I've looked around n can't seem to find a way to switch between the two in a flash. I know you can switch cameras by flipping from the top or bottom edge. Just wondering derived g if there's another option than going into menu

Subscribing...one of the annoying things HTC did while, "improving" our experience. Having both camera and video buttons on the same screen is not confusing for me, but the most convenient option.

Is there? Since I don't use video calling can it be used to take pictures?
ok nevermind I found the option.
Bro, please share..........
when you go into the camera app tap the screen to show the options, tap the gear wheel in the bottom right corner and in the menu that pops up tap the icon in the bottom left
Why
Ok, maybe you do not have a mirror at you but... why to take a lo quality pictures?? You can use the rear cam to take 3.2 mp, not vga...
yea but since I don't use the camera for video calling I can at least use it to look at myself
no icon for me in bottom left
so weird but i dont have an icon in the botom left its blank lol, i wonder if its the elite rom im using or something else? anyone have an idea mabey?

I agree . I use it also for that purpose when there is no mirror near. Last time I used it to see the blood all over my face when I hit my head to a traffic signs edge due to a lack of visibility caused by a way too big hood

perhaps you have bigger issues to deal with than tweaking your PDA.
Hello,
Is there a tweak or possibilty or tool to let the camera app record video without the camera app visible onscreen. The app must be visible onscreen or it stops recording :/
Let's say you want to do other things on your phone and record video in the meantime. Now every time I leave the camera application (without closing it) and let's say phone someone then the camera stops recording .
Thx in advance.
Anyone has an idea?
iteresting thing.. i dont found any else app.
Sorry i cant help..
I do have another question I've been meaning to ask tho...
Has any one else noticed this..
When you have camera app open ready to take a picture, if you press the black between buttons on the right hand side it makes a Grey dotted box flash around the picture, noticed it helps with the picture taking time, almost like a "hold button half way to prime a digital camera"
Am I tripping or am I right??
Just not heard of any one else ever mentioning this...
Can't help either

I think you mean the frame showing what is actually being captured on your picture (instead of the whole 'wide' view you have before taking the picture).

Sorry you've confused me..
When I open the camera app, it opens full screen with 3 icons,
Flash, shutter(take picture) and settings..
I presume every one else is the same (exept possibly cooked roms)..
When you press settings tab and all the settings are around the screen pop up..
Press the gap between the shutter button and the settings button(a dotted box will show clearly around the middle flashing for a couple of seconds)
Now take a picture, measure the time it takes from you pressing and the picture capture..
Now do the same as you normally would.. Press the shutter..
Just seems way faster with the flashy box going than without.
Can you tell me why?
friendly bump.
I am wondering what it does as well.
I'm sorry, it took me some time to figure it out.
I think this is described in the manual on page 240.
Particulary at the footnote:
'Note If you tap outside the effective focus area, a white box appears to indicate the area where you can use Touch Focus.'
Is this what you mean?
I have been looking for about an hour and haven't been able to find anything. My only guess is that the snap to a particular home screen feature is just a part of android. It isn't in any launchers that I saw or anything else I looked into. I'd like to be able to smoothly scroll around my home screen without it snapping to a particular one, kind of like Windows 8 seems to do. It would be extremely helpful because I generally hold my tablet the landscape way and my thumbs don't reach the middle... that might sound stupid, but it would be nice. Am I missing something obvious or is this impossible?
give this a try: theme: metro ui

Try Apex launcher. It's like stock but launcher but modified to included more features.
I use my TF 90% in landscape mode and scrolling from screen to screen is smooth
and i use my thumb at the edge of the screen to scroll

Well, I don't so much want the whole Metro UI as much as I'd just like to have my home homescreen as it is, with the widgets and all, but not have it snap to 3 separate screens. I don't believe this theme does that anyway. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I used Apex awhile back and it didn't have that feature I'm looking for and it still doesn't I use my thumb to scroll between the various home screens too, but I still have to reach a little too far for my liking sometimes. Well that's not true I don't mind that much. I just think t would be very convenient to be able to slide the home screen a little bit to make that icon that I couldn't reach come within range of my thumb, instead of only having the option to scroll to a whole new home screen. This would only give me one home screen, but with all my stuff on it. I believe I saw this in the Windows 8 Metro UI. Perhaps they will add this in the future. Also, hello from your neighbor in Katy. Small world.
Nova Launcher got a feature (although Im quite sure the stock got it as well) so you can just tap on the edges and it switches screen.
No need to make the swipe-gesture.
You are right that there are no launcher that can only display parts of the homescreens.
Ok i think i know what you're getting at. You'e talking scrolling the screen but instead of it going to the next screen, you want that one particular screen too be able to scroll maybe half way or whatever to reach a certain icon that sit in the middle of the screen

