I just downloaded a map from Sugarbush Ski mountain in Vermont so I'd have it handy when skiing there. Unfortunately, when I zoom in the image is so blurry that I can't really read the text. The same map looks fine on my desktop computer.
Unfortunately I can't post a link to the map because the XDA developer's site won't allow me to (you can't post links until you've made 5 other posts to the forum). Just google 'Sugarbush' and you will be able to find the static trail map image. Someone else who's been around here longer could post the link in a follow up message.
I've tried viewing it in multiple programs (standard browser, Dolphin browser, gallery view), and all show the same problem.
Can other Nexus one owners confirm that they have the same issue?
Any suggestions?
I think android might downsize/downconvert images automatically so you will not be getting the original resolution of the image.
UPDATE:I can confirm that the image is definitely lower resolution than the one that appears on desktop. Here is the link:

I just mounted my Nexus via USB and checked the file that I'd downloaded to it. The actual file stored on the Nexus One is full resolution and displays fine on the PC. It's just on the Nexus that it fails to display well.
This seems more like a bug then a feature.
I just made a simple 2000x1000 graphic with two strings of text, one aliased and the other antialiased with a crosshatched background.

You can clearly see how blurry both lines of text and the crosshatches are when you zoom in on the android browser or in the gallery. It looks like there is either a huge amount of compression being applied to the image, or that the image is being resized for viewing and the blur effect is due to a loss of detail that you don't get back when you zoom in.
I don't know if imageshack has a bandwidth limit, but here is the same image on imgur.com. You can see the extra effects of blurring, though you also see a lot of jpeg artifacting from the high compression imgur apparently automatically applies.

Sup, ppl?
Hey, I have a new X8 phone (3 weeks old) and I have a major issue with my camera from day 1!!! It's all glitchy and blurry, with wrong lighting and i can't take pictures at all. Sometimes when I repair the update with PC Companion or SEUS it gets to work again, but after using the phone for some time, it bugs again, especially after playing Angry Birds (even for just once!!!). I have never rooted my phone, it's all original.
I had it repaired by the service center, they said they just ran a software update (and I had the latest version) and I don't know how all my apps were still on the phone (I never manage to do this, everytime I repair the update I lose all my apps, how can I keep them?). I searched the web for several hours and haven't found anyone with my problem. I have posted question on SE support forums and on their Facebook page, but no one seems to help me. I think I'm having this unit replaced.
Another thing is that I formatted my SD card, and I thought I could get the original content again, but I was wrong. I had the "music" folder backed up, but I don't have the "media" folder. I lost some of the alarms (like the "multi alarm" one) and the notifications. Can someone upload the media folder for me please?
Thanks for all the help.

What did u mean blurry? Maybe this phone does no come with an auto focus camera that why when you take picture will blur. Correct me if i'm wrong.
It's not exactly blurry, but it look horrible. For example if you edit a picture and you start messing with hue, saturation or color balance. The more you mess, the worse it gets. The display shows an bad colored looking picture and taking pictures does not work. Tried searching everywhere but can't find anyone with similar problem.
Can you post some photos? The best would be if you could put the phone fg on a table and take a photo without moving it at all. Cause to me it looks like either the camera itself is the issue or something wrong with software, if you're saying that when you mess with settings it gets even worse.

It's not that I can mess with the settings, the camera app doesn't have ANY settings to mess. The messing with settings exampled I used was about using a photo editor and try messing with the color levels or hue/saturation of any picture. My camera is displaying a screwed up image as if there was some color filter applied to it, someting that would react really poorly to lighting. Just like if you picked up a 16 million color picture with many gray colors (variant colors) and you converted it to like 256 colors, it would look really poor. That's the image my camera shows.
And did you try others apps for camera? Maybe there's something wrong with it. If not - go for warranty

It happens to any camera app.
I'm an IT guy and I know sometimes unexplainable things happen with hardware/software. Today when I woke up, when I was going to put the phone in the pocket for leaving home, it slipped and fell to the ground scattering parts all over (cover and battery). After rassembling it i thought: "Wtf? I'll try the camera!". And believe or not: it was working PERFECTLY. And is perfect to this very moment. Some problems just don't have a reasonable explanation.
Original SD Content
Now the only missing piece is the original SD content, which I happened to wipe out unadvertedly. I tried some undelete tools, but none found the data, and I probably already overwrote all the data with many backups that I made.
So, if anyone could be very kind to post me the media folder contents (with the alarms and everything) and also the pictures that came in the images folder I guess?
Thanks, ppl.

shutup-----
So, a problem I've had for awhile on a stock rooted Note 3 after the last Tmobile update:
Images display correctly in the gallery (nothing here has changed). However, some (but not all) images upload to anything else incorrectly rotated, be it email, Facebook, Dropbox, etc.
It's like somehow the phone is misinterpreting the orientation of the image when sending it to other apps, even though the gallery view is correct. I've not seen this anywhere else or reported after looking a bit. Is there similar experience out there or a possible solution?
Hi Everyone,
I would to share an issue with you all, I'm using LG V20-H990. I got this phone at around Nov 2016? It was working fine then until a month later...
I was taking a few photos of sceneries to test out the camera and basically fiddle around with the settings to get different effects. But at the end of the day, when I wanted to see back all the photos I took. It seems to show this weird icon of a "Gallery icon with a Triangle sign with an '!' in it at the bottom right of the gallery icon" (I'm sorry if the description isn't that great.) Somehow my pictures are gone but they are still in my gallery?
I also got myself a 64gb SD Card to try to counter the problem. But it resurfaced even so. I looked up online and found out this is a rare case and not many people face them? Some of them provided solutions to when I try them, it is to no avail. It still shows the icon.
Does anyone else faces this issue? Could it be something to do with the software? If anyone have the solution here please it would a great help as I have a lot of photos and they all mean something to me. I wouldn't want to open up my gallery and found that all of them are gone...
Thank you.
Regards,

Hello guys/girls
I'm having a sort of "bug" when I zoom on or out on Google photos... The zooming seems to be very laggy and slow... Any of you experienced that?
Number firmware?
Nope, works fine in both Google Photos and QuicPick.
Do you mean when you zoom in on the image. First its little blurry and then the details are resolved ( image becomes clear)?
Does this happen on all images?
OR
Images taken by your device
OR
Pics backed up on cloud (google photos backup and you have removed that image from device storage)
If it happens on the downloaded images then what is the resolution?, Size?, Format?
Downloaded images shouldn't cause that bug until and unless image is of very high quality.(taken from professional cameras)
See you left out so many details.
Next time provide more information as it narrows down the cause of the problem. Which in turns gives faster solution.
Regards
