Flashed to Alltel, bad picture quality?

    I flashed my Verizon V3m to Alltel's firmware a couple months ago, and my camera's picture quality is much worse than it was before the flash. I just kind of lived with it up until now, cause I figured it was worth taking worse pictures to be able to do use bluetooth more. But now I'm kind of tired of it.

    Has anyone else had this problem? If so, have you been able to fix it, or is this just how Alltel's firmware is with pictures?

    Thanks.

    Did u go into Options->Camera Setup->Resolution->High(1.3Mp)

    When flashing, I think it defaults to Medium (640x480).

    Lastly, at what point are u determining they arent decent quality? When viewing after taking it? Or once u upload to the comp and then view? For a while, I was upset (even with it at highest quality setting), but then I transferred the pics to the comp, and they look actually quite amazing considering it is just a phone.

    Yeah I am amazed by what the pics look like on the computer too. Not bad for a phone at all.

    It's set to 3.1Mp. I noticed the bad quality when I set a picture as my wallpaper. I just sent a picture to my computer so I could look at it, and it doesn't look that bad now, but still looked terribly pixelated when I set it as the wallpaper on my phone. That's weird.

    Pics I take and put on as wallpaper does that if I have the layout set as fit to screen. It's a lot better set as center, but than you have bands on the top and bottom. I hate that it does that but I don't know how to fix that.

    You can uplaod your pix to ur comp. They will be in pretty decent quality. Then open MPT, go into Image Studio and crop it to fit the screen. (it will actually save the file as 240x320. This will give u the full screen image, as well as pretty great quality. You will have to crop it, to make it fit screen, so that it the only downfall.

    I am attaching a pic I have on my phone (from halloween). It fits full screen and shows up with GREAT quality. I took the original image in IMage STudio, cropped it to fit the phone's screen, then transferred to phone. It automatically sized it to 240x320. Not sure why it didnt go to 176x220, but anyways, pretty much all my pics are this way.
