Hi has anybody thought about creating a program to allow video ringtones?
Not going to leave you hanging alone
I always wondered that I remember when camera phones were being blasted out a friend of mine had a Sprint Sanyo that had video ringtone that was the only phone I have seen do that. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Would be cool though to see a friend or someone on a video ringer moving and shaking.
yeah, it looks like the iPhone can do it. Hopefully WP7 will make it happen too..

AFAIK, MS don't provide (and I'm afraid will never provide) any low level phone API. So, the only hope is "freedom ROMs" from DFT...
why do you need video ringtones?
its absolutly nonsense. If someone calls me, my smartphone is in my pocket or lies somewhere on a table. The sound notification is enough, to know that somebody calls me. And it takes maybe 2 seconds to answer a call, so why watch 2 secs of a video

First off, I'm not sure what's up your ass, but the word "need" was never used.
I thought it would he cool to have...no more to it!!!
2nd - Just because you don't want something doesn't make it nonsense. I'm quite sure there's some programs you would like to have that someone else has no desire for.
If you don't want something or agree w/ it, don't read the post, but please.....realize the world doesn't revolve around your opinion and just keep the uneeded ones to yourself..
Thanks

video ringtones work on iPhone because "MobileSubstrate" is working as a plugin to the springboard. It will not be possible to do anything like this on windows phone in the near future. hopes this answers your idea...

Well again...just because you don't want it doesn't make it nonsense...you need to get out of that bubble you live in and realize there's so much more than YOU on this planet...

Thank you, this does help me understand my idea and makes a lot more sense than your previous answer.
Maybe sometime down the road it will be possible..
It is very possible and I'll love to have it, seem like it would be a major battery leach though

Im sure you guys care less but anywho.
Screen has a greenish ugly looking tint on the left side of the screen going from top to bottom
You can see it in white pages or even this forum background as the page loads.
The so called 4G plain sucks outdoors and specially indoors, As soon as i step inside the house it looses the 4g, and also inside ANY place i walk in!
So i try using 3g, omg, i should say EDGE! LOL. SUPER slow.
Also, samsung still has this real dumb feature or hardware issue, the screen DIMS real low once the phone gets warm/hot. I hate that, ive used my iphone 4 and many others and NEVER EVER had to deal with this. It is so annoying.
Other than that and even the fact that the samsung hub wont let me play the movies i PAID for i loved the phone. So sad this is because i have no idea what to get next. Even if samsung releases a blow my mind phone again i will never buy one till they fix that retarded screen dim when phone gets warm or hot. Thats just crazy that i have to use it outside with such a faded screen!
Your complaints seen trivial and more than likely can be remedied by replacing the phone, other than that cool story bro

Not a "cool" story "bro." take ur phone outside in the sun for a few minutes and watch the screen dim. Sg2 unlocked version did the same thing.
you can manually adjust the screen brightness without auto set by swiping the taskbar

Everything you said is a dud unit + network related. The one thing that makes sense is the dimmer when it gets hot, but that's just a preference. I returned my EVO 3D because it skipped music tracks unless I downloaded an app (which had to be ran in the background) to prevent it. It's speakers were also so quiet that I'd sleep through my alarm. Then, to top it off, my text messages were displaying the wrong time (m texts would display the correct time, but incoming texts would be listed 2 hours before mine, so mine always appeared at the bottom and it was annoying!)....then my camera app became useless with green lines through it.
Anyways, done with going off-topic...I'd suggest getting a replacement or switching networks.

Slow down amigo, I am sure that up coming roms will take care of most if not all of those
Issues. That's the beauty of andriod you can pretty much customize anything. The size of this screen is awesome why go back to a 3.5". I don't see the greenish tint on my screen , Maybe you got a defective phone. Again I agree, some things are annoying but the devs can find solutions to most of the issues.
Return it and wait for your iphone 5. Ur a fanboy, I can see it in the way you talk. You had no business having a real phone like this to begin with. The beginners section is over at ApplefanboyIvegottheGBs.com.
Sounds like you got a lemon. There should be no green tint on the screen; S-AMOLED+ is amazing with colors and contrast.
Regarding network speed, 4G support is obviously dependent on whether or not there's 4G coverage in your area. I really hope you knew this before you bought the phone.

