Are there are mods that allow you to control the camera with the screen off? Kinda miss this from my JB iphone
Ugh this would be fantastic to a certain extent. Helps save battery life when recording long videos

LOL, how right your are!
This indeed would be awsome, but as far as I'm aware, there isn't, no..
There are only two reasons someone would need this......well in reality just one. All other reasons are BS.

Thanks for the effort but that app isn't that good
Its too bad android doesn't have the modularity that jail broken iOS does

now what would be cool is the ability to switch from the back camera to the front camera mid video...!!

So today I had to call 911 because I was watching a crime happen. And I tried to take video or pictures of the crime since I have full HD and thought it would help police but to my surprise you can't do that while you are making a call.
I am just kinda shocked that the "the best superphone on the market could not take a picture and make a call at the same time"

I never thought I would need to make a phone call and use video at the same time before. What was the crime? Just curious. Btw witnesses have put criminals behind bars way before cell phones were even invented.
This has surprised and frustrated me, too. Also, I occasionally have taken a picture while playing music, and it mutes the music, even if you have disabled the shutter sound. There is definitely room for improvement here...

yeah, known issue since day one on this phone. But 3rd party camera apps work perfect while in-call.. sucks though..

The only major "FLAW" that I really see with this phone is the lines and blobs problem.

And how is this a major flaw??????? Dude...get off your phone and take some pictures....yes it might be a inconvenience to you, but this is my no means a flaw, just something that Google didn't think about or think it was necessarily.
I never thought to try taking a picture while calling.
F_uck xda. Mods s_uck as_s here. You guys have ran off some of the best developers for our phones because of your arrogance. S_uck my dic_k lame as_s ****_s.

if you use 3rd party camera Apps it works
this is a known issue and has been asked / reported before

The phone can do it however Samsung turned the feature off in the factory software.
Use 3rd party app for now until they adjust it.

Well, I guess if they really wanted you to stay on that makes sense. I think someone posted earlier that Maui Camera works on a call.

Wow chill, hes simply expressing that there's much power under the hood and the phone can't even do that on stock software. You would think it could since they are basic functions of a phone...
Is the camera shutter speed really the bees knees? I've seen YouTube videos and it looks fast. I have a two year old and they move fast. I need to know if it really snaps fast pics. Zero lag?

If it doesn't have to autofocus or use flash then its instantaneous.

Yes. The thing that takes the most time is the autfocus. If you turn that off you really can click it as fast as the touchscreen will let you.

My point is it seems as fast as any other smartphone camera on the market? Same as s3 or the One series from HTC?

It's still pretty fast in my case
S3 & One X both have instantaneous camera speeds like the GNex.

cool forum... love my droid Galaxy S3 and my Galaxy tablet.
I was googling this photo attachment product i saw on gizmag.com called Mobi-Lens and i found a couple of posts on this site about it so i thought id share it.
Us Android users dont get much gadgets/photo-accessories... this seems legit, even if you own an different manufacturer then Samsung, im sure it will work.
I got a red combo $60, beats my friends $80 olliclip for his iPhone... PLUS he has to remove his case every time AND only use the back side camera... SUCKER haha.
Now i dont have to lug around my DSLR when i go hiking or biking for some nice scenic photos.
just search mobi-lens on kickstarter.com or google it.
Welcome! Ya this is one of the best if not the best forum for all things mobile specially Androids!
I checked the item you speak off before and its cool however ill wait till it goes onto production as it is still under kickstarter phase.
Nevertheless our S3s have some amazing camera options, just wish it had SlowMotion video i myself had a One S after my S2 before I had my S3 and that was the only reason I miss the one s lol

I need a phone for my wife, camera speed is very important for her.
The only online video review i could find are based on the 2.3 (i think) OS and it seems that the sutter speed and the speed between shots are not so great. Did the things has changed with ICS?
Nothing has changed at all. U can use apps as camera replacement but if camera is important then I gotta be honest other phones are much better. Best thing would be go to store and use the phone.

Thanks for the answer. It sounds like a real sin, as i know that this model is really fast in everything else...
Can't have it all unfortunately.
On the plus side though, a DSLR is pretty fast

I have the galaxy nexus and it would be ideal: fast and with a fast camera.
Problem is I can't afford another one so i'll have to choose between two phones from koodo canada: galaxy s2x or htc one v.
Htc one v seems to have good fast camera but i'm concerne it's going to be laggy.

Absutely, it's a good camera for what i found out. But for her speed is more important then quality, as all the cameras are pretty good nowadays if you only need "facebook pictures". She's always complaining that she constantly miss "the moment" because her current camera on her phone is too slow.

Try out the fast burst camera app. There is a free version you can get and see if you like it. I ended up buying the paid version because I liked it so much. I take pics of my son swinging at the batting cage and it works great.

Thanks for all your opinions... think i'll go for the S2x, much better phone. I'll try that app, the name sounds interesting... exactly what I was looking for... you know, if you want an happy life you need an happy wife!!
The key reason why I'm interested in getting this phone is the potentially amazing camera. So I'm wondering if the Pixel's native camera app supports RAW capture? If it can't then that might be a deal breaker. If anyone knows anything about this please help, thanks!
That is something I've been trying to figure out as well. I think I'll miss Samsung's Pro mode and I guess I'll find out about the camera Friday
Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk
Yeah it'll be a deal breaker for me if it can't shoot RAW and manually adjust ISO / shutter speed.
If it turns out it's supported I'll go ahead and get the Pixel XL, if not then I'll just wait for the Galaxy S8.

I know of that app and hate it (very buggy), I want RAW support from the native camera. If it doesn't support it natively like the Galaxy S7's camera app then I'll be skipping the Pixel.
Google is touting how awesome the camera on the Pixel is, but what's the point if the native camera app can't even do something as basic as RAW capture LOL.
Oh come on, I realize you want RAW, but many (I would venture to say most) people could care less about RAW support.
I hope it has it too, but I won't call it a failure if it doesn't.

I think if you're going to pass on a phone for that reason you didn't want a phone you wanted a camera. You can get the same thing using the app. You're just being obstinate. Good luck.
