Well, no I dont work for T-mobile, nor am i working for the NBA... this we know. But I took some screenshots and thought id post this here..
Believe me I searched, multiple combos to not double post.. although I read somewhere about it, but couldnt find that post..
screenshots are below
Layout of App:
1. 4 cam main menu (Home Player Cam, Away Player Cam, Close Up Cam, Scoreboard Cam)
2. there should be pictures of each camera angle... these were taken at the half of the cavs vs magic game 2.
Review:
It could be better, from the clear details that LUKLUK and Youtube HD (on Wifi), its kinda upsetting.. but it does give you great angles..
As for the delay, Id give it 10-15 seconds behind... i thought one time it was maybe 5 seconds, but no, played myself.
Overall, its not a bad deal for .99 cents. Hopefully there can be a better video quality and i guess a more user friendly UI.
By the way this is being used on JFv1.5.
Not in any way am i trying to boost T-Mobile's sales... they got enough of my money with my bills.
Thanks.
Super appreciate this post. Was thinking about getting this app, even though my beloved Blazers have gone fishing.
The screens don't look half as bad as I thought they would. Hows the feed? Choppy? Thanks again.

the feeed isnt too choppy... but i was using wi-fi... i mean i guess its not a waste of a dollar... but you "expect" more i guess, compared to other video streaming apps... but it could get better
But its not really choppy during playback, i havent tested it on 3G i will next game.
but video is watchable and runs smoothly with good connections or wi-fi of course
DAMN CLEVELAND lol good game by the way. anyways yeah i was really tempted too and by the screen shots the clarity is pretty decent so i might have to pick it up even though the seasons almost done lol. but im sure it would be pretty cool to have when you cant watch the game.
Im sorry i kinda looked over it quikly but does it show stats and does it update the score pretty quikly? does it show any instant replays or anything else? j/w
thanx for reviewing this by the way
I would have definitely gotten this app if my Celtics had advanced. Oh well.
Just remember that this will most likely only work for the Eastern Conf. Finals. The four camera angles are what TNT provides on their website so I guess this is linked to that. ESPN covers the Western Conf Finals and ABC will do the Finals.
Though it was still worth it, this series is most likely going to 6 or 7 so 99 cents is definitely worth it so I can watch it in class or away from home.

ya know what, i dont think i even saw the score on there.. lol, ill have to double check... you do have the announcers commentating all game.. i believe its backed by T-mobile through their TNT connection, cus it doesnt do the west coast...
but NBA Game Time has pretty damn accurate scores and complete updates of scores etc... like 5-10 seconds delay... if that

You can now stream video straight from your phone to the internet. Search for qik in the marketplace. This is the same video streaming app that is available on the iphone and it works like a charm. I dont think there is sound though, just images, anyone willing to check it out, im at work
Played with it some.. There is audio. Video quality is decent, speed is poor. Stuttered and stalled often too (streaming via WiFi to Qik, PC I was viewing on was wired to a different broadband connection and both links should have had more than enough bandwidth).
Looks fun - will try again in a few days, hopefully it's just bogged down today since it was just released to a new platform.
Oh, and lag ... I haven't used many webcam / streaming apps, but I had the impression they went faster than this usually.. Shortest lag was 10-15 seconds, typically the stream ran more like 30 - 90 sec behind. Again, looked cool enough that I'll give it a few days or so and try again.
testing it now......
Damn it i cant find it on the market.

