Contacts photo , inadvertent wallpaper ?

I recently perplexed an iPhone phone-tech by telling her that just one of my contacts showed the photo as a full-size wallpaper when calling him, yet all the others remained in the upper right corner as apparently they're supposed to.
But earlier today I had reason to edit and re-set someone's photo and now they too are full size behind the translucent "keypad / speaker" panel. . . . as are every single one I performed a "edit / save" on !
Have I discovered an accidental feature ? , or a "bug" that will soon be fixed . . thereby undoing all my "work" ?

DmR of AtoZ,
Whether it shows up in the corner or full screen depends on the size of the picture assigned to the contact.
Address Book on a Mac will thumbnail the pictures, when those contacts are synced over, they show up in the corner.
If you take a picture on the iPhone and assign it to a contact that will be a larger pictures, and show full screen.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Contact Photos and wallpaper

Whenever I take a contact photo for somebody and they call or I call them it always takes up the wholebackground instead of their picture being in the upper right hand corner and my original background being in the corner, why is this? I want the contact photo to be up in the corner and my background be in the background. Anybody know how to fix this?

Any photo taken with the iPhone and used for a contact's profile photo, will take up the whole page. The way to eliminate this issue is to assign a photo not taken with the iPhone and assign that photo to Outlook contacts. Also if you have any phones that will sync with the PC or laptop you are using, Outlook will automatically assign those photos to the contacts of your desire. After non iPhone photos of contacts are synced to the iPhone, they will then show up in the upper right hand corner of the screen during the ring and the entire conversation. My advice is to take photos with another device or phone and sync them to Oulook. This is the guaranteed way of what you're wanting. My 8125 has hundreds of photos of friends and family contacts and all of their photos are in my screen that way. Fortunate for me, I like the full screen look, so I took new photos and reassigned them all.

Having trouble after osi7 on my iPad, I have one contact that won't recognize a number? Also can't move and scale a photo for wallpaper.

Is Apple working on a fix for editing photos for wallpaper, call contacts with photo, etc? The iPhone used to be so intuitive for everything but that tanked with the ios7 upgrade

iPhone 5 was so intuitive before the update. Editing photos has changed for the worst-any word of a fix for editing photos for wallpaper? Not a work around, a fix. If I wanted this kind of photo editing I'd still be using my droid x.
Anyway to go back to ios6?

No

Most of my photos including wallpaper and contact photos disappeared overnight and changed to stock photos. Why? How do I get them back?

Are the photos saved on your phone's SD card? Try removing and reinserting the card and restarting your phone.

Contact Photo Size???

So I have a new iPhone (8gb).
Using my Mac Pro to upload everything, contacts, iCal, etc.
So I made a new iPhone group in the address book.
Copied a photo from preview and pasted it in the contact photo box.
Syncs fine.
On the iPhone the little pic is there under each contact.
But when that person calls, it is full screen, or even larger where I can only see the person's eye or nose. And a few times the screen has come distorted where I am unable to read anything. I read that when I make a contact on the mac, the photo is supposed to display only in the corner when they call. But this is not happening for me?
Anyway to fix this?
Is there a max pic size for address book contacts?
Thanks For You Help

The easiest way I've found to add photos to contacts was within the iPhone itself.
First, you'll have to load the photos you want onto your iPhone (make an album in iPhoto of the photos, regular size/unaltered).
Then, on the iPhone, go into your photos. Find a photo you'd like to add to a contact, then click on the little photo frame w/a large swooping arrow in the lower right corner of the photo.
You'll be prompted to use the photo as wallpaper, email it, or, the one you want, "Assign To Contact"
Select that option - you'll be presented w/your contacts list - choose the person you'd like to add a photo to. Then, and this is the key part, you can resize and crop/move the photo (basically, this is a preview of what the contact photo will look like when you get a call from that contact).
Hope that helps.

Contact Photo as advertised...

How do you set the contact photo to appear as it does in the commercials?? Every advertisement I see for the iPhone has a small contact photo in the top right corner of the phone while still displaying the selected wallpaper (which on TV is the Earth). How do I get that option? I would prefer that rather than a photo that takes up the whole screen. One thing I expect from a product is to do exactly as advertised.

If you are syncing your iPhone's address book with the Address Book on your Mac, assign the photo for each contact with the Address Book on your Mac and then sync.
A photo assigned to a contact on the iPhone will make the photo for the contact appear full screen.
A photo assigned to a contact with the supported application on your computer will appear on the iPhone as advertised.

How do i delete all my photos in wallpaper that are in my camera roll

How do i delete all my photos in wallpaper that are in my camera roll

There is an option, under Advanced, on the Info Pane in iTunes to replace all contacts on your phone with what's on your computer for the next sync only. So, edit everything on your computer & use that method.

