Hello All
Firstly just want to say an excellent site this is and has been a weath of information regarding unbranding and updates.
I have found today that when viewing pictures online the quality is very grainy and when you load a picture is goes straight into 100% rather than the normal 25% and allowing you to zoom.
I have an N95 Classic on T-mobile and recently carried out version 21 upgrade. Any help or advice would be grately appreciated. 😊
are you in the USA or UK? it sounds exactly like you are browsing thru the carrier's proxy. i get these same results here in the USA when i use ATT proxy. remove those settings, and the pic quality is desktop-like. that is probably your problem.
This problem is also present in the UK. Using service provider's access point automaticaly degrades the quality of images, videos and etc. Bandwidth varies from service provider to service provider hence the quality of the data also can vary. I suggest you contact your phone network or just use WLAN access point.
I am having the same problem on wan, when i see a video seems very slow and at home ave 12mpg connection
Yup Orange are up to this too, If I use my computer as a USB for my laptop it totally ruins the use of sites like Ovi and Flickr
cant you guys remove the carrier proxy setting to fix this? on ATT i just delete the 2 settings server and port, and this does not go thru the proxy and the pics look perfect. its in settings then advanced settings for that AP.
Hi Guys thanks for your replys... I am based in the UK and with T-Mobile on their Web & Walk service.
Thanks
Rob
I spoke with T-mobile (UK) and they suggested to try my sim card in an alternative phone to check quality of pictures. Tried it in an N73 on same network which worked fine.
They suggested downloading the internet configurations from their T-Mobile website support. Did that but quality till poor compared to a view days ago.
I did the N95 Firmware 21.0.016 Update about a week ago and this problem has only started a few days ago. I'm a bit stuck now as to what to do next.
Help anyone???
Thanks
I tuned off my images as my bill at the end of the month was huge :frown:
Same here Cyclone. It was costing way too much because of all the images.

i'm serious, you have to remove the proxy settings i think. on my carrier the pics were grayish and poor quality using the cell network. so edit the AP for tmobile, and delete the 2 proxy settings and it might fix it.
The new internet configuation which I got sent from T-mobile UK shows no proxy settings and when you click on the thumb nails the picture quality is still poor...
Can I revert to version 20 now I have done the upgrade?

No. The proxy is builtin into the network's infrastructure so your HTTP data HAS to go through it. At least that's the way T-Mobile and Orange have implemented it.
With Orange, the first time you load images the quality is bad, but if you manually force a reload (Options -> Navigation options -> Reload) once the page has loaded for the first time, the proxy will give you the original untampered images.
oh i see. on my n95, if i go into the settings app, then find the access point, i click the left softkey which gives advanced options, then i delete the proxy and leave them blank. full quality pics. damn the carriers!
I had the same problem on O2 (UK). The solution was to change the username in the 02 MobileWeb accesspoint from "o2web" to "bypass".
Maybe a similar solution exists on other networks?
yup - t-mobile compress images downloaded by any of their connections. Not sure if they do this on their HSDPA connections or mobile broadband pacakges but definitely on web'n'walk packages. One way to test is hook your pc / laptop up to your mobile and download the same image, once via gprs / 3g and again with your standard net connection. If you then MD5 the two files you'll find they're totally different.
It's understandable why they do it, saves a lot of bandwidth for them, saves money for you and doesn't make a lot of difference on a low resolution screen anyway.
