I've been a little disappointed by the camera quality out of the box. The pictures aren't bad but I was expecting more after hearing about how great the camera is. Are you guys using the stock settings or are there things I can tweak to improve quality?
Also, I have problem when sharing a photo via Gmail. I take a picture in portrait mode but it sends it in landscape.
I have downloaded and am using the DSLR Camera app from Samsung Apps and have been getting great results.

How do you get that?
It is available from the Samsung apps. If you registered your phone with Samsung, you have access to apps that are apparently free for those with Samsung phones. You can find it here: http://samsungapps.com/

I'm sorry, I've not experienced that problem. I just emailed myself a couple portrait photos to double check and they were fine. Wish I could help.

Did you view the pics in your Gmail account? Or did you download them and view them in your photo viewer? Maybe the landscape orientation is the only way Gmail allows you view the pic. Could be that it's a problem with Gmail and not my S3 but I'm trying to remember if it did the same thing with pics sent from my Evo 3D. I don't think it did.
Sent them to my wife's yahoo email account and just viewed them from there.
So I just took a picture in portrait mode and sent it to my Yahoo address. When I view it in Yahoo, it's correctly in portrait mode so I guess it's a Gmail issue.

I used an app from the play store called HaxSync, you have to pay for it but I find it so much better with it using face detection to get pictures and downloads hi-res pictures, check it out

I had this too. Edit the contact and make sure you're using the high res photo from haxsync. Mine were defaulting to the low res from friendcaster.

How do you do this? I've already got haxsync, but can't find any option for changing default picture?
It's syncing but not replace the pictures (and i tick the "force replace" pictures)
help :<
Go into your contact, click on edit contact then click in your contacts photo you can choose haxsync photo from within that.

Yep, happens to me. But only when you try beaming things like pictures. Our phone can beam webpages, contacts. but not pictures.

In the default browser in jelly bean you can zoom in my sliding your figure up and down the side of the screen.

Thanks. I think this is a new feature to achieve single hand operation.
do you see the same behavior with email as well?
That's not new you can do the same in ICS
Edit:
Sorry nvm you can't do it on ICS my fault.
This is the most annoying feature I have ever encountered. I wish there was a way to turn it off. Whenever I'm reading a article on the browser I constantly keep zooming in while trying to scroll
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
Agree man, absolutely hate it. Main reason I don't use the stock browser. Always keep on zooming or panning out when reading an article.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
Now that I know it's there I love it.
From what I can see, some love it while others hate it. I personally use Chrome for web browsing on my GS3 but at least now we know that feature is there in the stock browser.
I stumbled across this when I almost dropped my phone in the toilet XD. Off topic but when you guys plug in your usb to your computer to add music and such things do you still get that syncing app that pops up on your screen? Mine seems to be gone now ever since the update.

The new Gmail (updated today) does do it. You'll need to go into settings and enable 'Auto fit Messages'. Voilà, zooming in with the slide of a finger and pinch to zoom of course.

That's what it is, thank you for clearing that up! I thought my phone was freaking out and randomly zooming in & out when I would scroll around. I noticed it first in Reddit Is Fun, it must use the default browser when you browse external links from inside the app. I wish the phone would've had one of those "did you know" tips pop up the first time you do it, as an FYI.
I know these boards have little time or patience for noobies. ( I did enjoy the pre registration video)
I have followed the instructions and done my homework.
Can anyone help me with a way to get my photos with a time/date stamp on them ?
First I was surprised that the GN2 did not have this feature and all of the APPS that I have found so far are not worth p--p.
Thank you for any suggestions or comments.

Ok like this? Very easy. Just enable gpd tag. Aldo while on the photo in your gallery you can also at a "weather tag" as I did.

U see it in gallery. You tape on the picture and shows you the location. Also you can go under settings and view more info tells u under "details" even tells you the longitude and latitude

I think he wants it physically "stamped" on the photo. So if it were to be printed etc, the date would show up on the photo regardless. I'm sure there are photo apps that can do this, but I don't have a use for it, so I have never really looked.

Sorry if this had been asked, I'm running omega ver 7 on my T mobile s4, everything works flawlessly except camera. It takes photos well, and i preview them and they look fine. But when I share them in Facebook, messages, Google drive, or anywhere else the image quality gets much worse, and even blurry, it's almost like it coverts it to a lower megapixel photo. Anyone had this happened? Any suggestions?

I am running omega7 on m919 with no issues on camera what so ever. sharing pic on facebook, mms, google drive, dropbox, etc, etc. did you change any settings? what's your setup? what kernel you running?
I did not mess with the settings, running kt kernel. Did you try pinching to zoom after sharing the photo? Sometimes is not as noticeable until you zoom in.

messages will get compressed and idk about google drive...
pictures that i want clear on facebook get resized first on photoshop and then i click on "high quality" in the fb options.
for messaging, if i need the picture clear i just use dropbox and send them the link to the original image.
dropbox > google drive...just saying
Ever thought about actually posting this in the omega thread?
