Its a really bad work around, but try going into the contact you want to set their caller id photo as one of their other account photos as (whether it be their facebook photo instead of their google or skype photo) and give them a second phone number, whether it be their cell number a second time or a fake number.

I'm so sorry since I didn't read your previous comment well.<br />FYI, I don't mean to be persistent, but in my SM-G900H with Android 5.0.1 Lollipop, "mark as default" option is still available when I access more options (three dots icon) within a contact, thus I can still set one of contact photos within a contact asRehanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141726331345913738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210967414013183857.post-75520816281416580332015-05-29T23:28:54.357-07:002015-05-29T23:28:54.357-07:00Hey.

But not for contact photo. Nothing happens when you long press the photo. How do you set the default (aka primary) photo. That's not possible anymore.

There is no way to set the default photo when multiple exists. Samsung support claims that Google has removed it from lollipop. But this is not true. On nexus devices with lollipop this is called primary photo.

Thus, you should be able to set a contact photo within a contact as the default by using the method #1 that I mentioned in this post.

It is still possible to set default phone and mail etc. But not contact photo. I.e. if a contact has different photo on google, facebook etc. it seems that there no longer is any way to set which one should be used in Contacts. Is there a work-around?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03420471713839492876noreply@blogger.com
