why it takes a few secs for pics to look sharp - Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers

when I look at pics in the native photo album app and Google Photos, every pic takes a few secs to finally look sharp. It seems to be doing post processing. Shouldn't post processing be saved once?

No,it is because JPG is saved AS progressive to fasten load time and fine details are loaded later.

I wanted to ask the same question. It's kind of annoying to view pictures on XC because of this.

This can be if you use a slow sd card, because then the loading takes some time.

I use Class 10 brand SD card, so I guess it's not the case.

It happens also when you have the pictures in internal memory and not on SD

TouchFlow Picture Dialer.

Is there a set resolution or size the picture has to be so it can be clear in the box? Thanks!
i have the same question cause my pictures are distorted
My pictures are currently set to 2MP, there is no distortion in the pic whatsoever. The only problem is that it takes a while for the pictures to load up, i'm not sure if its because they are located on the storage card or because of the large resolution of the picture. Whats the resolution of the pictures you use???
I'm pretty sure that we can assume phonebook pics are saved onto the phone itself, not storage card... because if you take your storage card out, the pictures should still work.... plus that's built into the whole outlook/contacts part of the phone.
Whenever I'm cropping pictures I usually make them somewhere in the range of 150x150 - 200x200 or somewhere along those lines. It just depends... I haven't really sat there and thought about it too hard.
actually i do have the same problem. the pictures are shown very small and blurry this is even though the original pictures are pretty large and sizable...
is there any problem to customize the incoming call window anyway
my resolutions are SUPER high like 1600x1200 and its still blurry
yeh same here my pictures are 2mb in size from an 8 megapix camera soo i dont why its still blurry i tried puttin it in the phone insteead of the storage card but its still blurry
make the photos .png, I use that hand have very nice pictures
yeh no luck with the .png either
anyone care to post am image of a distorted image...
what do youll use to get a screen shot sorry iam new at this???
I actually think your images may be too large, you are using 2mp images with a very high res and then squeezing them down to a very small part of a 240x320 screen, try resizing your pictures down to say 200x200 or somthing like 120x160, this will also make them much smaller and save mem, and load much faster ...
all my contact pictures, for the dialer are like 240x240 and they all look fine ...
Using a 2mp image on a 240x320 screen is just going to wast your memory anyway ....

it doesn't really eat the memory, only uses .1mb to access but the main problem is that it takes a while to load up the pics, and they only load one at a time. will try the resize
As for taking a pic of the screen
http://www.pocketpccity.com/software/pocketpc/graphics-screencapture-datesort-1.html
True it does not waste memory, unless you are not storing the pics on a storage card, then it just eats storage memory for the large pic, but storing pics that big in main mem, would just be silly anyay ...
yeh i tried resizing it still blurr....
"update"
ok finally got it after I installed pocketcm the pictures cleared up thanks guys for ur help
its not really a matter of picture size, what i found is that is actually a problem with the orientation of the picture.
when the phone is in normal view, HTC home screen crops the picture, very baddly. the picture gets a square ratio, but when HTC home screen is in the landscape orientation, the same blurry pictures now look perfect. what i've done is to change all my pictures to have a square ratio or atleast a vertical 4:3 ratio
my 2 cents
how does pocketcm work? helps a lot?
The Answer
The Answer to the original question is to use the 'Change Picture' from the Menu Button on TouchFlo 3D. For some reason, chaning the picture in either Pocket Outlook or Desktop Outlook distorts the picture and doesn't keep the resolution. I hope that this can solve the thread.
Edit - Sorry if I sound smug but this post was first on my google search but I didn't find the answer for another 2 hours!!! I reckoned this would stop others from having to hunt.

Photo thumbnail in Album - over-saturated.

When I take photos and open Album app to view, the thumbnail previews of the photos look very saturated and posterised.
Any tips?

Yeah, I mentioned it here.

BTW, they also look the same if you put your card in another phone, or as thumbnails on your PC ??!!
It's not a solution but, if you change the setting Quality to super fine (my ROM is French "Super fin") the thumbnails are over satured, if you put back standard setting (fine), there is no over satured thumbnails.
It's a bull**** but maybe it could make htc make a patch.

