Full-Screen Contact ID Photo vs. Thumbnail

I have tried various methods of assigning a picture to my contacts.  I would like the photo to show up as a full screen picture when the contact calls me, but right now it only pops up as a thumbnail in the upper right next to the name.  Is there an easy fix for this short of downloading and individually assigning each picture on the phone?  That is a very cumbersome prospect.  I use the Address Book application on my desktop to sync contacts every time I sync my phone.  Perhaps there is a preference in Address Book, iTunes or on my iPhone that I need to click (or unclick) to allow full-size syncing?

Then try using a smaller resolution. I don't see much need in using a really high quality image, with a large resolution to be viewed as a little thumbnail for just a couple of seconds when the person calls.

  • Full screen contact photos

    I have just updated to iOS 8 and I am trying to get full screen contact photos instead of the small circle in the corner.

    Hey Haigh2911,
    Thanks for the question. Yes, full screen call pictures have returned in iOS 8 for incoming calls. You’ll want to attach a photo to your contact’s card in the Contacts app:

    Additional Information: Here is an example of the full screen call picture:

  • Full screen contact pic troubles

    full screen contact pic not possible even after 1.reset my iphone 2. take photo from phone camera in Edit Contact 3.Change Camera to HDR and interestingly, after saving pic in contact it reverts back to small pic again after a while though a couple of times full screen pic is shown while dialling out or in. But always it becomes a Thumbnail later ! Also, my son's photo is taken from the gallery after I took his pic from the phone and now it is perfect though my other family members and friend's pics do not behave that way even though I have erased the name and inserted it again from scratch - its the same ! And I have noticed , some contacts are possible with full screen pics and some don't though the process is exactly the same ! And no. no Facebook connection either. Like my wife's profile does not exists in the Facebook.

    No, when you get a call it's a small round image of your contact if you have set it up.

  • Okay...what happened to the full screen contact picture?

    Okay...what happened to the full screen contact picture? Is there a way to get it back? I'd like to see the full picture of the person I'm  calling-not just an ugly blank screen with little round circles on it!!!!

    I wrote my feedback there. Please everyone leave your feedback. The new 7.1 design is very impractical.
    Why they crave so much about these ugly circles? There are lots of unused space available on the screen.
    Please bring back the big rectangular buttons!!!!!!
    And full-screen contact picture when someone's calling.

    Is that so? So you don't use ANY of the other features of the iPhone? You don't use the internet, apps, play games, make calls, take pictures, or ANYTHING else at all? You just wanted full-screen contact image?
    I don't believe you...
    Please make changes for contact image for for full screen

  • Everytime I go to full-screen mode the photo I am working on is on one space while the filmstrip is on another. Also there is no way to get to the menu on top as it is hidden. When I hit the f key everything goes to black and I have to quite the program.

When I hit the f key everything goes to black and I have to quite the program. This is the first time I have any problems with Aperture.
    I run aperture 3 on OS X 10.7 iMac 27" 2.8GHz i7 16GB.
    Thanks for any help.

    You have to change the cursor focus.
    What I usually do for PDF pages/tabs, is click in the URL/location bar, then F11.<br />
    For Flash, if you click on the page outside of the video area/box, F11 should work.

  • Full screen contact photo

    My contact photo won't display full-screen.  This has been going on since the last update a fewdays ago.  I looked on the web for suggestions, but couldn't find any info since the last update to 7.1
    This happened on a previous update, tried the delete photo and then add like I did last time, but the only option seems to be the circle photo. I am not linking through facebook or any other service for the photo, I have used this picture before.
    iPhone 5
    Any ideas? thanks, bill

    You would have to complain to apple and request to get it back
    I did and told them to at least give us the choice to choose
    The only way to fix this is to voice our feedback

  • Contact "large photo" vs "thumbnail" photos

    So if you apply a photo in address book on the mac, then sync it to the iphone, it never seems to show up as a large photo when receiving/placing a call to that person... it shows up as a thumbnail in the top right corner (the iPhone commercials work this way)
    However, if you take a photo with your iphone, or import one, and assign it to a contact, it shows full-screen in the background, as if it was your wallpaper...
    Is there a way to force everything to be big, or small... either way is fine, i just want it UNIFORM and not seemingly random all the time.

    Then try using a smaller resolution. I don't see much need in using a really high quality image, with a large resolution to be viewed as a little thumbnail for just a couple of seconds when the person calls.

  • Can´t view photos in full screen after loading photos to dropbox? what to do?, can´t view photos in full screen after loading photos to dropbox? what to do?

    after loading photos to dropbox i can´t view them in full screen in iphoto ... i can only view them small ... when i click on them this sign "!" appears... do you know how to fix this????

    If you're loading photos to drop box why do you expect to see them in iPhoto?
    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Full screen contact picture lost iPhone 6 plus

    upgraded my iphone 5 to ios8 and i was so pleased to see the return of fullscreen contact pictures for incoming calls. After getting an iphone 6+ today I am disappointed to see this return to the small round picture at the top of the screen. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

    Hello everyone. No one is missing a setting or need to do a bodoo ritual to get a full sized photo on incoming call in an iphone. The answer is simple since the phone in his original position has an aspect radio of 9:16 to the phone display a picture in full screen at the incoming call the picture needs to be in the same aspect ratio so there is no blank spaces anywhere and the software proceed to display the contact picture.  Also the picture has to stay in your library.
    The procedure to do this in iOS 8:
    1- Go to Photos>Camera Roll> Select the picture you wanna set as contact.
    2- Touch "Edit" in the right superior corner.
    3- Inside Edit mode touch the tool to resize.
    4- Set the grid to a position taller than wide.
    5- Touch the scale icon in the lower right corner of the screen. Is the one above the "Done" button.
    6- Select the last option that reads: "9:16" that is related to the aspect ratio for the selected area.
    7- Adjust your image zooming or moving until it reach the desired one.
    8- Hit done.
    9- Now in Camera Roll set the image to the contact desired. It's done.
    Enjoy.

  • Who do I complain to regarding an Apple iPhone upgrade that has taken my my full screen contact picture and turned it into a tiny circle that is hard to see at a glance!!!

    I'm trying to find an outlet for the frustration I feel regarding the "upgrade" that replaced my full screen picture for my contact numbers to a tiny, little dot in the right hand corner.  Are they going to give us an option to go back or did someone  just need to justify their job by making  changes??
