okay, i dont have 4g lte in my specific area yet. however, i went to a friends house about 10-15 miles away, and he actually had a sprint tower with 4g lte right next to him. the phone was fast! but when i was using my apps that have pictures, all the pictures were ruined! distorted!! they looked blocky, or had grey blocks on them..it was weird and textured. like as if it was a half downloaded picture.
what happened!!?!!? when i came home everything was back to normal
Which apps? And what media ?Ones sent to you in messages or in your gallery? You need to be more specific. LTE does not have a direct effect on image quality in terms of what you are describing. That's just QoS from area to area.

wtf pics (a redditt picture app)
wallbase (wallpaper app/website)
my girlfriend has an s4, and she used pinterest at this place, and same thing. the pics were screwed up.
the gallery was fine. not sure about messages, no pics sent during that time.
after i got home, and some of the apps updated with new pics, the pics came out normal
i just foud it very odd, and i hoped it wasnt linked to 4g because i know eventually we will get it.

So after having this phone for a day I have discovered some quirks. One of which is when using zoe it takes 20 stills and a 3 second video clip but the stills dissapear somewhere into a black hole as can't find them on the phone.
However when I plug the phone into my desktop they show up where expected in the DCIM folder.
So I thought well what does dropbox do to manage the zoes. Answer NOTHING !
I checked my dropbox and have over 100 zoes in a folder so now I have turned off instant upload as I ser this as a headache to manage my photos.
Let me know if any of you guys have some workarounds for the above two issues.

Yeah it's a pain with Dropbox, I don't know how it can be managed.
On the phone, you can just scroll through the Zoe clip and see each individual still, so it's well managed.

This is really a BIG PROBLEM for me!! When i use Zoe feature it spams my dropbox to death...
I have hundreds of pictures which are nearly all the same and i have to delete them manually in dropbox... such a pain!
I know. Stupid HTC !!

Or turn off automatic photo up load to drop box and manually select the photo to up load

I am coming from a One X (att) and I dropped all of my photos from my One X into the 100 Media folder of my One.
When I go into my gallery, I can only see like 2 of these pics along with the photos that I have taken on my One.
Any way to be able to see all my photos in the gallery?

seems like your having a similar issue to me. Would you mind downloading an image off the net from your phone and saving it to your downloads and see if it appears in gallery?
Just downloaded this and it showed up fine...

Sucks for me. :/ Can't get anything to appear in my gallery besides screenshots and camera taken pictures. It sucks. Have no idea what to do.

Well... good news is... it's trivial... I am sure it will get worked out by someone non-noobish (not me) soon.
In the meantime... badass phone
go to "my photos" then change it to "albums"

Hi, I have black htc one from sprint.
I used to have a Galaxy S2 prior to upgrading to HTC One a few months ago.
On the S2, whenever I sent or received a txt message with a photo, the photo would be sent/received in full size, i.e not compressed.
For example, on my galaxy s2, when I recv a txt msg with a photo, I could open it in my SMS app and zoom in to view details of the photo.
But, on my htc one, whenever someone sends me a txt msg with a photo, it comes out really small,( compressed). So, im unable to even view it full screen sometimes, much less zoom in. Sometimes, I am able to , but most times I am not.
Also, whenever I snap a pic and txt it to someone, they tell me that pic is not full size and that it comes off smaller, fuzzy and they cannot zoom in to the pic on their phone.
So, it seems HTC is auto compressing pictures sent/received on the HTC one.
Is there a setting to change this back to normal? I hate the fact that I can see or send pics properly from the best phone on the market.
thanks
I think GoSMS pro has an option in the settings to keep pictures at high quality.. you could try this sms app from the play store

I think this is carrier dependent because it's your carriers network your sending it through.

Dont think the carrier is the issue in my case, since I could send/recv full size images from my older galaxy s2 phone.
problem started when i got the htc one
Was at a Verizon store yesterday played with the X, very nice device, one thing I couldn't locate/figure out, nor could the rep....
how do you change pic/video mp size before taking the pic/video?
Are all the pics taken in 10mp size (or a different default size), or can that be adjusted?
If so, where can Those settings be found?
The standard settings section had the basics, HDR, flash, Geo, tap to focus, slo mo, gesture etc. I just couldn't locate where to change the size of pics and video.
(Btw the X's they had at store were not on kit kat, so I know camera wasn't on latest firmware)
Anyone know?

The settings you found in the app are the only settings there are. They REALLY dumbed down the camera app. I hate how little you can control on it.
I'm coming from a 2.5+ year HTC Thunderbolt, and the Moto X is a real neat device.
But I think it's the only phone I know of that you can't preset the size pic/video you'd like.
Kind of strange, considering past dumb phones I had could do this.
Taking pics and video in the highest mp will definitely fill up the phone's memory fast.
Maybe future firmware will allow this, who knows.

I was a little peeved when I found out the picture/video size couldn't be adjusted. I told myself I didn't need all that crap from the S3 so I got the MotoX and then turned out that one small thing would drive me nuts.
Just go find an app in the market. Camera+ is one

That may be a possible solution... but this seems an absolutely silly omission from the stock camera app (especially the video).

Problem is, will 3rd party camera app launch with wrist flick, plus the tap to take pic and keep finger down for multiple is nice, as well as taking pics while recording a video, I don't think these features will work with a 3rp party app.
Motorola X exterior is customizable, they built a whole website for that customizable part, can even add a name to boot, but customize a photo before taking it, oh boy.
And I completely understand they wanted to create a phone that just works for the average Joe, but at the least they could have had maybe a 5mp and 2mp preset under the default 10mp. They can still keep white balance etc.
Plus I think camera would be even faster taking 2mp pics (not that it has to be).
Like mentioned, maybe they'll pick up on this and change in future firmware (which is at least possible to do).

I've been meaning to root my gs5 but I'm wondering if there's any camera mods. Aside from debloating, increased camera performance is really all I need (it usually takes me about 3-5 tries to get a non blurry picture) but I'm worried that once I'm rooted, I can't complain to att and get a new s5 since it might be a hardware problem
Tl;dr anyone found a good camera mod or know someone who is working on one?

i opened a thread about this and have still yet to find a solution... i might have to go back to using a 3rd party app.. CameraZoom+ worked pretty decent for me on my previous s4 and note3.
i have noticed that turning on "Tap to take pic." and tapping the screen to capture the photo has been working decent.

possibly.. i noticed that when the camera snaps the pic and it flashes the white boarders.. that particular moment doesnt seem to be the actual moment that the photo is taken.. so maybe when the screen flashes, we think the photo is taken and move our hands out of instinct ?

Though the nexus camera works great on the nexus line I've noticed on my so when I use it to capture something that is moving like my child there is a delay in capture...the screen will flash with what I thought I got but when I look at the picture it will be a delayed shot often missing what I wanted. The Samsung camera is not alol that bad.

Yeh I don't get it either, I never take blurry photos. See so many complaints on here and other forums and no clue why, my friends S5 doesn't take blurry pics either. I only turned off pic stabilization. I just make sure the the image is in focus before shooting.
Has everyone removed the factory plastic off the lens?
Going in and out of gallery from the camera app is slow. Is it just me?
Pretty fast here.

It takes about 3-4 seconds to go from WITHIN the camera app to view the picture taken.
