dandy but then about 10 seconds later it restarted out of nowhere. It kept doing this over and over so i simply went to safe mode and turned it off. preferably i would like to find a way to fix the issue and have my nexus 7 running back to normal or worse case scenerio i would have to factory reset itr in which case i really want to save my music and pictures Ive looked online and tried everything (going to safe mode by pressing volume down and power button and messing around with the options like restarting bootloader and going into recover mode and clearing system cache but no help. and even diconnecting the actual battery cable from inside and reconnecting it). Then i researched more and got an idea of downloading a rootkit but i realized its no use to me b/c i never enabled debugging or developer options :/ Can anyone help me to either A.) find a solution that wont cause me to factory reset my device or B.) If i do have to factory reset my device help me find a way to backup my music/pictures (again i never enabled developer options or enabled usb debugging). Any help is greatly and tremendously appreciated.

Thanks,

So today I was sitting and I felt my pocket was hot. It was my phone, and it was ridiculously hot! I quickly shut it down via system, and let it cool down. I tried to turn it on but it won't. and I also tried charging it as well. I called HTC and they told me to re calibrate the battery, but that didn't do anything. the repair is $120 dollars and probably a few weeks without a phone. What should I do?

do you think it will turn on again when I replace the battery?
[HTC One S] tivofool:
I have no idea if it will turn on. Sorry. (my gut says probably)

I guess it depends on how hot the battery actually got and if it affected the other components.
[HTC One S] miniAndroidian:
I would repare it and buy a cheap Nokia-Phone for 20 bucks for the time you dont have your One S. I paid more than 160$ for a new display for my HTC Wildfire wich has actually the worst display on the market.

If you wont let it repair by HTC you can buy a battery but it maybe wont work out because there has to be sth. that made the battery getting so hot. Maybe it was the Mainboard that's a bit broken which let the battery getting so hot. Just my considerations.

I don't know if this will work for everybody, but I was able to get my screenshot working with a pretty quick and easy fix. So using ROM Toolbox Pro (this DID NOT work using just Root Browser or Total Commander), I went into the Root Browser within RTP, went to my sdcard (internal) and added a new folder "Pictures" . Inside "Pictures" I created a new folder "Screenshots". Backed out of RTP, took a screenshot, and success! No guarantee it'll work for all, but give it a try.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Romman0:
Just to clarify, the 'screenshots' folder needs to be created in any of these locations.

/sdcard/Pictures/
/storage/sdcard0/Pictures/
Or
/mnt/sdcard/Pictures/

They are all linked, so it only needs to be created on one of the locations, whichever is easier to get to for y'all.. I think it is the same on all the 4.3 roms.

'sdcard0' is the internal sd, 'sdcard1' is external SD card. If pictures is already there only the screenshot folder needs to be created.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skeleton:
The device cache's thumbnail pictures of EVERYTHING. This is stored in a hidden folder under \DCIM. This consumes huge amounts of space (Gbytes). It also takes forever to scan a large extSDcard (eg: 64 GB).

There is a simple solution: Tell Android to only scan for media in user-defined media folders. This should be:

\DCIM

\Pictures

\Music

\Video

\Documents

and whatever else you desire.

How to do it? Easy, there is a free APP for that ...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.studiokuma.nomedia

I use it and it is great. It essentially places a "flagging" file ".NOMEDIA" in folders that you don't want scanned and thumbnail cached. I have such flagging files in every folder in my extSDcard, except for a few which have some pictures and music.

---------- Post added at 05:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 AM ----------

I have the same behavior. The heating is not always present on my Note-3. It seems to only occur when I am installing APPS. I suspect this is where our 32 GB storage rom is located (beside the camera), and the write-cycle is demanding higher current loads.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojocommi:
I cannot determine when it happens. I have been trying to replicate the issue numerous times and almost pinned it to the LED notification light until I turned it off and still got a hot phone. It happens more often over night when I am asleep and in the morning I wake up to a hot dead phone or near hot dead phone. I should note that I have everything off overnight so there is no receiving/sending data.

Headphone set

Hi,

I just received my N3 and I am checking all what I had read about issues. Fortunately up to now I did not find any major one except the headphone set. In fact the sound on the right Chanel is too low. I tried to adjust it with utility Adapt Sound but couldn't get satisfaction. I compared the set with my old one so I noticed that it is default in the N3 one.

Had anyone experienced such issue? And do you think Sam will replace the headphone set alone. I don't want to send the whole stuff and potentially get issues with its replacement.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skeleton:
Overnight - well that sounds wrong and bad.

As a last resort: You mentioned that you turn off everything during night. I presume you mean radios (Wifi, Bluetooth, NFC) are all off. There is one other activity that phones do on their own. Email and Cloud services poll intermittently. The polling would use Wifi first, then use 3G as an alternative. What if you tried turning off 3G (Sync in the Notification Panel) during night. However, a misbehaved program might still attempt dispite the disconnect.

I adjust the "settings" in most my Apps so they don't poll continuously or too frequently. This includes Apps that connect to the internet or cloud: Twitter, Facebook, My Fitness, Box, Dropbox, etc.

Another diagnostic you can do: with a fully charged phone, leave it unplugged overnight. In the morning immediately check if it is hot, as not noted. If so, then immediately check the Settings^General^Battery log. This will show which apps and services were hogging the battery.

Having launcher redraw issue and overheat while on charge. Rest is fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skeleton:
It works on my Note-2 (Android 4.1) and Note-3 (Android 4.3).

Regardless, there is an easy manual way to stop Android from scanning all folders for media files. This will speed Android and reduce the cache folder (\DCIM\.thumbnail\).

Create a text file. The contents of the text file is irrelevant; so make it with just a "space" character, for example. Name this text file ".NOMEDIA"; there is to be no extension on the file. Place this file in each primary folder that you want Android to no include in its media scanning and thumbnailing. Don't forget to do the same in the folders on the extSDcard. This marker file does not need to also be in sub-folders of the primary folders you are marking; all sub-folders of the primary so marked will be excluded also.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Or just use Quickpic. It's faster, free and you can select which folders it should and/or shouldn't scan. ;)

When your camera doesn't focus, are you close to the subject by any chance? It has a miminum distance requirement.

I don't use Nova, I use Apex. but it has never crashed. (Unless I clear the RAM in taskmanager.)

Bms kernel play well? or...

I am just curious if anybody has gotten BMS kernel to play well with this ROM? or if that is not supposed to be used on this ROM. I flashed it yesterday and got stuck in a bootloop. I clean flashed and its back up and running smooth now, but I just wanna make sure if it was user error on my part or if I shouldnt be trying to use that kernel on this ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
That sounds like the dated builds might be off. For example, if your on the 10/17 build of this ROM, and you flash a 10/21 build of BMS, your probably going to run into issues.

It has to do with certain commits pushed to either the kernel or ROM.

The safest way to go is flash a kernel that is dated earlier then the ROM build date.

Having a hard time when i am restarting the phone. After the Samsung Logo, it gets struck at the boot screen for a long time.

Sometimes it took even 10 minutes, otherwise i took the battery out and restarted it . so in couple of times it will come again properly.

Now, I have removed the boot animation from the settings, thinking that my problem will be solved but still the issue is there and guess what now i dont even see anything in the screen since i switched off the animation.

It is a blank black screen.

I think if i do a reset from recovery, it should come back. But i dont want to do that as i have to install everything back from back up again.
