Do you see a change in design of the HOX+ compared to the HOX?
Once you've answered that question I'm guessing you answered your own too

It doesnt need a major design change, the lense must be put back just some 0,1mm.

I remember reading somewhere that the lens has been retracted

If this is true then I apologize for my previous post, I haven't read anything about these issues being fixed so therefore I assumed they would still be present ^.^

The vibrant is basically just the I9000 (form factor wise anyways).
The mounting stuff was not taken out, just the camera itself, so our hack to get the FFC working is just to snap it in & install a new kernel that supports it.
The I9000 didn't have a flash, so it's not that easy for the vibrant. It doesn't have anything to mount it to or anywhere to plug it in at all.
So, if it's possible, it would probably be a significant hack to accomplish.
Thanks Dude. I figured that if it could be done it wuld have already been done. Oh well I wait till August and get whatever is out then.

this is why all the devs left XDA and started all their own forums because the amount of useless new threads opened is pathetic. Even Cyanogen doesnt mess w/ XDA anymore becazuse ppl dont bother to read anymore....they should remove the new thread button in vibrant android dev forum unless u register as android dev and a MOD approves u...this has gotten waaaaaaaay out of hand
I've been working on a custom mod of mine own with 3 led on my back plate and cover everything with a external another back cover. I'm almost done with the project.

That is the kind of arrogance that makes me glad of the types that left. Yes theres a FAQ, and yes, there are a few that wont read it. Honestly, the FAQ (at least in the vibrant forum) is a frakin mile long! I can easily see how someone may miss it. Informative yes, but give people a break! Not to mention the breakup into 4 separate sub-forums ect ect, its easy for someone new or doesnt come often to not find their way around well.
Been going on for years, and will persist after you leave.
It's not a completely stupid or worthless question because I see it as do-able. I'm no dev...nor have I worked with the hardware on this phone, but I have thought about integrating a luminous LED as part of the flash. I think it could be as simple as finding th current that turns the camera lens on and integrating the LED power into it. Even if it doesn't 'Flash'...it's still a 'flash' equivalent lighting setting.
The FFC was do-able...I think someone can make a suitable flash for our camera.
Makes me want to work on it myself...
I spent a good 10-15 minutes in the camera app trying to figure out how to turn on flash before I realized the phone didnt have a flash on it! What a surprise damn you samsung!

course a flash would be lovely.but realistically the request to some how install a flash even when no original i9000 variant have a flash built into the unit to simply snap in is ridiculous. lollll
Don't be so quick to judge, I myself have wondered what if this phone had a flash. Honestly, it'd be friggin sweet! That goes without saying.
@Haxel: Awesome points, great attitude!
@p unit: I'm intrigued by your project, have you thought about somehow incorporating an LED flash into an extended battery back plate? More battery life, and maybe since the cover is bigger, you might have more room to work with on fitting a flash in.
good luck!

They are talking about a physical flash a light. not the light software program.
I thought it was a great question since the Fascinate has one. I don't see why having a moderator approve your question would be necessary, since none of the questions would ever get posted since they are questions that are usually way below their intelligence level. Let's be honest here, we as junior members look to developers, kangers and such for advice, guidance, and help. Having an attitude toward the people that look up to you for your knowledge, is pompous, arrogant, and simple minded. If you think there are too many questions, then don't read the posts (you should know what it's about by the title anyway). If you don't have anything to contribute other than a bad attitude, then don't respond and the rest of us will learn the hard way. You guys who don't want to read our questions weren't born with the knowledge you have, so don't assume that just because someone has a question, doesn't mean they haven't tried. Give some of us the benefit of the doubt. We don't all have our faces crushed into a computer screen all day you know........

I have seen an external clip-on type of flash light that you can clip it on your phone and take picture in the dark. I forget which website I saw it. However, it is still in production and not yet available until probably mid or end of this year, so just keep your eyes open.

Anyone has the HTC One X?

