I got 2 different pics from 2 different people sent to my phone & both of them were Blurry. At first I thought my friend phone sucked but i got sent another picture by someone else and its Blurry too. I never had this problem before. I'm not sure if it's a 2.1 thing or a bug with the newest firmware, because I usually don't get pics sent to my phone & before those 2 I haven't had one sent since 1.6 and it worked fine since. I'm running the newest pre-rooted firmware by the way. I'll have more pics sent to my phone to see what happens.

When you say 'send', do you mean via mms? bluetooth? some other 3rd party app?
I haven't had any such problems..on either 1.6 or 2.1
I meant via MMS

I think it's a 2.1 problem with MMS, both my friend's and my own X10 has the same problem. The picture looks seriously compressed and blurry. Didn't have this problem on 1.6.
You're on T-mobile-USA, right?
It's T-mobile's fault. I saw this all the time when I used unbranded Nokias. If T-mobile doesn't recognize the phone, it sends the photos at a max default of 160x120... it's so that any phone can display it.
It probably used to work on T-mobile because they probably added the info for the X10 1.6 when they were testing it (since it was rumored that it was going to arrive for tmo-usa).
I know cyanogenmod has an option to set the phone to identify as a default android to the network - it receives full size pics then. I'm not sure if there's a program that can do this for the X10. Other option is to get Tmobile to add the phone's info to the network. I think someone did it with the e71 and they were receiving full sized pics. If enough people contact tmo (I doubt their entry level customer service can do anything, will probably need to be escalated), they will do it.
not sure if it's their fault, I notice this with one pic a friend sent me from his K800 or smth like that
when seeing it with mediascape it looks blurry
Yeah I do have t-mobile USA. Sigh well it's not a big deal I guess, just sucks. I'm hoping its a problem with 2.1 tho.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
It's not a behavior exclusive to TMO-US. Here's an interesting forum post. Hopefully it can answer any questions I can't.
Interesting quote from it:
"If your carrier does not recognize the User-Agent as one it has seen before, and they are using a well behaved MMSC, the MMSC will go fetch the UaProf xml file. More often than not however you'll encounter an MMSC that simply degrades to the lowest quality when a phone it doesn't know is encountered, or worse, it will simply drop the connection."
The picture looks blurry/compressed because it's a 160x120 images blown up to an 854x480 screen
and now i'm off to see if there's an apk or something as easy so that we can modify this ourselves for our X10s... lol
edit: we may be able to hex edit a file to do it... if nothing comes up by wednesday (work is a little too much right now), i'll give it a shot.
Thanks, it would be really great & helpful if you can do that
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I had a little time today but had a problem. I used root explorer to browse the system/apps folder and I couldn't find mms.apk. Maybe because the only other time i looked for mms.apk was on a phone with cyanogenmod, but is there a setting I need to enable to see it? Or do I need to adb into the phone?
I'll see if I get farther than step 1, haha. If it does work I'll start a thread in the Android Development forum.

ok i dont even know where to start... I dont usuallypost that many threads *****ing and complaining about my phone.. but enough is enough...
I haven't rooted...(well I did a while ago BUT)... I took part in that beta testing update crap so it unrooted me.. but these problems I have been having are since the LAST "update" which was well over two months ago now (I THINK)...
1st problem I am having is randomly I cannot input text into ANY thing on the phone... I am using smart keyboard pro.. but even when i change input methods it still does not register anything i am typing... in fact when i switch the phone to landscape mode the text box goes dark grey...
2nd also when this happens... nothing will happen when i attempt to make a phone call... i click the name .. nothing happens.. i go into dialer... i cant input the number i try other methods of dialing out nothing happens....
those are the two biggest problems I have as I need to communicate with my clients all day long i cannot have this type of inconsistency.
ohh and also the finger print scanner just plain doesn't work when i go through the process of setting it up.. it wont even register the "test" swipes... its like its broken all together.... any one else having ANY of these problems?? please help me
I've never had any of those problems ever and I've had my atrix since launch date. Maybe you have a deffective device call and see if your provider will do anything about.

to be honest... and i know it sounds pretty stupid.. but... i really dont know how to flash the sbf... i know what it is followed the thread on it when it first came out... but never put the effort into figuring out how to actually do it... and right now i just don't have the time to sit down and do that.... (lazy.. it is what it is) but that could very well fix my problem i guess right... ugghh
ok
good luck sell me ur atrix I need a second one for testing purposes
If you feel adventurous enough, try disassembling the device and reseating the LCD/digitizer cable.
I had an issue with a Samsung galaxy s vibrant about a month ago that would register touch inputs when it was just sitting on the table. I did what I suggested above and the problem was solved.

