Hi I've noticed that some contacts have a large contact picture that fills up the top half of the screen but others will only display a smaller picture in the middle.
Is there a way to get all my contacts to display a larger image on the default call screen?
Contacts are synced using Haxsync so all of them have HQ photos.
Thanks in advance.

hi all
have the same q
I noticed that if I add a picture to a contact directly from the device, the image appears at full screen in the dialer but if the image coming from Google a small square appears
How can I change the setting that all images Will display at all the screen?

I believe that this is because the contact picture is converted to a low resolution when backed up to Google, even though the original is high resolution. That's why the picture is small when you restore from Google.
It is true, same happened for me. When pictures got downloaded from google at first, they were small, then synced with facebook and they are full size.

I'm using stock Xperia for Facebook app, it just synced like that. But you need to have contacts with exact same name. When I had Galaxy S3 with AOSP I used app named SyncMe which worked very well after turning off bell and whistles like in call UI and such. I can recommend it.

Hey guys, I have a rooted 2.1 Xperia x10, and I've removed media and timescape
But now I can't manage to import a contact's picture from the gallery, it only works when I take a new photo by choosing "camera".
How can I fix this? Tried to download other galleries to show when choosing "pictures", but it just does nothing.
Did you not research before removing apps?
Have you searched the forum for an apk?

not sure where you read that but its not correct. you can only do this with mediascape. one of the only reasons i still have it installed.
So you can't do this on normal android versions without mediascape ?
Use Full Screen Caller ID application.
Attach images to your contacts and then uninstall it (if you don't need to use the full screen caller ID feature).
any other app to do that? I believe full screen caller ID is not free, and there's a free version but very limited.
Komodo is a complete phonebook replacement (incl. picture-setting)
"Dialer one" works as a good replacement for the dialer-function.
but you dont need to replace the dialer.
Thing is those apps need to be constantly running, right? And there it goes my speed....

Looks like I'm not the only one who uninstalled Timescape and Mediascape no matter what But there is still a way to assign pictures to contacts in quite comfortable way. I downloaded that Gallery app (from somewhere on this forum), which enables you to use the standard android gallery by adding its icon into app drawer. Once in the gallery, just select the pic you want to assign, tap "others" or something like that and select "Set as contact picture". It lets you trimm that picture and then it assigns it to the selected contact. So basically it works only in one direction: gallery -> contact list, but not the other (contact list -> gallery -> contact list again), because that default contact list was obviously paired with Mediascape only. Anyway, I find this as a good solution as you have to install almost nothing (except the gallery app, but you always need some kind of gallery and that default one looks damn good! ).
That's Great! Could you please send me the link to this app?

Thank you!
It blows me away that I'm asking this question still in 2011! I had the issue on WM a few years back and figured Google would allow their contact pics to be bigger by now.
After searching for quite a while, it looks to me like the only solution is to not sync your contacts with GMail. Has anyone found a way around this? 96x96 makes for a horrible looking full-screen caller-id.
depends, if they are on facebook syncmypix works. had some luck with motoblurs syncing.
Possible solution
Theres an app in the market place called Full Screen Caller ID FREE which can take over the screen when calls come in. It allows you to specify larger pics for contacts. It still uses the Motoblur Dialer for basic functionality like in call stuff.

Thanks for the idea...
...tried it...started off well...took a while and added all my contact pics in...but it chooses a small portion of each picture to use as the default picture in the rest of the phone. Its usually not even a recognizable part of the picture. So now I have random sections for all my contacts....and only full pictures for when I'm receiving a call. Which isn't that important to me. I like to use the pictures when dialing. It would seem with today's screen resolutions Google would have an option to leave pictures full size on phone, and only shrink them down for web use.

you can disable the picture option for your contacts so that it uses the original small-size photo you had for that contact before. got o settings -> miscellaneous and uncheck "Overwrite android picture"
i like the app, only complaint is i'm not a big fan of the answer screen layout.

Just to be sure before I change anything...are you talking about settings inside 'Full-Screen CallerID' app istself, or a Google setting on the GMail side of things?
EDIT: Found setting in app...thanks.
Hi guys
I know this question has been asked before but can anyone give me a clear answer on contact pictures on the Xperia S? Is it actually possible to get large contact pictures to appear with the stock Xperia dialler? I've already tried out Full Screen Caller ID as a solution but it's pretty rubbish. I've used SyncMyPix by Neil Loknath and turned off syncing with Google Contacts (as I know this reduces the quality to 96x96 resolution apparently) and the pictures are high-quality but then only appear in a small square on the Xperia dialler.
Mine stretch to full screen width with a gray gradient overlaying the bottom when actually in call, but is it that you want them like that in just the contact view?
Anyways, dialler will no doubt change with ICS which is coming within 3 weeks(all going to plan sonys end) so just wait for that.
Well when I dial/receive a call the contact picture is in a small square in the middle of the screen with the person's name above it but when there is no contact picture assigned to the contact there is a nice large generic image of a person which stretches across the screen

Why do the images for the contacts show up as dots? Is there any way to get rid of the dots?
Did you set any photos for your contacts or you just want to get rid of the default avatar? If the second thing, I am not sure if it's possible with the stock dialer.

Because Sense doesn't show full resolution contact photos when syncing from Google. You have to re-add the photos again. Or, go to CyanogenMod to get your full resolution contact photos from when you first synced them.
Hey guys.
I'm coming from using the Galaxy S3, and the default application (Gallery) was beautiful, in that I could manage my photos (delete, move, copy etc).
Also, everything was easily accessible because it was all organised in folders, where as this seems like a cluster**** to me, where I can't even find the pictures that I just took, unless I looked really hard for them.
Isn't any of this possible in the Album application on the Z2?
TIA

That's why I don't use the default Album app, and switched to using QuickPic instead.
