How much space do you have left on your s3?

How much space do you have left on your s3?
16GB S3
4.5gb remaining
What do you have on there that takes up the most space? I cant find an app where its easy to see exactly which files/folders are taking up how much space

DiskUsage in the app store.

A little more than 32GB

My 16GB is almost full, and the culprit is mostly GameLoft gamedata.
I definitely want at least 64GB internal in my next phone, + 128G external, and 1080p flexible samoled+, wireless hdmi, ~5", 12MP, ... better stop myself here.

that must be including an external sd card right?
I regret not getting the 32gb.
i dont think the 1080p would be such a big deal on such a small screen

1080p comes in handy when you connect your phone via MHL-HDMI cable to a 1080p display. Currently, WhatYouSeeIsWhatYouGet, which means 720p upscaled to 1080p. Also, if you've got eagle eyes, the S3's 320dpi still isn't good enough.
In any case, 1080p displays are coming, along with GPUs efficient enough to drive 'em. At some point we'll have to make a disconnect between the phone's display resolution and it's output resolution (when 4K and 8K TVs become more common in a few years).

You have eagle eyes? It depends how far you hold it from your eyes as well. There will most likely be no difference - except for people that like to think they see the huge difference while they are staring like -
I know 1080p is coming. There is lots of things in the world that are unnecessary so I didnt doubt it for a second.

zmore said:
My eagle eyes comment wasn't the main point, but thanks for choosing that for your subtle diss launching pad.
Both you and I would be able to tell the difference, and not just "like to think" we would. At 1ft the human eye starts reaching its limit of seeing individual pixels @ greater than around 300dpi. I often hold my phone 6 to 8 inches away and can easily see jaggies, so, until we've actually reached the physical limits of our eye, moar dpi == moar betteh. Kthxbai.

Not sure where you interpreted a diss launching pad from.
There are many web sites discussing this topic. I dont need to get into the specifics (especially since this is partly my field of work).
1080p on screens this size is pointless.
I am now asking you nicely to stop posting in my topic. If not, I will report to moderators.
Thank you.

zmore said:
400+DPI may be pointless for MANY people, but definitely not everyone, including the millions of us with exceptionally good eyesight (20/15 or 20/10). For those with regular 20/20 vision, they'll get the better display anyway, and primarily take advantage of it when it's natively output to a matching 1080p display instead of upscaling from 720p (which was my main point previously).
AND NOW I SAY GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR!

My point was 1080p is pointless for the SMARTPHONE's screen. Obviously not for a 1080p external display (which still has its stipulations - depending how far you are sitting, etc).
Regardless, I have reported you.

None... I have to use a backup SD Card and that's almost full. I have mainly music taking up all if the space. Second is apps and the photos.

Note 4 - 4k Video Quality

This is for anyone looking to get the Note 4 and wanted a sample of the Video quality. The video is done though the Note 4, and nothing was modified or changed in anyway.
You can also get a few photo samples here: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Camera Samples So far the phones camera is awesome in my option.
Mod Edit: closed as a duplicate.

Those are sweet images! I can't wait to test mine out, just picked it up, doing all the fun set up and transferring data now.

I went with White. First time too. Had a black Note 3, Black iPhones, Dark red Galaxy S3. I guess we will see how it goes. Also depends on the case I end up with

I feel like with a stable camera mount and high quality external mic you could actually make a beautiful low budget film with this thing! If cameras are getting this good, I'm excited to see what the future holds in store for us all

True but there will never be a good low light phone camera unless the sensor is half of the phone.

If you were a profession, and has everything then I wouldn't see why you can't use this as a 4k video camera.

They don't seem to advertise that aspect of it.
When you start recording in 4k, notice that it tells you how much time remains, and it says five minutes. At the end of five minutes, it stops recording.

It's not like any movie films scenes longer then five mins at a time. Film for a couple mins, then end scene and start again. I have never scene Hollywood roll camera for more then a couple minutes at a time. The only down side would be people who blog or do extended reviews but to be honest your better off at 1080p for stuff like that.

I don't think it'd be hard to chop a vlog into five-minute segments.
But I'll often be in a scenic situation where I want to record video with the camera unattended for half an hour and then edit it down to the interesting parts. With 4k video on the Note 4, that's not possible.