So you cant input any text and you cant make any phone calls. You know what sbf is youve seen the thread and realize that it could fix the problem but your admitedly too lazy to do it. Okay, thanks for sharing!

If you took some time to read, your problem would already be solved.
1. Your digitalizer may not be working well. Guarantee will cover this.
2. SBF from scratch to discard a software issue.
None of the issues you are experiencing is related to the phone being a dual-core mobile or not.
I've been able to solve some problems by reading and taking the advice from the forums.
If your Atrix looks ****ty, it's not on it. Mine shines!
Waste of forum space!
Warranty!
Bye!
Don't let the door hit you....
Err... you have a broken phone, bro. There are lots of bugs with the Atrix but yours is simply a broken phone.

C'mon man, flashing an SBF is simple! The instructions on XDA are very detailed. I am a lifelong Mac user, and even I figured out how to flash an SBF via Windows. It would not take more than a couple hours to download all the stuff you need, and re-flash an SBF. What's your build number now?

Does anyone get fuzzy or low res contact pics? I use hi-res pics for my contacts and they look like crap when someone calls me. I am on alien rom but if I remember correctly it did this on my factory rom before I even rooted or unlocked my phone. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
I've got the same issue with the stock ROM. They look good in the contact book, but once you call they look like crap. Interestingly, some of low quality photos look better.

It is a little bit of both. IIRC, it has something to do with the contacts app and/or google reducing the size of the image when it saves it as your contact's image. When it uses the image for a phone call it tries to enlarge the image which results in its poor quality.
The Photon does have a limitation that doesn't let you follow a work around that the EVO has. With the Evo you could choose the contact type as 'phone' or 'gmail'. The contacts that were saved as gmail were blurry but the ones saved locally on the phone looked normal. It was a slight pain, but you could create a contact with the same name and save it locally on the phone and link back to the original. From then on, it would pull the pic from the version saved on the phone and not gmail.
I have not been able to find a way to make the Photon do this or something similar.

This makes sense but then I can go into my contact and edit it and change the contact picture. Pick a picture from my gallery which would bypass any google saved contact pic. But then even the saved local picture is still blurry?
Contact pics do look horrible in the dialer. I recall EVO 4G looking just as bad.
I bought mine for christmas , I found a dead pixel and rotation stopped working..
I sent it back for replacement, it was such a hassle cuz i dont live in usa.
Finally i got the new one, for 2 weeks now , is stock and I havent download any app just to make sure that was not the issue on the first one..
well yesterday guess what........... rotation and auto zoom stopped working on this one
I dont even know what to think now, I think Amaze is a great phone thats what i bought it .. but im having too many issues with this phone.
I set up MMS in my phone and is only receiving it no matter what , Is there a problem with amaze and MMS messages ?
Well I wonder, if I unlock it and load a rom, will it fix my problems ?
thanks in advance
Wow man I haven't had any of these issues, but my phone was rooted almost instantly, sooo...... Dead pixel is a hardware issue, so a new ROM wouldn't help that, sounds like u just got really unlucky. The other issues may be fixed by a different ROM, but would it be worth it when you have HW issues? Sheesh... Sorry

Yea, your just very unlucky. as was i, i sent mine back because of my missing notification bar, got the new one and now when i go to install apps from my sd, my install button becomes unresponsive until i reboot it and i have roughly a 45 sec window till it becomes unresponsive again. new roms dont hurt and worth a try. fixed my problem.
Is there a problem with MMS messages, I cant send em, but I can receive it just fine.
You know all started when I took my phone to the phone company, they restarted the phone like 3 or 4 times cause mms was not sending .. On my way home I noticed the issues, I been restarting my phone since then waiting for a miracle ...
Today in the morning , I restarted my phone again with big hopes.. And is working again.. yeyyy
But is weird that auto focus and rotation are linked ..

