So here I am with a 240x320 screen on my AT&T Tilt and a phone call comes in and up pops a tiny window with small text telling me who is calling. Is there any thing out there that can make this larger? I'm not getting any younger (eyesight getting worse fast) and larger text or a full screen photo from contacts would be nice.
I know there are others but Photo Contacts Pro keeps poping into my mind. If I remember I'll post back with the others.

Use S2U2. There is a config program to set caller ID photo to full screen
What is S2U2?
I just got my Tilt yesterday, and would like to improve some of the features....Thanks!

S2U2 (Slide to Unlock)works brilliantly on my Vario III, with full screen photo of incoming caller.
I have tried Photo Contacts Pro, but I felt it was overkill for just the big photo on incoming calls, I prefer to use PocketCM or Finger Friendly Friends as my contacts app.
Inesoft works great and acts as a phone book as well.

I would like to have Pictures for incoming calls and dialing . But on my Tytn II/Kaiser I only have pictures in the dialer and call log showing up from time to time, but mostly not. I have now read about PhotoContact pro and its function to display big pictures for the incoming call. But before installing some questions:
- Has anybody the native WM6 dialer working to show contact pictures when dialing ?
- Has anybody tested PhotoContact pro on WM6 and how is the experience ?
- As Photo Contact pro has profiles for Ring tone and alarms.. do they work with or disrupt Phone Alarm profiles ?
Thanks for any advice !

Does anyone know of a dialer which displays a larger contacts photo. The size of photo in the standard T-Mobile dialer is tiny. Also the pop up notification window on an incoming call doesn't show any photo. A large picture of the caller would be great for screening calls. I used to use a modded Eten dialer on my Wizard which did have a slightly larger picture but afaik it is WM5 and does not support video calling.

Are there any Kaiser compatible dialers which display a larger contacts photo?
I used to use this and it worked nicely:

It also had good profile management, blocking features etc.
I can't be bothered to install it now that the HTC Home has contact pictures on it though...
I have used "Slide 2 Unlock" on mine which is available on this forum. There is a registry setting on this that will allow you to have a full screen picture of the incoming call contact as a background with the incoming phone number providing you have a photo for the caller stored. It works very well and it's free!
I'm now using "Inesoft Address Book" and I'm quite happy about it.

I installed this last night (v0.86) and it is working brilliantly. What with S2U2, PocketCM, PocketCM keyboard, HTC Album I feel like a little Apple fan boy. I didn't start out to clone the iPhone look&feel I just wanted a responsive, intuitive, user friendly interface for commonly used features.
I guess I didn't either but it's hard not to like some of these iphone type apps. It's a bit like having the best of both worlds, but what I will say is that I tried the iphone in the o2 shop and the screen is something else!
Does it identify contacts in your SIM? Photo COntacts pro didn't that's why I stopped using it. Also can you use alternate dialerpads cause the one they show is ugly. Also what shows when someone without a picture is calling? Thanks for your help and advice.
Does somebody know what registry settings belongs to make larger contact photo appear on incoming calls? I don't want to use a multi purpose program for it.
Thx
when i get a call. The Caller ID pop up screen is too low on the screen and i dont get to see all the information?
its like the lower 1/3 is missing
thanks
Why not try this:

thanks for the link
At the moment i want to try and not download anything etc until i understand these things better ! i dont want to use my phone as a door stop !
I wonder if the phone settings can be adjusted etc to show the "pop up" in full
Or is this the way it works from factory?? If so its madness (Again)
you can't change that AFAIK
why don't you try S2U2 ? it has a great caller ID interface, very similar to the one found on the iphone... it works very well for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353008
Any other options than S2U2 and PocketX available? To bad PocketCM has no callerscreen intergrated.
I've been tempted to get the s2u2, but I've read some posts from a few that love it but say it is somewhat buggy. So, I'm staying away for the moment.
Photo contacts Pro
i have using photo contact pro for my kaizer and it working great..
The photo contact just show the caller ID with Full screen............. any idea
about how to show the dialed ID with full screen?
Inesoft Address book has a skinnable CallerID
http://www.inesoft.com/eng/index.php?in=addressbook.html
And is it possible to only use the CallerID from Inesoft Address book? I don't want a different Adress Book. I like PocketCM.
I doubt it. The Configuration for caller ID is part of the address book software. But there are also setting for when to use the Inesoft address book. Maybe you could turn it off there.
I have a TyTN II and want to be able to have a full screen picture of the person who's calling when they ring my phone. I have it set at the moment where it shows a small picture next to the name. Is there any way of doing this?
Thanks
try S2U2...ther is a option for full screen caller ID.
That works a treat, thanks alfa.
I really like the diamond (Ignito) but using it to dial people (in touchflo) or contacts (via Windows) is a nightmare. far too often I end up dialling someone when I'm trying to scroll using the touch screen. And the basic Windows contact manager is all too small scale to use without a stylus.
Has anyone got any advice or better still an alternative app that will let me use the touch screen and a big list in a reliable way. My daughter's Samsung Tocco is just a dream to use in comparison.
Thanks
Mike
You can use Resco Contact Manager. The beta is free and usable with touch function. Try it! You can enable/disable Resco Contact manager to handle calls, contacts, etc in settings

The Screenshot is on the website as well.
Thanks Satus - will try that now
Mike
personally i never use the contacts tab to dial out. I just press the phone key then use the dialer keypad to start typing the first letters of the person im trying to dial then hit call. much faster than trying to scroll and no need for the stylus..
tried Resco contacts last night and I love it. Scrolling seems somehow much less sensitive and even if you do make an accidental press, all it does is pop-up the contact with 4 big buttons for dial, sms, email, and something else. If you hit the big back arrow in the corner it takes you back to your scroll list at the point you were previously
Thanks again Satus
Mike