What would be the reason they made it limited to 5 minutes? Also when I do video I Stop each clip so nothing is longer than 3 minutes. Unless i'm doing something else that requires a constant video stream then i guess it wouldn't work.

I had read a few months back for a prior Galaxy that this was done so the processor doesn't overheat.

If the file system is FAT32, any individual file is limited to 2 gigs. Might have something to do with it.

No, it's exFAT. It's got videos of more than 2 GB. And if it were a file-size limit, the phone should just shoot until the limit is reached, rather than forcing the video to stop at 5 minutes (which turns out to be around 1.7 GB).

Will the Nexus 5X have Ambient Display?

I haven't seen anything regarding this in the news or spec sheets, and since it's gonna have an LCD screen, I think it's a legitimate question.

Yes same ambient display as you would see on the Nexus 6

yes it will, but its not going to be as good as the nexus 6p ambient display because it will light up the whole screen isntead of the individual pixels, and thats the main reason im going with the 6p

Thanks guys, I'll try it out and see how it works. I just hope it's more responsive than on the Nexus 6.

Oh no, that doesn't sound promising. But the Moto X is using 2k for the screen, not 1080 so that could be a factor for average battery? I think the 5x will be fine with ambient because doze and app standby

I'm pretty sure the 2k screen or quad hd screen is what's killing the battery much faster than it should. I'm also seeing a lot of people reporting their 2nd most used is the phone's radios. Myself and a bunch of other people report that it shows 5%-10% "phone without signal" which is weird because my old phone never had these problems, Maybe there will be a software update soon but I think I'd rather stick with a much smaller 5x which is easier using it one handed

i would take ambient display even if i had to sacrifice some battery

I just hope it works better than the Nexus 6. Coming from a 2014 Moto X, it's hard to stomach the way it works on the Nexus 6.

With the 5X and 6P, there's Android Hub, which will make ambient display activation more accurate. Something to look forward to

Hope so!

Just to clarify, the 5X cannot pulse the time/notifications in white like Moto display? But the 6P does?

6P has EIS, smart burst, slo-mo at 240fps. Idk what else it can do but I think ambient display is the same since both have Android Hub
Sent from my Nexus 5

Ambient display is the same on both
The only way the ambient display will differ between the two is 5x=LCD and 6p=Amoled. Amoled screens only light up the pixels needed whereas an LCD lights up even black pixels (since the whole panel is backlit ) so theoretically the 6p ambient display should use slightly less battery than the ambient on the 5x

The Moto X Pure has a 5.7" QHD IPS LCD and only a 3,000mAh battery so I'm not sure what you were expecting. Putting a 3,000mAh battery in a phone with a screen like that and expecting good battery life is like putting a 10 gallon gas tank in a heavy duty V8 truck and expecting to get 350+ miles on a single tank.

That Motion Blur

Has anyone else noticed this tablet has a God awful amount of motion blur? Even pulling down the notification bar you can see it but its mostly noticeable when playing 60FPS content on YouTube
Its sooo bad!! And now I've seen it I can't unsee it.

I have had a tablet that hasn't had it to be honest.
But I will say the temperature of the device (screen to be exact) that plays a role in it too. The colder your screen is the more dramatic the effect.

Heating

Has anyone else encountered the phone becoming slightly warm while using the camera? Also how you use the portrait mode on the H 8? Like blurring the background and changing it after taking the photo?
Thanks!

Well a bit of heating is normal especially when talking a long video.

Is the high temperature during prolonged camera use because of the smart/high brightness which sets the screen brightness to the max?

42 isn't a alarming temperature. If it is a persistent rise, then it is matter of concern.
Otherwise, the device cools down rapidly once we stop using camera.

took a 10 min video over the weekend. didn't feel any significant heat from the phone. but it could be coz:
* i forgot to enable EIS (didn't know it was turned off by default)
* video was only 720p
but i did feel some heat when i was playing Mobile Legends. but the phone didn't lag though during game play, my touch/ accuracy went a bit haywire -- not sure if the heat affected the touch/ sensors... anyway, it could down quite fast after i finished my gaming session.

for those "capture" the moment... and not going to edit... i feel 4K is still not necessary. i don't even have any device that can view 4K in its full glory. so, for me, 1080p is more than good enough since i don't have any plans to edit those videos.
but ya, figured 4K would cause heat... which is why i put a "disclaimer" that i was recording only in 720p... hahaha...
