I'm at a lost and have checked through other threads/posts and can't find anything. I have the HTC Tilt 2 with factory ROM and when I take pictures in any mode, they show up in all plaid color variations. On the preview TF3 screen they sometimes show up plaid, on the album preview screen with small tabs the pictures are normal but when you click to make it bigger and scroll through them, it's back to plaid again! The pictures I had and imported show up fine but the ones I take now I can barely view. I had a camera tweak installed for more options but took it off just in case. It does it with or without the tweak installed. Any other instances of this out there or can anyone give help, ideas, thoughts or tweak links to fix? Thanks!
Mine just recently started doing this as well. has anyone found a solution other than a factory reset? becasue i really don't want to do that.

I was having this same issue, and the information on the first post solved it for me.

Basically my camera functions, i can see what id like to take a picture of on the screen, but when i save the picture i took, the image is scrambled lines of color. if i transfer those picture files to my computer they look the same, scrambled. So if the camera functions and theyre saving scrambled on my phone im assuming its a software issue with htc's built in camera app and i do not look forward to a hard reset.
I know its been asked before because i just did a ton of research, but is the camera cab file for the rhodium, more specifically the AT&T Tilt 2 available online anywhere, does anyone have it or a way to extract it? Id be incredibly grateful for your help, thanks for your time and efforts in advance.
actually i stand corrected. it is taking pictures properly, because i just went into HTC Album, and the pictures look perfect. In touch flo3d they look scrambled, and i even went into file explorer and saw scrambled photos. so maybe this is a random occurence? but they still always appear distorted in everything else but HTC Album. Now im lost. definite software issue, i still have a feeling the camera cab file would work, unless its touch flo3d corrupt. opinions?
nope. only the thumbnails in HTC Album look perfect, when you tap on the thumbnail the picture full sizes into the scrambling im talking about. definitely an interesting software issue.
anybody? is there a newer version of the HTC Camera cab thats is easy to find and will work? or does someone think its not the camera app? suggestions?
I have seen this question brough up but after looking didn't see any answers. I have tried using the stock mms as well as Handcent and Chomp. I have changed the settings to 1mb but still out going message ends up 7kb to 20kb. The person on the other end gets a picture that you need bottle caps to see.
I did a search on this and found resolves for other phones as well as a simple check your settings but nothing else.
I did come across this link below but don't know of anyone else that has done these steps.

Too funny. Yeah I posted this originally and no answers.

I called Sprint and asked them why I have a HUGE screen, BIG Camera and tiny MMS. They told me this is a known issue and will be fixed in next release. I personally think they just saying that to satisfy my curiosity. They told me it was an Evo only thing. They could save lots of money if people send 16kb MMS instead of 300kb to 2mb which the phone should allow. I think most phones and providers allow 300kb to 1mb.
I did read a thread where they modified it for the G1.

It looks like other people are starting to get annoyed with this also, but nobody has attempted to modify.
I am sure if you want to modify the mms.apk, which I looked at and could not find any settings regarding the size limit, you would still have to root your phone and unlock NAND to modify it.

I am opening up grabbing the information off my phone now to dig deeper. If I get anything working I'll repost what I did.

I have the same experience using handcent. Even sending the pic to an email causes the same behavior.
Im surprised by the lack of posts in this thread? Does anybody not have this issue?
I can't even send MMS, for some reason. I get them ok, but sending does nothing. Dont even get an error. Could someone post their APN settings? It is grayed out on my phone, but at least it will tell me if that is the issue.

