Contact picture size

incoming call contact pic size displays full screen i want it to display thumbnail size

Dear arob615,
Reduce the resolution.
The picture will display as thumbnail on the phone when a call comes in.
Since Mountain Lion I had full screen caller pictures even when assigned in the OS X adress book.
In my case I reduced the picture to 64 x 64 pixels.
Then it showed as thumbnail as calls came in.
I don't know where the exact maximum pixel size for thumbnail display is.
If you find out, tell us.
This bugged me a long time and I would enjoy if this could help you.
Best regards

Contact Picture size when iPhone rings

My wife's iPhone 3G displays a contact's picture differently than mine and we can't figure out why.
When her phone rings from a contact where a picture is stored, the Wallpaper is displayed large in the middle and the contact's name and picture is displayed small across the top.
How can we set her iPhone to display the contact picture full size?

Here's what you need to do.
In iPhoto set up a new album. I named mine "Contacts". In this album put all the photos you'd like to use for your contacts. I suggest 1200x1600 sized photos because that's what the iPhone photos are (so you'll get a consistent experience).
In iTunes, sync this album to your iPhone.
On the iPhone, go to Photos, and select a photo and push the button on the bottom left of the screen. Select "Assign to Contact".
Once you've found the appropriate contact it will now appear full screen when you receive a call.
Hope that helps!

Contact Picture Size for iPhone Calls (4S, iOS 6.1.1)

I recently updated to iOS 6.1, and even more recently to 6.1.1. My problem is when I receive a phone call, the contact's picture is now full screen. Previously, it was a thumbnail size picture in the top right area of the screen. I much rather prefer the thumbnail size picture. I've searched throughout the forum and the only answers I've found were to edit my contacts on the computer instead of my iPhone, but I've never had to do that before. Is there a way to change it back? If not, I guess I'll adjust but any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Running iTunes 11 on Windows 7.

I've had an iPhone for 6 years. Mine's always filled the screen. Now I want to know how you got yours to be in the corner like that?

E71 contact picture size

Is it possible to make the picture shown of the contact for an incoming call larger? Thanks

Bought and installed this software, they took my money in minutes but can't answer an email in two days. Poor poor customer service

Contact Picture Size During Call (iOS5 + iCloud)

Since the upgrade to iOS 5 during a call my contact images are displayed full screen rather than a small image in the call bar with the other call information such as name and duration. Does anyone know how to get the images to show in the small box during a call, as shown on Apple's website, again?
I have tried a couple of things I have read on various forums but nothing seems to work.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hey Guys
I think I worked it out.
If you add a high res image to a contact in Address Book, it will display full screen on the iPhone.
If this happens to me, I load the photo I like into Photoshop then save it in lower res & smaller px width & height
Seems to fix it.
EDIT - the image needs to be 200px X 200px to be displayed small on the iPhone.

IPhone Contact Pictures Fully Explained

Hello Guys,
Just wanted to explain fully how the iPhone contact pictures work and why some are large and some are small etc.
In the very beginning if you added a picture to a contact on the IPHONE when you made a call it would show up as a LARGE image. If you added the picture via the Mac contacts app, when you called it would be a small image in the top right corner.
Then what happened if you added a HD/large in data size image to a contact in the mac app, it would show in your iPhone (during a call) as a large image. This was because there was enough picture data to show the larger size.
Now we come to Yosemite and iOS8........
In iOS8 if you now view a contact on the iPhone and actually finger tap the contact picture it actually opens up the full image in the screen. This didn't happen before.
Before if you tapped the picture nothing would happen.......now you can view the image and save it to the camera roll if you wish........
Now.....in Yosemite if you add a picture on the Mac this is where is gets interesting....... It doesn't matter on the actually data size of the image. It could be 40kb or 4mb. What makes the difference between large and small when calling is the HEIGHT of the image.
If you resize ANY image to 960px, when calling it will show the image as blurry LARGE!!
If you make the image 959px or less in height it will show the image as small top right.
So you have have a 5mb image thats 959px high and it will show as a small image when calling.......
I hope that clears everything up for you guys!

ckent007,
What version of the iPhone software are you using?
Are you saving the contact pictures (by tapping done in the edit contact screen) before you go to the home screen and use another application?
Hope this helps,

Contact Picture when phone is ringing.

I have a question I need assistance with. My iPhone when receiving calls are only showing my contact pictures in thumbprint and not in full size. How can I can that?

This is a change that came about with iOS 7.1. There is no change that can be done. You may provide feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

Contact picture for incoming calls!!! Please help!!

After I updated my iPhone to 7.1, my incoming calls now show the contact picture in a dinky little circle in the corner of the screen! What happened to it being the size of the whole screen!?!? Can I change that back!?!?

Another horribly poor decision in Apple's ever-growing list of poor decisions.

Contact pictures for favorites keep disappearing

this is really annoying. I keep having to add pictures to my favorite contacts and they keep disappearing. I've done it about 5 times. I go to the gallary, find a picture, size it and save it. They show up for awhile and then disappear. Any suggestions?

I am having the same issue, Along with Calendar & clock freezing, No Power issue... (5 day old phone... Took back to Verizon the pulled the battery and phone restarted... But That Is Not Fixed )

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.

Nokia 6303 contacts image size

Hi,
Just bought a new Nokia 6303 and there's a detail when calling that I dislike and I'm sure it's fixable but i just don't know how. I set a picture for a contact but when calling the picture size is very small and show in the bottom side of the screen near the name of the one I'm calling. I need to make the image bigger so I can see it on the whole screen.
Please help!
Thanks in advance and regards,
Dani

There is no setting to change this as far as I know and you can't even install an application to change this because you have a s40 phone
Show your appreciation. Hit that kudos button real hard

Resizing Contact Pictures in Adressbook

Hi!
Has anyone an idea, how to solve this problem in a simple way.
I have a large number of contacts in my addressbook and many of them have contact pictures.
For some reason addressbook keeps the resolution and the uncropped image stored. This means that my addressbook is now quite large (over 150 MB), because I used HirRes Jpegs for many contact pictures.
Is the a simple way to resize the contact images to a reasonable resolution? A script e.g. The resize function in the pop up menue is not working for me. Just creates a black frame, but keeps the original still stored.
Thanks,
Lukas

Welcome to the discussions, LukasP.
As far as I can tell, when you drop an image into the picture space of a contact and size it, two copies of the image are made and stored in Address Book's images folder. One is a highly compressed copy of the original (in the case I have just tried the file size was reduced to 1/4 of its size) and the other is the portion cropped or sized. The former retains the original jpeg extension, the latter gets no extension. Both have the same UID-style filename. In my test case the original file was 2.2MB, the compressed version was 660kB, and the cropped version 24kB.
The point? AB doesn't use the compressed files, so you can safely delete them. Sort the Images folder by type, all the jpegs will be together and you can select and delete them.

Every contact picture added using iOS 6 is fine it only happens to new picture that I try to add in iOS 7 both on iPhone 4S and iPad 4th generation.

Yes, it's horrible, the who,e system is a glitch!!!! I want to uninstall it

Contact pictures are huge in iOS 5!

Has anyone else noticed that their contacts' pictures are HUGE after the iOS 5 update? I have tried everything I can think of to get the pictures back to their normal size, but nothing works. I can't be the only one having this problem! Any suggestions? I sync my contacts via the Address Book on an iMac running Lion.

It's the app called Contacts with the icon that looks like this:
