My Streak used to take very good photos which came out natively at 2592x1944 pixels, around 300kb in size. But suddenly that has changed and now photos are only 640 x 480 pxls and about 80kb. I've made no changes nor can I find any means of returning to the higher quality. Can anyone shed any light, please?
When using the camera there are settings for this. I am on my IPAD so i cannot provide instructions. Maybe later when I am on the phone.
Hi,
There is a strip of very small settings buttons down the left hand side of the viewfinder area, touch the top one and a scrollable box comes up, somewhere in there are the resolotion settings. Make sure you check the superfine option, then pick 5MP option.
The buttons are really fiddly, it takes me a couple of tries to get the settings menu up.
Hope this fixes your problem.
The pics I take with my streak are usually around 800MB

Not on mine I'm afraid! There are five buttons on the right side (brightness/contrast, store location, white balance, flash mode and zoom), but none whatsoever on the left side???
I remeber that being the case before the Froyo update. Are you on 2.2?

Yes, I am. And I had high quality photos both before and after updating to 2.2. It's only recently that this has happened and I can't think what I must have done to have caused it, nor can I find any resolve. The last thing I want to do is a cold reset, so if anyone can suggest how I might be able to reinstall just the camera app, perhaps?

HI AidanBell,
the option to set the quality of the camera is just below the brightness and contrast option.
Once you click on it just scroll it and you will find it.
Thank you so much. At first I still couldn't find it, but eventually I realised that the brightness/contrast menu is scrollable - which is not in any way obvious nor have I ever known before! So of course scrolling down I've now finally found all the quality controls. So simple and yet so beautifully hidden! Thanks again to everyone who helped with this. Job done.

I have issues with some applications getting cut off at the bottom of the screen when using roms such as the AT(HoneyComb)RIX 3.4 EXT4 or the Alien one. I can still scroll to the bottom of the application using the rest of the screen but there will still be part of the screen gone the whole time. Off the top of my head it does this with my SSF4AE guide app, on every single page. Also using handcent I have a similar problem; the background is not appearing fully when I go to my list of text messages
Ive been using Alien for weeks and dont have this problem on any on my 700+ apps, including Handcent which is prob the one I use more than any other.
I had the SSF4AE app problem on both but the handcent problem was only on AT(HoneyComb)RIX 3.4 EXT4

I just thought about this, my photobucket app has appeared to be shrunk ever since Gingerbread, you can see it doesn't quite take up my screen.. But it sounds like you are having the opposite problem, the app is too big to be displayed on the screen right?
Edit: i think its not showing correctly because of my photobucket privacy settings.. But it is just slightly smaller than the screen, it has a black border all the way around. Also I dont know what SSF4AE is.
Its just a guide for a fighting game that I use frequently.
It's supposed to look like this http://i.imgur.com/NaI1e.jpg
but it looks like this http://i.imgur.com/oDByS.jpg
I didn't notice until now that you mentioned your photobucket app being smaller that the sides are cut off a little too as well in this. I just took a picture from the web and edited it btw.
This thread says to download "spare parts" and toggle compatibility mode, Im gonna try that now and let you know.
Edit: Yup that worked for me! that should fix the problem for you too. Thank you for asking the question because it motivated me to find this simple fix. Im gonna hit your thanks button for that, if it works for you feel free to do the same lol. Also, strangly enough Spare Parts was also one of those apps that had a scaling prob haha, but its fixed now in that app as well. I cant say for sure yet if unchecking the "compatibility mode" causes any negative effects on other apps but it for sure fixed the scaling issue in photobucket and spare parts. Additionally, the "fancy input animation" is pretty cool it makes the keyboard slide up instead of just appear. Enjoy.
Yup that fixed my problem with the SSF4AE guide app. Thanks a lot . The handcent issue is still there but it might just be a problem with the theme..
so anyone whos linked to facebook, when you get a text and you use the stock app, do you notice low crappy quality images on the lock screen? same with a call?
their actual fb images aren't this low of quality; i can see them in the people widget and the quality looks fine. however, they're much smaller and lower resolution on the lockscreen when you get a text. any thoughts on this? i just started using the stock messaging app again so i'd like to know
I have noticed. It looks horrible. I wish HTC would fix it.
Same here, they're nasty.
ok good, as long as its happening to us all. hmm, there's gotta be a way to fix that.
We can fix. We just need root
lol how? nobody fixed that on the incredible roms running sense 2.0 and above wtih the 3.0 lockscreen....it was always ****ty quality lol
I just had my girlfriend call and text me both. I am not having this issue.
And yours is linked to facebook for her, or is it her google image?

