Newbie introduction and one happy Galaxy S owner!

Hi guys,
Been a long time reader but a first time poster! Kudos to the forum as its been more then useful many times when i had problems.
I am Australian currently in Germany. And just last week got the Samsung Galaxy S, unbranded and unlocked. Love that SAMOLED screen!
Have to say that i had no problems until now with GPS as its been spot on since day one. Using Copilot 8. Not sure if it was first batch of phones that was affected or what but mine seems to be as i said spot on. I dont use google navigation so can not comment on that.
Also i am photographer so i will be looking into bringing some hight quality wallpapers, if there is still someone out there preferring them over the live wallpapers
Cheers
Vlad

Photo Funia, I believe, is what you're talking about Also, there's photoshop express and many other interesting free apps!

Thanks for the welcome guys! Yup i am aware of many wallpaper apps but they just dont cut it for me. I prefer my own photos
Will post back once i process the wallpapers.

Nope, not photo funia. Thats a camera kinda app, the app i'm thinking of is like a interactive ebook for photographers with help on settings ,f stop calcs and stuff like that. Prob best photography app I found (not camera)
Ahh, Found it, "PhotoFluent" 1.0.2

I've chopped two photos and they do look stunning on this SAMOLED screen!
Problem is i cant post the url to my flickr account
Cheers

Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=766241

I think all that fixes is the sending/receiving. I've looked everywhere and can't figure out how to stop the pictures from being compressed so much. I found one thing but it involved a lot of steps in terminal in Linux which I know nothing about.

What build are you using?

What about heat production? Does it get hot when using apps like navigation, or when you're charging it?

I don't have any technical specs other than that it's definitely Gorilla Glass. It doesn't like my fingerprints though, that's for sure!

If that's the case then no, it doesn't. But I don't have sweaty hands, so who knows!

Yes there are some fingerprints on there but not loads and loads. I don't think it's too different from other phones currently on the market, definitely not 100% oleophobic.

I disagree. Why not put your points of view in the earlier posting? Make a single thread as it were, for opinions on version 2 of the camera. Thanks both for posting this news however.
And by the way, it's definitely NOT a phone. It's a camera!

[Q] Looking for video review with pie-chart

I remember seeing a video review of the Note 4 with a heavy focus on the s-pen and s-note. I specifically remember the reviewer creating a pie-chart with sections for Android, iOS/iPhone and BB. He also demonstrated turning a drawing in to an editable shape.
Now I want to watch this review again, but can't find it. Does anyone recognize what I'm talking about and know what review it is? Please post a link to it if you do!
Thanks in advance

I don't know this video but my samsung galaxy apps recently updated Easy Chart and Idea Sketch Easy chart had that pie chart that you speak of. I updated it and it told me to use it through S Notes HTH

Thanks, so that confirms that the video review was about S Note. Now I just need to find the actual video...

In this video at around the 6 min mark there is a demonstration of easy chart.
