Froyo: Fullscreen photos in gallery are blurry

Does anyone else now have this problem?

Now that you've mentioned it I can see that I am
Once I pinch in a little it sharpens.

Yeah. Omg but when I pinch it gets sharp again...

Nope, not here. Never rooted Desire.

all fine here.

Yeah, I can see it. After the photo stops sliding, it blurs a little, then zooming it goes sharp again. Strange

Same here, I noticed it earlier today... It's quite annoying

As usual, if I wouldn't read stuff on xda, my phone would seem perfect to me. Now that I'm looking into it, it is there, but the funny thing is that it doesn't happen all the time...

No issue here. Non rooted desire.

I have this problem also on 2.2 froyo stock from the forum and rooted.

Anybody has it with the unrooted, normal OTA update ?

If you tap the photo to get back to the "filmstrip" view then tap a photo to go back to full screen it go's clear again!!

YES!!!!
Non rooted non branded Desire. It is 100% issue there. I think the other guys just don't notice it or understand what you mean. Took me a while to see it.
When you browse through the gallery it used to sharpen (on stock 2.1) when you stopped on a gallery pic during your swiping. Just ever so slightly. It does not sharpen now (stock 2.2) unless you adjust the picture using pinch.
You can see this easily by choosing a picture in the gallery and clicking it. now swipe to the images either side of it and back. the picture is very very slightly blurred. pinch zoom it a tiny bit and it instantly sharpens up. I'm sure the gallery used to sharpen the gallery pics automatically in 2.1. Anyone confirm?
edit: although, maybe Im wrong. Did it ever automatically sharpen the gallery pics when yuo stopped on them, or did you have to pinch or tap the image. I think it used to self sharpen. I really don't know without someone on stock 2.1 comparing?

confirmed for sure

I have same problem with my desire after froyo update

do you think HTC brose this forum to find bugs and issues or do they only go by the number of support tickets they get? I guess this is not a big problem really is it?
It seems they are just using a cached thumbnail for the gallery pics and don't sharpen the "preview" unless you zoom in.

I've contacted HTC about this issue and even given them a link to this thread... Let's see what happens, hopefully it will be fixed in an update soon...

Ok, found what you guys mean. The last picture is always blurry, even if the circle animation has stopped to keep sharpen the rest first.

I'm not sure but I think this happened to me only when I had the picture album widget on the desktop. I removed it, rebooted and accessed photos with the shortcut and so far, no photo has been blurry.
Also going back to choosing the album would fix the issue.

[Q] How do I fix Epic 4g Camera?

Hello guys, I just recently rooted my android phone and I installed a custom rom (Nebula 1.0.7) However whenever I use any video messaging app (Yahoo, Qik, and Fring) I notice that my camera is always sideways and I appear the same way towards the other guy. My front camera would always appear to be sideways even if I were to rotate my phone.
I never had this problem before, is there any way to 'mirror' my camera so that it would look upright?
Any help would be very appreciated

Same thing here. I don't think there is a fix for this until we get the official froyo.

Thats quite a shame, I wonder why they can't seem to fix it.
No matter ,its hardly a issue

Yeah I know. It does suck. First time I updated to froyo and saw that I was like wtf? Lol.

I had the same issue running stock DK28. Sometimes it would rotate correctly, others not. I'm sure it will get fixed soon enough!

Its Screen Rotation Lag.....I believe? I have been trying to fix that for a month or so myself to no avail. Its just a matter of time and a fix will become available. (Froyo/NebulaROM7Sisters-Ext4CWM3)

​I think I found the Fix, Download spare parts from the Market. Open it, in the section marked transitions....set that to fast. I just tried it and cleared up all lag for me.

You're. Thinking of something completely different. Its video chat he's. Taklking about
sent from my Epi[demi]c:-D

I use oovoo and it works very well. I know it's a hassle downloading yet another video chat program but it's quite a bit smaller than Yahoo! video and actually works better.
You can video chat from phone to computer, phone to phone, etc.

[Q] evo4camera on rooted OTA?

I was using the evo4 camera on my Froyo Inc. I updated to the rooted OTA GB and have not been able to get the evo4 camera apk to install.
I really liked having the onscreen picture button instead of the trackball or the tap and hold picture take option.
I have tried several ways to get this installed. If anyone has done it, I would appreciate a walk through.

i think you need the evo GB camera because they might have changed something in the Inc GB that makes this not work anymore.

Guess I will head over to the evo forum.
Thank you. Wasn't sure if it was my method. Probably changed something up.

I forgot a step. Evo4 camera installed
Looks like I had to run the adb shell and first move the HTCCamera.apk to the app.disabled folder.
Without rebooting, I installed the above file through CWM Recovery from the SD card.
Rebooted the phone and I have the old evo4 camera on my GB Inc.

Looks like I spoke too soon. The camera and camcorder open but FC when I try to snap a picture or record video.

I've been trying get this working as well, I pulled this camera from an evo GB rom. It works without force closing, but there is a small graphical glitch after snapping a pic.

I have the evo camera working but you have to set the review duration to no review or else it force closes.

That got it working.

Video recording work on this? I hate using the trackball to take pics. If video recording works might have to install.

Camera and camcorder work. You need to set the review time at no review.

[Q] Camera gone....help?

So i got my S3, and rooted it. Once rooted and ROM were applied, i noticed my camera was gone. The app disappeared. everytime i tried downloading a different app from google play, once i opened the app, a message appeared saying "Camera Not Found" the only way my camera would work and let me take picture is if i used instagram. and id rather not, since i cant white balance and focus how i like. But anyway, HELP PLEASE? Sorry im new to this site, if im doing something wrong im sorry.

What ROM did you flash?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

Firstly, what ROM are you using? It may not have the camera working.
Secondly, the normal Android camera application (not the same as the stock TouchWiz one for the S III, which may be absent in your ROM anyway if it's not TW-based) is part of Gallery, a Google app mainly available from the gapps package where custom ROMs are concerned; if this isn't baked into your ROM, you'd need to install it separately.

Does anyone's camera go dark after processing HDR pics?

Once in awhile, if I'm taking several pics in a row, or opening a pic to view and then going back to camera, my camera will go "dark".
As in the viewfinder goes all black instead of showing me whatever the camera is aimed at.
This happens AFTER the "HDR processing" message goes away/finishes.
And sometimes happens when it's not even processing HDR. So I don't think HDR processing has anything to do with it.
I've duplicated this on custom ROM's and kernels and even on a full wipe and clean install of Android O. So it seems to be either device specific or a bug that everyone has.
Anyone else seeing this once in awhile?

I'm on stock with ElementalX kernel, no root. Sounds like there may be some issues with you're camera. Especially if you can recreate it on bone stock. I tried to replicate but I can't make it happen.
