Cyanogenmod 9 Bug - Image load problem - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

I have installed cyanogenmod 9 (Alpha 14). Everything is working fine except some UI lagging as described in bugs.
one more issue I am facing is the time it takes to load an image. e.g image load for contact for incoming call or few games like 4 picture 1 word or any where the image is loaded inside some application component (not talking abt HTML pages here), the time taken for image load is really significant. It even took 2 mins for icon sized images. sometimes 40-50 seconds to detect contact name and load image for the same.
If I try to use Instagram it works fine till Image crop screen, fails where the image is loaded for effects and crashes the instagram.
is it the case with everyone? Any turnaround for caching or pre-fetching of the same to make it faster?

[Q] Why do hi-res pics look so blurry in the browser?

Like when viewing this,
http://i.imgur.com/ex6Zu.jpg
It looks fine until I try to zoom in to read the text. It's been like this since my G1. Is there a fix?
Just thought ide back him up i tried this, with the same image but a different host, and i had the same experience, text wasnt as crisp as when viewed on my computer screen
does it make a difference when using wifi on your phone to load that image? just wondering if its some proxy from your carrier downsizing the image. happens sometimes.
So I got a semi answer for this..it either has to do with the vm heap size and the limits imposed by android for each app to use a limited amount of ram. uncompressed that png exceeded 32mb and threats why it's blurry.
I also read it may have to do with android using opengl es that limits the bits used to show as it renders the pics as textures....but this is more applied to cool iris 3d gallery..not sure if this applies to the browser
New in 2.3.3 So this probably fixes it..the firefox app already loaded the image part by part and did not have the blurry issue..it's just that firefox is so slow to boot up...
Graphics
A new BitmapRegionDecoder class lets applications decode a rectangle region from an image. The API is particularly useful when an original image is large and and the application only need parts of the image.
A new inPreferQualityOverSpeed field in BitmapFactory.Options allows applications to use a more accurate but slightly slower IDCT method in JPEG decode. This in turn improves the quality of the reconstructed image.

stock browser not always showing images

Hi,
I face a big issue with the stock browser of my TF700 (FW 9.4.5.26 with android ICS 4.0.3).
In most websites, display is quite ok with the stock browser but for sites, the pictures are not displaying properly: a question mark is shown instead of pictures.
For instance, if I go to www.passefil.fr , it's displayed properly on PC or on my TF700T using Chrome. (no problem either when using an HTC Desire S with good old android..). But using stock ICS browser only shows "?" instead of pictures. Pictures are existing in proper location, since when clicking on the "?", it opens the full picture.
At beginning, I thought it was a wordpress issue on my blog, until I discover that same issue appears on PHPMyadmin for the same site..
Even more, when going to www.laboure.com , I face similar issue on a simple static page.
I made a test: go and have a look at http://www.laboure.com/test.html
This simple page has a unique line : <img src="img/blue_header.png" alt="ovh.com" />
It looks working when I display with Chrome or with a PC (picture is showing up).
But when viewing with tablet stock browser, it only shows a "?" .
I don't know where to look or what to do.. (.htaccess looks very simple:
SetEnv PHP_VER 5
SetEnv REGISTER_GLOBALS 0
so I don't think it's linked with that, and the above file is so simple....)
Could someone test with a tablet to see if behavior is same than for me ?
Anyone has an idea about what could happen ?
NB: I of course tried to empty cache using the menu of stock browser. I also tried to go to system parameters of ICS and force stop the browser (also tried to empty its cache in this system menu)
Thanks a lot,

Changes on image-files (dropbox uploades again and again)

Hello,
since Android 6 on my SGS7 i have a strange problem: Dropbox uploades some ot the images/videos again und again.
I installed a md5sum-app and something on the smartphone makes changes to the images from time to time. Sometimes there are changes on metadata, sometimes the content of the file changes too.
Then i have 2 picture on my computer in the dropbox camera-upload-older. For example: "xxx.jpg" and "xxx-1.jpg" up to "xxx-7.jpg" for older images.
This happens after viewing pictures or after turning the phone on (its turned off (shutdown) while i am working), also when i didnt view photos on the phone.
i use google photo viewer and samsung stock gallery app.
A reset and complete new start with the phone didnt help. I didnt notice this on SGS4 to SGS6.
Has someone an idea, how i can prevent changes on my images on the phone?
Best regards, A.

