Hi Guys,
In some of the shops in the UK on some of the demo phones they show a smart life video or screensaver which looks really cool does anyone know where to get this vid or screen saver app could be a nice little feature to have.
any help surprised nobody would a video playing screen saver app think it would be cool
The video anyway:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaSRP4jGvVo
Its on your internal SD card in "Samsung" in some of the roms, But I can't rememeber which roms sorry. I normaly just delete the whole folder each time I find it Its a cool vid yes but I hate it coming up in gallery. I suppose I could keep it next time to show iphone users

Hi guys, I've been trawling the forum for ages trying to find something for poker players out there. Basically I use Skypoker and since the upgraded flash player I can now actually see the table and play with mobile internet view turned off but it still doesn't respond 100% when I press the screen to click on 'raise, check, fold etc'. Is there any way of getting this to work at all?
Also when viewing videos on sites I can't always use the scroll bar thing to go forward or backward through the video. Is there a media player that would pick up the videos so I could have full control?
I'm not holding out much hope for positive responses here.
Cheers
ED
Appeak poker in the market.

i hate to bring up old windows mobile but i actually liked that i was able to have a video running in the background. i notice any video app whether its youtube, slingplayer, or the gallery and i go into another app or home the video stops.
I don't understand why you would need a video playing in the background when you're not actively on that app unless you want it to buffer in the background. Which is a good idea and kind of disappointed that Android hasn't implemented this in yet.
i am about to post and say that it's technically possible, an app developer would just have to correctly code the onPause and onStop function to continue the video when the app loses foreground focus. but i dont know for sure if some type of video api is limited within the OS. i doubt that, and i bet it's possible. just nobody coded their apps in such a manner.
it is useful, lets say you are watching a video and you need to switch away for a few minutes but you want to keep listening to the audio while you write an email etc.
I'd say about 3/4 of the time I have a video/TV show on I'm not really watching but enjoy having it in the background. This would be great.
Is this a phone or a PC with a 23 inch monitor? We can't window apps, so audio aside I don't see the allure.

I agree. It's PROBABLY technically possible but it just hasn't been done.
I'm not seeing the allure of it either.
This is my phone after all. I would hate for video sound to be playing in the background when I get a phonecall.

That happened to me once. I was watching a....questionable flash video and an important call came in. It kept playing during the call and the caller could hear it.
Awkward....
Bahaha, that's hilarious. And yeah, I meant only audio. When I'm working at home I would rather have a TV show on in the background then music, regardless of whether or not I can see it. Hearing Hank Hill call someone a jackass helps me work more than music. I just wish we were actually allowed to bring phone's with camera's into work, and this would be doubly useful.
ok thanks for the info guys. for those who dont like it simply stop the video before u hit home. i used to do it all the time on wimo and it worked great. sometimes im watching a game and a text comes in and i dont want to wait till commercials to answer it.
The act 1 video player allows this , though you have to say 'play in background' every time you want it to happen. It's also not the greatest video player ever
This would be very useful for youtube. A lot of times I "listen" to youtube videos only for the music.
Awesome app for having video running along other apps.
Stick it!

Stick it is awesome.. I've had it for a few weeks.
Have you guys seen the youtube of Samsung Galaxy 3....Man I love the video player capability of minimizing while you can still type sms while watching the movie. I think it's an awesome idea. Is there any video app can do that?? Just cant believe HTC have not even include any video app other than the CRAPPY useless HTC watch.
There you go my friend

You can use different skins for the player too - mac one looks very polished.
Also blow your mates away by having two videos open at the same time whilst browsing the net - blinkin awesome

