Using Camera Zoom FX fixed my old pixelated low light pictures?

[Who?]

I'm quite confused. I took a bunch of low light pictures at a few concerts this past week with my GN. Around the edges, and anywhere the camera could not make out enough light (like the people in the crowd standing in front of me) the pictures were quite pixelated with gray pixels. So I was going to return the phone, since my TBolt takes better pictures.

But this morning I opened up and used Camera Zoom FX for the first time on my Nexus (I had installed it prior to taking the pictures but never opened it). Now, looking in the gallery, the old, pixelated pictures do not look pixelated. The dark areas around the edges seem to be almost entirely black.

Has anyone experienced the same thing? Should I be attributing this to Camera Zoom FX, to restarting my phone, something else? Now I don't know whether to return the phone or not.

No idea but keep taking pictures see if you can reproduce the issue.

I did notice tonight the pixelation and it sucks. But adjusting the shadowing eliminates a lot of it, so perhaps fx has good filters. I might check it out if that's the case. it's odd that it would do it automatically however.

Can't do any more tests on this; I returned it. Wife wanted an iPhone 4s instead and I didn't want to risk the camera. If a software fix for the camera is ever released, I'll pick up a GNex immediately. As of now, though, I plan to slog through with my Thunderbolt and get the next Nexus.
