When you're recording a video. Audio directly going towards the back of the phone as opposed to underneath where your hands will probably be.

Also for noise canceling

Is it a socket for an external antenna or is like a mic or speaker?

It's antenna socket.
I don't know if it's antenna socket,if so,there is another one...Look at the picture...I found the picture in this forum-dissasembling X10...
Sorry for my bad english.l

I say it is a mic
why would unused antenna socket need an opening in the back cover? Also, it is too shallow to be an actual connector and... why put it under a cover?
It's the flux capacitor. Or something that Dr Who put in so you can make calls through time and space.. it is leading edge it is.

hole above volume buttons

does anyone know what the hole above the volume buttons is for? had a search on google but cant find a answer. thanks for any info.
Noise cancellation microphone
Edit: o maybe it isn't... I dunno lol speed holes most likely

It`s for a wrist strap, the hole next to the headphone socket is for the Noise cancellation microphone.
how does the wrist strap fit to it then? coz they normally loop back on themselves to keep attatched to the phone but i cant see the bar it wud loop round. or is it a lock in type? thanks for the replys
You put the strap though the hole with the back off the phone and the strap loops over a pin and the back cover stops the strap pulling out.
The picture below is from the user manual.

you got that info from wolfson chip circuit diagram right? the max output power is 2w then, hopefully the speakers can handle it. also the speaker part looks pretty similar to the one in Note.
I'm not into diagrams myself, i just read a whole lot of sources mentioning anything about S3 including all threads on XDA
So i just remember that info from somewhere

Camera Issues after installing int'l kernel

Well, first time around the camera was just black. Read about other people having the same issues, basically, don't apply the camera fix.
After I got out of that mess, I ended up with blurry images, the camera won't focus at all.

Found the issue, broken auto focus in the camera hardware. You can't hear it when you shake the phone around either. Going in for a replacement.

So it was just a coincidence after flashing the kernel?

Probably, because my wifes htc one has a rattle while mine doesn't and I hadn't taken any pictures with it before that, hard to tell.
