Note 3 screen shot quality ? Is there a fix? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Note 3 screen shot don't look like 100 percent quality as they did on my note 2 for some reason and when I send them to other people they are even worst even to a point you can't read the text ........is there a fix or am I doing something wrong ? Tried to search and no answers were found

I haven't seen any issues with screen shot quality at all.
Have you done something with your phone? rom, modifications etc?
How are you getting a screen shot and do you have an example of what you call unreadable text?

Are you sending the screenshot to other people via the MMS app? If so there's your problem. Any image you send gets compressed and since the Note 3 outputs a higher resolution screenshot than the note 2 you're going to have major compression going on which will make text unreadable. You can always take a screenshot and crop the picture of what you want to show someone and that should hopefully make things readable.

Yea sent through mms that's what I figured on the compression part I guess I'll have to try and crop things just sucks cause its easier just to send a screen shot

I push a lot of screenshots to imgur and then provide the URL to whom ever using whatever.
Example of something I did earlier:

Imgur now has an official app which makes doing this pretty easy.

Dont want to beat a dead horse...but Gallery > Screen shots
Screenshots!!!
I'm super super super excited!!!
I have known for over a year that all Samsung Android phones (with touchwiz) have a built in screenshot engine. The problem is that nobody has been able to figure out how to use it. I've even triggered it accidentally a few times on my Vibrant. There is no documentation on this feature but I finally stumbled across the answer while playing with my new Galaxy S II.
HOME+POWER
Please try this on some other Sammy phones and report back. I would love to find out if it works on all of them.
ah yes, it's actually documented in the manual
but as usual no body reads it, not even me
LOL
but it was mentioned already on the release date of the phone, and demoed
there's also another way to capture screen, something about tilting the screen and pressing something, forgot that part
Thank you all for your help.
I found it burried in the app screens.

Why won't pictures send as MMS with correct orientation? (Any ROM)

I've always had this issue and just never asked till now. It's not related to cm9 or any ROM as it's always happened. Pics will show the correct orientation in gallery/camera but as soon as I attach to send in an MMS message the picture displays sideways. Anyone know why, or how to fix this? It's annoying when I send a pic to my gf cause she can only look at it sideways, and her screen is much smaller than our Epic's so it's hard to see.

Additional info. Apparently according to her saving the pic gets it to display the proper orientation. However when sent it's still sideways. This does "not" happen when she sends me a pic though. They are received from anyone else in the correct orientation, it's only when sending.

The orientation is correct when I choose the photo. It "attaches" sideways and sends as such.

I shouldn't have to. Then I would have to go in and correct my pictures in gallery every time I send one. I should add this is only for "camera" pics. Downloaded pics send with correct orientation. I'm trying to get to the root of the issue so I no longer have it.

lost, thats not always true. it depends what type of "os" the recievers phone has. non-android and non-iphones don't correct the orientation.

zei, check on her prevail in the menu - settings - display, and make sure "auto-rotate" is checked marked.
Are you using the FFC or rear facing camera? And if using the rear facing camera, are you holding the phone where the camera button is on top or on the side (vertical)? I believe Samsung designed it this way. It assumes if you're using the back camera, it's to be taken in landscape mode, and it displays each picture as such.
I remember reading about this, or something very similar, a short time after I got my Epic and it was a known problem.
The opposite I believe is also true. If using the FFC, it assumes you're taking the picture in portrait mode (vertical) and will display the picture accordingly.

What messaging app are you using? Might be a setting in your/her app.
Stock messaging app. It's not her phone, it shows incorrect orientation in the messaging app "before" sending, shows that way on the other end, then corrects after she saves the attach and views it through gallery. And yes, it's only portrait photos that do this, landscape shows properly. Not sure the reason for the camera saving the picture in the proper orientation in the gallery but it displaying differently when attached to send as MMS. Why would that happen if the orientation is already correct before attaching it?

I'm experiencing same problem...on cm9

There's adobe photoshop express, a free photo editor fr the market that can be helpful w/ the orientation........however, this does not fix the actual problem..........get the mismatched setting less often, but am never sure when it'll reappear............so for those 'flipped' images PS Express is my personal quick fix!
..........sent from today's android = 4.0.3!
Problem only exists when picture is taken with phone in regular position...when using sideways like the camera app opens in problem is gone.so looks like that's our fix.

That's not a real fix. The problem isn't in the camera. The camera takes the pic in the proper orientation, and it displays correctly in the gallery. It's in attaching it to MMS.

Its some issue in android iirc, its done that as long as I can remember. If you take a picture in portrait, it'll send it in portrait, but landscape pics get rotated(or is it reverse? I'm sleepy atm).
My "solution" is to "crop" the picture, but select the whole picture, it essentially copies it, and sends correctly if you attach the "cropped" picture. I know its an extra step, but it takes about 30 seconds so it's easy to get used to

Screen shot quality

Hi this is my first time posting my phone is rooted and running a stock rom. I noticed that when I take a screen shot and send it with go sms it is so distorted you can't read its like it's only showing pieces of the text I can't seem to figure out why it's doing it any help is appreciated. Thanks

It's because you're sending it as a picture message. Any picture message is going to be compressed a lot that's why. You're noticing it more because it has text, it's less noticeable with a picture with no fine text in it.

^^^What he said. It's funny these are all issues I used to have with Galaxy phones. Seems like LG is really copying Samsung lol. Glad that's fixed on Samsung's end now tho. Anyways back on topic your best option is to use a third party messaging app until lg fixes that. They don't overly compress photos and ruin quality.

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!

Mms short vid clips in any way

Is there any way to mms very short video clips without the sorry file is to large to attach error. Just something even like 30-45 seconds in length.
Any mods available ....this seems to be the one thing since android has evolved that never got a mod or tweak to allow such.

You csn record using the lowest resolution and send video. Don't know the limit of how long or big the video has to be though.
