For some reason I remember seeing a feature where you could be with a group of friends and all taking pictures and they all shared to the each others gallery. I don't think it was s beam it was something where they were basically in a shared gallery. Can anyone help??
Open the camera and change shooting mode to 'Share Shot'. You need all your friends to have SGS3s for this to work.

Hopefully one of the devs can get photo share working on the s2. It's a great feature to just be locked to only the s3.

Hi!
I don't know if i should post this on galaxy ace forum because it's not about the galaxy ace itself. I'm sorry if i'm posting on the wrong sub-forum but you guys are the experts with galaxy ace.
I'll ask for your help anyway
Is it possible to turn an image into .apk? I would like to make some kind of app that shows me an image in full screen (320x480) on my SGA.
If the app already exists, can you tell me what app is that?
Thanks a lot
1. This should be in the general section
2. Isn't that what the Gallery app does?

You don't need to turn an image file to apk to make such app. You need to make an app to read, open, and show you image file(s). The gallery is already there. You can find bunch of the like apps in the market too, e.g. QuickPic.
What on earth for??
Hi all!
Thanks for your tips.
Perhaps i explained myself badly, i''m sorry.
I don't want to open a random picture with gallery. I want an app to open the SAME picture every time i open the app.
Imagine that you have a picture of your grandmother on your wallet, i want more or less the same thing on my phone
I just need press the app icon and voilá, my picture is shown in fullscreen. that's what i was looking for.
Yesterday i was watching some videos on youtube and i now have more or less the idea what i need to do to make such an app.
The problem is that i'm not very savvy with with Java and Android SDK and it will take me some time create the app that i need.

Are you using stock? Do you have 3DGallery?
Well... If so... I barely remember a widget that allows you to place an image wherever you want in your screan... Like having a photo frame on your desktop... I don't know if you know what I mean... But right now I can't remember the name of the widget... But id does pretty much what you are looking for

Im using ICS by jusada.
I don't have 3D Gallery, I didnt even know this app existed. The app seems cool and i like the concept of 3D Gallery but that's not what i was really looking for.
I'll try to search for that widget you are talking about.

Ok thanks
I've found an app "Android Photo Widget" that does more or less what i need.
I've added a new screen to SGA and with this widget i picked a photo for that screen.
The only problem is that the picture is always showing and i just wanted the picture to be shown after i press the app button. It does what i wanted, just not by the way i wanted but it's ok.
I'll keep looking for a better app anyway but this one does the job.
Galaxy S3 is packing several awesome features. I love all of them. But which one impresses you the most?
The question- Does SGSlll pack a voice lock? Because in the event the girl on the tv said 'wake up" and it did plus in the GSMarena review, when the man xplaining was in the lockscreen, the screen popped up with a message "Failed to recognise voice"....this was happening every time he was speaking.
Please hit "thanks" if yOU have your desired option in the poll...
I think the most impressive feature is the photo sharing in the camera app (don't know the official name). When turned on, other people with S3's can join using the camera app. Once joined photos taken will be available on everyone's phone. Eg. Your friend takes 5 photos, you take 5 photos. You both end up with 10 photos!
/edit Its called Share Shot
What if you cheat on your GF and SGS3 by mistake sends the pics to your GF of you having a good time?

Is S-beam compatible with other 4.0 phones or is android beam on the s3 aswel because it seems like a missed opportunity to limit s-beam to just the s3

I was pretty surprised to learn that Google didn't do it with the Galaxy Nexus back then, i always thought that establishing a Bluetooth or WiFi link through NFC was a "Well duh"-opportunity for transferring large files.
But no, S-Beam (i.e. using NFC to establish a WiFi-direct link and transfer large files) will only work on devices supporting S-Beam.
But it's probably relatively easy to add to AOSP or maybe even as an app.
So there's the standard sharing of small data packets with NFC (Android Beam), and then using it to set up WiFi-Direct and transferring lots of data (S-Beam).
Am I correct in thinking that the S-Beam app has retained this normal NFC functionality, while adding to it. For example, I can share a contact with any NFC phone, but in order to share a video I will need two phones with S-Beam?
I am sure that Android Beam will support setting up WiFi-Direct soon. At that point S-Beam is coming straight off my phone!

