Hello everyone,
I've started to notice that when viewing some images in the stock Gallery app a symbol appears over the image (and also in folder view). This seems to be related to images with a specific ratio between width and height, but I wanted to ask if anyone has a more detailed explanation of it.
TL;DR: Help, my Gallery app is playing tricks on me.

Click on it?
It looks like panorama.....or maybe the movie view thing in Apple products.
I've forgot to mention: tried tapping, holding, frowning at it, but to no avail. Doesn't seem related to any motion feature/eye control, etc.

it simply says that the pic is a panoramic picture
That's what I was thinking, since it needs a specific ratio between width and height, but it applies to any image with that ratio (not only panoramic photos taken with the camera). Problem is, it stays there all the time, and sometimes I have to zoom in and out and move the image around in order to read the text in it.
Can it be disabled? Or what's the purpose of it, really? I can tell by myself that it's a panoramic shot, no need for it.
Thanks.

You're on panorama mode. Click on mode and select a different mode.

No, I was talking about the stock Gallery app, not the Camera. Still, it's not in Panorama, but Auto.
That symbol appears in the above mentioned conditions only in the Gallery, regardless of the Camera settings.
But thanks anyway.

Understand?
on the phone its looks ok..
i dont have this bug on the officle rom..
any solution?
Our Heros baaaad camera? =)
no i think he means the 'cubes' on the picture, you can see it better when it is a bit smaller, http://hero.host-il.co.il/IMAG0001.jpg, click on that link and not make it bigger(so it fits in your webbrowser screen)
Dude exactly the same problem that I have with all 2.1 roms... I already reported:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6148051#post6148051
take a look at the next posts too... i think it's a driver/software problem, because with 1.6 i don't have the problem...
there must be a solution, any chance if we somehow replace the camera app from a 1.6 build ?
edit:
seems somebody is working on a fix... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=662436

Exactly .. These strange cubes..
any Solutions?
while they may be working on a fix, the issue will be fixed when we have an official rom and therefore official camera drivers in the kernel.
This thread had me puzzled for a while as I couldn't see the effect, until I followed some of the links & found a photo of someone's pc screen.
What you're seeing is a moiré pattern. It doesn't reflect a bug in the image creation software. If anything's faulty is the software you're using to view scaled images; it's making a crap job of scaling the image using an inadequate sampling technique, probably point sampling.
The reason you are only seeing it with certain image sources is probably down to dithering. Moiré patterns appear when an image is sampled which contains a very fine repeating pattern. In this case it could well be something as innocent as the camera driver using an ordered dither to improve the image. OTOH it is possible the driver is introducing an erroneous fine repeating pattern of tonal variations.
Either way, you won't see any issues if you use decent software to view or process your images. For example, I couldn't see any issues when viewing images in Chrome or XNView. Windows built in software is a different matter, no surprise.
Yeah, same here. I could not see the effect being described in post one on my MacBook no matter how long or how scaled the image was in my browser.
I do however see it on the link posted above of the computer screen. I have to agree that it is not an issue with the camera or the phone software itself..
It is a software issue of the phone...
How come older pics taken with Android 1.6 builds are being scaled OK?
Hi, I was having a play with one earlier - and it appeared that when you take a picture there is no way within the app to see the picture you just took? You have to exit out and go into gallery?
Is there a way around this? Ta
There is an list of latest taken photos on right side... You can even expand it & then it shows all files in image-folder...

Thanks, I thought it strange there was no way to do this. Buy the model I was playing with (three uk branded) definatly didn't have it - must be different rom versions?
Thanks anyway
Remember that you can flash a normal non-messed up rom from the dev section,
like my orange uk version, is now a on the global rom minus the orange bloatware

If you swipe the thumbnails to the right, they will disappear... if you swipe from the very right edge of the screen toward the centre.. they will come back!... same with the menus on the other side (but in reverse!)
Is it possible to remove compression from our phone? Try to take a picture and the size only around 700kb when i use 8mp setting.
you can use vignette off the market - but in the tests I've done it doesn't really improve the image quality very much at all.. and actually in some shots I preferred the stock camera's results.
yeah, i like the result of the stock camera apps. But when i transfer the file to my PC and zoom it, the quality still not too good because of the compression. that is why i'm trying to remove the compression.
Wait for my MOD once we get root
I will add photo preview too
Is there any way to have multi shots option???
To press camera button and take 3-5 pictures in a row...
I miss that capability....

Hi All,
Is there any settings or app using which I can browse through my gallery and the picture is displayed on FULL SCREEN??

still I have to tap to zoom, QuickPic is far better than this..need something to fit images exactly on screen !!
The stock image viewer does that as standard!
Quickpic is simply the best! Been using it for a long time now....ill never get rid of it.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
guys I know QuickPic is the best
BUT I NEED AN APP TO DISPLAY THE IMAGES ON FULL SCREEN !!!!!!!!! without tapping image...
like i said.. stock gallery does that already.

Your image doesn't even fully fit the screen. Of course, it will first stretch-to-fit, instead of cropping the image just to completely fill the screen.

No man, every image is like this (even the default images preloaded into aRc, also the pics taken thru stock camera does not fir the screen) !!!!!!!!!!
Just Check on ur Phone...
I THINK THE ONLY OPTION IS TO HAVE PICS OF RESOLUTION 1920x1080
Got it
I have changed Resolution in Camera to 6MP 16:9
Now the pics taken from camera can be seen fully occupying the screen...
Need to chk how much diff in quality between 8MP & 6 MP !!!
If you shoot a good photo in a special moment, there is maybe a very small part on top of the picture which you would like to crop out, to make the photo perfect! But: If you do that, you will have the following issues:
It reduces the size of your photo - means you loose quality
It will remove the location from your photo - you can't remember where the exact point of shooting was
the photo will not stay in the right sequence in your gallery
maybe you loose exif information
I tried to edit my photos with:
Built in crop
QuickPick
Photo Studio
Photos
No one of them did a good job. Any suggestions from you what the perfect App would be?
Cheers

Snapseed is my favorite by far of the bunch. Very easy to work with with its swiping setup. The photos will be placed in the correct order you only have to move them to the original camera directory with a file explorer after editing them.
@defcomg. With that app you can't crop!

Hello everybody.
I just bought note 4, but i found a stupid issue, the g-sensor in camera is wrong calibrated.
When i hold the phone vertically, the spot in surround mode or virtual tour shows wrong place.
P.S.
My device is new without root.
Tried other same devices, same issue. Others doesn't.
I tried sensor calibration apps. No result.

Any idea?
Does Surround mode even work in vertical position? I assume you have no problem using it horrizontaly.
I thought I replied to this, but I don't see the reply anymore
That's normal... it just means your camera isn't level - move it up to the circle and it'll start taking pictures .

I don't think he wants an up - down surround, but rather a left - right.

Surround mode will do up, down, left, and right - it's a 360 pano, like PhotoSphere. If you just need a left-right pano, then use Panoramic mode :good:

No worries - that said, I had an update for both the panoramic mode and surround mode through the Galaxy App store in the past few days.Not sure what they fixed or if it works better - no changelog.
Thanks to all for replies.. but the problem that it must shoot at vertical. I can move up. But in virtual mode it will shoot sky..
I think the problem in the calibration if sensors
