Use camera while screen is off?

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...!!

[Q] is camera fast enough?

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!!

I am lovin the slow motion feature. - Videos -

I heard it does up to 250fps lol! Try it out guys.
Rmember, you can do 1/2 1/4 1/8 speed. This phone keeps getting better and better.

Very cool, going to have to try it in good light tomorrow. Did it indoors and it was quite grainy.

Whoa. Very cool Hadn't checked it out before. And love being able to pop out videos as a window.

Wait till you guys see multi window..... I can't believe Samsung and T-mobile did us like this.... I get to play with my N7100 but my main line is on this phone so I am waiting patiently for the update.....

how cute! I was surprised at it's performance. I recorded my ceiling fan, which is fast enough so it looks like a blur to me, but at 1/8th speed I can see idividual fans turning.. slow. So neat.

Just want to confirm that there's no audio when recording slow motion, correct?

Pathetic photo quality with flash ON

Hi,
I have recently got Note 2. Though everything is working fine, photos with flash mode are coming terrible. Light is spread out in the photo and is not at all the one you want to keep. I used to have HTC sensation and never had issues with flash photos. Am I missing something in the camera configuration? I am using all default settings and the phone is using stock ROM.

You're not missing anything. The flash is indeed crap. I've said it many times before.

Mine is average at best, but not pathetic. Same as the SGS1/2/3. I can live with it.

Not the best, but for the most part flash works ok...I am not a fan of 'flash photography' anyway.

I can't complain too.

I think the problem is the same as note 1 that I have. The camera is too near the edge so when using the flash be carefull with your left hand. Even if it doesn't show in the picture it can reflect the flash and flood your photo with light.

@washin21 - I think this could be the problem as I was seeing some shadow. I clicked few shots with keeping figures away and the shots came OK. This is still not the best which I would expect from such a high end device. Normal day shots are nice.

Im with you on this. I had a Sensation XE earlier, and that had a much better camera. Pics were clear, less grainy and the flash was jus brilliant. I tried Camera Zoom Fx, it seems to be better than the stock cam.

Darn Cool Note2 Video Out Video!

I hooked up my note to a computer screen after viewing this, works amazingly well and not difficult to set up.

nice, but I felt a little underwhelmed. I agree there is power in the phone to be PC replacement. I didn't watch the whole vdieo, so I don't know if he discussed the short comings of what can and can't be done compared to the PC. It's not the fault of the phone, but more Android and the way apps are designed.
With that said, we may see these things replace the cheap PC in the future. Bablysteps....babysteps

Yea I saw this video a while back while looking at note 2 vids on youtube and that is what got me to get a bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mouse and turn my note 2 to a little personal pc to do simple things on my flat screen which I enjoy