I'm actually curious to see which "beam" does what. My GS2 now has NFC and I was testing it the other day with my buddies GNex.. I started by sending a web page but then we tried YouTube videos.. it transferred ..and fast as hell too. Pretty neat stuff. It'll be neat to see what S beam has over android beam

You lost me. It didn't send a link, it sent the video. There was no need to click on a link after the video was sent. The video played automatically. You can slice it however you want, but it still sends the video. I touched to beam and it beamed.. video played on the other device, and yes, the actual video itself, not a link.
Sorry but I don't know what you mean by it didn't send the video. The video went from my phone to his. If that's not transferring a video from one device to the next then what is?

I think that's because Android Beam automatically handles certain bits of information in certain ways. If you send a YouTube link then the receiving phone recognises that it's a YouTube link, opens up the YouTube app and plays it. You are right when you say you don't have to click a link. It's done for you automatically.
Take for example the sharing of a location. It doesn't pop up with an address in a box, instead it recognises that it's an address and opens the Maps app automatically.
If you want to test whether it's truly sending the video then copy a file (.avi or something similar) to your sdcard and try to send that between phones. So long as it's not affiliated with YouTube I think you will find it wont work!

I guess I'm thinking about it in simple terms.. I pulled up a video, tapped beam, and video showed up on the other phone.. if sending the video works this way, what would be the benefit of trying to do the other way? (Also isn't it much easier to use beam, then to copy files and such to your SD card to send?) Why would you go through the trouble of doing that?..to show that its not actually sending the video? I just don't see the point. Especially if it works as is

Not every video in existence is on Youtube, maybe you want to share a video you recorded but don't want to share it with the rest of the world, S-Beam makes that possible.

Umm.. Have a little respect.
used my S3 to send this.
Android Beam, like previously stated just sends "links" and very small pieces of data like contacts. Android Beam (NFC) has a low transfer rate, therefore sending a video or a large picture - I cannot 'beam' a picture i've taken from my gnex to a GSII, I get the error that the file is too large. That being said, android beam does just send a direct link to the YouTube video you are sharing and the receiving device opens the YouTube video directly. S-beam in contrast uses wi-fi direct to send large files. S-beam, when being used between two GSII devices, will use NFC to open a connection to the receiving GSIII, negotiate to use wifi direct if it is a large file, then open a wifi direct connection between the two devices to send the data. using wifi direct the GSIII is able to transfer large files at very fast transfer rates, up to 300MBs i believe.
NFC , android beam, is only capable of sending small amounts of data, like stated above. Hopefully, and I havent searched yet so it may be in the works now, Android Beam will incorporate the same functionality of S-beam and open a wifi direct connection between any two devices that support NFC and wifi direct. Personally, I dont understand why this isnt already implemented with Android Beam, but i'm sure this will be possible very soon. S-Beam, to me, seems pointless unless you know a whole lot of people who have GSIII's. I'm sure most phones coming out will have NFC support, so being able to transfer videos. pics, etc via NFC and WiFi direct will be a very appealing feature.
I bought the GSIII for my girlfriend this week, being that i only know a few people who have Galaxy Nexus' i have only used the Android Beam feature a few times and this was just to see how it worked. I was very disappointed when I found that I couldnt transfer pics to my girlfriends GSIII with my nexus.... HUGE let down.

why posting a new thread, if general chat is there, dont you juniors learning nothing?
look in the playstore for that kind of stuff
I'm going to leave this open and in Q&A for now. OP there are dozens of photo apps and album viewers in the Playstore. Most offer a free version to try before purchasing the full version. Please search next time and try some out for yourself. Personally I love Quickpic as a photo viewer, but others may not like it. There are so many options and each person is different. Try some and make your own decision, that is part of the fun of
Hi!
Quickpic is a bit faster than other gallery and has some useful option, like fix maximum light when opening a pic. But I experimented a lot of problem with it. If you have more than 1 videos on your SD Quickpic will give you a lot of crash.
So I choose "Gallery ICS" which is very simple and doesn't show any problem.
Yea I would recomend QuickPic too D its better that any other