Noone is being ungrateful. Someone offered a review of the app, just like anyone else would, unless you want to provide one yourself and sound like you're riding someones nutsack rather than giving a review. But that's just my opinion, just like you have yours. Good day

I'm very grateful for this free app. Better? Seriously, I wasn't trashing it - just giving honest feedback. And if you'd read it again, you see I'm making excuses for most of the bad things about the app (newly released to Android, their servers may have been busy -- plus it may need optimization).
Anyway, yeah - I know it's a phone. But it's got more horsepower and RAM than the first few PCs I owned, combined -- so I know firsthand there's enough power in this thing to do some awesome stuff. I get excited when I see an app like Qik that tries to push the envelope a bit. I hope they do get it optimized and working better.
Just downloaded a new App from the market called Tv.com... For those missing the Sprint TV app, this is a very good replacement... and it is free!
Be sure to check it out...
Yup, very good app. I'm on edge and the videos still load pretty quick. Only downside is it's a cbs app so channel listing is rather limited.
Great start! I wish it wasn't just clips of Showtime shows. Hope more gets added.
I searched tv.com but couldnt find anything
Is it a free or paid app?

its free but with 2 major downfalls..
1 every shows is made into 1-2 minute clips which is annoying as hell to watch.
2. it does not make use of the full screen its like youyube used to be when you were not on wifi
Very nice. The resolution is way better than the Sprint TV app, sound quality is good, and I'm not seeing skips or pixelations.
Now if only the other networks would work on their offerings plus have Netflix streaming... oh to dream...

Hi, has anyone been able to install and use some of the secret video recorders? Basically what I want to achieve is to press an icon, and start a background recording - with camera preview off, and preferably screen off (or just turn on the black screen). maybe we have some talented developers here that could write such an app specially for our gear? $$ donation guaranteed!

Creep shots eh, bit dodgy dude cant see any other reason for it
Best way to accomplish this is to use your Gear as a webcam and record the stream on your device.
Here is an old thread as a reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540662&highlight=tinycam
But I concur your description on usage is disturbing.

nothing wrong with my question, similar threads exists about voice recording.
i was looking for a way to record longer video clips, as some sort of dash cam when driving a warehouse trucks.

Well I don't see why you would want secret recording in a truck this post is very very dodgy and should not be encouraged
display is what consume most of the power on our gear. turn it off and you gain extra hours of functionality.
if i want to take creepy shots, there are better devices out there.
Yes it works
I have to pro edition and it works. The thing is you should set the limit to 10 minutes and the resolution is 640x480 and you are good to go even with the screen off
Clearly the people that are in the Galaxy Gear forum don't understand what you can and can't post.
This request is perfectly logical and is indeed in position to be fulfilled.
Secret recorders exist for sale on many websites, secret recorders exist for phones, secret recorders will exist for the Galaxy Gear. Someone will eventually develop an app specifically for the Galaxy Gear.
Secret recorders are not illegal, nor are they discouraged. In fact there are many practical uses for secret recorders, both video and audio.
You might be able to push an existing app to the gear via ADB, but I'm not sure if it will work/work properly.
Please stop filling threads with unhelpful responses.

thanks for clearing things up rockstar.
i just want to give an update - secret video recorder pro does work on our Gear, incl screen off. framerate seems to be lower than stock though.
Clearing up??
If you didn't called it secret recording, but instead called it something else normal people wouldn't think of you as a person that wanted to go around filming things normal people don't do.
Yes. Call me all fashion, but I don't want people to look at my galaxy gear and think of me as a pervert because someone has been busted using a secret video app on it. Then people start looking at gear as a toy for perverts.
I know spy camera is not used for only kinky stuff, but don't tell me the world needs them.
Do you want people to look at your watch and think bad of you?
If not I think the best way is to not let the media talk about the secret filming.

I agree with you 110% even now I dont use the camera that much as I prefer my phone, for someone to ask for a video recorder where "the screen is off" is really asking for a camera that lets them film people without them knowing, anyone gets busted for doing this then we all get a bad name, I am all for development of our watch but im not into seeing "creepy software" being developed for this.
Camera sound off? yeah a good idea as I dont like drawing attention to my watch, Secret recording? no thanks just too creepy

