N8 contact photo problem

Hi! I bought this smartphone a few weeks ago and I've been having some issues with contact photos.
I synced them with Socially app, and I've been having the following problems:
- When I have an incoming call from any number that is not registered in my contacts, the photo a of a friend I do have in my contacts shows up in the screen.
- For the contact of that specific friend, his picture is shown correctly in the contact widget, but there is no photo for him in the agenda. Instead, there is a black space.
- Whenever someone changes his Facebook profile picture, after syncing, the photo in the contact list changes, but it doesn't in the widget.
Besides, I've been having a problem with Battery Monitor. After the first time I turned the phone off and on again, it stopped working. It says "Analyzing", "Active usage time (-1%)".
Thanks in advance for your help!

Have you tried removing both widgits, restarting, then adding the widgets back.

  • N8 contacts photos problem - big image size

    So I attached photos to my contacts using ovi suite. I used various size photos, some from camera, some from FB, some from somewhere else. But I have few problems:
    First - photos appear correct in phone book, but then I make or receive call image is zoomed in and I usually see callers chest, shoulder or whatever else, but not face, this also reduce image quality for some reason. And all images I attached is at least 640x480.
    Second - apparently ovi suite doesn't resize images and just save images in original size. This means, if i take photo of my friend and then attach it to his contact, it will take up 1MB or more depending on camera.
    And we come to third - there is no indication of resolution used in contacts photos, so I can't even resize all images manually (despite the fact, that this would be absurd anyway).
    Conclusion: it take a bit of time for images to load in contact book, because of bigger resolution, than required; no idea what that resolution is; photos are big enough but still got zoomed in during calls.
    Please if someone knows the solution, tell me. I've been googling around for about two weeks, with no luck..
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I tried what Symbian_fan suggested and it works fine. However, images in contacts still doesn't load instantly (probably firmware problem), but size reduced from 1MB to 250KB for for 24 images I experimented on. If anyone wants to modify photos in computer (what I suggest if you have many contacts), N8 uses 290x290 resolution for images of contacts.
    On the other hand, I still haven't tested adding 290x290 photos via Ovi Suite. There is posibility that it still can mess up images. I'll probably try latter and report back.

  • I have a feeling this has been up here a lot.  I updated ios 6 to my phone with no problems but I also back my phone up.  I decided to help the wife out and update hers and something went wrong data lost.  All contacts, photos, etc without backup, help.

    if you have no back up in icloud or itunes the best you can do is sync with your computer and get back  what you can from there

    It was changed in iOS 7. No idea if it was an intentional change or not.
    Apple has not stated anything about it.

  • Why do my contact photos keep getting assigned to the wrong person/number?

    This has happened to me twice recently:  my phone rings and the wrong contact photo appears with the wrong phone number.  All my contact photos are assigned to the wrong person/phone number.  Any ideas on what's going on?  Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply.
    Can I get this straight in my mind? Does this mean that I will have to put ALL the photos stored on my Laptop into ONE  large folder, then divide it up into sub-folders? Then I can copy each sub-folder?
    Sorry to sound stupid, but most things I try on my ipod don't seem to work for me. I think I am getting a bit old for all this.....lol.
    .......Actually thinking back, a while back I did click on my main folder called "Nikon" and that did copy everything in it, but just in one whole lot, ie 1,000 photos.........................so nothing was sub-divided into folders, ie. holiday 2010, holiday 2011. Is that another problem I have created for myself?
    Thanks for your patience.

  • I got my ipod restored, how do I get my stuff back? I dont know if i backed it up? how to get my contacts/photos back?

    My ipod touch 4 has been freezing/shutting down alot so i press the top and middle button to restart it. Its been a while since i plugged my ipod to itunes so i just did and there was a problem syncing/connecting to itunes? I had to restore it, and when i did everything is gone! All my contacts,& photos. I got my music back by syncing it. but i dont think i backed up my contacts/photos??? how can i get these stuff back? and i use pinger/textfree for texting so is there a way i can get contacts back with that?

    - If you backed up  then restore from backup. On your computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if you have a backup dated before you had the problem. On the restored iPod go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup and see if you have aback dated before the problem.
    - You may be able to get back some of your photos if you do not have a backup:
    Using Photo Stream
    For more information about using Photo Stream to import your photos to your computer, see Photo Stream FAQ.
    After your photos have been imported from your Camera Roll or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.
    - For contacts if you do not have a backup is to sync them to the program (Google contacts) that you used before. If you do not have one then you can't get them back.

  • After updating to iOS 7 the contact photos no longer appear when I receive a call. How can I get them to show again?

