Why is it some of my thumbnails look horrible like these and others are perfectly fine, and why can I only veiw 99 images in the Sense gallery view??
When I click to veiw full screen they display perfectly, just the thumbnails look horrible!
Cheers!
install the two hotfixes released by HTC. it will resolve the thumbnail issue and the storage issue.
What Hotfix's?
I've installed the Update for HTC HD2 – Digital Picture Enhancement to remove the pink, and I do not have a storage issue, the other Hotfix's are:
Update for HTC HD2 – SMS Function Update
Update for HTC HD2 SD Card Storage Capacity
ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2
Cheers!
The pics with horrible thumbnails are the ones taken pre-hotfix... if you look at them on a PC they dont look as good as they do on the HD2.
The storage hotfix updates the camera app to better compression and sorts a bug which lies about how many pics you have left to take. best to reboot before you install this.

the hotfixes wont fix the already taken photos. the thumbnails are corrupted as they are. but newly taken pics are ok.
I have this issue too. Not with the thumbnails, but the sense gallery only displays 99? And I've applied every update/patch.

Thanks for your input chaps but the pics look fine on my PC and on the HD2, it's just the thumbnails, and they were taken after the hotfix was installed!
None of the hotfix's address why you can only veiw 99 images in the Sense gallery either!

It's not abug. Just a software limitation to avoid manila slowing down the device too much.

Thats not right!!
It loads each image as needed not all at once, so makes no difference how many there are.
but it is how they have designed it, so like it or not its working "correctly"...

The images in manila photo tab should be and are cached for faster loading.
It is not done in realtime as you think.
Also,there will be some prerendering of images anticipating the next possible onces.
same method used in most softwares for anticipated rendering like in opera,gps softwares etc.

Although it does appear this way how do you know this, or is it an assumption?

Maybe one or two images ahead but not all images, if you scroll through them fast enough you'll overtake the loading/precached images.
So there is no need for a limit on how many you can view because it doesnt load them all into memory at once which is the only reason it would slow the phone down.
so no fix ?
no reg tweek ?

Hi Guys
I got 2 problems related to the Album.
1. My photos appear extremly blurry on the main screen (the part where you flick through them). It's not a huge deal, but I wouldnt mind some focus.
2. When I make my way to a video album the videos are only displayed as windows media icons. No text and no thumbnail video preview. As a result I have to guess which one of the 50 videos is the one I want to show a friend.
Please help me.
Unbelievable
I just can't believe absolutely no-one has a solution, or some advice at the least.
If I can't get help here, I am doomed.
I thought this forum was over-run by brainiacs.
Guess not.

Hey!
To be honest....it's not a solution I can offer you...because I think everybody has the same issue with the blurry pictures and no preview video, but I think I can explain why....The main reason I guess it's blurry, is because it will take too much time for the device to pre-load the images on the sceen ie...especially if you have many high resolution pictures, it takes forever to load for every picture...the same with the music...that can also takes some time to load when you slide to the music tab.....
for the video the same reason I guess..
Please anybody...correct me if i'm wrong....
BTW...If you see the amount of views for this topic, you'll see that a lot of people see your problem, but don't have a solution for it....so please newby...don't complain allright??? we all try to help each other......
I had the same problem very blurry photos. But I solved it on mine.
Copy the original photos onto your diamond into the internal storage. I put mine in my pictures for while I did this.
Then on the diamond go onto your people tab and on each of your favourite people click on the menu bottom (bottom left).
Select change picture.
Then select the photo from the location you copied them too earlier..
That's it.
Do that for each of your favourite people.
It seems outlook contacts get saved with much lower resolution photo's but if you add the photo's on the phone it's a much higher res.
Carl
BTW I deleted the folder I'd copied into internal storage once i'd completed this and the photo's all stayed so there's no need to have the copied photo's permanently on the phone

That's a good answer nice man! I knew the problem was also on the Favorites Contacts tab, where the photo's were blurry as well, but I didn't know you could also fix it on the Photo/Video Tab...!
Nice tip!
me confused
Capt_Carl, I think you are confusing "blurry pictures in Photo & Video Tab" (my problem) with "blurry contact pictures in the Favorite People Tab" (solved this a while ago).
Am I just misunderstanding Capt_Carl.
What do you think Pietje_1985?

