Netflix not clear and buttons stay lighted up

Is it me or is netflix not that clear. Important watching via wifi and it seems to have tiny squares. Also the buttons stay lit up they won't turn off. Is there anyway to turn it off while netflix is running?

Buttons can be turned off via screen filter in market...bad quality is due to bad internet connection. Try moving closer to router or not covering up the bottom of your phone with your palm

I can confirm this, even youtube video look better than netflix for some reason

I was watching Netflix earlier, and I noticed lines, very faint but still there, in the whole movie...
Weird.

I have noticed this problem too from the very first day I got the phone. Netflix quality is miserable with very low resolution... it's not the internet connection speed (WiFi 30Mbps), and the WiFi signal is not being blocked or anything (did a Speedtest).
It's not the phone either, I had it replaced 4 times when I was trying to get one with good screen (I didn't, just gave up).
This problem is also present while streaming flash videos. The strange thing is that if you download the flash video (same one with the bad quality), and play it from the phone (using the built-in videos app), the quality is fine.
It's as if the video is not being smoothed when upscaled and played. I could see that very clearly when comparing the flash playback with the downloaded file; like a shirt collar for ex.
Maybe the built-in app uses some different method of playing videos?

+1 Netflix looks better on my g2x and my hd7 what's up with that lol

I can think of several reasons...
1.) We do not have netflix hd.
2.) Large screen with piss poor resolution.

I think those lines are the same lines that people complain about when the screen brightness isn't up all the way. But video sucks, now that you guys mention it about flash video on the web i have come to notice that also.

Rogers no pics during video.....

I just noticed this now because I wanted to use the feature but my Rogers SGS3 can't take pics during video. The buttons not even there. I thought we were supposed to have that feature. Anybody else have that? Fix?

I thought that while recording video all you had to do was touch the screen to take pics?

That just causes it to refocus on that area.

Are you sure? I don't think you can manually focus during video recording. Taping the screen during recording looks like it is refocusing the camera but that is in fact the animation it makes when it is snapping a still during recording. No sound, no sliding to the side animation like when taking photos. Just that slight focusing effect to let you know you it worked.
Check your gallary.

Not working, tried that. Just refocusing the video. You can see a button on the bottom right that says AF to establish AF again. No pictures in the gallery.

I am on rogers and can take pictures during video.
when making a video all you do is press the little camera icon beside the red record button
I noticed that it says nexus so iam guess your not on stock rogers?

I'm with rogers using a custom rom and that feature is there

That is odd. Sorry I was of no help. Not sure what the issue is and unfortunately I'm not on a stock rom so I cant dig thru the cam/settings to be of any help.
Can someone who is on a stock rom that is able to take stills while recording post a screen grab of their cam app to show what its supposed to look like?

I've seen pictures of what it supposed to look like. Just was hoping maybe there was an option I missed. Very frustrating.....

If you have anti shake turned on then the option to take pictures while video recording is not there. Simply turn off anti shake

App for getting still pics from video?

Does anyone know an app that will let you pull pics from video the way the HTC One X does? I'm not talking about taking stills while recording, but afterward when viewing.

I remember reading a review before I bought my S3 that said it had that same feature as the One X, I was sad to find it didn't exist on the phone. Would love to find something to do this.

Try frame grabber it cost money but works good

The stock camera well do this. Look above the record button for the vid cam, should be a slightly smaller camera button. That one will take pics while shooting video.

I don't beleive this is what the person is asking about. In a commercial for HTC, there is someone capturing still pictures from a video playback, not while actually recording.

Stock AT&T GS3 camera video "twitching"? (Resolved)

I can't seem to upload the video, pics only it seems, but it looks like its shifting left and right quickly while the video remains smooth. Like the player is going nuts or something.
I'm a floating space-cat Cadet.

It happens on mine only when the antishake is ENABLED. It's driving me crazy.

I talked to Samsung about it and they said it could be a software error and they want me to send it in for repairs. The shaking only happens when Anti-Shake is ON and it makes the video hard to watch, it kind of looks like a small earthquake.

Where do pictures from video get saved?

So it seems pretty dumb to ask this, but I simply cannot find the files anywhere. When watching a video with the stock Samsung video app, theres a screen capture button up top that's supposed to take a still frame of the video, however I cannot find where it saves these pictures. A Google search did nothing for me :/. Thanks!

It saves in screenshots for me but it lags and takes a while to appear, a restart usually makes them pop up faster for me.

Yeah for some reason it wasn't popping up before. I see all 6 of them there noe, hah. Thanks!
