I got this device a week ago and loving it but has anyone else encountered this problem? I just noticed it and its rather annoying. The pic i was trying to use was taken with the camera and pic was not blurry when viewed in albums. I've also taking pic in lowest resolution but still came out blurry on caller id. Help anyone?
yes, I have this problem too, would love to see a solution ... ?
did you sync with activesync? I have a feeling activesync reencodes the jpeg.
So this is what happens - and this happens every time I put a new ROM or change phones
1. I always synch with Activesync, so the pictures are kept in my Outlook.
2. When I sync the pictures are blurry. If I put a new picture in Outlook, it still comes blurry on my phone.
3. If I put a new picture on my phone and then sync, then - all is fine - pictures are sharp and crisp and they stay like that until I put a new ROM and have to sync from scratch
There is something fishy in the way outlook stores these pictures may be.
does anyone have a fix for this???
That happened to me with the stock rom but when I switched to one with Manila 2.5, they're more clearer because it doesn't use the flipping notebook layout of the older style.
I would rather not flash a new rom to this phone... Is there a cab file out there that can fix this?
I had this problem on my Diamond
What you need to do is go to the people screen in touchflo and add the contact pictures from there, and it saves them as high res and will then sync them as normal
If you add your contact pictures from the outlook contacts program or from Outlook on your PC, then they are saved at a lower res
So I save the pictures to the memory card and then in the People tab, add the picture from there?
Blurry Fav Pics
Well as long as you add the pic to the contact from the People area of the touchFlo, you will be able to pic a section of the pic, (crop it), which then keeps it high res... I had the same problem too... I dont know if you have t-mobile, but it is kind of the same concept as the myfaves icons...
Yes, I think I read somewhere that if you save your contact pictures to msd card, it'll be higher res.
Here it is:
# Hi Res Contact Photos
Assign contact photos on your SD card directly to specific contacts for hi-res thumbnails. If you assign contact photos in Outlook and then sync, the contact photos on your phone will be low-res.
While we're talling about high-res pictures, here's another tip:
# Improve Photo Thumbnail Resolution in Photo Tab
Modify or tweak a photo (such as adjusting brightness) using a image editor directly on your HD (eg: Resco Photo Viewer) and save and overwrite the original. This makes the photo thumbnails on your Photo Touchflo 3D tab hi-res instead of low-res.
I have a t-mobile branded version of the tp2 and thanks for your responses. One more thing to add, when scrolling thru contacts in touch flo is it normal for pics to be blurry and take a few seconds to sharpen out?

It does not matter where the images are actually saved initially, it's just important to add them from TouchFlo and not from outlook/contacts
I don't sync with ActiveSync, but use Funambol instead - created a free account and used clients for Outlook and PPC.
Now I can sync from every location to internet and back - works great! (Also you can sync with many PCs while Activesync cannot even handle two PCs)
I am a newbie to this forum, how can I add the contact pics via touchflo. The pics are all blurry in my contact. They look sharp in album view

Yeah, I've been doing that and the pictures are a little bit blurry also and I thought that's what people are talking about. It must be because the People tab zooms on the picture a little.

I don't have that many contacts pictures... BUT when I scroll through pictures in Album, I have a similar effect. The next picture appear slightly blurry at first and then sharpens out in about 1 sec.
Think it's a Windows thing... experienced the same thing in Vista sometimes as well if I scroll BACK and the file size is big (scrolling forward give a sharp picture immediately).

