Image quality of Lumia 930 dropped after Denim upd...

Oversharpened images and unnatural colours.
Please see the attached images for comparison.

It's hard to say from your samples at their reduced resolution, the visible differences could just the different light conditions at the time those two pics were taken. Personally, on the evidence presented I prefer the Denim pic.

  • Rotated photos problem on Lumia 930, 1520 with Denim update

    There is an issue with photos taken on Lumia 930, 1520 with Denim update: camera uses EXIF rotation property instead of properly rotating the picture. As a result, apps which don't properly support EXIF.Rotation show photos rotated.
    To reproduce, take the photo in vertical orientation on Lumia 930 with Denim update. Open Instagram official app (as an example), try adding new photo ->> you'll see that the photo is 90 degrees rotated.
    Now question: is it a feature or is it a bug?
    And if it is a feature, where is it documented?

    Thanks for reply.
    Well, I am a developer writing my own app.  And what I see is a sudden change in phone camera behavior, which affects and annoys lots and lots of users of my app (VK for WP), Telegram messenger app, and Instagram app, which I used as an example, because
    it is well known.
    It does seem like a feature to me now, so would't it make sense to have some native support for it? For example, make BitmapImage pay attention to EXIF and correctly rotate? 
    And again: is this change documented anywhere? 
    And please, bring my question where it was originally posted.

  • Lumia 930 restarts after failed video upload to FB

    I'm on vacation and the net is slow here 1,5 Mbit/94 Kbit ADSL. My phone fails to upload to Facebook hrough the share menu of the video viewer of Nokia Camera. Worse than that, after the FB app signals back that it failed to upload, the phone restarts.
    Any solution? It is slow connection but otherwise reliable. Transferring the video to the PC, and then upload through the FB website slow but flawlessly works.

    Hello. Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions. Have you tried rebooting your phone by pressing and holding the power+volume down keys simultaneously for 10-15 seconds and it will reboot automatically? You may also try connecting to a Wi-Fi connection.
    Keep us posted. 

  • Nokia Lumia 930 Defects or Firmware Issues

    I recently upgraded to a Nokia Lumia 930, I had a 920 for ages and loved it. However, I had to replace my first 930 within two days as there was a hardware issue with one of the back buttons not working (when the phone heated up the back button would start pressing itself and get stuck sometimes).
    I've had the new Lumia 930 (the replaced one) for two months now and the following problems have come to my attention:
    Double tap to wake goes through phases where it just does not work. I've tried pressing down on the top right corner to see if it rectifies the problem but it does not (not sure how double tap to wake uses the proximity sensor, is this not dependant on the display). I do however have seen that double tap to wake stops working after charging the phone (I'm able to reproduce the behaviour repeatedly)? It will after a few hours of work just magically return to normal?
    Proximity sensor goes through stages where it does not work either. I can't for certain say this happens after every charge but maybe it's just a coincidence that this happened after my last charge.
    Some notification sounds do not sound at all, it seems to only happen when the display is turned off (or when the device is in standby?). Notifications including sounds such as locking and unlocking the phone aren't always played.
    The screen does not turn on sometimes when and if a notification comes through (they do not always sound as in point 3 above).
    Hey Cortana performance is terrible, it just doesn't work if the phone is not unlocked.
    Gestures Beta has never worked on my Lumia 930, albeit a beta, I never have had any problems with it on my Lumia 920.
    Things I consider to be the culprit:
    There are so many issues with my device while it is in standby, that it seems to me that it might be a firmware problem? I can't image how being in low power mode would affect the device sensors (unless there is some kind of voltage drop in standby and the device's sensors are unable to function). Unsure why it seems to be fine when the device is unlocked.
    I can't explain what charging does to double tap to wake, but the fact that this happens after every charge leads me to believe there is something here.
    Things I have tried:
    Pressing right hand corner of screen for double tap to wake. Did not help (also saw somebody going on about the phone bending in another post, my device is in a hard cover and the 930 has Gorilla glass 3, not sure it will bend at all).
    Hard reset and reload firmware. Did not help (Currently running Denim).
    Anyone experiencing the same problems and any solutions? I came here after being directed by Microsoft Mobile's facebook page. They don't seems to think posting my problems on facebook is a good idea. Honestly, this is my second Lumia 930 and after reading up on all the issues with the double tap to wake have a came to one conclusion: The build quality of this device is terrible.
    Thank you for your time.
    Jaco

    Here's an update.
    In frustration I tried pressing harder in the right hand corner, and if course that solves the issues (Lovely design flaw this). Although only temporarily and I still don't know how the charging is capable of affecting this at all.
    My suggestion to Microsoft would be to allow in the next firmware update to allow users to disable this sensor. It seems that this sensor (or the light sensor next to it, who knows) is used to determine if the device is allowed to "Unlock" using double tap to wake. If this is the case, the device will simply ignore it when you tap on the screen (at the cost of somehow waking up in your pocket, a small price to pay)?
    Anyhow, anyone's take on this?

