pictures not appearing in gallery - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

Hi, has anyone had an issue where they get sent pictures on whatsapp or videos and they no longer appear in the gallery? I've tinkered a bit to save battery life and disabled a few apps but also done a full factory reset and still not appearing in gallery? There was no issue when first had the phone, have recently also updated to that 2nd update in April, I'm on exynos s20 ultra! Now I have to manually share photos videos to Google photos as not going into gallery, never had this issue ever!

Instagram problem, photo getting zoomed in after snapping

Im a huge Instagram user and I've been having a problem when snapping photos using Instagram.
Whenever I snap a picture, the photo will be cropped off 1/2 in on each sides thus ruining the composition. There are no issues on video though/
I'm currently on Omega v18 (stock rom based) and Im not sure if it's a ROM-specific problem or just issues of IG with the Note 2.
Can anyone else try this and see if after snapping a photo the final photo will get smaller or like zoomed in than whats showing in the viewfinder prior to snapping.
Thanks.
4.1 update doesny fix it.
Anyone kind enough to check? Im pretty sure most of you have Instagrams :/
No one has instagram to test this out?
No issues here, see.

Hi Chobie,
I have the same problem as you example. I took a pic of an apple, fit it into the whole pic and then when i snap, the end result is not what was seen before i snap. It sort of zoom in/cropped the photo such that you dont see the whole apple & the sides have been cut off. I'm also using Note 2 & i dont know when did this problem occurs. I searched all over the internet but it seems that no one is having that problem. My sister is using S4 but she doesnt have this problem.
Did you manage to fix it? I uninstall and install back the app, no help at all

Thanks. Nope still no fix for it. I even reverted back to stock ROM to see if it's a ROM problem but it produces the same problem.
I've reported bug to instagram's website so you can probably report it as well to escalate the problem.
Hi,
Yup. I emailed instagram. Hopefully they can advise..

Is that the exact composition and frame of the photo before you took it?

Ugh. That's weird. I wonder what's wrong...
Happening to me as well. The only solution I could find was to disable the option to "Use Instagram's advanced camera" under "Advanced features". This way it uses the phones camera and then asks you to crop the photo on your own.
I hope they fix it soon.

I have the same problem. Samsung note 4. Stock Android OS. Instagram and an app called "paper camera" both have this issue.
I have the same problem too. I take a pic & it comes out all zoomed. I emailed IG but still no response. Anyone know how to fix camera zoom bug? I have S5
I have the same problem. Picture is zoomed after a picture is taken. Very frustrating. Clearing app data repairs the issued for just a while. Reported a problem to Instagram via in app feature. No response. I'm using Sony Z5, Android 7.0
9 Aug: Updated to Android 7.1.1. The problem still exists in Instagram. Very dissapointed. What's interesting - problem does not exist with a front camera. Has anybody found a solution?
Hey
The same things happening to my phone (Smasung S6) and I came to Google hoping to find a solution. It hasn't always been like this but now it won't go back and it only happens to instagram :/

I'm having this problem with Samsung Note8. Contacted Instagram, but these guys are not responding. That's a shame because I used Instagram frequently in the past.

Camera tip

You can download camera effects and camera modes if you go into the camera app and click more on modes! You can also get different effects and stuff too! Available in the Samsung app store, must have a Samsung account and be logged in though. I did not realize that until just now haha. Sorry if it's already been mentioned before!

You probably have Samsung Apps deleted hence why it isn't showing up.

Contact pictures very low resolution when receiving text notifications?

Just curious, is anyone else having this issue? My contacts pictures show up looking very bad behind my text notifications....

Exactly. I got the 4.4w1 update and was hopeful, but they still look the same. It looks so bad I am embarrassed whenever I get a text if people are around...
Funny that while playing Music, the album art shows up High Res. The problem is only with pictures of contacts while receiving texts, hangouts or whatsapp messages. This should be fixed big time. !
Yeah the only way around this (for now) is to install wear messenger... It doesn't display contact pics.
The beta version of WhatsApp fixes the pixelation for both WhatsApp and hangouts... WhatsApp removed it in the official release for some reason.
M attaching the apk for any one who wants to use it.

It fixes it for hangouts, even if hangouts is used for sms as default?
Yes, it fixed my hangouts pixelation too

Do I have to do anything specific or will it just work if the apk is installed? Because I still have the pixelation issue and it's installed.
Uninstall the old WhatsApp and then install the apk... It works fine for me on hangouts and calls

Well, that's bizarre. I have the .apk installed that you provided, yet it does nothing about the quality of the photos.

I appreciate all the help, man. Still doesn't seem to fix the issue for me, though. Guess I'll just wait and see if Google fixes the problem.
Hello,
What is the current status with this issue (low resolution for Whatsapp contact images)
I mean the problem is still there. There is any fix for this, in order to have the full picture resolution on whatsapp notifications?
thanks!

Thinq does not have advanced messaging option

I bought 2 US thinqs from t-mobile the other day. Both have the same base version. Security version. I've compared every setting I can think of. But one of the phones does not show Advanced messaging options in settings. No alias settings. My. Phone shows a click able menu called "advanced messaging" but the other phone does not. Anybody know anything about this?

My silver T-Mobile G7 has advanced settings, and I'll get back on here after I check my wife's red one. What do you want from advanced settings, and what does alias do?

I'm trying to figure out why I can't get delivered and read reports when my friend and I text each other. We don't have this problem with anybody else. Just each other. This seems to be the only setting that could be causing the issue. Delivery and read reports are working with mms between the two phones but not sms. Alias seems to just be another version of your personal profile on the phone. Not too concerned about that function but it seems to be connected to since she doesn't have that setting either
Hmmm, just got my silver T-Mobile G7 ThinQ Friday and I don't have advanced messaging on it either.

I think it was a bad installation of the update. Factory reset seems to have solved the problem

Hi, do you have the LG Message app or thr Google Message app? Also, do you still have the wide angle camera of the front camera?

I don't think it ever had wide angle in the front. That's why there's two lenses on the back.

Question Oxygen 12.2.9.9

European LE2123
11.2.9.9. out on Oxygen Updater.
Camera v.6.2.113
Security 1 september
Yeah, the gmail notification bug was fixed.
What wasn't fixed though is the low framerate in certain apps (Google Photos, Samsung Internet, YouTube, Maps, Onenote...) and the weird scrolling acceleration.

Hi,
Last update with oxygen updater made my phone bootloop, so I would like to install the update by official OTA.
Do you know in which country the OTA is out? I would like to install it with a VPN connection.
Thanx

Gmail notification problem has nothing to do with notification, you can check that by going to settings/account/ your google account a'd sync, you'll see that gmail will not sync, so if 8t does not sync, how is it supposed ti get notification
