I've just recently noticed (after using my camera more frequently) that the default gallery app causes the photos to be slightly blurry when viewing in full size. This problem is alleviated as soon as you zoom in, even slightly, but when you pinch out to full size again, the photo gets slightly hazy again. What is even more strange is that B&B Gallery off Marketplace does not demonstrate this fuzziness as all images are crisp regardless of if it is zoomed in or not.
Is there a setting that I can switch on the default HTC Gallery app to have all photos appear at full sharpness even at full screen size?
I see what you're saying. I took a few pictures of dinner with the family over the weekend and when I view the images in the default landscape view, they look a little fuzzy.
If I zoom in the fuzziness vanishes, and if I resize it to fit the relative size of landscape view, no fuzziness. If I tilt my phone to portrait and back to landscape, the fuzziness returns.
It is even more frustrating when you look at the photos through B & B Gallery. It isn't as integrated into the OS - ie having a shortcut within the camera view, but all the photos are clear from the start and they don't require zooming in slightly to capture the detail. Of course nothing is as bad as the stock Android 3D gallery, but it is disappointing all the same.
Just use Gallery3DMT.apk if you're having quality issues with HTC Gallery.

Is that different from:
http://phandroid.com/2010/04/13/images-look-blurry-on-android-2-1-theres-a-reason-for-that/
Just loaded it and answered my own question: no. The UI on Gallery3DMT is great, but the picture quality - especially when zooming at all - is just bad.
I too can see this. my eyes aren't great but i notice it and its pretty apparent.
I am coming from a iphone 3gs but I am wondering if there is some sort of setting on the vibrant I may be missing. I already read that the buttons do not rotate when taking a picture in portrait mode, that is not my concern, my concern is that they show up fine in gallery, they rotate themselves correctly but when I try to send an mms or an email or upload to facebook, the pictures automatically go into landscape mode so they upload sideways, is there any way to fix this?
Does anyone know of any way to set the gallery to only display portrait, cause I use it to view comics (since it loads in real-time, as opposed to actual comic viewers), but the only bummer is that reading them while lying down causes the images to switch to landscape mode. Anyone know a work around to this? I've tried other gallery apps, but they all load slowly:/ The default gallery app is SOO good!
On the Nexus 7 the gallery auto rotation of photo's is incorrect
i.e. landscape goes portrait and vice versa
They display fine on my Samsung Galaxy SII (source) and in the Google+ Photos from either any PC or the Galaxy SII
Is this a calibration issue? Or is there some other setting?
Cheers

I am having this issue also. A portrait photo with the nexus held in portrait position auto rotates to fit across the screen in landscape view. This happens when auto rotate feature is both enabled and disabled. Any suggestions?
Exactly the same problem here. Photos taken on a Nexus S running Jelly Bean and uploaded via instant upload display in incorrect orientation (always over rotated by 90 degrees) in the Gallery on Nexus 7. They are in the correct orientation when viewed any other way including on the web via Picasa and on the Nexus 7 via 3rd party Picasa viewing apps. I really would prefer to use the stock Gallery app but this is so frustrating.....
Any solutions to this? Exact same issue and it is a real bother
very same problem here
If I take a landscape photo on my SGS II and have it "instant-uploaded", it will appear okay on my Nexus 7. If I take a portrait photo on the SGS2, the photo will appear in the right orientation for app. 0,1 sec, then gets rotated (falsely.) Then, if I email that falsely rotated photo to myself, the photo will appear in the email with correct orientation.
Btw in the Google Plus app both photos have the correct orientation, so it seems to be a Jelly Bean bug, not a Samsung bug.
Solution, anyone?
Same, but different....
I've got pretty much the same problem, but rather than actually rotating the picture so that it is in the wrong orientation, it keeps the correct orientation for portrait photos, but compresses them vertically into the same space that would be used for a landscape photo, thereby distorting the aspect ratio (hope that makes sense!). Same occurrences though, only in gallery, not G+, and only on this device and for portrait oriented photos uploaded via G+ instant upload.
It is driving me insane!
Same thing here except it doesn't do it to all the pics in my instant upload. Only some of them.
It's probably some Android bug as I have the same problem on my SGS2 with CM10 (JB). All photos look ok in the Gallery (although when I exit an opened portrait photo it turns 90 degree to the right in the animation. Very annoying as all portrait photos I post on G+ are wrongly oriented.
Galaxy S3 Same problem
Same problem with my Galaxy S3, i thought i was the only one with this problem, so its a relief to know I'm not the only one, its been months since this thread was created, and its still an ongoing problem, it would be nice to know if a fix is on the works, by the looks of it, it might be a bug with android not samsung, either way has anyone found a work around this?? or heard anything new on the issue
It seem that the G2 takes all pictures in landscape mode and uses exif data to tell the viewer to rotate the image if it was taken in portrait orientation. This is totally annoying especially for mms and for viewing thumbnails in outside viewers like windows.
Any solutions on how to actually have the stock camera take a picture in portrait mode and actually store the pixels as as a portrait?
Thanks.

Hi, did you ever find a solution for this? It's so annoying, but there is almost nothing to be found about it on the Internet..
Hope you can help.
