Is there a "fix" for this? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I'm currently running Jelly Belly, though I don't think that has any effect on what I'm posting about, because this issue was occurring even before I rooted and ROM'd up my phone a while back. Basically, the problem (well, more like personal annoyance, I guess) is that when I get a call while my screen is off, only a sliver of the top of the contact picture shows. I thought the entire picture was supposed to show? Here's an example of what it looks like (I blacked out the phone number, so ignore that part):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I bring the phone down from my face to end the call, the full picture is showing (along with a big red button to end the call), but when I actually get a call, it shows like it does in that picture I posted.
Is there any "fix" for this, or is that just how it's "supposed" to be?

I don't know why, but that picture looks creepy for some reason.
butter and jelly please...

My guess is that the incoming call is over laying the contact picture.

Heh, my dad doesn't really like to be photographed, but I want all my contacts to have a photo, so... Working on taking a better one, but eh, you know how people can be.

So, is there a way to fix/ change that? Like I said, it's been like that even when my phone was stock, pre-rooted/ unlocked, etc. Another thing I noticed, too, is that when I'm listening to music (via Play Music), the album art in the lock screen kinda does the same thing. That wasn't as big a deal to me as the contact pictures when I get a phone call, though.

You have to remove the picture and when you add it back you need to adjust the crop box until you get the image sized and positioned to your liking.

[Q] caller id screen

One quick question is it possible to change the caller I'd screen into full screen instead of the little pic but not by using an app that only works sometimes. Is there a way to change the dimensions in an apk somewhere
this is something that I'm hoping somebody is working on right now. There used to be one for the g1, but the work for it has been discontinued.
+ 1 here. Or at least make the picture look better, like high res or something.

If this is what you wanted then pm me
There's an app on the market for full screen caller id. You can set the level of integration in the app setting for incoming and outgoing calls, video caller id, or sms. I've had virtually no problems with it, just tweak the settings and its great. Just search the market for "full screen caller id"
Any luck on where that other thread is? Never heard of it and search is down at the moment.

Partial "crashed" screen for a split second - soft- or hardware issue?

I've been using my One X for several weeks now (I think the hboot date is around early June so it's not one of the early batches) and so far didn't have any problem except for the following:
Twice, first a few weeks ago and the second time last night I saw some "artifacts". I'm not quite sure but I think different parts of the screen were affected each time. What happens is that everything is shown how it's supposed to be except for a 30%-40% area which looks a little like a computer screen right after a software/driver crash can look like. Without doing anything, it disappeared each time after less than a second.
I wasn't able to take a screenshot but the following photo shows how it roughly looked like. In my case, there were only lines and cubes in black, white and bright green instead of the more "fuzzy" parts shown in the photo.

Is this a driver issue? A lose connection? A display fault? I was close to unlocking my phone but with this having happened twice so far I wonder whether I should wait a little longer...
PS: It's probably unrelated, but like a minute later I encountered some "keypad ghosting" via swiftkey, i.e. I was pressing some keys on the keyboard and it was inserting several different ones each time. I do suppose that it's a software glitch, though, as I tried the stock keyboard another minute later and this worked fine.
If you can still swap your device with your retailer I would do that, just to be on the save side...
did u update to latest already?
if yes,
was it there before u updated..??
it doesn't look like a hardware issue
Did it act like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIY0_Hy2_mA ?

No, everything was where it was supposed to be and the artifacts faded away after probably less than a second.
I still have the latest stock Rom, haven't updated yet. I do think it's been more of a software glitch but I couldn't find information on here or anywhere else which would state a similar problem. Which is good?

Galaxy Nexus Voice Recognition changed?

Has anyone else had the talk-to-text voice recognition features change on their phone without them doing anything?
The voice recognition used to look like the first screen shot below when used in any application. After speaking it would recognize that you stopped talking and then give you 3 options to choose from for what it thought you might have said.

This second screen shot shows what the talk-to-text looks like now. It just appears at the bottom of the apps its called in. However, it also doesn't recognize that you've stopped talking and it no longer gives the suggestions.
Has anyone else had this issue with their phone? Anyone know how to fix it or change it back to the way that it was when it actually worked?
I certainly hope it's not the new way it's going to be because it blows pretty hard.

Did you just upgrade from ICS to Jelly Bean? I never used speech-to-text in ICS, and the speech-to-text popup in JB has always looked like the second version for me. In Jelly Bean, it will still sense when you have stopped talking, there is just a longer delay. You can also tell it that you have stopped by tapping the microphone symbol again. If it recognized your words incorrectly, you can tap the incorrect words if they are underlined. Alternate words will be displayed.

M8 camera problem, pictures gets small pink/purple areas!

Hello,
Only me having problems with small areas in some photos getting over-saturated in pink/purple?
I'm using stock settings or whatever but it still doesn't help. If I try the Google Camera this is gone, so it seems to be something with the image processing? :S
Just look at these photos I took:

I had the M7 and this isssue and its not the same really, the M7 issue was more of a purple gradient at the end of the picture xD
This is like small dots showing up in bright areas. If I take a picture with the recently released Google Camera this is all gone, so its software based somehow
But thanks anyway man :victory:
Can't even see what you're showing us lol
I most definitely don't have the eye, but I swear I can't spot whatever you are marking

I definitely see it. And I am no picture guru at all.
Looks like you got a defective unit ?
HTC UltimEight ?
Does the issue show up in the same spot on the pics? Like a hot photo sensor pixel will do? Or is it in random locations?

Push notifications not working/only working on Gmail and stock apps

So I've had this issue for as long as I can remember, the issue is simple to explain, basically for example if I'd get a message on Facebook messenger or WhatsApp the notification would never come up unless I actually opened the app, I always locked the apps in the task manager but that never seemed to help, also in battery options going to advanced I disabled auto cleaning for the apps I wanted notifications from, that having no effect whatsoever I'm coming here asking for your help, I think I'm running the chinese version of EUI 5.5.013s, and I read somewhere that the notification issue is fixed in the Indian version of EUI for the x800 which I can't find. Can anyone lend a hand?

I also have the same problem. For whatsapp messages, i need to open whatsapp in order to receive messages.
I have been using this phone for almost 2 weeks now and i can honestly say it is the WORST phone i've had! bad camera, bad battery life and now late notifications.

My IR remote keeps on crashing. Are you using the stock IR remote?
I dont have lag issues either.
How is your battery life?
Do you sometimes have focus issues? especially for close (1Metre) objects?