  • Lumia Camera/4K not working after Denim Update

    Hi, Received the Lumia denim update this morning but after installation, the Lumia Camera app is not open (displaying a megbox that says "Lumia camera requires Lumia denim software update") and the extra+info still shows "cyan". The rest of denim update features are working fine...
    Any solutions?
    Solved!

    Received theLumia denim update this morning…
    You got the OS update to ‘Windows Phone 8.1 Update’ which was released in September 2014. You have not received the firmware update ‘Lumia Denim’, yet. Even if Extras+Info shows different – it is wrong for many users right now – you do not have ‘Lumia Denim’ yet. Furthermore, even if several new features work, those features required just the OS update, not the firmware update. Lumia Camera 5 requires the firmware update which is not yet available for your firmware variant (059W1L3). When you have ‘Lumia Denim’ the firmware revision number starts with 02540.xxx for a Lumia 930 and Lumia 1520.
    When is Lumia Denim available for 059W1L3?
    Nokia releases the firmware files in batches, and does not tell us users when. Could be hours, could be months.
    What is a Product Code?
    Every model, type, color, and even each region, country, and operator does get its own Product Code, ending-up in thousands of firmware files.
    What was the designation 059W1L3?
    Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Lybia, Palestine, Pakistan.
    Do I get updates always last?
    Not in general, because sometimes countries like the UK are first, sometimes UK is last. Again, Nokia does not tell.
    Did that help?

  • Sudden Overlay Shift and Drop in Image Quality

    I’ve been authoring DVDs for two years now, and operating out of my current authoring lab for 4 months. All of a sudden, with this one project, I’m having a frustrating menu problem.
    The symptoms of the problem are:
    1. Overlays no longer match up, they’re WAY off, by about %10 of screen size
    2. Big drop in image quality of menus, text looks like garbage.
    Here’s my workflow for the menus:
    1. Create .mov files in After Effects, comp settings D1 720x486, render at lossless
    2. Pull into FCP to create audio, render in FCP as 10 Bit Uncompressed, export using compressor at MPEG-2 (DVD Best 90 minutes)
    3. Create overlay files in AE, render frames as PSD files
    I’ve tried a lot of variations on this tonight, such as exporting .tiff’s from FCP and building the overlay in Photoshop, or using Compressor to encode the .mov’s from AE independent of FCP. The two symptoms are always there. When I pull the raw .mov from AE into DVD Studio Pro, the quality is a little better but the overlays are still off.
    Please Help!
    <Edited by Moderator>

    I Feel your pain guys! The problem is, you are creating the comp in AE with the incorrect Size. I experienced the same problem for months and actually went back and forth between DVDSP and Photoshop until the overlays fit. After extreme headaches I decided to try something different.
    Here's my process;
    1. start by creating the comp in AE at NTSC D1 Square Pixels (720 X540)
    2. complete the animation
    3. then on rendering go to the output module and click stretch
    4. Select NTSC DV (720 X 480). This will put it down to what you need it to be in DVDSP
    5. Then create your overlays at the 720 X 486
    6. Import and build your DVD as usual and it should work out
    Somehow this seems to trick DVDSP into putting things where they are supposed to be. It may seem dumb and archaic, but it beats going back and forth! I hope it works for you!

  • Poor image quality using iMovie 8 or iDVD after importing DV file via FW

    Hello,
    i am a complete newby and asking for help. I have bought a Panasonic NV-GS320EG-S miniDV Camcorder. First i connected it via S-Video to my Pioneer Plasma which worked fine.
    I have connected the camcorder via Firewire to my iMac 20/2,4 GHz, camcorder will launch import window, streaming works but in iMovie the image quality is already rather poor. I can cut files and all but after using Import film and burning it with latest Toast, picture quality is even worse, that means colors are natural but no sharpness, lots of shivering lines as soon as the angle is moving.
    I've tried to import directly into iDVD with the direct transfer function for Firewire which works technically as well but the result is mainly the same, when i burn the DVD the picture quality gets far worse than via S-Video connection.
    Last thing i tried is importing to iMovie, importing for media browser and reopening file in iDVD which burns the DVD later, all that works technically fine, but the image result remains absolutely poor, my wife meant inacceptable...
    Any ideas what that could be??? I've always imported and exported the film with the largest picture mode possible...