Actually I took it to the phone company.. they tried over and over.. and the phone never sent it.. but it did receive em
no matter what, I know they tried different configurations, but on 3.5 platform
I seen the commercial and watching reviews about taking pictures with a better face feature. You should be able to put the camera into the better face feature mode and when it takes a series of 6 pictures in a row you should be able to go back and select the best of the 6 faces for each person in the picture. When I do this on my phone the review process where you select the best face for each individual from the series of the bust shot pics it took. I never get a chance to select a different face other than the one it some how choose out of the series...I'd this an issue since I'm on a rooted phone... I've only tried this with two faces in the pic at the same time any suggestions tips or tricks?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
You need too click/press on the face of each person and it will show you the faces to choose from.
When I do that or only comes up with the one choice or already picked I do not get a choice of faves to choose from...

Yes, I've been rooted for a week or so now and have restarted my phone a few times since (but not as often as i use to have to with all my previously less capible phones )
I can get this feature to work with one person (but why does iot matter when only one person is in the shot, i can pick the best of 6 from the burst feature anyway). When i have 2 subjects in the photo is where it seems to go wrong.
Well I feel like an ass I just tried it and made sure I didn't shale the phone so much and the subjects stood still and it worked like a charm.

Bought an HTC One today. The camera appears to be defective. It has trouble focusing and is always blurry on the top right-hand side quadrant of the photo.
Since I'm pre-paid and bought from an individual, should I go to T-Mobile for a warranty replacement or direct to HTC? Obviously it's under warranty since it hasn't been out for over a year.
I know AT&T were jerks about warranty claims if you didn't purchase direct from them but don't know about T-Mobile.
Thanks.

The phone is definitely outside the 14 day window and I'm not the original owner. Guess I'll go to HTC and play that game.
The physical hardware is clearly under warranty, so hopefully they don't give me the runaround.
Before returning try changing the video resolution from super hd to hd and see if that fixes it. Then you should be able to switch it back and it should work fine. It doesn't just fix the video camera but the still camera as well.

Now you tell me. I boxed it up and shipped back today.
Here is what the average photo looked like. Just terrible. Tried a hard reset, reset the camera settings, etc. Nothing worked. I think it's just plain defective.
Night photos are grain city too. Nothing good about it at all. FYI, I had and sold an HTC One (regretted it, bought another) and the photos were fantastic. This one is just a dud (hence why the seller only asked $450 cash - now I see why).
HTC support asked me if I wiped the lens with a lint free cloth. WTF do you think, lol?
Tap to focus just didn't work. In fact, nothing worked. Every photo is terrible. I really hope HTC support doesn't give me the run around.
(my backyard - yes we have two dogs and yes their pee kills the grass, but they are worth it)
Yeah that's about what mine looked like before. I had just written HTC to find out what I needed to do the replace it. This was literally just last night. I was up late about to flash the 1.29 Rom to see if that fixed it. I looked through the settings to see if there was a way to change the auto focus settings which there only is for video. I changed the resolution setting just to see if it might help and it completely fixed it. Not sure why but it seems like it was "stuck". It may or may not have been the same as your issue but sounds like it was. Whatever though, you get a new one so it all works out.

Anyone know how fast HTC repairs/replaces and ships back? They will receive the phone today and I'm hopeful to receive it back by this weekend. Realistic?
Well, just got the phone back. Slow ground shipping!
Aaaand HTC did absolutely nothing to the phone. The pictures are all still blurry. Infuriated right now. Two weeks and they did absolutely nothing, just shipped it right back to me with no notes, no repair, nothing.
Called up HTC. Of course they have "no notes" as to what was done to the phone. Here's a tip: nothing was done.
The "escalations team" was closed so they told me to call back tomorrow.
Just so I'm not crazy, is this considered a normal "ultrapixel" photo from this phone? I just took it. Basically, the tap to focus does absolutely nothing. I'm about to unload this junk to someone else and make it their problem. I can't go a full month without a working phone as my only option is to send it in again and have the HTC techs go "yep, looks good from here" and send it right back to me again. Just replace your defective hardware guys. Not hard.
It would'nt hurt to try
The worst they would say is no. Ive heard story's of people getting replacements from t mobile in your situation, if it was a manufacturers defect. I would just go into a store and be totally polite friendly with the rep and show that your completely bummed out about your new phone not working the way it should. From my experience, kindness can go a long ways with t mobile.

Not to press the depressing issue any more..but is that pic actually a focused zoomed in shot ..meaning your actually farther away then where the picture makes it look.
Was thinking that maybe your just to zoomed in with the shot... No photo ever looks any good fully zoomed ..I usually walk up closer less zoom =clearer picture.
But its just a idea I know your mad as hell .. And I agree the photo is horrific .
