Gallery Display - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Has anyone noticed that sometimes when viewing a photo in the gallery it will appear grainy and then other times not. It seems after running multiple apps and then looking at pics in the gallery they are no where near as clear.

3D Gallery compresses?

I'm on cm7 using the 3D gallery and whenever I set a wallpaper it seems to "compress" it (I don't know the exact term). Even 2560x1600 pictures look blurry and I can still see the individual pixels. Are there any good gallery alternates?

[Q] Instagram

Anyone knows of an app like instagram for android? They have instagram in the market which is acutally named instadroid but won't let me upload photos.
They don't have anything exactly like instagram, though I've heard they are making it.
They closest I've found is Picplz
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.picplz.rangefinder&feature=search_result
instagram now available on play store
anyone knows where does it store the processed images, im trying to find one to be able to uploadit (without using instagram itself to share)
and cant find the image
Running Creamed Glacier with the camera Fix and using Pudding Camera app inside of Instagram.
I'm able to take a picture and crop, but the filter selection mode crashes and won't let me upload any picture, from the camera or from sdcard.
Advanced camera is set to off, before I was getting a blank screen.
Anyone gotten a picture uploaded successfully? I may just reboot my phone to see if that solves the issue
Are you having any problems with it? I have it downloaded but it glitches when taking a picture and FC I'm using the hybrid rom of zip and blackwing

Yeah, glitchy for me, I'm impressed with the compatibility for different cameras and galleries, but It FCs whenever I upload any photo. (The crop step is also very annoying If I don't want to crop anything) Immediately following that it bounces back to the home menu with no uploaded photo
if any of you dont like or are having problems with instagram, i can recommend PICSART , in the edition and filter section it is very complete, it lacks a little bit in the social networking, but its getting better, you can do amazing stuff with your pics (no cropping required)

its gotten to the point were i uninstalled, for first release it was quite an achievement i personally blame the rom (no offense to devs, but its true we're still working on the bugs [ this rom is stable yet and won't be until further notice. But if i was on stock rom it would be an amazing app.
I'm using the instagram camera & when I switch the FFC its like all sideways O__o

No problems on my side runs perfect if you go to your page and go to settings u can disable the instagram camera and use the regular camera it might help

You can change the camera settings in whatever camera app you are using, Instagram only accepts larger pictures. I'm not sure of the minimum size though.
I'm still getting FC when I upload, There was an update for the app today and I thought it would fix ie. But nah. Longshot for that one. I'll check out Picstart in the meanwhile
Instagram
Using Instagram on Creamed Glacier and it's working pretty well and smoothly. All effects work and such.
Another update came out today, Fixed all the "Photo To Small" Problems

Hahah, I dont know but yeah instagram may be a bit buggy, but it's getting there with their updates, especially with the "photo too small" problem they used to have.
Instagram is really good. The only thing annoying me about it right now is the cropping function. It doesn't let you add full pictures and you can only crop in a small part of the picture. And that it doesn't have landscape mode.
I never saw the appeal of instagram. Can someone explain to me why, everybody swears by it. To me it's just another camera/photo-editing app.

Gallery Lag.

Does anyone else find that their stock photo gallery sometimes hangs? Sometimes it takes about 5 seconds to open, and other times it just hangs at the "loading" screen.
ps. I've only got about 50 photos in there.

Yes. Mine has delay and lag too. Just bought it yesterday.

I've noticed this problem a few times here and there. I just kill the process using advanced task killer and then its near instant again. I think the gallery just gets stuck at times. You may see it running in the built in task manager then close it and try again. Usually works after the task is killed for me anyway

I get some hangs in the Gallery app too, but not as long as 5 seconds.
What bothers me the most is that after uploading an image through Kies Air, I need to quit the Gallery app completely and reopen it for the new image to show up.
I've also had this problem intermittently. Twice I waited more than a minute and ended up rebooting to get the gallery loading again otherwise it just hangs.

I think you just need to force a manual "media scan" to get image changes to be picked up. The app ScanMedia is great for that purpose
The Gallery pauses are probably due to a background media scan running to pick up image changes on the "sdcard" partition. Google should fix this... esp since HTC Gallery can do the scan without pausing.
yeh I get it to, little annoying but doesn't bother me to much atm
The problem does seem to be intermittent, but it does get annoying when I have to reboot the device to get it to open back up again. Hopefully there will be a patch in an upcoming update.
I have noticed that if I save picture from some wallpaper app or from internet browser, the picture doesn't show up in the gallery. I am not actually quite sure what to do to make it show up. My only solution has been restart or then using some other gallery, like just pictures. Also there I have to press refresh gallery to get the new pics showing. This is annoying as hell.
I have over 200 photos in my gallery also have 10 videos...doest lag or hang for me...

The problem is the Data Network Mode. Deactivate it and you will notice a big improvement!
Yep its awful, I use quickpic now its tons better

yes QP is great even on the lower spec phones, like my SF, but on the SGS2 doesn't QP break the ability that allows you to set a different wallpaper on the lockscreen ? or are you just running both side by side ?
sometimes gallery doesn't launch the pics at all so have to exit it and re open! only occasionally tho.
Just open quick pic and then long press the picture and select set as, then lockscreen and then poof, it is set
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Agreed, quickpic is awesome.
The gallery app is laggy to open, and then far too fast once it's open, it's like the phone is too fast for it.
Installed quickpic and never looked back.
no, that doesn't work for me..

If I do what you state above all works up to 'set as', the only options i get under 'set as' in QP are to set as QP Wallpaper or contact icon...
Mine lags as well. But not all the time though.

Pictures shared in landscape by default

Every time I share a picture via twitter, g+, Facebook, or mms, or even upload it to a message board, the orientation defaults to landscape regardless if its taken in portrait mode. This is pretty annoying. It also happens when I try to edit my avatar using the xda app.
How can I fix this so that a picture is uploaded in the orientation that the picture is taken in?

I've noticed this too (at&t Samsung Note i717). My workaround is to crop it to just about full size. Its a pain in the neck though.

Wallpaper without cropping

Is the any ways to set the lock screen wallpaper without cropping?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
If you go into the gallery and hit set as and set as lock screen it'll usually crop off very little depending on the size.

What you really need is
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImx3cC5zdXBlcmx1bWluYXIuc3dhbGxwYXBlciJd
Landscape Wallpaper (free)
I tried many of other apps before, didnt like them at all. This one is way too simple too use and actually works great.
You can customize it too and the best part is... its too easy!
Strange...works for me. In Picture settings you can choose 4 options, including fit to screen which should eliminate any crop.
