I think you need to give us a bit more information here. If you take a photo in high res, then send it to facebook from your gallery how does that look on facebook, I assume you mean its blurry on facebook?

if the image is quite small then it may look ok on your phone and blurry on FB as it is being upscaled, are you sure that these images are not just of a small resolution?. As as test take a photo in max resolution and send it to FB.

either Facebook is compressing them, or your resolution is low in the camera app, which is why they look ok on your small phone screen.

Yes this also happening with viber it is not the phone but it's the application converting image and decreasing size which lowers the quality unfortunately.

you still haven't answered the main questions, is the image you are starting with small?, if so its not a compression issue, take a picture in high res and send it to facebook, if its clear then the other images are just small. There is no auto compression when sending images to facebook I am aware of and therefore nothing to fix.

The image is not small, but this happens with all the images even Screen shots. The problem is not with facebook because on other messengers like what's app or Kik same thing happens

how are you talking a screen shot exactly? I just took one using POWER+HOME which pushed it into my gallery, from there i sent it straight to facebook. Its not pin sharp but its perfectly viewable. Can you paste a pic of what yours looks like on here?

Screen shot taken with power and home and is blurry
Sending on Facebook messenger or hangouts.

Screenshot is taken at HD resolution, so there is no chance to be blurry. Responsable with picture resize is gallery. Delete gallery data and cache and try afterwards. I use all types of social apps and apart of instagram, no one is resising pictures by itself without notice.

Official Camera Settings Thread

Ok guys we've all read the reviews hyping the camera as one of the best on a phone available right now. There are a plethora of settings within the camera app, whether its exposure value, ISO, effects, etc.
Lets start with some of the settings you guys are using to provide the best quality pics
BTW, I'm no photographer, by any means, just trying to get the most out of this camera. Have at it.....
Anti shake and blink detection really improved my photos
grr.. just waiting for instagram to build a freaking app for the android.
i always leave iso at 100 though. auto iso is bleh.

Yeah Iso 100 looks a lot better
Eliminate delay
My camera has about a .5 second delay between focusing and taking the picture. Can that be eliminated?
shortcuts.. but I don't know why it deletes the shortcuts when I exit the camera app.
Second that .5 delay question, damn near impossible to get action shots.
Vignette seams to work without a delay.
Anyone know how to save your new edited shortcuts? Exiting the Camera app on task manager results in shortcuts being removed/deleted and have to put it on the screen again and again.
It automatically saves for me

I pretty much use all auto, no flash unless i HAVE to, and keep photo rez at the 2.4 wide. So far, so very very good.
ISO at 100. No auto anything except occasional auto focus. I've found the flash on this is far better than my point and shoot. It's a more natural white, and much brighter. Barely touches battery, too.
In fact, try turning on a flashlight app. I can go 3 minutes or more on 1% of my battery. 10% for half an hour isn't bad.
Can you guys aware me on these picture resolutions?
It seems like the 2.4M takes just as good pictures as the 8M does?

If you use GTG's NoNamed rom it will auto-save the camera shortcuts all the time.
(even if you force close the camera app using taskmanager).
If you want everything to work properly, why settle for anything less than the NoNamed rom......

Not going to lie, going from the Galaxy S (Captivate) to this phone, they removed the "Add Me" feature which was pretty epic, but I guess the rest of the settings make up for it. Fyi, Add Me allowed for people to be duplicated among a picture extremely easily, but yeah, that's gone now...

Even lesser will produce as good pictures as the max one. Until you print them out/enlarge them.
Quality-wise, its all about the lenses and the sensor, not max megapixage a camera has, hence why most cells will never compare to POS or better cameras.
So, if you plan on viewing/printing pics on large mediums/high quality/large screen rez, you don't really need a large base image rez.
I like to use spot meter and the exposure compensation....
I usually ttake photos of items up close....

