As a new owner of a OnePlus 3 I added my live.com (microsoft) account and enabled sync. Sure enough all my contacts show up in the built-in contacts app but with sync enabled on that account, it removes any picture I manually add to any contact in the contacts app.
Does anyone know if there's a way to have the contacts from my Microsoft account sync-ed to my phone without losing pictures that I manually set. When going into Outlook.com's contact management I can't add pictures to most of my contacts so I can't add them there in order to have sync pull them into my phone.
