Galaxy S II? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

http://www.youmobile.org/article/Samsung-I9100-Galaxy-S2
OKay so this phone looks good, bigger screen, faster, 4g, etc etc but can anyone confirm if it STILL doesn't have LED notification?
Hopefully they don't change anything up for the U.S. versions! Was thinking about switching and getting the HTC pyramid but even though samsung sucks with updates, but the Samsung community on XDA is so strong that I'm sticky with samsung.

I already posted about it yesterday :')
axura 2.3.0 with adw launcher ex

Yes was posted yesterday, still a nice phone........this will be my next

freaking 8 Megapixel camera??? god damn it samsung as much as they suck, they make great phones.
oh almost forgot
to the guy asking for LED thats what it said:
CAMERA Primary 8 MP, 3264x2448 pixels, autofocus, LED flash
Features Geo-tagging, touch focus, face and smile detection, image stabilization
Video Yes, 1080p
Secondary Yes, 2 MP

I think he means one of the front for notifications

ya sry I didn't know you posted already and yes i did mean in the front for notifications

u could always use BLN-Control...it actually lights ur menu and search when there's a notification...not as gud as a pure led notification but something's better than nothing.

This version includes the following features:
- Video Calls for more Android devices (Sony Ericsson X10, Dell Streak).
- fring should be running smoother on Froyo.
- Some other improvements.
We'll be glad to get your impressions, comments, suggestions, bug reports etc.
Thanks,

I've tested it. I can confirm no front camera. Just uses the main camera, which is kinda useless.

No Guys, I'm sorry...
There is no front cam installed.
Seach for my "Upskirt Shots" Thread.
If you find a frontcam, please post the lottery numbers for coming Saturday

i m also confusing with this. arent we all knew that x10 have no front camera since they first day published?
I saw a video by CoolSmartPhone.com on youtube with a white x19 with a front facing camera. S o n y Ericsson Xperia X10 - The on-screen keyboard and dialing
A lot of salespeople saw the proximity sensor and assumed it was a cam... I think that's where this rumor started
there is no front camera....
i have tried using video chat apps which use front camera..they said no front camera detected.
maybe the latest fring version lets u use main camera.
i dont miss it though..
my bro has iphone4 ..he keeps facetiming with his GF...
Facetime is lame. What's the point if you can't make 3g video calls? If you're at home might as well use your laptop/desktop that has a better screen + better quality
so, this is?

Front Camera
There are X10 knock-offs floating around on Madeinchina.com (from the site just do a search on X10 and you'll see exactly what i'm talking about)
Many of these knock-off's have dual sim card slots, front and rear facing camera's, radio, even built in television.
However I can't confirm if any of them are using the Android OS. Its possible that where ever this confirmation came from originally - that the person was using one of these knock-offs.
Also to note - the camera resolution on these knock-offs are considerably lower than the true X10. Usually about 4mps for the rear camera, and 1.5mps for the front facing.
Screen size is usually a bit smaller. And I would imagine the resolution of the screen wouldn't be HD.
I have though made my decision. The next cellphone I buy will probably be an android based knock-off. Why? If I'm not going to get support from the manufacture anyways what the heck is the point in paying the high price. When I say support I mean continued updates and upgrades. All the work is now being done by the public - not the manufacture. I'd rather save the money by not buying the name brand, and donating to the developers who make this stuff work.

Out of curiosity, on the X10 what does the Proximity sensor do?
I have the message LED's that light up, that I noticed. The blue LED for facebook messages. is this a different LED to indicate something else?

My only regret

... The camera, Coming from an HTC device with 0 shutter lag is painful. Especially since 90 % of my pictures are of my 10month old daughter, the 1-3 seconds between the time i press the shutter button and when it actually snaps is killing me. Then it doesn't help that it freezes and shows the picture i want but then save the frame from 2sec. Later, please tell me this isn't the norm and i need to send it back

I hate to say it but it seems to be normal for the camera,mine is the same way,if you want a fast camera try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spritefish.fastburstcameralite&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zcHJpdGVmaXNoLmZhc3RidXJzdGNhbWVyYWxpdGUiXQ.. that is the free version which don't allow any settings to be changed like the paid version but it is super fast.
I'm hoping ICS will fix this. It IS painfully slow...sometimes it takes as much as 5 seconds before it has written the image and I can take another.
I feel your pain man, but have bad news for you. Them lil monsters dont slow down any, so you better learn to live by the motto "accuracy through volume". I have twin 2.5 year olds. I just start tapping that shutter button and dont bother with the preview, just snap snap snap and hope for the best.
I have noticed severe shutter lag as well. I thought it was the ROM I was using (TPC) but found the same thing with both Saurom and stock.

