Hi all,
Need some good advice/help.
Not sure when my camera seems to be blur & really blur. Thus the picture taken are blur too. I tried to adjust the setting, but all is fixed at 5.
I found the problem when i am using ROM 2.2, even i had upgrade to the 3.3 (version 13) i still have the problem.
Is this a hardware or software problem? Thanks!
Don't know if this helps but the lens has a macro facility if its turned to the flower all photos will be blurred unless the subject is really close. Try turning the lens to the dot and it should be ok.
Hope this helps

People, i seem to have a problem, up until a few hours ago picture thumbnails in the album app looked fine... now for some reason they look horrible and discoloured and not in focus but when i tap the thumbnail the picture is fine.. what the hell has happened here? This is just with pictures taken with the inbuilt camera btw, all the other picture thumbnails are fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

We used to get that up until the camera fix from HTC came out, once installed, everything was fine and dandy.
I have installed the camera fix and i still get it?

Any photos you have taken prior to installing the fix will still look crappy all the ones after look ok.
I have this too and it effects photos taken AFTER the htofix was installed!
Here I have a cropped picture, which is a screencapture from my HD of a normal (not grainy) picture. Now, how do I fix this? I know there are sometimes issues with different ROMs with wallpapers which are fixed by installing the latest driverpack. Tried this here but didn't help. My current ROM is Laurentius26 v4. Thanks in advance.
Wow, can't believe noone knows of any solution...
Never mind. The trouble was related to the application (Resco Photo Manager) I was using to view my images. The native HTC application displays my picture with no distortions.
I am having a gallery issue where I select a picture and and different picture loads. Sometimes from the same album or different album. Shutting down sometimes resolves the issue or a soft reset and sometimes it does not. Sometimes I have to go into USB mode and add or delete a picture for ot to work properly again. One time the images in my download album al appeared blurry. I downloaded a picture from my email and then they all appeared normal again. Anyone else have this gallery bug?

Another one of those mind boggling simple bugs in Gingerbread/Nexus S.
Yes, I've seen similar, in that if I take a picture, it often won't show in the gallery unless I open it via a file explorer app from the sdcard.
I haven't tried forcing a media scan manually (there are apps for that), to see if that addresses it.
The Nexus S feels much more like a BETA product (software wise) than I recall the Nexus 1 feeling.

I had this exact same problem. You have to delete all of the thumbnails for your photos so that they reload. The only thing is, the thumbnails are no longer stored in the DCIM folder like they were pre-Gingerbread. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly where they're stored - I used root explorer to find them and delete them.
/Android/data/
You will see a folder called 'com.cooliris.media' delete it. The gallery app will regenerate your album thumbs.

This problem has been reported to Google. Please visit the link and star the report to bring more attention to it!
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13419 Thanks.
I mean wth do we have to go through all that to see our pics... they took forever to fix the text issue they said they have a fix for which we haven't received. The fix for blurry mms is fixed thank god. Now this? Yeah the N1 did feel like a better product but the updates helped that one too. These are stupid things that shouldn't be an issue though.

This issue happens on and off; it's quite absurd. My pictures are once again not opening to the correct photos. As I've said before, it's stuff like this (among a slew of other issues and glitches) which make Gingerbread, and to some degree Android, feel like a second rate experience.
Has anyone also experienced that sometimes pictures aren't clear in the gallery? Often, the picture will come up unclear, but after a second, will be clear as it's meant to be. But sometimes the clarity doesn't happen.
Does it have anything to do with the internal memory or something again (similar to the random ringtone change issue)?
Is this yet another glitch of Android?
Edit: I should mention this is not the MMS issue which is often mentioned. I'm talking about regular photos that are taken with the Camera. Those sometimes don't clear up either.
Yeah, I get this too.
I wait until all the pics are done downloading from the SD card... then I pick the picture.

It happens to me randomly even long after the SD card has loaded.
Why is the gallery reader like this anyway, where it is blurry at first, then clear?
Promise you its not androids fault. You will never EVER have a phone with HTC SENSE do that.

My gallery just freezes when trying to load. Sometimes the newest downloaded or pictures just taken won't show up, its random.

The low res fade into higher res gallery quirk is more of a feature and is how the gallery always has shown photos even back on the nexus one. It allows quick flipping enough photos without having to insanely cache everything in full from the start. It only should take a second to flick over though.
I'm loving the nexus s gallery performance. I'm sorry to hear some aren't as thrilled.
One if the posters spoke about this stuff not happening in htc - that's rubbish, the 3d gallery acts the same there too, only worse, because oh the lack of hyper fast inand. And the htc gallery is rubbish, it struggles to even show thumbnails if you have too many pics. I speak from experience owning the desire hd, which is the most powerful htc phone to date.
The wrong photo issue is completely fixed by clearing the photo cache and then restarting the device. It didn't clear up until the restart, for some reason.
I have some issues with the gallery as well. But I must say that it performs 10X better then it did on my N1, it was sooo slow and laggy on that thing!!!
Get JustPictures! from the market, way better that Gallery3d imo, plus you can access your picasa, flickr, facebook, smugmug, etc pics from there as well.
Android Gallery sucks ... It just sucks. It does not display in high quality, 16 bits instead of 24 bits. You will see terrible color banding on gradient colors.
Google just lied when they told us everything is 32 bits on Android 2.3.
Nah, that's not true.
I hate that because HTC Sense gallery is much better.
Skip that 3D animation transition, it is an image gallery. Without high quality output, that's no good.
JustPictures is the same, it still display terrible color banding.

I'm very happy with the Gallery performance, and as has been said the low res image fading to high res is a feature of the Android gallery, it's always done that on every handset I've owned.
The gallery has it's share of quirks/bug in the NS version of it, but agreed with others, the fading is a design feature, not a bug.
Has anyone encountered the situation wherein even the application images are in your gallery?
Hi. I've had this issue for quite a while and it's finally bothering me though to try to find out what it is. Please see attached photos.
What's happening is that in the same sequence of photos from the same moment I am getting weird blue tinted/ color distorted pictures. Same
lighting, camera wasn't moved. Has anyone seen this? How do I fix it?
I also posted this over on the OP forums.

Did you try wiping data and cache of camera app? It seems to me that somehow one of the filters is stuck and bugged.
o6 filter makes the cam blue.

I did try that after someone suggested that on the OP forums. I swear I did that before though, and the pictures are one after another, and they come out both normal and with that blue tint. It's very frustrating.
