A lot of grain and noise on videos and pictures - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I've had my note for about two months. I came from the one x. One thing i don't like about the note is the grain and noise on dark pictures and video. Guess its just due to the amolded screen. I know being under good light will fix the ones you take but anything I can do to sharpen the image on videos and pics I'm browsing?

Are you referring to recorded videos only? Make sure to change the setting for video to 1080p because I'm pretty sure it's set to 720p by default. Hope that helps.

Oh ok, I thought you were referring to videos that you've personally recorded. Not sure what you can do about grainy videos on Youtube though.

Honestly think its just the amolded screen. My girlfriend has a galaxy s2 and sees the same thing.

I don't now if I buy that video. Hands look fake, and I haven't seen flash video that choppy since I tried to run it on my Hero.

It's in 1080p and not the average 240/360p which is what you use to watch flash videos with, just go to Youtube website on your smartphone and try to increase the video quality to 720p and see what happens ^^

[Solved]Photos look weird

Ever since I got my x2 some pics have odd colors mainly brown on them in blotchy spots. Not pics the camera takes but pics from say facebook. Anyone else have this? Is there a fix?

Gimme a min and ill screen shot one.
Here is a pic it does it in. Not sure of it is just an incompatible resolution or what. Doesn't do it with all photos. This pic is fine in the computer though
Mainly thought the spots show up in pics of people. I know...its kinda weird

Thats what I was thinking. I think all she has is a very low end samsung so its probably 1.3MP or something
Yea I would try to look at another picture on the web with a higher res and see if it does the same thing.

Recording in Slow Motion Looks really bad

I have seen a couple of videos on here where they were recorded in slow motion and those videos looked great, however, I have tried a few times and they always come out looking really bad. (grainy, and blurry). I have tried with all the settings left on auto and also setting things up manually as well (like white balance and ISO).
Is there settings that I am missing to make these videos look as good as they do while recording at normal speed?
Here is the link to the video I shot:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjcqQhUIJq0
Also does the camera not record in HD while doing Slow Motion?
I can't help you on making it look better but it doesn't record in HD. The ending resolution ends up being 768 x 432.

Yeah I agree and have the same problem. I have a pitbull and an American bulldog and love recording them playing. Nice dog by the way. The only toys I can buy my boys are Kongs like your dog is playing with, the toy they can't destroy.

Really? Maybe I just expected it to look better, but then I found out that it doesn't record in HD. Here is a link from another user who also shot using the Slow Motion feature his looks way better.

It's probably the light. I think the only reason it goes to HD on the youtube video is because the beginning part might be in HD. I still see the grainy lines on the youtube video and in the slow motion videos I shoot.

I think it's HD on YouTube because the user had to edit it on the computer. (Add music) so I think he saved it in a way that YouTube thought it was HD.
I've noticed that I have to edit files in order for YouTube to have a HD option even though the phone records in HD and saves it as a .MP4.

Is there a camera setting for this or are you just simply slowing the footage down?

There is a camera setting. If you touch the "A" you will see the option
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
Yeah, the camera does not do HD for slow motion, due to the significantly higher data rates the camera must sustain to do slow motion. It's essentially recording at 120fps or so, which is four times the speed it would record at otherwise. To record in HD, it would require four times the bandwidth and processing power that it does at normal speed.
I've had this phone since it came out and never knew it has that setting.
What is "HDR"?

Are you buying the Kong extreme? They are black and they last forever.

I think the slip and slide video was edited on a computer. Unless the EVO LTE can do the stop motion at the beginning of the video as well.
So he may have done the slo mo with a computer too.

There are other phones using android that CAN do slow motion HD recording. I assume that this is a software limitation on HTC's part rather than a hardware limitation as the camera on this phone is quite impressive to say the least. Even with my limited knowledge of the inner workings of the android software I would venture to guess that this can at least be brought to 720p slow motion recording. However a speedier SD card may be needed. Man I wish I knew how to dig into Android, I want this camera to be BEAST!

4k Sound/Video at Concert

Click Settings - Quality - Original to view in 4k. Good luck getting the video to stream well. With the terrible lighting and getting bumped it looks better to me around 720p. The sound is not too bad.
I think it looks pretty good honestly. It's not the same quality SOOC so I may go view it on my real comp.

Its always interesting that they gave the GN3 the ability to record 4k but not watch its own videos in 4k on the device lol
Don't watch this video on your devices folk it won't be true 4k.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Even on the computer, which is not 4k res, you can see the "power" of 4k. It's pretty impressive. very immersive.
Video seems great for a cell phone. Did you have to do anything to get it to record at that quality?
Never-mind I found the answer.
Maybe they'll add 4k playback through a software update? I did very well adjusting to the lighting conditions in my opinion

It plays back 4k fine. The problem is the screen is only 1/4 the resolution. There is nothing that can be done when the screen is unable to display 75% of pixels that were recorded. There is no software update in the world that can fix that.
What surprises me is the quality of the sound... For a cell phone mic typically the sound isn't nearly that good. This phone is freaking awesome

Issues with dark scenes in movies

I have had my S6 for a few weeks now. When watching movies, either streaming or on the SD card, the screen has trouble with dark scenes, especially blacks. They get digitized and blocky with lots of noise. I have tried a few different apps. This did not happen in my Tab S 10.5 with the same source material. Anyone else see this?

Not noise or artifacts in the black when the Vegas sign was on?
Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
Well its normal that the blacks are compressed harder, thats the whole deal about compression, leaving out stuff you mostly dont see, thats why that dark GOT episode sucked with the highly compression streaming services.
Maybe the S6 is just showing it brighter than your other devices?

No. I still have it. Only got it last week - I'm not convinced it's a problem with the tablet. Like someone else said, could be down to compression - If I paint the screen black in a drawing app, I don't see any issues. It's not really an issue that'll bother me much if I'm honest.
