Pixelated images throughout many apps - Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers

I've noticed that images and videos in my device seem pixelated while text is sharp and clear. I took a screenshot to see if this is an issue in my screen but the pixelation is very visible in my computer aswell. It is most apparent in the Facebook app where text in videos is clearly pixelated and profile pictures seem blurry. It can also be viewed on adverts in the YouTube app.
I would've attach screenshots that would illustrate this issue but the forum dosen't let me...
Does anyone else have this issue?

[Q] Viewing full-screen video

I am noticing a problem when playing some videos in full-screen.
There is picture breakup in a wedge-shape between the 9 o'clock and 10 o'clock position on the screen (hope that makes sense!).
If watching the picture normally (ie in a box smaller than the full-screen size), the picture is OK.
If I zoom the box to fill the screen, the picture is still OK.
The problem comes with programs that don't allow a gradual zoom - ie either a small picture or a full-screen option. This covers most video players, and also the likes of BBC iplayer.
Do others see a similar problem, or is this only with my device?
If others see this problem, is there any workaround for it?
Is ICS likely to cure this?
Thank for any help,
Nikki

Viewing pictures in the gallery query!

Why is it that, when I look at pictures I've taken in the gallery, they look considerably less bright than when I looked through the screen just before I took them?
Any one else get this?

[Q] Photos + Gallery Help

Hello guys,
With a little help from my friend i believe i will solve this issue.
When i take some photos and use the video feature, to compile all the photos and make a beautiful video with some effects with all the photos i've taken, some of the photos (in the video) appear to be doubled (in the same image) during the video.
Some photos split in 2, other in 3.
What is this? Any help, would be appreciated.
Thanks

If you are talking about the ''video highlight'' feature in the gallery app, this is normal, its a built-in effect to compensate for pictures taken in portrait mode(1080*1920) when the video plays in landscape mode (1920*1080). If picture were not duplicated/cropped that way, there will be 2 black bars each sides for every pictures clicked in portrait.

Hello,
Thanks for your kind answer.
Let me explain better:
Today i take some photos. I select the photos and with video highlight feature, some of the photos i selected appear in the video doubled or tripled (in the same image). Like same picture: left side no zoom, right side with zoom.
Did i make myself clear? Do you understand?
Only in the video some photos appear with the image divided. Same picture both sides (sometimes with zoom, other times no zoom at all).
Thanks for your help
Cheers

Yes that was already clear, the issue you are talking about is not, its a built-in effect from the ''video highlight'' feature of the gallery app.
All HTC One do exactly the same thing.

[Q] contact photo for hangout

I noticed when I get a message on hangouts the photo on the watch is pixelated. Is there a way to fix that? When i get calls the contact photo on the watch is fine so not sure why the hangouts photo looks pixelated.
No fix currently. Its pulling pictures from the phone notification (not the same as contact picture)... since notification pictures are much smaller, their resolution is much lower. There is currently no fix Hopefully their will be.
