Note 2 scrolling - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone. I notice on the note 2 you cant really drag a scroll bar in the gallery or anything. Is there a way I can? 2500 photos takes awhile to get to bottom. Im on vacation and using my phone as the camera. Any quicker way to scroll in photos?

Download a new gallery app. QuickPic would be one of the better, if not the best, alternatives out there.
It has a thumbscroll at the right of the screen. If you sort picture by date, it even displays the date the pictures are taken as you thumbscroll.

[Q] Inverted FFC pictures?

I was testing out the FFC on my Telus Galaxy S II and when I take a picture with it, I see the animation and the picture go to the bottom left corner, and then the little preview of the picture becomes flipped. When I tap on the picture to view in the Gallery, the picture itself is mirrored.
Is anybody noticing this? Is there a setting to flip it back?
Thanks!
Lol. I noticed this also. It actually "corrects" the pick. I took a pic and the saved preview pick flipped. But I noticed I had writing in the background. It is fine in the flipped pic but in the main display it's backwards this the flip.

Not exactly sure how to fix this, if it's even possible to fix it. Haha.
I've noticed that every pic I take while holding the phone in portrait mode is sideways. I think Samsung intended for people to hold the phone sideways to take pics, which I find dumb.
That's really odd.. I wonder if there is some sort of photo software for the phone that can be used to flip them back?
You can rotate photos with the built in gallery app, if that's what you mean...

I know you can rotate them in the stock Gallery app, but I wonder if you can flip them on a horizontal axis, if you know what I mean. That way, an "inverted" photo could be flipped right side up.
It works ok, when it flips it corrects it, when using the front camera its like looking in the mirror, like your right hand looks like its ur left hand, but once you take the pic it flips it and fixes it

Pictures are rotated when captured in messaging

Hey guys so whenever I capture a new picture from the stock messaging app and put it in the text box it always rotates, is there a fix for that? I want it to show the way it looks on the camera.

I had this problem as well. In my case it was because the camera was rotating automatically when i was taking the picture and didn't notice. unfortunately the auto rotate lock doesn't fix this so you just have to manually rotate it.
Yeah I have that problem too. I read on a forum that it has to do with the way Samsung handles their MetaData. So there isn't really anything we can do to fix it.

What is up with 4.2.1 camera?!

This is simply a joke, what is up with the camera app?? It is literally slower then my old nokia brick!
It takes 4(!) seconds for the camera to open when sliding to it from the lockscreen or opening via the icon, and it takes 2 damn seconds to rotate from horizontal to portrait and vice versa, that is insane and I cannot believe Google hadn't fixed this yet. Are you guys furious about it as I am?
P.s I wanna stay stock, and I don't think I'm asking too much..
Edit: one more thing: if my camera is set to auto flash and I will snap a picture without first tapping to focus about 60% of the time I will get a blue tinted photo. If I tap to focus first the photo will come out normal, I think they've made it that way so we'll get faster capturing but what they did was basically making the camera take a picture before it identifies the correct white balance, giving a blueish resault. Basically the whole camera app is broken in my opinion.
I wish they would fix it, its really slow, I don't use it often.

You have been very slight. It takes at least 4 seconds.
The new camera sucks, not only is it super slow but it takes forever to focus if it focuses at all before taking a picture. And when the shot is taken you dont see the result on the display as in the old camera and one has to go into gallery first to see how the photo turned out.
And this stupid new menu.... It may look fancy but half the time the control is out of the display or covered by the finger. Worst menu ever and should have been done properly or not at all.
In short i hate the new camera.

R: What is up with 4.2.1 camera?!
I really like the new UI but the app it's really bad optimized, it really sucks. It's been a while now since the release of 4.2 and still there's no fix. I, personally, excepted more from Google.
I don't even like the new interface. The pop up menus suck, some of the options are always hidden behind my finger.
Hmm did Google ever revert something like this in the past or do you think they will stick with this crap no matter what?

I actually trusted Google to sort these kind of things pretty quickly as the community is very aware of minor glitches and such, but this camera app is above all glitches, and they're doing nothing..
I also miss the HDR mode in the app. The only reason why I don't change to a different camera app is the integration with the OS.
I have to say I only have one problem with the camera app and that's the ~1 sec freeze when changing orientation.
It does open a tad slow from the lock screen (~3 sec for me) but I think it's bearable. Opening from the icon seems to be about a second. Focus hasn't been an issue for me yet. The new menu can be operated by taps if you don't like having your finger in the way - or - you can just tap and hold to open the menu then slide your finger out past the icons and operate it with your finger out of the way. Finally, not having the little picture preview for the last is a bit annoying but it is far out-shined by being able to swipe to the right and see a large version of that picture (plus previous pictures) while still keeping the camera active and not having to open the gallery app.
Just sharing my opinion - I prefer this version over the previous app.
EDIT: For what it's worth I'm on Purity v4.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108705)
I'm in total agreement! The UI is fine but the length of time it takes to change orientation and even snap a picture is ridiculous.

Hmm... there is a delay when you try and take a picture? I don't see that on mine unless it is still focusing or using the flash, of course.
I was taking a picture yesterday and my phone freez and restart

i tried that tap operation for the menu, but the only way to get the menu open and staying open is to keep the finger on the screen.
is that maybe a rom option?

Tap the circle in the bottom right corner then tap to choose options only works with a finger on the screen? I don't know if my camera apk was modified to do this... it's just the one that came on Purity ROM.
Cant we just pull the 4.1.2 camera and gallery app ?
Or is it that 4.2.1 camera is hardcoded in Android due to photophere?

No, that does work on stock. Thanks, I never payed any attention to the circle in the corner. That does make the camera a little more usable.
Just tossing out there toroplus 4.2.1 ....my camera is great, perfectly fine, the rotation delay isnt a delay at all, its exactly the same delay is if i were on homescreen and rotating. Strange that such problems are noted ...

Sounds like maybe you are a new Android user. It's true, the rotation delay is the same as the delay seen when rotation other apps. This would not seem to be a problem to a new user, but if you were used to the old camera app where there was no delay at all when rotating then it clearly sucks.

[Q] Where did the Camera App with the thumbnail go?

The generic default camera app my nexus came with, use to show a thumbnail of the last picture you took. It would just sit in the bottom right of the screen.
It was super handy, cause I could tell if I did indeed just take a picture of what I was trying to take a picture of.. ANNNNND if i clicked the thumbnail it would open up the photogallery.. tres handy.
Does anyone know where I could get that app? or if there is a better camera app that has the same sort of functionality? I think the Galaxy SIII defauly camera app does this.
In the camera app swipe the right edge of the screen left and it will show your gallery.

photo cropping

anybody know a way around cropping photos for screen savers,ive got a photo that just cant be cropped so was looking for an app that might show full photo

Maybe put the photo on a larger colored background? It crops the photo for both directions of the screen. If your original will fit inside both directions you can keep it whole. Only deal here is that you will see a colored background on the sides or top depending on the size and shape of the original. black or deep red might not be bad.
