How do I get my contact's photos to display full screen for incoming calls?

I noticed today that when I get an incoming call it no longer displays "full screen".  I keep missing calls because it now only displays as a banner at the top of the screen that someone is calling and their photo (if I've assigned one to them) is a tiny thumbnail. 
Did I only just notice now that this is another 'great upgrade' with the new IOS, or is this some weird glitch with my phone?  I've been wondering how I've been missing calls in the past week, but just happened to catch it today after I had been using the new map app and wasn't sure if it was just a coincidence or if it's somehow connected..? 
Is there any way to change this or am I stuck with it this way??

I've never added my contact on my computer, I've always done it through my phone (I didn't know you could do it through the computer).  The problem is not the photo, it's that the call doesn't come in and take up the full screen.  Now when a call comes in, it displays as a banner at the top of the phone where the time and date normally would be, so I don't notice anyone's phoning. 
As far as I can recall, it's only started happening since yesterday after I used the new map app.  I've checked my notifications settings and the phone settings and so far as I can see, everything is set the same way it always was.  I checked my hubby's phone to see if it's maybe something new since this last update to IOS6, but the call displays full screen (regardless whether the contact has a photo associated to it or not) and not a banner at the top of the screen like mine.
I still don't know how to change this back.  Any other suggestions?

  • How do you get a contact's photo to show full-screen when they call?

    A friend sees a large full-screen photo of some of his contacts when they call. I only see a small round circle with the name next to it? Is there a setting that makes this happen? Both of us on 5c iPhones with OS 8.

    Thanks, RobinD.
    I've just  solved it through Apple, but want to share the answer for others. Even with ALL of the near-seamless syncing between my Mac, iPad and iPhone, the only way you get a full screen photo of the person calling your iPhone is if you've assigned a photo ON YOUR PHONE to that contact in your iPhone's contacts app. Doesn't matter that Mac's "contacts" already has a photo that you assigned there before. That photo will only show up as the small round mugshot next to the caller ID UNLESS you duplicate the action of assigning the contact with another photo that's in your phone's collection of shots to the contact's listing in iPhone's "Contacts" app.

  • 3G Nano: How do I get my photos to display full-screen?

    Hi,
    I have a 3G Nano.
    When I go into PHOTOS the left 1/2 of the screen is always taken up by the menu selections and I have not yet figured out how to get the photos to display full screen. What am I doing wrong?
    Please excuse... this is my first iPod...

    Select "All Photos" from the menu to the left of those half pictures. Press the center button and you will get "thumb nails of your photos. Run your finger around the touch wheel and a yellow box will highlight the picture. If you start with the first picture and press the center button again you will bring up a full screen pict. To go to the next pict use the touch wheel in a clockwise manner to see each pict. Go to back to the photo menu and go to settings to try out some neat tricks and even add music. Don't ever be worried about asking a question. The only dumb question is the one you didn't ask! I got my nano yesterday and I have some questions that the "help" didn't address also

    Help- how do i get in contact with Apple via mail or chat for support
    This is ridiculous, why can I not get in contact with Apple by email or chat with their support team?? How to do, please help.

    You cannot contact Apple support by e-mail or via chat.
    You have to contact AppleCare by telephone.
    If there is an Apple store nearby, visit the genius bar.

  • Hello...i have lost my all my data because i restored my phone, how can i get all contacts and photos back?

    Hello, I have lost all my data from iphone as i restored it, how can i get my old contacts and photos back ?

    Connect to the computer the last backup is on, right click on its name in iTunes, and choose "Restore from backup". If the latest backup is in iCloud make sure you have a WiFi connection, then go to Settings/General/Reset and tap Erase all content and settings. After erasing you will be prompted to restore the iCloud backup.

  • How can I get in contact by telephone with Adobe tech support for Premiere Elements 12?

    The Adobe support pages on their web site are a maze and I keep going in circles and can't find how to actually talk on the phone or chat with tech support.  Help please.

    Please click on the following link, and, when it opens, click on the statement "Still need help? Contact us." to bring up Adobe Chat. I would suggest that you select a topic such as "Downloading, Installing, and Setting Up" or "Orders, Refunds, and Exchanges" to get through to Adobe Chat. Otherwise, you are likely to get bounced back to the forums with those link opportunities.

    Please let us know if we can be of any assistance with your Premiere Elements workflow. We are not Adobe. Just users in user to user forum.

  • How to I get my contact names to show up in messages and phone calls?

    My contact names have stopped showing up in messages and phone calls.  How do I fix this problem?

    Did you change your region settings recently? (if so, set it back to the region you had before)
    Have you checked to see if your contacts are syncing properly in iCloud? (do the contacts match what you have online?)

    You can try to reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the about:addons page.

  • How do I get a "PLAY ALL" button on the main screen for iDVD?

    I spent a lot of time creating a DVD with pictures and music, and the main screen when I play the DVD shows all of the different scenes, but when I click on one of the scenes, it won't continue to the next one. I have to individually plan every scene in order to watch the whole DVD, rather than just clicking on the first scene and letting it play through. How do I make it so that I can either create another button that will play the whole DVD through or make it so that it continues to the next scene after the previous one is finished??

    You can't create a 'play all' button with iDVD. All your separate scenes are separate movies as far as iDVD is concerned. You need to assemble all you separate scenes into one movie in iMovie and then insert chapter markers if you want separate entry points.
    Apple's pro DVDSP does let you link movies to obtain a play all function.

  • How do I get Safari to open a window both full screen and large?

    OS 10.8.5
    Safari 6.1.1
    When I open a new page in Safari it is only half the screen wide and when I fill the screnn the image is still smal so I command +, three times.  Is there a way to make this my default?

    Then do a "get info" on it (Apple Key with the letter "i" key)
    Select the "Open With" Box
    Change it to "Preview"
    Then select the box just beneath it
    "Change All."
    This should set your PDF's to be read with Preview.

  • How do you get bookmarks selected to appear in the full screen rather than the small window to the left

    When I click on a bookmarked site, some of them show up on the large screen to the right, but mostonly show up in the much smaller window to the left and are therefor useless. this is even when I've opened a new tab. I never had this problem before, but recently received a new computer and this is the result after downloading firefox in this computer.

    hello davinci2, please right-click any bookmark where this is happening, go to ''properties'' and make sure that they are not set up to open in the sidebar.
