When viewing contacts, is there a way to disable the zooming on pictures? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Couldn't find anything on this here and online so maybe I'm missing something, but whenever I view a contact, the picture is always zoomed in, cropping the image.
It's even worse when I click on "i" in favorites view. It wasn't like that in my previous Galaxy S3 and S before that. Any way to disable it? I want to view the entire picture without zooming in.
Thanks.

Album view

Anybody know of a way to setup the default album view to show the most recent pics up top first on 2.1? This is the one thing that irks me when trying to upload a pic.
It always shows the oldest pics up top and the newer ones WAY at the bottom. I have alot of pics so I'm constantly having to scroll and scroll to get the the most recent pic I took at the bottom in order to upload it somewhere or email it.

[Q] picture gallery

Is there a way to get all of the photos when viewing with the gallery to fill the screen without having to switch to landscape mode?
On my windows phone, using HTC's album viewer and scrolling thru the pics, they always were rotated the correct way as to fill the screen without having to rotate the phone, whether they were taken as portrait of landscape pictures.
This is a bit annoying.
Oh, and a second question, how about a way to make the gallery go into camera shots by default when I push the gallery shortcut.
Thanks all wise android gurus.

[Q] What's up with the pictures tile?

I've changed it about ten times but to me it always seems blurry. The stock photos looks pretty awful as well. Is that the way it's suppose to look?
Varies
It depends. It seems to have more to do with the image size than anything. I have both a Mac and a Windows box, and when I was trying syncing mine with the Mac for a while I checked the option to resize photos for the phone and all my hub tiles were really bad after that, when I sync from Windows and Zune with (presumably) larger pictures, I get the problem significantly less, though still the occasional pic it doesn't seem to like.
I'm talking about the main pictures double tile that you pin to the start screen. Not sure if your referring to the same thing.The individual pictures looks brilliant.
The panorama background in the picture hub looks awful as well but i don't really care too much about that one. My main issue is the picture tile on the start screen.
will wp7 ever be able to take screen shot
Have you tried choosing your own picture for the background?
In Pictures, touch and hold the panorama title. A menu should pop up allowing you to choose a new picture or have it choose one for you.
The panorama takes an image of at least 1426x800. Those seem to be the dimensions suggested to developers.

If you don't like the double size Picture Tile, you can make a picture a favorite and then create a shortcut to it. This will be a single tile, and it takes you to the pictures menu where you can still scroll through all your pictures. That's how I have mine set up.
Thanks for the suggestions Tempest790. I tried the pin to start favorite option but its still blurry. Its nothing like the Zune tile which is crystal clear and very sharp. I'm beginning to think that's the way its suppose to look. I think my only hope now is to find another owner of a wp7 phone and ask to look at their pictures tile which in itself will be a monumental task considering I live in New York and all I ever see here are iPhones and androids.

[HELP] Front camera photo weird text problem

I took some photos with the front camera using the front camera from SnapIt app in the stock vibe UI 3.0. While clicking the photo, there was some text in Chinese that appeared on the screen. I thought it was the name of some shooting mode sort of thing and that it'll not appear in the final photograph. To my dismay, though, after I had clicked the photographs, I saw that all of them have that weird text written over them. In a few photos that text is even covering up faces. I need to know if there is a way to remove this text from these photos and restore the faces. Using photo editors, I have only been able to get as far as cropping the text or if some of the photos. Nothing more. Please help me immediately.
Thanks.
Sharing a couple of sample photos would help identifying the exact problem.

Facebook app and photos

When I try to upload a picture on FB from my gallery and edit that picture (ie: crop, resize) the picture turns out different from what I intended. Sometimes its inverted. Sometimes the crop isn't what I cropped it to be. I don't understand why this is happening. Anyone having the same problem?
