What do I need to do to get the pics of my favorite contacts to look better?? They are all grainy and pixelated and horrid. Anyone know of any tips??

Theres a setting in the camera for contacts picture. Use that.

those pics are probably coming from outlook and have been scaled down...upload the images to your card or you device seperately then change the image in the people tab

I know we had this with the diamond. I'm about to shut down my computer and head out the door or I'd find it and link it, but look over on the diamond forum for the method, its pretty simple to get the pics right I just forgot the steps.

I had to do this with all my contacts on the diamond.
step 1 i made sure all my contact pics were 260x260 you don't have to do this
step 2 copy all the pics to the device
step 3 add the contact that you wanna change the pic for to favs.
step 4 change the pic for that contact once its been added to favs
step 5 repeat the processes for all your contacts
step 6 sync with what ever you use exchange outlook pimbackup... so you don't have to do this again!!!!

Just use S2V to add pictures to contacts. This will fix the pix-elation problem. Works great with no scaling.

yeah that was it basically add favs then resave contact pics

S2V, can do the job just fine, as previously stated us Diamond users had the same issue. Just save your contact pictures in a folder and then assign their pictures from there and the grainy look will be gone. If you don't have slide to view just do it from the edit menu of your contact, or the assign menu from the Pic&Vid viewer from windows. Those methods all work some are just more time consuming then others

I followed these steps, even making my pics 260x260, and I still have the grainy look on my device.

To others, what is S2V??
