The Samsung site talks about a Digital Picture Frame Mode for the Tab 10.1.
Does this actually exist as I cannot find it?
How do I make my Tab 10.1 display selected pictures full screen at a rate of my choosing so that I can have it as a digital picture frame as it sits on my desk?
I have tried using the Gallery App to run a slideshow but it doesnt seem to allow you to change the time delay between pictures (unless Im missing something!).
I couldn't find how to change display time in gallery either. I have an app called Photo Slides that has a lot of options for transitions and all that. It doesn't over-ride the bottom bar, but works pretty well otherwise.

Hi there!
One of my "problems" I have with the S2 is that i can't seem to be able to properly fit a picture on my screen.
Whenever i set a picture as wallpaper it will be zoomed in.
Is there a way i can fit a picture in its original size (so the whole picture can be seen) on the screen?
Many thanks,
Peter
If you are trying to set a scrollable wallpaper on a single portrait screen then it's not possible, but otherwise you have to click on the portrait icon, then drag the orange lines to the furthest corner of the picture, then set it.
There it goes "wrong", whenever i do that in portrait mode, and I select the part i want and set it as wallpaper... the result will be that it is zoomed in.
For example as i drag the orange lines around my girlfriend and I set it... it will only show me the chest, stomach and a part of the legs instead of the whole body.

You need 480 x 800 resolution photos/wallpapers to fit in portrait mode, any other resolution will slightly distort or won't fit on the screen.
I always crop my pictures in photoshop to 960x800 for wallpaper and 480x800 for lockscreen wallpaper. All WVGA androids use these resolutions.
I just checked, i dont loose any of my picture in that resolution.
Hope this helps.
The screens resolution is 480x800, not 960x800, the latter is for scrollable wallpapers, which I never use. So if someone wants to use a full picture set to one screen then he/she should use a wallpaper of phones resolution, i.e- 480x800

I have this same problem, i have resorted to just using the scrollable crop button and knowing that I'll lose the edges. There's certainly some sort of bug regarding this.
I have a photo taken with the SG2 camera that is 480x800. When I set wallpaper, I select portrait mode (non-scrollable, single photo).
However, the actual wallpaper is still zoomed in and I don't know why. Portrait-mode wallpapers seem to be broken, the phone wants to stretch photos into scroll-mode size even though it is not selected.
The lock screen wallpaper works fine.
Anyone know a fix?
Edit: The same problem is described here and also for other phones, no answer yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121133
Edit: I have a fix, but it's not a good one. Using a photo editor, add 240x800 pixels to either side of your image. This will produce a 960x800 image. Set this as your scrollable wallpaper (this will not work if you select portrait-mode). Then, use your launcher options to disable wallpaper scrolling.
If you are using stock launcher it should work. If your pic is 480 x 800, select portrait mode , drag the orange lines to fit the whole screen and your pic won't zoom in. The way Samsung uses this feature is crappy anyway. I gotta try 2-3 times before i can adjust the orange lines to fit the screen, without pic being zoomed-in.
So for example: I take a picture of a car then I press the picture icon in the lower right corner of the camera app, then the gallery app will show the car I've just taken up side down, or rotated clock-wise. What I have to do then is to rotate it left then right (or the other way) to get the picture in the correct orientation.
Has anyone had the same problem as I do? This and the homescreen keeps rebooting (due to lack of memory?) have been quite bugging me since I got the phone.
I'll be glad to hear if someone found a fix for these problems.
Try calibrating the gyro
Settings > Display > Gyroscope calibration
Do you think it could be the reason. Cause everything works fine for me, like video player, camera app, browsers...
Hmm, are you sure the camera was orientated correctly when you were taking the picture then? Because I remember this happening a few times on my old phone e.g. Phone orientated landscape when recording, then I record in portrait (yes I know this is a crime against society), then when you play it back it plays portrait in landscape mode and vice versa.

