I'm not sure if this applies to android, but there is a sort of "anti piracy" measure that comes with how video files are played on windows and mac systems. taking a screenshot of your desktop always returns a black screen of where the video is at. There are some softwares out there for pc and mac that can override the settings, but I do not know of one for android. There's probably one, i just dont know it.
I've used an app called "freeze frame" to do what you want.
Sony has an application on the market for this called Frame Grabber

Does anyone else have a problem with the youtube app, being that it doesn't choose to watch videos in HQ by default. For each video I find my self racing in the menu to choose watch in high quality before the video starts. If I don't do it quick enough, the play time toggle pops up and I end up fast forwarding to the end, and then having to go to the menu again.. Why can't youtube just play HQ by default on my beautiful screen?? Anyone else feel my pain?

Use the mobile website. It's better.
Hmmm my Vibrant seems to default to HQ. Wonder why? I did just get it yesterday.
If your on wifi it defaults to hq if your on data it uses lq.
It happens to me too. I just use www.m.youtube.com
Much better and you can see new videos from your subscriptions.

I hear that in 2.2 samsung will add a HQ button so you dont have to rush to the menu.

Anyone have a better option for Facebook then the Android Market place app? It keeps having an error when i try to do mobile uploads and in general is not very good. Thanks in advance

Yes Facebook is not the best. I have no problems uploading images, but the no landscape mode for the home screen, as well as not being able to click youtube links really annoys me.
I think facebook just needs to buckledown on this. With android being the most sold phone os in the past 6 months... yeah facebook lets update that app, becasuse right now it sucks.

Hi
Try the app 'bff photo' for uploading pictures & video works very well. Videos cant be uploaded from the web page using phone. But as fazzibear said the web site is best as screen is big enough.

I agree! Facebook app is not very good.

I have tried this one. Not that helpful for Arc (maybe we need more options in the slide bar?)
IIRC, the write/read speed was 5/15 MB/s before I use SD speed increase. And after trying 1k,2k,3k, and 4k buffer, the read speed is about the same (4.8~5.7) and probably have a slight boost at the first second of writing. The read speed increased a bit to 17~20 MB/s.

For me sometimes after putting new photos or videos on my arc, it doesnt refresh gallery and all pictures are empty. I need to hit taskkiller and reopen gallery to fix that one, maybe we've got same prob.
Maybe the gallery thumbnails are bugged, causing a strange behaviour(albums appearing and dissapearing). You can erase them this way:
Go to SD(with Astro or similar) - Android - Data - com.sonyericsson.gallery - delete "cache" folder.
Then restart the gallery and let it load everything.
I hope it helps.
The stock android gallery is pretty slow and dreadful, it used to cause my htc hero to grind to a halt, and it's still not exactly snappy on the arc.
If you want a fast gallery app, try quickpic from the market.
Still got the problem... cant take screenshots on phone either so cant show how it looks. Ive put a 32gb card into the phone would that make a difference?? just took about 10 pics tonite and cant view any of them.... broken image thumbnail pic.
finally i found my solution!
my scans found no media, nothing in the gallery, nothing in the music player and i was going crazy, but then i found this:
If there is a (possibly empty) file named ".nomedia" (without quotations, and make sure you put the dot as the first character) in a folder of your card, then this folder WILL NOT BE SCANNED (if there is a .nomedia in the root of the SD card, then the SD card will NOT be scanned).
So make sure you delete any unwanted of those and then try
"Rescan Media" by Aditya Talpade (android market)
Disable Facebook inside Xperia, if you dont want to suffer from gallery load times, the gallery tries to sync a new folder called "new from friends" each time.
I didn't have a problem with the gallery till I got the 2.3.4 update. Like most, I have the same problem, it takes time to open a snap. Sometimes it's displayed as a broken image.
What would be the best alternative to the stock gallery app?
I've got one other problem. I had formatted my phone a month back. Before that, I backed up my photos. When I transferred them back, the order got messed up in the gallery and so are the dates. Anyway to rectify that?

Under a low light setting it obviously doesn't work.
Maybe it should set the screen as white to try to act as a light?
Also, no feature to use it in replacement for a lock screen

It allows for a password bypass.
At least try it before you knock it.

i tried this last weekend when i saw a similar post. it seemed to take 2-3 seconds, no matter how good the pic. but with a pattern/lock, i could have the app/device unlocked in >1sec. so it has a HUGE cool factor, but it takes more time than its worth IMHO
I played with this app, I found it works well, however, the implementation could use another option.
Right now you basically choose any apps you want to lock, and if you launch any of those apps you have to wait a few seconds for the face to get recognized and the program let you in, which is a pain in the ass, forcing you to wait a few seconds to open a program.
There is not option to unlock on phone wake, which is what the main feature of the program should be, IMHO, so that you can just unlock on waking the phone and be done, otherwise it's a bit of a headache waiting to be unlocked on per-app basis.
Mind you, once you unlock on any app you can be unlocked to use the other apps that use the face recognition to lock. Still being forced to wait on app launch, I do not like.

ya but if you uninstall the app and re-install you'll need their email and password to set the app back up if its google voice or a gmail account or something like that. Google voice would be the app i would want locked so nobody can see the messages i have... so if they uninstall and re-install they wont get my messages still without my info.. Good application
Has anyone here been able to record or figured out a way to create a slow motion vid with normal speed sections? Maybe with a normal speed ending or beginning? I have seen this feature on the new iphones and I hear its on the HTC one, so im thinking there is no way our Notes cant do this.
Im still doing some research but I know there has to be some vid editing app that will allow us to do this.
Here is my example for those who don't know what im talking about. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=313757172096065&set=vb.198201020359277&type=2&theater