    After updating to iOS 7 the contact photos no longer appear when I receive a call. How can I get them to show again?

    I'm having the identical problem on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 7--no ability to update apps or download new apps.  Here is what Apple tech support emailed to me:
    I understand that you are unable to download or update applications after updating iOS7 on your iTunes. I know you must be eager to get this resolved and I will be happy to help you today.
    ... to help you better with this issue I would request you to please try this steps given below to resolve your issue.
    Please follow this steps:
    1) Double tap the home button
    2) Hold down on an icon
    3) Tap the red "X" on iTunes, and the App Store.
    4) Tap Settings > Store > Tap your Apple ID, and choose sign out
    5) Tap Settings
    6) Tap General
    7) Tap Reset
    8) Tap Network Settings
    Once it has been closed with multi-tasking, and you have rebooted the device in the network settings reset, please sign in, and try again. 
      Howevr, if you are facing the same issue than for this issue, you may need to call our AppleCare technical support team. A technical Advisor will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support. The technical Advisor can also assist you in determining what option might be most helpful to you in this case.
    Mildly amusing that the instructions for force-closing a program are the IOS 6 instructions, which do not work on IOS 7. 
    Otherwise I'm having a little success with this.  Some apps (not all) are updating. It seems that a few more apps update each time I go through the process (close everything, sign out, and either reset or reboot, then go to the app store, sign in and try to update all).  So far it has been a very lengthy, iterative process. 

  • Adding a contact photo to a contact on iPhone breaks ActiveSync to Exchange

    This is a weird one... I have a user who has an original iPhone, we just upgraded her to 2.0 a week ago. She noticed that she lost her contact photos when we replaced her contacts with those stored on exchange. She added them back to the contacts on the phone and everything appeared fine. The problem came when she went to add an email address to a contact (which had a photo). It did not update on the iPhone.
    Adding a contact on the iphone synced, and modifying a contact that did not have photo synced. Modifying a contact on the computer (one which was not syncing to phone) synced to webmail, so that part of the sync (desktop to exchange) was working. If you remove the picture, it starts syncing again. Issue persists in 2.0.1.
    I will test on a iPhone 3G tomorrow and see if the problem persists on all phones and exchange accounts. Can anyone verify this on their setup? If it is not a problem for you are you using exchange 2007?
    Thanks!
    Setup:
    Exchange 2003 SP2
    Entourage 2004
    First Gen 8GB iPhone
    Workaround:
    Either remove photos, or disable active sync for contacts, enable syncservices to sync to OS X address book, and sync via cable.

    UPDATE: OK, today I tested with 3G iPhone, and there is no issue at all syncing (in fact, the contact picture appears as an attachment to the contact if viewed in webmail).
    I then setup another 1st Gen iPhone to the same exchange server, add a photo to the contact, made a change to the contact, and have the same problem -- no sync after photo added, syncs when photo is removed. I even deleted (from Entourage) a contact that I had added a picture to on the phone, and that change did not go to the iphone until I deleted the photo (Waited about 5 minutes). About 20-30 seconds after deleting the photo on the contact, it recognized that the contact was deleted from the exchange side, and pushed the deletion to the phone where it when poof right before my eyes like it's supposed.
    This is kind of baffling since you'd think the software is the same between the first gen and 3G after 2.0, but the problem is very re-creatable for me...]

  • Syncing contact photos between Outlook 2011 for Mac and the rest

    Hello, I installed Office for Mac 2011 and when it synced the contacts (through Exchange), most of the contact photos now no longer show in OWA or in Outlook 2013 from my Windows PC's. They are not lost: In Outlook 2013 (for windows) they appear instead
    under "Notes", in the form of a thumbnail jpeg. On my Mac, however, the photos show up correctly. None of my windows accounts (e.g., windows phone) now show any photos any longer. I tried some troubleshooting: I deleted all my contacts from everything,
    and imported them back to Outlook for Mac and synced them, but the photos still show only under "notes" in the Windows accounts.
    How can I solve the issue? I see the same problem reported by other people, but I am not aware of a resolution.

