Question for anyone that has the official pixel stand. There is a feature to use it as a "digital photo frame" from your Google photos.
This is a bit redundant for the pixel 4 right? Because if you look at the photos it unlocks the phone. And if anyone else does, then it still tries to unlock. The only time I've noticed the photos is if I'm at the otherside of the room!
I've never encountered that issue. It'll show photos from the albums I select, and unlocks when I click the power button to unlock it.

I browsed and couldn't find if these were already answered, but here I go. Using DVP.
1) Contacts pictures when they call, even when they are pinned to tile on home screen are blurry. Is this a WP7 issue? The pictures are not the issue, they were taken with Sony NEX5, and are good quality. I emailed an original pic for one, and then did a Zune sync with the other.
2) My browser bounces around. If I am reading an article, the browser pops down about 1/3 of a page, like it's scrolling, and then pops back into place. Any site, no rhyme or reason.
I think the blurry pictures thing is a known bug. Check the bugs thread.
As the browser thing, I've never heard of that one before. But you never know, sometimes my phone's camera button won't wake it up, and I've never seen that bug noted anywhere else either.

The picture issue is not a bug of the phone but a limitation of google (or windows live)
The pictures are scaled down considerably by google when the contacts are synced and these synced pictures hence look distorted..

That's because you're covering the proximity sensor with your other hand. That's a feature to sto pthe camera button activating the phone when it's in your pocket. Try using the camera button while keeping your mitts away from the sensor and it'll work every time.

Just tried that, and it worked fine, many thanks.

I was thinking that might be the issue. Is there anything I can do to fix that issue? Or it just is what it is when you sync the accounts? Obviously not a big deal, but a little annoying.
As for the browser jumping around, I'll get some video of it in action in the next cpl days.
I was looking at photos on my SD card in my TF700 dock. I was viewing them from the stock gallery. I was in the film strip view and swyping left and right through the photos and unintentionally swped at a left/down angle and the photo slid down off the screen. I didn't think much of it and continued on and then a few other photos did the same thing. This probably happened on like 5 photos before i noticed a brief undo popup in the bottom right corner. I didn't think it would delete photos without some sort of confirmation, but I guess I was wrong. Is there any way to undelete these photos and to turn off this feature? I am not unlocked or rooted and upgraded to JB this morning.
hi all. quick question for you guys: is there anyway to get unlock to camera with the pin lock engaged on the Nexus S like the iOS implementation?
I have to say that iOS implementation of unlock to camera with pin lock is the best in business for the time being.
for those who haven't seen it: on the iOS implementation, when facing a pin locked screen, anyone can still unlock directly to camera and take photos. AND they can even browse the gallery but the gallery only allows access to the photos that are just taken (phone still locked).
it's even session based. the next time the phone locks again, the user can still unlock directly to camera and gallery like the last time, but the photos taken from the last session while the phone was still locked are now hidden and not shown. so each time the gallery only shows the photos the are just taken.
all photos, of course, are added to the gallery.
it's brilliant! is there any way to get something close to this on a custom ROM on a Nexus S?
Thanks, all! :good:
Yes, it's called android 4.2. Watch it in youtube its quite interesting

This did not show it working with Pin Lock Screen though (as requested by op)...
I did have the video on mute due to being at work and might have missed him saying that it also works with pin lock screen...
It does work with pin lock. Saw a review from a guy at Google. Looks awesome. You can add the camera to one of the widgets. You can take pictures and view the pictures you just took. Upon switching to sleep mode and on again you can't see the pictures you just took.

Hey everyone,
Just recently, I've been having a problem with blurry pictures because the photo taker assumes that the photo is taken and saved before it is taken.
Previously on roms, once you press the blue button on the camera app, you see the autofocus do its work, and then it stops (which means the photo has been taken).
However, on the ROM I am currently on, it does the autofocus and the still, but takes like 3 seconds after that before the photo is actually taken O.O I'm not sure why, but this is causing a lot of blurry pictures because autofocus doesnt account for the 3 seconds between the focus and the actually photo taken.
Any ideas?
I do not have your phone/brand/rom so I have no experience in your device whatsoever.
However, I think that you are spot on about the autofocus potentially being a cause.
Are you able to disable it or use another camera application that has tap to focus or similar?
Sorry for the late reply.
Using another camera app causes some glitches (parts of the picture cuts off, streaks of white on the sides, etc.). Tap to focus will not help the problem because there is still a gap between when the pic is taken and when it is focused.
Thanks.
Hi, just updated my google phones and now noticed when looking at photos it applies a strange yellow dull tint when the picture is loaded. swipe to the next picture and you will notice after a split second the picture dulls, most noticeable on white background pictures. if you drag up to get the picture information it reverts to how the picture should look, nice and vibrant. Is anyone else experiencing this? rather annoying.
Thanks
Same here no solution yet
Noticed it too....super annoying
Just got delivery of my OP7 Pro this morning and I'm experiencing the same. Any suggested solutions?
Same here, looks like a Photos app issue
I'm having the same problem on my OnePlus 7 pro. I noticed it after the latest update of Google photos
Update to my response: I noted that if you have night mode on, and you open a photo, Photos will change the color mode to normal again and your screen will look white. I have to turn off and then on the night mode to get the tint again. Looks like Photos is playing with the display color briefly.
Yeah, I'm having the same issue with my OnePlus 7...

Glad I'm on the only one! Very annoying
My Oppo Reno 10x is giving me similar issues. When swiping from one photo to the next in Google Photos the colour cast changes after a split second and if you press the screen and do the slightest swipe in either direction without actually swiping to the next/previous photo, the colour cast changes as well. Doesn't do it in the native Oppo gallery so I assume it's a Photos issue.
Ones you download the picture to your phone is fine, so again it is Google photos problem.
Facing the same issue. ?
So I'm not the only one that noticed.
Facing the same "issue"
Have noticed it some as well...
Now here is a HUGE BUG with this. Open a google photo and leave it open with the weird tint. Lock ur phone. Now try to unlock using fingerprint. Guess what u cant... Seems the tint affect the fingerprint ready. U have to use ur pin.
You are right, can't unlock the phone when showing a photo with google photo. What a weird bug

Yes, seeing the same issue on the Oppo Reno 10x - i believe since Oppo is manufacturing the One Plus phones, they have the same issue...So if Google Photos is not the problem, i'm most probably sure, it will take a very long time until Oppo/OnePlus acknowledge and fix this problem...
Same... Been dealing with it for awhile now. Hopefully a fix comes soon.

Same over here on Oppo Reno 10x

But in the meantime I solved it by installing an older Google photos version from apkmirror. (Don't forget to disable auto updating in the Play Store!)
I don't think I will miss out on something although the app bothers me with saying so ?.
Version is 4.10.0.2346283390 and it works just perfect without any strange color adjustments a second after opening a picture. Finally I can watch my pictures like they should be.