Photo Album Refuses to load up[TMOUS]

Rom: EnergyRom Cookie Energy Jul 08 2010 WWE
Radio:2.10.50.26
Everything else on the phone works well apart from the photo album, it just refuses to load up at all, and i cannot even open up pictures through explorer.
It's really frustrating as all hell..
remove all your pics off your sd to your computer. mkae sure there are no pictures on the card. Take apicture with your camera and see If it can view it now. I had the same problem untill I found out one of the pictures were causing photo album to crash. I went through 2 phones before I realised the problem was just one picture.

Thanks man, It worked. Found out it was this huge 500meg video i recorded the other day.

Gallery just plain does not work.

9 out of 10 times, nothing loads in the gallery. Sometimes the folder shows up but no pictures, and sometimes just the yellow/black background. I can reboot my phone but the problem will persist again after leaving it on for awhile.
Anyone else having this problem?
I am with Virtuous 9.0 and 9.5 which uses the HTC Gallery. Only folder it displays is the camera shots folders. There are a couple of other folders on my phone that won't shot up (like my DroCap folder).
the 3d gallery is total garbage.
Believe it or not, the stock gallery that came with the espresso sense on the Mytouch slide was better than the 3d gallery. At least all the pictures showed up and it wasn't dog crap slow.
Do you guys have tons of pictures on your phones?
I may have 100 seperated into folders on my sd card. Just wondering if the amount of pics may be the problem.
Have over 300 pictures in my gallery and MOST of the time it works just fine. Sometimes it will open up and not display anything. A force close and a cache clear typically fixes that though.
I've also noticed mine sometimes does not load any pictures and I have to close it and try again. It's been working pretty good the past few days though.
Any chance at getting the old-school gallery version on these G2s? I tried QuickPic and really liked it, but the only downfall is that it took a while to generate thumbnail images when you launched it. Worse of all, it seemed to do that every time I started that application, but it is better than the 3-D gallery.

Here is a thread for the old 2d gallery.
I tried it but I was too lazy to let it make thumbnails of all my pictures and I nandroided back. I may try it again if there are good results.

You could try clearing cache for the gallery. Settings - manage applications - all - gallery then clear cache.

When it happens, use Rescan Media. It will scan your phone and show up all of your pictures and videos.

I don't think it has something to do with the quantity. The 1st time it occured to me it was 10 days after I got my phone and I had something like 50 pics in it.
From what I've read since this is a well-known bug.

speeding up photo gallery tip

hi guys, I thought'd I'd share a tip with everybody.
I take tons of pictures and I keep everything, so my photo directory was upwards of 800 pictures at one point, when I was still using my X10.
I started moving my photos into separate directories, but that are still detected by the Gallery app.
So I keep my most recent photos in ..\DCIM\100ANDRO\ and then keep other photos organized in:
..\DCIM\2010 (X10)
..\DCIM\2011 01 to 03 (X10)
..\DCIM\2011 04 to 06 (X10)
..\DCIM\2011 07 to 08 (X10)
..\DCIM\2011 09 to 12 (Arc)
Gallery will still be able to view the subfolders, but this way, you won't have more than 100 or 200 per folder, which Gallery will handle quite easily.
If you take more pictures than that, just separate into smaller month increments, but I suspect you'll just run out of room
The naming structure is so that the directories stay in chronological order, but feel free to use your own!
I organise into folders too, but I also use quickpic instead of stock gallery.

Sorry to ask in this thread but what's the default location for Pictures, Music and Videos on the arc?
For some reason, it's not detecting my music or videos but there are folders for the same. I was just wondering if I altered the names of the folders by accident.
For me the default locations are:
Images (stock):
/sdcard/image
Images (camera photos & vids):
/sdcard/DCIM/100ANDRO
Music:
/sdcard/music
That's what it is on mine - hope this is what you were after
Thanks. That's exactly what I was asking for.
Everything seems correct on my SD card but neither images seem to be detected in the gallery nor music in the music player.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: Camera images do turn up in the gallery. Fb pictures are visible; just not the regular pictures.

Try clearing data in settings and if that fails pop out the battery for 10 seconds.
Never thought of that. Thanks.
I take alot of pictures aswell, almost hit the 1000 mark

Happened with mine when I updated it to .145.
I backed up everything, hit factory rest and restored the phone using PCC.
That solved it for me.
