Someone noted that you could change the picture mode to something like Movie, Vibrant or natural etc. Not sure of the actual names but i would love to know how to do this. I googled it but came up with nothing lol. When i was comparing a few Netflix movies to my GF's new iPad last night the skin tones looked really pinkish red compared to the more natural realistic look on the iPad. I love Sammy's punchy colors, but when viewing movies or videos id love to know how to make the colors more natural.
So is this possible just like how i can change the picture mode on my Samsung Plasma?
I believe that option is only available on international version.

Dammit! I figured . Oh well, i mean don't get me wrong for most of the time i love Sammy's punchy colors but there is times where id prefer a more "calibrated" realistic picture on the media i am viewing.
It is. I tried it a few days ago on the att version..it did nothing

Changing display mode to vibrant, standard and movie is available on int. version, but not on the one from at&t. But it wouldn't help your pinkish tint even if that feature was available... it appears to be a hardware (d)effect of some screens.
You may want to try Screen Adjuster app, if you haven't already. It can fix your tint issue at the cost of washing out the vibrant colors, a bit...
I think the OP is referring to a comment I made in another thread. I honestly don't know what's going on, but I know for a fact that I was able to change the video settings on my U.S.-spec Note. I was watching Netflix vids and I was comparing the video quality of the Note to my EVO 3D and iPod touch. I don't know how I did it, but I stumbled across a setting to change the playback video mode. Three options came up... I selected all three options to see if there was any difference. I remember thinking how cool it was that an option like that had been included. I have checked the settings of my other two devices, and neither of them let you do it, either. So I don't know if there was some strange update to my phone or Netflix that coincidentally happened over the last 48 hours, but I know I'm not making this all up. It's really frustrating because I have no way of knowing how I accessed that feature.

Very nice improvement over my EVO 4G.
The only negative is the fact I have to deal with the forced password from my IT policy again since I don't see any work arounds yet.
There is a reason for the forced password from your IT department if you want their exchange network to be open on your phone. Getting around it is just undermining the security your IT guys are trying to provide for their network.
Would you happen to have a cable to test HDMI mirroring?
How is the call quality?
after all the noise made over in Sprint forums ...lol...you got yours before me
So you like it pretty well so far? Got a nexus s and plan to swap for the 3d before my 30 days is up (signed up to get the port credit just in case they didnt extend it again, which i just looked and they did...)
Hopefully I wont have a problem with getting one in the next 3 weeks.

No HDMI cable yet.
Call quality seems fine. I don't use the phone much but I just called my dad and he said I sounded fine. He was in the bathroom taking a dump so a little bit of an echo on his end......for obvious reasons.

So far I really like it. Coming from the EVO 4G it isn't a 'huge' change so a lot of things are normal. It isn't like coming from a Blackberry. Love the sense 3.0.
Screen is really nice. Side by side with the EVO 4G you can really see the improvement. I'm not a big fan of the 3D because it messes with my eyes. It is cool...but not worth the headache for me.
Because of the higher resolution screen, the keyboard I normaly use (SmartKeyboard Pro) is stretched a little in landscaping and seems a little too small in portrait. I'll have to try a bunch of other ones. I wasn't too thrilled with the stock keyboard at first but I'll give it a few days.

There is nothing that is harmful to the company in my email or on my phone. Plus I run Lookout on my phone. If it goes missing, I log on and lock the phone. If I can't find it I do a remote wipe. My phone is by my side 24/7 so I know when it is missing within minutes.
The password just ruins the Sense experience. No point of having shortcuts on the lock screen when you have to type in a password.

I've been running a Sense 3.0 ROM on my EVO for weeks, and I have a passcode -- I would even if my employer didn't require it. The lockscreen is still extremely useful with a passcode. Sure, it's not immediate access, but it still decreases the amount of navigation to get to common tasks.

Call quality was good enough for me. I have never expected crystal clear calling from a cell phone. I think that expectation was set back in the days of older networks and crap phones. I can hear who I was talking to, there was no distortion, and nobody was complaining about how I sounded.
I will set it up on my Ford Sync system in my car today and test it then too.
Loving mine so far. 3D pics are uber cool, the 3D Video equally cool, can't wait to hook it up to the TV.
Only complaint - No flashlight app. Haven't tried any market ones yet though.

The background in that photo (which is barely visible anyway) just looks like a blueish galaxy. I doubt it'd be hard to find something similar, a quick image search returned this which doesn't look far off.

Reviews of phones in my opinion need at least a month of the phone being used.
People that post "reviews" a couple days after release are merely a "hands-on" video of the phone.

The portrait to landscape (vice versa) transitions?
Agreed to an extent. On my Nexus S running ICS the transition delay was 200ms and was changeable to up to 10ms.
I found that having a quick auto rotation could be sometimes frustrating because the screen would rotate when I didn't want it to, like when I put the phone down on the table.

It has NFC but my understanding is that it's not currently enabled in the stock software. Presumably this is a difficulty a custom ROM or kernel maker could rectify.