3 users of this phone I know of have this same issue... I highly doubt any one with the pictures synced with facebook are not having this issue.
My wife's picture seems OK. Can't take a screenshot of the lock screen but it looks the same as her contact picture which was synced from facebook. Bottom contact

You can take a pic of the lock screen just like you do for that. Hold home and power. It works.

Everyone is either FB/Twitter/or G+
Wow, last poster has some nice image quality there. Mine's got that low-quality FB imagetag, however. Would really like to make it better.
My contact photos don't look so hot on the lockscreen either.

I've noticed that my Google Maps app seems to be running at a very low resolution, so everything looks blurry. I've tried manually setting the resolution to WQHD, but that doesn't seem to fix it. I'm on the lastest version of Google Maps, with Mate 10 software version B131C636. Anyone else have this problem?

Same thing happens for me.
I'm having a lot of issues with this phone (can't disable vibration forever, the lock when locking an app in the multitasking menu disappears when closing the app, undeletable notifications, screen gets so scratched, vibration turns on again after when you enter again in silent mode ...)
What resolution are you using when running maps? Settings > Display > in here you have several items to choose from but I believe "Screen resolution" is the one you need to try to manually adjust to see if it helps at all. If not then maybe a factory reset is in order...sorry!
I'm still having this issue
Hi!
I have this issue too in my Mate 10, I have the resolution setting @ intelligent mode.
I tried deleting the Maps data and doing a factory reset, same issue.
Still no solution?
No such issue here. I am using Mate 10.

Why ? Because you are 3 to have this issues, every mate 10 owner must have it ? Maybe it's firmware related, region (of devices) related, screen (maybe differente quality of hardware used).
Before claiming its all mate 10 issues, try to find out if you're more than 3.

There's only one way to test this.
It's to take a picture from a word, very close that we can see the pixels and compare it
I also have a blurry Google Maps on my Mate 10. Google Maps Go is even worse. Although, the maps inside the Google Trips app is just fabulous! So crispy and detailed! So Google definitely can do better even on a Mate 10. I reported it to Google, but got no answer yet.
Anybody else having issue with all apps on the second screen showing in windowed mode instead of full screen.
Since the last update it seems to have made the default setting to be windowed modem and no longer getting fullscreen.
I can't seem to get it to go back the way it was before.

It does not, all sound comes from the phone itself.
The back camera is a little clunky to use with the dual screen since you have to have it folded out basically into Tablet mode to take pictures but its not too bad.

Ok thank you for replying. I don't take many pictures and only asked because it looks like there is a camera notch. Shame, I really wish they'd included speakers with the dual screen.
Thanks again.
Yeah it was an odd design choice. There is a camera cutout but no camera to match the main screen i suppose.
There is also a less noticable speaker cutout.
So when you have the case closed you can answer calls using the google assistant button without opening the case and the phones speaker passes through.

They kept the camera cutout for the symmetrical appearance , which is good.
But unfortunately lg notch hideout option won't work on 2nd screen.
I hate notch that's the thing keep me not update to lg device since lg g6.
But because of their mobile shutdown i had to update to v60 from g6.
Hello all. My coworker lost a portion of her dominant thumb recently. She's on a Pixel 2 on Android 11. Is there any way she can permanently make the phone's screen only take up a smaller portion of the whole display? So in essence, to have a decent chunk of padding on the left and top parts of the screen so she can always reach every part of the screen?
Her phone is rooted. We tried a few DPI and resolution changer apps, but none of them did what we want which is to have a bunch of padding to the left and from the top, permanently.
Preferably the setting would be permanent and not needed to be turned on, and will work across all apps. We tried the "One-Handed Mode" module for Gravitybox but it did nothing when applied.
Is there any way to accomplish this with an ADB command or some sort of app that we haven't found yet?
Anyone?
If downgrading to Android 10 is an option, overscan would work like a charm.
wm overscan [reset|LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM]
wm density [reset|DENSITY]
Google it...

Sadly downgrading isn't an option but is there any way to do this in Android 11 if she's rooted?

Sorry to hear about "her" power tool incident.

Short of a prosthetic or transplant, adaptation is the only alternative and all the former have their limits.
There's this on the Note's... it's in the firmware, not an app. whatever...

Yes which is why I specifically asked if it can be done on a Pixel phone that is rooted.
