IPhone contacts won't display full screen picture after IOS 7.1 update.

How do I get pictures in Contacts to appear full screen when the phone rings instead of as a thumbnail?

Sorry, you can't, as it was a change made by Apple with iOS 7.1. There are no settings to change it.

Bluetooth for iPhone 6 still won't pair with my car after iOS 8.1 update

So frustrated. I assumed that Apple knew about the problem and that iOS 8.1 would fix what is clearly a very common/widespread issue. Bluetooth is not exactly a new technology... how is it that Apple creates a highly advanced phone, but it can't make a 10-15 years-old technology work?
I never had any issues with my 5S, but my iPhone 6 has not been able to pair with the Bluetooth in my 2011 Mini Cooper since the day I got it (no phone or BT audio). The 8.1 update has had zero effect on the sequence of events that occur when I try to pair my phone. The car has no problem recognizing the phone, and I can see the car listed under Bluetooth devices, and when I select the car from the list of devices on the phone, the screen to enter the pairing code comes up on my car display. The problem is that the phone never gives me the code to enter into the car display.
I have tried all the "tricks" people have used to get their BT to work (deleting all phones from car, resetting all phone settings, renaming the phone, etc). Nothing works for me. I really don't want to have to get rid of my 6, but since Apple has never publicly acknowledged the problem, I have no way of knowing if this is ever going to be fixed.
Really disappointed in you Apple. This is my 3rd iPhone, and you're about to lose a loyal customer if you don't get this sorted out very soon.

The same problem here. iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.2 and bmw 328i 2013 with latest Bluetooth update doesn't pair. The phone will see the car in bluetooh settings but fails to connect. Based on apple tech support I did the following:
1. powered thr phone down and back on- no help
2. Removed all other phones from iDrive- no help
3. Tried with wi if off - no help
4. Reset network settings- no help
5. Restored my phone entirely to factory settings- no help
The phone can pair to other Bluetooth devices and the car can pair with iphone 4 running iOS 7 no problem. my wife's iphone 6 won't pair with my car either.
I sure hope apple is still working to correct this!

IPhone 4s No Longer connects to Car Bluetooth after iOS 7.1 Update

My iPhone 4s has been paired to our 2006 Acura TL hands free link (Bluetooth) and working flawlessly for more than a year. After the iOS 7.1 update installed on my iPhone the connection has been lost and the car's Bluetooth does not recognize, and will not pair with my iPhone anymore! I noticed there were two back-to-back updates for iOS7. The first one caused intermittent interruptions and lost connections with the iPhone. The second update completely destroyed the connection between the car bluetooth and the iPhone. Any ideas on how to correct this problem would certainly be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello algee1,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with pairing your iPhone with your Acura.
In my experience, when updates are released for iOS devices, compatible devices release an update to maintain compatibility. Step 2 from the article below recommends checking with the manufacturer of your car stereo to see if there is a firmware update available for your car stereo:
2. Update software and firmware if necessary
Verify that both your car stereo and your device have the latest software versions. Contact the manufacturer to see if any updates are available. If your device does not have the latest version of the iOS, update to the latest software version.
I recommend reviewing the full article here for additional troubleshooting steps:
iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
I also recommend these steps if the issue persists after following all the steps in the previous article:
Unable to find nearby Bluetooth accessories
If a pairing record already exists, the device does not appear as discoverable. Try to connect the device using that pairing record.
If you are unable to connect using the existing pairing record, delete the record and pair again.
Ensure that the firmware or software on the Bluetooth accessory is up to date.
Ensure that the Bluetooth accessory is charged or connected to power.
Verify that the Bluetooth accessory is using a profile that works with the iOS device.
Turn off both the iOS device and the Bluetooth accessory, then turn both devices on again.
If the issue persists, test Bluetooth with another device or consult the manufacturer's documentation.

Screen flickering after iOS 6.1 update and some apps crashing frequently on my iPhone 4 .. I didn't have this in 6.0.1 back when people complained about it

hello, I had no keyboard flickering issues back when my iPhone 4 was on iOS 6.0.1 then I updated to 6.1 yesterday and now I have apps crashing frequently and keyboard flickering? anyone else having the same issue after the update? any known solution?

I'm having the same issue on my iPhone 4 since yesterday when I updated to iOS 6.1 from 5.1.1.
After about an hour after the upgrade, it crashed/rebooted itself and went completely white/grey screen with a brighter white line in the middle. My power/sleep button was broke already, so I couldn't do anything on it. I left it to drain the battery for about 6 hours. During that time, the edges around the white/grey screen became darker and darker like burn-in effect. After it ran out of the battery, I connected the phone to the PC through USB and iTunes let me restore it to iOS 6.1 firmware I downloaded before.
The restore was successful, but the entire screen keeps flickering rapidly, not just a part of the screen.
Is it hardware or software related issue?? Any idea?

T60 Laptop Doesn't Display On-Screen Volume After Hotkey Features Integration Update

I have a ThinkPad T60 (2008-HC6) laptop running Windows 8 Pro (32-bit). Today (1-24-2013), I installed the "Hotkey Features Integration for Windows 8" update that was released on January 18, 2013. After reboot, the on-screen indicator that pops up when I change the volume on my laptop by pressing the volume up, volume down, or mute keys doesn't show up. The keys work fine, but the indicator doesn't display.
I've already tried looking for a solution online. One common solution, installing Lenovo Energy Management, didn't solve my problem. No other software was changed on my laptop between when the power indicator last worked and when I installed the Hotkeys update.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I figured out the problem was with the "On Screen Display" portion of the update. This particular update has two parts to it. First, it adds the "Lenovo Patch Utility" program. Second, it updates the "On Screen Display" program, assuming that an older version was already on the computer being updated. Adding the "Lenovo Patch Utility" didn't cause any harm, but updating the "On Screen Display" prevents the on-screen volume indicator from displaying.
Ultimately, what I ended up doing was removing the "On Screen Display" with the same utility that I used to update it. Then I downloaded the next newest version of the utility and installed that utility's version of the "On Screen Display" program.
My on-screen volume indicator is now back and running fine.

