View Full Version : PIE "save picture as" saves very small pixilated picture

Hey all,

I've really been trying to find a solution to this and searched a lot. I think it has something to do with the USER AGENT thing, and changing the registry, but I can't get it to work.

So PIE loads all pictures on the phone, automatically squishing it or formatting it for the hermes screen resolution. That's fine, but when I save the image, it ONLY saves it at that small, pixilated crappy resolution. I can't zoom the picture.

I think this is somehow linked to the whole "can't post on myspace" thing, because I can't post on myspace either haha.

I'm using the Black 2.5 right now, but tried Custel's 1.2 and had the same issue. When I used Black 1.2 or 2.0 it was NOT an issue.

This happens whether or not I use PIE Plus.

I know where the information is on the WIKI showing the reg edit to change the user agent so the web thinks you're using a regular desktop browser, and PIE Plus has this option to change in it's options as well, but it's not doing it.

Is there some other registry key or whatever that i'm missing that tells the internet how to format its information?

Again, I searched and looked and tried and hacked and regged haha, but did not find a definitive answer to this. MUST POST TO MYSPACE ON MY PHONE!!!!

Thanks.

thanks. i don't like opera though. the scroll bar on the right doesn't work at all and i don't like the interface.

the only reason i'm persistent here is because it actually WORKED at one time with no problems! all i did was change the user agent in the reg and it worked after i set it to make the net think it was windows xp.

but on these latest roms, it doesn't work.

i know there has to be a solution here.

thanks though!

scroll bar doesn't work? which version were you using? Also have you tried minimo? Not a fan of it personally but might work for your needs?

minislo is too mo... I mean... yeah.

I bumped back down to black 2.0 and PIE is perfect! man I may have to stay here :(

there's gotta be a reason it works here and not higher...

sorry to up my own thread,

but with black 3.5 now, the myspace posting works, and gifs work...

but jpegs still display as formatted to the screen size, and when saving the images, they are much smaller in file size and resolution.

for example, a normally 111kb file is only 25k when saved.

there has to be a definitive answer to this!! and i can't be the only one trying to look at po... uh, pictures and they don't display well.

I've noticed this behavior when I have the Cingular proxy enabled. My understanding is the proxy compresses images in order to speed up load times. Once disabled, images appear, and can be saved, as they should be.

Perhaps you have a carrier proxy enabled?
