Still pics from already recorded video? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys, I have a Christmas video from last night that I would like to get some still pictures from. Is that possible? I thought it was but I can't find a way.
Thanks!

Not sure since I have never tried it myself, but if it is important enough and you don't want to waste too much time, VLC on your computer.

You could try pausing the video and doing a screen shot (power+Vol Down and hold for a second). Other then that direct from the phone im not sure.
On the computer definitely. vlc, ffmpeg,etc have the ability to grab stills from the video.

Thanks for the info guys. Yeah, I knew I could do it from the desktop, but was looking for a future way to do it on my phone when I wasn't home. Thanks for the app linked, but I am looking for a free solution. Plus, the reviews on that app were kind of crappy.
I like the screenshot idea. Gonna have to try it and see how the quality is.

Screen shots should be at full resolution based on testing.

Netflix HD for Galaxy S3

Can we use the Galaxy Nexus Netflix HD app for our S3? And are there any new HD Netflix apps that work full screen?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Am I missing something here? What is the difference between the standard Netflix app, and this mentioned Netflix HD app?
I just happened to test out Netflix the other night, and with the regular Play-store app was able to click the little "HD" button to view HD streams.

Hmm. I'll have to check again later, but it was at the bottom left of the screen, plain as day. I'm using CleanRom 2.5 with the Play store Netflix app. I'm not sure if it depends on your connection and/or the content as to if it shows up.

I've noticed it's not HD as well on my S3. I have no options to change the quality and my connection is more than fast enough.
Alright, I got a chance to check again, and of course there's no HD setting. So, I'm pretty sure I'm not crazy, but could swear there was an HD toggle the last time I tried it (maybe a week or two ago). Sorry for the misinformation -- I'm not sure what if anything changed on my end.
Update: Crap, I found out what happened -- I was thinking of the YouTube app. I really need more sleep. Sorry, guys.

lol all good man it happens.
So the S3 doesn't play netflix in HD?
If you go onto netflix.com with your browser than log in, go to account settings, streaming options, there is an option to raise the quality video on streaming devices at the cost of data. I have mine set in high as I have unlimited data but it uses like 1gb per hour. I honestly cannot see much of a difference

Doesn't work with phones. Netflix is working on a HD app for droids right now. You can see the difference in the Nexus HD app thread. I just want to know if the Nexus HD app works for our S3's

Just tried the rezound HD app and it doesnt work. I heard the New razor HD will come with the HD Netflix app pre installed on it. If anybody could get that to work on our S3 I would be the happiest man alive.

Does anyone have a Dark Meadow save file?

I was on level 10 I believe when I decided to put a rom on my device. I thought Titanium backed up gaming content, but I found out the hard way that it apparently doesn't. Now I'm really frustrated because it took me hours just to get to level 10. Dark Meadow is quite possibly the greatest mobile game I've ever played and finding a save file so I won't have to waste time replaying what I've already played would be great. Thanks!

Did a little bit of digging for you.
This is the only thing I found on the S3 and WiDi (aka. be compatible with the device you listed above)

To be honest, the thread was pretty messy, but overall definitely has some interesting information
I'm thinking it should work. I saw another thread where someone said it worked with their note 2

Personally I run a:
http://www.amazon.com/Adapter-HDMI-3FHU-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B0080CXSOU
to connect to my home theater. Not sure how well the wireless video/audio would turn out.
In my experience streaming anything over the air turns out poorly.
I guess the wireless nature of it all could be convenient though

I have the mhl adapter also, but it gets annoying having to constantly hook it up every time I wanted to watch a movie. At the same time, I don't wanna sacrifice sound quality just to be wireless. I'm torn!!!!!

[Q] NFC not working?

Hey guys, are you having any issues with NFC?? Sorry if this is a repost...searched for NFC, but nothing came up. I tried placing my gf's N4 next to my N5, but nothing happened..no prompt to beam. Would love to know how you guys solved this issue, or have any idea what the problem is.
Thanks everyone!

I know it's going to sound pretty inane, but when you try to use NFC do you have your screen on? From what I know, the NFC chip is only on when the screen is on for your device.

Is NFC turned on in the n4? NFC has been better for me with my n5 over my n4. Places that my n4c wouldn't work at, my n5 works like a charm. I've also used NFC to transfer pics from my n5 to my wife's n4 without issue. I just held the n4 centered to the back of my n5.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thanks for the response! Yeah NFC is enabled on both devices... I also tried using NFC testing apps to see if it recognizes it... It says NFC is there and enabled, but can't be sure how accurate that is.

i dont really know if that is an issue but my friend has galaxy s4 and we he tried to transfor a pic to my n5 with nfc it didnt work but when we tried to transfor something else like web page it worked
Yeah not sure what's going on...

I have the same thing. Trying to transfer a photo from Nexus 5 to S3 Mini
Nexus 5 makes a noise and says touch to beam so I do and then it says no connection
If I do it with a web page its no problem
I'm trying to transfer the photo using File Expert HD, maybe thats the problem
Using File Expert HD to NFC transfer between S3 Mini and My Nexus 7 tablet works fine
Mine isn't working at all! Won't even say touch to beam. I put it to the back of a nexus 7.2 and a Gnote 3 and nothing! Won't even recognize anything. There's got to be something causing this problem because my NFC was working before. I used it several times to transfer photos and now all of a sudden I get nothing??

I had a problem with NFC too. It wasn't working with SGS3 and Nexus 7... So I opened a back cover and raised those 4 pins just a little bit, put everything together and boom - now it works! Obviously a bad contact issue.

Hey how did you guys do it? I'm having the same issue after replacing my screen. Do I raise the four pins on the nfc board on the motherboard? And how did you scrape the contacts on the back cover SoTacMatt?
I'm not gonna try anything before I hear from you guys. I just paid $50 for the screen and seriously don't wanna go paying $25 for the nfc.
Edit: Nevermind fixed it :laugh: apparently everyone is jumping the gun in this thread. This was the fix for me.

New Cyanogenmod alpha for N920t

Has anyone tried it yet? Been using it as my daily driver and it's pretty amazing. This isn't a joke for anyone who like myself thought we'd never have cyanogenmod on our note 5s. Just wondering if anyone has tried it what are your thoughts

Yeah, we still need to install Gapps. I use opengaps. It's running great so far for an alpha including call audio. Of course make a nand backup just in case . Make you sure you read through the thread carefully.

Oh I use textura. So I'm not sure. I'd report it in the thread so Rayman can see it. The battery life isn't the best either. But for an alpha it's pretty impressive.

Also the video isnt working on the phone, recording video on camera or snapchat. It records on the camera but then it freezes when you play it back. and on snapchat is just says recording failed.
Camera quality does not seem very good. The only thing that may make me switch back to a Samsung based ROM.
Anyone else notice a camera quality difference?
Yeah, it seems the same for me. I'm tempted to dual boot though. I do like this rom for the most part.

4G LTE is currently non functional it cuts on for a spit second and cuts off unusable unless on WiFi or awful 3g but glad to see the devs working hard keep it up hope to have this as my daily driver