That's what I do with action shots with any camera. Preview is nice, but you're best off to fire off shots, then sort through the pics later.
Camera360 doesn't do this, so I'm guessing it's something wrong with the OS build.
Its the camera app...not the camera. I have been playing with camera apps from other devices like the skyrocket and they work with no lag but the ui is off (size/ resolution difference)
Someone pulled the ics camera app and posted in the apps section a while back btw

hmm... interesting
i just tested, it's not as exageratd as 3 mili sec lag, but it does take at least 1 mili sec before you are able to shoot again
i say it's intresting because on the T989 which have practically the same innars except for the high res screen, and LTE radio
the camera on the T989 is instant, i can shoot non stop, 0 mili sec lag

[Q] Camera taking lousy pictures...am i the only one?

i have the settings for the camera on the highest res and auto focus, yet i still get sub-par pictures. we took my Note on vaca to the beach in the Mayan Riviera in April, and the pictures were lousy quality. my old iP 3GS took better pix that appeared of a higher resolution.
am i missing something?
i just turned on the anti-shake setting. could that have been the culprit? or is there some camera app that will "fix" my camera and make it seem like the 8 MP beast i thought it would be.
(BTW, my wife brought her 8MP Galaxy S and her pix came out way better from our mexican vaca...)

Even on my stock GB, camera takes good pictures.
Can you post an example? Maybe it will help us to notice something.
Or, your expectation is really high for this camera.

Missed the point...don't quote the op was the main request, if you wanted to be short and to the point, having to scroll through the post right above it is counter intuitive
Never had any problems. In fact my notes camera quality draws compliments.

I too have noticed a lack of sharpness in the stock cam. I just dnldd the other and didn't see much difference if I compared the two test pics side by side but since I am in a dark room...I then changed settins on both to night and then took one each and the Camera ICS shot was MUCH sharper and had a much better white balance. I'll try some out in the sun today and report back
great, tx red :good:

Decent camera for AOSP?

Hey so I'm really a big fan of CMX, but I am far too spoiled by the Sense camera. Anyone know of ONE good camera app that can do burst the same way, supports the button the same way, and really is as much like the Sense one as possible?
Give this one a try.

the s3 camera can do burst mode, but it doesn't have the best image picker, it just saves them all.
seconded
I'll be looking info the s3 camera app. Only reason I'm using cm10 as my daily driver.

Where can I get the S3 camera? I've been looking but, knowing myself as well as I do, I probably looked right at it and didn't realize.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
It's listed in the OP of either the paranoid Android thread or the codename android thread.
from my flying AOKP'd Evo LTE and xda premium
The s3 camera is nice. It only does a 5 pic burst and it's not a "press and hold the button" its a setting that you have to turn on when you wanna use it.
It's ok, but not even close to the sense camera which is unfortunate. Still love JB tho
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Personally I really like the Sense Camera and it was difficult at first to even consider AOSP due to the amount of horrible camera apps out there. BUT... I do enjoy the S3 Camera. Yes it doesn't burst when you hold the capture button as Rippley05 said, but it will burst to 5, 10, 15, or 20 pics at a time depending on what you set it to. There is also issues with 1080p recording, but I hardly ever do video so that doesn't matter to me.
It has all the other functionality that the HTC app has. I also think it takes better night or dark lit photos with less banding and noise. I'm happy with the CM10 9/29 nightly and this app. It will take some time for sense to win me back.

why touch to focus does not change the focus area?

Hello
im first S3 user and past about 56 smartphones in 4 years (yeah that much) most of them were Camera-phones.
after my S1/S2/ IPHONE 4S/Xperia S Camera-phones i'v noticed something really annoying in the Camera department
of the S3..:silly:
when i doing the "touch to focus" the light in the area not changing.
for example : if i shooting a landscape and i focus the ground it stay's dark until I'm moving the camera away to the ground.
also when shooting at dawn/sunrise until i move the camera completely from the light source i cant take a decent photo
because it makes it too dark and focusing in other area in the scene does not help.
Like the exposure not changing at all..
took my GF SAMSUNG S2 and a HTC ONE X and guess what? i can focus in verity of areas without any problem
and take great shots in sunny scenes,took an iPhone 4S and also without any problems.
also used HDR but it does not seems to work ether
what can cause the problem?
i described as much as i can..hope that you can figure "what the heck that guy want from us"
someone?
same for me
It seems that here is happening the same.. I haven't realized that so far, I'm paying more attention now
try a different app like camera zoom fx. I won't post th link as posting of paid app is not allowed on XDA.
:good:
Im not using a 3rd party apps but I'v try'd out and no change at all..
Thanks for the reply m8
