I there any way to increase the size of the Contact picture shown while getting call?
Ive noticed theres a grey line thru the photos when I assign a photo to a contact. Likes like the upper half of the photo has a glare. Is there a way to remove this so the photo looks normal? Thanks.
Hi there!
One of my "problems" I have with the S2 is that i can't seem to be able to properly fit a picture on my screen.
Whenever i set a picture as wallpaper it will be zoomed in.
Is there a way i can fit a picture in its original size (so the whole picture can be seen) on the screen?
Many thanks,
Peter
If you are trying to set a scrollable wallpaper on a single portrait screen then it's not possible, but otherwise you have to click on the portrait icon, then drag the orange lines to the furthest corner of the picture, then set it.
There it goes "wrong", whenever i do that in portrait mode, and I select the part i want and set it as wallpaper... the result will be that it is zoomed in.
For example as i drag the orange lines around my girlfriend and I set it... it will only show me the chest, stomach and a part of the legs instead of the whole body.

You need 480 x 800 resolution photos/wallpapers to fit in portrait mode, any other resolution will slightly distort or won't fit on the screen.
I always crop my pictures in photoshop to 960x800 for wallpaper and 480x800 for lockscreen wallpaper. All WVGA androids use these resolutions.
I just checked, i dont loose any of my picture in that resolution.
Hope this helps.
The screens resolution is 480x800, not 960x800, the latter is for scrollable wallpapers, which I never use. So if someone wants to use a full picture set to one screen then he/she should use a wallpaper of phones resolution, i.e- 480x800

I have this same problem, i have resorted to just using the scrollable crop button and knowing that I'll lose the edges. There's certainly some sort of bug regarding this.
I have a photo taken with the SG2 camera that is 480x800. When I set wallpaper, I select portrait mode (non-scrollable, single photo).
However, the actual wallpaper is still zoomed in and I don't know why. Portrait-mode wallpapers seem to be broken, the phone wants to stretch photos into scroll-mode size even though it is not selected.
The lock screen wallpaper works fine.
Anyone know a fix?
Edit: The same problem is described here and also for other phones, no answer yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121133
Edit: I have a fix, but it's not a good one. Using a photo editor, add 240x800 pixels to either side of your image. This will produce a 960x800 image. Set this as your scrollable wallpaper (this will not work if you select portrait-mode). Then, use your launcher options to disable wallpaper scrolling.
If you are using stock launcher it should work. If your pic is 480 x 800, select portrait mode , drag the orange lines to fit the whole screen and your pic won't zoom in. The way Samsung uses this feature is crappy anyway. I gotta try 2-3 times before i can adjust the orange lines to fit the screen, without pic being zoomed-in.
One thing i love about ICS and JB is it has vastly improved the Caller images, those low res small images used to really get my goat! Using Hax Sync on ICS was able to get pretty good images and on JB i think the native resolution of the images is even higher because they seem to be a lot sharper. I still dont get the wierd way on which google has decided to splice the photo in the people app / contact menu tho, usually manages to cut of the head or something ,, seem completely illogical for me, tho again Hax Sync and its face detect feature to the rescue .. somewhat atleast ! :victory:
However another issue i see is the black background which pops up on incoming calls which covers about 60 % of the screen. This completely covers the image and defeats the purpose of having these beautiful high res photos of ppl synced to your phone.
Is there anyway around this which can either reduce the size and coverage of this black background or alternately control its translucence?
Any ROMs / Mods out there that address this ?
Would appreciate any suggestion on this..
Thanks

Here check out this screen shot, as you can see, almost 75% of the screen is taken up by the opaque black background and the top by the translucent caller id banner, leaving just a thin slice of the screen for the caller photo..
Any devs have / can work on mods for this?
Hi everyone,
I have strange problem with my Huawei Nova Plus. A few contact pictures of mine are blurry when they are calling me. When I enter the contact I see their picture in almost half of the screen. I'll attach pictures below. When calling them again blurry picture on full size screen. The most of my contacts have a little picture in circle. And when I am calling or they are calling me I see a solid color and small picture in circle. When creating contact the picture is big and full size is blurry.
Here what I tried to resolve the problem:
Tried to remove google synchronize with contacts;
To remove contacts and create again;
To remove few of them from favorites and remove picture. When do that there shows little picture in circle but for few seconds and after returns to big.
Please, tell me how to resolve this problem. See the pictures below.

http://imgur.com/a/wFfKx It is big picture on contact details.
http://imgur.com/a/dzuUd It is a small picture on calling or receiving calls.

You need to go on contact and press take new picture so you have picture in your phones gallery otherwise it wont show up as whole picture cause the picture u have is probably not in phone gallery
Yes, that is true. I realized that when I am dialing to person who picture I have on gallery the pic is blurry. But when this person call me the pictures is bright. I think that is not bug of the phone.