i'm sure google glass must be the ultimate pervert tool according to that way of thinking
turning off the sound is "as bad" as turning off the screen.
LOL.
Yes. The next ting is a pervert busted filming with secret cam by another with secret cam.
In my country it's not allowed to use "baby cam" filming your own child sleeping.
I guess that will change soon.
For people that have seen the series "person of interest" that may one day be possible .
Where ever you go you are being watched.
I don't even like the "dash cam's" in the cars but that's maybe because of the way I drive. .
Overall it's not good that in the future we are so controlled that every step we take are being watched by gps and camera.
But I understand it's to late to stop it.
As you know in new cars your face are being filmed while you drive and the car are filming where you drive and how fast.
The cars can be stopped remotely and so on.
In my country they want to use that to monitor people's driving an give them automatically tickets.
The speed wil automatically be limited for not much over the speed limit.
And of course stop the cars that are used in a crime.
From 2014 every little company has to monitor every step the the employee are doing all of the working day so that the government can establish if the workers are not working for black money and not paying tax.
It's starting to get crazy.
We called it big brother and science fiction a few years ago.
But in the end crime will probably be harder to do with out getting stopped before it happens.
But again. In my opinion normal people don't go around filming in secret, I understand people that say you are being filmed anyway by other devices.
Maybe in the future the popular thing is go to a non cam allowed restaurant or beach
Before it was not allowed with cameras in public toilets, but now its ok as long as you have a sign.
I guess I'm to old to like it.
Younger generation are more used to it.

Personally I am loving the idea of the secret recorder and it should be called secret recorder. I think it would come in handy when being stopped or questioned by the police. I have heard and read about many situations were officers actually violate the rights of people they have sworn to protect. Another good use would be during a crime. The perpetrator could be recorded without even knowing he is being recorded. This would go a long way to catch a criminal. The possibilities are endless. I don't think that just because someone says they want secret recording we should automatically jump to the conclusion its for perverted reasons.
I use the camera to shoot quick videos I'd otherwise miss of my 2 year old daughter. The problem is she knows what the camera is, so if she sees it on the screen she stops what she's doing and keeps saying 'I want to see it' because she likes watching herself. So I'd love a secret recorder so I could shoot a video of her candidly without her standing there asking to see the video the whole time.
Not everything is for Japanese perverted salarymen, dudes.

watch your back, i'm sure one of the boston saints already called the police and marked you as a possible predator!
in theory, problem is solved. i found the secret video recording app that is working with the gear.
you can get it at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zeronoiseapps.secretvideorecorderpro
when the camera is recording, watch face stays lit - you have to manually switch it off (it continues to record both video and audio).

Any tool can be used for good and bad. It's much better to risk the bad when you can do so much good with this.
Imagine recording the PIGS in the act of brutalizing innocent people on the streets. Recording a robberies, recording rape, etc.
But since this usage hasn't crossed your mind already, you're clearly one of the sheeps of society ready to turn a blind eye and bow your head to the powerful at every corner.

I have a friend who wants to be a cop. (he only told me because I was his best friend) He's got anger management issues. He told me he enjoys every legal chance he can get to beat on people violently. The team who he works with in the force, also takes the same enjoyment whenever legal. He's let me in on so many stories of him and his team beating on people once it's deemed legal. That's the excuse people like him need to be legally protected while unleashing their personal anger issues.
Eventually because of his anger issues, we stopped associating.
Every type of job attracts certain types of people. Think about it.