IPod on iPhone 3G won't play in my car after iOS 4 upgrade

I have a 2010 Hyundai and my iPod played fine w/ the use the the Hyundai iPod cable until I upgraded to iOS 4. I used to get the airplane mode warning but once it went away it always played fine. Now instead of the airplane mode warning I get "This device is not optimized for use w/ this cable... blah, blah, blah". I then get a message on my stereo's monitor that my iPod is empty. I have not had a problem playing my music otherwise though, with either my ear buds or just through the phones speakers. I wish I had never upgraded now.
Anyone else having this problem or have any idea fixes?

I am experiencing a similar issue to you.
I have an Oct 2009 Hyundai i30 with a factory option ipod control cable which previously worked perfectly and allowed me to control my 3g iphone's ipod function through the factory head unit of the car, I could select albums, artists, individual songs, playlists etc. Now, after upgrading to ios4 I connect my iphone to the car and I get the new badge message "This accessory is not optimized for use with iPhone blah blah blah". That's fine, I hit dismiss and expect the previously available functionality. However, my iphone will play, but I can no longer scroll through anything on the head unit anymore. I can see what is playing and I can shuffle the library but that is the limit of the functionality through the head unit.
Before the upgrade I was able to scroll quickly and efficiently through say, the list of artists and choose one, then choose an album and pick a song. Now, I have to choose something on the iphone (before driving off) and then plug the phone into the car to pipe the music through the system. Having said that, the car now has to be running first, before the phone is connected for it to work.
I have tried the following to correct this:
+ Connect phone to car, hold down sleep/wake and home buttons for ten seconds, wait for apple logo, wait for phone to boot - same behaviour as described above.
+ Start car without connecting phone, choosing AUX on the system, holding down sleep/wake button for a while until slide to turn off comes up, then slide to turn off. Wait until phone is off, then connect phone to car - same behaviour as described above.
+ Sync phone to itunes again, reboot phone with sleep/wake and home button, then connect phone to car - same behaviour as described above.
This really *****. Sadly, I know, I'm not offering a solution to the problem, but as I have something, I'll post again.

IPhone 4S Won't Connect to App Store After iOS 6 Update!

After a long wait for the new iOS update when I enter the "App Store" there is a box that pops up saying that I can't connect to "App Store," that even happens while I'm connected to WIFI... Although I still can connect to "iTunes" music store!

Reset your iPhone. Hold Sleep Key and Home Key together for more than 15 sec. Now try your App Store again.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

My iPhone 4s's wi fi is not available after ios 7.1 update

I updated my iPhone 4s from 7.0.4 to 7.1 and the next morning my wifi had stopped working. It's usually greyed out and is completely unavailable. I tried restarting a couple times. One time it wasnt greyed our and let me connect to my wifi (typed in the password and everything). But as soon as I tried to load anything or refresh anything it just sat there loading until it would say connection not available. It's now greyed out again. Does anyone know if there going to be working on another update that may fix this. Or has this update fried the actual wifi chip inside my phone.

Sorry, chip or a weak solder connection has fried . This has happened rarely after every update since 1.0.1, and with every iPhone model. The update is stressful on the phone when burning the firmware and marginally functioning components may fail. Try the steps described in the support article below, but it's likely that you'll have to replace the phone.
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
Do NOT try the "freezer" or "hairdryer" methods you may see. At best they're a temporary fix and likely to do further damage to the phone.

What in the name of Goodness have you done re: the full screen picture of Contacts on my iPhone? Sort it out Apple or I'm going back to Samsung, where maybe I should have stayed!

What in the name of Goodness have you done with the full screen picture of Contacts? How dare you just change it without so much as a bye or leave? This is NOT progress but a throwback to about 1997! I supposedly 'updated' to an iPhone two weeks ago. Should have stayed with Samsung I reckon. I am deeply unimpressed!

When I updated my iPhone 4s the picture of the person calling me is no longer displayed full screen. I do not like the small thumbnail picture. What can I do about this?

When I updated my iphone 4s the picture of the person calling me is no longer displayed full screen and the thumbnail picture is too small. Is there anything I can do to change this?

Yes, hopefully.. Go to www.apple.com/ feedback and let them know how upset you are!! I did along with many others. It's the only way to let Apple know they made a HUGE mistake here..

Please make changes for contact image for for full screen... I bought Iphone Only for full screen contact image so please make changes for full screen contact image...

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

Full screen picture for contacts

I have recently upgrade to the iphone 5. I use MS Exchange to sync contacts and email. I want to have full screen picture for caller ID but it only gives me a thumbnail. Any suggestions to get full screen picture for caller ID?

It used to be that if you assigned the picture while on the phone, it was full screen. I remember reading around iOS 5 I believe that it only allowed for full screen, but I still have a couple that are only thumbnails that have been synced over from contacts in LinkedIn. Try assigning the picture from the phone itself and see if that changes it.

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?

IPhone contacts won't display full screen picture after IOS 7.1 update.
