Verizon SGT built-in camera has no zoom features. Please confirm. Others camera apps from market zoom freeze the camera application. Any help will be appreciated.

Silly question, but did you try the volume rocker?
I knew about the volume rocker. It doesn't work. I have both Droid 1 & Droid X. It looks like mine is defected. Thanks for your confirmation.

Called Verizon, confirmed the camera zoom feature is not available. Too bad.

It's not just Verizon, it's the entire Tab range that does not have a zoom function for the camera.
There is however a workaround which involves using a third-party camera app named Vignette.
Vignette uses a live action crop tool which is basically the same as the digital zoom you find on any phone camera.
What is so great though about Vignette is it is far, far better in use than the stock camera App on the Tab.
Vignette has so many additional settings and effects for you to use, it's quite unbelievable. Not only that, I did a series of tests between Vignette & the stock camera and found on all accounts Vignette produced much sharper photos with more natural colours. What was also amazing was the crop tool (which is presented as a sliding zoom level) actually produces good results at various levels of zoom.
Go on, give vignette a try, I am sure you will be amazed and quite happy with it. It's become my Camera App of choice now.
Thanks for the info. I will try this out.

Joanna from TIMN says at 1:30 of the video that the multitouch trackpad doesn't support pinch to zoom on it.
Is she lost? Or is that expected behaviour? Because on the NCIX video Linus does pinch to zoom on the trackpad at 8:30 in his video:
It's not 'pinch to zoom'-ing on my trackpad, but then I dont have the US/CN latest firmware. Not sure if it does for them or not yet either. I think it's something they are adding in the future, as the trackpad hardware definitely supports multi touch.
IIRC, one of the earlier firmware versions didn't support certain multitouch features properly. Since been fixed.
My TF dock hasn't supported pinch-to-zoom on any firmware, including the most recent. I don't believe it's intended to do so at this point.

Neither does mine, i wonder what magic trick they pulled in the ncix video
Well we know it supports two-finger scrolling, so why not pinch to zoom?

It might in the future, but as of now, with all the current software updates, it doesn't.
In the trackpad driver in kernel source that Asus posted on their website, there is a function named "HandleTwoFingerZoom", which seems to be trying to do something, but has large chunks commented out. So we may still see this in future updates; or, barring that, it's certain to be added eventually in custom ROMs.
Sorry to bump, but has the 3.1 update enabled pinch to zoom?
I'm still waiting on stock to get my Transformer. =[

Holy cow, how did i miss this? He actually does pinch to zoom on dock. I WANT IT
I've been trying to find a way to contact Linus from NCIX. It's like this guy is off the grid.
I want to ask him how the hell his Transformer has MT on the Trackpad.

Uhh I linked the very video in the OP.
i've just noticed that on my dock trackpad i can pinch to zoom in the quickpic app.. its a little sensative but I thought i'd add this info here.
first i apologize for my bad eng
I've see several video with gs2 vs dual and vs sensation and gs2 is the fastest in rendering of websites (no lag with video playing and heavy flash). I've read that this depend by hw acceleration.
Now all test i've seen are made with stock browser... with opera and dolphin is keep the hw acceleration or is only with stock browser?
Otherwise i can think that with opera/dolph gs2 dual and sensation are very similar during navigation.
I tested opera, stock and xscope in the peacekeeper benchmark, although stock was the fastest the differences were only very minimal, the results in themselves were pretty impressive
Which do you recommend my dearest friend.

Stock browser is way better than any other browser there. You can test by yourself. I have tried, Mozilla, Opera, Dolphin HD, out of them I liked Dolphin HD only, it's a good browser, still not a match to Stock but still not bad. Mozilla and Opera are pathetic IMO.
Regards.
If you want full text reflow like you get on other phones then Opera Mobile offers this, not just double tap reflow but when you pinch zoom in out it will reflow the text to fit the screen the default browser does not offer this.

xscope, not only is it very smooth but it also renders text at small sizes better than other browser making it easier to read (this way you can zoom out of most pages and still read everything)
btw the speed differences are negligible, they all score around 950 in peacekeeper with a difference of 6 points (ie 0.5%) at worst
I think you should test xscope, miren, dolphin hd and mine, opera and stock because these are all good but in different ways, see which one suits you
stock browser should have hardware acceleration and it is really smooth and fast with scrolling and multitouch...it is the best that i ever used
the main problem of opera is the remote rendering, you have to remember to not send any login details

only opera mini does this, opera mobile doesnt, and I sort of trust opera
I vote for opera mobile too .. stock does not have reflow on pinch.