I worked with several ex, off duty, and retired cops for about 20 years. There were a few nice guys but the majority fit your description exactly.
I know everyone's usage is going to be different, but just curious anyone else's thoughts on this.
Been using the S6 for a solid week now.
I'm in love with it. For now I'm even happy without root, with a few exceptions:
The video MMS: I can't send anything thats more than like, 3 seconds? I know, I can set the "limit for MMS" option but that sucks! The quality shoots wayyy down. My wife and I can send HD 2 minute clips of the kids, etc through each others iPhone 6 without a hitch. I'd like to be able to take a nice video and send it to someone!! Even emailing the vid it has to be less than like 8-10 seconds. And when a video is received from anyone the quality is horrendous. Pixelated junk that can hardly be made out. I don't want to have to upload to a drive service, send them a link to the video, etc. I just want to shoot and send!
Battery: Hasn't been that bad, but far from impressive. Ill charge to 100% around 11pm, go to bed, and wake up with it at 88%. that 88% runs down to 49-52% by lunchtime. I don't do much at work besides listening to a few podcasts (saved to device, not streaming), checking a few emails, and some light web surfing. I need to plug it up at lunch time to keep it up the rest of the day.
thats the main 2 things I'd like root for, optimization of battery and a workaround on that MMS limit, just a friendly discussion if anyone has thoughts.
I don't have the s6. Thinking about it, the Note 4, or the M8/M9. I have the venerable S3.
You may have already done this, but I use Handcent and it has a setting to push the MMS limit to 1.2 MB. That may help. Can't recall if stock messenger has that setting feature.
When I get a pic or video from my daughter (of my adorable grandkids) I find that if you save it to SD card, exit out of messenger app, and then view it in Gallery, it often is much better.
Yes I agree, my iPhone 6 sent video with no issues, can anyone help us. I really love this phone but why can't we send a video

I can't help with the video MMS, I have never tried to send.
As for the battery life, make sue you have the latest Google Play Services installed. There is a thread in the General section you can get the download from. You should not be loosing that much over night. Also make sure you uninstall/disable any apps you do not use. After about a week the battery life should even out and improve. This might not have any merrit, but I always try to run the battery down, shut the phone off and let it charge to 100%.

Almost any method of sending messages over internet will work for video. It's just the phone carriers who limit data on their network. imessage on iPhone is essentially a web based messenger. Your options on Android include (but not limited to) Facebook messenger, Google hangouts, and whats app messenger. All of these will send videos no problem.
Use Hangouts. Does your wife have a Google account? If so, that should work a lot better for sending pictures and video because it'd be sending it over the internet instead of SMS/MMS

My understanding is that these batteries will wear more quickly if you run them down completely. I think it's better to find a happy medium of charging somewhere in the middle. Of course that's not always a possibility or ideal.
I came across this site, which may or may not be a good source, but it echoes ideas I've seen elsewhere, including these forums.

I was about to say Google has hangout. Should be already installed on your phone.

thanks everyone…I'll try the Hangouts route. Just wish Android had an iMessage type feature.
But I don't see the option to send video using hangouts, it says nothing about sending videos

Yeah, I just tried to sending a vid for kicks, but unless I'm mistaken, you can't send videos in Hangouts. If there is a way, I have no clue, since I never send video to people.
EDIT: Google has a messaging app separate from Hangouts called Messenger, but I've never tried it. You might be able to send vids in the Messenger app. Only used Hangouts and the default messaging app on my phone. I would link to it, but as of this post, I don't have enough posts to post links.
I know whatsapp can send video

My understanding is that these batteries will wear more quickly if you run them down completely. I think it's better to find a happy medium of charging somewhere in the middle. Of course that's not always a possibility or ideal.
I came across this site, which may or may not be a good source, but it echoes ideas I've seen elsewhere, including these forums.

Modern lithium batteries wear down in measurements called cycles. That being said going from 100% to 0% to 100% is cycle. Here's the the rub though, you can go 100% to 50% and charge it back to 100% and it isn't a full cycle it's a half cycle. Either way the battery will wear the same and yield the same power output during its life span any way you use it.

With Whatsapp, you have to pay for the service after the 1st year. It's only $0.99/year, but keep that in mind. Some people don't wanna pay for apps in general, so thought I should put it out there.
I have messenger and I don't see a option to send videos either.android need something like imessage ASAP
To send video always is problem, have same myself. Some app allow you to send it but only short videos, up to 30 seconds for example, which is nothing. Also, big problem for S6 I have is with battery which is down verry fast, must filled every day (sometimes I do it twice a day because I use it often. Good thing about Galaxy S6 is that is pretty "sturdy" and quality (just watch this test, lol), which is really important to me because sometimes I am really "clumsy". At the end of the day, "almost perfect" is great name for thread about this phone.

Click on the lil paperclip, then just scroll down to the video. Click on the vid, then you should be able to send it.
