You need to do this for each contact. The process initially may seem weird but works well.

Open a contact
Click Edit
Click Edit below the Picture
Select Edit Photo
Move the Circle around the image (just move randomly, a bit)
Choose Photo
Click Done
Next time when you receive call from this contact, it will be full screen!!!!
