I borrowed this from an incredible thread bcuz it is EXACTLY what is happening with my EVO

Pictures in gallery don't focus to their maximum clearness
So with my awesome 8 mega pixel camera I like to take some pictures, and then show them off (obviously using the gallery). But I noticed they turn out good, but if you zoom in a little, like pinch to zoom, then zoom out to the normal size (when the picture originally appears) it gets crisper and soooo much clearer. It's unbelievable. Try it, You'll see what I'm talking about. It's only with pictures the phone takes.

I have tried pulling up a picture and waiting for it to auto focus (like it would load or something), but nothing happens...No matter what I do or how long I wait....

So does anyone know why this is? I have to pinch and zoom in, then zoom out to the normal size to get the best quality of the photo when viewing it in the gallery and this is getting old.. Anyone have a solution to this?! Thanks again!
 
Still no solution, it's been bugging me quite a bit lately. If you zoom in a tad you get a wonderfully crisp image. But if you don't ... garbage.
C'mon HTC.

EDIT: Actually for now, the solution is to use an alternative gallery app. I'm giving multi-touch gallery a whirl.

Available in the market, I assume? Let me know how you like it. I may go ahead and give it a try.

Features are okay, and it does show clear pictures, but I'm gonna uninstall it. It started a service, which no gallery should ever need to do.

I noticed the same thing. I meant to come back here and post, but I forgot to. I uninstalled it within the first 1 minute of using it. It was a bit slow to load and I all of a sudden had an advertisement that popped up as a running service in the drop down menu. Unacceptable.
