Why photo size getting bigger, after I rotate? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I did rotate my photo for 90° in the photo album and save, then the file size become BIGGER than the original one, why will become like this?

Since you didn't mention how bigger the file was, one can only speculate, but did you use lossless rotation?
If yes, the file could grow larger because a) additional metadata added to exif (pic info) b) could be adding thumbnail, c) even lossless rotation requires some of the data to be re-encoded and therefore change file size.
If it wasn't lossless rotation, not only the whole picture was re-encoded and file size changed , but also some of fine detail was lost during compression.

Not sure is it lossless rotation. I just did it in the media album app which is original in s8, use : Edit → Transform → Rotate, then the file size from 3.13MB become 4.60MB

[FIX] Audible.com Player Skin corrected

For those that use the Audible.com player will have noticed there is no skin defined for 800x480 and so the player defaults to the smallest. This leaves you with the player in the top left and a corrupt screen unless you use one of the screen resizing utilities. All that is need is to increase the size on the JPG and add them to the skins INI file. Unfortunately Audible tech support don't seem to understand the difference between a Touch and a Touch Pro2 and keep quoting the wrong resolution. Anyway I've made the changes myself and they are attached. Copy the contents of the zip to your device's \Program Files\Audible\skins directory. Only the INI file will overwrite an existing file. I admit the landscape ones aren't as neat as the portrait ones as I couldn't match the gradient but you will usually be using this in portrait anyway.
Does anyone have a .cab file for audible? i want to be able to install the player from my phone microsd card instead of having to connect it to my pc to install it.
never mind i found a way to get the cab from the exe
Thank you! Great Job!
Thanks!
Seems to be a small bug with the time indicators, but I can live with it!

Music Compression

Is there a software that will allow music files to be compressed from the device itself, without having to connect to a PC? All my music is large files, like 3-4 MB, and I am trying to get them down to 1-2 MB, to save space. Did all the searches and found 0.
Can this thread be deleted? This was posted in the wrong area
mp3, ogg etc ARE compressed. won't get much more compression
no idea about the thread questiob, soz
I meant change the bitrate to a lower format, so that the file is smaller (compressed)
I don't have a suggestion for PPC but on your PC try encoding by mp3PRO - same quality at 1/2 the size of normal MP3

Use a real computer with a real processor and a mains connection
That way you'll still be able to use your phone and it won't be hideously slow / run out of battery lol

Small picture size when synchronizing with Windows Media Player

When synchronizing pictures from the PC with the HD2 the images are converted to a very small filesize. When opening those pictures with my HD2 the images appear very small, thus I do not really benefit from the great display and WVGA resolution.
in windows media player, connect your device and go to tools > options > devices and select your device from the list. then click properties and go to the quality tab. uncheck the "Convert music, pictures.." etc.. but make sure the pictures you sync are supported.. size doesn't really seem to matter, it displayes 12mp pictures from my camera with no troubles..

Thanks bel_z_bub. I found that solution already. problem is, that with this you will get pictures in full size on your device / storage card (>4MB in my case). This is also not very good since it is a waste of storage space. There should be a solution that allows me to set the synchronization / conversion to a file size of approx. 500k per picture. This would be sufficient for the screen resolution while at the same time saving considerable storage space.
It's disappointing that MS Media Player does only provide conversion quality options for audio and video. I wonder why they did not implement this function for pictures as well.....?

Is it possible to export Sequence Shot (super slow motion) clips?

As far as I can tell, Sequence Shot clips are saved in .GIF form to the internal storage, but they are only a few frames from the entire clip (this is what the gallery uses to preview them). The phone, however, has access to the full, smooth versions of these slow motion clips, but they don't appear to be stored in a user accessible location, and there is no option to export them. Are these full clips accessible somehow?
[possible duplicate of a similar thread from 2014 which was unanswered]
IMPORTANT UPDATE: As it turns out, the .GIF file DOES contain the slow motion video, but you have to simply edit the file (with any free hex editor) and remove the .GIF portion of the file. See my forum post here for more information.

Changing movie thumbnails and titles

I just finished converting Game of Thrones with handbrake and added the episodes to my S7.
Although I named all the files in correct order, it shows a different file name when added to the phone. As if they have a tag added. How do I change this?
Also, most thumbnails are just black - I assume it takes the first frame by default. Is it possible to add my own thumbnail?
