what up with the blurry contacts?

Lurker
I have searched all over for an answer to this question, why are my contact pics so blurry? The only answers are for the Motorola droid and the "pathways" you take are difrerent than the droid eris. Ex: got mms with pic, long pressed and saved. Went to album, selected pic, pressed menu button, set as, then chose contact. I figured that was a standard way of doing it and it worked. Except thay when i get a call from contact the picture looks pixelated and blurry. But all other pics not set as contact loom AMAZING. Any help? Do I also need to wait for that Google update talked about in a previous thread about the motorola droid? Another quick question.......my keyboard is lagging super hard while typing (only on this site btw) is there too much going on......this site I mean. idk anyways any help would be greatly appreciated. The manual for this awesome phone needs to be revised...
 
I am also having an issue with my contact photos. I fix it and it looks great when I make outgoing calls, but when they call in, it gets blurry and crappy even after I fix it! I never had this problem until I switched scenes recently.

Another thing I noticed is that I would have to change a particular person's name consistently. It seems like it reverts back to the original name "Hugh" after I changed it to "Hieu" and save it. So far it hasn't changed back though. I did all the updates but that doesn't seem to help with the contact photos either. Ugh.

HTC Hero, by the way.
 
I've got this with my Desire. What it seems to be is that when you sync with Google, Google turns the picture into 100x100 res pic. You could stop syncing with Google and then that should keep your pics high res but of cause you lose a lot doing that. Reading about it this has been a problem for ages and it still hasn't been fixed!! :mad: Hopefully with more people buying Android phones now Google will actually listen to all these complaints and actually sort it out!!!! :mad:
 
Same problem for me and exists within the HTC contact widget and the contact that appears during the phone. Blurry and almost unrecognizable and frustrating! Facebook photos look okay, but I don’t like to merge all of my contacts together into one list.