Yeah. I mean, just think about it like having all your homescreens tied together as one big screen where you can just slide it side to side very little if you want or fling and fly to the other end (flick would scroll straight from 1 through 2 3 4 to 5). You wouldnt have everything on screen at once, but it would give the feeling of it being there better than automatically snapping to a new scrwen. No launchers have this and I'm sure someone has thought of this already so I'm guessing it can't be done yet.
Just installed Synergy JB and have noticed that there is one finger zoom in here where you basically slide up and down on the edge of the screen and it zooms in and out. I see people with the note II have this also so it seems it may be a Touchwiz JB feature but I haven't seen a way to turn it off. It's nice but would love to find a way to toggle it. I already checked display, accessibility, and motion controls with no luck and it zooms in any app that can zoom.
If I remember correctly E actually put the GNOTE 2 camera in that ROM so what you are seeing is that actually camera... As far as I know the only way to change that would be to flash a different camera.... HOWEVER.. I do have the NOTE 2 camera on mine also and can pinch to zoom or use the volume keys so there may be different versions of that also... But anyways flash a different camera and that should do the trick

Well its not just the camera it's in the browser, wikipedia app, and others
I apologize.. I swear the post said in the camera app.... I know he pulled a few .APK's from the Note 2... All I can suggest is check the settings for the individual apps... You could also try and download a different browser and try that... That would help narrow it down if it is something "Overseeing" the ROM or something specific to certain .APK's....
anyone find a fix for this...it's happening in my browser now and it's killing me?

What Scroll Bars?

With all due respect, you may want to look at your screen and take note of the fact there are no scroll bars.
I understand that we are creatures of habit, and as I have been using the GUI, with Scroll Bars since the first Mac (1984) I too tend to use the edge of the screen to scroll, but the truth is, it is a Phone, not a Mac, not a PC. It has no scroll bars. Scroll slightly to the left (or to the right-so to not disenfranchise left handed phone users) or 1/4 of the way across, or 1/3rd, or 1/2 or 3/4 quarters, etc. etc. etc.
Anywhere you'd like. It's a Phone, it's a touch screen. No mouse, no ability to tap in the scroll bar and have the screen advance. No way to position your mouse over the up or down arrow, and have the screen scroll smoothly without any other movement than you holding down the mouse button.
It's a Phone. Get it?
Anyway, what is really infuriating is that Samsung put this feature on the phone, didn't tell anyone, until people started complaining about it and reporting it as a bug, and then rather than either tell people about it, or add the ability through a Setting to disable it, in a new release of the software, the morons simply took it away.
So let me ask you, if your phone came configured with the setting disabled by default, but gave you the option to enable it, try it, see if you liked it, then said, nah, and turned it off, would that have been best for you and guys like me who depend on it all day every day to be able to use my Phone with one hand?
I think the answer is obvious.
Samsung, you are laughable, amateur software developers.
Thankfully we have XDA.
Now I just need one of you on here to figure out where in the heck it is hidden so you can make me a build that includes it with whatever else is in the latest releases.
You see, Android is almost entirely "Hard Coded" so it is not something the average user can just go "teeak" , like following the step by step instructions of someone to simply "Hack" the Windows Registry to make it the way we like it.
All the more reason Samsung is so pitiful.
Couldn't seem to figure out if i could do this on my own so i came here for any advice!
Basically, i was wondering if you could take the one note app that looks a little something like this:
View attachment 2403414
and change it to be something a little more left hand friendly. Perhaps something like this?
View attachment 2403419
It's a minor change but if you're a lefty taking notes on this device, it makes a HUGE difference. Often times, when bringing my hand down to the device to write, my hand will accidentally touch another note page and switch to that note page. It's quite annoying!
Also, i've tried specifying which hand that i write with, setting it to left handed, but it doesnt seem to make any difference at all. Makes me wonder what it ACTUALLY does....

Fellow lefty with surface pro 2 here. I know your problem.
Solution:
Use fullscreen
Hold your stylus closer to the screen when approaching it, so that touch input gets deactivated.

It changes the location where the context menu appears when you right click, so it is not hidden below your (left) hand.