Contact photo question

In the tv ad's for both the first gen and the 3G when a call is recived the added photo displays as a small picture in the upper right corner with the wallpaper still displayed..I like that. my phone will display the contact photo covering the whole screen. Am I missing a setting somewehre? I have the first gen iPhone.

MMulhern is right. Small photos come from setting the image in the contact (through MobileMe for instance) whereas full screen photos are set by using a photo on the phone, and assigning it to a contact.
So to have just thumbnails, set up all your images for contacts using your email client on the Mac, or the MobileMe website.
If you decide you'd like full sized images, 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!

Editing Contacts Photos

So if you have been noticing in the Apple iPhone photos on www.Apple.com they show an outgoing call with their contacts picture in the upper right. Now if i set a contacts photo it always appears in teh background of the call, not in the upper right. How do i set it so when i call ther persons pic appears in the upper right corer and my wallpaper appears behind the call?

If you set a contacts photo with the iPhone, it appears full size in the background with the caller ID.
If you want it the contact's photo in the upper right like the Apple iPhone photos, set your contact's photo with Address Book only and not with the iPhone.

How do I find the original photo that is used in one of my contact photo in "Contacts"?

Hi everyone,
I am in a bit of a dilemma. I desperately need to find and/or access the original photo used as a contacts photo in the OSX built in app "Contacts". I can resize the photo and I can see it in full but I can't find the original anywhere and in any way.
I'd really appreciate some help here, as the photo is dear to my heart but seems to have gone missing. It was originally scanned in but isn't showing up where all my scanned photos are saved. Eek!
If anyone has any pointers on where I could find this photo in its original size, please do share them!
Ta,
posies

Hi DonTimo,
I've tried doing that, but in the said folder there are only default pictures. I can't find the images of any contacts in the app "Contacts" anywhere. The thread you refered me to and many others that are smilar to it, date back to about 2009-2010.
Really need this photo. Any other pointers?

Jabber 9.2, uploading the contact photo from local machine or PC.

is it posssible to upload contact Photo from local machine to jabber from 'edit profile'? I did that but nothing happened! still no contact photo.

Hi Shane,
in previous version of Jabber it was not possible, am I right? But I heard in 9.2.0 onwards we can do it.
I will send you the problem on Monday once I get back to Customer Site.

Cisco Jabber client not displaying Contact Photos

Hi All,
We have configured an external webserver to store our contact photos. But I couldn't get it working on Jabber windows clients. It works for CUPC8.5. I run the wireshark on webserver and can't see any request from Jabber client. xml file is -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config version="1.0">
<Directory>
<DirectoryServerType>EDI</DirectoryServerType>
<PhotoUriSubsitutionEnabled>true</PhotoUriSubsitutionEnabled>
<PhotoUriSubstitutionToken>sAMAccountName</PhotoUriSubstitutionToken>
<PhotoUriWithToken>http://webserveraddress/people/sAMAccountName.jpg</PhotoUriWithToken>
</Directory>
<CUCM>
<PhoneService_UseCredentialsFrom>presence</PhoneService_UseCredentialsFrom>
</CUCM>
</config>
Can someone please advise what's the issue.

Hey Abhi,
In the PRT, I see the following:
2012-05-28 09:02:16,733 DEBUG [0x00001654] [s\feature-libs\config\src\Config.cpp(74)] [csf.unified.config] [Config::getValue] - result [true] key [PhotoUriWithToken] value [http:///people/adack.jpg]
I understand that you changed the parameter to see if we can even pull a single image for anyone, however, what I see next is:
2012-05-28 09:02:16,733 DEBUG [0x00001654] [rdsource\ADPersonRecordSourceLog.cpp(50)] [csf.person.adsource] [WriteLogMessage] - Configuration::SetConfigurationParameter - setting configuration parameter [PhotoSource] to [adack] //This needs to be AD Parameter which I see you used earlier
2012-05-28 09:02:16,733 DEBUG [0x00001654] [rdsource\ADPersonRecordSourceLog.cpp(50)] [csf.person.adsource] [WriteLogMessage] - Configuration::SetConfigurationParameter - setting configuration parameter [PhotoUriWithToken] to [http://pho/people/adack.jpg]
Do you know where this url is coming from?
I suggest that based on Jason's input and as well as changing the parameter back to the one we want, lets follow this action plan:
1) Exit out of Jabber and delete the files from the following location:
C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Cisco\Unified Communications\Jabber\CSF\Logs
2 ) Modify the Jabber-Config.xml
Change the Directory Section of the Jabber-Config.xml to the following
EDI
True
sAMAccountName
http://sptde.racq.com.au/people/sAMAccountName.jpg
3) Re-login and then Generate the PRT by Help -> Report Error
Keep in mind if the jabber-config.xml is uploaded on Call Manager, it'll replace any local modification, so we have to update the file on Call Manager .
Once we have the new PRT with the Config provided above, I can work on that.
Regards,
Jasmeet
