I know how to change the call in progress background... but when someone calls me (i.e. and incoming call before I answer), a different image appears.
I have gone through every image in the windows directory and can't seem to find this image on the phone.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

You might consider the new EnCallio software at www.nikafx.com/encallio -- it's a completely configurable system for changing the incoming/outgoing caller screens.
We recently reviewed it on our site.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to increase the Font size for incoming calls from numbers that are not stored in your contacts for the JAM?
I know that if you have a number stored in my contacts, you can increase int font size/colour/add pic etc..... but when the number is not stored in the contacts, the number is displayed in the normal small font.
So How do you increase the font size for incoming calls that are not in your contacts? Whether it be 'UNKNOWN", "PRIVATE" or a new number???
Your help will be much appreciated.
Hi, try : CallerID/Tools/Options/CallerID Format/Font Size.

Hi, yes that works, but for only numbers that are already stored in contacts!
So my question still stands.... "How to increase the font size for ALL incoming calls (not just for ones already stored in contacts)???
I changed font size in Caller ID (Photo Contacts) in described dialog, but the size of name and number in incoming call bubble is still the same :-( Did I understand this thread well?
Thank for your advices...
I FOUND THE SOLUTION!!!!
follow these instructions and ALL incoming calls will be displayed in Large Font. (or whatever font size/colour you desire)
1) Start> Programes> Photo Contacts
wait a few seconds for all your contacts to load up.
2) Tools> Set Default Photos. THis will bring up new screen with the 3 default caller ID pics. (Unknown, Not-Found and Default) You have to select each one, one at a time and tap on 'Assign'
This will bring you new screen where you can select a pic. (i just used an animated .gif file of a ringing phone)
3) Once you do this, make sure you tick the box "use my font/color settings for caller ID" Then go into the Options and here you can set the Font size for all incomming calls.
There is also an option to preview your settings so making changes are easy.
I have the Font set at 25, Name of caller in Blue, Number in Red. I found this looks and fits best.
4) Repeat step 2 for the other two default and set as you please and you will have the details of all you incomming calls be displayed in your chosen font/colour.
Hope this helps.

Thanks! Ticking this "magic hidden" box solve the problem.
sorry if this is not the right place, but I have a HTC P3300 with WM6, 2 questions:
1. How do I customize the END and SEND buttons to show call history or lock the screen? registry edit or any software?
2. Also any software the lists all the missed calls on today screen or scrolls them instead of just showing the number of missed calls?
any help is appreciated.
thanks
Hi,
Whenever I have a incoming call and that person has a picture associated in my contacts, their picture get cut in half. I can see the top of the picture with the number and name. The bottom portion where you slide left to decline, right to accept, and up to text, there's no image behind it. It is just black. But when I answer or decline the call, the entirety of the picture is loaded. This problem doesn't show up when I'm making an outgoing call, just incoming. Anyone have experience the same issue or with any knowledge on how to fix this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thats how Google designed it ever since Jellybean. No idea who thought that it looked good.
Its a relatively simple fix. Someone just needs to decompile Phone.apk or whatever the current dialer is called and change the black box color to transparent.

Ah... just thought it looked funny. Thanks for the response.
My contact settings include photos in the phone app.
When those people call me their caller ID and number are shown on the incoming calling screen but not their photo.
I note that if I disable the default phone app and use a 3rd party app (True Phone), there is no caller screen at all, just ringing. Therefore, there is no way to answer the phone. So, the default phone app has to run and the incoming calling screen must be generated by that app. However, I cannot find the setting and of course I can't find any setting for including the photos.
Could someone please help me include the photos of contacts in the incoming calling screen?
Thanks
On my phone with Android 7.0, I can set a photo for a contact only if the contact info is saved in phone other than in SIM card.
After a contact photo has been set, the photo will be shown on the incoming calling screen.
I don't believe that I am using contacts from SIM but the phone.
But, how do I tell?
I can't find that setting either.
I am using Android V6.0.1 (Marshmallow).
Edit: Just noticed that a picture is indeed showing but it is so dark that I didn't notice it before. However, I also notice on the picture there is a word written saying "Unknown" in the middle of the picture. What does that mean?
Just updated the stock Phone app and the picture now shows correctly.
However, the sticking problem of the "Unknown" is still shown.
I have attached a screenshot of the phone's call screen showing the picture and the word "Unknown" in the middle". I have blurred the phone number and street name.
Hope this helps someone point me to find the cause of this.

If all your incoming calls are showing as unknown, contact your service provider and ask if there is a problem with your account (service?) as it may not be a problem in your phone.
But if only incoming calls from some particular contact are showing as unknown, contact this guy and ask if he/she has hidden his/her caller id in his/her phone settings.
For example, setting to turn off Caller ID on a Huawei P9 as below.
Open Phone app,
then tap Menu icon > Settings > Additional Settings > Caller ID > Hide Number
Be aware that the number is only hidden on Voice calls not on SMS/MMS.
I think I may have tracked down the problem.
It's not the account or service provider.
I use a 3rd party lock screen (Start). I didn't think about looking at this because the incoming caller screen is generated by the default google phone app. But, if I disable the Start lock screen and go to the default screen the incoming caller screen does not have the "Unknown" banner. Therefore, I believe that the Start lock screen intercepts the incoming caller screen and inserts the "Unknown" banner for some reason. I am unable to find any setting in Start to remove this so I have emailed the authors and now have to wait for their response.
While I am on the incoming caller screen, where can I find the settings for the incoming caller screen?
I'm looking for a way to show each call's date and time. Is there an app for that?
EDIT - Verizon stock
I'm interested in this question : I record my call with Skvalex's Call Recorder, so I can get those informations from here, but I'd rather get them directly from the call app.
I might install Skvalex's Call Recorder just for the history date and time. I don't care if it actually records the conversation which I read is a problem with non-rooted phones.
I downloaded it from their website instead of the store
It's hard to believe that phone lacks such a basic feature. All the Samsung's I've used have it.
At least on A10, on the center "Recents" tab it will show the date - if you want the time, tap the call you want then tap "History".
Another way is from that same tab, click the top right 3 dots, then call history, tap call, then "Call Details".
But if you are looking for a list of all the call date/times already displayed, then I agree the default phone app doesn't make it easy to see which calls came in on which date.

I dont see the issue. If I go into my call history (of my stock dialler), click on a call which then expands to show a sub menu, which I can then click on "history", which has all the dates/times to that number.
