[Q] Problem with MMS pictures very low quality - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I have an xperia SP (5302) bought in hongkong, and using it in France with Orange operator.
I'm facing an issue with MMS pictures (before in FW.257 and also now flashed in FW.284)
When I receive an MMS with a photo, the little picture preview inside the MMS thread is fine.
But when I click on it to see it full screen, or when I save it to my albums, the quality is extremely low.
The picture saved weight is only 2,5ko
Basically it seems that the little preview is simply stretched to fit the screen size, and the full size picture is not really downloaded.
Bottom line, the picture is terrible and I trash every message..
Has anyone seen the same problem ?
Is there any patch around from that, a quick search on google, xda, and sony didn't give me anything, for xperia SP at least.
thanks for your feedback and glad to see the XDA community so much alive after all these years.

Not come across this myself as I don't really send our receive mms.
Could it be the quality of the picture sent is not very good and then it is made smaller to fit in side MMS?
You could try sending yourself a MMS with a PIC set to HQ and see if this is the same.

Yes that's what I did.
I tried sending from different phones, different pictures size, different sources, and the result is always the same : BAD

Sorry I don't have any other ideas....

Gallery and reality !

When I took some photos on my OB, I noticed that the quality of the pictures in my OB were far more worst than when watched on my laptop.
Tell me your experience, has that happened to you ?

Can you give us an example of your taken photos?
And what would that help !? When the picture was watched from my stock gallery.....zooming made it very blurry but when i watched the very same picture on my laptop, the quality was flawless.
I hope u get it now

The stock gallery is shi*. Try out another gallery app like QuickPic, you'll see the difference man.

Because I don't have that problem. My OB stock gallery was fine...
yup that is a common problem with most android phones, not just ours.
HTC modded their gallery app to overcome this problem.
That's not a problem first of all because this way the images load a lot faster and don't lag because of the 3d effect. The gallery doesn't make them blury just resizes them, who would need it at 5 mpx?also you could always try another gallery app.

very wrong point of view. looking to blurry pictures is sucks. i hardly see small details like faces. we spent hundreds of dollars to this machines. i want best music quality, best picture quality, best gps quality, best call quality, etc. if possible.
btw, quickpic is great. thanks for advice.

Don't believe your camera result by viewing via your phone screen. 5MP jpeg sized into your 800x480 4" screen, of course it will look nice.
professional studio photographer usually using macbook (which is using IPS panel), to direct preview photos instead of their SLR's built in LCD.

He also said viewing at pc better than viewing OB.
I think you will find NO mac book even the pro series has IPS display.
No profesional will use them in studio if choice is given, they are mainly on location solution.
Saying that the p970 screen gives good colour acuracy compared to my CALIBRATED IPS screen. This was the main reason for me buying it as I can't stand the i-junk.
And coming to the point.
Yes the gallery doesn't show properly the pics, but shows them reasonably and provided you do not zoom does the job. My main gripe with yhe galery though is the structure and controls. Too slow and controls are just dumb.
If 100% zoom is required there are plenty of programs in the market that will do it nicely.
QuickPic is indeed fast ,options are easy to sortout. I like functionality instead off visual candy

Problem with camera

Hello, I have a problem in my camera.
In all the photos show a black spot, someone knows how to help remove it?
Already cleaned, but it does not, check out this video to better understand the problem: http://gustavoluppi.com/video/lgp990.mp4
Better if you post some image samples

Is this fault in the picture or a problem when your phone trys to display them. Can you view them without problems for e.g. on your PC?

Camera Resolution
i getting lot of grains even in flash

Big photo in call for 4.0.4

Big photo in call
The test was conducted on firmware Droid Project Z from a reputable Straiker13 (and probably will go on the other, verify)
To correctly display the photo on the contact must be reassigned.
I recommend using the photo / picture of high resolution to adequately display the image.
Larger image is displayed only when the outgoing and incoming call when the phone is not locked.
Installing the tradition through rekaveri. Do not forget about backup, just in case
The original post
Is working Fine tested by me, this mod can be done to when I call.
Because the mod only works when I make the call
Thanks a lot

[Q] GPe ROM - Blurry Screenshots?

I have the vanilla 4.3 OTA flashed on my phone and any screenshots i take are fine but when i send them via any medium they get blurry. Including SMS and hangouts. I thought it might be compression but i dont see why hangouts would compress the pics? Also i had this problem on 4.2.2 but I never had it on my galaxy nexus.
If anyone can help that would be great
Thanks
The screen shots are in 1080p so it could be compressing the pics

[Q] Blurred contact pictures

When I receive a notification of SMS/email, a picture of the contact appears behind the card, which is a nice feature. However, these pictures are always horribly blurred, whereas they appear clear on my phone. Is this a common behaviour or is it just my set-up? I do recall previously having issues on android with contact pics being blurred due to the way they synced between android phone/facebook/google so I am wondering if this is related.
Thanks
This is because it uses the picture that is in the notification. This picture is low resolution on the phone, hence it is low resolution on the watch.

Thanks - but the pictures are not low resolution on the phone as they look fine when there is a call etc and that is on a 1080p display. I think it is maybe because the watch is pulling the picture from the gmail contact (i.e. on google's cloud as opposed to my phone) which is why it is happening?
It's pulling the photo from the notification. Not the contact information.

Ah OK - so there is no fix then - that's just the way it is?