Opening photos via camera is buggy?

Does anyone else have an issue when they press the photo preview in the camera app where it stays pixilated for a while, the screen goes black, then I crashes back to the camera?
I also have the same issue if it loads correctly but I then delete a photo. It hangs for a while and does nothing. Sometimes it deletes, sometimes it doesn't.
Whilst I do like Google Photos, it'd be nice to change the default app to open with.

Yes, and it's horrendous. If you save photos to microSD and the image happens to be HDR, it can take 10-20 seconds for the picture to properly load (and reload and flash, etc, until it's done loading) from the camera app using Photos (I think it's faster if images are saved internally, but I really prefer being able to transfer my photos from device to device on microSD, and I often don't have access to the cloud to view uploaded photos). I have no idea why Google Photos is so slow, because if you take the picture and immediately open ANY other 3rd-party gallery app, the image is instantly viewable at the same quality, so you can't blame microSD speed. I think this is Android's doing, though, since it was also this way on my HTC 10 since the Nougat update (before that update, you could set the default gallery app to something else, so I always used 3rd-party galleries and had the luxury of seeing my photos instantly). Now, after taking a picture, if I want to review, I close the camera app and open my own gallery app. It's annoying to add so many steps, but it's still infinitely faster than waiting for Google Photos to load. Personally, I absolutely despise Google Photos and think it's a prime example of trash programming, but Android (which is becoming more and more a closed system every day) has spoken, and we have to use it, moles and warts and all.
I know other ROMS have worked around Android forcing you to use Photos from the camera, but I prefer to stay on stock for stability. But if anyone knows where in the code this is kept, I'd love to tweak the system to enable a different default gallery app. I just don't know where it is.

I want this to, would love to use my preferred gallery app. I tried removing google photos and use another gallery as default but then you can not view your photos from the camera app directly.
U have to be rooted so u can install gallery apk to system

How fast is you micro SD card. Maybe is the speed of the card.

As I said, other apps open the image instantaneously. Only Google Photos takes forever, so it's not the microSD speed.
I also save directly to the internal memory, so I can confirm, it's not an SD card issue.

FYI this problem or bugg, is from the Google Photo software, it's not a hardware issue, because even on my Samsung phone it did exactly the same thing, that annoying lag is terrible when switching between Camera and Gallery in the Google Photo App.

Question Random issues - collected

Got these questions if anyone can answer or even facing themselves please
Slow in loading the gallery - scrolling through the list and the pictures load pixellated and take some time to load and sometimes the thumbnails wont even come up
Edited a video of 39 secs (90mb) to 14 secs (108mb) - WTF?? I took a video with P7P which was 39 seconds and the size was 90MB. Then I edited the video cut it to 14 seconds and now the size of the video shows up as 108MB
Sometimes the double tap to wake doesn’t work
Video - zoom switching is laggy [This is known issue across the OEM]
Call quality is weird and screwed up for half of the calls I am making
Battery is not that great (How to check SOT?)
Inability to organise apps into folders in the Apps screen. OR to sort them etc: I miss this on Samsung devices etc, cant even sort them.....WHYYY?
Sometimes when I press TALK button on my Subaru and ask “Call a person” it doesn’t work - Android auto is really finicky
Gallery/Photos app: So I organise photos into folders. And I moved my photos from one device to P7P and I put all the folders into the DCIM folder. Now when I open the Photos app all these photos are shown under Camera
And maybe my issue...?
Issue with Material You color setting?
There is someting weird with my color settings. As we know, in Android 13, the system will pick color-sets automatically when you changed background image. I find that if i pick color-sets by myself, not the system selected color-set, when the...