[Q] MIUI Contact picture fullscreen

Hi!
I know that MIUI uses a separate contact picture as a small icon (automatically downloaded), and a caller picture as a fullscreen picture when you get a call (manually set from gallery), as stated here. For me app Friendcaster automatically downloads my friends' facebook profile pictures in full size, and sets them as contact pictures. Can I use these automatically downloaded pictures as fullscreen caller pictures?
From what I understand with MIUI, you have to select the contact pictures manually in order to get a full screen image. Otherwise, all you get is the small image that you have in the contacts list.

No, I didn't. I'm not using MIUI anymore, and that fixes many things though.

I'm having the same issue.
It's a pretty basic scenario: You sync your Facebook contacts with any of the so-many-available apps (that also allows to save very high-resolution photos), and now you want the photos to display fullscreen when the contact calls you... but, you can't. It will only display "caller" photos that are manually chosen from the local gallery. Why? because... just like that.
Anyone found a solution?
Thanks

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10 camera field of view

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
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
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.

Camera to Gallery Link?

In the Camera app, if you click on the tiny thumbnail of the last photo you took, is something suppose to happen? On most apps, this opens up the photo in a gallery app. When I click it, nothing happens.

Yes, it should open sonys photo album. Not sure if even possible, but have you disabled it?
He probably disabled it (I did that too).
It would be nice to be able to jump to "Photos" or any other gallery from the Sony camera.

Yep that was it. I was expecting it to popup asking me which gallery I wanted to use but I guess they hard coded it to theirs.

[APP] GCam Tool - stops front camera mirroring, moves portrait photos automatically

GCam Tool's primary purpose was to move portrait mode burst photos from their own sub-folders to the main gallery, keeping whichever photos the user wants (background blurred or non-blurred) while discarding the rest. Since then, I have been getting mails from users who wanted the app to move not just portrait mode but even normal photos.
With GCam Tool 2.0, all photos (even panorama and photosphere) are moved automatically in the background. If you want to save portrait mode photos into a different folder, this must be the easiest way.
Another request I got was regarding the way Google Camera took selfies. Most OEM camera apps give you the option to save the front camera image just like you see in camera preview. Strangely Google Camera doesn't allow this and always saves the image flipped. With v2.0, GCam Tool can now detect front camera photos and prevent it from being flipped.
I must give the disclaimer that this is an experimental feature. Google doesn't provide any sort of API for developers to detect whether a photo was taken with front or back camera. I had to come up with my own method of detecting that. I tested on S8+, OnePlus 3 and Redmi Note 4 and it worked fine. If this feature fails on your phone, please let me know the device model as well as the Android version.
Please try the app and let me know your feedback. If you like it, please take a moment to rate and review on Play Store.

Selfie picture is flipped to get right perspective, even xperia devices do this.The problem is that you shot something different from what you see in the display preview.You can easily adjust the picture with apps like snapseed or others.
had a tasker profile for that but tried your app. like it and upgraded to pro?
Very good app.. Upgraded to Pro but the app is crashing when i try to do batch move
Another Pixel 2 XL owner reported the same issue. I can't reproduce it on my S8+. Could you please write to [email protected]? I would like to figure out what's happening and fix it.

Unfortunately I couldn't figure it out yet. After moving photos, the app calls Mediascan service which should inform the OS about new images and as such it must appear in the camera slide to photo gallery. But somehow that is not working.
Working great thanks ?

Hey! I saw the flip prevention feature and bought pro immediately to try it out, sadly it didn't work and after I restarted my device the checkbox disappeared from the settings page. I'm using a Pixel 2 XL on 8.1 April update.
EDIT: There's no disappearing checkbox bug, that was just me.

I am assuming you are talking about gallery that you see when you slide to right inside Google Camera. Even though all files are moved correctly in the background, that gallery has some issue with refreshing thumbnails. The app even calls mediascan after moving files, which should have fixed the issue. But that gallery app still won't refresh.
Third party gallery apps do not seem to have this issue.

thank you @Apptuners, this is exactly what I've wanted with this phone since the day I got it. God I hate those sub folders when taking portrait pics.
Someone can confirm no flip mod works in pixel 2 xl?
