Here is another quick tip and trick for Samsung Galaxy S2 users who love to watch movie or video clips. Press Power button during video playback (work in built-in video player, does not work in YouTube) will lock the touchscreen, Menu, Home and Back keys. You can still adjust the volume while in lock mode.
Samsung Galaxy S II stock video player is a very powerful video player as it is hardware accelerated. However, it does not play all the video format. Samsung Galaxy S2 supports MPEG4, H.264, H.263, WMV, DivX, Xvid and VC-1 video format at 1080p Full HD. You don’t need 3rd party video player if all your videos are in those formats. But I do have other video formats that I want to play like RMVB, MOV, FLV, MKV… So I tested several free and paid video player from Android Market ~ MoboPlayer, QQPlayer, arcMedia, SeamanPlayer, Kascend Video, VPlayer, BSPlayer, RockPlayer, MX Video Player, Daroon Player, DICE Player and Mobo Video Player. Guess which one is the best video player for Samsung Galaxy S2 which uses ARMv7 + Neon architecture.
The best part for Windows Phone 7 on HTC HD2 ~ 720p video recording. However, the built-in camera application will capture VGA size video by default. And you need to change it to 720p every time you launch it. Haha… This problem solved with the help of SHCameraApp. SHCameraApp is a camera application for HTC HD2 with full resolution up to 5MP and auto-focus & touch focus support. Furthermore, you can save camera settings for photo and video. So no more changing to 720p manually.
