I am running windows 7 and when i take pics from my camera on mytouch 4g it is
makeing duplicate copies of the same pic i just took. When i transfer to my computer it shows up as a two different resolutions of same pic. So i went to astro file manager to find where is it saving two different copies of the same pic. This is what i found. sdcard/DCIM/.thumnails and 100media. Why is the phone saving under thumnails and 100media idk. Plz someone help. I already did hard reset. Also i call tech support and they don't know why is my phone doing this.
Every device, even your PC, creates thumbnails in order to display the pics quickly and seamlessly at a resolution that is more manageable than 5 MP. Did you not know the purpose of a thumbnail?

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.

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
I've loaded some photos onto specific contacts so they show up in the TouchFlo People tab as speed dial links. The photos look crap when they're shown in the flickable list. I've tried all resolutions (from large to small). One photo looks fine (no idea why) but others look like really heavily compressed jpegs.
Photo slides in the Photos tab look just as bad. The original ones loaded onto the machine looked fine but whatever resolution I try for my own images they look heavily compressed and pixellated. They're all jpegs, just like the originals.
Can anybody help please?
Just recently got the HD Touch myself coming off of the Pro Dual and yea, had the same "issue". Basically had to re-do my photos for contacts; ended up doing 500x500 saved as pngs...
Hope that helps!
Thanks for that. I'll try making some pngs and see if it helps.
Well png images for the People tab has certainly improved things. Thank you for that tip. They also look great in the Photos tab. I guess TouchFlo doesn't know how to optimise png images.
But what about the 'Photos' tab? My albums are full of jpegs and I don't want to have to reproduce them as pngs just for the bloody TouchFlo screen. Why do the original photos look so much better?
There are people in this forum complaining about the sharpness of the TouchFlo background image, but am I the only one whinging about these album pics? Grrr...
Try using photo album, then choose the photo and assign to contact.
i used the people tab and from there added the people and then choose menu --> change picture. looks a lot better and no resizing pictures needed.

I've tried all ways and the png method is the only thing that made a difference.
I had the same prob....You need to add the photo from the people tab using the menu button, they look fine if you do it this way.
I found the way that gave the best quality by far was to add them via the Favourite People tab as a 256 x 256 JPG. A bit of a pain in the arse to do but at least you only have to do it once.

calvin55 is right - I had the same problem and then moved good pictures into "My Pictures" folder and then from the photo album used the "assign to contact" option.
Big improvement !
OK, I've taken a photo of the screen to show you what I mean about the poor quality images in the Photo tab. Hopefully it's clear what's wrong with the preview image...
I confirm that the album method works fine and fix this problem.
Create thumbnails of your choice and move them all to My Pictures folder.
Then open Album, choose an image, and 'Save To Contact'. works great.
Can I remind all people to read the tips & tricks part of the wiki
It already has the solution to your problem amongst other tips/tweaks you may all like
Hi Res Contact Photos
Assign contact photos on your SD card directly to specific contacts for hi-res thumbnails. If you assign contact photos in Outlook and then sync, the contact photos on your phone will be low-res.
All contact photos should be saved to My Pictures folder on your Storage card
Normally, People will go to
>>menu>>change picture>>name.jpeg
But that will give u low resolution.
Try using this method, it eliminates the trouble to resize or change format.
>>file explorer>>[open pic file]>>menu>>save to contact>>select a contact
and this will solve your problem

So for a few days now I've been using the wireless storage function on my G2 to transfer pictures over to my computer. It's usually around 150-200 photos. I use I.E. to browse my wireless storage files, however, there is always one picture missing within the folder, but I can still see the picture on my phone. And I'm not talking about after I transfer my photos over to my computer, I'm talking about inside the network drive (\\192.168.0.XX). I'll attach a few pictures so you can better understand. I've tried to Google the problem, but I've had no success. . This is not a huge problem, it's just annoying when I need to have all of the pictures for sure and then I have to do a man hunt to find out which one is gone. Thanks, all help is much appreciated.
Is it really missing or just miscalculate?
Next time, try to transfer 10 images and see if one missing or not.

Nothing is being transferred. Like I said, it's in the G2 network drive where the photo is missing. Look in the photo I uploaded that's showing the 265 photos being selected, nothing was transferred prior to that screen-grab
EDIT - Also notice the network map in the first photo (\\192.168.0.10\g2\sdcard0\DCIM\100LGDSC)
H all,
I just plugged my Note 3 into my PC to transfer some WhatsApp pictures. I go to The WA images folder and notice that some (the majority) of photos from recently are missing. Instead there are photos taken weeks ago but they 'newer' dates.
An example.. I have an image called "IMG-20140819-WA0017" but this has the thumbnail of the image I received months ago which is called "IMG-20140628-WA0075". The one dated yesterday will not open either "Windows photo viewer will not open.."
Each time I refresh the folder on Windows I can have different results, images will hide/show, older images will show up again.. its a massive mess.
I just got sent a picture of a car. The folder thumbnail on my PC is the car. I go into "resources" under properties on the image and it says "Thumbnail" and the image isn't a car. I open the picture, it loads and shows the wrong image ??
I hope this makes some sense.. has anyone experienced something similar before?
I noticed the other day that I was missing some photos after transferring my pictures from my Nexus 6P to my Mac via Android File Transfer. I didn't understand what was happening at first until I realized the missing photos are part of bursts that I took. Below are some screenshots of samples I just took today.

I usually use ES File Explorer, but I decided to take a screenshot with the built-in explorer. In any case, ES shows the same thing. In this screenshot you can see all 8 of the burst photos.
http://imgur.com/JGRpNx6
This screenshot shows only one of the 8 photos is visible in Android File Transfer.

This shows my burst settings with smart burst off. I know it shouldn't matter because if it was on, I wouldn't be able to see the photos in file explorer in the first place. But in the past, when I asked similar questions people did ask if I had smart burst on.

I hope someone can help because besides this being a significant bug, I have already lost several precious photos that can't be recovered and hope to avoid it in the future. Thanks in advance.
