[Q] Are there any external Flash adapters for Samsungs's Camera?

I am wondering if you've find some sort of flash/xenon/LED for taking pictures in dark places with your Samsung Galaxy S? Maybe something that could be connected to the above mini-usb port?

I'm interested into the reasoning behind this kind of thing...
Easy option would be to use the night mode which works wonders.
Other option would be to carry a mag light of some sort with you.
Using an external device would be complex because software would have to be made, its possible, but I dont see this happening anytime soon.

Shame though they left the led out. IMHO a USB flash would be a brilliant idea if you consider the number of androids out there.
On the other hand host mode or something like it would be required...

Hi,
im looking for something like this...
regards

I recently bought something like this for my girlfriend's iphone 3g. It connects up to the iphone's dock port and (I think) sucks power from it. Other than that, it's a really simple device. On/Off button on the actual device means there's no need to worry about software.

Do u really need a flash? I found the night shot mode is quite decent.

The flash is more for 'no light' photos rather than 'low light' photos or close ups when its dark. Atm i9000 can't do those at all.

I'm looking for something like that, a micro usb xenon/led flash would be great!!

On my previous phones, I always made sure to have a photo light. Not because i need it to take pictures, but as a flashlight.
Real pity that Samsung left it out. Reviews claimed the OLED on bull brightness would be a suitable flashlight too, but I disagree.
I did use it as a photo light occasionally when taking close-up pictures, especially inside equipment.

I'm looking something like that too!

[Q] Is this Galaxy Note feature theoretically possible on our phone?

Hi,
I have a little question about a feature of the Samsung Galaxy Note. I saw a video in which AndroidPIT presented a really cool app called "S Memo". I wanted to ask if it is possible to port this app to our phone.
Here is the video, where you can see what he is doing.
The app is shown between 5:25 and 8:20.
The most interresting feature I think is the possibility to insert pictures, photos, clip arts or even maps (beginning at 6:35).
Have a nice day

Possible as all apk's fall under compatibility list. Only problem is the touch/stylus difference.
The phone reads the stylus and then responds. The stylus emits a different sort of touch base compared to the human touch. So writing would be somewhat, impossible unless that app supports writing with your finger.

Okay, thank you very much for your answer.

Dude,
You have a stylus-thing for i9000 also, right? Heard that can work as a stylus for our phone,right?

I don't own a stylus. Most stylus pens for capacitive displays on amazon are those with a rubber tip. I've heard that they work but they are bad to handle.

And when used to capture signatures on my work tablet they look horrible. Not sure if It's the design or the stylus with the rubber tip, but it looks bad, LOL.

[Q] Case with stand and access to USB?

Hello guys. I'm wondering if any of you know of a case with a stand capability for watching movies but one that allows the 8.9 tab to sit upside down so I can shove a flash drive in it.. It would also be great if it had a lower angle for typing but this isn't really necessary.
I know it's a stretch but maybe one of you has been lucky and found one of these.
Thanks!

I have this case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006OBKDFQ/ref=oh_o03_s00_i03_details and believe it can do that just fine.
If I have to I can take pictures of it tomorrow with a usb dongle and thumb drive.

I personally just ordered this one Executive Roocase I had one for my iPad 2 I just sold and loved it. The tablet is put into a sleeve which has Velcro on the back so when you put it into the case to watch it you can move it to what orientation you prefer.

Thanks guys but I didn't realize that by turning the tablet up side down, the audio jack would be inaccessible
Well, anyway, I ordered the keyboard dock which will solve all my issues. I was looking for anything other than a keyboard dock, but I guess I could live with that too.

You do know they have a media dock that might would better suit your needs, right?

Yes, I do. But I thought I would benefit from the keyboard also, when I actually needed it. Kind of like all-in-one solution. Thanks for the advices guys!

BT S Pen English Instructions

Hi all. I just bought the bt s pen but instructions are in Chinese. I think I've worked most of it out but was wondering if anyone has English manual.

If the pen works and you can answer & reject calls , what more do you need to know?

Things like- can I charge with any usb, how long will the battery last. And I can't work out how to reject calls

I don't get the point of this device. How can you write if you are talking on the pen?

there is no point to the pen, like most of these modern gadgets. do we really need tablets and ipads etc. We have them because steve jobs told us we need them, thats all. do we really need facebook and twitter. what good is it doing anyone.

Well, you can at least talk without having to carry around an aditional headset...if you wan't to make notes of the call, you're still free to pull out the original S-Pen.

Exactly!
OP (and any other owners), do you mind sharing your experience with this pen?

Thanks.

Mine's supposed to get here tomorrow. I'll post a review. It really comes down to what's more stupid looking: 1) talking to a 10.1" tablet, or 2) talking to a pen? I refuse to wear a BT headset when I'm not actually on a call and it takes to long too get it set-up and in your ear when a call's received. With the BT Pen I can put the SIM from my phone in my Note and that way I don't have to carry two devices all the time. That said I'd never consider a tablet a full-time replacement for a phone. I'm contemplating a Note II when it comes out so the BT Pen solves the problem of holding something the size of a book against my ear.

I'm hoping Samsung will release it in black soon

I was fortunate enough to find one locally for $100. Got it in 3 days which was great. Would've driven me mad waiting for it to arrive from Korea where most seem to come from.

I know this post was originated 3 months ago so this is really for anyone still interested.
Mine is in English if you still need to know anything.
Although I have to admit there isn't much to the instruction booklet.

Charge with any USB if its small enough to fit. There's a part to the USB cord (can't find the picture right now) that's if its too big won't fit past the cap which needs to be opened to charged.
Gotta look for that pic.

I ended up getting one of these and is really useful. I have found another little trick which makes this pen perfect for everyday use. If you have issues of accidentally pressing the button when writing which I do, you can unscrew the silver end and when you take it off, you will see that there is a tiny S-pen inside it. Pull the S-pen out and replace it with the button the opposite way and screw the silver end back on.
Now when you use the pen, it does not matter if you press the button, you can continue as normal. If you need the button functionality, just pull out the original one that came with the note and use as necessary.
Because of this little trick, I use this pen the most for any extensive note taking with the added benefit of answering calls when needed.

I hold mine without depressing the button so I won't be taking it apart.
When I first got it holding it was a little awkward; mainly do to it being much bigger than the supplied s-pen but I got over that awkwardness real quick. :victory:

That's cool but just to clarify to others, unscrewing the silver end does not require any modifications, the pen has been designed so that it can be unscrewed. You just have to make sure you turn it anti-clockwise when doing so and the small S-pen inside is not glued in so just drops in your hand when the silver cap is unscrewed and the pen is tilted.
There is no chance of damaging it as long as common sense is used e.g don't over tighten when screwing the silver cap back in.

Help with hardware - smartphone conector adapter to generic lcd screen

Hi guys! I need some help with hardware.
I've serached in the forum topics about it, but didn't find. So, my last hope is to post here and wait some light.
I'm looking for a form of adapt the conector of the lcd screen of my broken Razr HD(xt925) into a conector that allows me to conect the phone to a generic lcd screen without the touch. I don't know if it's possible, but worths a shot.

HI there!
Looks like the razor xt925 does support HDMI out You will need an HDMI cable with a standard Type A connector at one end and the Type D connector at the other (note that although it is visually similar, this is not compatible with micro-USB). Turn off the TV and the phone, connect the cable and then switch on your TV. Use your TV remote to switch to the HDMI channel, and then make sure your phone is switched on, the screen is on and the device unlocked. You should be good to go!
Cheers!