Are you running the stable Android 13 or the QPR beta ? The latter solved many of the mentionned bugs.

You need to create a folder outside of DCIM for them to show as individual folders in the gallery.

Oh yeah thought of that too! But I got like 20 folders lol, I know I wont often look at the "Files" but yeah something to try. Also there is a folder called PICTURES and my folders were there before and I moved them to DCIM because when I am trying to share something to Instagram I cant see those folders on the IG app. That was the main reason behind the idea to move these folders into DCIM.
But I will try and move these folders outside of DCIM (but wont put them inside Pictures folder). Thanks mate!

Aah its still the same! Anyway I just moved everything back to Pictures folder anyway. Also I am on the latest Beta build and still got these errors related to editing a video (rotating and saving a video errors out) and Gallery loading etc. Sometimes the thumbnails wont even show up

It's not present in my case - (QPR 3.1 November). My it's the issue with mixed pictures from your own reposity and Google Photos / taken pictures by 7Pro?

No idea - maybe it's trying to save in better quality that it already is?
Sometimes the double tap to wake doesn’t work
Got similar problem - especially when Face Unlock with option to skip lockscreen is enabled.
Video - zoom switching is laggy [This is known issue across the OEM]
Still present in 3.1 in my case
Call quality is weird and screwed up for half of the calls I am making
Can't complain. Mine are loud and clear - even with loud speaker.
Battery is not that great (How to check SOT?)
It's been good for me - 8,5 hrs SOT with approx. 35-40 hrs of standby. Both on stable 13 and QPR (2, 3 and now on 3,1 looks similar)
Inability to organise apps into folders in the Apps screen. OR to sort them etc: I miss this on Samsung devices etc, cant even sort them.....WHYYY?
I don't use folders, but agree - pixel launcher is ****ty as f*ck. I use Nova Launcher most of the time - folders do work there.
Sometimes when I press TALK button on my Subaru and ask “Call a person” it doesn’t work - Android auto is really finicky
No opinion.
Gallery/Photos app: So I organise photos into folders. And I moved my photos from one device to P7P and I put all the folders into the DCIM folder. Now when I open the Photos app all these photos are shown under Camera
Why not backed up in Google Photos cloud? It works great for me - sync between devices, web etc.
after the last update (today 8november) i noticed something that could be a new bug (i hope): in the stock camera app i use the level to measure the tilt. it worked great but after the update that level is tilted about 3-4°: i.e. i was taking a photo of the horizon on the sea (leveled through the grid) and the level measure 3 or 4° of tilt
I probably have nowhere near the amount of photos as you, and based on what I read, I'm guessing they're local photos, but the gallery thing could be solved by just getting a new gallery app rather than Photos. QuickPic was the go-to back in the day before they sold to another company. When that happened, I found Piktures to be a fast and pretty alternative. There might've also been a modded QuickPic app on XDA. Not sure on that since I just use Photos.
Battery and call quality, I can't complain. Battery is all dependent on the user, so there's always that.
Sometimes the double tap to wake doesn’t work
Now this here works flawlessly with out a case, but I found it easier to double tap near the camera bar. It seems to activate more when it's up higher.

Thanks for the reply mate
Yeah My gallery consists of photos taken by Samsung, Apple and this phone too. Even in the beta its all pixellated.
Also I found another issue with IG app when I am trying to upload videos to my feed. Selecting multiple photos option and selecting pictures works fine, but videos wont get selected. These videos are taken through the phone too. Support team says to update the app but still the same. Cleared cache, re-installed and done everything, but still the same.

Yeah I am thinking to root the phone soon. But a little bit worried about all these cyber attacks happening in Australia now. But Ill try the 3rd party apps, obvio I prefer if the native app has that option but cant do anything now
