I dropped my iphone and now when I go view the pictures on the camera roll they look blurry. They all seem fine when I first click on the camera roll but when I click on a picture that I want to view and make larger it looks blurry. My old pictures look fine but the pictures that I took the day of the drop and after the drop look blurry unless I click the edit button then they look normal. Any ideas what this could be?
iPhone 4, iOS 5
I have an iPhone 4 running on iOS 5 and I noticed the same thing start happening today. But I didn't drop my phone and only some of my photos are blurry. It goes back to a random day before I even downloaded iOS 5, please let me know if you figure out what this could be! It's annoying!
Same thing here. iPhone 4 updated to iOS 5. I can take a picture and look at it and it is clear as day. When I close out of the camera app and then go back to the camera roll and try and view the picture they are all blurry, its like the thumbnail image displays but the real picture never clears up. I to can also go back to pictures taken before iOS 5 and they are all clear. I can check the same picture in my photo stream in iPhoto and they are clear there, so I know I am not just taking blurry photos. Agreed it is very annoying. If anyone has a fix please share.
Okay, so, i don't know what the problem is or anything but I restored my phone to its original settings and now my pictures are fine. It doesn't work of you're store it to a back up, though. At least it didn't work for me I tried to do that twice but my pictures were still blurry. So, basically you'll lose all you pictures unless you save them somewhere else. But that's the only solution that I've come up with.
I have done a little more digging and found this. It seems to have worked for others. I am trying it now and will let you know if it works for me. Thanks

The link above worked for me!
I have paste the info from the other link below.
this will fix it
1.) connect your iphone using the usb cable
2.) launch iphone explorer
3.) backup and then delete the following files (backup instructions):
/Media/DCIM/.MISC/Info.plist
/Media/PhotoData/MISC/DCIM_APPLE.plist
/Media/PhotoData/Photos.sqlite (or /PhotoData/Photos.sqlite)
/Media/PhotoData/PhotosAux.sqlite (or /PhotoData/PhotosAux.sqlite)
4.) reboot your iphone
note: if you don’t have the file PhotosAux.sqlite, that’s not a
problem. It is a database of the location of where photos were taken
which is extracted from the EXIF data of the pictures. i would guess
that it is uses by the Places feature in the camera roll.
if your phone is jailbroken and you are in ‘root’ view in iphone explorer, these instructions & file locations should work:
1.) connect your iphone using the usb cable
2.) launch iphone explorer
3.) backup and then delete the following files:
/private/var/mobile/Media/PhotoData/.MISC/Info.plist
/private/var/mobile/Media/PhotoData/MISC/DCIM_APPLE.plist
/private/var/mobile/Media/PhotoData/Photos.sqlite
/private/var/mobile/Media/PhotoData/PhotosAux.sqlite
4.) reboot your iphone
Photos on camera roll are blurry.
