Is the screen recording feature still present? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've seen this feature on a few of the promo videos but I was just watching a review and someone mentioned that it had been taken out, can anyone clear this up please?
Thanks

Its not working on mine I believe you hold the up volume rocker and home key to activate it? And.... nothing happens. Multiwindows wasnt included out of the box but an update has already added that so hopefully screen recorder will be added aswell soon.

According to Samsung (Thailand), it will not be available due to copyright issue... .. ..

Screenshots!!!
I'm super super super excited!!!
I have known for over a year that all Samsung Android phones (with touchwiz) have a built in screenshot engine. The problem is that nobody has been able to figure out how to use it. I've even triggered it accidentally a few times on my Vibrant. There is no documentation on this feature but I finally stumbled across the answer while playing with my new Galaxy S II.
HOME+POWER
Please try this on some other Sammy phones and report back. I would love to find out if it works on all of them.
ah yes, it's actually documented in the manual
but as usual no body reads it, not even me
LOL
but it was mentioned already on the release date of the phone, and demoed
there's also another way to capture screen, something about tilting the screen and pressing something, forgot that part
Thank you all for your help.
I found it burried in the app screens.

Rogers no pics during video.....

I just noticed this now because I wanted to use the feature but my Rogers SGS3 can't take pics during video. The buttons not even there. I thought we were supposed to have that feature. Anybody else have that? Fix?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I thought that while recording video all you had to do was touch the screen to take pics?
That just causes it to refocus on that area.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Are you sure? I don't think you can manually focus during video recording. Taping the screen during recording looks like it is refocusing the camera but that is in fact the animation it makes when it is snapping a still during recording. No sound, no sliding to the side animation like when taking photos. Just that slight focusing effect to let you know you it worked.
Check your gallary.
Not working, tried that. Just refocusing the video. You can see a button on the bottom right that says AF to establish AF again. No pictures in the gallery.

I am on rogers and can take pictures during video.
when making a video all you do is press the little camera icon beside the red record button
I noticed that it says nexus so iam guess your not on stock rogers?
I'm with rogers using a custom rom and that feature is there

That is odd. Sorry I was of no help. Not sure what the issue is and unfortunately I'm not on a stock rom so I cant dig thru the cam/settings to be of any help.
Can someone who is on a stock rom that is able to take stills while recording post a screen grab of their cam app to show what its supposed to look like?

If you have anti shake turned on then the option to take pictures while video recording is not there. Simply turn off anti shake

I was about to post the same question but I found your post. I have exactly the same problem and just wondering if you found a way to fix that?
There is no way to link up since ICS. It was like this in Note I too. So Note 2 is the same is normal.
Now I am using Audio Manager Pro and set 3 shortcuts widgets - silent mode, very loud mode and low volume mode. Its linking both Ringtone and notificatuon when I set as profile widget only. Hope it helps.

Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I've got the same problem & i just noticed before that sony‘s devices had that choice to make them link or unlock although they were not ics device.
But i still believe there is a way to solve it...
Im wondering if its jelly bean related. As my Mrs s3 could do it. Then she did an OTA to JB and it stopped working.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Bump for answer.
This isn't a JB issue though, my Gnex linked ringer and notification volumes up to 4.2. So I don't know why Samsung would disable this feature in TouchWiz.
Anyone figure this out yet? I installed the NOTEorious rom hoping it would have them linked but it didn't either. I had installed at least 4 roms on my old Epic and every one of them had this link option. Seems weird they would still not provide it. Also, I want the volume keys to change tracks when the screen is locked which even blackberry's had and yet Samsung still can't put it on the phone. All my old Epic roms had that functionality too.
I might try Jedi X rom, any one know if it add these functions?
FINALLY
This app solves the problem! Credits to the developer, can't thank him enough bcos it was such a pain to find something that works for this simple problem...

UPDATE : after 2 days of use, i can confirm that it's perfectly working as intended on my Stock unrooted Galaxy Note II. I highly recommend it if u have been struggling to find something for volume linking.

Screen Goes Dark During Call

Has anyone ran into issue where you make a call screen goes dark like it's supposed to however if you want to end call screen won't come back on until call ends on the other side. So if person doesn't answer I have to wait till voice mail picks up and hangs up on me after it times out.

Got a screen protect covering the proximity sensor? Yours might be too sensitive. I had the same problem with my n4. Solution was no protector or wait till dearth or whatever brand you use to not cover the sensor. That was the first and only phone I ever had that issue though.

Enter *#0*# in the keypad to open the "test menu".
Press the Sensor tile and test your proximity sensor's function bij moving a finger over it.
If it does not change value from 0 to 1 and make the screen go green, your proximity sensor is likely to be broken.
Replacing the front camera (which houses the proximity senor) will then fix your problem.

I went into store today to speak to a tech that used to work with when I was a sales rep @ sprint. He told he has seen issue a couple of times. He says when that happens its a sensor issue. More common with fones that where 1st shipped out. He could of replaced it if I wanted but he wanted to avoid giving me a refurb. He did a couple of tests and it's been working since. He suggested if it happens again to bring it back again.

(Request) Enable Call Recording (SecPhone.apk)

It has been done for the Galaxy III and the International version of the S4 (I9500 and I9505) Here is the link with the code --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268146
After several pm with grgsiocl, He has added in the necessary code to enable it on the T-Mobile SGS4 but all it does is freeze the phone when you enable the record function.
Here is the link to the modified SecPhone.apk. --> http://www.mediafire.com/?w5l8ov5uzw8bb5d
Hopefully someone could get it to work.

It will record both sides of the conversation if you use the speaker phone.
Most all other call recorders even those at the playstore which are paid apps work,
but they work same way using the speaker phone when you want to record a call.....

Ok, so call recording takes up the same button as call swap. you will lose that feature if I do this app correctly, as far as I can tell.
