So, I finally got ICS and was wondering if this feature works. I've seen some youtube videos on this and some blogs. It appears that you are just supposed to set the timer in the settings to the desired interval while in video mode.
"For those unfamiliar with the time lapse option, simply head into your camera app, choose the video recorder and then the half circle icon to set your time lapse interval. Press record and enjoy!" (From droid life blog entry ... couldn't post the link) I've even tried Camera ICS and while the option is there, it does not seem to work.
Hopefully this is just an ID 10 T error on my part. :fingers-crossed:

So I know a few people have asked about this around the net and I've yet to find a solution for this so I thought I'd post my little workaround.
Anyone that's tried to create a long timelapse with the GNex will tell you 1) you NEED to be plugged into AC the whole time and 2) Phone gets extremely hot. Since brightness is automatically increased when recording video, and can't be decreased I use the following combo/setup as a workaround.
Download Screen Filter from Market (**** a play store) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor&hl=en
This app essentially lets you tint your mobile screen from a percentage range of 2-98% of your current brighthness.
Once the app installed go into drawer and add the apps widget to one of your home screens, and set your desired tint percentage. I'm currently at 2% and that makes my screen look like its completely off (except for softkeys)
The final product ends up looking like this..
lol and for all you pervos out there dont be using this workaround to secretly record down/up women's clothes and such...
there is a spycam app called simple notepad that will give you a complete black screen while recording and lets you take pictures by tapping the screen. it works great with amoled scene since the phone looks like it's off when there is a black background. it'd didn't work so good on my atrix but great on the captivate. It's not in the market so you will have to google it.
thanks for the tip I'll check it out
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
but how can you do anything after recording has started? my phone stops recording even if i press the home button.
or do you darken it before you start recording, and then navigate blindly? how do you undarken it afterwards?
hmm... the screen filter idea seems kind of good, even though you have to navigate blind through the menu... I wish there was a native way of achieving this, just like a button in the camera to turn the screen off and back on again on a tap somewhere or so... But I think it works for my problem, thank you for your idea.
I have downloaded a few camera and video recorder widgets, and most of them don't work on my SGS3. All I ask is a one-touch home screen widget. Touch the widget and SNAP. Picture taken. Or touch the video widget and optionally maybe have to hit a start button to start recording. I have seen them on other phones, but no luck so far here.
Or, if anyone has any other ideas for quick access to getting pictures & video, I would appreciate hearing them.
I have used this for video

It makes you have to save when you hit stop, won't auto save. however, this seems to be the best there is.
Hi, Is there a hassle-free, decent app, that captures screens in Android 4.3 on Samsung S3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1/2014
- without interpolating
- with 5 seconds delay
- also capturing screen elements that appear only while screen is touched?
I will happily pay for that app.
I would like to take Screenshots in that fashion:
1. press on-screen button in screenshot app
2. five seconds later, the whole screen will be saved as a PNG file (or TIFF or BMP).
But:
My two Android 4.3 devices create screenshots ONLY in those ways:
- wipe screen with hand horizontally (it's activated in settings)
- press Home- and Off-buttons
- on tablet, with S-Pen and screenshot-note (results look interpolated, even though they have the screen's resolution of 2560x1600px)
These methods are troublesome, the wiping changes app states and generally i cannot record elements that only appear when the screen is touched (for instance, the editing controls that appear when you touch a photo in an image-editing app).
Last year, i had some ways that all don't work now with Android 4.3. After pressing the Off-button for a while, i do get the usual menue, but there is no screenshot option (i don't see where i can activate the option in the settings).
I also tried around five apps recommended in many articles, including Screenshot Free, Screenshot UX Trial and Screenshot Ultimate. They do NOT capture anything. Screenshot Ultimate has a Screenshot Auto Detect telling me there is no easy way to capture screens; followed by a very long and complicated explanation how to capture screens anyway, but i don't want to follow this long explanation and i don't want to "root".
In short: Is there a hassle-free, decent app, that captures screens in Android 4.3
- without interpolating
- with 5 seconds delay
- also capturing screen elements that appear only while screen is touched?
I will happily pay for that app.
Thanks!

Click to expand...

Well... I can start counting from my own camera in 4.3:
If you launch the application from the camera button or by swiping to the camera, it will open in scene selection(kinda like xperia z superior auto, but even worse), while if you open it by the app drawer, it will launch in the last mode.
The Scene Selection mode disables scenes and exposure settings and it enables taking pictures in bursts(from the front camera, too), however in my experience the pictures aren't better than picking your own settings in manual mode.
The shortcuts aren't customizable anymore(it's mostly a pity for the hdr mode and metering, most other settings are leave and let go)
You can pick 10 scenes for photos and videos(photos didn't have scenes) and also picking a scene disable the white balance and exposure settings. The scenes are in the attachments. (Most of the scenes don't really work, but the documents scene makes the photos real good).
White balance and exposure are the same, finally.
Preview(leaving the photo to show for a period of time): 3 seconds, 5 seconds, unlimited and edit(opens the edit photos app).
D... Different shutter sound(to be clear, the sound when you take a picture)
The new menu(the xperia z1 has this too, not that important)

So, I didn't see a thread with different tips, tricks and features for the M8 and figured I'd add one. There are a lot of things that people don't know about this phone, especially someone like me coming from a Note 3 (Touchwiz) phone. I was on HTC for a while before my Samsung stint and have been learning all sorts of cool new things. Below is a start:

Other tips:
Double tapping will turn on the screen, but it will also turn OFF the screen while in lockscreen.
Zoe Highlights
Create your own mini-movies in seconds. Choose the pictures and videos you want to combine, select a theme and add a soundtrack.* Easy as that. And when you're done, share them with friends and let them add to the fix.
HTC BlinkFeed
Even easier to use. Simply swipe left and you'll automatically enjoy your personalized information stream, Facebook and Twitter posts, breaking news, sports scores and more. Stop digging through online clutter and start enjoying what means the most to you.
HTC Sense TV™
We've completely redesigned it this year to provide a richer and more immersive navigation experience, including social feeds and live sports stats.
Extreme Power Saving Mode
The battery in the HTC One (M8) lasts 40% longer than before. Extreme Power Save mode gives you up to 2 weeks of standby time while still giving you manual access to calls, email, texts, and other basic functions. Even with just 10% battery, you’ll have 30 hours of standby time with Extreme Power Saving Mode.**
Pedometer sensor
Download the Fitbit® app to collect data from the M8’s sensor hub and display your activity stats, including steps, calories, and distance.
Variable slow-motion
Capture in slow motion, and then change the playback speed of a segment in the video to add a more hilarious or dramatic effect.
Pause and go video
Eliminate multiple video files with just a single perfect video. Use the pause button when video recording to pause it, then you can reposition yourself, or wait for the next great moment, and continue recording.
A refined user experience with HTC Sense® 6 that is beautiful and simple
• Color coded themes for easy navigation
• New, beautiful font adapted for high resolution displays
• Install your own fonts
• New, visually simpler icons
• New keyboards for faster input
• Flip to Silent – silence when you need it - quickly flip device to silence ringer
• Quiet Ring – ringer works as much as you need it to, especially while around others -- device knows when you pick it up and automatically decreases ringer volume
• Pocket Mode – hear your device even when it’s tucked away -- device rings louder when enclosed in pocket/bag
• Do Not Disturb - Easily avoid any interruption during a meeting or overnight – block incoming calls /turn down notification sound/vibration.
Any other things that we should add to this list? Let me know.
Other miscellaneous Tips
I have a pair of Samsung earbuds (came with my Note 3, essentially same as any Galaxy S3, S4, and Note 2 earbuds).
