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.

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.

When receiving phone calls, the background apps play through the speaker making it impossible to hear the person on the other line. How do i fix this? This started happening on my iphone 4 and now i have the same problem with my iphone 4s.

I once had a phone call in the middle of a trip. I was listening to my music and phone rang. It was work calling. I answered the phone and the music continued to play. I had to tell the person to hold, then i had to use multitask to find the app and manually turn it off. Once that was done, i retrurned to the phone call to find out that when i receive an email it too plays through the speaker while i am on the phone. Why wouldn't it mute these things while i am making a phone call? Is there a setting for this? It seems to me that this only happened since IOS 5, but i can't be 100%. What i am 100% on is the fact that it happened on my Iphone 4 and is now happening on my Iphone 4s.

The music continued to play with the iPod?
If so, when a call is received while listening to music with the iPod, when the call is answered the music should be paused. When ending the call, the music starts playing again from where is was paused.
There is no automatic mute with notifications for received email or messages while on a call and there is no setting for this.

My iphone 4s no longer makes noise when receiving phone call or sms

i have an iphone 4s purchased june 2012
everything worked fine when i bought it
sometime during a holiday trip over christmas 2012, the noise function broke
what works fine?
i can play music and hear it
i can make a call and hear the other person
i do receive calls and i can still hear the other person
i can hear siri
what is broken?
when i get a phone call, no ringer sounds even though yes i'm sure i have a ringer selected.
if i test the ringer sound in general > settings, i hear the sound. if i change the ringer to another option, i can hear it in settings, but not when i actually get a phone call.
when i get a text, no alert sound is made even though yes i'm sure i have an alert selected. if i test the alert in general > settings, i hear the alert sound. if i change the alert to another option, i can hear it in settings, but not when i actually get a text.
i have tried a restore and a re-boot
help please thanks

Turn on phone
Press home button twice
Close any open app pages that appear
Restart phone
This apparently resets the apps and the ring tone goes on when you receive a text.
Worked for me anyway.

Little contact photo when receiving a call (just like on the commercials)

I keep seeing the iPhone commercials where the person plays with some features of the phone and then receives a call at the end. Instead of it showing their photo all blown up and huge, it shows their wallpaper in the background and has their photo adjacent to their name at the top.
Where can I change to this setting or is it a mirage?

Pics applied to contacts _on the computer_ then synced to the iPhone show up as the thumbnail like the commercial. Pics assigned to the contact directly on the iPhone show up as full screen.
So, move the pics to your computer, assign the pics in Outlook, then sync.

IPhone isn't recognising Contacts when receiving phone calls!

Whenever someone tries to call me, even if they don't have a private number and are in my contacts, it is coming up as 'Unknown' caller. Please help!

So when they call it says "Unknown" and not the number?
That suggests to me that the phone number of the person calling you is not being sent across the network and therefore the iPhone isn't being told the number, and therefore it can't match the number. If it was just the fact that a number was coming up instead of a name then it would be the case that you didn't have the number set up correctly in your contacts (e.g. missing area code).
So, you say your brother's "phone is set to send caller id". Are you sure about this? Can he call another phone and make sure? If that works then is that other phone on the same network as your iPhone?
There isn't a setting to turn off numbers and display unknown instead (and I can't see a use for one) so if you can prove this works on another phone on the same network as you, but not the iPhone, then it suggests to me that the iPhone is faulty...

I Would like to be informed in My iPad When receiving à phone call in My iPhone is that possible?

Is tis possible?

I think what you are asking is ,can your iPad let you know when you have a call on your I phone. The answer is no it can't.

When receiving a call on my iPhone 4s the contact name does not appear

when receiving a call on my iphone 4s the conact name does not appear

This should fix it:
Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom. Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
Wait a 3-5 minutes.
Try your phone again to verify that it's fixed.

I cannot receive phone calls or messages when iPhone screen is locked

Hello,
i have an iPhone 5.
i Am unable to receive phone calls or text messages when my screen is locked. When I unlock the screen the missed call doesn't even appear so I have no idea anyone has called me. Text messages come through at about 12:30am every night.
i Have tried EVERYTHING I could find in forums and Apple trouble shooting. This is my last resort other than sending it to Apple.
iit is as if "do not disturb" is stuck on, but it isn't.
i Have tried:
changing all all do not disturb settings.
checked call forwarding etc.
checked mute
my silent button is not on.
i have reset every setting and then even reset the phone and manually transferred everything back onto it rather than restore It from previous back ups.
oout it in recovery mode.
i Have no success with any.
the weird part is when I first lock the screen and try to call it, it does ring. But if I give it a minute or more it won't ring.
does anyone have any ideas or anything that may help?
PLease, please, please

I Have also checked blocked numbers and swapped SIM cards from a completely different carrier so it's not the carrier either

How do I get the contact photo to full screen size when receiving a call after iOs 7.1 update..?

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.

iPad are not telelphones. They do not receive calls nor do they receive or send SMS messages.

When will Apple make an ipad that lets you make and receive phone calls?

When will Apple make an ipad that lets you make and receive phone calls?

The iphone is too small for me to use for the internet (maybe it's my age)-- especially for Facebook--where I am a Page Administrator, but the mini ipad would be just right for both phone and internet. I'll bet they make a new ipad able to make and receive phone calls right after I buy the current one.

Unable to make or receive phone calls on iPhone 3G

I just returned from traveling; during my trip, the phone started searching for a network, which it has never done repeatedly, like it is now. Since yesterday I have not been able to receive or make calls! Very frustrating, esp. since I was traveling into a volatile weather situation. At any rate, internet, text messaging and email are working fine. HELP!