Oh shutie! Fan boy of anything im not. I mentioned the iphone 4 because its the last phone i had before i got this one. Ive had the droids, thunderbolt, galaxy phones from tmobile, samsung infuse, nexus one, and others and the iphone 4 for a week. So you got anything else to say thats worthless?
Also, you guys mean that when ur outside in the car and you use your phone for a while the screen doe NOT dim down? The setting on my phone was all the way UP and the screen was super dim. As soon as it cooled off like 1 minute or so it went suoer bright. Used it again to stream music and the screen went down low again. I hope its just a lemon.
Ur screen has a technical problem. It's a very complex piece of technology. Our experiences don't show green tint or dimming problems. The opposite is true. It's vibrant, bright and the color reproduction is like nothing we've ever seen. I would exchange that phone as soon as possible.
Sounds more like a lemon then the majority. Get what works for you, obviously in this thread certain response is expected especially with an informed user base for the most part

I dont have 4g in my town... And I pull faster 3g speed tests than any other carriers in my town...
I knowingly signed a sprint contracr knowing there 4g sucks (even though I dont haz it.... I hear its no good)
Why post a thread when you know its gonna be **** on?
Do you announce to your household when your gonna drop a log?
If no then why would anyone care when,how, and why you are returning ANY phone...
Opinions thats all....
And we all know opinions that bring useless negativity get **** on...
I retract any negativity I had toward this phone (mostly arrogant and some ignorant opinions I had based on my past experience with the sgs line)
I hope you feel like you made a point... Cuz I dont see it..?

So a while back I was using the HTC One S. I got it for the camera. I prefer samsung, for the most part, and have gone from a vibrant to galaxy s 4g to galaxy s 2. The only reason I did not go to the galaxy s 3 originally was because I needed a better camera. I wound up having to sell my HTC One s for some cash, and now I have the change to get a phone again, I am stuck, once again, between the one s and the s3. Personally, I would like to wait for the note 2, but I don't have the time. I am stuck with a basic flip phone right now, and while i don't mind using a flip phone, I have to have something for tethering with my tablet while I am work. So that is the rock and a hard place. Any phone I buy is going to be a few hundred bucks anyways, so I would rather go another hundred or two more and get the one s or s3.
Personally, the One S was great with the Axiom ROM. The battery lasted forever, and it had great extra features.
However, the s3 is still my preferred choice because of the bigger screen, the 720p, svoice, voice actions, and many other things. Not to mention the extra compatibility with my note 10.1 tablet.
My only real issue here, admidst all my rambling, is the camera. I know the HTC One S has an f/2.0 aperture, and the s3 has a f/2..6 aperture which makes a difference (although some people report the aperture as f/2.4)...my concern is how people actually like the photos and video. Ive noticed some washed out looks compared to the one s. I know the f/2.6 will give better depth vs the f/2.0, but thats about the end of the benefits.
My main concern is quality of photos/videos, and quickness of the picture. I have two young boys and I want to be able to snap a photo that is clear and of good quality, at a moments notice without having to worry about missing it or getting a blurry shot.
Any comments or thoughts on this would be helpful.

If the cam is your main concern, I think you will be happy either way. There may be a difference side by side but if you're not ccomparing the two like that you probably wouldn't care either way.
While some may have had issues with the camera I would say the vast majority have not.
There are a number of things that could cause pic problems here. Lots of people are running jb leaked firmware. Lots are using the cam from the note2. I seem to remember a few had problems fixed by updating the cam firmware...
But like I said, I doubt you'd be dissatisfied with the gs3. I dont know how theyd compare side by side but unless you're doing just that I dont think you'd notice or care.

Ive seen plenty of camera shot examples, but pretty much all (most, but not all) are from still photos are "posed" shots. It takes good pictures, and I think my only issue is its a little washed out vs the One S. However, I can deal with that. My biggest question is lag from button press to picture taken.
So, how much lag is there in taking a picture? If I wanted to take a picture right when somewhat hit the water diving off a diving board, or of my cat jumping from fence pole to fence pole and wanted a shot right in the middle between two poles, etc....how easy would it be? With the One S I could get pretty much zero lag. if I hit the capture button its taken the picture right then, and I can click the capture button over and over and over in rapid succession (not burst mode) and take multiple pictures. I really want the GS3 over the One S for other reasons, but need the camera to be on the same level.
So how quick does it take a picture when the button is pressed?...and how quickly does it recover to take another picture?
I find it to be quite quick on all accounts. Hasn't caused me any issues as of yet. Also, there is a feature where you can just record video and then capture the pics you want from the video.
Have you seen the commercial with the hikers and the goat?
The only complaint I have about the camera is the lack of hardware buttons for it. But I can deal with that.

