is your auto brightness unticked

yep, auto brightness is off and brightness is on the highest setting

And you think it's dim?
I have mine on about 20-30% all of the time except when I'm out in bright light then I crank it up a bit more. Never to 100% though as I feel it is not needed except in direct sunlight.

do you have the anti shattering, protector on your phone that can make. It dimmer

Lock 720p framerate?

Hi
I'm quite impressed with the 720p video recording on my Desire. But unfortunately the framerate sometimes drop drastically, which causes some annoying lag.
Is there a way to lock the framerate at 30 FPS?
Thanks in advance.

Lol...won't be possible that's why iphone4 kinda overdo android devices. In android it depends on sdcard... running applications.. duno what else.. lighting maybe. Check the other topic I started.

I was under the impression that it was more to do with the sensor itself? That's why many people get better FPS in bright light than in dark light (particularly when outside).
Lol, but some one have to tweak for better camcorder.
sameone has already playng around with 720p,Cyanogen
& have solution , 27fps, & this hack workin in our Cyanogen mod- Nighty

Volume+ not working on my Galaxy Nexus

Wanted to see why everyone kept talking about this app. I tried it out and there isn't any difference in audio at all. I set the speakers and headphones to max and nothing changed. I read some of the app reviews and it works on some Nexus's and not on others. Anyone know why? Does it noticeably improve sound quality?
Are you using the free version? I couldn't tell a difference on there either

I am using the paid version and from my experiences it does increase the volume noticeably, I use the setting at +10.
@OP are you using the one from the market or the one from the website which is much newer?
Works great here! Play a song and incrementally go through the volume levels till you find a sweet spot. FYI...running the HSPA version
Yes the free one from the Market is hardly noticble as it only increases up to +4.
The one from the website goes up to +15.
Trust me it really does make a difference.
With the brightness hack and the volume tweak i`m well happy with my Nexus
Oh and i have removed the annoying search bar too. Makes the screen look a lot bigger...
What is the website url?

Try going to settings then to sounds and then to music effects and select volume+ and see if that helps

I bought the pro version of Volume+ and still was not satisfied with the results, so I contacted Samsung and they told me to do a hard reset. I did and it helped. It formats everything and you lose your data, but it is noticeably louder, though not as loud as I would like. Now I will reload Volume+ again and see what happens. Samsung is aware of bugs in the phone, but contacting them might help too.
Did anyone else have the issue with making music tracks Max out volume over the headset for the first 10 seconds even if you dont touch the headset volume?

Low light video

When shooting a video in low light I can see the subjects just fine on screen while recording. However once I complete the video (the whole time thinking everything was visible) and go to watch it I find the video is much darker than when I was taking it (still on the device screen). Anyone else notice this or know what to do to fix it? Not sure why it is so much brighter and more visible during the recording. Seems like it should be just as bright as it was when I was recording it.

Make sure you have HDR set to auto or On.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. Thought hdr was only for photos.

Tried low light video with hdr on. Made no difference. I believe hdr only works for photos. It takes several photos at different exposures abd the combined them to one photo with the best of each one.
Thanks for the idea. Anyone else experience this or have an idea?
I'm also experiencing this issue. It's definitely lower light than it should be. Once video stars, it says something about auto-night mode being unavailable and the video comes out much darker than a photo would. I didn't see any way to turn night mode on manually. Ideas?

Camera app question

So I was messing around with my can app and just looking at settings when I noticed these two options aren't on. Naturally I tapped the icons to see if they could be turned on. Now I know there are some modes they won't work with but so far no matter what I do they went turn on. Has anyone else experienced this? I have the att variant.
Turn down the video resolution and the stabilization should become available.

Yeah I would have thought so as well but I have gone through every res setting from the UHD down to QCIF with no change so nto sure what I may be missing.
Have you tried going into settings and clearing cache and data on the camera app?

Question Is there any way to get dynamic refresh rate?

The battery drain is quite high and there's no option to automatically switch between 60 and 120 hz. Pretty bs
No, but the galaxy max Hz app
exactly, no official option, but the galaxy max hz. This thread: link
I used maxhz but I stopped. It works nice but there is reason why Samsung didn't implemented that. Screen in low brightness have slightly different colors in 60Hz and 120Hz. As result I stopped to use maxhz and I use 60Hz permanently

You can notice that on some colors. For me that was visible for example at AccuBattery green. I will make second try on that, maybe that was placebo after reading some posts about that ^^
Okay, so I checked it again and still didn't see any difference on AccuBattery icon. But this time I saw very, very little change in gray colour. It changes its brightness a little.