i guess nobody uses mms? lol i certainly dont haha if i take a picture worth sharing i just upload it to facebook right then and there...i mean we have really fast 3g and if you want super speed use 4g. i was able to upload 25 pictures all at once to facebook using 4g in about 4 mins...
Yeah...haven't sent a MMS since I got the Evo on June 4th...
My Palm Pre (Sprint) was able to send an MP3 to another phone 2-4MB no problem, but this darn phone.... So I know it's possible just gotta find the right segment of code to change.
Wait a second...never heard of this before. So I just ran a test...a 1mpixel photo mms'd to my other phone. Right off the bat it resized it for the message..something about 'photo too large'. But it went so fast I couldn't read whole message.
When I open the sent message, the photo is now only about 2/3's size of the screen and only 70k.
This is crap!
Damn it. Tooke a photo from the Raphael and sent back to Evo. A 3mpixal pic left the Raphael no problem...and showed up on Evo at 60k. WHAT THE HELL?!?!
Calling Sprint first thing. I bailed on the iphone 3g for three major issues. One of which was no MMS. This is huge to me. CRAP.
Here is a thread with mms .apk stuff. I do not have root and still not OTA...so this won't help me yet, but maybe for someone else?
(Hint, they modified mms_config.xml-files ??)
Ok, ran another test today...sent pics from my two phones to a friend...and had her reply with pic from her phone to my two.
Both pics from me were taken at 1mega pixel....she got one at 40k (Raphael) and one at 17k (Evo).
She sent same pic from her camera to both my phones...Raphael got one at 210k (1600*1200) and the Evo got it at 77.9k (640*480).
Now I kinda just glossed over the FPS issue...but now I am seriously getting upset about having my phone with this wonderful screen get messed up shrunken images. I have a high quality camera and I can only send out tiny azz'd pics. Now I have reached the point of being upset with a super/smart phone that has been crippled.
You gotta love how they have great specs on the phone and the programmatically dummy it down.

I thought it was only me. I hate sending a 720p photo abs the person I send them to replies with...."the photo is really small" and yes the phone does resize the images. It blows
bump on this mms does suk on the evo
Yes it does suck I sent an 8mp photo to a friend and I swear it looked like she got a cif res photo
I brought this up in the store last week...they just kinda went...'Uh huh.' Seemed like they knew but weren't interested in discussing.
We need to hack this as it seems ONLY the Evo does the pre-resizing and then Sprint's system has an auto resize on tope off that.
I am learning android as fast as I can....as this doesn't seem to bug a lot of people...and I'll just have to look at it myself.
(Unless someone else knows more?)
Here's a workaround until I can actually find how to fix it in the HTC version(I've only been able to decrease image quality so far )

MMS Resizing on EVO
Hey - I know the last post was 3 days ago... Just wondering if anyone made any headway on it? I'm going to go to the last link that was posted for the AOSP MMS program, but it looks like there might be some issues with it... Rather stick with stock SMS/MMS program without any of the issues... And have this darn resizing thing fixed. It's a load of bull.
The most advanced phone on the market and seems to be the most limited when it comes to doing what it's made for! Being a multimedia device! I feel horrible sending someone a picture the size of my thumbnail when they can send me something that can be zoomed in 10x without any deterioration lol.
Def lookin forward to hearing what you find @Caulkin.
hi guys being as though im new to this forum and am not allowed to post in the developer area of this site I thought id post it here:
my questions are:
how do I access the photo sphere on the 4.2.2 version of CM10?
the standard camera app crashes everytime I take a picture and when I check to see if the picture is saved in gallery there is just a plain grey picture instead of what I was taking a picture of... is there a fix at all??
sorry if I am being very noobish I just find these forums very hard to navigate and the search field never gives back the results I am looking for it usually displays something completely different for example:
I search for CM10.1 and it would prob come up with you searched diced pineaples :silly:
I have two pictures that are shot one right after the other in the same location seconds apart. In one I'm blinking and in the other my kid is not looking. I would like to combine them into one picture.
I know I saw a commercial, for I believe an S4, that can do this from your phone. Does anyone know the name of the app. I can't find it. (android)
I have an older version of photoshop elements of someone knows of a way to do it on Windows, or a free download, as well. It appeared that it would be a lot of work on there. The versions that appear to have this feature are newer, so I'd have to do it the old way.
I tried to find a Picasa app on the android phone and failed with that. Have yet to go back and check into that on Windows. Any advice is great, thanks!
I
No advice, eh?
Thanks for the pm Kennyg
