Oh dang! Thanks a lot for catching that! Fixing now.

Looks pretty good. I think you should figure out a way to mount a camera in a solid location and then put your hand/phone against a hard surface to reduce the movement. You do a pretty good job keeping it still but you can see the issues where the focus drops out and some of the phone's screen gets washed out.

Cool site man!

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

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!

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.

[Q] You Tube Review

Hey guys there was a You Tube review of the One and I believe it was against the GS4 by an Indian woman. I have searched hi and low and can not find it to save my life. She had mentioned something about getting a cup of coffee and doing the review. She did a great job also with the camera comparisons she showed the lack of dark details on the Galaxy phone, she was also very pretty. She was very well spoken.Has anyone else seen this video by chance and it was not BGRIndia? Thanks I cant believe I can not find it!
EDIT** FOUND IT**
Uoobe Vid

Might as well post the link.

HDR video recording

Sorry guys but I've looked everywhere in the settings and all over the web. I can't for the life of me figure out how to enable HDR video recording on the new MEA build. I'm using omega 5.0.
Does anyone know where it is or is it enabled automatically? Thanks

I don't understand how you can say you looked all over the web when there is a thread about this still on the first page of the forum you are posting in?

While I appreciate the link you didn't have to be disrespectful. I looked all over the web and hit the search button on this XDA app. Everything coming up just goes over there's a update and what's included, one feature being HDR video recording. If people are going to respond disrespectful I'd rather go without. Again thanks, that's what Q&A is for
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium

So one can't actually see there recording in HDR video. If you choose HDR on the carousel then hit video that's supposed to be it. I've read the video camera button is blurred out on old firmware so it must be working for us. Looks good but it looked good before so hard to tell for a camera quality noob like me.

You are welcome for the link and, in no way, was I disrespectful. Here are the forum rules...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81
I put "HDR" in the search box and the link I gave you was the 2nd link that came up after yours. Are you saying your search is different than mine? If the "XDA app" doesn't work, stop using it. It clearly is not helping you. And, the link I gave you was to a post that was still on the first page (the same page you are on). There wasn't even a need to use the search.
Of course, I'm sure all of this doesn't matter to you. You will just say I am still being disrespectful, so, good luck.

Scott do me a favor and open the stock browser and search how to enable HDR video on galaxy s4. Nothing besides reviews and news come up. I narrowed Down by time, past week (finally now works in stock browser) that's the search I did. When going to XDA app/ Q&A I did look at the first page. I'm guilty for not going to the second page. I did look man I'm not a lazy forum user. I'm constantly helping others no matter what the question is. Had a bad day at work and home so when I come across people responding a certain way, at the wrong time maybe it can be interpreted wrong.
Thanks again

It's all good. I hate that you had a bad day and sorry if I seemed to offend. If you find a good answer to your question please let us all know and maybe all of the information about this can be consolidated for future reference. I have a feeling the closer the AT&T update gets the more this same question is going to come up.

Actually no one actually sees a specific setting for this using the video camera. Everything I read says by going to HDR in camera settings then just hitting the video recording option should actually be HDR video. On earlier firmware this video recorder is blurred out if selecting HDR? Best I've come up with and seems most likely. I'll have to wait until I get to work tomorrow and grab my brothers G4 to see if his video button is blurred out in HDR mode. Thanks Scott and hope this helps someone else out. I'm sure it'll be asked a million more times

HDR video is listed as being in the patch that is currently rolling out in EU an India - my guess is it should be there but got left out and now they are fixing it.
Improvements and fixes in the new Software Update:
-New Camera firmware
-Smearing issue has been fixed (Purple effect while scrolling)
-Smart Pause Toggle
-Move Apps to SD Card
-HDR Video (Can record HDR video)
-Semi-transparent status bar
-New Icons in Settings
-Secure boot status (About Phone)
-Increase legibility (Display) (New feature)
