Ok I see on the video a light ring that circle the circle window when you use it. Does that light circle work on all cases or just the official
It works perfect on the official. The cheap ones are of by a few mm. Some reported either right side or left side is only visible.

found some issues:
-camera pink spot issue
-viewing angles issue (see green tinted when move up & down or left & right)
-bluetooth don't work on skype
but so far i still love this phone
thanks. when i get mine, i'll be sure to check for these issues.
I recommend you return it if you're having those problems.. I'm having none of these things..
(Haven't tried bluetooth on Skype, though.)
out of curiosity, when you get the pink spot on your pics, what are you taking a picture of? Two people had this problem but it seemed that it was because they were taking a picture of a computer screen up close.
can you press the (display on/off) button+HOME button and take a screen of these funky screens?
Have you removed all the protective film from your phone?
Just out of curiosity.

Just tried this, I get green tint when viewing at anything more than about 30 degrees off-axis.

I dont see any of these problems.
But the red spot could be the cameras IR sensor if it has one? Low light situations against a bright object... That what it seems most people are trying to take pictures of to show this issue.
I have the Cnet mobile review app on my iPod and the third picture down it really looks like there is a notification led! Probaly just light effects when they took the pic but I just found I should share this.

Does it light up? The common confusion is the proximity sensor (or front facing camera) looks very much like a LED at the top except it doesn't give out light

Should qualify that with "visible light" since technically the proximity sensor does emit IR light. Of course, even then visible is more a technical term than a literal one since some people can see the IR light emitted, too.
It really looks like it's lit up.
There is no notification LED.

NoLED to the rescue!
Sadly, there is not LED. HOWEVER, there is a very need app in the store called NoLED. What it essentially does is display dots (or icons) on the screen. And since in our case the note has AMOLED displays it will not consume energy for the black background. I used this app on my SGS2 and loved it. It's a bit buggy at times though!!
hope this helps
My pen is so far off I can hardly use it. I tried the LCD calibration pen test, but even that's hard to complete because I have to draw beside the boxes, and I am unable to draw near the bottom of the screen at all ..
Did you change your LCD density? Maybe the unit went bad on you. Go to the ATT store and have them look at it.
Idk if this helps but one thing that helped me was when i read that the Spen is setup to work best at a 45 degree angle. I used to use it more at a 90 and the calibration was way off.

Try *#0*# && s pen test that's the best i got! Lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
I haven't done anything with the density .. and I've done the pen test several times. If anything, it makes it worse. I can hardly complete the pen test because my pen barely touches the boxes before it physically goes off the bottom of the screen.
it's off by about half a centimeter.. don't really notice until I'm trying to sketch in Sketchbook, which is basically impossible. Maybe I should try a wacom pen and see if that's any better
I just used a straight edge to draw down the very center of the boxes in the pen test.. this is what I got. (and I've tried drawing to the edges several times to auto calibrate it, doesn't seem to help)

I am going to Home depot today and get some aluminum Tape and try this.
Possible Fix Video for S-Pen
That tape is pricy. Hope you can find a small roll. I wonder how the guy in the vid figured that out. Amazing. Hope it works for you.

I think you're missing my point. If I draw in the center of the boxes, the line appears outside the boxes, and they do not turn green. I can draw to the side of the boxes where the line appears in the boxes and they turn green, but this does nothing to help my issue. There is still about a half centimeter difference between where I place the tip of the pen on the screen and where the line appears.
I would like the line on the screen appear directly underneath the tip of the pen, not off to the side.
Also, from that video I don't see anything about the tape addressing my issue. As far as I can tell it just reduces the sensitivity and prevents the pen from working at extreme angles. My issue is with the calibration of the pen..

It cost me $7 for a roll at HD. I'll let you know after I finish the honey do list for today.
Do you plan on placing your device face down on its beautiful glass ??
D.
In case you have kept it face down in a meeting on silent ... so just a led helps
I guess they were thinking on same lines, however, I really wanted a bigger led on front !
Is it just me, or does anyone else find the rear led impossible to see unless you're directly over it?
Shows up iPhone users who don't even have a single LED on the front. Take that, I have two one on the front AND one on the back. The LED is one of the reasons I got rid of my iPhone 5.
I agree, the front led is a joke. No reason to have the FRONT led smaller then the rear...

hahaha...but i don't really see an use for the LED, but some people find it helpful to notice they got a notification. its like you can check if you have a notificiation without having to turn on screen...

Well ya you know you have a SMS because the light is blinking otherwise I would have to pick the phone up and look at it. On the iPhone thats the only way you know if you have a message. Say I go to the restroom and get a SMS on the iPhone I have to pick it up and look at it on Android the light will be blinking. Its the little things.

Yea, but iPhone has been the best phone experience when it comes to best put together package with smoothness and stuff until the Nexus 4 came to be (of course in my opinion)...I considered getting a iPhone, but decided i'd have more fun with an Android device.
I don't like that LED, but the otterbox case I got covers it up nicely. Makes it easier to grip too!
The rear led is a good idea but poorly executed IMO. Could have been made more noticable.
Sent from my SuperCharged DNA
All they would have to do is incorporate a lens in a case that would magnify the front and back led.. figure with all the cases someone would have , should have done it by now.. I've experimented with it and its possible
I completely forgot it was there.... My case blocks it so I see no use

I find it to be quite helpful. Its not like your going to drag your phone on the front and most people will likely have screen protectors and a case.
To be notified that notifications need to notify you of texts and mail... as you admire the beautiful back of your awesome phone. :laugh:
But really though, the back LED's probably for people who either use a belt clip or place the phone face down during meetings and such.

It's small but I find it more than bright enough. Especially when I'm playing games or watching a video and I get a message that I don't want to get out of to clear, the blinking is annoying already. Would hate for it to be worse.
I like the fact of the back led because I always keep my phone screen down so people can't look at the phone if the screen was on. But my otterbox covers it up so I'm debating drilling a hole where it is.

After the latest OTA push here in USA on AT&T network, I noticed pen and pencils weren't registering well on my screen.
So I purchased a bluetooth Spen from samsung (seen here ------>) http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/15/s...-pen-hands-on/
Removed the tip, cut a 3.5mm headphone male cable with attached metal male part. hacked and cut up the ends of a plastic pen to fit the headphone male metal through. Fit it into the Spen, and now I have pen that can take bluetooth calls.
I recommend watching the ENTIRE video before posting your questions though.
Enjoy.
That's pretty cool, Inspector Gadget!
