Hello everyone,
I found a serious problem together with some users from HTC Taiwan fans group.
How to reproduce:
1. Set Edge Sense shortcut as short squeeze to launch HTC camera (the default);
2. Screen off;
3. Use Edge Sense short squeeze to launch camera;
4. Take a photo;
5. Tap on the photo you just took (on the bottom right corner if in portrait mode)
6. Delete the photo
7. And tell me what's happening on your phone. "Ta-da", lol
Personally I think it's another compatibility problem between HTC and Google Photos. Before v3.2 it's the lag problem while deleting unsynced photos in Google Photos, now it seems Google fixed the lag, but introduced another problem... If you guys have some thoughts, do share down below in the comments.
Thank you.
Update: happens on HTC 10 too if using shortcut to launch the camera.
Me too. I experienced this problem before but I can't replicate it and find the cause until I read your post.
Thanks for sharing.
My phone also has the problem when take the photo then tab on the latest photo to review, however, the screen shows the black screen with camera icon then switch back to camera app again.
I have to tab on the latest photo icon again to review the picture.
Anyone experience this?

Definitely is Google photo update.

Hi guys,
I have recently updated to the latest firmware (the 69MB "bug fix" ** , not jelly bean), and I have the following findings in S Note....
- No more options to hide tool bar, workspace significantly shrink
- My palm zooms the page every 20 seconds even though ink only mode is on
- Unable to "import" images in with landscape ratio as the note background. the gallery assumes that I want to crop a portrait image
- Which means that I have to rely on "Change background" when the note is opened, and change it EVERYTIME I add a new page
- If I close the landscape note, reopen it later, 7 time out of 10 the "change background" menu is greyed out, and 3 times out of 10 I have to select the image from gallery again.
-Import PDF finally works, but it converts my lecture slide pdfs to pixelated images of text...
I think there is a similar thread for GN8000 update, but is this what happens too? I really appreciate it if anyone can share any insights or suggestions as to how to fix the above inconvenience. I use S Note everyday and changing background every page I add is just too much for me. Portrait I tend to run out of horizontal space... Moreover, is it possible to simply install the apk of the old S Note? Will it work like before the update?
Many Thanks.
I knew I wasn't crazy! I thought something had changed in S-Note. The only thing that has actually been bugging me has been the screen resizing with my wrist. I always have to be super careful to make sure the tip of the pen is near the screen first and then I can rest my wrist. I'm sure other things have changed but I only use it to take notes at work so I always just use the default background.

I would think you could extract it from your previous rom or Titanium backup and install it in place of the latest one without issue.

No. There's associated files that would need be downgraded too. When I installed the newer APK on my Note without the associated files it crapped out. You can flash the old ROM you originally had via Odin. You should be able to find it and instructions in the dev section. Hopefully there will be an enhanced 2.0 version of S-Note in the JB update.
Anyone else having these problems:
(1) blurry photo's - I have removed the sticker and still get a lot of blurry photos. Sometimes it could be due to me moving the camera but most of the time I try to hold it very steady. I get the issue with HDR, Sport, and Auto modes. I did some research on this and tried chaning some settings but I still get the problem a lot. Some full sun photos look great, but way more blurry photo's than I would expect (coming from iPhone 3GS as a reference). I have these settings for past couple weeks:
PhotoSize: 4128x2322(16:9)
Burst Off, FaceDetect Off, Metering CenterWeighted, ISO Auto, AutoNight Off
Antishake Off (I think this was On and still had blurry photos so tried off),
GPS Tag Off, Review Off, VolumeKey Camera, Timer Off, WhiteBalance Auto, Exposure 0, Guidelines On, Flash Off, Voice Off, ContextFilename Off, ShutterSound Off
(2) edited/cropped pictures (from the Gallery) are saved in PNG format, why not JPG!?!? Did I miss an option for this somewhere?
(3) I use yahoo mail, occasionally I share a photo from the photo Gallery app to email (from the s4 to my email account). After receiving the email, I cannot view the pictures in the yahoo email webpage or on the computer after downloading them from yahoo). Same for JPG and PNG. Windows Photo Viewer says "Windows Photo Viewer can't open this picture because the file apears to be damaged, corrupted, or is too large". In the stock S4 email app, I have the Default image size set to Original. What is going on???
(4) Pictures are not rotated correctly when viewed in Windows (browsing DCIM folder directly from Windows). Is thi camera or Windows... this is frustrating that this type of issue still exists in the camera world with all the sensors.... the image should not need to be rotated! Is there a fix for this?
I did some searching and I see some people have crashes with the S4 Gallery app... I have not had that problem.
Thanks!
Another problem
(5) in the Gallery, if I use "Set As" to set lockscreen wallpaper from a photo I edited with the Gallery edit feature.... it won't set to lockscreen. I wonder if it is because of changing images to PNG???
I tried going into Application Manager and clearing cache and defaults for the gallery.... same problem.
My picturers rarely come out blurry, and I can set pictures that have been edited as my lock screen or home screen wallpaper...unsure about the whole yahoo email thing as I don't use yahoo. And I don't see the big deal of edited pictures being saved as PNG instead of jpeg...than again I'm not a picture snob so I wouldn't know the difference.