Purchased on another device and sideloaded the apk on my note. It works but the controls are shifted a few pixels up and right. Also I'd say about 75-100 pixel wide area on the left side of the screen is a clipped blur.
Still through 10-12 teams on the campaign. Controls are shifted but super smooth. Worth the cash and sideloading lol.

Didn't even check my email for the automated reply. That sucks, really no way to complain or ask to get a compatible version. just posted to twitter. guess we'll see if anything happens with that. playing with the screwy screen isn't too bad but the controls are much more fluid on even my friends evo so i know how amazing this would be fully functional on the note.
Change your build.prop! It will give you compatibility
change my build prop to what i want that game!
Had it installed on my previous phone, the Desire HD. Used Titanium Backup to restore it on my Roger's Note. No issues what so ever. Plays great! Sounds great! Looks great! If it matters it is version 1.00.38. You could try Samsung Nexus or Galaxy S2.

wish the controls were smoother...i bring my ipod touch to work every day just so i have that game to play on the crapper....id much rather play it on my note but because its not setup for our screen the buttons lack functionality. i find myself clicking over and over before one works

how did you get it to install on the Note? I read if you use the gesture controls it controls almost perfectly.
just downloaded and installed the apk from the internet
why would you ever wanna play this with gestures, takes all the fun out of it and now ur stuck swiping all around the screen
im rooted so downloading and installing straight from the phone is super easy but i cant play this in this current state to frustrating
so gave the game another shot, and couldnt put it down, yes the button pressing could be a bit cleaner/smoother but the updated graphics and roster had me hooked. plus going from a small iphone/ipodtouch this game is awsome on such a big beautiful screen.

I wish 1900 was active in my area (NJ/NYC), but it isn't. It's only active in a handful of places. If it was, I would have the One X already. I went to the T-Mobile store with cash in hand ready to pay full price for the gs3. My Amaze is good, but the short battery life is frustrating. I also would love a larger screen. After holding the two phones side by side, I cannot get past the blue screen when it should be white. Open a web page and compare the backgrounds of the Amaze or One X to the Gs3 and it is painful. I decided to suffer with my Amaze until HTC or someone else releases a new flagship with a great battery and a screen that shows white as white. Please be the One X+!!!.

I think the device in store had issues, I have a tmo s3 that's as white as white can be, no blue tint what so ever, so you should check back, even have em check the device you get specifically before you leave the store to be sure it's okay, mine is, well, PERFECT.
And I'm in NYC, it's not covering the entire NYC area as yet but my area is, so eh that's good enough for me.

I have checked multiple s3s from all the carriers, it's all of them. I am not imagining this, its a well documented problem. Just Google Galaxy s3 blue screen. If I had never seen the screen on my Amaze or the One X, I could probably have lived with it. But having seen what a proper display looks like, I can't bear to own an inferior product, even with its other advantages that I crave. For some people its not a big deal. I wish it wasn't a big deal to me, because other than the screen, the gs3is awesome!

I know what blue tint he's talking about, it's one of the things I hated most on my S2 and the Nexus had the same issue, though not so bad due to the higher pixel density but it was still there and when the screen was dimmed it got purple-ish, but as I said, the S3 totally changed that, that's why I give Sammy props on the screen quality, even the gorilla glass is flawless, two weeks without a screen protector and not a single nick, the first things I did when I first received my S3 was do the black background test like on the s2, it passed flawlessly, did the grey background test, same thing, did the play store test (my own personal observation/test I use), aced that as well, then I did the blank/black picture test, same result, I dimmed the screen to the lowest, blacks were still black, clean and well saturated, crisp cand clean, I even did the HD video test from the youtube app, it walked all over it, even though the pixel density is down a few pixels compared to the nexus, I have to say the screen is the best I've seen in a long time, hands down.

didnt have a nexus, but i did have an s2 for a few days and was disappointed i had to send it back because of the lines and blobs issue. this is my first REAL experience with a sammy phone and im not disappointed at all. your experience makes me feel a bit better about going with the amaze, but honestly, after almost 2 months with the s3, htc is going to have to REALLY impress me to get my money again. word is, sammy is working on the next GED nexus and im leaning towards it as my next phone.
either way, the screen on the s3 is untouchable imo. hell, even dedicated htc fanboy GG returned his one s to get the s3. to me thats saying something about how awesome the s3 is. if anyone is considering it, grab and you wont be disappointed :highfive:

The display issue on the s2 was the reason I left it for the amaze, the nexus was nice but I wasn't too big a fan then, when I went back to it before the s3, well it suited my basic needs since I just lost interest in fancy hardware and features, lol only reason I got the s3 was cause my buddy didn't like it so I gave him my nexus for it since he wanted back the nexus and well I'm so far satisfied, none of the old s2 or nexus issues/slack offs and well I don't use my phone much for anything but the basics to really care after running all my test and checking the device out.
I just want JB now and it's complete, though well my phone is so damn smooth I don't think I'll notice much of a difference.
