Has anyone noticed that when viewing your pictures that you took with the moto x camera on your phone you can see the pixels filling in? I don't see this when viewing other pictures I have in my gallery taken with other devices.
Just noticed it only does it when using the stock "gallery" app. When I use the "pictures" app is does not happen.
I have noticed this on other phones running the stock Android gallery app as well. Pictures above a certain size load lazily.
On another note, QuickPic is the bomb. It will do this as well though.

Yes it does, I just tried it. !!
Do you mean that the photo is slightly blurry and then becomes sharper after a second or two? This is just to make the gallery faster. It loads the thumbnail as you swipe through the gallery quickly for speed, and only loads the full image (much clearer and sharper) after you've stopped on a photo for a second or two. If it loaded every photo in full size it would be very slow and you wouldn't be able to swipe as
It is perfectly normal.
I set my default application to view pictures as the google photos app. Is there a way to change this to gallery?

Settings / apps / google photo's app... there should be a "Launch by Defaults" at the bottom you can Clear defaults. Clear it, then you can select the app you want next time you open a picture.
Thank you!

I dont know this is just with me or with every note...........
When viewing thumbnails in the gallery, its background image changes to the last viewed picture that too very big and blurry. While seeing individual image, background is completely black but its not the case with the thumbnail view?
Same is the case while viewing video thumbnails, it has strange colour shading(or banding whatever) at the background
Can anyone confirm why is dis and others also have it?
am I only one facing this problem ?
in my experience, with various phones, this is the norm.
The 'Gallery' app is, in a word, terribad. It's laggy even with a dual 1.4GHz processor.
Check out Quickpic, brilliant free gallery app. It's the snappiest no nonsense picture viewer out there.

thank you so much.......
My pictures become pixelated when zoomed on Gallery.
They look sharp if I don't zoom at all, but as soon as I zoom (Even a little bit). I can see the pixelation.
The picture is a 300 dpi one with resolution of 1748 x 2480.
But, with no zoom at all, they look perfectly sharp.
Is this normal? because the same picture looks sharp in my desktop monitor even though I zoomed it?
thanks

Also, I find that I'm unable to share this picture with whatsapp, bbb, etc.
But I was able to share my other pictures.
So, I reduced the resolution to 875 x 1240, and now not only was I able to share this picture with my friends,
but when zooming this picture on Gallery (after the resolution has been reduced), it doesn't get pixelated!
Is this a bug on Note 3 ? So I can't send picture with high resolution ?
Nu such issue on Quickpic. Give that a try.
Whatsapp downscales images severely by default, by the way.

btw this only happens to pictures that I uploaded from my computer, that have hi resolutions.
This doesn't apply to hi res pictures taken from the Note 3 camera.
This is weird.
Thanks I'll try Quickpic, but it still doesn't solve the problem of not being able to share hi res pics in whatsapp/bbm.
I'll test.
4752x3168 300dpi 13,9MB taken with a DSLR: Sharing works. The image looks horribly downscaled in Whatsapp due to their automatic scaling, but it works fine.
I can't test the Stock Gallery, as it freezes upon opening by default. It has no 'exclude folders' option, and I have one folder that contains 8392 saved websites+files(in folders). As you can imagine, that tends to overload the app.

thanks for trying.
my picture is actually a 300 dpi 1748 x 2480 JPEG file, generated from a photoshop file (It's a promotional brochure).

update:
I changed the Photoshop file Mode to RGB (it was CMYK originally), then save the file to JPEG and transfer it to my Note 3.
Now there's no problem in zooming in and sharing the file.
So I guess CMYK is not really compatible in Note 3/mobile?
Hello, I found the stock gallery very unpleasant
for exemple when you want to delete a picture, it take you 2-3 taps
AOSP gallery is really faster, you delete pictures in a blink, and if you miss you can still go back clicking "cancel" button
Don't want to change camera, beacause the stock one is clearly the one with the best results (sharpness, noise, focus...)
So, any way to change the app launcher by touching the little vignette on the corner of the camera app ?
Not anymore. Used to be possible on the first firmwares the phone came with, but they deleted that functionality. It's not possible on the S5, either, so likely a KitKat thing.
You also can't select it in Whatsapp, Facebook and other such apps. Wish we could.... Stock gallery is a nightmare if you have more than 20 pictures. I have about 6000, when I want to select a picture to send in Whatsapp I have exactly 1.2 seconds to select it before the gallery crashes and takes Whatsapp/Facebook with it.
I do have to object to the statement about the camera. FV5, Procapture and Zoom FX take much higher quality pictures.

Will try these apps, thanks, but I'm suspicious, tried a bunch of camera app, the stock sammy app take fastest shoot, more sharp, autofocus faster...
Google camera take worse pictures than stock
That's a shame, gallery of the Google camera is freaking cool
Using a G900F on stock Touchwiz 5.0 G900FDXU1BOC2.
Certain image files (all of them PNGs) seem to fail to open properly in the Gallery app. When opening them directly from within the Gallery or from the stock file explorer, the images appear pixellated when zooming in, as though they are failing to render properly, or the viewer is zooming in on a thumbnail rather than on the image itself. When opening in the Gallery from a different app (such as Root Explorer), this results in a black screen and complete failure to view the image. These images open properly in alternative image viewers such as QuickPic, and when viewed in web browsers.
Most PNGs that I tried do not experience this issue, only certain ones.
This issue does not seem to be present on my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 running stock Touchwiz KitKat.
Tried wiping cache, wiping /data, even reflashing ROM, to no avail.
Attached in a zip file are two examples of images that fail to open correctly in the Gallery.
Does anybody else experience this issue, or is there something wrong with my device specifically?
Doesn't open on my S5 on Resurrection Remix 5.3.9!
Just the background color of the gallery APP.

Thanks! Is there anyone for whom it DOES open?
The two attached images open fine in gallery for me (G900F running BOC7)
The gallery app is likely just not powerful enough to render them well, the difference is similar zooming using Office Picture manager on a PC vs the stock Windows Photo viewer, photo viewer loses quality, OPM looks still looks great
Opens great with Google+ Images.

You're using the default gallery? Opening directly from the gallery app or from an external file explorer? It doesn't appear blurry and pixellated when zooming in, does it?
I doubt it's the power of the app in question, it has handled much larger images (like, >3MB 1080p PNG wallpapers generated by Tapet, or 16M photos taken with the camera) with no problems. I wondered if there's something at fault in the image properties somehow, but I can't think what it might be. All the images it's failed to handle so far have been black and white manga pages, and they've all been PNGs, but only some black and white PNG manga pages refuse to open, not all.
Also I've noticed that opening from the built-in My Files file explorer results in the same thing as opening from the Gallery itself, an image that pixellates on zooming. rather than the black screen which Root Explorer throws out.

Just confirming what @*Detection* said, BOC7 (BTU) Stock Gallery App and also checked via Stock file manager both work fine, zooming in also works fine no pixelating
We need BOC7 again. ?

Thanks. I first noticed the issue on BOA2, I'd actually hoped that flashing to BOC2 would fix it.
Any advice on what I could do to diagnose the problem? I'd like to avoid the hassle of doing full backups and flashing a custom ROM to see if it makes a difference.
So I think we all can agree that Google Photos is the best gallery app. Only problem is there's no way to disable it and even if we decide to just not use it.
The main issue is that it's linked directly to the camera app as in if I need to view a photo right after I take a snap.. The photo preview icon next to the shutter icon links directly to the Samsung Gallery app.
Is there any way to change this preferably without root !
