[Q] S pen Scrapbooker

Don't know if I'm missing something here but I can't seem to save video to scrapbooker using my s pen. When I try an do it I draw the circle and it just saves the image not the video. Anyone else having this problem or am I just doing something wrong!

Yeah I had that issue. I read it's due to the recent update to YouTube. But the alternate route to take is hitting the share button of the YouTube video and share it to your scrapbook that way.

I've tried several 4k videos and there was no lag/stutter or issues with regards to overheating.
Try an alternative video player? I recommend BS Player, excellent player. Plays every format and even supports subtitles. :laugh:

MX Player is also awesome. I bet it also boils down to codec, bitrate, size etc. so keep that in mind.

1. YouTube compresses all videos, so you're not getting full quality
2. The Android YouTube-app only supports 720p.
3. Download a genuine 4K video and transfer it to your Ultra. YouTube is ****ty for this purpose.

I tested a little but really don't know much about video. Did notice tubemate will let you choose 4k to download but uses another app to prices it for storage , then MX will only use s/w decoding to play it. Dolphin browser with hacked flash player will play 4k from YouTube but then I have poor network for tested.

Doesn't help. The resolution will be "4K", but it won't be near full quality. You won't get true untouched 4K from YouTube. Google " 4K test file" or something instead, and do not use streaming services to test video quality.

Yeah never overheated or lagged when playing 4k content my Z ultra. Only thing i noticed was that sometimes it caused the homescreen to redraw when i pressed home. Sometimes.

You may be playing true 4k or above. Some devices won't even play videos that have resolutions higher than 4k. Try 3840 x 2160 for example.

YouTube uploads look horrible

I uploaded directly to YouTube from my S5, and it looks awful. In gallery, it looks great. I recorded it in 1080P. I made sure HD was on in YouTube, and I searched the settings high and low for a quality setting, but nothing. What gives??

How horrible? It won't look as good as on your phone because YouTube compresses everything and is limited to 30 fps

There's definitely a big difference. I played it back on my phone and TV and it's not nearly as good as the original quality

I uploaded a video on Facebook that looked like crap.

Idk about other places but I do believe you have to wait for HD when uploading to youtube. Since they process every video so it can play in 240p all the way up to whatever resolution you upload at.

Deleted photos reappear after reboot or a few hours

Just got my new Z2 a few days ago. Love the phone but a few quirks though. The main one - photos reappear after they have been deleted after a reboot or after waiting a few hours.
Steps to reproduce.
1. Take a picture with the stock camera app
2a. Delete it immediately from the camera app and also delete it from the trash within the Google Photos app.
2b. or go into the Sony album app and delete it from there.
3. Reboot the phone
4. Open the Sony album app. Voila... the picture is back again.
Can someone verify this behavior for me? Any suggestions?

ive found that with .55 and .402 firmwares there is a media scanning issue/app function issue
i dont think there is much to do besides deleting the pic using xplore, xplore app adds to the media info hence it should disapear from the album all together

Thanks!! I'm using Solid Explorer and will definitely try deleting from a file explorer. Funny thing is that if I delete the reappeared photo via eg. the Sony album app (so deleting it for the second time) it does go away permanently.
Do you reckon this is going to be solved via a firmware update? Or do I need to go hobby around the issue myself?

Found it. I had set the storage location to my SD within the camera app. Changed that back and the issue of reappearing pictures is gone. That all my widgets and live wallpaper were destroyed in the process got me even more paranoid about this firmware, but hey that's solvable too
Thanks for the help.

What do you think of lollipop?

I downloaded yesterday and don't see much of a difference. Can you tell me what i should be looking for?

Wishing it had come with App Pinning and Multi User Accounts. Those are two of the benefits I was looking forward to.

can anyone confirm if the update supports DNG raw files for the camera?
There is already a thread discussing extensively the new Lollipop update.

On that note, I'm closing this thread.
