N95 + ATT Browser Image Issues
Russ and I spent a bit of time poking around today with the Mowser images on the Nokia Open Source browser on the N95. For some reason I was getting these really crappy looking images when I loaded the site, just absolute junk. I’m on ATT in the US, so we tried from some other ATT phones and they worked out fine. I had seem some similar issues before when I was fooling around with HSDPA and EV-DO connections for my lappy, so to remove the network from the equation I connected my N95 over wifi and reloaded. Bing! Crystal clear images.
After a bit of searching I found a post about the proxy being used for images by ATT in the US causing problems for N95 and E90 devices. I tried duplicating the AP, removing the proxy info, changing the connection, and reloading. No better image quality however. The post says you need to reboot in order to make the change work. In retrospect all I probably needed to do was shut down the browser, but I rebooted anyway. Sure enough, crystal clear images! I’m really surprised the devices are getting configured that way on a fast network like the N95 uses on ATT. Thanks Zach! Now, certainly would be nice if devices were unfucked by default once you get them configured on ATT. Wouldn’t that be nice?