Hi,
I´ve been toying with the idea of getting the One X and I´m wondering if anyone here has it. I´ve had the GS1 and presently I have the GS2. I watch A LOT of video with it, so the display and multimedia capabilities are a huge deal for me. The GS2 does stellar on both. It plays any formart/codec you may throw at it natively (no need for special players) and there is no need to go on about its´ the mind blowing gorgeous super amoled screen.
Other than these 2 major concerns I´m wondering if you can really notice the benefits of the quad core processor on day to day activities. I´ve watched several benchmarks where the GS2 was not far behind.
So far i dont see why we need a quad core phone~ most apps even cant fully use the dual core phone~~
doesnt matter

Why isn´t this the relevant forum? I know many many people who own several high end smartphones and latest addition is not necessarily the main one. There may also be people here who bought the ONE X and decided to go back to the GS2.
I really don´t understand why people need to pollute threads with pointless comments that have nothing to do with what is being discussed.

i agree. A forum entited Samsung Galaxy SII Question and Answers is quite clearly the correct section to post a thread about the HTC One X
Its obvious, cant see why anyone would think otherwise

What is obvious is that you have a hard time interpreting what you read. Don´t have anything to say...don´t say say it.

I agree. Dual core is perfectly fine. I´m enticed by the screen size and the fact that it is supposed to be REALLY good. For this price range I could also go with the Skyrocket HD (slightly smaller screen BUT super amoled...dual core and expandable memory via micro sd card).

i read perfectly well, you it seems do not. At what point in your post are you asking a question or needing an answer about the Samsung Galaxy S II?
When they create a thread called "General Comparisons" I´ll post there. I´ve explained once that what I´m looking for it´s the opinion of GS2 users...which logically I should get HERE.
even though this forum is for the s2, its ok to have posts like this so we s2 users could discuss about a phone newer than ours
ive been edging about this phone since its a quad and a better screen, but the idea of no micro sd slot, fixed battery and 8mp camera isnt a winner for me, i need room for my CWM recoveries and a spare battery to use while the other is charging, i wouldnt care if the S2 had a better Ppi pixel density but 217 is too low for me in browsing.
its currently not worth upgrading, i dont think a quad will improve the experience on android yet

HELP! Capacitive Buttons on Screen ?!?

Hello,
While changing my front glass screen of my S3, i've damaged the capacitive button interface, i've already ordered one new for replacement, but until there is there any way to have the buttons on screen like Nexus (NavBar) in a Touchwiz JB ROM? NOT like an AOKP or CM based rom.. I know that those have that option like paranoidrom.
Regards.
Check the first rule of XDA. Hint: you just broke it.
Your thread is also in the wrong section. Questions go in the QA
You're right.. i've posted on the wrong section...
About searching i've already did and didn't found anything for a International touchwiz JB ROM, can you post here an answer? or you just broke the rule 7 about this one?
Regards.

took me 3 seconds
Well.. i got to admit, you're very good using google.. but i still didn't found anything on those results that works on a JB touchwiz, not CM10 based ROM, did you?
Rule N1
"Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news."
OUR=Google.. oh my bad, i've used XDA search engine, maybe its the same engine.. I dont know.
I Really apreciate your help, maybe i didn't said that i've tried everything on those results previously and that they didn't worked for me, it causes BootLoop's, so you assumed that i didn't searched anything, may be i didn't melted my brain searching but i've searched alot, im a member since 2008 and this is my 1st thread started by me, so i didnt started the thread without having a little fight with search options.
Thank you for you help.

Camera Problem Noise

Hello All
I am new here.. and too about samsung.
I bought an used i777 and I am happy whit it. but the problem is a noise when use the camera, like it video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toDlY8Txb4M
So I like to know if I can fix it, replace the camera or what I need to do?
I am on honduras and my english is to bad.
thanks
Hello all.
no body had this problema? Camera read noise?
There is already a thread with this same issue, it stems from the autofocus mechanism in the lens I think. You should be able to purchase a new camera and replace it. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

[Q] eMMC bug woes

Hi, all.
So, I have an S3 with the eMMC bug, and have just sent it back to Samsung.
They've told me they aren't going to fix it, as it has a chip in the front glass which voids the warranty. To get the actual problem fixed, I have to spend over £130 on a glass replacement.
So, needless to say, I've asked for it back.
I'd like to run CM10.1 on it, but need a fixed kernel. it was crashing before while on CM, and so would like to try another out.
Could anyone tell me which AOSP kernels have the fix?
I've seen the list, and am interested in the Googy-Max kernel, but would like to know if it integrates the fix!
Can anyone help me out?
I would ask this on the respective threads, but my post count is too low, and so I can't post there.
Thanks,
messageman3
