Hey everyone, the Touch functions on my Prophet are working great for the most part, but I want to know how big the pictures for the contacts have to be. I find that when I let the PDA resize pictures automatically they become blurry or just too sharpened to look good. I really would like to have good looking pictures in the cube.
Does anyone know the best resolution or mode to place pictures in your contact list?

I am using the XDA Mobile 6 r2a ROM and all is well except the dialer.
The contact's picture shows up very tiny. So my question is which
dialer for WM6 shows the largest picture?
Ummm..... Now I'm using NBD 8.0, very nice. May decide to keep vs cooking my own. All it needs IMO is MuN keyboard, Calc lite & Novii remote toy!
Still question is, which dialer shows the largest / biggest / contact / picture / photo? So far I'm seeing teeny tiny contact pics and that's not too great.
I HAVE searched these posts but I keep missing! ANY help would be appreciated.

Show us a nice screen capture
Depends on which picture you want bigger. When someone is calling you and there number pops up, and you have a photo associated with them, if that is what you want big, then I would leave it at the default wm6 dialer. Not the one you have, which I believe is from the HTC touch rom. Now if you mean the photo on the dialer itself when you are making a call or on a call, Then the biggest picture I've seen is using Pauly Eten Dialer Classics. They show a very big picture on the dialer itself. Hope that helps
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a shot this week and report my results.
I guess this normally isnt such an issue but Ive been using the slide2unlock program which is pretty neat. Anyways it can do full screen caller id pictures which is great. However, it ends up just zooming in on my picture and looks like crap. The pic I used is a 2mp picture so its gotta be fairly large (well larger than the screen thats for sure)... Anyways anyway in general to get higher quality images out of WM6? And if anyone know in relation to Slide2Unlock as well that would be great
Thanks
anyone know?
do u have the link to this program?
I guess to save space the phone saves the contact picture with certain compression and size. Slide2Unlock just use the contact picture that you have assigned to that contact and stretches it because it's too small.
I belive you have no option to use a bigger image, it's a OS "feature" to save space/memory and improve speed.
But I may be extremely wrong.
It's not what is asked, but I suggest you to use Photo Contact Pro
with the caller id actived... in the S2U the image in fullscreen mode.... its to bad like a gaussing blur image... i re-size for 150x159 pixels... and the problem is the same...
how to have a highehr quality images in the caller id..... thanx

I hope there are useful info in there.
I've been messing with Wizard TNT5.0 TouchFlo and I realized that my contact pictures in the Cube were looking a bit... blocky. Except for the ones that I took pictures of using the "Contact Picture" mode in camera. Obviously that's the resolution I should be using, right?
Wrong.
I tried converting these pictures (the ones that seem blocky) to the same resolution as pictures taken under "contact picture", which is 320x240 96dpi. When I did just that, I got the same results.
This pixilish look also looks the same in Slide2Unlock's fullscreen Caller ID. It doesn't look like that with pictures taken with "contact picture".
Now my question is...
Is there some other resolution I should be looking at? Is there something I'm missing?
Or maybe there's a program that can help me convert these pixilish pictures to the right resolution for the cube and Slide2Unlock.
Thanks guys. As a digital imager myself this is irritating me.
I think i found the answer in the touch form: it is from a guy called mangakun

Thanks to PocketCM for solving this annoying quality problem.

And it works ok but i found that when you resize them 260h_240w they are even better and more on scale
for slide2unlock i don't have the answer because i am not using it anymore.
there is a mode mode of Camera application that is capturing pictures in proper aspect ratio and size.

260x240 seems a bit odd. I'll check it out. So far 320x240 really isn't working out for me though, I don't know why...
You good folks!
I was wondering if someone could take some pictures of the pro with they keyboard slid out.
Basically I want to see the back of the screen, when the keyboard is extended. I can't seem to find any pictures like that in any reviews, they all seem to be "glamour shots".
I wanna see what the sliding mechanism looks like!
Please! Help my sanity!
Take a look at this review. It has a 360-degree zoomable view of the unit with the keyboard open, so it might show you what you're looking for. (You have to wait a few seconds before the 360-degree view finishes downloading and appears.)
Nice, thanks!!!
Hey guys,
I'm not sure if this has already been asked, couldn't find it but if it has, just remove it.
Is there a possibility/program/tweak to use the camera when assigning a picture to a contact like on the iPhone? What I mean is when you add a new contact who just gave you his number you just click on the picture symbol and instead of the pictures directory, the camera opens and you can directly take a photo of the person. Should be possible by editing the registry? Would be great if someone could help with that!
Regards
Which WinMobile and UI version are you using? 6.5 with Manila 2.1+ offers the picture directory in thumbnail form, and the first icon is a camera icon. Click that, and you can take (and crop immediately after) a new photo.
Hey thanks for the answer! I figured it out for my UI, I'm using WM6.5 and Titanium and recently installed PhoneEx which offers this function which I found out after some trying So, thanks and question answered
Regards