Yes....to be honest...i'm confused as well.. because of the fact that I knew there was a problem with the Favorite People tab and the pictures, but for the Photo/Video tab, I still think you can't solve that problem....... I thought Capt_Carl had the answer, but I think not after I read your post MaD-CoW
Ne ways...I hope maybe somebody else is familiar with the problems and somebody has got a solution to it.....
Cheers
Bump
Has anyone solved the blurry photos in the photo & video tab?
I have the same problem. 700 views and still no luck. I'll wait.
I'll join in the wait as well.
Update?
Maybe an update to the new official ROM 2.03 could help?
With the 2.03 ROM the problem started for me. On 1.93 it was fine.
Make the pictures 240x320
When I take photos and open Album app to view, the thumbnail previews of the photos look very saturated and posterised.
Any tips?

Yeah, I mentioned it here.

BTW, they also look the same if you put your card in another phone, or as thumbnails on your PC ??!!
It's not a solution but, if you change the setting Quality to super fine (my ROM is French "Super fin") the thumbnails are over satured, if you put back standard setting (fine), there is no over satured thumbnails.
It's a bull**** but maybe it could make htc make a patch.

Yes, oversaturated on PC too.
So a friend of mine took a picture with her HTC Hero and it saved it improperly. The problem is that I know the data is there as the thumbnail is generated differently on different programs and each program shows a little bit more or less of the photo. Is there any way to fix this? I attached the file.
Thank you,

programs on the phone or PC?
Seems to me like its an issue with the files data as far as the resolution of the image is concerned. But I am not sure.
I have been using FroyoStone Series V1 for about 2 weeks and when I went back to WinMo (until I get my hands on V2) I have noticed quite a problem.
My archived photos I had (about 100) have vanished (!?!) and my gallery from Home Tabs no longer works properly. For some odd reason gallery now reads EVERYTHING graphics related and all small icons, shortcuts, etc - is displayed in it () Then, no larger pictures can be slid from one to another unless I start viewing pictures from Albums - than I can slide, multi-zoom, etc.
Does anyone have similar problems and what possibly can be the solution to it?
I too have the same problem, the images tab stores all the images of the Android system, there is a solution?

Try to hide in options all folders OR go into your DCM folder and then thumbnails and delete all of the little pics. This actually solved mu issue under WinMo sine it now works totally fine.
MOD - you may rename it with SOLVED... thanks
9 out of 10 times, nothing loads in the gallery. Sometimes the folder shows up but no pictures, and sometimes just the yellow/black background. I can reboot my phone but the problem will persist again after leaving it on for awhile.
Anyone else having this problem?
I am with Virtuous 9.0 and 9.5 which uses the HTC Gallery. Only folder it displays is the camera shots folders. There are a couple of other folders on my phone that won't shot up (like my DroCap folder).
the 3d gallery is total garbage.
Believe it or not, the stock gallery that came with the espresso sense on the Mytouch slide was better than the 3d gallery. At least all the pictures showed up and it wasn't dog crap slow.
Do you guys have tons of pictures on your phones?
I may have 100 seperated into folders on my sd card. Just wondering if the amount of pics may be the problem.
Have over 300 pictures in my gallery and MOST of the time it works just fine. Sometimes it will open up and not display anything. A force close and a cache clear typically fixes that though.
I've also noticed mine sometimes does not load any pictures and I have to close it and try again. It's been working pretty good the past few days though.
Any chance at getting the old-school gallery version on these G2s? I tried QuickPic and really liked it, but the only downfall is that it took a while to generate thumbnail images when you launched it. Worse of all, it seemed to do that every time I started that application, but it is better than the 3-D gallery.

Here is a thread for the old 2d gallery.
I tried it but I was too lazy to let it make thumbnails of all my pictures and I nandroided back. I may try it again if there are good results.

You could try clearing cache for the gallery. Settings - manage applications - all - gallery then clear cache.

When it happens, use Rescan Media. It will scan your phone and show up all of your pictures and videos.

I don't think it has something to do with the quantity. The 1st time it occured to me it was 10 days after I got my phone and I had something like 50 pics in it.
From what I've read since this is a well-known bug.
