I have searched the web, no one seems to have this problem?
So since the new gallery app, I think it came with Android 5. Whenever I download an image, from web or from Google drive it is blurred in the gallery, it is also blurred when I load it up full screen.
I have disabled 'Auto Enhance' I am not sure what this does but thought it could be the problem, this has made no difference. I have to edit every picture I download from my google drive, and enhance the 'deatil' option and 'sharpening' to fix each one. I don't want to be doing this as this is no doubt a drop in quality.
I also experience this problem on my Nexus 7 same android version. However my Nexus 10 does not seem to be doing the same, or if it is it is a lot less apparent. maybe just due to the higher resolution and screen size.
Any help would be appreciated....
Has no one got any ideas on this? I could post it in nexus 10 and 7 threads to, but don't really want to spam the forum.

Did you try to do wipe data and cache of this new gallery as well as the hidden folder /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails?
If that didn't work for you, you could try KitKat's gallery app or a completely different one ( see Play Store)
Happy new year, by the way
Yup, having this same problem with my Nexus 4 running Android 5.0.1
Screen captures are also blurry and pictures transferred from computer to phone are same.
Any solution would be helpful
same problem
I used to have the same problem in 5.0 . I even confirmed with quick pic and some other gallery. Ever since i updated to 5.0.1 problem seems to be resolved. Still searching for a good gallery app. The apps i for from play store are way too slow.

Just got my Nexus 10 and I am really annoyed with the way the Play Store is working on it. Apps only show their permissions instead of the description as to what the app does, changelog, pics, etc that one would normally see. Anyone else having this issue and how can I fix it? Tried deleting all of the data from the Play Store but issue prevails.
they changed the UI, which I agree with you, it's stupid. Anyways you can get to the description if you click on the area above all the permissions.

It's just a UI change. You have to tap on the picture of the area where the logo/name and install/uninstall buttons are. I hate it. It's even worse now with the new Play Store update... a similar issue is now present on the N4 and N7 for me. Especially annoying when an app has an update and you have go to a separate screen to find out what the update contains...
wow, yeah, that is annoying
Howdy! I'm new to this forum as I just got an N7 for Christmas (got one for my kids too) but I've been lurking on XDA for a while with my Nexus One and HOX.
Facebook is crashing on my N7 when I try to share a pic from the Gallery that the N7 sees as an Instant Upload from my HOX via Google+. I'm not sure if this is known issue or not - I tried the search and did not see anything similar. Sharing a pic that is local on the N7 works just fine. I'm guessing it's not really an "issue", just more like the way it is as the Instant Upload image is not locally stored on the device. But one would think that if the option is there it should work. I've not rooted or anything (yet - not sure if there's a need right now).
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this? If it should be considered an issue, is it an issue for Facebook or an issue for Google?
Just to test, I was able to upload an Instant Upload pic to Instagram just fine. Must be a Facebook issue.

Google+'s Auto Backup feature isn't uploading all of the photos I'm taking on my Android. Everything is set right (to upload via Wi-Fi or mobile data connection and whether or not charging), but I took 7 pictures today, and only 2 have been "Auto Backed up." The phone's been on a great data connection for hours since those photos were taken, but they're still not backing up. Even worse, when I've selected "Back up all" from the Google+ app, it immediately tells me "upload complete," so it seems that the app _think_ it's uploaded all the photos even thought it hasn't.
Is anyone else seeing this? I'm running a Google Play Edition Galaxy S4. And the issue has persisted even after a hard reset. I'm not sure if this is an(other) issue specific to the Google Play Edition S4 or not.
me too
I've been having this issue for months too. My phone: the HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE (Verizon), also known as the Thunderbolt II (it's original name before sales). Android 4.0.4.
No other replies? I suspect the problem is widespread but people don't yet know it...
Same here, since last week autobackup is not uploading any picture.
On the other hand. Dropbox camera upload its working just fine.
So i can say is not an network issue.

I've been having this same issue on my DROID4 since early November. It had worked seamlessly before that. I've tried everything, including clearing cache, clearing data, uninstalling all G+ updates (various combos of these three with reboots) selecting and de-selecting every option under the sun. I'm just done. If anyone can figure out a fix, I'm be eternally grateful!
I am having the same issue on my Galaxy Nexus. New pictures are uploading but pictures from past year are not. If I tap "Back up all" it immediately says: "Upload complete". I tried to clearing g+ data, cache, re-install. Still having this issue. Did anyone managed to fix this problem?
I have CM 11 M8 (Android 4.4.4)

No, factory data reset will not revert it to android 4.3 or any other previous version, it'll remain 5.0. All your user data such as pics, videos and music and app settings and customisations will be lost, so you'll have to set up your phone from scratch again.
Thanks. Is it possible to install kitkat 4.4 version.

Yes of course. Download the factory image of 4.4 and flash in bootloader but doing so will wipe your data not wiping data will be buggy. So backup your data first if you can. Heres guide on how to flash factory images.

You can also also try go through a toolkit

You have similar issues to me, got another thread running but no suggestions yet unfortunately;
Well my Nexus 4 has had Lollipop for 2.5 days now, its probably had 50 reboots, cleared the cache twice, uninstalled most of the apps and changed those drawing options.
In that time I've managed a couple of hours of Spotify, composed half a post on here in the browser before it froze, and although its freezing less often, I cannot seem to access my photos at all, Google Play, G Now, G +, the Youtube App, Gmail are all inaccessible. No successful calls or texts, and I can't even view my phone book for more than half a second before it shuts. Consistently struggles to get mobile reception and mobile data is even rarer.
I'm sure that on Kitkat I was given the option between two default launchers, and I changed it as one of the apps (I think it was misshaps which displays contact info after the lockscreen times out in case the phone is lost) didn't play nicely with one of them. But on Lollipop I can't see how to change it back, the Internet wants me to install a launcher thing from Google Play but I can't as Google Play won't open!
And the biggest problem? Although my laptop makes a sound when I plug my phone into it, and my phone knows it is connected as a media device, it won't show up on the computer so I can't back up my photos before doing a full reset. (I know I know, should have done it before but didn't think to do it!)
Any suggestions? I haven't checked to see how much is backed up to Google drive yet and currently the phone is frozen on its lock screen...
This is pretty much my only real problem on my Nexus 4. My phone just doesn't like the Google Maps app. Every time I start it up, it crashes within three seconds. I noticed that this problem began appearing since I switched to ART when I was on Kitkat 4.4.4. On Dalvik the app runs fine. Somehow waters also look very distorted on my phone no matter what the runtime or Android version it's running. In the logcat it's printing stuff about some libraries (libGLESv2_adreno.so and libandroid_runtime.so).
Has anyone experienced this before and know a fix to this problem? Thanks in advance.

Same problem. Started with latest maps update. Still happening with a fresh install of a new rom.
Beat guess is low system memory as lollipop takes more space.