    Hi,
    I think we can go to the Microsoft Office for Mac forum:

  • Nokia 6300, iSync, and Contact Photos-

    Thanks to the following links, I was able to get my new Nokia 6300 to successfully sync with my Mac’s Address Book via iSync:
    http://klauskjeldsen.dk/2007/06/08/free-nokia-6300-isync-plugin/
    http://nokia6300.net/8/new-version-of-the-nokia-6300-isync-plugin
    http://brent.kearneys.ca/technology/2007/how-to-sync-a-nokia-6300-on-osx/
    http://kaspers.freeflux.net/blog/archive/2007/04/13/how-to-isync-a-nokia-6300.html
    Unfortunately, two things didn’t sync up: Birthdays and Contact Photos. After politely asking people if there was any way to get these to work (especially photos, as it’s nice to see someone’s picture pop up on the phone for faster recognition before you unceremoniously reject them) I tried to tackle this one on my own. I was able to dig around in the plist files of the Nokia N93 and glean the few lines that make both of these details available to the Nokia 6300 plugin.
    Before we begin however, I’ve noticed some problems that can occur with Photo syncing. PLEASE READ THIS THOROUGHLY before continuing: it’ll save some head-banging and frustration later.
    Failing to follow the following guidelines will result in a completely failed sync. Should this happen, I simply deleted all of my contacts on the phone (phone memory, not SIM card), tried to determine the problem, and tried again.
    Also, note that if you do end up deleting all of the contacts on your phone, you’ll also lose your 1-touch dialing and the entries in your caller groups (but not the groups themselves).
    Here we go:
    Do not use .GIF files — JPG only! (I didn’t test PNG)
    You cannot drag-and-drop from a web-page directly onto a contact. Although this works for Address Book in that you’ll see the ‘image edit’ window pop-open, and you can save your contact, when it comes to iSync your entire sync will fail. If you want to use someone’s image (from Facebook, for example) simply drag the photo you want from the web-page onto your desktop, and then drag the photo from your desktop onto the Address Book entry’s ‘contact photo’ area. You’re then free to delete the image from your desktop.
    You cannot sync with a ’smart group’ that you created within Address Book. This has more to do with iSync than the new plugin, but it’s a pain nonetheless. Physical groups only!
    When a sync fails, you are not told what failed, or why it failed. iSync detailed logs are useless too, stating only:
    5:28:24 PM Error [Nokia 6300] An unexpected error occured.
    5:28:24 PM Error Device "Nokia 6300" synchronization failed
    Fun! What I did was create a ‘temp’ group, set iSync to sync with that folder only for contacts, and then slowly add contacts into that temp group until a failure occurred so that I knew what the offending entry was.
    The plugin that I’ve created is essentially just the one from the site listed above, but with some additional properties put into the PhoneContuit.plist and SyncEngine.plist files.
    As with everyone else, I take no responsibility if this completely fcks up your phone or Address Book, but please do backup both your Address Book (File -> Back Up Address Book…) and your phone’s contacts (I typically just copy everything to SIM). I can say that this has worked fine for me for a day now, with a fair bit of testing. After I cleaned up my offending image-entries, it’s been great.
    To install: Quit iSync, download the following zip file, and drag-and-drop the plugin into your system using the shortcut, and sync away.

  • Vertically Distorted Contact Photos

    For some reason, mine and my girlfriend's contact photos get vertically distorted on OS X. Our default address book, as it is default on Lion now, is our iCloud address book. Our photos are standard iPhone sized photos. Shouldn't OS X crop instead of distort?

    hey ed,
    I have been using this feature for quite a while now and I never encountered this problem. So I do not think code is faulty. That leaves with 3 options:
    1. either handset has some issue in which case a visit to nearest nokia service center might be a good idea.
    2. you might want to upgrade the firmware version if its not already v3.0546.2.3 or above.Mine is v3.0546.2.3.
    you can check ur firmware version by typing *#0000#
    3. Highly unlikely but if the phone memory is heavily loaded there is a possibility of distortion of image due to increased processing time and the time it needs to stabilise the image is more than the time it takes for u to pick that call. try reducing the memory size.

  • Distorted Contact Photos

    Ok its a relatively minor issue - but it still bugs me.
    My contact photos (synced with phone via pc) look fine in the address book, but when I phone someone/they phone me, the photo displayed is heavily distorted.
    Anyone have ideas how i can resolve this mildly irritating aspect of my phone?
    Cheers

  • Contact photo's show us too large?

    Not a big deal but just wondering if anyone else is experiencing or have even noticed when some of your contacts call you their contact photo is too big for the screen? Like it was resized or something? I upgraded from 3G to IP4 so I'm sure that's the problem but is it a photo compatibility issue or something else?

    Hello. I'm having the *exact same issue* since restoring up my iPhone 4 as a new phone.
    When a call comes in or when calling someone on my contact list, the photo associated with the contact person is *skewed larger*. Too big for the screen.
    Other than resizing every photo in your contact list, have you found a fix for this issue yet?
    Thanks.