I'm having the same problem. Have you solved it?
I think the problem is that the S3 is using the value "rotation" in the exif, and the gallery act like this.
I tried to use the PC to donwload the photos and then I rotated it, and the problem was solved (The exif had changed too, because at the begining the size was wrong and had the "rotate value" to 90 and now i doesn't)
Thne problem is that the i9000 I think uses a diferent way of rename this exif option
It could be easier for samsung to change the resolution using the giroscopes values, and evaluate what is the with or what is the high
Hi,
i have a different rotation issue.
If i take pictures or videos in portrait format, the gallery on the phone will display everything correct, but every player in windows 7 doesn´t.
Why´s that?
thx, nearly
I have the same problem too
I think the problem is the way that the S3 makes the photos. It writes in the exif the size as if it where in horizontal way and writes 90 degrees as a coment. Maybe it is not a standard option, and maybe it the Galaxy S1 writes a more standarised coment (But now the S3 do not understand because the are using a diferent one)
So is there a fix for this?

I just found out, that the photos do alright if you use the normal 8mp setting. I had mine set to 16:9 and then rotation doesn't work on the PC.
For video, it just doesn't work. I just wonder what that greed out flipped-setting is supposed for.?

I just had the same thing happened to my s3,what i did was:
Turned off the phone
take the card out
backup the pictures to computer
add more pictures to backup folder in computer i got from different card (pictures taken with the same phone)
Add the new pictures to the 1st card
Now gallery shows pictures with wrong orientation, old ones and newly taken
I used a mac, there was an attempt made by iPhoto app to scan once the card is mounted but I don't think it modified anything
One thing i haven't looked into is if there's hidden indexing file being created in the card that throws off gallery.
If you have the fix please share.
Right now, when you connect the Galaxy S III to a TV, it'll display the video in whatever orientation the S3 is currently in. For example, when you hold the phone vertically, it shows up as portrait on the TV (with black spaces on either side), and when the phone is held horizontally, the TV displays landscape video.
Since I have a screen that can rotate, I want to make it so that the video that the Galaxy S III displays will always fill the screen. As in, when the S3 is held vertically, the video it displays fills the whole screen without the black spaces (if you were watching it on a TV, it would appear sideways).
Is this possible? I know that on the iPhone there's an app on Cydia called Landscape TV Out, which always outputs the video in landscape (thus filling the screen). That's what I'm looking for.
If an app is possible but it doesn't exist, I'm willing to pay for one to be made.
To clarify, I've attached two pictures that show what the S3 outputs by default and what I need it to look like in portrait.
I've searched through the GT-i9300 and SGH-i747 source code, but I haven't found anything (maybe I'm not looking for the right thing?)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I just tried to use my GS2 with HDMI connection on sony FHD TV, however, both in portrait and landscape, image is cut, both top and bottom. Quite annoying especially for watching movie (subtitles cut..) how can i fix that?

It's just the settings on your TV.
You will need to choose a different aspect ratio on your TV settings
That's what i thought, but when i when in the image settings, i just saw things about color, brightness... I got a bravia...

I don't use Sony but there will be a settings for aspect ratio somewhere. Take your time and look for it.
There are many options on Samsung; full screen, crop, 16:9, 16:10, zoom etc

If you have had a thorough look through the image settings then it may just have it's own dedicated button on your remote.
I have a Panasonic Viera and I have a button on my remote which is called "16:9". This is the only way I can change aspect ratio.
Look on your TV or your remote for a dedicated aspect ratio button sometimes it's a square with an arrow in it. Obviously it's differnet for different models.
Either look in your manual, or google it.
Your TV will definitely have a way to change aspect ratio, you just have to find it.
I found the button, few choices but.none that makes it fit or even smaller...

Hi Folks,
I have been a user for HTC Camera as of now and now have been using S3 for about a year now.
The query I had to you guys is
1. When we take a click from HTC mobile camera and we see that pic in the gallery it's always full screen, covering the full dim of the phone. However when we do that with the Samsung Phone its always trimmed.
2. But, when we take the pic while recording a video, if we take the pic its always full screen and not trimmed. No matter what mode we take the pic.
Is this possible for us to have the same features on Samsung phones. I personally feel full screen is what we should view it and not trimmed version from either side.
Have attached few pic. First shows the pic while recording a video other one in the Landscape Mode but it's trimmed on the sides. Possible for us to have the same view as having from the Video.

it comes when you put the resolution to 16:9. you can also get it on 3rd party apps like jb plus etc.,