I have problems with the galllery it freeze every time it look that now that i change the rom it was fixed. But the camaera is not really 0 lag
Hello guys, after last update we got new features on camera mode. So I was experimenting with them lately and came across one problem.
When I choose 'Good food' feature colors and everything changes like it should. When I'm taking picture all works fine, but when I go to gallery to see picture, colors of it are the same as if I wouldn't take it with 'Good food' feature enabled - so it's practically not working ?
Does any of you have a solution to this ?
Thanks
Hi people, in this video is the only solution I found for the troublesome Instagram zoom problem. You just have to follow the steps seen in the video (This video is not mine).
YOUTUBE VIDEO
Steps if you don't want to see the video:
- enable programmer options
-go to the drawing section
-in that section, go to the smallest width
-switch to 400dp (432 comes from factory)
-go to gestures, switch to 3 buttons
And finally, if you need to go back to Android 10 gestures, the wrong Instagram zoom will come back.
If you have any problem with an application due to the modification of the DP values, just go back to the original values: 432DP.
UPDATE:
A second option is download Threads from Instagram. This app uses the same instagram filters (sice it also belongs to this one). Also with this app, it is not necessary to perform the previous steps to avoid zooming in the selfies. You only need download the photos and then upload them the original app.

Maybe, try to follow the same steps and then comment what happened
I have found a solution but you need to root the device and it is using the Screen Shift application. You can find it in Playstore.
Once downloaded and allowed root access, you can create a resolution for the application to run, in this case it can be Instagram or Snapchat, and you set a resolution of 16: 9, the maximum allowed for a G9 Plus is 1080x1920.
It is a good solution, it hurts that it looks black at the top and bottom.
Hope I can fix the problem for you until Instagram and Snapchat decide to schedule 21: 9.
Best regards,

Worked here and haven't noticed problems on any other app.

Just realized that this issue is not happening on android 11 anymore. Months after the update I decided to went back to the original values (432DP) and it's working fine (in fact idk if it was corrected by an update from instagram or the OS, but anyways)
This seems like a simple question, but I can't find an answer. Any help would be appreciated.
0. Pixel 4A running Android 12
1. In Chomp (my default SMS/MMS app), when I want to send a picture, I click the small picture icon under Tools to select an image.
2. This opens an app with "Gallery" at the top and all my pictures.
3. The Gallery app has no date seperators or controls to change the layout of pictures - it is just one long grid of pictures.
4. Unfortunately, Gallery seems to sorted by date taken only. As I scroll down, there is no way to tell when a picture is was taken (no breaks between dates). So, when I need to find a picture from last year sometime, I scroll forever - back and forth - trying to figure out if a picture I see was before or after the picture I want. This is nuts.
5. So, I want to stop using Gallery and start using something better - preferably F-Stop (where my pictures are organized by folders, keywords and dates.)
6. My first try was to disable Gallery - however there is no app listed as Gallery, Photo Gallery, Google Gallery, etc (At least I could not find it)
7. My second try was to disable Google Photos (and it sorts by date taken but it has breaks between different dates ) - I disabled it but no change. Gallery still opened as the selection app.
8. My third try was to attempt to change the default app for pictures - but there isn't one. I see defaults for Browser, Calls, Digital assistant, Laucher, Phone app and SMS app - nothing about images.
I'm stumped (but that is not hard to do to me)
Does anyone know how stop Gallery from opening or use a different app when in Chomp?
I use Chomp but don't use it to send pictures, but try this
Let the gallery app open and in the top left hand corner there should be a Recents icon, this should open a file viewer that also shows a 'Browse in other apps' bar where hopefully your app of choice is shown, tap that and you should then be able to pick F-Stop organised the way you want.
You may have to do this each time though
Thank you. The frame in the upper-left corner looks like a broken picture. However, when tapped, it is a search box that also lets me change apps. Thanks again for solving my problem.
