did anyone try to watch videos on your galaxy note?
because when i do the video looks werid(?) (i tried to think of a better way to explain this but english isnt my first lang )
im using the bell version of the galaxy note
Can you be more specific here?
Which app were you watching videos with? Netflix?? Plex? Live TV App?? the Movies app?
And by weird...what do you mean? Aspect ratio issues? Overscan??? Artifacts??
Really need more information if we are to try to help you.
You can Tap the top left button while on the video player to change aspect ratio, that's the only thing I've found to display funny on mine. Also, pressing the power button "locks" certain controls (maybe screen taps) so that tapping that little icon has no effect if the power button has been used to lock. That happens a lot easier than you think as it's incredibly easy to click that little guy...

Hey guys quick question for you.
I download youtube videos on my computer and load them up on the GNote and watch the clips using the stock player.
Sometimes when I select the next clip I want to watch, it would play a video that I captured using the GNote. Does this happen to anybody else or is it just me? Also, is there are way to default the screen orientation to landscape?
I could use MX Player or Doubletwist, but I like the stock player because you could lock the screen. This function is vital because I hold the phone with my thumb pressing the softkeys on the bottom.
As always, thanks.
What about flipping the phone around so your thumb is resting on the top of the phone, by the carrier logo? Then you don't have to lock anything. The area is just as wide as the area used by the buttons so there is plenty to hold on to. Just keep your thumb to the left of the logo and not to the right so you don't cover up the sensors.
Right now, when you connect the Galaxy S III to a TV, it'll display the video in whatever orientation the S3 is currently in. For example, when you hold the phone vertically, it shows up as portrait on the TV (with black spaces on either side), and when the phone is held horizontally, the TV displays landscape video.
Since I have a screen that can rotate, I want to make it so that the video that the Galaxy S III displays will always fill the screen. As in, when the S3 is held vertically, the video it displays fills the whole screen without the black spaces (if you were watching it on a TV, it would appear sideways).
Is this possible? I know that on the iPhone there's an app on Cydia called Landscape TV Out, which always outputs the video in landscape (thus filling the screen). That's what I'm looking for.
If an app is possible but it doesn't exist, I'm willing to pay for one to be made.
To clarify, I've attached two pictures that show what the S3 outputs by default and what I need it to look like in portrait.
I've searched through the GT-i9300 and SGH-i747 source code, but I haven't found anything (maybe I'm not looking for the right thing?)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

It's just the settings on your TV.
You will need to choose a different aspect ratio on your TV settings
That's what i thought, but when i when in the image settings, i just saw things about color, brightness... I got a bravia...

I don't use Sony but there will be a settings for aspect ratio somewhere. Take your time and look for it.
There are many options on Samsung; full screen, crop, 16:9, 16:10, zoom etc

If you have had a thorough look through the image settings then it may just have it's own dedicated button on your remote.
I have a Panasonic Viera and I have a button on my remote which is called "16:9". This is the only way I can change aspect ratio.
Look on your TV or your remote for a dedicated aspect ratio button sometimes it's a square with an arrow in it. Obviously it's differnet for different models.
Either look in your manual, or google it.
Your TV will definitely have a way to change aspect ratio, you just have to find it.
I found the button, few choices but.none that makes it fit or even smaller...

Hi.
Yes, i have, I9300, i bought multimedia stand for note II and it works like charm. One small problem. Screen resolution of my monitor is 1200x1600, and what resolution S3 has - you know. Is there any way or program that will change screen resolution after connection S3 with monitor to the 1200x1600? It looks not good when S3 give me his native resolution, all blurry and crappy view on the monitor.
Stand has 3x USB, 1xHDMI, 1x3.5jack, and place to connect charger that has 5V 2A. For curious ones i have bought that device here that is Polish shop but pictures you can see there.
Anybody know is there any way to make that phone use 1200x1600 screen resolution after connection to that base?
Oh, one more question, that base make phone to use landscape mode, but when i use skype, or camera, it works in normal mode, and screen is blinking till my camera is running. When i turn my camera off - phone is using FULL SCREEN MODE!! The same situation is in youtube app and when i am watching movies. It uses screen resolution that my monitor has.
Anybody can help me with that?
Nope, there's nothing you can do with hdmi resolution -plenty of similar posts but none I've read found a solution. Can't make any sense of your second question.
Oh, sorry, it`s hard to me to translate that straight from polish ok i try again: Camera. For example: When my cellphone is connected to that base, and i`m using skype, when i turn on my front or back camera, person who i talking to view me on side, like 90 degrees to left. Cellphone is forced to use landscape mode on that base and only camera is working normally (neutron music player too ;P )
Another fact that normal screen is not on full screen, on top and bottom there is black stripe - i understand why. And skype, youtube or other movies is using fullscreen mode.
Other soft for s3 supporting that connection to base?
