According to Instagram's help file, it says that pictures taken with the app is saved at 2048x2048. However, but what about uploads from the phone itself for photos already taken? What resolution will that be in? What's the optimum resolution for uploading pictures to Instagram?

I currently have an iPhone 4 at the moment. I'm thinking of picking up a SGS 2. The latest iOS 5 beta have a map feature which shows where all of the geotagged photos are taken. Does the SGS 2 have something like that? If not, how does one view or enjoy geotagged photos on the SGS 2?
The only way I know is to first view the photo and then select the "Show on map" option.

If you do that, will it show multiple geotagged photos on the map? Or it'll only show 1 photo at a time?
Can you also make a screenshot for me?
Can someone answer my questions above?

As with all other Android phones, the 'Show on Map' feature will show only 1 photo at a time on Maps.

Thanks for the information! Is it possible that you can take a screenshot to show me how it looks like? I have no way of testing this myself because I don't have an Android device nor have I ever used one before.
Here is the image you wanted. What you need to do is view your picture within the photo album on your Android phone, press menu, then "show on map". You will be taken to the google maps app with a dot where the photo was taken.
A much better way though is to use the picasa web application (Google own that too!) All the photos that you have uploaded (you can set your phone to auto upload your pictures to picasa) can be shown as photo-icons on the map. Any number of such photos can be shown simultaneously.

So I'll have to download Picasa Web Application when I get the phone then? Can you do me another favour and take a screenshot of the Picasa Web Application with the photo-icons on the map?
OK here you go. One picture shows just the locations of the photos and the other shows the view where the photos are shown as icons in the exact place in the world. You can zoom right in or out to see more or less icons.
You don't need to D/L picasa - these screenshots were taken from the web application.
You could easily create a picasa account yourself and upload a few of your own pictures to see how it works.

Thanks for the information. When you say it's an web app, you mean the mobile version of Picasa Web's website? This means that I can get that same feature if I were to load up the mobile version of Picasa Web on my iPhone 4 as well right?
I meant the desktop version at picasaweb.google.com
I don't know whether there is an iphone picasa app or what it offers but there does not appear to be an official android app and the 3rd party ones do not appear to support geo-location. The mobile version of picasa does not appear to offer the geo-location facilities either.
Dear Android developers,
Most of you should be aware of this on going issue with Android:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=49e2b1adea1aa11c&hl=en
Basically, when you synced with GMail Contacts, the contact photos will be replaced with the low resolution 96x96 pixel resolutions that are stored in the GMail Contacts.
So, is anyone up to an application to workaround this?
I have a very good idea, an application that does this:
- Start the application
- Click the "Replace" button
- Then the application will search all image files in folder /sdcard/ContactPhotos
- For each matching image file name with "<lastname>,<firstname>.png", the application will replace the contact photo with that image file
- Process until finished with all stored image files
- Done
The idea of this application, user could easily replace all contact photos using locally stored high resolution image files, in one go.
Whenever, our contact photos are replaced with low resolution from GMail Contacts or after flashing a new ROM, or other means, we can easily restore them back with high resolution easily!
So, please, if you are capable of making this kind of app, you could be the one who solve this years of Android problem.
Thanks.
just sign in to FriendsStream widget with facebook or twitter, and sync with all contacts!
this will fix this issue and images will be clear and hq
Very nice
Should be said that it's a ICS speficic problem
This is not about Facebook/Twitter contact sync.
This is about GMail Contacts sync.
Those two are different, if you dont know.
And not all people (contacts) are on Facebook/Twitter!
I also heard that even with FriendsStream/SyncMyPix, to sync with Facebook, you will not get high resolution image.

No, this is not ICS specific problem.
This problem is known issue since as long as 2008:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1265
Wonder why we don't have workaround like this suggested app ...

Well would say it is The actual size when people call is decided in the phone and people app. Android other than ICS will still be limited to the small sizes. Only ICS supports 256x256 pictures and will therefore only benifit for a server upgrade / this app

Moving to Q&A
In GB, I can replace contact photo with high resolution, no problem with that.
But once you sync with GMAIL Contacts, it will be replaced with low resolution.
Have you read the original Google bug tracking started on 2008?
You should, then you would understand.

If you read carefully, I was not asking to solve a problem as by tweaking or changing configuration.
I was asking someone who could write an application that does specific task, replacing contact photos using high resolution images stored locally.
Got that?

Did anyone actually do something like this? Or found an existing app that does something like it?
The closest thing I have found is this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eclipson.ContactPhotoFinder
But while it is possible to search your local storage, it doesn't perform a search & match for "Contact Name" and "Contact Name.jpg"...

This seems to fit the requirements:

They are blurry no matter what resolution pic I use.

Yes, but you aren't going to like the answer... The problem is that google takes your contact pictures and downsamples them for online storage. Then when your phone syncs back, it overwrites your original high resolution picture, with their low resolution version (I think it's only 96x96). So there are 3 work-arounds...
--Don't sync your contacts with your google account. I find this not practical, especially since it's a big part of the functionality of the phone
--Use either Google+ or Facebook to populate the pictures for you by linking the contacts. The downside is that you are limited to just users of those services...
--Manually Create a contact for each person ON THE PHONE (not a google contact). Add the high resolution photo there, and then link that one to your google contact. This is what i use for my most frequently called people, but even that's not practical for the entire address book. Also, ICS uses 256x256 resolution, which still doesn't come out 'crisp' on a phone of this resolution.
This is really a black mark for android. There has actually been an open ticket on this since 2009, with over a thousand people adding to it. It's also recently been a thread on Google + where a lead engineer said they were going to work on it, but even that fizzled out.
Haxsync will download high Res photos from Facebook. Just make sure the contact has that image selected and not the Google one.

Those are blurry as well. Then you are also missing pictures for Go SMS Pro and other 3rd party messaging apps.
Never used to be this issue for the OG Evo (running ICS).
I was curious if anyone knows of a way to make the One create a event highlight of photos not taken with the One? I'm curious as I would like it to create One of photos that i had sent to me and from facebook. My friend just had a baby and wanted me to have it create one for them.
I have the photos stored locally on the phone and even stored them in the folder with the photos that are taken by the One. I tried renaming them so they are in direct order after the last picture I took but have had no luck. All of the pictures have a date taken property filled in as well but that didn't make any difference.
Thank you
Whenever I do an image search in Google Now the thumbnails load but when I tap an image it won't load the higher res version. Anyone else have this issue and know a fix?

image issue
DID you saved your images properly,these issue often comes when images are not saved properly, I will suggest you should use Picassa for Pictures,
Google+ can be set to upload the images automatically. I don't think Picassa supports that. However Google owns Picassa so maybe the pictures Google Plus uploads go to Picassa . Since Picassa is also the same thing as Google+ he would be better off using the Google+. Picassa uploads directly to Google+ so no use in having 2 doing the same thing. You get 15GB storage with Google+ BTW with the new upgrades they did. I was legacy and bought 25GB for $2.49 a month and now they gave me a free 25GB so I now have 50GB total for pictures in HiRes.
I'm talking about when I do a Web search for images. When I tap a pic to view it enlarges the thumbnail but won't load the higher res version. Seems to be a Google search/now issue because if I try this in Dolphin browser it's fine.
