Anyone notice this? I'm not sure why the IG version of android had the high res photo option, if I upload pictures that have letters on them it has to be checked off if I upload regular pictures like a photo of a car it has to be checked or it will look blurry. Anyone else want to try this?

Hi all,
Not sure if this happened just after the update to the 24 firmware, as I only just noticed it... but have you noticed that images do not zoom properly in mediascape...?? - it's like a crappy 'digital' zoom on a low resolution image (probably one reason why photos taken by the camera always look so crap - because Mediascape does not display them in their full beauty)
Let me give you an example:
The wallpapers here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6994126&postcount=1 look great as a wallpapers... nice HD image, stretched all the way to the edges of my screen... However, if I view the same image in Mediascape it shows up with an actual size of about 1x1 inch, and if I zoom in, instead of getting a nice HD image, I get exactly what you'd expect if I zoomed in on a thumbnail - a horribly compressed looking jpeg.
Is this a new issue? was Mediascape always awful like this? is there a fix...?
Bump.... anyone?
Yes I noticed the same thing on the 20 software as well. Pictures look great when set as background, but viewed in Mediascape they look all blurry, very annoying!

Is there any good image viewing SW out there... usually, if I take a photo, I'll zoom in close, just to make sure it's not too blurry, and nice and crisp - currently I can't do that.
nothing worse than taking a good photo, and finding it just looks awful when blown up.
Astro has a 'better' image viewer, and while you can't zoom in, at least it's not showing a horribly compressed image.

SE probably did this so you can fling between pictures very quickly (this was first introduced on 020). However in order to make it so 'quick' they had to compress the pictures a lot.. Bunch of amateurs really..
I suggest you download JustPictures from the market. It is as fast as Mediascape, you can do the 'one-finger-zoom' and the images remain sharp.
Thanks for that - Just Pictures works a treat.
Cheers
Using CM7
I use some pics as contact photos. I read in a different forum on here that if you dont allow Google to sync contacts with your GMail account, the pics wont be blurry when someone calls you. Has to do with the quality of the pic flying through the tubes of the internet, I dunno. But it didn't work.
Anyone else have this problem???? Anyone find a fix?
I noticed the same issue with Facebook profile pictures. On FR008, the Facebook photos (synced through Friend Stream) are of high quality unlike on CM7.

I notice this with any picture set even from gallery/google contacts
it seems to scale it up from the tiny contact thumbnail
When i switch to video in the camera app the view is zoomed in compared to taking a photo. This is the minimum zoom level in the video mode but would be zoomed in a few times in photo mode.
Anyone else experiencing this and know how to fix it? I've had this issue with all the roms i've tried - ICS & GB.
It's really annoying having to stand far away from the thing I want to record

yeah in video mode the image is little bit zoomed ( i would say 2x max) but that will not cause any trouble at all you can still take videos of near objects with ease...
BTW if you want your video quality to be quadrupled try this mod...the video quality is amazing im taking videos of my niece and they are absolutely godly when compared to crappy stock video
try the mod if you have custom rom installed

It is very annoying and I find I have to move quite far back to record a video of something right infront of me, unlike just taking a photo.
Yeah i know about that mod and love it, it increased video & photo quality by 1000%
Hello there, I'm interested in playing with the refocusing of pictures taken with my mate9 in Wide Aperture Mode, but I want to do it outside of the phone, like in my PC, after exporting the pictures. Anyone know how to do that? Which software? Are all the data needed to refocus embedded in the jpeg files? Or are they stored somewhere else and there is some behind the scenes magic being done my huawei proprietary stuff?
Thanks!
*bump*
when i text pics taken with the 360 camera, it looks like a salvatore dali drawing on the recipients cellular-telefone or pc.
and they are unable to drag the field of view around. however videos work in vlc (but not mplayer/kodi).
is there a viewer that is able to view these pictures as intended.
also i put some pics on my webserver but firefox doesnt display them correctly. is there a webserver that can render them on a website ? (pannellum and photo-sphere-viewer seem to only work with panoramas).
these pics seem not to be able to be viewed without the essential 360-camera app. i'm the only one of my family/friends with an essential.
They display fine for me with Google photos and can be seen correct through Google photos for anyone they are shared with.
