I've noticed that thumbs on the gallery of pictures that have strong gradients look awful, but once you open them up it looks decent, but that's not the case on the music players like google music, shuttle, the album art looks horrendous on the app and on the widget, any workaround for this?

it kinda looks like the pictures on the left and on the middle , when it should like the picture on the right

You can try loading this 2 pictures on your device so you'll see what I mean, plain awful, or maybe is just my device?

Hahaha the pictures are just album covers
960x960 pictures are more than enough to displayed as album art try looking at the thumbs on your gallery, the ideal thing would be play the songs on your device, but that would involve illegal music sharing
I have google play music that has access to 18 million songs. One of those?

I havent come across issues with videos only on the gallery and the music players, how does this screen look for you? (It's a screen cap so of course you wont be able to see it, but I dont have a camera with me )
Thank you for taking the time to test this
I used to do a lot of picture and video compression in the past and have seen this issue before. Without getting all technical it has to do with how the image was compressed and the high level of resolution this phone has.
I would bet money if you could get the original PNG or PSD file and converted it yourself using 100% quality for the jpeg you would not see it.
Exchanging these images back and forth and recompressing them is not helping either[emoji23]

I am seeing banding in the original Bjork image on my BenQ 24" display due to what I suspect is a lot of compression at that resolution. It's easily evident in the background when viewing the whole image and the feathery items are more obvious when magnifying.
The exact same banding (i.e., not worse) seems evident on my Nexus 6, either using Google Photos or Perfect Viewer app.
EDIT: I downloaded and viewed the 8K JPEG version of "Tropical Beach" at this HDR page, and again the effects of dithering, etc. looked the same in full screen and when magnifying between my PC display and the Nexus 6 screen.

This used to be a big thing in Android way back in the day... but it wasn't the screen/display, it was the APP causing it. You could open a picture in the Browser, then open it in the Gallery, and there would be branding in the picture in the gallery, but not in the browser.
It's not resolution causing it, it's jpeg compression.

Hi,
I was testing my phone's graphics power. I'm using latest MIUI, so I downloaded the same wallpapers that MIUI has by default and copied them to SD, but when I set them as my wallpaper, their quality is reduced alot. But when I set it via the default wallpapers that MIUI has (the same wallpaper) it gets alot alot better quality than the one set from SD. It's the same for all other images, not just MIUI wallpapers...
(By the way when I view the wallpaper image in my PC its quality/res is fine)
*bump* anyone please?
I figured out that when you want to select an image via wallpaper gallery to set it as wallpaper, the gallery app zooms on a specific location of the image (the square cadre). Does anyone know how to disable that zooming feature so it displays the whole wallpaper and doesn't focus on just one specific place of it?
So no one knows how to?
Don't use the gallery app to set wallpapers.. Use other tools, search the market.

The square can cover most of the picture, with the exception of the proportions (Max the height, but maybe a little of the sides get cut off). Or at least, I can do it...

How do you mean you can't stretch the square? I just grab top and bottom, and stretch (note; if you touch a single point, it zooms in for some retarded reason)

Personally I use dodel wallpaper maker. Its in the market for 99 cents. It allows for full image wallpapers and also portrait non-scrolling.
Many others that just want a higher quality non reduced image use wallpaper set and save, its free.

You need to download hi res pictures and stretch the square to cover as much as possible. Gallery has nothing to do with it... If you zoom something it gets pixelated.

is the image retention issue solved on the production unit and how's the sky video chat image quality (when viewed on other device)?

"There’s only 1 speaker on it (so watching films is in mono, and only out of the right side of the device)"
Are you sure? All tear-downs said two speakers were present for stereo sound from what i remember.

'Sky' video chat? If you meant Skype - it's awful! I just skyped a friend with a Nexus 7 and the orientation was wrong on the viewing window, and it was very poor quality.
We tested Google Hangout after and it was a lot better.

Thanks for the quick verification. Based on some reviews for the google IO units, the Skype video chat image is choppy and awful. This however seems to be related to the Skype application so hope Skype will release updates to fix this soon.
You can find many image retention topic related to the IO units. Basically if you display a bright logo or image on screen for short period of time and then switch to a darker background screen you'll still see a faint logo/image stuck on the screen but may disappear soon. (kinda like screen burn in on those plasma TVs but much shorter interval.)

I think it offers a degree of asthetics though to have a uniform grill going across, which may be the reasoning behind it.

Skype is horrible to begin with I think.
I had it on my atrix, my xoom, and my SGS3... they are horrible! even on wifi.
we use tango instead now. I really wish skype would work though, because it can easily be used on computers too.

Fair enough - apologies, it would appear there are 2 speakers under the 1 grill but as I said - that's completely pointless. You lose any kind of stereophonic effect by stuffing both speakers to one side under 1 grill.
The playbook (for all its flaws!) does this right, it's a great sounding device.
Updated my original post to give a bit of an FAQ, and confirm that it's possible to view Adobe Flash Player content in the browser on the Nexus 7, albeit not in full-screen unfortunately.
can you take a photo for the warranty policy?
is it have global warranty or local warranty only?
Please check this out.
Today I took the calculator and this is what I see. (This is a photo taken from the screen issues thread. I couldnt get this on my camera but I just wanted to show you guys that this is exactly what I see.) These kinds of artifacts or whatever you may call it appears during video playback too. Everything else displays fine on my note. White is pure white, No tints, no hue changes, nothing. But I see these kinds of artifacts a lot and I have severe black clipping too.
Please help me out here. Those of you who are facing an exact same issue, please report here with a photo of your screen.

Please note that the screen looks flawless otherwise. Whites are white, no tints, no lines, no hue changing, nothing. But view anything dark and these kinds of atrefacts seem to pop up.