Thanks for the feedback.
Its rather important to be quick on the camera trigger. Even with the zero lag of the One S I did miss some things. I have my two boys and they can be making a face or doing a little dance to their favorite tv show and I want to capture it, but the moment may just last a few seconds, and I need a quick trigger finger. So I dont want to have to focus and then 'click'. I want to hit and click at the same time.
Right now, however, I am stuck my an LG Mytouch Q and definitely not the best in the camera department. lol
Yeah I hear you on wanting to be able to get that quick shot. Its the msin reason I miss the csm button. But theres also a motion setting where you tap and hold on lock screen whil rotating to landscape takes you straight to the camera. I just added to my lockscreen shortcuts. Auto focus is pretty good too btw.
Dont forget you can always get the S3 and try it for 14 days. If it doesn't meet your needs return it and get the One S.

Thats where my problem lies. I work for T-Mobile. Mind you everything I do here is personal and not affiliated with my tmobile employment, but I work for them, and I know just about everything there is to know about the phones, but because I have not had a chance to really test shutter lag on the phone, I dont know if it meets my needs. I am VERY picky. I don't work in a retail store or anything so I dont deal with the phones in my hand daily.
...and because I work for the company, I do not get a buyers remorse period on my purchases. Once I order it, give or take a couple of exceptions to the rule, its mine. So while I can tell you about every wifi share options, every motion and voice control, and so on, I dont know for sure if the camera lag will be a problem in practical use because I do not have the phone physically with me. ..and when I did have the phone physically with me...I never tested it cause I either had my one s or was not in the mindset of having to buy a phone lol. I will probably get a chance to check out a demo model tomorrow when I head in to work, but I was trying to get it ordered over the weekend, so it would start processing my order. Our order system is different and the sooner the better.

IMHO the Galaxy S3 takes the best pics I have ever taken with a phone. See for yourself. I am attaching two pics of a sunset/day-time at Vanderbilt Beach, Florida. Rarely have I been disappointed with the quality of the pics. At least for me, they almost always turn out perfect. I highly recommend the Galaxy S3. Even in low-light situations, you still get a great pic.
Well 1) it's a camera phone and 2) ymmv. There isn't more "lag" than a cheap point and shoot but this isn't a dslr, it's a phone. It's going to come down to to you and each unique situation.
Bit of an odd one but I find sometimes when I record a video the first second jerks a bit (noticable on playback), does anyone else notice that?
yeah, im getting something that looks like there is a fast pan in the first few frames. going to check it out in premier

What did you find out? It's frustrating.
Hi all,
My wife loves watching youtube videos on 1.75-2x speed. We noticed that the sound specially on music played in the video is very distorted/muffled/sounds like youre underwater. This doesn't happen on the iPhone 7 Plus we switched from. I searched all over and couldn't find anything on this other than an old article regarding Android 5.0 where you can disable something called "nuplayer" in developer settings but I don't see this option.
This has been confirmed to happen on both of our Note 10 Plus' on Android 9.
Any help trying to figure this out will be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you!
Another interesting find is that this also happens on PC! What the heck did Apple do different?! This sucks big time.
I guess case closed. This is a "normal" occurrence.
I think it's the video as I just done it and it sounded ok to me so must be the video and how the sound is coded

Yeah, I'm not too sure! My wife sent me a couple links to test and they both had the same issue. She complains that most videos she watches has that issue. Anything from music to background noises on planes and such (she watches a lot of traveling/food vlogs). I'll PM you a link for the video I'm talking about as I'm not allowed to post links yet.
When the music kicks in, it sounds distorted. This doesn't happen on the iPhone. I really don't understand what would cause this.
Ok I'll have a listen to it now and report back to you

I guess another thing is that it may sound normal to people who are used to it. But if you have an Apple device to test and compare it to, you'd be able to tell the difference right away. When I first heard it, I thought she was crazy until she showed me the difference on our old iPhones. Then it left me wondering why it would do this. Some more articles I stumbled upon mentioned CPU processing power when setting it to a faster playback but I can't imagine the Note 10 Plus being inferior to the iphone 7 plus in processing power.
I couldn't find video or got inbox also dont have an iphone lol
