[Discussion] notice poor picture quality sending Android UI screenshots in some apps - HTC U11 Guides, News, & Discussion

My phone is HTC U11 and right now I'm on ViperU 2.3 ROM (Oreo). Found weird jagged stroke on UI screenshots send by apps, I wonder if anyone with same or different phone has seen or noticed. To be clear when the UI is at first captured, the image quality is good.

But if I send them in certains apps (Telegram etc. but not limited to Telegram) the downgraded picture looks ugly at the edge of lines and strokes, jagged. You can even see that line of dots disappears due to the same reason.......
I have compared with my friend's image (I let him send me the same shot) in the app, but that looks fine despite the blurred quality, even though we are on the same phone and the same ROM.
Now when sending shots in some apps that I'm actually concerning image quality this is frustrating since most apps downgrade image and that jagged edge is destroying the image......
Dose that have something to do with Android thumbnailing algorithm which in the saying for years is way worse than what iOS applies? Wish some one has some talk over this...

[Need help]ATOM Camera screen ellapses with background but still partially functional

A little info of the current status:
Device XDA Atom
ROM: pdaviet WM6.1 newest build 20961
Just installed the TCPMP, Flashvideobundle and Vtap for the youtube viewing (if those may interfere the structure of the camera). Then this problem comes up as seen in the embedded photo below no matter how many times I hard and soft reset the phone.
*The current screen stays at the background while the camera function takes place. I can still press the button to take picture under this frozen screen, yet the images may sometimes contain errors. As for the video, I can only capture voice but not the motion. *
The camera compatibility certainly gets me frustrated as every time I install something new, the camera happens to encounter problems. Not to mention it used to be flickering before... I really don't know the reasons why.
Would really appreciate if anyone can help resolve this mystery.

Camera quality

Thought I'd have a look at the quuality of the camera, compared to the Desire. Discovered that I have a problem with focus on the left side of the picture, and wondered whether anyone else has it.
3 photos, reduced using the same method. Canon (for reference), DHD and Desire:

Regular Desire:
Now, we can look at 1:1 crops to examine the quality:
You can see that stuff on the left is out of focus - this shot shows it well:
Finally, my phone is an early one with bad camera and sim cover alignment. Not sure if it matters, but here are close ups anyway. Anyone else with a left hand focus issue?
I can definitely see your point, I will test this on my DHD tomorrow.
i can just about see it, but honestly i would worry more about the over sharpening and terrible white balance on this phone. testing it earlier it gave my girlfriend the skin tone of a Simpson...
just took a shot outside, havnt changed any settings
I've just taken delivery of a DHD and have exactly the same left side focus problem. How did you resolve this - or you returned / replaced your unit?
weird. mine seems to be fine.

Graphic artifacts randomly appearing

I know the Vega is supposed to be cheap and the screen not the best but for what it is I really like it. However, I've noticed quite a few times now when I'll be doing something or when I pick certain things that I get lots of graphic artifacts on the screen in the form of long lines. It goes away as soon as I leave whatever made it happen and it is repeatable in some cases such as loading a profile image on TweetDeck.
I've got a badly shot blurry photo of the artifacts on the screen but it's clear enough to show what I'm referring to. If anyone has any information on this or, I hope not, think that this may be a problem that will get worse in time please let me know! I've intentionally left this as a full view of the screen to lower blurryvision, it's the lines all over the lower half or left half if held in landscape but this is pretty random and can be anywhere on the screen.

It is a known issue in the 1.08 version at least, and in the 1.09. They're bothersome, but I have never read that these artifacts can create any long-term problems on the device. There's no reason to panic AFAIK.

picture on my phone
is it the phone?..if not can it be fixed?
If the phone's screen was bad, then the screenshot wouldn't look as bad. That's because the screenshot app doesn't take a pic of what's on it screen. It's taken from the rendering coming out of the GPU.
So don't worry, there's nothing wrong with your screen. Its probably the ROM.... or maybe someone somehow screwed up your GPU .

Click to expand...

Seems to be a problem with the gallery app. I have/had the same problem. I wanted to have a specific picture as my wallpaper and the endquality looked horrible like in your screenshot. I read somewhere while googling, that the gallery app downscales the pictures in some way (correct me if im wrong).
If you want to make that picture as a wallpaper and want to keep the quality i can recommend the app "Crop Wallpaper". It lets you crop your pictures while keeping it's original quality and sets it as your wallpaper.

New S3 loose rattling volume button

As the title says. Mostly annoying as it rattles when tapping on the screen. Here's a video, you might need to turn up your volume to hear.

It also has a green tint in the top left corner most visible using the browser. To top it off also a loose top back cover. I've heard Samsung's quality control sucks but so many issues in one device. It's made in Vietnam by the way.

Maybe you just got a device that got hit by something. I don't have this on my device. It feels very sturdy and all buttons feel smooth.
Just go back to the store and tell them. No need to break down Samsung's quality department because of this. Every product has a few bad experiences...
Bought it online locally so the video was for them to see and exchange. Just thought i'd share since I'd already recorded.
Photos of the green tint they couldn't see.They claim it's not there based on these photos.

Here's another photo with just a white background i'll try.
I just wonder how such a broken device passes through quality control.
My SAM 3 is also from Vietnam....bought recent and its blue....let me test it first.
