Samsung Galaxy S4 has a good camera to capture photo and video. There is a simple way to improve its video quality – by increase video and audio bitrate. However, you need to know a little bit technical knowledge in order to edit these values. Luckily, there is a Galaxy S4 camera mod to help. It is developed for GT-I9500 for the moment. GT-I9505 version is coming soon (since both of them are not using the same image sensor. Yes, GT-I9500 has better one).
Err… I missed the chance to get free Samsung Galaxy Gear from Celcom. It was supposed to be a lucky draw for 100 Samsung Galaxy Note 3 subscribers for 24 months voice plans with pricey data plan. Then changed to 1st 100 customers and added with 12 months plans. Did not manage to drive to Penang when I knew this news. Anyway, I managed to grab one from eBay Deals Malaysia at RM 1999. Missed out the RM 1888 deal too as I was still sleeping during that promotion period. Too tired and felt sick after coming back from China…
Samsung Galaxy S3 is going to get Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Firmware real soon. Why? There is a leaked Android 4.3 firmware for Germany (Vodafone) floating around now. So the official firmware should come near just like Galaxy Note 2. Hopefully, it can get as much stuffs from Galaxy S4. If not, you still can enjoy enhancements and features from Android 4.3 itself. As usual, only flash this leaked firmware if you know what you are doing. For the rest, just wait for OTA update. Should come in 1 or 2 months…
Is your Android phone or tablet not stable? Certain applications always make your system hang or force close? Well, there is a way to troubleshoot. Yes, reboot it into safe mode. Just like you do in Windows PC. Android platform has this kind of feature too. It will load Android OS in safe mode without any 3rd party applications running (only stock Android apps there). Therefore, you can troubleshoot your Android device there.
I don’t like latest YouTube application on Android. Why? The last few versions have serious video quality issue. You can easily spot on 1080p screen like Nexus 7 (2013). Therefore, I uninstalled all the updates and use back the stock YouTube version. However, after upgraded to Android 4.4 KitKat. The stock one was replaced with this poor quality version. So no more nice music video for me until I discover Viral. Basically, it is a YouTube app with pop-up video feature. Not perfect on Nexus 7 (2013) as it still have soft navigation bar even on full screen mode. But at least the video quality is better than stock YouTube on 720p.
