stock camera not working while in a call

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..

This, although I wouldn't classify this as a "major" flaw.

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

No surprises; I realize that thing same day i bought this phone . Use camera zoom fx instead of regular camera . We can take pics while talking. I dont think there is video though.

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.

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.

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...

Screen record / multi window / screen record rant

All missing. Really? I will donate to whoever fixes that lameness.
/Rant over
edit....sigh...typo
second screen record was supposed to be Google wallet

But....you already donated to Samsung...
All kidding aside, shoehorning this into the OS that I don't believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) has been officially released (kernel and all) yet will be an ugly endeavor.
I applaud the ROM cooks for their hard work, and agree. I've done my share of donations to the Evo3D gurus, and will continue to for the future the Note2 wizards. I really doubt we'll see these features, at least seamlessly as we'd like, prior to Samsung releasing them.
While I can honestly say I'm disappointed for the same reasons, along with the fact that inductive charging on the Sprint models has been made almost impossible. (I've recently learned you may be able to physically mod the phone)
I also must admit, over all, this is the single best smart phone I've had, the only other phone I've been this excited about was the Palm Pre when it was first released (zomg true [email protected]#)
So, /rant signed, added to, and amended with a pat on the back to Samsung for delivering an awesome phone on it's own standing even with flaws. :good:

Palm pre. I'm a die hard palm lover.
I was on treocentral and pre central most of my days.
Love the palm. Wish it. Had better hardware

Screen record will probably need to be a hack as some rumors are going around about a patent in the US vs. Europe.
Why Multi-App view is not working is unknown.
Google Wallet is dependent on Sprint allowing it, from what I hear.
Inductive charging has something to do with the outside case contacts with the internal battery contacts. the hardware my be causing this limitation although there is a rumor of a hardware hack for this going around as well.

You could just send it to me! Haha, some people use it as a VOIP phone in there house. I think an app like GrooveIP will give you that option.

Personally I like having a second phone to quickly and easily show off something cool on the new phone via video. I had a d2g that had a bad esn (I thought I could use it in Europe, but was locked out there too) and I used it a lot for that.
Also I use it when going abroad, as it will work in Europe and the states.
Also, I love using my old phones as alarm clocks. You'd be amazed how many days an old BB Curve will last with all the radios turned off. I'm guessing a Dinc2 would be good that way too.

Two questions. Could it be a GPS without a data connection?
Also, does anyone know of an app that makes your phone networked attached storage and / or plug it into a hard drive and act as an interface for NAS?

I know GPS will work without data, but if you need to pull up directions for navigation, you need to be on WiFi to download the coordinates. After that if you don't make it re-route it will work. As for the 2nd question.....idk

really on all these ideas. I still have my Eris (though the trackball still scrolls left) as an emergency backup, mp3/Pandora player for in-house and garage (anywhere WiFi reaches), and white noise machine for sleeping baby.
Sometimes wish it didn't have that trackball issue so I could use it more efficiantly, so a fully operational DInc2 laying around would be an awesome thing to have.
What did you end up getting?

Thanks for the advice. I also like the idea of an experimental unit, now that I do not rely on the device daily, I can check out the jellybean rom and try out google now

I remember I used to get the eris trackball to start working by putting a piece of clean white paper on a table and rolling the trackball over it in a rolling motion. Always did the trick

Yea, I used up all the paper in the house. It only lasts for a short while now, but it does work for a little (usually). I even replaced the trackball with a blackberry one. I was thinking about trying just caking the area around the trackball/circuit board with JB weld to prevent flex which I think is causing the intermittent contact issue caused by the location of the charging port in relation to the trackball.
Ah well, either way it is extra and it wont be the end of the workl if I destroy it!
Yay for extras!

htc/Verizon asks that you place your inc2 on end of barrel of a 12 gauge, insert 3in slug, make it rain incredible flakes. now your inc2 has been officially updated by Verizon

Like someone else mentioned, the phone could be used as a VOIP home phone. All it requires is a Google Voice account and an app called GrooveIP (there's a free version, but the $5 full-featured version is definitely worth the money in my opinion). I also take it with me when I travel, since most airports and lots of hotels offer free WiFi, which allows me to make as many phone calls as I like without running up my minutes. I've been using my Inc2 for this purpose for awhile now, and it's very nice to have. I keep the phone in a dock and also use it for streaming music when I'm home as well as for my alarm clock. Just because the phone isn't activated on a wireless plan shouldn't mean that it can't serve a purpose.
Only other piece of advice; I would steer clear of ICS/JB based Roms if using it as a VOIP phone. I had nothing but trouble with the audio settings on GrooveIP. But the stock Rom, or any GB-based Rom should work fine. I use MROM (which is CM7 based) and it works exactly as expected.

Is there a way to make the rear led flash when phone calls?

guys this is an iphone feature and before you go haters its really cool. I usually have my phone volume down and lay it on its screen. so i miss a lot of calls. My cousin's iphone flash everytime he have a notification or a phone call and it looks really cool. I know this will probably drain your battery but its someone choice to choose this feature or not

I've searched around cause I do the same with silent and phone facing down... I have yet to find anything.

Look for flash blink in the market. I've been using it for a long time

Yes there is a way to use this feature. The best option is Beacon, it works like an absolute charm on the s3. It is a paid app, however i have attached the apk. Your welcome. Is the sharing of paid apk's frowned upon? I hope not lol. Anyways good luck, post update to let me know how it worked out.
Mod Edit: Took out Paid Beacon.apk as that is Warez and not allowed.

I'm sure this is not allowed. Doesn't this fall under warez.

Why not just turn the phone over and use the built-in LED notification on the front ? You can even configure different colours for different things.

I mentioned it 24 hours ago haha, I like it for night time, I put my phone on silent and usually have it flipped over cause the charging LED is bright in my room rather have a few Flashes for a couple seconds rather then unlimited flashes through out the whole night.

I agree power locks alone aren't enough if there simply isn't a way to REMOTELY use them.. My 94 civic doesn't have a remote but then again. I (nearly) never leave anything of value in it anyway for this reason. Even without remote, a hammer can do the job. I don't want to tempt anyone to begin with.
