firmware 2.0/2.0.1 iPhone weird kinks

[chetiboy]

i thought in firmware 2.0+, some visual changes were made with the calls. from the apple website, calls come in like this



a reviewer online provided a screen shot like so




in previous versions, usually the photo of the person in your contacts list replaces the whole wallpaper when a call arrives. from the pictures, they have a small square 1X1-ish photo instead, and NOT covering the whole wallpaper

is this a phonebook setting i'm not aware of? any one have the new call display in their 2.0 / 2.0.1?

ALSO,

my iCal in iphone is not displaying the calendar colors correctly. My calendars in iCal are marked according to color, so green calendars are entitled "Green", blue calendars are name "Blue", and so on. Whenever I sync iCal with my iPhone, i get jumbled colors




any body else experiencing the same 2.0 kinks?

I don't think that's a kink. The contact photo is shown as a 1x1 image in the upper right if the photo was set in address book while the contact photo is shown as a wallpaper if you took the contact's photo using the iPhone's camera.

As for the calendar, I think I read an article somewhere that it is a known limitation that you can't control how the iPhone decides for the color combination. Sorry, can't find that link since I forgot from where I got that.

The small 1x1ish pic is the user pic added in the AddressBook. If you add a picture through your iPhone, it will be the wallpaper.

can't wait to pimp my addressbook for my contacts!

The pictures that you insert in your contacts using Address Book (or Outlook) on your computer and then sync to your phone show up as a thumbnail at the top of the screen. You must edit those pictures on your iPhone by following the instructions below for them to appear as Full Screen images.

On your iPhone, go into your contact that you added the image for and Tap Edit
Then Tap on the Photo (it should say Edit on it now)
Tap "Edit Photo"
Tap "Set Photo"
Tap Done

The next time that person calls or you call them it will display their photo Full Screen.
