I'm assuming it's the red-ish glow in the center? That's the only thing I notice other than my topic listed right by the mouse cursor...

Ahhhh...gotcha. I went back and looked at it again and noticed it this time. I just got my GS2 and it's still charging, but I'll take some pics when I turn it on and post back with the results.
Is this on all pictures you take?
Here's a picture I just took...

That's not as bad, but my Infuse had zero issues, same with my iPhone 3GS.
The lighting is pretty bad in this room as well, so that explains the difference between my photo and yours.
Edit: @SPIDERTECH: It seems to be on ALL photos in crappy lighting. Can't notice it during the day while outside.
Just googled the issue and there are tons of documented cases and complaints out there Seems to be an issue with the hardware.
Take a picture of something that isn't viewing-angle-dependent before claiming there's an issue please.
My first instinct is that the camera is somewhat IR-sensitive (this is EXTREMELY common in cell phone cameras due to lack of space for a hot mirror filter) and the screens being imaged have higher IR content when viewed dead-on. (In both pictures, the red spot appears where the camera is viewing the screen dead-on. In the first picture the camera was centered in front of the screen, in the second the camera was at the lower right aimed up and left.)

That explains a lot.....So it's not a hardware fault? Just a limitation?
Mine done the red thing with taking a pic of my screen but here is a pic I took outside

I'll take a further look at it tonight, but IR sensitivity is not exactly rare in digital cameras, especially cheaper/smaller ones. Good hot mirrors (IR-blocking filters) cost money AND they're large.
Yeah I have the same problem, I took pictures of the tile floor at my parents house, and it had a red center to it also, is their a way to fix this?
Also for the love of god, why does this video camera not have image stabilization? every video is shaky as hell.

I'm making a template for my Prime to make my own Skin to protect the tablet. I have included the template in this post. I will also make a template for the backside of the dock later on.
I just tried the template with a piece of 3M DiNoc and everything seems to align pretty well. I couldnt check the speaker holes because when i heated the DiNoc the holes closed again. I will make some pictures tomorrow in the morning with daylight.
Do note that it is still work in progress. If you like it press thanks
Sample pictures of tablet skin added.
Outstanding! Thank You!
Thanks! Keep it up!
It would be nice to see a template that has a cut out where the dock is at the bottom (because of the people saying it doesn't fit well with the protectors)

I will see what i can do for you, but i'm not experiencing any problems with my protector.
Added some sample pictures
Any way you could attach the actual 1:1 scale? of the template?
That would be great.

The dots on the template should be pretty much aligned. I made small holes with a pin but due too the nature of 3M DiNoc the holes "closed" again when i heated the material.
Hey JCreations, thanks a lot for putting this out here. Quick question: when you print this template what are your page size and margins?
thanks for the template, I modified it for the speaker and used with a clear vinyl i had at job...
attached the image..

Just print the png included in the rar as is, it should be just right.
@2fastkuztoms: Great to see it worked out for you. Could you by any chance see if the speakerholes are aligned correctly if you still have some clear vinyl?
I will be making the other templates shortly, so keep an eye out for this topic =)

Are there any detailed guides or videos on how to remove/replace the camera module on the SG2? The only one I've found shows how to disassemble everything but the rear camera...

Do you want to remove the whole camera or just the glas protecting it ? Why would you want to do that ?

That was the video I referred to in my original post. It shows how to disassemble the board, but I'm not clear on how the camera is disconnected from the board once it's out?

If you flip the board over so the long piece going down is on your left.
next to the black square the connects to the lens on the left side is a cable connect.
Gently lift of the cable connect by prying it up and away from the pins on the side of the black square, thenyou can lift out the camera module.

And to reinstall, I simply do the reverse?? Is the camera module affixed by something (e.g. double-sided tape), or is it free once I release the cable conect?

