I've noticed that some screenshots posted in the lock and home screen threads seem to be in the higher resolution than what I get when using the built in screenshots mechanisms. I this a setting or are you guys using a third party application?
Nevermind - it's Photobucket that's downsizing my photos.
have you tried dropbox?
I like it because I can auto upload at full resolution

This always happens unless the image was taken by NASA or something, the image is ample size and very good quality, yet when I set it it becomes very blurry, lock or home screen.
Its very crispy when I pinch to zoom as well, whats going on here? How do I fix it?
Download QuickPic from the market and ignore or freeze the stock Gallery app. It downsizes the resolution of wallpapers. QuickPic is fast, cleaner, and doesn't cut corners. It's also free.

Ive had quickpic for a while now, and Its giving me the same exact problem.
I use Wallbase as a wallpaper app, and when I set the wallpaper from inside Wallbase, its crispy and perfect. Its only when I set the wallpaper via Gallery or any other image viewer that it becomes blurry.
I'm pretty sure it's zooming in on the picture which in turn makes it blurry, right? As to a fix, not sure myself.

I assume that what's happening. It happens with literally every single picture though
If you are downloading from wallbase on your phone, make sure you tap the image until it shows the tooltip for 100% before you long press to save it. I've run into the same thing. Also, make sure the image you are downloading is at at least 960x800 for full resolution as wallpaper.
I might be confusing you guys.
When I set the wallpaper via Wallbase, its fine.
When I save the wallpaper from wallbase (or anywhere for that matter), and set it as my wallpaper via Gallery or QuikPic, then it becomes blurry. Wallbase isnt the problem.
Thanks
If you have the "scrolling" background image enabled, make a new document in photoshop, or your image editor of choice, and make it 960x800 pixels, then resize your image to that and save as png then move to phone. Somehow the default resize for these phones makes it blurry... but setting it to the correct resolution fixes it.
^^ setting the image resolution to 960 x 800 solves the blurry wallpaper problem.

I'm trying to avoid having the Facebook app installed, since I felt it was silly to only have it installed for the sake of uploading pictures, so I set up Blur with my Facebook account and, just today, uploaded a picture using it instead of the official Facebook app. To my surprise, it uploaded a much lower quality image than the original.
Why is the Blur app downsampling uploads? Is there a way to change this behavior?
Thanks in advance.
anyone have any insight?
Hi. I'm using cyanogenmod 10 for almost 3 weeks . The camera which came with cm10 is showing less field what actually is.
Are the photos it saves a normal field of view? In other words is the problem only with the view in the camera app or is it with the saved photos too

This picture is shown in the gallery. You can see my printer is in view. (left side)
Also you can see the light switch(left side) is in the view
For second picture,
But in this picture you can't see my printer and my light switch.
I didn't move the camera btw just took a screenshot then pressed the capture
Any ideas?
You can't bump a thread more than once every 24 hours
I believe this is done because of the aspect ratio of your screen and the photos your camera takes. If the photo fov were to be used in the camera, there would be black bars in the camera app. You can try using another camera app from the play store to fix this.

If you don't have anything to add to the conversation, please don't post. If you have a problem with another persons post, use the report button rather than being pathetic by trying to suck up to moderators and increase your post count.
I'm sorry. I didn't know that . Do I have to use 3rd party camera apps. Or can developers fix this problem in next updates. And can you advise me a good 3rd party app. Thanks for your help.
Do you have photo stabilization by any chance? That does reduce the fov.
No I don't have photo stabilization.
Try an app in the store called "lg camera" from memory that's the name. It has black bars which is what you want
NO no no this is not that I wanted. Actualy when I take photos with my friends they can't be seen before shooting.so sometimes they seen out of the fov but when I take photos they are in the fov. I don't want black bars or something. I mean I want to take a photo which looks exactly same in the preview.my post which has an attachment will show my problem.
Hey guys, I have made some high quality images of the resolution 1080x1920 for my SGS4. They look AWESOME in the normal gallery, but when I try to set it as a wallpaper, it somehow gets blurry, as if it's shrunk down/cropped.
Is the resolution for the actual homescreen really that resolution? Or is it being cropped down to a certain number? Is there some way I can set it without it being cropped/reduced in quality? :/

Try using the app quickpic. I use it instead of gallery and it works fine.

Tried,.. Still the same results sadly. It becomes blurrier when setting it as background. I even double checked the size of the image, and it's definitely the correct size. :/ Looks perfect when viewing it in the Gallery / QuickPic Preview, looks blurry when it's actually being set as Wallpaper.
It's not really blurry per se, but ummm less sharp and detailed, basically.
Could any Ultra Z user please post a few photos taken by the stock camera app and the best available 3rd party app? I want to see how big the improvement in image quality could be. Thanks.

Not the best test ever, just took 3 pics at work with A Better Camera, the stock 4.3 camera (at iso 50) and Pro Capture camera.
If you do a 100% the stock camera looks more detailed to me with less artifacts than the ProCapture and A Better Camera looks the worst.
Note that ProCapture and A Better Camera were done using their auto modes. All pics were taken with the phone on the stand to avoid any movement and all used touch focus (on the GE logo).

Couldnt find the thumbnail option in Imageshack since they keep changing things around!
