Contact profile picture not showing up in Dialer - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I've just updated to 4.2.1 (rooted version) and noticed that while using stock dialer, the contacts profile photo is not displayed
during a call or when the phone rings for incoming call.
In the contacts application the pictures do show up as they should.
Any idea how to fix ?

first, call and hang up anyone. then go to dialer app and swipe left to go recents and tap the empty contact icon(left of the contact) whoever you want, then select another contact photo.

So the contacts pictures can't be synced with my Gmail contacts automatically ? I need to add the pictures manually
one by one on the phone itself ?

Delete single phone number

Is it possible cancel a single phone number instead of all calls or all the calls for a contact?
I have italian ROM version 1.19.408.1.
Thanks in advance
are you talking about deleting a call in the call history? if so, here's how to hide your mistress' calls.
Press the send key to pull up the phone app & then the bottom left of the dialer there is a Call History button. that will bring up all the individual calls & you can select & delete & hide your affair.
enjoy

Thanks for your answer but your advice doesn't work in my phone with the european rom reported above. I need to delete a single phone to a dialer and not all the phone calls to that dialer.
FOr exampke if I call a friend 10 times and he can't answer I will found in my call history all the 10 calling and this generates confusion, so I want to be free to delete wath I want in my history call to obtain the better information I need.
If in the future, as you mention , I will need to make some "mistress calls" I will use a first generation phone (never a pocket PC phone ) and another sim card but it is not time yet .
Thanks in advance for your cooperation
Call you post a screenshot of what pops up when you press the Call History icon on the dialer? I'd like to see if it's the same as mine.
This was a feature I was also looking for.
I found this on a ROM with Manila 2.5. I apologize but I forgot which one. The ROM was a bit unstable so I am presently using another. I will PM the OP with the ROM I used.
---edit---
It was a ROM with Manila 2.5 build 23049
You can delete all calls to an individual caller (or all calls to all callers) but on Manila 2.1 it is not possible to delete a single call to that caller.

It is possible on 2.1 doing what i described. from the Phone/Dialer, press the bottom left icon for Call History & it will bring up individual calls (sort of like the old WM way) & you can press & hold a single call & it will pop up with an option to delete or you can do it through the Menu.

Wow... I can't believe it was right in front of my eyes the whole time! I was going through my call history from the 6.1 contacts.
Thanks
And for the record, it's the icon directly to the left of the Talk button when you bring up the dialer.
The icon to the left of TALK button on my TP2 toggles between voice calls and video calls. There is no Call History icon
Call History can be called up using the right softkey Menu > Call History, or click on the icon to the right of the call entry, which only gives me the option to delete all calls to that particular caller.
hmm, must be a US only thing then.

Yes, I can't find it on my European version of the TP2.
I think freakingwilly did mention a way to do it: through the 'Contacts' app in the 'All Programs' list.
t's a bit fiddly, but the way I've done it is:
1. Press the Phone/Send key to get a list of recent calls, and hit the button to the right side of that entry to get to the Contact Details page
2. Once you're there, press 'More' in the Information section
3. This will bring you out of TouchFLO into Windows Mobile 6.1 page for that contact
4. Tap on 'Last Call' (this will only be present if there is any call history to see)
5. You'll see a list of last calls for that contact which you can delete individually.
Note that this only works if that number is in your phonebook contact list - I haven't found a way to delete unknown callers short of saving them to my phonebook first.

Correct !
Indeed, it's a US thing.
The simplest thing I've found is simply to exist TF3D/Sense. I have installed the Darkness Toggler for TF3D Sense/Titanium/SpbShell. Once out of Sense, the option to hold down and delete individual calls is there.
I have US Tmo 6.5 rom. Press and hold does not bring up any menu for me and the moment I let it go, it simply dials that number for me.
@see_u_then:
What you described comes from the TF3D-Sense. Once you get quit sense, you will get the option to delete. As I said in the note above yours, I simply toggle between shells (TF3D/Spb Shell/Titanium). I get the option in all shells (or no shell) except in TF3D-Sense.
(As an aside, it's interesting that they removed this option in the TF3D-Sense2.1. The option was there in the WM6.1/TF3D Manila2.1 version that I had before the "update").

Contact with multiple numbers -> Easier call

Hey there,
is there any app to do the following:
When tapping a contact from "my contacts" or from my call list without tapping the green call image (I'm using DialerOne) -> Show the numbers of this contact so I can faster change which number to change instead having to open the contacts page and than select the no to call...
Thanks!
Is there any app or flash addon?
Not sure if this will help...
Using the default dialer, if you use the trackpad to highlight the contact, you can swipe left/right with the trackpad to toggle between the contact's different numbers.

[Q] How to send an SMS through Contacts app?

If I click on the photo (or the default icon) while on the contacts list, a small window pops up with a few communications options depending on the stored contact information (Call, Gmail, G+...etc).
However, I can't find any way to sms a contact either while in Contacts list or after I open the contact item even though the phone number stored in that contact has been set as Mobile.
The only way to sms someone is through the Message application.
Am I missing something?
There's the pic that looks like a text bubble on the right hand side of each phone number when you hit the contact pic. That's to sms the person. If you have more than one sms program, it'll ask you to choose a default one first. At least that's what I got. Hope this helps.

Now you just confirmed what I was suspecting. I think I have set the "Call" action as the default.
I just went to Settings->Apps and found out that only the "Phone" app has "clear default" option. I cleared it but it didn't solve the problem. Whenever I click that little icon, the phone dials the number right away.
So when you tap the icon in my pic, your phone calls the number?
There used to be another way, allthough I'm not sure wether it was Samsung-, or Android related:
Open the contacts-app.
Scroll to the contact you need.
Put your finger in the (horizontal) center of that contact.
Slide slowly to the left and the sms-option will appear.
Slide to the right and you can make a call.
I hope it works for you.

(req) Dialer plus other dial options

When I call people, it's almost always voip or messaging via a bunch of different options.
I really really want to integrate these into one place.
I imagine a dialer that has different and quick to access options (if you can be bothered to open the attachment you'll see what I mean). HA! the upside down attachment
So, I want a list of contacts. I tap a contact and a menu of ways of contacting appears. then I can tap the method, maybe skype call, and it will call the number stored via skype. I tap video and it video calls via skype. Maybe I tap we chat or whats app or QQ or msn and then I can message them or send a voice clip, or whatever.
Calling from phones is really changing and the dialer is not keeping up.
I can't see anything that fits with what I want...
Any ideas?

Open your phone dialer,hit menu button,then call settings,scroll down to the last option about Internet call settings,under accounts check if you have set up any VOIP if not then head over to user internet calling and select only for internet calls ,see if it makes the IP call option go away
