Oh my gosh!! So I'm going through my Google Plus that I rarely use and what do I see? Moving pictures like the HTC One gallery. After examining, I realize that they're my Zoe's. They move like in the HTC One Gallery. Except!! All the Zoe's move at once. They're playing at like 10 frames per second. LoL!! So it's pretty choppy, but it's cool nonetheless.
The thing I noticed is that the actual videos aren't moving, just the Zoe's I've uploaded. I find that very cool since Zoe's are nothing more than a 3 second video file. It's like Google+ knows the video is a Zoe. This just made Google Plus so much cooler. I want to show EVERYONE my photo album now. LoL!! =.P
Haha, I know it's very cool. It wasn't always like that (still have albums that show the individual frames from my Zoes from April) but it does makes G+ that much better. Besides, I like G+ simply because I can snap a pic and forget about it with the auto uploading feature.

The stock gallery app on the Nexus One is HORRIBLE. Flashy, shiny, touchy, yes. But all of my photos are incredibly compressed and zooming in results in a massive JPG compression artifact fest.
I wrote a bunch of notes on a whiteboard and my friend with a Droid and I both took photos of it to keep a record with our phones, but to my horror, the notes were COMPLETELY unreadable on my phone: all of the detail was gone, even though the camera preview after I took the shot looked fine zoomed in.
The Droid does not have this problem in its gallery app.
I found another Gallery app meant for the Droid on the market and it does not have this issue. The photos I took were fine, it was the gallery app loading a piss poor quality version of the photo.
Does Google know their gallery app sucks? Do they just not care? It makes it seem like the Nexus One takes godawful pictures when really the pictures are just fine!
Yep.

This also extends to setting wallpapers from the gallery app, which explains why every wallpaper from my camera looks like ass.
If you set wallpapers using "wallpaper set and save" from the market, your wallpapers are WAY, WAY higher quality.
So I guess my question is, how do we make sure Google knows about this bug?

It is an app that's on the market.
Only 34 stars :/
For some reason, google or samsung felt that we shouldn't be able to see the full quality of our picks in the stock gallery app. I was wondering this for my self because my pictures kept appearing blurry on my phone but not n my pc.
I suggest everyne download large image viewer from the market, it allows you to see your pictures in full resolution instead of the blurry mess that the gallery offers. I hope this issue gets handled though, this phone is way too powerful to be forced into lower quality image viewing!

I've always hated the blurriness on the stock gallery app too. It was the same on the EVO. The difference with this image viewer app is night and day. I love it Thanks!
I love this gallery for it's functionality, but damn, you are right. It just kills the quality the second you start zooming in.
Large Image Viewer does a nice job, just wish you didn't have to tap left and right arrows to goto the next picture.

I am currently using 3 Gallery apps on the DHD; HTC Stock, Floating Image, and Gallery 3D.
Over all i think i prefer gallery 3D but it has some issues, when zooming in with Gallery 3D the image is a lot fuzzier than the HTC app.
It seems to be Version 1.1.3...
Is there anything that can be done?
There seems to be a distinct lack of options when it comes to the app.
I noticed this too and rated it low and left a comment...
I guess the dev isn't bothered at this point
Dev? I thought google was the dev, oops :/
Did it not come with the nexus one as stock?
Edit:
You rated it low? It is still awesome, id give it 4* with one deducted for lack of configuration options and fuzzy zoom...
I forget, I think I gave it 2 or 3. The fact you can't zoom in on an image seems a pretty massive drawback on an image app...
Yeah, I thought it was Google, but you'll see it in the Markets so...?
The description of the market app says its a 3rd party port if i remember correctly
Having said that, that means theres some source floating around, i'll have a look and see what the problem is, should be a fairly simple fix...
Would be very interested if you did. Be sure to let me know here if you do!
Hey I was also wondering how that app went on the dhd... i had it on hero but was slower then a sumo wrestler rock climbing!
but don't Cooliris make the app?
http://www.cooliris.com/mobile/nexus-one/
It is buttery smooth, no lag whatsoever
I installed Gallery 3D from Market couple hours ago because HTC own gallery app doesn't show pics from Picasa web albums and for me its superfast. And pictures are sharp and I can zoom in and out.

To clarify, everything works great, you CAN zoom in, but it does re-render the images.
If you zoom in on the Sense Gallery app, it will re-draw it showing the finest possible detail.
Zoom in on Gallary 3D and it doesn't redraw it Looks fuzzy when you zoom right in.
So I loaded a ton of high res photos straight from my DSLR forming a digital portfolio on my Xoom, but one thing is really irking me. When you first launch the gallery, the image is rendered somewhat fuzzy until you pinch and zoom in - then it becomes nice and sharp. Has anyone found a way around this? Should I be resizing to a ceettain size before transferring to the Xoom?
It's just a tad annoying that when swiping through photos in a gallery, they're all previewed almost in a low res fashion. Id hate to have to zoom in just to show how a photo is supposed to look.

Android Gallery sucks ... period.
Google does not spend time for that.
Go to the Market and get "QuickPic".
That's better.

i resize to 1600x1200 to save storage mostly but the images show well in both stock gallery and QuickPics. Higher Res takes a second to resolve to full detail but it should do so without the pinch and zoom trick. QuickPics saves the full screen view once you view the image the first time so it is faster on both viewing and slide shows.

Hi all,
I'm developing a full resolution image viewer "Gallery illusion HD" that supports big "jpgs" and displays pictures with no quality loss. Now is in public beta and can be download free on the Android Market. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Regards,
Mobileillusion
You should add basic viewer functions as scrolling by finger, rotate and so on.

Hi moriakoj,
thanks for the feedback. I will add those features in next versions.
The application is intended, above all, to see the details of high-resolution images (> 10 MP). Most viewers downscale the image in such images.
Regards,
Mobileillusion.
I was wondering how one sends a "sound & shot" photo. I tried MMS, gmail, and chat on but all just send the photo without audio. Also recording .gifs in the camera with "animated photo", a nine second gifs is 29mb and there's no way to send that.

I too do not see a way to share sound&shot pictures. Samsung ads show these shared, we can sue Samsung I bet they did not release the shared feature yet in this software that was most likely rushed to market.
My animated gifs come out at 700+ x 400+ pixels and at most 8Mb in size for most "animated" ones. Make sure you let a small part of the pic to be animated. That is the beauty of it actually - making one little detail move while everything else is still. If you want everything to move, just take a video.

Ahh I had to trim the gif and choosing a specific part to animate helped too! :thumbup: now we need to figure out the sound & share issue.