    I am using the Panasonic HDC-SD5 camcorder which records in AVCHD.
    I also have a JVC miniDV camcorder.
    The following is available in iMovie 08 help:If the larger sizes are not available, the original project media isn’t large enough to render in that size. The largest media size used in the project determines the final movie sizes you can render.
    Tiny: Always 176 by 144 pixels.
    Mobile: Always 480 by 272 pixels.
    Medium: Varies in size from 640 by 480 pixels (standard aspect ratio) to 640 by 360 pixels (widescreen), depending on the size of the media in your project.
    Large: Always 960 by 540 pixels (widescreen). No large size is rendered if your original video isn’t high definition (HD).

    That is nothing special or wrong. That is a normal country variant. You have to wait.

    MS acquiring Nokia's D&S [removes] the go between
    Microsoft Mobile has to create the firmware which is the go-between your phone and the OS. This is not going to change in future either. ‘Therefore’, some models lack behind others – Microsoft Mobile could fix this with more man power. Furthermore, Microsoft Mobile releases the firmware files in batches. ‘Therefore’, some variants lack behind others – because I am an end-user like you, and because I have not read a reason for this batching, I do not know how to solve that. Anyway, there is no need to bully your phone, it won’t get faster. Your phone notifies you automatically, when the update is available for your model, type, and variant (which is codified via the Product Code).

  • Show image quality as like original image after resize in as3.

    Hi Guys,
    I am working on a Action Script3 project and i am showing images after resizing. I am using Bitmap and BitmapData manipulation for this but not getting image quality as like original image.  Please guide and help me with code that how can i do this.
    Thanks & regards
    Rangrajan

    How are you resizing? Normally, you would draw the original bitmap data into the new bitmap data, using a matrix to resize. To smooth scale, you need to use the smoothing option of the draw method. Here's a little sample that takes a library image and scales it to 500x500, using smoothing:
    var orig:BitmapData = new baseMap(); //library image
    var res:BitmapData = new BitmapData(500,500);
    var m:Matrix = new Matrix();
    m.scale(res.width / orig.width, res.height / orig.height);
    res.draw(orig, m, null, null, null, true);
    var c:Bitmap = new Bitmap(res);
    addChild(c);
    toggle the true to false in the draw, to see the difference...

  • Image quality after opening from camera RAW

    Why does the image quality seem to get worse in Elements 11 once the image is opened up after editing from Camera RAW?  The image looks great in the RAW screen, then once opened in Photo editor it seems pixelated, smooth lines look jagged.  Is it something I am doing wrong?

    Try viewing at 25%, 50% or 75%

  • Hi all, my first time on.  I shared my imovie project to Media Browser.  Fine.  Then after it downloaded it 'disappeared.'  Where did it go?  Having found it, how do I then share it with idvd?  I am told the image quality will be much better this route.

    • Close iMovie
    • Open iDVD and select to start a New iDVD Project

  • Lumia 930 awful quality of display

    Greetings,
    I bought Lumia 930 in Telenor(Serbia) few days ago to notice second day that I got awful "piece" of display. I don't know I had phone with IPS display last two years and I'm not familiar with AMOLED, maybe this is usual for AMOLED displays but I doubt it. So problem, actually problems are:
    - backlight is not strong enough(compared it with few 930)
    - backlight is not equal in all areas, you can see washed out stripes and stains on solid colors(obvious in dark environment)
    - backlight breaks out in huge area with high brightness set(more obvious in dark)
    - screen is blinking with high frequancy in horizontal stripes(happens occasionally, think it happens when IE is on)
    - and of course purple tint on low light set, but it can't be fixed
    I will take my 930 on warranty for sure, just wish to check is this something usual for AMOLED displays? And how this passed quality assurance?
    Thanks,
    Vladimir

    Pretty sad yes as Nokia and MS needs as little trouble as possible to get back on top which seems like they never will right now. Moving too slow and with a flagship having quite a bit of trouble.
    Hopefully your care point will help you out without trouble. Good luck
