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...

And so have witnesses that weren't there

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.

That's a great idea. Thank you for your response. Totally worked. One more question, though.
It seems to get installed when you get a weird phone call. I already blocked unknown calls and a few likely suspects. Is there something more I can do. Like make it so only his contacts can call him?

where on phone did you see it? using root explorer or something? always thought was untraceable once installed..would be nice to know to look

Well best thing you can use is root call blocker, it works best but its paid app. Has that feature to just have calls from contacts. Also has reject too that works better than the built-in one..

might wanna tell "buddy" that if he got cases big enough for cops to tap his phones he might wanna switch to something other than his personal cell to conduct business or if it might just be wifey keeping tabs to make sure he aint banging the next new thing then he might wanna do the same because she can always order an in depth statement on calls and texts.... just saying

What? What's this about an app (or something) being installed from just receiving a phone call?
I'm no where near an expert or a dev but I never heard of anything like this. Unless the phone was already infected PRIOR receiving the 'weird' phone call.
Edit: OK.. I just Googled it, and sure enough it MUST be installed first. There are 2 versions, 1 - the LITE version can be installed on any android phone, but doest intercept live calls (and other things). 2 - the OMNI version requires a rooted phone, and you can intercept live phone calls and listen in.

App like tablet talk?

I want an app I can use to text off of my nexus 7 that uses the Bluetooth feature. I don't have WiFi so I can't use an app that uses a WiFi network sync and I don't wanna buy tablet talk. Any other apps like that?

Agreed, I bought it the moment I tried it out and never looked back. Totally worth it.

Go buy a visa gift card or open a PayPal through your bank account. You're 17 so get out of the habit of excuses quickly.

Actually their anti piracy replies were quite on point. How would you feel if you were the developer of the app and everybody just stole it from you instead of paying for your hard work? Bottom line piracy is WRONG.

Back on topic, does anybody know of a free Bluetooth alternative to tablet talk?

the rules aren't the problem....first the suggestion to actually go pirate an app (WTF are you thinking even saying that on xda)
then the arguing about "can't afford to pay" "visa card" etc etc....it applies to everyone at the end of the day not just people arguing the right point...but also the person suggesting that idea out loud over the forum

Peeps want to put their 2 feet in, the OP has the answer now job done, every bodies circumstances are different, mentioning how easy it is to get a gift card, top up credit card or whatever is relevant only to the person that suggests it.
Some countries don't accept payment, some won't allow you to buy, and for the record....I pay my way, but if I never had any money and need something, I'll blatantly take it. Don't have a problem mentioning that, but apps are 2 a penny, if there is a free alternative get one with ads.

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.

Yeah it's against the rules, but thanks for the apk although I'll probably end up buying it if I keep it.
Ome question though, won't using an app like this end up killimg the life of the led flash?

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.

You can set the front LED to not have phone charging as a condition.

[Q] Unknown hole ?

Hello, I'm sporting N5110 version, no LTE or 3g so it doesn't have a phone functionality. But there is something I don't know what is this for? A little hole above power button. Look like a mic hole, if I get one, at the bottom side next to the right speaker. I'm using gel cover for my Note and there are two holes in it: one for mic (if I get one) and other one above power button. I took a look and I found that there is this tiny hole.
What is it for?

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 N5110 and the Galaxy Note 8.0 N5120 are almost identical with the only difference that the N5110 is WIFI only and the N5120 supports 3G, LTE & Cellular Network and IMHO Samsung just used the same template for both devices
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

I know what speaker is, I know what microphone is but what tha hell is speakerphone? What is its purpose?

It doesn't apply to the N5110 "your model"

Well, it seems like it may! Because i have that hole and I don't have a hole for mic on the bottom side. I know whag are you talking abut, that all Note 8's have same chasis, just different features. But it seems like they don't, otherwise I should get prop hole for mic, too, but I haven't.
Anyway, I have it or not, can't you answer my question, which wasn't if I have something or nor but what is speakerphone?

Speakerphone is nothing more then a microphone that allows you to hold the phone a little distance away from your face when in a phone call, this can either be half-duplex "one way" or full-duplex "two way" but since the N5110 is WIFI only this feature is not relevant for the device since it cannot make phone calls, now moving forward.
I do apologize for my ignorance, I took my N5110 out of its case and looked to see if it had a microphone hole located at the bottom and realized that I indeed did not have a microphone there either, so having said that I can only come to the conclusion that the microphone/speakerphone hole on the side located above the power button is the microphone for the N5110 to be used for lets say S-voice, video recordings or Skype.
That is about as good of an explanation I can give
Hoping this was a much better answer
