Small Round Contacts Photo ID ?! - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi there!
I just upgrated from my older Galaxy S5 to this beautiful Galaxy S7 edge, all fine but I have a problem that I had not on S5 !
I add a poto caller id photo, before I choose to save it showing in nice full half screen but after save it when somebody call me or I call somebody it show photo in a small round icon instead half screen full one.
Is it that normal ? How to I/we fix that ? It's a bug, It's a feature or there is something more there to be set ?
On my old Galaxy S5 with 6.0.1 I had normal full photo ID, even in my old Galaxy A5 2015 with 6.0.1 was the same normal full photo ID, but here unfortunely not!
You facing the same issue or not ?
Thanks!

Nobody ?

go back in and edit the contact. you don tneed to make any changes, but you will see the photo suddenly become full screen while in edit mode.

Yes, in edit mode the photo display in full screen, but after the save procedure when someone call, or I call, photo remain in the same small middle circle and I can't figure out why is that !

Thats weird. When I call the photo is small. When they call me, its half the screen.

Half the screen should be the right way in both ways, calling or receiving, but still, for me my device (CSC ITV Italy), last BPJ1 update display in this annoying small, round style for both calling and receiving and I don't think that it's normal way to display, right ?!

ok... is there any way to change/customize incoming call screen?
I have the same problem which i noticed today (i have the phone for 3 days). I am not sure i had it from the begining so it might be from an app...
Even so, it is not normal.
I think mine is like that... But I'm running rootbox. But I think it was like that stock, and my old Atrix was like that on CM10
Mine is not rooted...
I've seen a lot of pictures on the internet whit this kind of incoming call but it doesn't seem right...why allowing a fullscreen picture if it's half blocked when receiving the call?!?

its probably a new feature designed by some bright young engineer at Google !
try one of those full screen caller id apps, if you don't mind running another service in the background.
this helped on my Moto G (4.3).

Nothing weird. That's normal on kitkat. If you want full pic, try purity rom. However I like the stock looks cause the icons are hard to see when there is full pic as background. That's just me though.

(Nougat) Edge contact colors. Question: How do you pick a contacts color?

I have upgraded and thought that after going into the People panel and clicking the cog, that I could edit a persons contact color but I guess my memory fails me.
I'd like to pick the color for my contacts when the phone is face down and they message or call. Minor but still a feature that I enjoyed. Nothing to lose sleep over but I've been through the settings and havent found anything yet.
Your memory didn't fail you. That used to be the way to change persons color in people edge, but Google took the ability to assign colors away in nougat.

ZUK edge assistance please

I got a Zuk Edge yesterday it came with Android 7.0 out of the box ZUI 2.5 and the phone is really great, fast, smooth, gorgeous display etc.
But i am having some small yet bothersome issues, first one is the movies app Flixter says it can not find location, and when i input my postal code or city it says i need to be more specific. Second is i only sometimes get notifications and the only way to solve this seems to be to lock the apps so they stay open a la xiaomi Miui style. Third is the wallpaper, when i put a wall paper on, it gives me the colour of the frame rather than the picture. so basically on the lock screen there is the picture in the middle and some colour around it, on the background it only gives me the colour of the background.
Honestly none of these issues are a bi deal but it would be nice to fix them if possible. Anyone encounter these issues and found a solution? Any ideas?
TIA.

I Have The Zuk Z2 And I Had Some Of The Same Problems. If You Want To See Your Wallpaper Without That Burry Effect, Just Put HD Wallpapers, Turn That On And It Will Work. The Only Way To Fix The Notification Problem Is To Flash A Custom ROM, That's What I Did On My Zuk Z2

Multiple images on lockscreen for S7 edge with Oreo.

Can someone please help me enable the 30 wallpapers on the lock screen please?
I had it enabled on Nougat, updated to Oreo and I knew there is no more possibility to add more than one image, but for some reason it still displayed those images like in nougat. Untill I resetted all the setting because the new edge lighting works for messages( really annoyed cause it doesnt work for whatsapp or facebook messeger, wait, any app besides default message app and i tought the setting got corupted)
I saw a post in witch if you use Nova, witch I am, can create an activity with "my interests" app and set the multiple images on the lockscreen. I dont quite know how to do it and I need someone to help me.
Can the classic night clock be added br 3rd party becaus im sure samsung just dropped the support on the phone after oreo..
I miss these 2 features, makes me want to go back to nougat or root and loose OTA.......witch isnt a big deal cause I dont think there will be any more major updates.
To use edge light on every app you must enable pop up notification in app and then edge light works, also with screen off

Thanks! I did that, but it still wont work, although I wont use it with screen off because of privacy issues.
I really like the video on lock screen, can convert gifs and make cool lock screen, but I still miss the old feature. :crying:

Always on display icon size

Anybody else think that the icons on the always on display are way too small to be useful? For my eyes at least they are way too small to see at a glance from any distance compared to any other phone with an AOD.
Yes, they are too small indeed. I didn't find a solution.
Definitely too small. My wife has the S22 and those icons are the perfect size. Hopefully fixed in an update.
Do you have Chinese version software? If yes, do all apps appear on aod (viber telegram...) or jus sms and missing calls, as on most Chinese phones... Thanks
