When you choose a photo/picture to use on your today screen the picture is very washed-out. Is there any way the transparency can be altered to make the photo clear? Thank-you

Yes. Go to the picture and video application, then from there, browse to the directory containing your image. Then pick up the image, and from menu, say that you want to use this for your desktop.
The next screen that appear will have the ability for you to adjust how wash out you want the picture to be.
Thanks for your help buddy, worked perfect.

Check out Resco Photo Viewer 6. It is not freeware but well worth a look at the trial. It does all that you want and much more. Additionally, it displays your photos sharper than the buit-in Photo & Video app.

You need a utility to capture the image. Here's a quick search I did:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=wm5+screen+capture+freeware&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
Some capture from PC others are on the PPC device and save captures there. Normally they have a timer so you set it to say 15 seconds go to the screen you want (today screen for example or any other) and it takes a snapshot after the 15 seconds delay.

Hello,

Is it possible to set up the caller ID screens to use a full size 240X320 picture when an incoming call comes in? I haven't figured out a way to do it.

yes it has full screen caller id, but ive noticed that it drops calls sometimes
Unfortunately does anybody know why the full screen caller id displays real blurry in S2U2?i have tried using the camera contacts photo option as well as using a digital camera and it still comes out blurry.

What are you using to assign the pictures to the contacts? I'm not sure as i don't use s2u2 but i think the only way to get hi res pictures is using s2v (A_C's photo viewer).
I use S2U2 with S2V to assign contact pictures.
Attached is a pic of the call coming in and when the call wasn't answered, courtesy of S2U2 and S2V.
I've never had a problem receiving calls or any other problems with S2U2.
A fine (free) program.

i have no prob with blurry pix ...and ive used s2u no prob .. i even take pix off the internet and put them on my storage card and jus assign them in there ....all i do is go to my album and click the little head icon to assign the pic and it works fine for me ... now i have noticed that if you take pictures you have taken with your touch off the storage card and put them back on it later it makes it blurry but dont understand why though
Use PhotoContactPro

I use PhotoContactsPro as my contacts application but I use S2U2 as my caller id. I purchased PCP basically just for the caller id option and now only use it for the automatic profile changing. Even with the option in PCP set to full screen caller id, the picture would still only fill about half the screen. I could never get the id to ever be truely full screen.
i have met the same problem. the best way is that you use s2v to assgin pics to contact.

Hope this thread is still active.
This might give a clue:
On my HTC P3400i (WM6.1) I had the same blurry image problem; but thats resloved if I used PNG image.
On my HTC Touch2 (WM6.5) I have no luck with both PNG of JPG
I am using the latest S2U2 >> S2U2-2.04-QVGA
Hi there, I have a "problem" with the photo that appears when someone is calling. To be more specific, the size is very small. Is there an app that makes it bigger, like iphone for example?
You can use S2U2 and enable S2A (slide to answer).
Then you get full-screen photo and you need to use a Iphone-like slider to answer. Bonus is you won't answer accidentally anymore.
Hope this helps.
Search to find the app (is in the general software section, I think)
You need to enable Caller ID to Full Screen to get S2U2 to work with the Caller ID It's working really well on the Diamond. Might have a slight increase in speed if you disable the Diamond Dialer. But that's personal of course..
Yes S2U2 is the solution to your problem. Very handy application.
For you guys that use S2U2 do you have the weather info on S2U2 screen?
It worked for me once but not anymore
it works! thank you for the help...
After a day of tests, I found that with S2U2 installed, when someone calls me I cannot hang up. By pressing the hard button (or even the soft button when enables) it only mutes. Any idea?
U can use Inesoft Address Book (not free) to get big Picture
and u get better contact with photo too..

Use Diamond Tweak to disable it. Just changehone Pad Style, from Diamond to Windows Mobile Standard.
One setting above this you can disable the Ring Time delay.

About the contact layout, it's much more better with photo
while looking for caontact, and 100% compatible to outlook..
S2A 480x640 picture
it would be great if S2A can use pictures from its own folder, because the standard pictures are very poor quality, what i mean is if i can prepare jpg pictures in 480x640 resolution of people from phone book, name these pictures like contacts in phone book or numbers and S2A will use them instead standard ones. anyone know is it possible?
I've noticed too that s2u2 caller pics look kind of blurry. Is there any solution?

Use Slide to View (S2V) to set as outlook contact picture.
You can download from A_C site (http://www.ac-s2.com/)

nice but what does it do
What does Video Share mode do? Seems like a 4:3 video capture mode.
What I would like to see is a way to capture bigger vids with better quality, even if it meant much bigger file sizes... because i can just pull them off and encode them on pc...
Ideas?
Also whats GPS photo...

Using a similar method are we able to change to landscape in pocket word. I don't know if I have missed something but landscape word is an absolute must for me as it reduces scrolling etc.
If you can help I would appreciate it.

I'm having a small problem with the screen responses on my phone. I just went into the registry and made some changes to enable clear type in Landscape mode....and well...for some reason now....the 'ok' or 'x' tht appears on the top right hand side of the screen in landscape (right handed landscape mode) is unresponsive. It wont acknowledge any taps with the stylus or finger. I tried a soft reset and nothing. So now my phone is stuck in landscape mode...and it wont budge. Any ideas?
Sim reappear?

After that change, you off course need to reset to take effect. Once done, it would stay the way you want it.
Cheers.
I logged into the Windows live (MSN) program that comes with the phone as standard.
When logged out, i looked in my contacts phonebook and all my Windows live contacts were there! And when i took them away and logged into Windows live again, they were gone, probably for taking them away from the contacts phonebook in the phone..
Very irritating!
Now, is there some setting so i can make them not to show in the contacts phonebook?
I mean, as you can do with the SIM contacts?
Hello,
Does anyone know how to remove the contact photo's at the contact tab (not the shortcut ones)
Yes mate.
Go to Start, People, select a contact, and then select "Edit Contact". You can then click the contact image to bring up a list of options. One of them is Remove.
Hope this helps
Ah ok
But then you will still see the "silhouette" picture. i'd like to see only the names no form of a picture at all. is't there a tweak for it?
