Hi
I dont know if this topic exists, because I don't get the search function of this app .. Today we compared the same picture on three devices .. A x10 2.1 rooted and dualtouch enabled .. X10 1.6 and samsung wave .. Wave had the best resolution .. But the 1.6 has also got a way better resolution than my 2.1 .. its a picture with handwriting and it really sucks on my x10 ... Pdf zoom in stays high res ... Any idea how to change or what is the problem?

Resolution of an image is the amount of pixels in the x and y axis.
It is unlikely that the 2.1 photos would be lower res than the 1.6 photos.
If you mean blurry then try turning off image stabilization. Also if you are zooming it will actually scale the image. There is never a point in zooming on a camera without a zoom lens. Just crop the final image. That is what it is doing anyway.
Thanks for your answer !!
But i dont talk about a picture from a phone camera .. its exactly the same picture from a high res canon cam .. and we sent that to the phones via bluetooth... i hope you understand now...
I figured out ..that with large image viewer from market i get a better result.. but only as good as mediascape 1.6 .. really weird
And i think the wave just has more colours and so its sharper???

try using the Android Gallery app on all the phones.. then you'll be comparing apples with apples... (or failing that, download the same photo viewer off the market to all 3 phones and try that... ).. also - make sure that all the phones have the brightness set to max for the test.. that will make a big difference (Rachel 2.1 vs 1.6 handles brightness settings differently)
Hey iceman .. thx for your answer ..
This would be a great idea.. but its just interesting that mediascape and the stock android gallery in my 2.1 can not scale it up to the same sharpness as 1.6 mediascape regardless of the brightness setting? ??!!
I have installed cm 2.2 now and its a bit better....

I stumbled upon this thread by accident. Recently I found a gallery software that's fast and able to zoom in at full jpeg resolution. It's name is QuickPic.Very nice. In my opinion, though simple, better than Mediascape or Android standard gallery.
Just wanted to share.

I'd be interested in the answer to your question, but if you want some good wallpaper while you are waiting, make sure you are searching for qHD wallpapers for other qHD phones, such as the Atrix.
Alternately, you can search for a specific size image with google image search online. Standard is twice the width, by the height of your screen.
qHD = 540x960
Wallpaper = 1080x960
Good luck making your own.
What I do is take an image that has a higher pixel size than what our screen has and crop it to 1080 x 960. The thing is, it doesn't get as sharp as I'd like. I feel like it should be super sharp. Icons are super sharp, why not the wallpaper, ya know. Does it have something to do with the screen itself?
Using the size parameters mentioned in the previous posts you can use photoshop or gimp (free!) and create your own custom wallpapers.

I noticed when viewing an image in the gallery and zooming it in to the size of the screen the picture is crystal clear, but when you set it as a wallpaper it gets a little pixelated so we know its not the hardware or picture itself. Could someone explain this, maybe the software could be tweaked? Try it out, the attached picture is a good example but it does it with all pictures.
Problem solved
What happens is that android compresses the pictures too much when setting them, causing distortion. Using an app called "Wallpaper Set And Save" sets the wallpaper and makes it crystal clear!
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.

Is it me or is the wallpapers that get assigned for backgrounds become bad quality. For example I have taken a picture with an SLR, sharp crisp image but when its assigned as a wallpaper the quality is lost! I love my sgs2 but i dont like the quality of wallpapers. Any tips?
Ive tried resizing but its not the same. Never had this problem with non android phones.
yes the pictures actually become low in quality when set as wallpaper on touchwiz ROMs, I was very pissed about it but found a solution.Resize the image to 960x800 and save it in .png format, it wont turn into crappy quality then or switch to ICS or AOSP ROMs.
Download wallpaper set and save from the market and use it to set your wallpaper. Quality will remain

Just got an Xperia S and noticed that when setting a wallpaper (using the Gallery app), it makes you crop it but when set the quality is nowhere near the quality of the original and the contrast is poor. Setting a different wallpaper for the lock screen seems fine.
I've tried using Wallpaper set and save but this is worse as it seems to be designed for lower res screens.
Any ideas how to set a wallpaper without losing quality? (using the stock launcher). Also is it possible to set one as protrait so it doesn't scroll between screens?
Came from an HTC Desire and never had this issue.
TIA
