Hi, when I set a timer for the camera in selfie mode or using the back camera, I only get an audible timer, but no visual countdown timer on the screen. Has anyone come across this before and is it a setting that has to be done? Thanks
OK I figured it out already. LOL. I turned off all the animation settings in the developer settings and that's why the visual countdown timer wasn't showing.

I want to lower the brightness setting for it, but it seems to have a preset brightness setting other than my system brightness setting..
Umm, while a video is playing menu/settings/brightness.

I was guessing that's it, but nothing shows up when I press the option button...I reinstalled the tw video player app, but still no menu popping out when I press option buttpn while a video is playing
The brightness option is disabled in the video player if "auto brightness" in enabled in system settings.
good day.
Go to your home screen and then menu, setting, display
Change the brightness then go back to the video

thanks for the reply. I meant 'nothing shows up' by no pop-up for settings show up on the screen when I press option button
Is it possible to tweak autofocus to tune shutter after the countdown timer not before?
The idea is that after pressing the camera shutter button focus tune on the object before him. And assuming that I want to do myself a sweet photo I have to somehow set the scene. Unfortunately, focus is already tuned to something else and have blurry pictures.
In my Galaxy S first the timer counts down to and then set the autofocus. It can be done on Galaxy ACE? Probably have to tune up .apk, but I can not do that ... Please help a wise head.
Sorry for my terrible lang :shy:
tryed to touch the "something else" on the screen before start timer?
ps seems that doesn't work, but with camera 360 do it right (I've tried with v3.0).
Everytime I playback videos i've filmed they look very dim, yet if I hit backup it momentarily shows the video at its correct brightness level. Plus also the preview of the video is at the correct brightness level.
I've tried changing a few of the phones Display settings but nothing seems to stop this from happening. If anyone has any ideas it'd be appreciated.
Go into a video, pause it, hit menu and change the brightness from inside the player, disable auto-brightness as well while you are at it.
Ahh got it. I was doing that but initially could only see a few options, this time though I tried scrolling down and saw a load more including settings where I was able to disable auto brightness. Thanks.
I just got my LG G Watch yesterday, and I noticed last night when you leave it with the "always on" option where it dims the screen way down, that in the dark I can see the screen flickering. I tried all the different brightness levels in Settings to see if that would change it, but does not. Can anyone else confirm this? You'll have to get in pitch black environment to see this.
Also, is there a way to turn off the "shake n wake", where it turns the screen on from motion? I tend to sleep with a watch on, and noticed this watch is very sensitive to (or that I flop around like a fish when I sleep.. that's possible too) motion, and I'd rather be able to set it in "touch to wake" mode.

I haven't noticed any flickering on mine, but I may just not be as sensitive to it. You can disable the 'wake by motion' function by muting the watch. (Pull down from the top of the screen)

Thanks for the tip on muting to stop the motion sensor from activating the watch. I find it very sensitive and just sitting at my desk working tends to make it constantly wake up. Muting also turns off vibration so I miss when a notification comes to the watch. Maybe in an OS update or possibly a Developer will enhance the settings so you can still get vibration alerts, but turn off motion wake.
Is there a way to disable the adaptive screen brightness when the camera app is in use? The current behavior is completely screwed up as can be seen with the following simple example - on a bright sunny day outside point the camera up toward the sky. The brightness of the entire screen drops precipitously making it very difficult to see what is on the screen - not just the image, this is understandable, but also controls, histogram, etc. Then point it at your feet and watch the whole screen light up.
And while we are talking screwed up, pay attention 5onwhat the histogram display is doing during this exercise.
Update: This can be papered over well with Tasker, until the time Samsung fixes this oversight.
I created a "Routine" to change the those settings when the camera app opens, and to reverse it when the camera app closes.
Routine are very powerful, check in the settings

Yes, did the same with entry and exit tasks to set/reverse. First time I had used Tasker in at least 5 years.
