How do I make a contact photo full screen when receiving a call

I know this feature went away in iOS 7.1 and turned into the small round bubbles but it appears to have returned in iOS 8 and Apple is advertising it on their site in the Yosemite pictures. Does anyone know how to make my contact photos full screen again?
Scroll down to Continuity: http://www.apple.com/osx/

There isn't a setting but there is a trick (at least on earlier iPhones but I suspect the 6 as well). For the photo to be full screen it must be a photo taken on the iPhone and still resident there. If you import the photo to a computer, delete it from the phone and then sync it back via iTunes, it will not display full screen. If the photo was taken on a previously owned iPhone and transferred to your new 6, it will not display full screen. If it is any consolation, I think the circular pictures are better when placing a call as the full screen ones aren't very visible behind the outgoing call screen, at least with my settings.

    Hello User909807,
    After having some close calls with fraudulent purchases on my own bank account, I know how scary it can be to know someone else other than you had your personal information, so it was nice to know my issuing bank was helping keep my identity safe. Having said that, it’s completely understandable why it’d be frustrating to discover you were unable to continue making purchases after confirming your identity via text, and I apologize if this caused any unintentional frustration.
    While I’ll be sure to document your feedback regarding our partnership with Citibank, N.A., please know that they are the issuer of your My Best Buy credit card account.

  • How do I make a utube video full-screen in iweb?

    Hello,
    Is there a way to make a utube video that is on my iweb-built website, full screen? 
    Everything about the videos I have imported from utube works fine, except when I click on the full-screen icon...nothing happens.
    View the videos (2) here: http://www.lakesweddingmusic.com/Welcome.html
    What inspired this question was coming across a site where there is an imported utube video that does go to full-screen, when asked!
    The website is here: http://talentgb.com/users/peter-brown-wedding-party-pianist  and it's a site which features exactly the same video as one of the ones on my own site - it's a promotion ste for musicians.  (You have to scroll down the page to just over half way down to view the video).
    Maybe I'm missing some important HTML that will allow full-screen?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi OT,
    Thanks for your reply.
    My HTML ebedded code is:
    <iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/a7Cu2n1mAYg?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
    As you can see, it includes 'allowfullscreen', but not ' ="true" '.  I thought that maybe the exclusion of the phrase   ' ="true" might make a difference,  until I discovered the embedded code is the same in both videos:
    http://talentgb.com/users/peter-brown-wedding-party-pianist contains exactly the same code as the video at:
    http://www.lakesweddingmusic.com/Welcome.html   Yet talentGB  allows full screen, but Lakesweddingmusic (my own site, built using iweb) does not.
    Could this be something to do with Mountain Lion not 'liking' certain aspects of iweb?

  • How do you make a contact photo bigger?

    When I select a person in my contact list, it shows a little picture, name, phone number, etc. The pictures are too small for me to see. How do I make the pictures bigger? I tried tapping on the picture, doing the two-finger motion to zoom in, etc.

    There is no way to change the size of the contact photo. If the person calls you will see a full screen image of them.

  • Please return the caller's picture of contact in full screen, when he calling

    With a full-screen picture much more informative

    +1000!
    FYI, there already was a difference in displaying different contact pictures. Depending on the way contact pictures were assigned to contacts, iOS 7.0 already displayed tiny rounded versions OR a full screen version.
    I noticed that the former small pictured contacts in iOS 7.0 are still displayed as small pictures in iOS 7.1 beta 3. The former full screen pictures in iOS 7.0 however appear as blank backgrounds in iOS 7.1 beta 3. Perhaps this is just a bug? It certainly feels like it. I cannot imagine Apple removes this behaviour, since they proudly used it in screenshots while promoting iOS 7.0.

  • Contacts ID displaying differently when receiving voice calls and sms

    Dear BB Support Community, 
    I have an issue with my Classic device that has been quite frustrating (I am very new to BB).  When I receive a phone call from one of my contacts, I can see who is calling. But when the same person sends a text message, only their phone shows up. The device is not connecting that number with the existing contact name.
    One of the causes of the problem is that my carrier, for some reason, decided to use the number of the caller without the country code when the person is making a phone call (something like 0xxxyyyyy). But when the same person is sending a text, the carrier adds the country code to that number (+ccxxxyyyyyy).
    What is frustrating is that all other android and nokia phones I have used previously had no problems with this difference on the carrier's use of area/country codes. But BB10 seems not able to connect these two numbers. 
    Can anyone help me?

    Open the phone app. swipe down from the top and go to Settings. Then go to Smart Dialing. Make sure the proper country and area code info is stored in there.

  • Contact pictures when receiving phone calls

    I have some contacts which have pictures directly taken with my iPhone and naturally they display full screen when receiving a call. Other contacts however have imported pictures which display as thumbnails when I receive a call.
    Is there a way to either have them all display as thumbnails (other than using pictures not takes with the iPhone)?
    Thanks for any input on this.

    According to wjosten in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2502247
    Contact pictures assigned on your computer & then synced to your phone will appear as thumbnails, while contact pictures assigned directly on your phone will appear full size.
    This was in 3.1.3, but it should be similar in 4.0, although I haven't had a chance to test it yet.
    Thanks, yes, that is still the case.
    What I am trying to accomplish is, that ALL pictures show up as thumbnail. So, with all your replies it seems like the only way to do this would be to save the picture on the PC and then re-sync them.

    how do Iget the contact photo to full screen size when receiving a call after iOs 7.1 update..?

    I went to the link. I selected iPHONE.  There was a big iPhone icon above the comment box -- so I was absolutely, positively on the right page.  I spent five minutes or so crafting a constructive comment as to why I wanted the full photo feature back on incoming calls on iOS7.  Then...i noticed the box below the comment area asked 'What operating system are you on?'.  And the drop down selection list included every operating system since Job's garage days -- but not one single iOS entry.  No iOS entries on an iphone page.  Unless I'm missing something, I think anyone writing a feedback comment is wasting his/her time.

  • How can I make a still photo from imovie

    How can I make a still photo from imovie?

    Let's assume you have iMovie 11 (Version 9). (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different.)
    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
    Open MPEG Streamclip.
    In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
    Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
    In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
    In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
    Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
    You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
    I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.
