Q. Hi i was thinking of buying the Samsung galaxy s3 and was informed that it had a great video recorder but a junk audio recorder. id probably be using the video recording for small venue concerts and local recording stuff. would it work if i added a 3.5 condenser mic to the phones headphone jack?
Thanks.
A. The smartphone's mic jack portion of the headphone plug is not connected to the recording side of the video capture convenience feature. You can plug a mic in there, but the audio will not be recorded onto the video captured - so no, what you want to do will not work.
Also, smartphones usually do not have any way to control the audio gain when recording. If the audio you plan to record at "small venue concerts" is loud, it is likely the recorded audio will be muddy and full of static as the auto audio gain control cannot keep up with the too-loud audio of the performance.
One option is to use an separate digital audio recorder (like a Zoom H2). When the video is being edited, import the audio recorded by the external audio recorder, synch with the video, then mute the audio captured by the smartphone.
Earbuds not comparable with my phone?
Q. I recently bought earpods with control and microphone and I have a Samsung Galaxy Attain. When I try to pause the song using the center key, it works, along with skipping to the next song. However, they're not working when I try to adust volume, fast forward, or rewind. Any was of making all functions work?And if not does anyone have an explanation?
A. Yes you are right indeed, When you buy a vary Earbuds, its compatible with only certain phones and when for you the earphones are functioning a couple buttons that means that those buttons only connect and match with your phone. I would refer you buying the real copy of headphones for Samsung Galaxy Attain or a compatible one.
Which among these mobile phones is the best?
Q. I'm considering buying a phone but I wonder which among these phones I have considered is the best. These are my options:
HTC Desire
Samsung galaxy S
Sony Xperia x10
Iphone 4
Blackberry 9780
I want all in one phone. A phone for business, entertainment, camera, etc...
A. Update: find out whether we think the iPhone 4 is the best phone in the world.
Apple's launch of the iPhone 4 has seen the greatest excitement for a new phone ever - and with HD video recording, a super high-res screen and ridiculously slim dimensions, it's not hard to see why.
But things are a little different now - not only was the iPhone 3GS something of a non-update to the iPhone range, but there are finally decent alternatives in the smartphone market, with the HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy S leading the Android fight right to Apple's door.
Add to that the first major leak of an Apple product a couple of months before launch, and suddenly the iPhone 4 has a lot to do to impress.
At least Apple has unleashed the big guns for this effort - before we get into the headline specs, the design itself is a massive talking point on its own.
Jobs' chats on stage to unveil a new iPhone might have got a little repetitive (best this, magical that etc) but this is the first time since the first iPhone way back in January 2007 that we've seen a variation on the standard iPhone design.
Gone is the traditional curved back and plastic exterior with slightly chunky dimensions; in is a chassis that's only 9.3mm thin at its thickest point and a new stainless steel and glass industrial design.
If you're an iPhone fan, there's a good chance you won't like the look of the iPhone the first time you pick it up - it's the same weight as the iPhone 3GS at 137g, but it's a lot smaller, with dimensions of 115.2mm x58.6 mm x 9.3mm, so it feels like a much weightier and compact model.
The edges are stainless steel, apparently forged by winged unicorns in an iceberg (or something) to be 10 times stronger than 'normal' steel.
The front and back of the phone are made of glass, which has also been treated to be a lot stronger than the normal variety we're used to seeing through and drinking out of.
This claim holds up - not only did we feel the need to drop the phone onto the floor a few times to test, someone nameless of the TechRadar team also knocked it out (an admittedly low level) window onto concrete - and not a scratch.
If you're the protective type, then you can buy an official 'Bumper' for the iPhone 4, which encases it in a small ring of rubber, if you haven't bought the handset only for its slim lines.
The chassis shape isn't the only different thing with the iPhone 4 - the whole ethos has been tweaked. For instance, no longer is there a slightly plasticky rocker switch to control volume on the left-hand side, as it's now two discrete metal buttons with '+' and '-' written on.
The volume silencer rocker switch is above too, but that has also undergone the uber-metallic treatment.
The top of the phone still holds the headphone jack, and the power/lock key. However, the 3.5mm port is now flush to the chassis, and the power button feels much nicer to hit than before.
There's also a separate microphone for noise cancelling next to this as well - we imagine a few people will be pushing paperclips in there before they realise that it's not for the SIM card slot.
