[Q] Incoming Caller ID Picture is Cut in Half? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Missed call notification

Small annoyence...
Is there anyway to disable the missed call notification when you press "ignore" on a call? So that I don't need to press ignore, then notification left softkey, then dismiss right softkey everytime i ignore a call
It would be useful that way the notification icon would only appear when I acually miss something or get SMS.

I hate that too. I've been trying to mess with all kinds of things to no avail.
No one? /bump
-Oops double post
Or what about something that when "ignore" is pressed the call is forwarded to another number something that you can set up a recording like "please *** k Off" or the rejected number
Same problem.
If You set up some call filter then you have one ring, then reject call if You do not want to answer, then You have notificitaion for rejected call.
this looks like a feature that could and should be included into PhoneAlarm...maybe we should request on their forum
I need help for fix too

Change Incoming Call Background? (not call progress)

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.

How are SMS notifications displayed in ICS?

I've put ICS on my developer phone to play about with (not the Nexus) and I was wondering how it looks to people when they get an SMS message.
After coming across this screenshot, I thought that when you got a text, the contact picture of your friend would be displayed at the left, as is the case for Andy Rubin at the bottom.
However, I find mine are displayed like Hiroshi Lockheimer, with just the icon on a patterned background.
I really like the little contact picture, so is it displayed this way on the Nexus S or is there a way to turn it on? Why would Google show 2 different things in their screenshots?
Cheers.
Mine looks like the one with Hiroshi too. This person has a picture in my contacts as well. I didn't test it with her GoogleChat.
Same here, I get the sms icon, no contact pictures. Same for google talk. And I was wondering if this feature didn't make it in the release.
Thanks for checking that out for me! It's odd because I have a picture set too but mine displays the same...I'd have thought it would display the contact photo.
As far as I can see from that screenshot, Hiroshi and Andy are both texts? Maybe it's a third party app...does Handcent do that maybe?
Talk displayed the default picture. Could be my slow connection? Then when I clicked the notification it showed her picture.
Has anyone got the picture displayed for SMS notifications? It seems like a cool feature.
Same thing happens with my Nexus S too....tried multiple AOSP builds of ICS and the official release and still no contact pictures in the sms notifications It does show for gtalk notifications though. I have tried searching for a fix but haven't found anything yet.

[Q] Stock Text Messaging Question

In the stock texting app, when looking at the texts between you and someone, it will show the pic/avatar of the person you are texting but my own sent texts only shows my pic as the default shadow head. How can I make it show my pic? Silly question but it's been bugging me for months.

Go into Your contacts list. At the very top there is a contact called "Me". Insert your picture there and it will display when you text someone.

[Q] Nexus 5 Dialer diaplay on receive

Hi all,
When I receive an incoming call on my phone, the top third of the screen shows the callers picture. However, the bottom part of the image is cut in half and not scaled to fit the area. The area below this point is all black with just a picture of a phone in a circle at the bottom half of the screen. I then slide the phone to the right to reveal the options to answer the call.
I've not had a nexus before but have ran third party AOSP ROM's and I'm sure the top half used to display the caller picture in full or at least the silhouette person for contacts without pictures rather than cropping them off. I'm also sure that a circle animation used come outwards from the centre of the phone icon when the phone rang to indicate how to answer.
Can someone confirm what I should see when I receive a call as I'm sure mine is not right. Do you see the circle animation on receipt of calls? Here is the screen shot.
Thanks
Steve
Resolved. Factory reset sorted the issue.
