Google Nexus 5 :: Why Is Photos Application Producing Low Quality Images
Dec 30, 2014
I have Android 5.0.1
My Photos application is having problem. Whenever i take a photo with the camera (front or back), pictures are clear in this application when previewed.
But when i take a screenshot in the phone or import a image in the phone, then preview those images or screenshots in the Photos application, it is not clear.
Also, I tried clicking the "settings" button on the top right in the Photos application, nothing is appearing.
My nexus 6p is now about 1 month old and since yesterday i noticed my rear camera has been producing unfocused and blurry images. It also make a little cracking noise when i open the camera app or switch back to the rear camera from the front facing camera. I tried to clean the lens and I even buy fv camera 5 and try manual focus but it did not work. The images produces from the rear camera are now even worse than the front facing camera.
Just noticed that there is a spot on all my images, in the same location. I had this on my DSLR a year ago and had to get it cleaned. It was an oil spot on the sensor.
I want to try L developer preview with multirom, but I need to convert the factory image to a normal zip which can be flashed through recovery. Any tutorial on how to do that?
I have Nexus 6 with latest Lollipop (5.1.1) running.I have tried many email clients (Gmail, Nine, Blue, Aqua, etc. and found no way to insert photos inline into an email. Only as an attachment.I would love to be proven wrong here, because I want this to work, but the fact that you can't do this is INSANE. iPhone? Easy to do... Long press, "Insert Photo", pick the photo (or take a photo). Done.
Android? Nope, can't do it. Can't even copy a photo into the clipboard from Photos, or any other photo viewer. Best you can do is sometimes copy an image from a webpage and past it inline using Nine Exchange client.This is the type of thing that keeps Android always second best, never quite able to be equal with iOS for usability.
"How To Flash The Factory Images (And Return To Stock)" and it said to extract the factory images but I always get an error from Winrar and 7zip. I downloaded many times from google page.
and leave the bootloader and radio alone, it should put me back to near stock erasing everything so its like from factory state? TWRP doesnt touch some partition even when formatting
I can't seem to get a working recovery after flashing stock images with and without TWRP 2.8.7.1.
I followed these steps to upgrade to Android 6.0 after verifying the md5 checksum of my download:
adb reboot bootloader fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead....img [it looks the same as before, but I did it anyway] reboot bootloader fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead....img reboot bootloader fastboot flash boot boot.img fastboot flash recovery recovery.img fastboot flash system system.img
I have also tried with and without flashing cache
fastboot reboot
Then I go back into the bootloader and try to access recovery, but I only get the dead android with the red triangle.
I'm having the same problem with my Nexus 7 (2013).
Let say that i am downloading many photos from internet like wallpapers and stuff but that is not showing in Photos app of lollipop in nexus 5?? and after taking picture from my camera it get backed up on my gmail account, but then after when i dont get internet then my phone do not open that photo and keep showing loading circle, but when i do have internet i can see that pic again. and i dont want that kind of trouble.
I'm now getting repeated notifications on my Nexus 5 (Android 5.0.1) about how Google+ (version 4.8.0.81189390) has backed up my photos. The same photos. Over and over and over again. It didn't do this in previous versions. I don't know if this is a Nexus problem, a Lollipop problem, or a Google+ app problem. But, how I get it to stop?
When I click a phone number from the gmail App, a pop up occurs asking me to select a dialer. I pick a dialer and select always. Next time when I again click on a phone number in gmail App it shows the popup with different dialer options again. For some reason it's not saving the application defaults.
When I'm on the browser on my bold 9700, images that should be high quailty are actually poor even if I save them they only improve slightly, I know that in the setting of the os 5 you could change the image quality but I can't find a setting to change it on os 6
If I import my own HD quality backgrounds in to the gallery and set them as a wallpaper you can a degrade in the quality of the image especially if you gradients are being used as it looks like water has on a paining and the colour has run
I think with the latest Google+ Update, it modified the Photos app. Now my only option is to display all photos grouped together whereas before, you could sort by Camera photos, and then look into your different folders. I don't find this useful at all, and really don't want to go back to using the Gallery app.
I have followed the threads showing the various ways to get the driver correct, but this time, my issue is slightly different. The driver shows as Nexus 5. I have uninstalled and let it reinstall. I have checked to be sure the USB debugging is unchecked. When I try the step of Settings-> Storage -> click on the three dots, I only get "Help & Feedback". Both my Nexus 5 and my Windows updated yesterday. Also, I get an error 10 message when I try to reinstall the MTP USP device and the driver remains "Nexus 5".
My Nexus 5 will just shutdown when i am taking photos. Esp when the photo is taken in an environment when more processing is needed like low light area. The phone will just switch off. Pressing the power button would not work at all. The only thing that can revive it is a power surge i.e. plugged in a power source. The phone will revive and the picture is not taken at all.
I had to replace my Nexus 6. I have backed up "all" of my photos. Hoping that they really are "all" saved. I now have my new device and I am wanting to save my photos to it. But I want to do so in an organized manner. Such as putting all the kids pics in the kids folder type thing. Right now, they are all jumbled up because last time I had to do it through Bluetooth. I read through some forums and saw that you can do that by going to the highlights section...but that only goes so far back [in time] and doesn't have all my photos in it. Not sure how to do it, and I don't want to lose any of my photos, like other people have been by using google to store pics. I want the memory card slots back!
I back my photos up using the Google photos app on my nexus 5, in fact I've disabled the gallery app and use the Google photos app to view all my photos. When my phone is on the WiFi and charging it backs up all my photos except one!! it always says "backing up... 1 left" but there is no photo awaiting backup.
I got a new Nexus 5, major upgrade from the iPhone 4 I was temporarily using after my Nexus 4 broke.
Well I took a ton of photos at a animi convention with the iPhone 4 a month ago. When I got the Nexus 5 I went to to ATT to transfer all the photos and texts.
I would like to manually auto awesome all the photos I took at the conversation. But when I go to do that all the photos taken with the iPhone 4.
Is there something I need to do to auto awesome these?
I know nothing about phones or the internet. I'm trying to post photos to a forum on an internet social site through photobucket. I have photos uploaded but when I copy the link and try to paste it, it only pastes one word or symbol from the link. I can't figure out how to get the entire link to copy and paste.
i updated the photos app in my nexus 5. now i am not able to open it. when i try "unfortunately photos stopped' message comes. i tried clearing cache. Even then it is not opening.
I have Photos version 1.1.0.96252895 on my Nexus 5. I have less than 1% free space, because it has decided to copy over all the photos in my Google+ account (50,000+). I don't want my phone to have copies of the photos on my Google+ account - just the photos that I have taken with the phone.
