Cassette Case?

I have been looking for one forever and can't find it.
Anyone able to point me in the right direction?
The only phone I have ever seen those for is the iPhone.. pretty much just solid colors for the epic touch.

This is what I saw when I searched for it. Says it's compatible with our phone but for some reason I'm doubtful.

Hey I am on a Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition with Android 4.3 and my front facing camera is exactly like yours that you described. It looks like a painting and its quality is terrible, even though it is still 1920x1080. Did you eventuall fix your camera?

Go under settings-display-display mode and change the settings to see if that helps.

Are you sure you have a sprint S3? You're posting from the international version so I'm a little doubtful. If you're rooted it may also be a big with your rom, or maybe a common problem with your phone (if referring to int'l version)
I made a mistake.I have int version and it is not rooted l.maybe is a common problem who knows.

Low light photos tend to be grainy and don't look good, unless you have a very good camera. There is not really a cell phone out that takes low light pictures really well. You don't see the spots or grainy ness when you use the flash because there is more light. Take some pictures in sunlight and they will look great.

Yes i agree with you.When i take pics with more light they look very good and dont have spots.You think that is not a big deal?or maybe is a common problem for s3 and only i noticeed it,i cant belive

This is a problem with all phone cameras. They just don't have good enough sensors and what not to take good low light pics. If you want a great camera for low light images get a real DSLR camera.

I love DSLRs and use them quite often, so I might be able to shed some light (pun intended) on this situation.
I won't go into too much detail about it, but the low light performance comes down to the CMOS image sensor size. This article and this article do a good job of explaining what the camera sensor does, but it boils down to the following: a smaller sensor will be able to absorb less light than a larger sensor. This is why phone cameras will never be as good as (high end) DSLRs. This is also why, for the most part, size does matter when it comes to cameras (not 100% foolproof of a rule, but it stands).
Now, when you're taking a picture in a low-light area, the sensor picks up what it can. This is where software takes over. There are algorithms that cameras (both in DSLR and phone cameras) that interpret the sensor readings and compile them into an image. When the sensor can't read enough light, it's output to the algorithm won't contain enough information to provide an accurate picture. This is where grainy pictures come from and sometimes, artifacts like the ones you've been pointing out.
I'm not sure why it's happening primarily with low-light Red pixels on your phone, but it won't be fixed by getting a new phone. It'll be fixed by getting a $2K DSLR. Even though our cameras are 8MP, they will inherently be worse than a high-end camera. These cameras are nice for snapping a pic of a friend or relative or your favorite dish at that new restaurant, but if you're trying to blow them up to a poster, good luck with that! Having realistic expectations of the phone camera will help you be more satisfied with it.

I should also state that my previous post mainly applies to low-light conditions. Given adequate lighting conditions, this phone camera is phenomenal. The problem with the small sensor is that it takes more light to get adequate lighting. Hope this makes sense.

Blacks not completely dark

Hey guys I got the S4 on launch and after comparing the screen to my S3 I noticed on the S4 the blacks were as if the screen was off while the S3s blacks were lit up. What gives? I thought on the s3 the blacks should also look off ? I never noticed it before.

Well the s3 and the s4 have very different screens in general. I have noticed this as well. Loving the s4 screen though!

I literally can't tell a difference on my s3 between black and screen off
But it would make sense that oled screen technology has change some what in the last year...

Well I know they use a different pixel arrangement but I think that's it. Its still amoled. I wonder if after a year of use something burned in that's why the blacks still light up
