Motion Detector Features in Galaxy S3

I must say I think the motion detector feature are very nifty in the Galaxy S3. The screen capture, zoom in and out or auto dial if you put the phone to your ear.

My favourite if a contact is up on the screen (whether a text or missed call from them) and you put it to your face/ear it calls the contact. Its convenient as you don’t have to swipe or click the phone icon to call the person.

So S3 gang which motion feature do you like the best and what do you think would have been a good motion feature to add in the future?

The iPhone 5 will be so much better. Its going to make me chai.

:hehe: Do share some chai with us S3 lot too.

Re: Motion Detector Features in Galaxy S3

LOL, It will even dance for you!

Re: Motion Detector Features in Galaxy S3

I like that you can read a document and the screen will stay bright while you're looking at it, so no need to tap it again and again, and when you're done and look away, it dims and darkens. That's the Smart Stay feature...dunno if comes under the motion category you wanted CDG.

Then of course you can take screenshots by waving ur hand over the screen from left to right or right to left.

Re: Motion Detector Features in Galaxy S3

Oh and also if u pick up ur phone after a while, it will remind you of all your missed calls/texts/emails. It has this built in heavy vibrational sound that buzzes upon motion. It makes it feel like the phone is acknowledging your presence. (yeah yeah, that’s the way I describe things :blush:).

Re: Motion Detector Features in Galaxy S3

I like that the screenshot doesn’t require 2 different keys now. Well you can still do it by using the power and menu buttons.

Oh yes, that’s a good one if you are in a meeting or class or work. Just put it upside down and every now and then flip it over and even without looking you will know if there are any notifications.

Re: Motion Detector Features in Galaxy S3

I have to tell you the funniest thing TLK said. So I was telling him how can you make a phone call by taking the phone near your ear when u have the contact up (as you mentioned in your first post) so he says: Whenever I do that, all it does is take screenshots. SO he has tons of screenshots in his gallery of contacts :omg:. It was so funny the way he said it that I rotfl-ed inside the car…ummm…I really did. :smiley:

Re: Motion Detector Features in Galaxy S3

Also, when you press and hold an icon on the screen and move the phone to the left or right, it lets you move that icon to the new screen where you stop. Takes a bit to control it, but pretty nifty none-the-less.

Re: Motion Detector Features in Galaxy S3

And if let's say ur in class CDG and ur not sure if ur phone is on mute/vibrate, just put ur phone facing down and it'll mute all calls. Just make sure you have the Turn over to mute feature enabled in settings.

Re: Motion Detector Features in Galaxy S3

aww sorry to hear TLK’s phone is having trouble distinguishing between his palm and face. :confused:

Re: Motion Detector Features in Galaxy S3

I know. Must be the hand cream he uses on his face these days :( to save money.

Re: Motion Detector Features in Galaxy S3

Oh now I get what that feature meant, that's neat! Now my instructor won't say "Sara, what's so important on the phone?" :p

Re: Motion Detector Features in Galaxy S3

See, I know u were up to no good missy. Pay attention now, or I'll have your phone confiscated :ASA:!

Re: Motion Detector Features in Galaxy S3

really instructors say that now? they should be used to it now.

Re: Motion Detector Features in Galaxy S3

Yes, some do. They have a thing against technology. :/

Re: Motion Detector Features in Galaxy S3

They may not have anything against technology, but they sure as hell do have a thing about being interrupted and people not paying attention. I don't think that's restricted to teachers either.

Re: Motion Detector Features in Galaxy S3

I wasn’t interrupting the teacher and my phone was actually already on silent. She wasn’t teaching at that time. :snooty:
