I've only just uploaded some video I took of my daughter, and everything has come out flipped 90 degrees, even though I took the video the right way up on the phone ?
It even plays correctly in the phone ?
Is this correct ?

That seems to be the way the camera works. Not sure why. I use Windows Live Movie Maker to rotate the video after the fact. It will be skinnier due to resolution changes but at least it's straight.
For future reference if you take the video with your phone rotated counter clockwise 90 degrees the video will auto rotate with the phone plus it will upload to computer correctly. Hope that helps.

Hi, I recently bought a HD2. So far it's been fine & I've enjoyed looking at all the posts & tweeks that are available for it, on these boards.
I have a query though I recorded a 15sec video in portrait, the other day & transferred it to my computer, it played fine, & the right way up.
Since then, I think, I do the same thing, but all the videos come out in landscape mode even though recorded in portrait & when I transfer them to my computer they are on their sides.
I know I can rotate them using 'w movie maker' but what I can't understand is why the 1st one came out correctly & the rest 90 degrees out.
Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong?
TIA
Is there any way to record video while holding the phone vertically and the video would still be right side up when playing it back?

Pardon me, but what settings do you need for that? Just hold your phone "vertically"...

lol.. the video is gonna be the wrong way then, innit? People are gonna be sideways in the video and the resolution would be 480x640 instead of 640x480..

If you transfer and watch the video on your PC, people ARE going to be sideways (actually, everything is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise), but the resolution stays 640x480. As long as you play the video on your phone, you'll see exactly what you filmed, in the exact position in which you held the phone. The auto-rotate function in lgCamera doesn't work for me either.
So: no, you can't video record at 640x480 holding the phone vertically. This is just another reason for the Optimus One to be four times cheaper than an iPhone, I guess.

Greetings XDA.
I have a slight problem with HDMI output that i am hopeing can be solved.
My TV Will not work at any resolution if it is running in 60Hz. Works for about 5 mins then degrades massivly untill i no longer can use the TV. Multi colourd lines flood the TV untill the tv is again flooded by a single colour static. (Think an old CRT TV with no arial attached) No idea what the problem is, or how to fix it. Same issue with games consoles and my PC. But i can get around that by outputing to 50Hz from my PC. All is well and works fine.
Tried my phone with HDMI output and it only seems to want to output at 720 60Hz. Which would be fine, but the TV as said above will not run in 60Hz for very long.
I cant replace the TV, as i have no money to buy a new or even second hand one.
I was hopeing that there was some way i could tell the phone to output at 50Hz. (Something like this app which i have tried but it didnt seem to detect my tv http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501414)
Preferebly without root, as its a contract phone and im unsure what the terms are.
Thanks in advance, hopefully i can get any answer. Cookies for all if i can get it to work!!
acess service menu
*#*#7378423#*#*
service tests>HDMI test>HDMI settings and change resolution/freq and set want you want
You sir are a legond! I cant see or seem to set a 50Hz option but these are the options i have:
1080P 60. This works to a point. i get the degrading the same as before. Which is odd as my tv is only 1080i.
1080p 30 Doesnt work, no picture output
1080p 24 Doesnt work, no picture output
720P 60 Works but this is the default i was having problems with.
SD Works flawlessly. It runs at 480p 60. TV seems very happy with it. Text seems a little blurry but the picture quality is still fantastic for me. Have ran 3 youtube videos and so far no degrading!
Only issue i see now is getting it to save that setting as the default. When i remove the HDMI , and plug it in again it resets back to 720P 60. I can go back into the service menu and change it to SD again. But i was now wondering is there a way i can make it default or shortcut the service menu/setting.
Anyhoo, you have fixed my problem! Where shall i send your cookies.
am no expert, but I'm learning, and not cost me anything to help.
on my xperia U i have the same option as you.
really is not worth having more options
is not worth getting default
excuse my bad English but im Portuguese
I've been searching the internet and this forum for a couple days now, as well as messing around with my v10. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to lower the resolution. I want to lower the res so that I can send videos via text. Does anyone know how to do this? Seems like it should be easier than this. Am I missing something???

From my experience and I ran a quick test just now, if you use the native camera app, go into manual video mode and choose settings, then lower your bitrate to L, resolution to the lowest, and fps to 24. When on those setting a 23 second video came out at 18.52 megs. When I had bitrate set to medium, resolution at the same (lowest), and fps at 30, a similar 23 sec video was 34.20 megs. Almost double. Now I realize that both sizes are still going to be compressed to hell sending through a text/messaging app so you could also try recording and sending a video through included functions of whatever app you use.
Hi everyone. I have owned the Tab S3 for several weeks now, and it's definitely a great tablet.
One thing I have not been able to do/confirm yet is playing HDR video.
I don't have an amazon prime video membership (I'm already paying enough for streaming services!), so that avenue is closed off. However, I've tried to follow the details this thread (intended for S8 phone users but also meant to work for the Tab S3) to get some HDR video playing, and as far as I can tell it's not working.
The S8 thread has some HDR videos that I've downloaded, and I've used the Samsung Video Library player app, but I don't get any confirmation that the videos are playing in HDR. Supposedly there's meant to be some "HDR" text that shows when the controls are visible and a HDR video is playing, but I get nothing. I've tried putting the videos in internal memory and on a (very fast) SD card, I've tried renaming the file extensions, I've tried changing the tablet display settings, I've tried downloading the video library app from the google play store and then the samsung app store... but as far as I know, the videos are not playing in HDR.
Part of the problem is probably the lack of Android video player apps that can play HDR, even the netflix app, which is pretty frustrating. But as far as I can tell, I should be able to play some HDR stuff with the instructions from the S8 thread.
Has anyone else been able to get this working? It's pretty frustrating having such a great screen and not being able to use it fully.
I can confirm your experiences on QF3 firmware. Files from the S8 thread works fine on S8 (and my LG E6 OLED tv). But no go on the Tab S3. Hopefully Samsung will enable it in a future firmware update...

On the Tab S3? Yes, the colors are washed out and plain wrong (worse than the same clip in SDR would be), which is normal when playing a 10bit or HDR file on a device without the proper codec/decoding capabilities.

That's interesting.
I have the BBC Planet Earth series on my tab and I thought the colors were great. These are 4K HDR episodes where one file is 14-15 gb.
But reading this thread has me wondering if I'm missing something...

Just noticed a thread in the android subreddit.
Supposedly there's a new update going out for the youtube app that is enabling S8 users to get HDR video playback. Hopefully the Tab S3 will get something similar!! Fingers crossed.

HDR Works. In Netflix it's conspicuous but you will notice easily in Daredevil church scenes then download 4k x265 HDR file of the same epsiode. I did this with punisher. Yep torr me did yesh. The initial episode where he burns the jacket and also the sandwich scene with the water tank in rear. Although I did note it seemed to be 1080p in Netflix.
The file played on Samsung player but audio was 7.0 so not supported. So I used MX player but note this doesn't seem to support HDR but I couldn't see the difference. If they haven't stated HDR support specifically for devices which have capable displays (google mobile HDR premium devices) then it isn't there. Only the Samsung gallery will activate the HDR display and the video app from Galaxy Apps won't.
Amazon is another story it works wonders and if you turn the volume up with physical key and with no controls or options but only clean video playing you will see it turn greenish instead of regular blue... You can minimise as it plays and see your home screen as the HDR of display is active. This is a hardware solution and with Amazon being a firm partner to us it will come as no surprise but we won't provide support for hdr10+ support fully atleast until 2019.
Netflix now is a software HDR that means it doesn't activate the HDR display but setting up cinema mode in display settings will do the trick but the volume turn green test won't work here. Only the video will be HDR and if you do anything that is UI interaction thus HDR is immediately disabled by the AMOLED CINEMA setting.
This is how all of this works. But hey, Dolby Vision is costly no wonder only the s8 competitor had it and not the note 8 one as that guy's screen is P-OLED and blotchy

Boy have I got an answer for y'all love this one...
Ok so MX player has H.265 10bits see attached pic. I had this Spiderman movie (see attached for details). So I figured finally this had to work. Now this Spiderman Homecoming is a HDR file.
Previously I used to use MX player with 1080p 10bit and 12bit files obviously 12bit didn't work works on pc but I didn't know back then you'd need a 12 bit display aka Dolby Vision compatible basically.
Back to it then...
So look at this scene of spiderman in SW and HW+ it's astonishing, the difference.
I have not seen such differences with 1080p 10bit display but back then I didn't have tab s3 so no wonder I was foolin myslef haha.
So when Tom Holland aka Peter Parker is removing his clothes you can cleary see the stark contrast. I set 100 brightness and AMOLED CINEMA because apparently Adaptive Mode is really bad and I keep reading ya gotta do this. HDR or not color modes are always working on anything. So true HDR COLOR doesn't mean you can't set color modes. But the Cinema one probably has the Industry standard for HDR gamut like DCP3 for Photoshop and such.
That's it folks, enjoy knowing you're making the best use of the gorgeous display but it gotta be h265 HDR so probably a mkv.
Also the Samsung player from galaxy apps couldn't play 5.1 or 7.1 AC3 and such audio so I had to go for MX thankfully now I found out it's all GOOD. But still Amazon I think does its on thing coz when you increase volume the bar turns green instead of the blue for HDR videos. ( Also attached)
I took the spidey pic on OnePlus 5 with HDR ON, attached that too.
Thus CONCLUSIVE!
A side note the Colors of a HDR video on a non compatible display will look worse than a normal SDR video which means yeah when you try to play a HDR file it will look that washed out which makes it worse so don't bother playing HDR videos on non HDR devices!
By the way 50 shades darker Unrated UHD HDR is such a treat but unfortunately my external hard disc gave up right before I was about to take a pic of Christian taking Ana on his shoulder to the swimming pool at the end of the movie.
That scene truly shows HDR capabilities on my TAB S3.
When they are on the stairs it's like I'm there too. The feeling ya know if you claustrophobic of darkness you'll feel it. Dolby Vision would be better I suppose but HDR is still felt just not ya know perfect so yeah.
I hope the hard disk works again I'm Leaving it untouched to a day.
It made a click sound but it also does then when you unplug the wire after unmount so pray for me thanks and enjoy... God damn it my whole 1.5 TB of HDR collection was on that!
Ok so I tried something it was a flop apparently screen grab doesn't capture HDR I used AZ screen recorder.
Anyways have a look but by pics you can see it's HDR.
I'll add another one taken from a camera.
That should show the difference but why doesn't XDA app let me upload videos always go to network error...
And no it's not my network problem!
p.s. the golden pic is how it looks fell in love with her all over again all were HDR shots on OnePlus tab brightness was 100 percent the exposure is different of phone camera that's why they look different
Here you are. Hope you're able to discern the difference.
Also just noticed in Samsung player when I did max battery save and player a HDR video since auto rotate is off when you click on the rotate there is a split second of washed out color.
This goes to show that HDR hardware of the Screen gets off when video is not playing it's like turning the HDR on and off in windows 10 display settings.
Suffice it to say 4k will not display in 4k but 1440p for local files though it does look sharper than a native 1440p file. Amazon prime video only goes up to 1080p and so does netflix because it supports only HD, SUPERHD AND 4K. I rest my HDR case Tab S3 SCREEN is better than my KU6470 TV!

Thank you. So basically this is an example of false advertisement by Samsung, because there is no true HDR on Netflix on Samsung's mobile devices. I have a Galaxy S9 and can confirm that. HDR videos on Netflix look dark and dull.
