Contact profile picture low res?? - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

Hey folks,
Ran into this really strange issue in 2019!! So on my S8, low res profile will be automatically converted to high res once I dragged the photo of the contact down. But in S10, it does not do this. Profile photo is still the low res in the small round circle.
Even I have managed to change the photo to high res, the res does not stick. After a few hours or few reboot, photo would be back to low res.
Any clue how to get back the high res contact profile photo or at least make my selection stick?
Thanks!!

Same here.
My previous phone was a LG G7, before that Oneplus 6T & Oneplus 5. I still have the LG & 6T which I haven't reset to factory as yet. On all my previous phones the contacts that I assigned a picture to would, once synced have a small circular thumbnail when in the contacts list & if I clicked on a particular contact the top half of the screen would be the full res picture.
When I set up my Galaxy S10 all the same contacts would only show up as a small low res circular pic. I thought it was something I did so I edited all my contacts by re-assigning brand new updated high res pics. On the S10 they would initially show up as intended i.e. top half of the screen lovely full res pic, but after a few minutes they all reverted back to the crappy small circular low res pic.
I checked back to my 2 older phones and they had updated all the contact pics and all in lovely full high res.
Is this a quirk with Samsung phones & something I have to live with or is there a hidden setting somewhere that can rectify this annoying problem.

I am surprised at the level of the response here!! Thought everyone had this problem?

I have a Samsung S8 and some contacts have full resolution photos and some not...
Even if I change the photo of the contact to a high resolution one, it works for 1-2 minutes, but then it automatically becomes small again...
Any idea???

Just a quick update on this. After updating to the March 2019 patch, it appears the issue has been resolved. Now if you tap on the small circle profile pic, it will expand and shows the high res pic !

Nope. I am still having this issue with my S10. Any updates/ideas?

It got resolved after an update last year while the S10 was still on Android 9. Now after the update to Android 10 this issue has come back.

[Q] Picture Frame / Link to larger picture

Hello XDA,
I'm back in school come September for my 5th semester of Computer Engineering, what I'm looking for is an app/widget where I can have a small photo of my timetable/schedule and when pressed will open up a larger picture of my timetable to check class locations/times and whatnot.
I've tried a few picture frame widgets but none of them really seem to have the ability to link to a larger picture where more detail can be seen (as the font is rather small and need the larger image to read). I would be happy if I could even create an icon called SCHEDULE that when pressed opens up the picture of my schedule, as long as its not as slow as navigating to my Gallery, selecting the folder in which the picture is stored, and then scrolling to find the picture of my schedule.
Does anyone know of an app or somehow that I can make this happen?
Cheers

contact pictures big and small...help

Hellò,
I would like to know why some contact pictures are showed in full screen while other, with same size and resolution are displayed very small.
I have assigned 3 picture with same size and resolution to 3 of my contacts but only one of them, when called (or when he calls me) the display shows the picture in full screen mode.
Does this happen to you also?
I don't want to use any application for full screen caller, I don't like it..
thanks for help

Gallery problems

Hi,
has anyone had a problem viewing images taken with other(older) phones and when they are transferred to 1+3 they don't show correctly?
I cannot post screenshots atm but it's like this: pictures taken in portrait mode are displayed stretched and pictures taken in landscape are normal. It's the same weather I rotate the phone or not but then I go to edit the photo (the pencil option at the bottom) it scales the image the way it should be(just in the editing software, not in gallery).
Hope I explained it, I'll try to post a screenshot.
greets,
Domagoj
I have a few hundred photos brought from my previous phone (ASUS Padfone 2) and everything is displayed correctly ...
Did you change DPI or anything else that could affect gallery?

I did not change a thing, just transferred the images on my 1+.
The funny thing is that the images I had taken with HTC desire and had them stored on my last phone (LG G2) are all displaying correctly so only the ones I took with the G2 are messed up.

I can't set my photo as wallpaper. Help!!!

Good day! I want to put my photos as wallpaper on my desktop. I took several photos, made their size according to the resolution of the phone, put it on the phone, and assigned it. But the problem is that they do not fit on the screen! Only a part of the photo is visible on the screen. I already made a white frame for them and set the size in millimeters as a screen on the phone. Nothing helps. Tell me what else can I do. I did not think that such a problem could arise in android. On my old Lumia 950, I just set the resolution in the right proportions and all the photos fit into the screen automatically.

Camera depth of colour changed since upgrade to emu 10

Hi
can you help.
Since upgrading the depth in colour on the camera is very poor.
I sell vacuum cleaners mainly online and used to love how the pictures came out. Now they look very weak in colour with no depth.
I won't lie. When i first got the camera I can't remember if i made any settings changes but I have been playing around with it and can't seem to re-create it.
One thing I used to touch the screen to focus on a point and the picture used to darken slightly which looked good. Also it was a circle. Now it's a square and the picture goes lighter which I hate.
Can you guys help..?
I did try to roll back to EMU 9 through hi suite but it won't give me the option. I did enable HDB etc but it still does not give me the option. If you guys can't help with the camera settings, is there any other way to rollback..? I don't care about security etc and new features, the main use was for the pictures.
Hi,
I was wondering if you saw the option to revert to factory settings in camera when you open settings? Try doing that?
As for darkening the photo, when you touch the place you want to focus, the little sun appears on the side of the square. Try swiping up or down to lighten or darken the photo.
