iOS 7.1 no longer shows full screen contact photos


Recommended Posts

I saw this in some of the screenshots on Apple's ios7.1 page, they could have changed it, since the full screen photos are a direct copy of Windows Phone.

That's what I was thinking. I believe Apple's cross-licensing deals prevent them from using each others ideas straight up.

Can confirm that the iPhone 3G (iOS 2) had full screen images. I wrote a bug on Google's site as when syncing contacts to them they one day shrunk the images. Presumably to make them compatible with Android. From that day onwards syncing to Google on iPhone resulted in your images looking awful.

 

Not my thread but you can at least see comments on it in 2009.

Indeed.  Primary reason I use iCloud for my contacts.

I am pretty sure that Nokia did that in 2002 or so.  Since Microsoft owns that patent portfolio......

I also think that Windows Phone 6 did that as well.  I am scratching my head to remember that one for sure.

Why people care about who did something as trivial as showing a picture full-screen first is beyond me.

Bit off topic, but another issue that I've found is that my location services seem to be constantly on and that when you double tap the home button (to see the open apps) it used to have the current open app in the middle and everything else to the left and right, now it seems the most current app is off to the left.

I'm not sure either.  Was someone proclaiming from a mountain somewhere that iOS was the very FIRST to do this and angered the people in the valley,  or what?

Well I made a separate post because it's not the same issue but the mods locked it. I don't get a small circle for caller ID, I get no graphic at all.

 

Here is one that used to get a picture. I blacked out her last name and the white is just the Apple logo in my wallpaper.

they'll bring it back on the new iphone to give people more reasons to upgrade

 

"And now we announce a revolution in seeing who is calling you!"

Blame Apple for patenting a rectangle with round corners and going mental with lawsuits!!

If you're going to thumbnail, why cut out so much of the photo by using a circle?

 

The circles ARE ridiculous.  I don't think they look nice.  Looks like wasted space to me.

Ok.  So long as you feel justified in bringing these OT discussions into the thread, I guess that makes it ok.  Damn Apple!

Couldn't agree more.  Where this trend has come from, I have no idea, but it's ridiculous!

What a completely unrelated argument.

Co_Co: Full screen photos on the call screen have been an iOS feature since before windows phone 7 or android even existed

I don't even see a circle, no image of the caller's picture at all. I verified the contact has a picture and when they call nothing is displayed. No image at all anywhere.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
