Camera shortcuts - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever I set up camera shortcuts in the camera app, leave the camera, and come back to it, the shortcuts are gone. I had the same issue on my Galaxy Note. Is there any way to get them to stay? I don't see any option to save configuration or anything.

I have the same problem on my GS3. Not sure what the fix is. Used to get similar problems in my old HTC Desire Z but that was linked to the internal sd card un mounting randomly which the SGS3 shouldn't be doing.

Gallery Lag.

Does anyone else find that their stock photo gallery sometimes hangs? Sometimes it takes about 5 seconds to open, and other times it just hangs at the "loading" screen.
ps. I've only got about 50 photos in there.

Yes. Mine has delay and lag too. Just bought it yesterday.

I've noticed this problem a few times here and there. I just kill the process using advanced task killer and then its near instant again. I think the gallery just gets stuck at times. You may see it running in the built in task manager then close it and try again. Usually works after the task is killed for me anyway

I get some hangs in the Gallery app too, but not as long as 5 seconds.
What bothers me the most is that after uploading an image through Kies Air, I need to quit the Gallery app completely and reopen it for the new image to show up.
I've also had this problem intermittently. Twice I waited more than a minute and ended up rebooting to get the gallery loading again otherwise it just hangs.

I think you just need to force a manual "media scan" to get image changes to be picked up. The app ScanMedia is great for that purpose
The Gallery pauses are probably due to a background media scan running to pick up image changes on the "sdcard" partition. Google should fix this... esp since HTC Gallery can do the scan without pausing.
yeh I get it to, little annoying but doesn't bother me to much atm
The problem does seem to be intermittent, but it does get annoying when I have to reboot the device to get it to open back up again. Hopefully there will be a patch in an upcoming update.
I have noticed that if I save picture from some wallpaper app or from internet browser, the picture doesn't show up in the gallery. I am not actually quite sure what to do to make it show up. My only solution has been restart or then using some other gallery, like just pictures. Also there I have to press refresh gallery to get the new pics showing. This is annoying as hell.
I have over 200 photos in my gallery also have 10 videos...doest lag or hang for me...
Pda ke2 un rooted

found the gallery app extremely laggy while using my hd2 as well... switched to quickpic and never looked back again.

The problem is the Data Network Mode. Deactivate it and you will notice a big improvement!
Yep its awful, I use quickpic now its tons better

yes QP is great even on the lower spec phones, like my SF, but on the SGS2 doesn't QP break the ability that allows you to set a different wallpaper on the lockscreen ? or are you just running both side by side ?
sometimes gallery doesn't launch the pics at all so have to exit it and re open! only occasionally tho.
Just open quick pic and then long press the picture and select set as, then lockscreen and then poof, it is set
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Agreed, quickpic is awesome.
The gallery app is laggy to open, and then far too fast once it's open, it's like the phone is too fast for it.
Installed quickpic and never looked back.
no, that doesn't work for me..

If I do what you state above all works up to 'set as', the only options i get under 'set as' in QP are to set as QP Wallpaper or contact icon...
Mine lags as well. But not all the time though.

Is this another f****k bug ????

Sup guys, I was just wondering if this is a bug and if there is a way to fix it.
Ok when I restart the EVO 3D, all the apps that I have move to the SD, and I have in the 5 screen or in folders they loss like their picture and show a them andorid waving at u.

It's a problem HTC is aware of I believe.
Just change scenes, from personalize menu, and change back and your icons will show up.
Yes its an issue with Sense. You can either move the programs back to the phone and their picture will show up or you can go to your themses settings and just reapply your current themes to make the proper application picture to show up.

Google chrome

Hi guys
Anyone else having trouble with chrome? I noticed it came with the phone so gave it a go but it seems to be missing bits.
Evertime I startvit comes up with takeca tour as I cant seem to set a home page. Browsing works and I can set bookmarks ect but when I read the help section it says to use the menu button on the search tab....there isnt one lol only the new tab button and search. The pics in the help section and app page on the market show the top as blue too yet mine is gray. Am I missing something here????
can you take a screen grab?
Works like charm and the effects are awesome when switching between windows

Nope works like a charm.....however I did notice this issue at first but with a quick reboot it works all fine

Mine works fine, only thing I'm missing is the smoothness of samsungs browser.
When I scroll and zoom in/out in chrome it is responsive but seems to be skipping frames, while samsungs browser is really smooth.
One reason that I've stopped using it looks like it doesn't support Full Screen mode, is that so or just that I'm unable to find it in the settings? .

[Q] Move Live Wallpaper to new phone?

Just got the Note 2. My last phone was the HTC Rezound. I loved the live wallpaper that were available, especially one called slide show. This allowed my home screen to cycle through photos, so my homescreen changed backgrounds automatically from the album I picked. It shows up as com.htc.android.image_wallpaper with TiBu on Rezound. Tried to restore it to the Note 2 but didn't work.
Anyone know if it is possible and can I just copy those two files to move the Live wallpapers from my old phone and make it available on my new Note 2?
TIA.

Thanks. The guy on the video has a very deep accent. I had to replay it like 5 times, but picked up a few words on name of the app and searched it. FX photo Live wallpaper. Not exactly what I wanted but an alternative.

[Q] Quick Camera without Unlocking?

Hi guys,
First of all, i hate the iphone, but there's one thing i admire - the ability to open the camera without unlocking the phone (when a pattern/pin lock is present). I would like this ability within the S3... (rooted obviously)
I know about widget locker, but I don't believe this will allow camera access still without unlocking??
Lots of very capable devs on the S3, was wondering if its a possible mod to create?
Thanks
hello, I also would like it.
Coming from iphone too.
I saw a CyanogenMod 10.1 on a galaxy S2 that allows this. Hope ^^
Go to settings - security and lockscreen - lock screen options - turn on camera quick access..
Rotate the device in lockscreen while touching the screen to launch camera
Hope it helps...

This doesn't allow you to open the camera app without unlocking the phone first. If it did, would be awesome!! Love that motion

Nope this takes me straight to the pattern lock that i must enter, then after i unlock it will open the camera app..
same request here.
the method coming closest to the desired behaviour so far was possible on my previous android phone while using MIUI. there, an application based lock is implemented in the system (not through an additional app). MIUI is currently not an option for me, though, for other reasons.
i prefer my APEX/Raubkatze modified stock ROM.
cheers,

I'm running CM 10.1 and this is definitely possible because I use this feature all the time. When my screen is locked I slide from the right to access the camera. I do not need to put in my pin.
You can add pages or change what they are in the lock screen by first locking your device, then when you see the keypad simply swipe it away. When its moved down just tap and hold an empty space and add a page. Put the camera on one of those pages and its done - use the camera app without unlock.
