Did anyone notice that the pictures you take when using instagram are much lower in resolution than the ones you take when using the stock camera?
Unticking the "advanced camera" option under instagram settings doesn't do much since you're gonna have to crop your picture again.
Any thoughts?

Yeah that's instagram for you, the pictures are resized to crap.
or taken in a lower resolution using their 'advanced' camera in part of the app.
Just the way it is.
That's just how Instagram works.

Images are always cropped down within instagram. Even the images you took with the stock camera you upload there. Just take a look into the instagram photo folder on your internal memory. They're all cropped down BADLY.
Thats just how Instagram works. Small images means less traffic and faster loading times. Thats why you cant watch images in full screen within the app either.
Thanks guys, I thought so.. this is getting annoying!

Sorry for thread-jacking but is there any way to take pictures with Instagram and not have them uploaded? Many times I just want to make tests and it sucks that I cannot simply choose to save the files to a folder instead of uploading the pictures.
doe anyone else notice that instagram links do not open the instagram app on the HOX? For instance a tweet of the form instagr.am../asdhjd/ would give the option of opening with the instagram app on my SII but on my HOX it just gives the browser option..

Yes, just don't click upload... The pics will be saved in the instagram folder on SD

It does save the photo but it doesn´t apply the instagram effect. It also won´t let me choose the default folder or to set "never upload" as default.

Works for me. Take the photo, apply the effect(s), hit the arrows in the top right to take you to the tagging/upload screen, then just back out again. The processed photo (with effects) will be in the Instagram folder, the unprocessed photo will be in the normal camera photo folder.
Thanks. I didn´t realize it copied the photo with the effect to a different folder. All other photo apps I use automatically copy the photos to the android default photo folder.

Yea, it will copy the untouched photo to the normal photo folder, and the effect photo to the Instagram folder.

I much prefer to take pictures with the stock camera then use instagram to crop and upload, but thats just me.
yeah but wouldn't it be hard to judge how the photos should be taken because only the middle half of the photo will be cropped and uploaded onto instagram.

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.

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...
I have my contacts in the people app linked to their facebook profiles ,there contact pics seem very pixelated where as on my desire hd they were fine ,is there any way to alter them
Sent from the Beast that is the HTC One X in white......
Yeah i have the same problem to,i think is a HTC problem.I edited a contact and selected to take a picture.In the galery the picture looks good,but when it calls it's verry pixelated.
Did you noticed that it flickers a bit when you scroll down?
Its a common problem for all devices on ics. Google ics contact pic resolution and see the results.Google dropped the ball on this.

Using HaxSync worked great on the Galaxy Nexus because it synced high resolution contact pics from FB. I'm using it on the One X and although it syncs, the pictures are still pixelated . Dammit HTC!
this isn't a new problem is it? I had this on my old desire and google and facebook pics were pretty bad.
Isn't there any app on the playstore that has the option to view the full screen picture of the contact?I mean,on IOS when somebody calls you,the picture apears on fullscreen.I am thinking that if we use some apps we won't have this problem with the pixelated pictures because it's a custom app wright?
Maybe we should write to HTC so that they can come up with a fix for this..its really annoying..

Yeah, it's called HaxSync. Works great for Galaxy Nexus, but I tried it on the One X and the pictures are still pixelated. I think it's because of Sense.
I don't think so.After posting in this thread i tryed something.I had some old pictures taken with a Nikon camera in my PC,so i tooked a picture with my wife,put it on dropbox,after that i've downloaded that picture in my phone and set it up as picture for my wife contact.Now when she calls the picture is absoluthely amazing,i mean,no pixels involved.Could this be a size problem?The pictures that were taken with the Nikon had 4240X3680 resolution.
I also wondered, why is it so damn stupid quality... it isn't difficult to make it high res..
using Haxsync too, it's better than standard..
Go here for the best app

Hi all developers,
I just have an idea of an application for the HTC One. How about if there is an application to turn the HTC Zoe moving picture into gif file and share it to facebook and twitter etc? Or even more, the picture collage from HTC share should be able to be made into a GIF and shared into social media!
I think this is a good thing to do. If this is done, everyone can enjoy seeing our moving pictures easily
after shooting a zoe it will automatically create a mp4 file. with some apps you can convert them to gif.

Where can I find this mp4 file? After a shout one zoe I find few frame pictures, but nowhere the mp4 files.
i just opened a fileExplorer like "Solid" und switched to sdcard/dcim/100media/...
there i find some single-images from zoe (imag_0089_ZOE01, imag_0089_ZOE02, imag_0089_ZOE03...) and a mp4 (imag_0089_ZOEVideo.mp4)
would be cool if we could easily convert them in to live wallpapers
Doesn't the stock camera already have a gif feature? Not under zoe but under regular features I believe.

i did not turn the automatic upload to google+ for every shot i took, it took me a while to delete about 1000 pics i didnt need. but when i was going though them i saw some doubles, in fact they were nopt doubles they were .gif's i dont know how they got there but i know it has to do with the Zoe or continuous shots features. it the gifs were only 5 or 6 shots put together, so it would be nice to see what made them, i cannot find the gifs on my HTC One but i did find them on GDrive.

Not a big fan of Google photos app. And I really miss the old AOSP gallery app. Seen a few apks on XDA, but none seem to have a functional photo editor. Anybody else in the same boat? Would love to hear some ideas.
I've been trying Piktures. Pretty nice so far. Has an combined photo mode for people who like that all in one photo gallery like iPhones, and can also swipe to get to individual folders like all other androids. Also has a hidden photo feature for those who need to creep, lol.
I'm not sure what you're looking for when you say a functional photo editor, but I use Focus as an alternative to photos.

Following. I hate the Photos app. I use Dropbox and have my camera uploads go there. I don't need cloud storage, and the interface is poor imo. I use Snapseed to edit photos right now, but would like a gallery app that has simple functions (crop, basic color and brightness changes, etc.).

I keep wanting to like it, but it's just so busy looking. I wish there were a more simplified version.
I've always been a fan of Motorola gallery. I usually just save an apk in my Google drive and install it when I root/get a new phone. Only crappy Part is after you take a picture and click the thumbnail while still in the camera app, it default opens in Google photos.

I love the Photos app. The built in editor is pretty good and you can't beat the unlimited cloud storage. With that said, my second fave gallery app is QuickPic.
Google Photos has been my go to for a long time and does well everything I need.
Only thing I don't like about Photos is easily organising the photos. I have say my "Instagram" (device folder), backup to Photos. However then I have to create an album called "Instagram" and sort through the huge list of pictures to move them to their respective folders.

Does anyone have a recommendation on a Gallery app that actually knows what to do with portrait mode pictures? Seems like Google Photos is the only one that knows how to properly categorize/show portrait pictures. Every other gallery app I have used shows every portrait picture and the non portrait picture as it's own album. Clutters up a gallery really quick.
Any suggestions?

I hope this isn't too much off topic but felt like it was worth mentioning. My favorite all time gallery app if one hasn't tried it is Sony's Album app. To me it is hands down the best app when dealing with a lot of photos. There is a universal port here on XDA if anyone is interested, thank you.
just curious - if google photos works, why use anything else?
Sony Album app was always great and has been ported to work on pretty much any android phone

How does it handle pictures taken in portrait mode? Every other gallery app I've used creates a whole album for every portrait picture taken? So far I've only found Google Photos to handle portrait shots correctly.
