Any possibility that the file being recorded can be recovered? Where would I find it? I've looked.

Mine are accurate Posted via Android Central App

I don’t think I read your post correctly the first time through. You’re right though. As the other poster suggested as well – using the flash should help the exposure without blowing out the background. It might be better off without the ‘spot’ metering too. That’s sort of what it’s for...

Re: Why is their no "dark mode" on the GS5 camera? Does it take pics in low light automatic? It does ‘White Balance’ actually adjusts for the color temperature (I believe I am using the correct terminology here) of the ambient light. You’ll notice that the different selections are tied to...

Re: Why is their no "dark mode" on the GS5 camera? Does it take pics in low light automatic? It does I’ve found the ‘image stabilization’ function in low light to take a silly amount of time to do whatever it claims to be doing. I’ve turned it off and not seen much difference. Not sure what...

You're welcome - I might additionally suggest using the flash. Even in the daylight. It might tone down some of that blown out background, but maybe that's what you wanted. You my additionally adjust the exposure manually if you were seeking to try to tone down the blown out background, but...

If you turn off the HDR you’ll get your options back for changing the ‘Metering Modes’ and the ‘Spot’ mode option is probably what you are looking for. ‘Center Weighted’ may also be ‘centered’ around the focus point, but possibly more balanced than ‘Spot?’ I haven’t tinkered with it on the...

I suppose alternatively you could upload to Flickr (or another site – I use Flickr) and share on Facebook as well. If you really, really wanted for people to be able to get access to the full resolution and quality of the originals – they could follow the links to the full resolution pictures...

I don’t know this for fact, but if you ever upload from a computer to Facebook you have the option to upload a higher resolution file – I can’t recall what the option is called right now. I’m going to guess that the mobile app just doesn’t offer a higher resolution option in the interest of...

Fired up S Health last night with the others Pretty tight with my other apps. Looks like it isn't 'pausing' like maybe I figured out how to turn on with Strava that my Map My Ride has always done - so, my time and average speed are down. I need all the help I can get to make my average speed...

Pretty great review from what is considered an expert opinion: DxOMark Mobile report: Samsung Galaxy S5: Connect I’m not personally shocked that the video ranks as the best they have ever tested for a mobile device. I’m a sort of novice videography buff and it impresses me what it can do...

I haven’t been using the S Health myself either. Originally I gave it up because I don’t believe you could switch over and check your heart rate while riding if it was on (I don’t have a Gear device). Maybe I just never figured it out before I stopped using it. I’ve used Map My Ride since I...

Can?t get it to work. I don?t have a Slingbox, but that?s not what I?m talking about. It will schedule programs to record ok I believe, but it won?t change the channel or play my dvr recordings. I can see them though and it pulls up the prompt to play them, but nothing. I?ve reset the...

I just laid out full price for a Galaxy S5 on T-Mobile – I sure do hope the GSM survives or AT&T will be the only ballgame for my handset I guess? If it does happen… and even by the time it is an issue I might be due for a new phone regardless of plucking down retail for my S5.

I use a Defender on my S5 and no problems so far. I have to try to be aware that while it is in the holster that the camera glass is exposed to elements; seat belts in particular concern me. I can see how it might be damaged while wearing it in the belt clip if you aren’t careful. Otherwise...
