[Q] Galaxy Camera with an S3 - Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have the galaxy camera and know there is an easy way to share photos? I am less interested in remote viewfinder but I would like to have images appear on the galaxy s3 as I take them on the camera... What is the best way to do that? I know there are several samsung apps in the play store but none of them were pairing the s3 and the galaxy camera??
Thanks in advance!
Sal

There is a share shot function on your cam, try using that, i think its under settings then share. connect your s3 and gcam using wifi direct, i did that with my note 10.1 and all the photos that I've taken with my gcam goes to my note 10.1.
Try that and let me know if it worked for you

I assume you are not using any ICS or jelly bean.
Skype don't support back camera, it supports only front camera, and galaxy mini don't have front one.
I apologize for my wrong info.Correct me it I'm wrong.

What wallpaper apps do you guys use????

Very curious as I love to set my own pictures and I know they have to be a decent size but I'm having trouble. Seems like pictures I set as wallpaper look great but then afew mins later it turns all huge and uglier.
Would love to know if their are great apps for the note. Cheers

Wallpapers Bay for Tablet FTW!!!
Ive had the same problem before I think.. on some roms.. that the walpaper isn't set to the size shown when selecting it, not even when using crop tool. It zoom in a lot! .. but for me the size became normal again, as croped, after reboot.. Have you tried to reboot when it happens? =) Those issues happened on my phone on some roms while using gallery app to set a background.

I use wallbase, picspeed and zedge. And i will rate wallbase as best. We can download wallpapers of any resolution. And the next best is picspeed because it gives wallpapers that fits to your mobile resolution, and zedge works the same way, but for Galaxy Note it has very few wallpapers while browsing through the app.

Does nfc s beam work ? Can you View pics on note 2

On the galaxy note 2 there is a facility to take a pic and view it on another note 2 or s3 via s beam on the settings
Does the galaxy camera have NFC and s beam ?
It would be cracking if you could take a pic on the camera and automatically view it on the bigger note 2 screen
Any ideas ?
Thanks

No it does not have NFC (or S-Beam)
It does however have Wi-Fi Direct and it has a feature called SHARE SHOT which allows the photo to be displayed on another device instantly.
That might work at least samsung added a cool feature

Has Anyone figured out how to use busy www camera remote

I saw an update on here re the new camera remote by busy www
I have tried to get it to work like Samsungs own app but have tried every which wayv and can't get it to work
Has some one managed to get the app to work
Trying to connect note 2 to gc
Im happy with samsungs app but wanted to try the new one to see if it's better

AW: Has Anyone figured out how to use camera remote
You need Android 4.1.2 on GCam and Remote Viewfinder for GC out of the Play Store
Within your camera menu under share you have to enable remote viewfinder and then connect your android device to the cam via wlan and start the remote viewfinder.
And next time, please use the search function of the board.

Thank you for talking to me like a child re searching which I did however can I suggest you start to learn to reads people's threads properly before dishing out criticism
I am as stated not reffering to samsungs own app I know that inside out and have advised in various thread users on how to make it work
I am in fact referring to camera remote by busy www
I can not find the thread where it was mentioned despite searching from the mobile app but i do remember it only mentioned the app not how to use it hence my new thread
I don't think its compatible with the gc as it doesnt even connect on the website system

I got it to work a litte. I can't connect via Wi-Fi (but I think that's a NAT problem), I did get my Nexus 7 to connect via bluetooth and it sorta works for a while, but the app on the Camera dies as soon as I remotely take a picture.

I got it to work rigged up to my home WiFi if that's any help.

Think that confirms my suspicion the gc definately isn't compatible Cheers ill stop wadting my time trying to make it work

As I mentioned in the other thread (I created yesterday), the unreleased beta of the app works much better with the GC.
He is adding video features to it right now and then will re-release it to the store I guess.
You install the same app on both devices and select camera or remote mode on the two devices. (or you use a web browser to control the camera device).
The thread was just a heads up that it has been fixed and will be re-released soon. It works quite well for me.
The author has not given me permission to post the beta here. Maybe send him an email and ask for the beta?
He was very friendly and helpful.

NFC Beam... Nexus 7 & Note 2

Has anyone had success in trying to beam photos from a Galaxy Note 2 to a Nexus 7? When I try to transfer a photo using NFC, my Nexus 7 will open the PlayStore and display file not found.
I also decided to download QuickPic on both devices and transfer pics. All it does it open the QuickPic app, still not transferring the photo.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2
I have the same problem with my S3. I'm going to assume it's because one is Touchwiz based and the other ROM is not. I have successfully beamed pictures from my N7 to my S3 but not vice versa. WIFI Direct works good.
Touchwiz NFC uses Wifi Direct while AOSP NFC uses Bluetooth which is why they are not able to beam each other

I beamed an entire album's worth of photos from a Note 2 to my N7. Works well when I tried in 4.2.1.
Photo beamed from gallery?

I wish I would have tried it prior to updating my Nexus 7. I've upgraded to the latest 4.2.2 update.
Only success I've had so far is beaming web addresses using the Chrome browser app on both devices.

yup if you use nfc to send files with s-beam switched on it will only work when sending to another s-beam device, switching off s-beam uses the standard nfc sending route (bluetooth not wifidirect)
