Recently I got Snapchat and Instagram, when I use their built in camera, the quality is severely reduced. It looks like a 5 MP camera. But using stock camera app (or any camera app) the quality is great. The problem is with apps that do more than take pictures.. Here's two photos so you get an idea. Anyone else have these issues or know a fix?
I haven't noticed any particular image quality problems on my G3 with those apps. I do know that Snapchat saves images in same resolution as your screen, so in the G3's case: 2560x1440

I don't know if you can see from the pictures, but I don't get anywhere near that, or HD for that matter. You wouldn't happen to know a fix?
Instagram reduces filesize, so, they probably do this directly from the camera app.

I'm aware all apps reduce file size, but the images I capture are no where near up to par to a decent standard. The image quality with Snapchat on my HTC M8 was great, but on the G3 it's horrible
I'm having the same problem you are. I reinstalled Snapchat and the problem was still there. I even tried a camera mod (tweaks media_profiles) to no avail. It's a frustrating problem especially when I see my friends' high quality snapchat pictures and while mine are blurry.
Solution!
I finally figured out what was causing this, it somehow just came to me. All you have to do is hide the navigation bar in Snapchat (or any other app you're experiencing this in) and viola, clear pictures! Go to settings->display->home touch buttons. Hope this helps!

So it just looked blurry on your end until you removed the nav bar and on others' phones it looked fine even before your fix?
No it would be blurry to the people I snapchatted as well. I think it has to do with the fact that snapchat captures the image as a "screenshot" of what appears on the screen rather than the raw image from the camera.

Oh my, thank you so much man! I could finally Snapchat friends without feeling embarrassed, you're the best!
It bothered me so much before. Glad I could help!
My pictures are definitely better in snapchat after hiding home buttons

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?

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...
Hello!
I need some assistance regarding the HOX stock camera app.
You see, the photos i tace with the One X turns out really bad.
My old (old, old, old) iPhone 3GS kicks this one's ass.
The images turns out grainy and low res. It's set to 8mpx and all settings are stock.
Now i thought it was a hardware problem but when trying other camera apps souch as Camera Zoom FX they turn out pretty great.
The stock camera app pictures is about 1.5-1.7 mb while the Camera Zoom fx are at a natural ca 3.5mb.
Photo taken with stock camera app: 8mpx: http://oi45.tinypic.com/n2odar.jpg
Photo taken with Camera Zoom FX, 8mpx: http://oi48.tinypic.com/i5ver8.jpg
HOX stock: http://oi49.tinypic.com/21dizcx.jpg
Camera Zoom FX: http://oi48.tinypic.com/315cvg0.jpg
What could be causing this problem, or should I simply return it?
Do you have the stock camera app 8mp set to 16:9 or 4:3 format? I noticed with my own testing that the 16:9 format uses less of the sensor and you dont get full 8mp images resulting in lower image size. The 4:3 format is getting me 2.8mb+ image size.

You seem to have already answered your first question, and as to whether to return it or not because the stock camera app over compresses images, well, up to you.
Stock cam app compresses so you can have burst mode. Third party apps don't have the same speed as stock camera, but compensates with quality. And no, even with the stock app, the 3GS camera is worse.
harlz: I've tried both. 4:3 gives me a slightly better image.
I'ts strange thoug. Yesterday I rebooted the phone and took a picture, the screen was black for about 3 sek and then it took a photo that was just amazingly good. I took about tree more great pictures that ended up on ca 4mb. But now. I'm down to about 2mb and the images just looks like crap.
What could be causing this? Is anyone experiencing something like this?

Hey, I got my Galaxy Note 2 a few days ago and so far I'm having a blast with it =) But I noticed an issue while viewing photos and videos... and running the camera app as well:
For some reason while the camera is running, a photo is displayed, or a video is playing, the screen renders everything grainy. I thought it was my imagination, but when I open up a menu, all the icons and options look different too, they don't look smooth anymore, as if anti aliasing (?) was turned off. It's even more noticeable when I use the pop up player option, it effects everything I'm doing on the screen until I close the video. This only happens while content is being displayed, though. When browsing the gallery or scrolling through my video list everything looks fine, until I open something. I also noticed this only happens in Samsung's media apps. Using a different app to view photos doesn't cause this at all. I looked through the forums and couldn't find anyone else with this issue, maybe I'm the only one and should get the phone replaced? Or maybe others haven't noticed it yet... it sounds specifically software related. I had the original Galaxy Note and didn't run into this, so I'm pretty confused. Has anyone else experienced this? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

This is really weird. I took a couple screenshots while the issue was going on but when transferred to my computer they look exactly how they should, no graininess whatsoever. I also tested some more apps, namely Camera Zoom FX and MX Player. Those aren't affecting the display at all either. I looked through every settings menu I could find to see if I had something on that I shouldn't, but nothing helps...
Nobody else seems to be having an issue, maybe my best bet is to exchange it, then
I would try a factory reset. If that doesnt work check out a display model at TMo, if its different ask for a new one.
Just did a factory reset, it's still doing it -_-. I'll check T-Mobile tomorrow, though, thanks!
So I'm coming from an S4 which i thought had probably the best camera out there. While the One's camera is pretty good, I occasionally get blurry or not so great pics. I was wondering if another camera app might produce more consistent pics, or if it is what it is.
I don't want to sound like I'm complaining about the camera, it's just I'm trying to see if there are ways to get better pics.

Yeah, that's kinda what I've been reading. Don't get me wrong it's not horrible, I just wish it gave more consistently good pics.
Anyone reading this, have you adjusted any settings to get better pics?
I think it's software. For example, I sometimes get pink tint or a little blur with the stock camera app. But I also have vignette camera, and there is no pink tint or blur when I take pics with that camera. The only problem is vignette needs to update their app to work properly with the One, because it's only allowing 3mp pictures, not the full 4. :/

I also believe it to be software as not everyone has the issue.
I think it will be fixed soon with an OTA.
I 3rd party app actually may work better.

Both your problems can be solved by changing the camera settings.
The colour cast can be fixed by changing the white balance, and if you set the ISO higher, your shots should be less blurry (but slightly more grainy).
The "scene" settings can be handy, and if you pick the one to suit the lighting, it should give good results.
You could also practice holding the camera steady.
I really like the stock camera.

That's as may be, but the auto setting should automatically give you the right settings...It is on HTC to fix this, because we don't always have time to change the settings to get the one in a million shot of my 10 year old!
I have noticed that the Night setting gives me a better result...And I love to tweak my settings, but I wish it was easier to get to them. Maybe some "hot" buttons!
Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Moto E4 Plus come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I'm not a big user of phone cameras. I never use any settings. I just open it, take a picture, and move on. If I can take a picture of what I want, and tell what it is later, and be able to enjoy looking at it, I'm happy. This camera does it's job well. No complaints.
I'm ugly, but I took this with the e4 on lineage.

Hi,
I have same problem with poor quality pictures and discovered and installed a new app from PlayStore. It is about FreeDCam and for me it makes a huge difference when taking pictures.
Also may be opened with double click on Power button.
Wish you all best.
Hi. I have this phone. It is from a family member. I've updated it to version 113. I've rooted it. all good. but in the rear camera, the maximum resolution is 5mpx. and in the front chamber, the maximum resolution: 13mpx.
that is, the reverse of what it should be. and in addition, the photos with the rear camera are out of focus.
I will try to go back to the rom stock, because before rooting and unlocking bootloader, it was fine.