But my question is, do you people have the Calculator app showing up like this? Is this a hardware defect? Its because I've seen some photos of screens which display the calculator this way and also screens which display a blue banding which seems to be a lot better compared to this.
the sad part is my screen is flawless when displaying other colours and even while browsing and as far as what I've seen, every screen seems to have some or the other issue which makes me scared to get the screen replaced. Here in India, we dont get the phone replaced. Only a part which is found to be defective is replaced.
I'm not sure if the banding you have happens to pretty much everyone else but I took a screenshot of my calculator app, and the 'banding' is there.

best would be to download different quality images with dark and bright ones and check for distortions when viewing full screen.
For movie issues, dark movies or clips on youtube can help. Getting clipping reduced see links above or do as is needed go to Samsung and complain for bad product

Hello satishp, I seem to have paid close attention to this 'issue' only after reading this thread you have initiated. Also, the only videos I have are the ones I recorded using the device itself and these were primarily done during daytime. I have not noticed any considerable peculiarity with images
Could you point me to specific images and videos as a reference point? Perhaps a video(s) you watched on YouTube or a specific movie and an image(s) you referred to from a website?
I can use these to test my device and report back quickly.

Search for the Iron Man trailer in Youtube. Check out the dark areas.
Even try watching any videos with a dark scene. You'll notice it.
You wont see any issues with bright videos with good lighting, Check out the dark ones.
And watch these in a preferably dark or dimly lit room.
I have seen 4 SGN's and all have this issue upto variable degrees. My first note had hue problems, my cousins note has moderate clipping. my 2nd note have clipping too. The note of service centre guy was almost perfect, although it also failed the gamma test. Since i cudnot sell my seal-packed note without taking huge losses, i opened it and stopped myself onion peeling it. Need to convince myself of the other gudness of it except the black clipping.

Now that the AOSP/Google Camera has been launched on the play store, i thought it would be interesting start a thread to collect images and impressions of the Google Camera, particularly in contrast to the Touchwiz camera. The touchwiz camera and it's, i'll say, "pseudo-intelligent" mode picking has confused a lot of users early on, so this may be another option for some users. I have gone so far as to validate that all of the photo modes in the google camera work on my 900V.
here's a play store link to the google camera. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...utm_source=42matters.com&utm_medium=WidgetWeb
The focus mode w/ the google camera sucks. Having to move the camera and keep the subject centered has been a real challenge so far.
I do like swiping to the sides to bring up gallery and options. Slick.

That's just with that funky tilt-shift focus mode though right? I tried it on a beer bottle and it didn't really work...maybe on a larger subject it has potential.
Couple sample shots from me real quick....at least it's shooting at 16mp.

Same theme....touchwiz camera is slightly brighter, but oddly the google camera appears to have a bit more dynamic range?

is it me or is there a little oversharpening on the touchwiz photos, i'm seeing that with my videos too.

I'm seeing just the opposite... images taken in moderate light show more processing artifacts than with the google camera (no flash or HDR, all other settings the same). It's not a huge difference, but it's certainly noticeable.
I prefer the stock camera app

Yeah, I agree.. After doing my own pics, definitely seeing more noise in Google Cam :good:
I am getting thirsty making the comparison.
Does sphere work with the Google camera?
Thanks

Yes.
As you guys probably know, this port of Google's Pixel app has been doing the rounds on XDA and various users report much better quality photos with it on Snapdragon devices.

Has anyone tried this on the Nokia 8? Does it work? If yes, could you post some sample photos and comparison with Nokia's own default camera app? I'm especially interested in low-light situations.
Thank you
yes, hdr+ is giving me awesome photos.
sadly we need to edit media_profiles.xml to add profiles for slow-motion and HFR.
can't alter the system for now as there is no bootloader unlock (thus no custom recovery or root).
Thank you.
I mostly care about HDR+ so that's great to hear.
Have tried the Google camera app and I believe at the moment I get better results. The Nokia software algorithms need some work I think.

I will update as further messing with the camera that the night shots with flash on with the pixel are shockingly bad. The flash is not working correctly. Pictures are not being lit up enough. It's a dual tone flash on the Nokia but with pixel APK, it's not firing the brighter flash

This was a good post to get the history and to learn about the different versions.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/modded-google-camera-hdr-60fps-video-t3658552
I'd say start with the 3.8 (linked in post above, without any letter after it) version but 1.4-version will probably be fine as well.
Note to others downloading the file: The Android Download-app doesn't open APKs, you need to install a file manager app to open it.
So next question, which are the recommended settings in the app? In the 3.8 version there are tons of values you can select. HDR+ isn't enabled per default.
I tried on Nokia8 and I think no one notice that it has small color dots and line in every photo that process HDR at the bottom of picture. I tried every setting and still can't figure out how to remove. It's also appear in skip24ftlb's photo.
Seems ok the shots come out slightly better than nokia stock but the bottom of the photo has these blue and red bars (looks like some graph lines) on every photo that you point at a bright source of light and reduce the brightness on screen to absolute minimum. Happened on all photos that I took of the sunrise with heaps of bright orange clouds.
It stickout more when the bottom half of the photo is darker down the bottom.
Cheers

I am not sure which version it is there are too many digits in the file downloaded.
file name is gcam 4.4.012 blah blah blah and ends with v.1.1.apk so Is it 4.4 or 1.1. If it is 1.1 can you please direct me to 1.4
Thank you

I tested with 1.4, 1.5, 3.7, 3.8, 4.0 and all of it happens. So i think there are no other options to avoid this.
Can someone share some pictures?
There are a lot of versions of GCam modded.
On HTC U11 topic, there's a large thread where many users are debating which is the best.
Can someone take a look how does it gets on Nokia 8?
Mine still not here. Maybe on the end of the month.