Use the slider from the home screen to go to the People tab. This is really the "favourites", and will be blank unless you have already input some of your contacts.
Either add the contact, or go to the one you want to change, then press menu at the bottom, and a list comes up and "change picture is the bottom one.
Select your picture, move the highlighted box or zoom in/out to get the crop you want, then then save.
NOTE: if you go into the contacts, or into "all people" and change the picture, then it will be blurry. This must be done from the People tab from the home screen
touch HD solution for Pro 2
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_tboy2000
this link from the blackstone wiki will show you some tips that are actually usefull for both phones since they have such a similar platform.
I've had both the HD and now the Pro 2.
(lost my HD yesterday)
Look at Hint 8.
a.
If you could get HTC to design any tab for you, what would you make it?
I'd like:
A Google/Bing Maps tab, which when selected goes full-screen into a map of your current location.
The same with the Reader tab - it if opened fullscreen to your current page, and allowed easy adding of txt files etc (I know there's the indexer program which does this).
A video browser which would just index the contents of e.g. My Videos, perhaps with ability to download DVD cover/details etc, and then launch whatever video player you wanted, (e.g. left softkey Coreplayer, right sofkey Album/WMP).
And of course, FaceBook tab!
Anyone else?
A real Tasks{Todos) List tab.
My dream tabs are:
1.) Facebook tab
2.) Widgets tab
3.) RSS tab
Facebook tab would be OK...
I definitely would welcome Tasks tab...that is something I use a lot and it is annoying to open the tasks app..
Facebook,
RSS,
Radio
That'll be top.
I wonder if someone will read this and eventually do something about it
it would be cool though if someone really did

Second that!
I cant view videos transferred from PC in Mobo Player. There is videos folder in Mobo but cant see video in it. It shows in stock gallery and from there can b played with moboplayer.But how to view and play from moboplayer.
Hi techpal
In moboplayer, you have to first go into settings and add which folders you want to add. Its the folder looking icon on the left bottom once you hit the settings key. Everytime you add videos later on you will need to refresh it by clicking settings button and then the round arrow key (refresh) to refresh it to see all the new videos you have added
I posted a screen shot.
1. Points to where you click to add the folders of where you have videos located
2. Click this refresh button when you add new videos and want Mobo to see those videos (just like how your phone does a media scan for Gallery)

1) ability to add widgets in the first page of homescreen (dont know if its possible or not but i didnt see it)
2) you cant do a google search in the adress bar in dolfin.
3)when you delete historial in dolfin, most visited remains there and you have to delete pages one by one

yes man we know. but its not inside the app.
yeah settings should be in the app itself.
option missing to unlock screen with any button.
file manager shows either phone memory or card, not both.
gallery sucks
cant find image editor, but it was promoted in early bada 2 videos, so it should come.
voice input opens randomly...
new camera sucks too, for example there is only option: preview on and off, but not the 2secs option anymore. i liked the old camera.
in file manager long press on files doesnt work...
in music player i liked old cover flow. and theres an option to view current playlist, but you cant delete/move tracks there. and maybe when viewing single tracks in music player, at least i dont need the cover art at every track. its just slowing down.

So, i would like to ask with new phone startup, we have to select a host of google services.
PLease inform how to enable/disable the following two services within phone if i change my mind later.
On the side note: Backup to google drive = isnt it same service as syncing ? (tht we do of phone numbers, email, calender)

First location services.
Device /Settings /Location/
At top Either select" Improve accuracy" and you can switch it off.
I keep my selection off as i found /discovered in the
BetterbatteryStats app that i use to monitor battery drain, deep sleep etc etc,
wifi is kept always on in background
(It does not sleep when your phone screen is off.)
The other is still in Location section... just above it (Improve accuracy) .
"Apps premission"
tap and then select relevant app tap that app and when options appears select Either
"... allow alll the time / Allow only while using the app/ Deny.."
Secondly the G backup i always use.
It also backups , Wifi pswds. Play store apps etc.
Device /Settings /Google /Backups
Switch on or off.
I use G backup to G drive combined with Samsung's backup.
G backup for Play store etc
and select Samsung Backup only to do the Samsung apps etc.
Wanted to post screen shots but currently not on my Note 10+
Good luck.

Thank you for to the point solution. :good:
Now, i have two questions:
Are you sure the question related to first image is this options only inside phone, coz, it doesnt explicitly refer to the 2 options mentioned in the screenshot.
Lastly, On the apps where selected gps “Allow all the time”, the apps still requesting access to GPS signal when fired on and does not automatically turn on the GPS by default . (Ex: Uber) ?

