Contact Pictures

[Steve54]

Howdy folks...did a search and didn't seem to find any threads that addressed this issue. That is, as an amateur/semi-pro/hobbyist photographer, I enjoy snapping my own pic to use for my friend's contact pics, when possible. My question is why, when a pic is assigned to a contact, and that pic is activated during a phone call, it shows up blurry, somewhat noisy, and beginning to pixelate. Having copied pics from my SD card, where they are stored, I noticed that each pic seems to get a corresponding thumbnail. I am going on the assumption that the phone defaults to the thumb in the assigning process, hence the disintegration when blown up to call activation size.

I don't recall this issue with my BB Storm2, but do recall it happening with my DInc. Has anyone else found this to be the case? Is there a way around it? One would think that if a clear photo can be shown in the gallery to represent the shot, it can happen for this contact issue. All ideas are welcome, and thanks.

LOL...Upstream...I was just getting ready to hit your root thread and ask you if rooting makes any difference or do you deal with the same dialer. I have my TBolt running Go Launcher Ex with a nice clean Honeycomb theme and use their contacts and dialer also. Doesn't make a diff so I was wondering if the rooting process changes that?