Hello speedman and OP.
Speedman, can you please elaborate on your answer.
I am refering to this part of your answer ".... it have a total deference between screen at least hardware one .... ".
The reason I am asking is that I had epiphany two days ago that didn't end well, but the journey was rewarding.
I was thinking, ok Kindle 3 (keyboard) has a better screen that nook ST (contrast). I really like my rooted nook. Both things are made in China, by same manufacturer.
I will make an uber device and fit a kindle 3 screen on nook. (I am not a technical person, but i do love my rooted nook, may he rest in peace).
I was really close, and was able to connect kindle screen to nook simple touch battery and motherboard. And it worked, it showed nook screen on my half opened kindle keyboard. Unfortunately, I got overzealous in attempt of removing screen from nook simple touch (bloody silicone), and screen broke. At this point all my confidence was gone. I reassembled kindle 3 fast, so at least i have one device safe.
So, my question is, if i actually try to do this again (30 gbp for nook st these days), will i have touch capabilities, that is: where is the bloody infrared, on the eink screen? haven't seen anything special there....
I was so happy when I sow OP question.....and than cold shower......
The infrared touch module is attached to the bezel of the Nook, has no connection to the e-ink screen. I think that the panels are identical as far as specs, not sure about the connections though. Any difference in contrast has to do with the software, not the panel itself.
OB

dont do it - I have also ordered ED060SCE and the seller send me ED060SC7 - I put it in the device and it didn't work. I ordered later a second one and I figured out that my mainboard wasn't working after instering the kindle lcd - I ordered a second nook with broken lcd and in this unit the new lcd worked like charm

You mean you have a broken NST motherboard?
Could you do me a favor? I need good pictures of its both sides, but with the hardware button springs removed (these are the four white long shapes on the edges of the board, each with two dark dots - visible here: http://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/ffHPkaSDPfAGTYQD.large).
I would like to make a cable extension for the hardware buttons (connected via a DIY magnetic plug), so I need to trace parts of the board. I am a little reluctant to remove the springs on my working Nook and some of the paths are under them. TIA

look on the other side - under every button is a exposed point of copper - I think the the switch when pressed connects it to GND

You probably mean the via - yes there is one or two under each button. I might try to use them as soldering point, but a better way would be to find a path to one of measuring fields (the larger round fields on the board).

Thanks! On the photo it looks like the outer ring is indeed connected to the GND paths at the edge of the PCB (if they are GND, which I will check). Can you confirm it?

as I look close then I see they aren't connected to GND - I put two more photos with all switches removed - hope this helps you

Thank you, that helps a lot - while they might not be connected to GND, they seem to be organized in a simple 2x2 matrix - I can see a path connecting two outer rings in the upper part of the PCB - that would mean I can extend these 2 buttons easily with a 3-pin connector. That would be enough.
I will let you know if it works out.

Here is the result. Thanks for your help. And thanks to Renate for confirmation of the pinouts.
I think maybe put a screen Kindle 3 in Nook. Datasheet are almost identical. Waveform is in firmware 1.2.1 for display...
I can confirm the e-ink screen for Kindle Keyboard can be put into Nook Simple Touch, working beautifully. Just be careful when taking NST apart, because the e-ink screen is VERY tightly glued to the back panel, using some kind of strong double sided tape. I ended up cracking it...
quick question. I haven't been able to find the answer to this, is their an option or a mod to completely disable and remove the second screen?
a way that would allow that portion to just be a part of the actual screen. Thanks in advance!
You can disable it, entirely, within the settings menu. Unless there is a root/xposed solution, you cannot use it to extend the primary display area.

I don't see the 2nd Screen as being a part of the same digital screen as the main screen, so although you can disable the 2nd Screen, I doubt it could ever be a part of the main screen.
Screens are separate. Different resolutions ect. Plus the front cameras takeout 1\4 of the space so stuff would look funny.
It's one giant screen, there isn't v really a "2nd screen."

haha yeah, but at least recovery works, so it's basically a cosmetic issue. of course i'm on the official 6.0 update, so I can't even boot recovery right now