Ok, im back on my Note 10+ ,
Your first screen shot Location,
has 2 x options (according to me and that's the reason why I said 2 x options.)
You again, see it as only one option.
Sorry, if i confused you.
Anyway i will refer to your first screenshot
"Use Location" and " Allow scanning"
that you can either enable or disable.
That why i referred to as 2 options.
Now look at my screenshot below, the screenshot that's marked 1 and 2 on it.
Your Screenshot ask for permission "Use Location"
see my screenshot " App permission." which I marked 1.
There you can change every apps permissions
Inside that subsection tap on app and you will get
options to Allow all the time, /only while using the app.
or see my screenshot.
Still with your first screenshot, (which i call second option in my previous post )
marked "Allow scanning"
Again check my relevant screenshot.
This basic means that even if you have switched off your wifi/Bluetooth, it's still running in background.
So your device is not completely in a Deep Sleep state..!
This fact i found out when i checked my Betterbatterystats results.
That why i said i recommend to switch it off.. think if it's always on in background... extra battery drain.
Most probably not a lot, battery drain ( you can decide.)
example.......
So if your device was in deep sleep for 4 hours, then your wifi / bluetooth, would have been running in background for 4 hours.
Hope i explained it better this time.?
Good luck.

Yup it seems to be all okay
Just finished complete setup of my new phone, but ran into a new problem -- All my music albums are appearing in the gallery and i have hundreds of music albums !! (Didnt happen in my old samsung phone which was very latest too - A70)

From what i understand your music albums. (no music tracks as such) are showing up with you pictures/videos, in the Gallery pictures app )
For me this should be normal, under certain conditions.
example.
If i check my Gallery ( picture) app,
bottom there's a section..........
listed "Pictures.... Albums......Stories.. Shared"
If i select Pictures section i only get "Pictures and videos mixed"
Under Album section... (bottom of Gallery app)
Some of my music albums shows up here, but if you select that particular music album, it only shows you the Albums art / picture, no music tracks. !
Similar with video album shown.
If you tap that particular video album only the album art of that particular video is shown
See screenshot of what i mean.
This, as far as i am concerned "this " is quite correct.
Good luck

Yes, i always view in "My Gallery" - "Albums" .
The music artwork folders are appearing in gallery and yes they are images only , but it completely messed up my gallery view as i have hundreds of music albums.
If i just go to pictures, i cant navigate properly as i have thousands of pictures in different folders !!
PS: This never happened in any of other Samsung phones til date

I checked my music files on my sd card.
I have quite a few Albums in my music folders.
However , in my case i hardly have any album art that shows
Only maybe one or two.?
I must add i think my circumstances is different.?
When i purchase an music "Album" eg Google Play music,
I download it to my laptop and then just copy duplicate folder, over to my sd music folder.
I see all those folders, there's no albums art showing/visible, in relevant music folder (if you access it with a file explorer app.).......
However,
the one or two album art thumbnails, that i custom placed thumbnail in that album, does show up in Gallery app.
Yet,
when I go to my music player eg Poweramp, my album art thumbnails does show. and the album art also shows when playing the relevant music album.
Bottom line
As a test.... i deleted the album art thumbnail, showing/visible, in music album folder with a file explorer.
Checked my Gallery app... it gone no more showing...!
Maybe do a test and see results.?
Good luck.

Yes ,
that's why your custom art thumbnails are showing up in Gallery app !
I found that , if the music art thumbnails , were embedded,
as it's the case with most of my music albums songs, it does not show !!
Thinking about this now (to me ) it's logical that if you place a photo/custom art thumbnail in folder,
your Gallery app should "see/find " it ?
In the past i used to place a ".nomedia " file ( in a relevant folder) for it to be excluded .
The Samsung Gallery app ( as far as i am aware ) does not have a option to exclude/hide a "certain " folder , as eg. my other gallery app Piktures i use ( mentioned below )
Further , combinded to the Gallery app ,
I also use " Piktures " gallery app
(free Version Play store ) ,which has the option to edit and hide albums .
good luck .
