What exactly is macro mode?

It tells the camera to optimize focus for close objects.

When that happens to me it's because I'm trying to send a big picture. Try turning the resolution down.

I thought this was fairly typical for Samsung phones
If you want em sent as pix just use a third party messenger such as hand cent.they will go thru only as pix
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
yes...handcent is what i use..and gives the option to send pics in mms format if to large..and works flawless for me...plus the themes and fonts are killer on it......

Taking pic with instagram issue!

*It is crashing on me almost every time I snap a picture. The second I snap a pic, it does its loading screen, freezes, and then exits out of the app, and brings up the notification that it crashed and I can submit info. I have since deleted and reinstalled a few times, and keep getting the same result. Was wondering if anyone else using instagram is having this issue, or if it is a problem with the phone. Thanks

It works for me also but I just can't take pic with instagram. I take pic with the stuck camera app and then modify in instagram.

I just took a pic in landscape mode and it worked fine but when I changed to portrait mode I got force close error !!!

Guys I checked again and noticed it works fine when the flash is off, once you turn on the flash to take a pic in instagram it force quits. It's really frustrating. Please let me whoever is having the same problem. Tnx

Dirt in the home button (white version)

I had dirt in the device since day 1, but now it's just getting really annoying seeing it. It's a little black spot on the top inside of my home button. I tried scratching it out but I couldn't, any advice on how to take it out?
