This is a development area.
Meaning if you have created something fixed an error then this is where you post. if you have questions please make a topic in the General section this area is getting filled with junk and multiple post asking things that have been posted if you would just learn to use a button we call the search bar at the top right.
I'm not the mod on this Device but as a dev for this device I want to keep things clean unlike all the other areas. I want people to look as the development area and be like ok thats a rom or recover or root and not have to ask questions.
Next is when in a topic please keep on topic. a few topics are 90% junk because people not staying on topic. DONT make posts that say "I hope this is fixed soon or I'm going to get rid of this device" GROW UP go do some reading and help to to make a fix.
I have to add my 2 cents to this. It's really nice if people other their help and discuss things but sometimes threads have to stay clean in order to be helpful for other developers. So please think about if it's really necessary to add your stuff. Otherwise please use the general section.
If you help the developers to do their stuff quickly we'll be able to write how to threads faster for you guys.
Personally I'll pick only a few persons for testing. This will result in less bricked devices

Maybe link the [DEV] thread to a [DISCUSSION] thread in general section so noobs like use can talk about the development of a given project and not actually post in the [DEV] thread itself.
Also, I wouldn't hesitate to report a post or thread to the mod. I'm not sure how active he is here but it could use a little cleaning.

its a good idea but if people have a question since we dont have a questions area like other forums it needs to be in the general area. or they need to learn to use a search bar/engine. im just tired of pms/email/threads that have been answered already.

You would think by now with how prevalent forums are for all aspects of life, people would know how to use the search feature.

What I meant, exactly, was say a developer starts in on a project - they start their development thread and in the first post, add a link to a discussion thread in the general forum:
[DEV] My project Title
This is my project explanation.
Link to [DISCUSSION] Thread.
So basically, you start you [DEV] thread. Then when you're done, start a [DISCUSSION] thread then link the two together. So noobs, right from the first post, can see the link to the discussion thread. If someone posts a question or chit chat in you [DEV] thread, have it moved to the [DISCUSSION] thread.
I know, it's not ideal, just a thought.

This actually sounds really good to me. The only kicker being what is considred on topic and what isn't? Are testing successes and failures relevant to a dev thread? Only successes? Only "breakthrough" moments? To be determibed by an elite group of our super-dev peers? Determined by the original poster?
Its a very subjective issue, dependent on the knowledge level and/or experience of the poster and reader both (or simply based on what one is hoping to find at that moment as compared to how disappointed one is by what they do find instead).
It could also get really complicated really fast.
Ultimately thats up to the OP.
The whole point is that a dev thread can only stay as clean as there are ways to do it. At least with a seperate (though connected) discussion thread, it can be directed. If someone posts in the dev thread, it should be up to that threads OP whether or not it can stay or be moved- at least now there would be a place to move it.
BUMP!! cause people dont like going to the second page. STOP making questions here this is for DEV's that have something to make the Iconia better not hi can i do this. go to the GENERAL AREA
I am not a developer, and this is the only post I can see myself ever posting here.
I enjoy reading this section like I'd read a detailed tech news site. I know that these same people also read the general section, so I can benefit from their input there.
Here, this section, this is their place to work! They share ideas here. They make things happen here. Aside from this post, I never want to clutter their desks, because I benefit so much from their hard work!
Is there any way to just make you guys permissible to post? Maybe you should have to be a dev to post? All can read, but devs would contact the mod to post? With a Discussion Thread linked in that environment, I could see a solution.
I still want to read. Its valuable. But aside from this post, I have no reason to write here. Butt every reason to watch progress, for my own education and to see what might be round the bend
anyone can be a dev. it just means u fixed a bug or made something happen thats what this section is for not hey can some1 help get you tube working or something like that.
doing another bump to keep near the top
I put together a spread sheet comparing the differences between M8 and S5.
This is not putting down either phone. It's just to help folks decide.
I don't want to duplicate the thread but it's over on the M8 forum.

See the first Sticky post on this section? Title says 'OFF Topic other device comparison' that's where your post should have gone.

THREAD CLOSED
Why did the other camera discussion thread get closed? It is a valid topic of discussion as there are sample images to dissect and compare with other devices as well as just general camera hardware discussion.
The camera on the G4 was one of the main selling points so it should stay strong in the G5 and closing threads that want to discuss the camera doesn't make much sense at all.

If you read the reason why the other thread was closed it was because placeholders are not allowed. Screenshots, pictures, FAQ threads, Battery life all should not be opened until the release date or at the very earliest the day before. There is a perfectly good thread for discussing the specs.
Motion Photos Where are the videos for these located?
I can find the Photos located in sdcard/DCIM BUT I am Looking for the 3 seconds videos they take.
I figured they would be in /Data/Data/com.samsung.camera/ but I am not rooted and cant view inside the Root Data folder /Data
The video seems to be embedded in the jpg thats why its 10megs compared to 4megs for a regular picture. The video is only viewable in the gallery app.

Thank you so much I really appreciate it and such a fast responce instead of weeks for a reply. I was wondering why they were 10 megs I thought it was just because it was a better camera then the old S2. Also I realized a couple minutes ago I was supposed to post this in the gernal Q& A sections. Sorry XDA. I was also going to delete and repost in the proper spot but @peachpuff has already responded.
