Full screen photo as caller ID

Hi, is there a way to have full screen photo as caller ID even if I have my contacts synced with gmail. Otherwise is there a way to unsync contacts without have them deleted from iPhone?
Many thanks.
Ciao, Andrea

screen caller id photo.
I found this page:
http://www.apple.com/accessibility/iphone/vision.html
Which has this information:
"You can even set incoming calls to display a full-screen image or photo of the caller."
But, I checked all the options under accessibility, and I can't find a way to do this.
Like Genuis2000, I have tried setting the photo by:
1 - Using an existing Photo
2 - Taking a new photo with the iPhone and using that.
Either way, it only shows a little thumbnail photo when the person calls.

  • How do you get a contact's photo to show full-screen when they call?

    A friend sees a large full-screen photo of some of his contacts when they call. I only see a small round circle with the name next to it? Is there a setting that makes this happen? Both of us on 5c iPhones with OS 8.

    Thanks, RobinD.
    I've just  solved it through Apple, but want to share the answer for others. Even with ALL of the near-seamless syncing between my Mac, iPad and iPhone, the only way you get a full screen photo of the person calling your iPhone is if you've assigned a photo ON YOUR PHONE to that contact in your iPhone's contacts app. Doesn't matter that Mac's "contacts" already has a photo that you assigned there before. That photo will only show up as the small round mugshot next to the caller ID UNLESS you duplicate the action of assigning the contact with another photo that's in your phone's collection of shots to the contact's listing in iPhone's "Contacts" app.

  • HT1245 Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s.

    Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s. I have looked onlime at several threads and there are no real answers as to what I need to do or am doing wrong.

    I am also having this issue.
    I've just spoken to someone in the Apple Support Centre who advised me that since the product is in beta, he is unable to assist. I wanted to find out whether someone was able to delete the data for me, or 'reset' the photos app somehow. This apparently cannot be done. He suggested I provide feedback via the feedback page, which I will do, but to be honest doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence in the issue being fixed.
    I also deactivated the service and waited the 30 days for the pictures to be deleted - this should have been completed in mid-January. Instead, my iCloud.com Photos page is now showing the photos that should have been deleted as grey squares, just as you described. I am also unable to delete these photos; every time I try, I get the same message about a server error.
    I am also unable to disable the service by enabling and then disabling it on my iPhone. Each time I have tried this it hangs on uploading for several hours, with the progress bar not moving at all. When I disable it on my iPhone, the web app remains unchanged.
    If anyone has had this issue and has managed to fix it, PLEASE share your wisdom. I am out of patience!

    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. As such, I will be glad to share your concerns with our Citibank contacts so that they may contact you to discuss your account in further detail. Please know you should receive follow-up contact from them within the next 3-5 business days.  
    Respectfully,

  • IPhone Cuts off Full Screen Photos in Contact View

    The iPhone can use a full screen photo of a contact (when a call is initiated), if the original is cropped in iPhoto as '2 x 3 (iPhone) / Portrait'. (To set up full screen view on the iPhone, the user must select a contact, tap the 'Edit' button, tap the contact photo, tap 'Edit Photo', tap 'Choose', then tap 'Done'.) However, the same photo is then cropped to a square shape when initially viewed in the Contact screen, often cutting off the person's forehead. A suggestion for improvement would be to have the iPhone use the square cropping settings of the original photo when it was added to Address Book (for initial Contact view), and then use the 2 x 3 settings when the call is initiated to have the photo fill the screen. Anyone have any workarounds?

    Hello
    I have updated my software recently and the full screen default for the web browser is very annoying and causing my phone to slow down badly.
    Has anyone been able to turn the Full Screen web mode default off??
    Or how do you delete a software update.
    Thanks

  • How do I get black side bars on a full screen photo in iPhoto 11

    How do I get black side bars on a full screen photo in iPhoto 11. It was black in iPhoto 09 and now it's a murky grey. I'm not talking about events or photo view where it's in preferences only full screen photo. Thanks

    Go into iPhoto's Appearance preference pane and move the Background slider all the way to the left - black.

    No. Just provide feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback. Also, you can search and find a number of posts about this. Not necessary to start a new one.

  • How do I get my contact's photos to display full screen for incoming calls?

    I noticed today that when I get an incoming call it no longer displays "full screen".  I keep missing calls because it now only displays as a banner at the top of the screen that someone is calling and their photo (if I've assigned one to them) is a tiny thumbnail. 
    Did I only just notice now that this is another 'great upgrade' with the new IOS, or is this some weird glitch with my phone?  I've been wondering how I've been missing calls in the past week, but just happened to catch it today after I had been using the new map app and wasn't sure if it was just a coincidence or if it's somehow connected..? 
    Is there any way to change this or am I stuck with it this way??

    I've never added my contact on my computer, I've always done it through my phone (I didn't know you could do it through the computer).  The problem is not the photo, it's that the call doesn't come in and take up the full screen.  Now when a call comes in, it displays as a banner at the top of the phone where the time and date normally would be, so I don't notice anyone's phoning. 
    As far as I can recall, it's only started happening since yesterday after I used the new map app.  I've checked my notifications settings and the phone settings and so far as I can see, everything is set the same way it always was.  I checked my hubby's phone to see if it's maybe something new since this last update to IOS6, but the call displays full screen (regardless whether the contact has a photo associated to it or not) and not a banner at the top of the screen like mine.
    I still don't know how to change this back.  Any other suggestions?

    Is this me or everyone?

  • Full screen photo from contacts when answering a c...

    Hi all,
    Is there any settings in the phone to achieve this? In nokia 5800 when you receive a phone call, the photo of your contact appears in full screen, but in the N97 appears in half the screen cutting the photo of your contact. That´s strange, because when you edit a photo there's the option to crop it in order to use it as an image for a contact, and the size is full screen. 

    you can download full screen caller apps here you go

  • Full Screen Photos In Slide Show & Other Questions

    Hi - I'm using Premiere Elements 4. I have a few questions since I'm new to using the program. First of all, how do I get the photos to take up the whole screen (instead of showing a black border) when they are played back? They were taken on a 7.2 megapixel camera at the maximum quality setting. Also, the resolution is bad when it's played back but fine when you see the preview of the photos in the program. I've seen other posts about needing to change the resolution but I was wondering if I got the photos to play full screen if that might fix my problem because I can play the photos as a slide show in the Windows Photo Gallery Program and the resolution is perfect and the photos take up the whole screen.
    Secondly, how do I delete a menu from the Disc Menus Section? Also, how would I delete the "Scene Selection" button from the menu screen that I want to keep? I want to be able to have a menu with just a "play all" button.
    Thanks for your help.

    The only way to remove Scene Menu button from Disc Menus is to physically remove it from the template by editing it (They're PSD files) in Photoshop Elements.
    As for photos, DO NOT use photos from that 7.2 megapixel camera at full resolution, niagara. It's a sure recipe for disaster. RAther, per the FAQs at the top of this forum, rez those photos all down to no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size.

    That done, you can get your photos to fill your screen one of two ways:
    a) Leave the Default to Frame Size option checked in your preferences. The only case in which this won't work is if you're using 4:3 photos in a 16:9 widescreen project.
    b) If this is the case, go to Edit/Preferences and uncheck Default to Frame Size BEFORE you import that photos into your project. (It won't work if you do it after.) Then, after placing each photo on your timeline, right-click on each, select Show Properties and, in Properties, open Motion and set Scale to 85%. Note that, because your photos and the widescreen have different aspect ratios, you will lose some of the vertical off the tops and bottoms of your photos.
    There are many more ways to do it -- but it all depends on what you're trying to accomplish.
