saved photos appear blurred/out of focus

Does this happen with other photos in email? What was the source of the photo? Another phone, computer, etc.

I am also having this problem. Images sent to my iPhone from a computer are downloaded into the camera roll, but are super blurry, even though I can zoom into them in the email itself. File size was about 3MB. Sometimes it doesn't even transfer at all, BUT the preview image turns into the image I tried saving off the email... Even though the photo is not actually in the album at all....

In fact, if I zoom into the photo in the email app all the way, it crashes and I am sent back to the home screen. I guess maybe the photo file is too large? But this does not explain the terribly blurry image when the save actually works.

How was this solved?

I just noticed this problem today. Photos emailed from one 3G iphone to another (both with latest software/hardware update) are blurry when image is saved. When photo is sent from phone to computer, then saved in Photoshop, then emailed to phone they look fine and not blurry when saved.

The first reply to your email says it was solved. Do you know the solution?

I have exactly the same problem as all of you. I though it may have been due to a large photo size, so I resent the same photo at a much smaller size and it is still blurry.

For me, the problem occurs when I receive an email with a photo in it. I click save image in the email and the saved image is saved blurry.

It seems to me that any photos attached in mail on the iphone are compressed embedded images, rather than attachments. I agree that this seems to be a new feature with 2.2.

Is there anwhere we can change the setting back so a full res pic is attached?

I sent the same image from my pc to my iphone via email. In three different resolutions. From 640x480 to the full size 4mb photo. Each time when viewed in the email app on the iphone they were crystal clear. I saved each image to the camera roll and viewed them from there and each time they were blurry. I then emailed the images from my camera roll back to my PC and they were crystal clear and in thier respective sizes when I recieved them on my pc.

Conclusion: There is a flaw in the OS

All the data is there. The iphone just refuses to display any saved images at a resolution worth looking at. Ummm, hey Apple, this doesn't "just work".

This was done on my iphone 3G running version 2.2 (5G77)

I'm still running 2.1 and I am having the same problem.

Yes. My example is a photo taken on a 3G then emailed to me on my first generation iPhone... I click to Save Image... then when I view it in the Camera Roll it's just a blurry mess. I also (ridiculous I know) zoomed in on the image to enlarge it visually, then saved, and still get the same blurry result. 😟

Same thing happening here since the update. All used to be ok. Recently I've only had email pics from someone using an original iPhone so I thought it was something to do with that but after sending myself one I found the same thing happened. It's a bug, for sure, but no one from Apple has ever listened to anything in these forums. You've have to bombard them with emails, so go go go...!

same thing is happening here... just noticed it today on photos sent to my 3G iPhone from another one... happening, too, on old photos that used to look great!

i have also had this problem recently never used too.

but! ... i was messing around with my phone today and i found a new way to take a photo like a print screen, by holding down the lock button and home button down for about 2 sec and then letting go. it will get the grey internet trimmings around it but the time and date and slide to unlock section will cut them out, if u used them for a wallpaper. Also extremely useful if you wanted a picture of some writing from the internet

I am experiencing same problem. since the 2.2 upgrade, any photos taken by an iphone and emailed to me; when saved to the camera roll, the thumbnails look great but when viewing the full image, it's all blurry. I have taken pics and sent to another iphone and same thing happens....HELP!!!!

this happens only with pics taken by any iphone. all other images are good to go. tested ones from blackberry storm. tested ones from canon camera. all were good except iphone pics.