Yeah on sgs you could pinch to zoom then double click to make the text reflow. On sgs2 it zooms out.....
yes..opera mobile is a good browser but it isn't at samsung stock level
That lack of reflow was quite annoying. I'm also using Opera Mobile. I like its Chrome like start screen.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I never had a problem with text reflow in the stock browser.... but the fact it gave checkerboard patterns all the time when scrolling made me try other browsers.
I've tried Miren, Opera and Dolphin HD. Personally, I find them all about equally as good, but in different ways. I like the interface of the latest Dolphin HD the best but Miren seems a smidge faster, and Opera faster still.

I think chrome's start screen is Opera like (seriously opera looked like that, with the speeddials, years before chrome was released)

Opera Mobile.
Had Miren for a while, also Stock, tested Dolphin HD.
Opera mobile brings its own presto engine, not using web kit like stock and Dolphin.
This results in best rendering and by far better HTML5 compliance (best of all mobile browsers on all platforms).
Speed is great with ~60'000 in browsermark, slightly more than stock and Dolphin.
Different flash contents on one page can be activated separately.
I like opera link a lot as well.
With opera:config countless settings are available, including user agent.

We gotta admit safari is a damn good browser for phones i seriously wish it could be ported somehow.

U guys recommend opera mini or the normal browser? Mini is supposed to be faster right?
Just got my new note 3 today (sim free N9005) and I don't like the stock browser as compared to my note 2. I found the browser to be loading slower, pages are not zoomed properly, kinetic scrolling is not as responsive and for some really strange reason when I click at a picture on mobile version of Facebook website, it is displayed very small in size. Chrome does not seem to suffer from this problem. Can anyone else please confirm these performance issues and possibly suggest solutions. I am really annoyed because of stock browser's performance and miss my note 2.

I stopped using the stock browser as soon as I had turned on any accessibility services as it started talking! 'Page loading' 'page loaded" etc. Very annoying. Mostly using Chrome and Boat browsers now.

Stopped in to look at one today and the most important feature for me to check out first was the browser. I was not impressed. No text flow and similar issues as other posters. I left sprint without buying. Very disappointing

Looks like i might go with the G2. Browser is super important to me and i dont like chrome or the other 3rd party browser ( except the AOSP one) but it defeats the purpose of using the touchwiz feature within the stock browser itself.
They removed Quick Controls, Google Bookmarks AND Flash Support... no thank you.
I thought the N3 would be better than N2 & N1 in every aspect? But no... worse browser, worse speaker... better region lock though

Removing google bookmarks killed it for me. Why would they do that? I am back to chrome beta now and doing fine.
Is it not possible to install note 2 version of stock browser?

I switched to Chrome from the outset.
Chrome and Firefox way better

The kinetic scrolling is pretty bad on this thing sadly.
Developers, I want your attention towards the multi window feature which is available in some high end Samsung phones.
It would be an achievement if our Samsung Galaxy S gets the multi window.
I saw the below given link in which this feature has been ported successfully to Galaxy Grand Quattro
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544955
I think a 4" screen is probably too small for multi window, maybe I'm wrong.

And the Galaxy s Advance?? Have the same screen and have multi window -.-
You mean someone has added it in a ROM?
That doesn't always mean it's a good idea lol
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
I have an S3 now (I had a Galaxy S before though), 4.8 inches of screen with Multiwindow. It may just be because I have big hands, but even on the S3, multiwindowing is barely comfortable. On the S, who knows how well that may work.
Also, that multiwindow needs Samsung JB 4.1.2.

Don't get me wrong though, it has its uses. Youtube surfing while Facebook/Messaging is pretty damn cool.

There is no point using it on a 4 inch device. I find using it on my s4 a bit hard at times. The S1 may not perform very well if this implementation is added to the phone.

I'm a true believer that it has its uses, just not on a 'small' screen.

But it is a cool feature that is much desired.
Whatsapp+MX player
xda+gallery
music+camera
maps+Internet
messaging+play store
tubemate+ uc browser
etc. and so on are the combinations which are welcome.
It would be a huge achievement for having this on our SGS rather than buying S4

Wrong. In omni ROM if you go to the recent apps list and hold your finger on an app it let's you put it into split view.
I tried whatsapp with MX player. Phone goes a bit laggy, and if you click in the whatsapp pane then the video pauses. Personally I'd prefer to watch my videos in nice fullscreen landscape and check my messages by pulling the notification shade down.
