Has anyone else experienced these problems? Say I have a picture of a cat, a bird, and a dog.
There will be two thumbnails of the dog, and one of the cat. But when I click on one of the dog thumbnails, its actually the bird.
I have started experiencing this for the past few weeks, and only have 71 pics in that folder so I don't think its because I'm over filling it.

I use Ice Cold Sandwich on my Inc S. I am looking for a Phone app that displays my contact's photo *smaller*. The resolution of the contact photos are so low that they look pretty bad when blown up to cover half the screen. A much smaller photo would be much nicer.
I think this would be some skinning of the core phone app, but not being a dev, I'm not sure. Any suggestions?
If you don't change Roms everyday why not to give new and hq pics to yours contacts?
If you don't want do it manually use some apps like HD Contacts. You'll have to put pics on your sdcard and let the program do the rest
Oh I forgot that pics should have the same names as your contacts.
I.e you have a contact named Dad, so the pic for it should be Dad.jpg
Good luck!
Best wishes,

I get that instagram is all about filters but I'm talking about photo resolution on the uploads. The photos shared from my One are far more pixelated and jaggy (overall crappy .jpgs themselves instead of filter related) than photos from my iPhone 4s were. Is there any reason for this drop in quality of pictures? What's the point of having this awesome camera if all the photos I share to both instagram and facebook look so crappy when shared?
These are 612x612 pictures there shouldn't even need to be any compression done on them to warrant the loss in quality.
Facebook is similar, I can readily zoom on my friends' iOS uploads from my phone but my uploads are letterboxed on my screen and I can't zoom in on them. It's frustrating when one of the reasons I switched to this phone was for photo quality.
I know it's not the phone's fault because they look great on here, so what's the deal with these apps and does anybody know how to fix?
Mine look fine

They look okay but there's a noticeable drop in quality from the same scene (even the same photo if I put the iOS photo on my android phone). Either Instagram, Facebook, or the Android upload system is scaling the pics down more than is done with iOS photos.
It's not deal breaking but when part of the reason you switch phones is the improved camera tech on the new one, it's a little grating that your 2 year old phone's photos look clearer than your new one's photos on social media sites.

What's happening is that a 612 x 612 resolution photograph is being scaled up to a screen that is 1080 pixels across and more than an inch larger. The iPhone 4S only had 640 pixels across so its no comparison. The much higher resolution and the vastly larger screen is why the pictures look pixelated on the HTC One. Instagram should really consider increasing the image size to 1024 x 1024 seeing as how mobile displays have come a long way since the Retina displays of 2010.

I agree with what you're saying but actually my issues come from the photos themselves when viewed on a regular computer browser window. I can look at my instagram history from the photos I post now to the ones I posted a few weeks ago with my iPhone and they're noticeably jaggier for some reason coming from the One. It's a shame but hopefully it's a minor bump in the road towards the future I agree should happen.

I did notice that on the last picture I posted. The letters seemed jagged. Of course, we probably can't expect a fix for a while because all the major app developers cater to the iPhone users first. Instagram was iPhone only for a long time.
I think the 16:9 sensor may have something to do with it, as opposed to the 4:3 on most other phones

Ahh I gotcha. If anything it sounds like its a setting with the Instagram app for Android. If you can, maybe you can try it on another Android phone and see if the issues persist. If they do it's due to the app, if not then unfortunately it would be the phone acting wonky.

I think it may be phone specific. The pictures from my EVO LTE never looked like that. I will post the same picture from both phones sometime and compare to see if there is noticeable difference.
I'm having this problem on my gs4 never had this problem on my iPhone 5 any ideas for a work around.

