Pictures blurred after 2.2 upgrade

We Beat U · 12-01-2008, 12:03 PM

I updated my wife's V1 over the weekend to 2.2. After doing so, she noticed that if she saves any pictures that are emailed to her, they are blurred in the camera roll.

I checked her phone and sure enough she was right. Then I had her send me a picture via email and when I saved it from email, it was blurred on my phone (in the camera roll) just as well. I then sent myself an email with a picture attached and saved it. Just like before, when I view it from camera roll, it is all blurred. But, it looks fine in the email. I had already upgraded to 2.2 as well and so I'm wondering if this is a bug or is it just coincedence that the same issue is happening on two different phones in my house...neither of which are JB'en.

Anyone else noticed this on 2.2?

Do the pictures appear fine on a computer? Maybe for some reason the camera roll is resizing the photos as it adds them, but I'm not so sure that actually happens.

It's a bug in 2.2.... there are several other reports of it on the board. The picture is saved in full resolution (you can SSH into the phone to retrieve it at full rez), but what you see on the iPhone is a blown-up version of the thumbnail you see in the camera roll page.

Hopefully they'll fix it soon.

Great, thanks Psy!!

The pics do appear fine in on the computer. I hadn't seen anyone else mention this issue before.

This is happening to me too. =(

i find that if i view the image in my email and take a screenshot, then view that screen shot in the Photos app and "zoom crop" the screenshot to only show the picture, and take a screenshot of that it's actually better that the blown up thumbnail it saves. quite a lengthy workaround, but it works for me when i really need it. at least then you have a clear 320x480 picture.

*sigh*.
I have this annoying issue as well.

The weird thing is I've mentioned the bug in several threads now, yet I have yet to experience it myself?

Pictures look fine saved from web pages or email. I'm even jailbroken.

I think the email one was. I'll test again.

I haven't experienced this, either.
