I don't do videos so I can't say, but the factor about the light bleed, some get used to it like I did since it's only noticeable on dark backgrounds, you can always shut it off and some people never had it at all, surprisingly, maybe you'll be one of those.
Next time please post all questions in q&a, thank you.

Never had the light bleed, and what little video I record seems to be fine.

[Q] Can i change the screen sensitivity?

I'm coming from an iPhone and even though i love my new SGS2 the only negative i find is typing. I loved the iPhone keyboard and I'm trying to get a similar experience. So far I'm using Smart Keyboard pro with iPhone skin but even though it's pretty close i cant get the same feeling because the screen is not as sensitive. i have to press the space bar twice sometimes to register.
is there a way i can make the screen more sensitive?
Or if not is there another keyboard that will make my typing experience more similar to the iPhone one?
Thank you.

Very interesting but unfortunately it only supports English language. I also need Greek support.
thanks for the answer though.

Can anyone tell me at least if its possible or point me to the right direction?
If you're genuinely having to hit keys twice sometimes just to get them to register then I'd actually question whether there's an issue with your handset because I've never heard of that happening before on this phone or any of the previous Android handsets I've used.

There's nothing wrong with my handset. Just coming from an iPhone you hardly even have to touch the screen for the keystroke to register. If you had used an iPhone you would know what I'm talking about. Ive reed somewhere that the SGS2 has the same capabilities and that with the right settings it can register a keystroke from 1mm away from the screen. But i don't know where to find this settings.
No one can at least tell me if its possible or not so i can stop looking?

as far as im aware there is no way of adjusting the capacative sensitivity, IMO though (coming from iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and Desire HD) the SGS2 screen is just as good if not better. slightest touches register instantly and think its an amazing screen !
if your problem really is as you suggest, i think there is a problem with the capacative screen and may need to get it repaired

[Q] Two features I have not heard about

I wont even get started on the SG3 vs E4GLTE debate. Played with both for an extnsive period of time and it will honestly come to flipping a coin. Not a fan boy of either. Not starting a flame war.
Two questions:
1-Does the SG3 have the HD voice feature?
I ask because if it has the sound quality of an IP phone to IP phone. Wow....I mean these are phones first and foremost(am i right?)
2-Can you snap photos while recording video?
Not a deal breaker but still a "nifty" feature.
Thanks for your help/input everyone.
yes you can snap photos when taking video...not too sure about HD Voice tho. I haven't noticed anything.
Thanks for the quick reply pizzle.
The HD Voice feature is one of those "it will come when LTE is here" things.
I don't think it has HD Voice... not that you'd be able to use it frequently anyways, as it requires both phones to be HD Voice compatible.

You are correct. For me it is more of a "future proof" feature. Kind of like how I see the 2 gigs of RAM on the GS3

How do you get it to take the still pic. I've tried a bunch of things with no luck. The Galaxy Nexus it was just click the screen but definitely not working for me on this unit.
It should have a camera button beside record/stop on the screen. You just use that while recording

There is tiny silver button above record button, it appears once you start recording.

I read on another thread that you need to have image stabilization off for video to be able to take stills. It's a great feature. A little camera button pops up right above the recording button on the screen.

[Q] Camera Click?

I recently replaced my broken dev edition (camera was broken- it rattled whenever the phone vibrated) with a T-Mobile edition. I am on complete stock and have not yet unlocked the bootloader. Ive noticed that the camera clicks whenever I launch an app that uses it. Sometimes its a very soft click, and other times its a extremely loud clock, kind of like a snapping noise. I did not see this issue on my dev edition, so I am not entirely sure whether it should be there and because my camera was broken before I didnt hear it, or if I got another faulty device. Does anyone else hear/notice this on their device? Is it maybe fixed in later firmware versions, and only and issue on 1.27.x roms? Thanks in advance.
I believe this is normal it happens to me too on both of my H1's and also my old sensation. It's like the camera sensor is adjusting once some app gains access to it

Alright cool thanks! I was just unsure since my first one didnt have it, but that camera was broken. Wanted to be sure before I unlocked and started flashing, in case I need to replace it again, which would have made me very unhappy.

Mine is very quiet all the time though. I'd say don't worry, but I'm not sure why yours might be inconsistent in the volume?
Interesting. Mine consistently varies in volume.

Hi!
My camera does make the a sound every time I open an camera app, too. However, stock camera app doesn't make the sound as loud, and sometimes there's no click sound when opening stock camera app. Every time I open LineCamera, though, the camera makes a very noticeable click sound.
It's the OIS

Ok guys. I am noticing that when the device vibrates when I am getting a call I can hear the camera rattling on this device as well. It does not rattle all the time like the previous one did. Does anyone else notice this? I can both see and hear the camera rattle.

[Q] small sound from camera hardware?

Hi, I'm not sure if this a problem or not. everytime when I tap to focus on camera app, whatever it is stock or 3rd party camera app, there's a small sound like "tick!" from inside, near the camera zone. anyone also has this problem?
sorry for my bad english

All of my phones do that when the camera is turned on. (DX, S4, Nexus 4, HTC one, Old Desire)
It's interesting as an app a friend made "didn't use the camera" but I could hear that destinctive 'tick' noise! Shady!

maybe it's a bit "fail" hardware from HTC manufacture. I still remember when first time I unboxing I dont hear this kind of sound. then it become louder untill now. hopefully will not become more serious. :good:

If you shake the old Desire (bravo) you can hear that noise, it is a moving part afaik in the camera hardware. My old one always did it and I never had an issue. It's how you know the camera is actually activating. I wouldn't imagine it is an issue, and as I said nearly all my android devices do the same thing! I wouldn't worry.

I believe that is actually the camera sensor autofocusing,you can actually see it. Open the camera app,turn the phone and take a good look at the camera,you can see it basically "jumping".

It should take some time to update, still talking to asus though on the bootloader for the 5.7, still awaiting that answer. However yay finally.

Only real difference I've found so far is the always on backlight and the allways on screen, though if you have a case that turns screen on/off it kills that function...
Haven't made any calls so can't comment on that.
The update is around 200mb... It's not Android 7...

It would have been nice if there was also an always off for the backlight. I guess they skipped my request I can't imagine someone would want the backlight keys on all the time. To each their own I guess. They said there were camera improvements, but I haven't tested that out yet.

The Always On back light for the keys for me is quite useful when operating the phone in the dark. It it the same as a computer keyboard with back light. I'm glad they added this feature, otherwise it's as good as not having any back light at all for the keys.
I also see a definite improvement in the audio quality. Earlier while playing tracks with silence, there was a slight hissing sound (using audiophile headphones) and I had reported this to Asus. I checked this now with a few tracks and it seems like this is fixed. I hear absolutely no hissing and the audio is crisp and clear even at high volumes. !

That's interesting. At night is when the backlight annoys me. I'd prefer they don't ligh up. Glad they made someone happy though. I'll still wait and hope for an always off feature.

Definitely put in your requests through email and at the zentalk forum. Could be coincidence, but I almost feel like the 'always on backlit' was done at a specific person's request (seen here) because it was early on and they were so vocal on the forum for this issue. Also the forum's audience isn't that big - so more of a chance to be heard.

Thanks for the idea. I signed in, but unfortunately it won't let me post to that board. I wonder why?