Nice.....but really bad cant make it full screen again???? you can only resize but cant make it full screen again. Think the dev should implement this feature.
Also very much a gimmick to me. Like Facetime. Or Siri. Will rarely ever be used outside of the 1st week/month, trust me
When I was watching unpacking galaxy then been thinking what a stupid idea is a watch movie and in the same moment writing sms, now I see people like that.
That seems so pointless and gimmicky. All touchscreen apps (every app you would download/use) is designed to use the entire screen. With a small video playing on the screen you are going to blocking at least SOME elements of the UI, in many cases rendering the app of the moment useless.
The S3 is a vomitted-up mix of software gimmicks and bad industrial design. The US versions are nothing more than a S2 with an LTE radio. Thanks, but no thanks.
hi,
well... i'm the strange one, but while everyone is complaining about not able to get real full screen in some cases when you play a video, i'm on the other side, i'm looking for a video player where i could watch videos like how youtube looks like in tablet mode, when you can see other thumbnails next to your video.
before call me crazy, let me explain :cyclops: i love my nexus, i've bought it mainly for its screen, and it is great - but sadly... only when you have hd feed, (oh i love it in hd, and real full screen is great)
unfortunately i do have a lot of music video from the web, and some are really low res. i did change the audio tracks from lossless sources, but couldn't find the videos in better quality, so when i playback my favorite mv's, most of them look awful on the big screen over larged 200% or sometimes 300% :crying: i can of course playback in real size on full screen so the quality is not too bad, but it looks really weird - the big black screen with a tiny video at the center. on the other hand when i watch them on youtube (without playing in full screen) they look ok more or less, the other thumbnails next to the now playing one fill up the empty space.
i'm not sure if such a player exist, but again, i often think something is impossible, then later i find it.
does anyone know something?
Okay this might not be what exactly you are looking for but I think what you really want is a video player where you can resize the playing window so that if the video you are watching happens to be low quality, you can resize it to a smaller frame. In that case try the app Super Video by GPC on the market. It's basically a floating window video player and when you are playing a video, you can resize the window to any size you want. Hope that's useful.

thanks for the tip, it is not bad at all, it would be close enough.
sadly it won't play smoothly. i did install the sw decoder pack or whatever was the name and now plays my files, but the audio is a bit async, and the video freezes or get blocks all over the screen, look like when a slow pc tries to play full hd files... also it takes 10 mins to load 23 thumbnails, then when i close the app, and reopen it starts again, navigating amongst the videos also freezes the app, have no idea what it is. i have mx player, it plays 720p movies smoothly, but these low quality mv's should not be a problem for any player
any idea?
Hmm I haven't really tested this app a lot so I'm afraid I can't help you. I used it to play some videos which I took with the phone's camera and it played fine. If I have to guess then it probably has problems with certain codices and you might be able to fix the problem by reencoding the videos with a different format, but that might be more trouble than it's worth.

i reinstalled it with the codecs as well, and now plays well
but something is still not perfect, because when i played one video, and wanted to start the next one, it froze - totally, i had to remove the battery...
anyway, i keep trying, but now i know at least that it's possible, just seen on youtube that galaxy s3 have this feature by default
thanks again
So I like highlights and all but it's a bit confusing to navigate through all the required options.....for now I'm wondering what is the purpose of the highlight button? All it seems to do is add it to a new album folder called highlights but it does not actually make a video highlight.....
And when installing NOS Rom I think I removed something important for HTC share because I can't login or use HTC share at all. Any idea what apk id have to reflash ? Thanks .

Highlights is a highlight of photos from an event or such grouped into a small video... It works just fine for me... You have to save it after editing or viewing the highlight.

No those are the 30 second "highlight videos", which also work well for me. I'm tallking about when you go into your camera shots, view a photo, tap for more details, there's option to share delete and also "highlight" and star it. When I do this it does not make a highlight reel but only makes an album in my gallery for highlighted shots almost like starred or favorites (not the 30 second highlight video)

Looks like it just creates another folder with anything you highlight. May just be that...a way to look through all of your photos and pick which ones you like. Then they get organized so you can easily see just them
Actually a good idea. I use the HTC device to quickly shows stuff on the tv screen at work. I take a lot of picts for meetings and this would allow me to quickly pick ones I just want to show then. Not have to flick through them all during the meeting.
** By the way...the Media Link HD is something they did very well. By far the most reliable, quickest and easiest device to quickly show videos, pictures, Music, your screen (quickly show web pages live etc) that anyone has made. We also have Apple TV and Samsung media devices at work. This one just dominates them. And it is sooo portable. I bring it on the road so watch movies in the rooms.

Makes sense I suppose. Also very cool with media link...
Question: when you save/export the auto generated 30 second video highlights it is saved as a video file. Why on earth can you not upload this to HTC share? It says video is not supported .....
