[Q] Broken refreshing big pictures in gallery - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Hi,
onthe firs step I'm sory for my english.
Last time I change my android 2.3 to ICS alpha but it don't work. When I go back to before configuration (android 2.3 with flashtool), and when I go to galery to see my pictcures everythings was fine, but when i tap and chose photo ( i take the photo before with this phone) it was refresh (but only once) and focus. But when I zoom it was blurred and never refresh. On my zte blade when i change size photo and enlrage, photo refreh again and it is clear. What can i do without instaling diferent photo manager from google play.

Go the settings>apps and select clear data for the gallery app. Hope this works.

I do this, but the problem is still stay

unmount your memory card, remove it from phone, shutdown your phone, turn it on, put card back in, wait a minute or two, now check gallery.

it still not clear when size up

Hm, I just read your post once again, and go to my phone and check.
I opened my gallery, click on image, first image is blurry then it gets clear, after i pinch to zoom it gets a bit blurry but it doesn't get any clear.
So as far as I see, that's normal.
I also find it strange, but that was across all ROM's that I tried, so I think it's normal

Ah yes, I see what you mean now. Stock gallery will never show high res photos in full resolution even if you zoom in (except for camera pics) . For instance, if i have a long rage comic (10 panel+) i have never been able to read the text, even after zooming in 100%. It's a bug or on purpose built in thing. Quickpic is better anyway

In my post I was referring to camera pictures.
So in your case when you zoom camera pictures, the get blurry while zooming, but then gets clearer?

These are 2 pictures zoomed 100% in the stock gallery. 1 taken by the camera at 6MP 16:9, the other is just 1,4Mp. For the photo, I can zoom in to 100%, but for other pictures, I can't.

[Q] How to change photo size?

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.

ROM?
Kernel?
Stock?
I am on MeanROM 3.4 and my preview works but the photo comes out upside down. You can just rotate it.
Can somebody with Stock ROM/KERNEL chime in?

Me too with the anthrax kernel.
im getting word from a friend with stock from facebook in a minute...
and yes the preview looks fine but not only if the image rotated (not big deal) but the image is lowered considerably. if you see in my screen shot my face should be centered but is Lowered (or raised) and i cant recenter it
My pal with stock said that the problem is on his too... Hope this helps
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
I have the same exact issue. I have to hold the preview image before I take the pic well above center in order to correct this. It also comes out upside down every time.

[APP] Professional camera app

I found this professional camera app, which has so much options. You can manually set the exposure time, up to 60 seconds! Also ISO is adjustable.
Downside is that it doesn't support our physical camera key. I tested this app on ICS.

i used to use this app, can not change ISO -,-
It'll be great if we can change ISO on Neo/V. I believe high ISO setting is one downside of this camera.
the stock camera is the best camera, do you think so ?
Can you post some pictures taken by this camera with the vatious settings so we can see the quality and versatility of the camera?
Thanks

I wasn't able to spot any differences myself, only that when I changed the ISO settings and shutter time this app could picture shapes in a dark room, where the stock app just makes an all black picture. But if you want to try it yourself, you know how it works on Android...

OMG i started to think i am just plain stupid but now I see you can't change iso too, then this app sucks, nothing much without iso.
Neo V also, other then that its great app...

If you turn flash on in the stock app you can get a near perfect pic in the dark on the stock app. The flash on the Neo is seriously powerful.
really good app...thnx

Default xperia gallery zoom blur

Hello there,
My XMP is in stock 4.0.4 ics rooted and unlocked bootloader with some other apps and mods.
I just discovered that the mobile bravia engine works only in sony's default Xperia™ gallery. BE doesn't even works in sony's another gallery (the additional gallery from stock ics). I have tested and take screenshots sample pictures of all my gallery app to test BE and BE is really working only for the default Xperia™ gallery.
Well i have decided to use that gallery as my default gallery. however, i have noticed that when zooming my pictures in default Xperia™ gallery, it shows a really blurred image compared to other gallery like quickpic. And i can\t zoom fully unlike other. Any idea what is wrong.
Does anyone experience the same thing .
Thanks in advance.

From what i understand from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1723889&highlight=bravia+engine you wont notice differences from screenshots, you need to actually take a picture with BE on and then another with BE off (not a screenie an actual picture) and you will only notice them side by side otherwise its difficult to tell. This may also shed some light on your xperia gallery problem. Unfortunately I never noticed a blur bug in the gallery while i was on stock but then again i wasnt looking for it. Even tho your on stock there are some bugs sony missed, its not 100% perfect. Some things can be fixed here, others need to be fixed by sony.
I can see clearly the differences via screenshot with BE on and off.

Just until you find a fix, i cant help ive never experienced that problem, i would keep both galleries. Quickpic is very small so it wont take up much space. Then you can view with BE on xperia and zoom on quickpic.
Sorry i couldnt help more,

Photo of the stars at night

Hi!
These days I tried to take a photo of the stars with different apps and only the original app of camera is giving me the best results.
When I take the photo using the HDR+, and then go fast to the gallery, before the process is completed, I can see a photo full of stars. if I take a screenshot, the stars disappear. Maybe, next time I'll try to take a photo of the screen with other camera.
When the HDR+ process is completed I can't see any stars.
Anybody knows how to stop this process and get the photo with stars or maybe change the HDR+ processing to remove the noise but not the stars?
I know, It's strange, but I can give proofs if no one experimented the same. Perhaps, all the white points are noise but seems like stars...
Thanks in advance.
PD: I thought that in the screenshots there would be stars, but I didn't checked them until I started to write this post. Maybe at night I could repeat the process and take photos of the screen.

Could be the camera app, I'd recommend using camera nx. It is definitely the best camera/camera mod out.

I downloaded yesterday the NX mod, used to take the photos and I got the same result. (Auto or HDR+)
Try a different camera app then? Maybe Footej or open camera.

I also tried FV-5 camera but with same result. So, I wonder if someone could take a photo of the stars (with any kind of quality)
I'm going to take a photo of the screen as I said before, then you can know better what I mean.
Wasn't there an option to disable HDR ?

Yes! Of course, but then I can't get that preview image in which I can see the stars
Use Manual Camera and shoot RAW. Anything else probably treats the stars as noise and eliminates them.

Ok guys, thanks for your help, but.. case closed.
It's just noise, here are the photos of the sky. One is the preview (HDR+ processing) with white dots and the second one is only black, because there weren't any stars at that time in the sky.

And if a take photos of a dark room I get the same result, so... it's just noise I think.
Thanks again
PD: Sorry for the quality of the photos.
