Hey folks,
I've recently found out that sometimes when I post a picture from the phone to Picasa it is not completely loaded, meaning the lower bottom of the uploaded pic in Picasa is grey. This happen only for photos that have a fine or superfine resolution (ie never happened for photos 640x480 or 1024x768) and then only for some pictures.
There is no error raised during data transmission from Desire.
Initially thought this was a data receive problem on Picasa server but repeating the upload from the phone of pic in Picasa looks still incomplete.
The same photo moved to PC and loaded from Picasa web interface shows no such issue.
I wonder if anyone else had the same experience and if a solution has been found.
I'm using HTC Desire stock (unbranded) firmware 2.1-update1.
Cheers

I've had this issue, same as you but with stock T-Mobile rom (with 3D Gallery installed)
I've had this issue as well....using gallery3d I think
me too. Stock HTC vanilla rom with the gallery from the nexus one installed. Only happened once, but when it did happen, that one photo repeatedly did the same thing despite looking OK in the Photo app - bottom third was grey.
Me too... Several times.
I am also having this problem with some photos after installing N1 3D gallery (with my previous Motorola Milestone and the same 3D gallery I had no such an issue).It is not just the gallery it is also whole picassa uploader - the same problem occures when i try to upload some photos from stock photo gallery to picasa.
Happened to me also.
Any solutions for this?
I tried to upload via wireless and 3g - same result.
Leedroid 2.2f, Radio 5.10.05.23
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? Currently on a stock ROM on VZW Incredible, Froyo, updated PicasaTool app.
The grey bar on uploads essentially makes the app useless. Thanks
Dan
Same issue here, with desire, desire z and desire hd.
I have this issue with my T-Mobile Sensation 4G, too. Re-uploading the photo sometimes works (but not always).
i dont understand why doesnt google figure out this problem already

Has anyone else noticed this? When you go to Photos on your Desire and browse them - even if full screen - they never show up sharp, but bit blurry. If you zoom in/out on them they soon sharpen up. Weird.
Just wondering if its an issue with my phone or general issue.
Sorry few posts this morning... Its been a Desireble morning.

There's an explanation for that..

Thanks for the link. I agree with the many opinions that this is an issue with resolution, NOT color depth. The pics are blurry - not sharp.
Hope this can be fixed soon. I use the Photos gallery to show pics to friends etc and it doesnt look impressing.

I think you're mistaking the Cooliris gallery you find on stock 2.1 with the Photo gallery on the Desire which is HTC's own app for Sense UI.
Look up Cooliris and Nexus One.

My mistake. I've not got my Desire yet (Roll on, Monday) so just thought they'd be using the same gallery app.
If you find any information on this matter though, keep us posted.
To the OP, could you elaborate? Are these pictures you took on the phone camera? Did you sync them from your PC and if so did you just drag and drop them onto the SD or did you use some syncing software i.e. Doubletwist? Did you download them from the phones browser and if so was it over Wifi or 3G?
I just sent over a large photo (4656x3600) and it's sharp in preview mode and zoomed in. I synced some photos using Doubletwist and it reduced the size of the photos without me knowing...so it wasn't the phone. Pictures I've taken with the phone are also fine.
Its most noticeble with photos taken with the Desire camera. If you zoom in or out they sharpen, otherwise they are bit fussy.
Please check if the zooming does any difference on yours?
I'n not having this problem at all with my Desire.

Yes, I see what you're talking about. The picture isn't shown full resolution until you do some zooming in or out.
I must say, personally it's not that big a deal, and I can't seem to find any way to change that behaviour.
Is it possible to install Cooliris on the Desire?

Yes, but that just degrades the visual quality WAY more than the HTC photo app.

It does?? I heard it is a great app...
I'm not having any such problem with either the photos app or the Gallery3D app
They show blurry as the system is showing a lower quality thumbnail that it has saved so that browsing between them is quicker. Once you start zooming in it loads the full size image and it becomes sharper.
any update on this , as a photographer i have my portfolio
on my Desire handy to show my pictures to anyone that is interested..
but it always take me to zoom them in a little to render them sharp which is a pain in the but when wanting to show them off in a quick manner...
if not any good alternatives then the gallery...
why wasnt it included? this gallery is way cooler than stock android or htc sense gallery
probably not the right place to ask, but I noticed that in 3d gallery you cannot share a photo through MMS, while in the regular Desire gallery you can. In 3d gallery, the share menu does not have as an option share through messaging. Is this true or is there something wrong with mine?
thanks!

Well I'm running CM6 on my Desire with 3D gallery and I can share via MMS from the gallery no problem
and also to OP: I don't know why they didn't include it but I don't see it as too much of a problem as it is easily installed

its because if htc includes it , its highly likely that it will work better , less buggy, and more responsive, can u post the file youre using?
its because the 3D Gallery is a nexus one app, not a htc app lol here is the apk you can install it normally, also this is the version called Gallery 3D not just gallery so it dosent clash with the native htc gallery app
Hey Guys
Im running Darkys v8, 2.2.1 everything is good, but in my opinion the gallery iset so good as the stock gallery, so my qestion is how can i get the stock froyo 2.2 gallery ? or can someone post it, couz the gallery in darkys v8 Android 2.2.1 is much slower then the stock one, and the pinch to zoom is horible.
Pleas any idea ?
Take a look here:

Its stock JPY(deodexed), works definitely better.