I went to the settings->advanced features and unchecked the two options there and my pictures seem to look better. I'm glad you've noticed this as well because I feel like people who've only used android don't realize how much nicer pics from the iPhone looked.
Yeah, I just noticed this as well. The pics actually look worse than those from my old Galaxy SII, which had a terrible camera. What the hell, instagram?
I've noticed this as well...the pictures take a big hit in IQ when uploaded to Instagram. The copies saved to the phone look fine, but they do look pretty bad on Instagram. Even the preview thumbnails took a hit.
My friend has a SGS4 and his pictures come out SUPER jagged....mine do not suffer from that problem but do look watered down.
Pictures look much, much, MUCH better on the iPhone 5.
anybody looked at the compression rate?

its in the app...u know like how they uncompress the mms pic size...ive seen this happen in a bunch of other apps also
pics look terrible
It seems that the apps is over compressing and applying sharpening to them. I have the HTC One international version.
The last couple of days I thought I was going crazy when seeing the crappy quality of the uploaded photos.
I will upload a couple of pics later to see if disabling High quality processing in the Advanced options fixes this.
It most probably something related with new phones, as some Galaxy S4 users are reporting the same problem with their phones.
Someone posted this on reddit... there's a clear difference here for anybody who was wondering or didn't notice it before.

I've also noticed this. You are not going crazy.
Hey guys I made a handful of videos this weekend and all of them have the camera focusing often and needlessly throughout the video.
http://youtu.be/8GY6KAUGAw4
That's one of the videos.
Anyone else seeing this?
I would call that normal, only saw it hunt a bit pointed at the clouds.
How many times you think you have taken the perfect picture only to find it overexposed and soft, and you can't take another one because the moment you were trying to capture is gone? It happens a lot, as great as the cameras on smartphones have become, these issues are bound to happen with every smartphone. I have had the S9, P20 Pro, Mate 20 Pro, Note 9, and S10+ now, and every one of them gave me great pictures, but trash ones as well at times.
Long story short, these cameras as great as they, they're a tad inconsistent, but there's kinda a solution for it, at least on Samsung phones. Some of you might know it, maybe plenty, but I bet many more don't, I'm talking about the Auto Adjust mode buried in the gallery app. It turns most of the pictures I found meh into great looking pictures, adds contrast, brings the colors back to life, and give me that Pixel like look to my pictures. It doesn't always work great, but it does the job at least 90% of the time on the pictures I am not happy with. Even works great with the pictures from previous phones, including the Huaweis.
Here are a few pictures from before and after, you can easily tell which is before and which is after. The first two pictures are taken on the S10+, the instrument cluster and the picture on the snow were taken using the Note 9.
P.s: to get to the mode, when in gallery and checking a picture, press on the pen icon(edit mode), then click on the three little circles at the bottom(look at the attached picture), then choose auto. Good luck.
I forgot to mention one more thing, when you're in edit mode, there is a little wand icon up top, it also does a very good job at tweaking your picture. If I am editing my pictures and I am not happy with the results I am getting out of one of these two options, usually the second one does the job for me. Either ways, I know that 99% of the time I am getting a much better picture than the camera app have given me.
Oh wow, the difference is insane!
Doesn't work very well for me, look at the two below , just over sharpened and far to much contrast View attachment 4721778

Yeah I like the look of OP's before pictures. Some of the after pictures also look goo, but like the snow one looks better before.
By the way the auto mode in the Google photos app is fantastic as well. Especially with outdoor shots and landscape using the pop feature really gives pictures a better punch. I think it's hilarious we all complain that we can't take DSLR level pictures on our cell phones but with a little bit of editing things can dramatically improve.
wow definitely adds more saturation and definition to the photos. makes the originals just look so muted.
Today I did some shots outside and unfortunately I got a bit disappointed with my new phone. Why do I get blurry images with the rear camera?
Look at my hair or jacket that looks totally blurred and also my hands. Yes I was moving in that picture towards the camera. That was not a fast movement more like walking super slow, such a pic would definitely not look that blurry on an iPhone.
Sorry I just made an account and can't post outside links as long as I dont have 10 comments, so just type: imgur dot com/a/dVvF4Zo
There are many reviews online that have photographed moving objects much better than I did and there is even one review I saw with a picture taken of a skiing person without any motion blur. So what am I doing wrong?
In this shot the camera AI was turned on and the photo resolution set to 10MP.
Any sample photo about your issues?

Now I read that you was moving, so it could be a problem if the device was taking a HDR picture...
