Most of my contacts have a picture associated with them. Previous to iOS 5, the picture would always appear small in the upper right corner of the screen like this:



But since iOS 5, when a call comes in, the picture is fullscreen and really distorted. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix?

I am guessing that you sync your contacts with I-cloud which automatically makes the photos full screen whatever the resolution. If you turn off I-cloud sync and update your contacts with your mac contacts this "should' resisze the photos - well it worked for me!

Thanks, I'll try that. But if that's the case, isn't that kind of stupid? Why would the pictures ever need to be full size? They are only ever used as thumbnails on both the phone and iCloud.

You have the choice and some like a full size pic popping up when the phone rings - better to have a choice even if it isn't to everyone's taste