Hey mate, thx for rq,
I just installed this one, but it seems to be the same, when i zoom the pictures, its the same zoom quality, i think the stock gallery app from android 2.2 is much better, but dont know where to finde it :S
^The Gallery app that is linked in the above post gave me issues on Darky's rom with a JPY 2.2.1 base. It didn't build thumbnails properly and showed "no items" when I would try to scroll through the contents of subfolders.
The version of that Gallery was 1.1.30683.
Attached is Gallery 1.1.30682. It seems to work a lot better for me. Give it a shot. Don't forget to clear your current Gallery app data before swapping. (Menu->Settings->Applications->Manage Apps->(show) All->Gallery->Clear Data)
Hope this helps, let me know if it doesn't!
Previous post...upload fail! Here it is.
different Gallery3D.apk tests
I tested different versions of galleries which I've gathered since I started messing with galleries some time ago... I tagged each screenshot and apk with filesize, because I lost track from where each apk came from. I'd appreciate if somebody could help me identify them properly.
these versions are:
Gallery3D.apk 713KB - from post above me
Gallery3D.apk 973KB - probably stock 2.2?
Gallery3D.apk 1021KB - probably stock 2.2.1?
Gallery3D.apk 604KB (desire) - "hacked gallery" - the one which comes with SGS tools, or Darky's ROM 8.0
and results:
- all stock galleries (713, 973, 1021) have same crappy quality whem zooming
+ all stock galleries (713, 973, 1021) have not any ugly pattern over photos when no zoom is applied
+ all stock galleries (713, 973, 1021) are fast
? 1021 stock gallery has backward ordering of photos (newest are first)
+ 604 desire gallery has better quality when zooming probably due to less jpeg compression, and better colors
- 604 desire gallery is slow
- 604 desire gallery has some weird pattern over some images (those which are landscape and viewed in portrait mode and vice versa) when no zoom applied
- Note: when migrating from/to 604 desire gallery, you will loose an option for each photo "show on map" (GPS tags are ok, because it works in 3rd party apps)
(I didn't test any of these galleries for sensor bug, battery drain or whatsoever...)
conclusion:
THEY ALL ****ING SUCK
why the hell does the SGS have 5Mpix camera when you cannot take full advantage of it by zooming your photos?? And don't tell me that the SGS's hardware can't handle 5Mpix photos...
update:
I just switched to JustPictures! app and its great! screw you Gallery3D
update2:
Switched to QuickPic which is simplier than JustPictures! but it performs better
I have froyo 2.2.1 with its stock gallery3d and i noticed that after a few hours of non use, it gets killed and when you start it up it takes forever for it to load all the pictures an folders instaid if been instantaneous.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Hi,
I am facing this rather weird problem with my motorola defy.
A brief history: I live in India and I got my phone packed with Eclair and then i updated it to Froyo.
After that I rooted my defy and then installed MIUI Gingerbread.
But then again I started missing Blur and so I flashed a UK Motoblur rom on my Defy...
But since then the Camera is not working properly.
Actual Problem:
The camera application works fine. I mean it captures pictures and videos just as it should, but i see a black screen while doing so.
I start my camera application and its a black screen so is the case with camcoder.
I have attached a screen shot of my camera application to give you a better understanding of my problem...
I cant even watch youtube videos on my cell coz that too (videos) play with a black screen.
I dont understand what is the problem. I tried clearing the Camera application cache...but it does not help.
Is there anyone who can make me understand what is wrong with my phone.
Thanks
Have you installed 2ndinit bootmenu on the phone?

did you clear camera cache and thumbnails???
happened to me once
do a factory reset
apologies for n00bishly bumping a thread, but I have the same problem.
Since I rooted my phone and installed 2nd Init (I haven't flashed a new ROM yet, still on stock) youtube just gives me a black screen (sound is fine) and the same thing happens when I take a photo; the screen is visibily photo but takes a photo fine when I press the shutter
will a factory reset undo the SIM unlock?
Try uninstalling 2ndinit bootmenu.
Had the same issue, this is how it was resolved.
Hi there,
So I noticed recently (I think after updates...) that when I preview my gallery via the bottom right corner in the htc camera app, it now previews all of my photos (aka the timeline section and includes screenshots, downloads, whatsapp videos) rather than just previewing my camera shots album (photos taking only with camera).
I was under the impression that before it would only show my camera shots when I use the gallery shortcut via the Htc camera app. I tried installing previous versions and had no luck.
Basically I really don't want it to go through all my other folders when just trying to do a quick preview of recent photos! I could put .nomedia in all of those folders I guess -- but I still want them in my gallery app, just not when doing a quick preview of my camera shots.
Anyone know if there is a place to change it? Thanks for any help
Htc one m8, most recent version htc camera and gallery. On lollipop 5.0.1.
I also hate this change.
I don't want to see all of my whatsapp, facebook, etc. images in camera preview.
Does anyone know how to change this?
Thank you
I hate it too.. Facing this issue on HTC one m7 running kitkat.. Anyone knows how to fix it?

You should look for a solution in the M7 device section. Applying fixes mean for other devices may not work, and may even harm your device.
Also, Kitkat is very old, and that may be part of the problem.
