Same issue here.
I wish there was two or three flash setting strong medium and light.

Use a cameraman trick, hold a piece of tissue over it.
Tear a small piece of tissue wet a corner and temporarily stick it so it screens the LED, I haven't tried it but it should work

Hi,
Me too, my baby Cry when i take a Pics.
a Dev on this flash problem is a good idea

Stop taking pictures in low light. Problem solved.
The sensors in the phones are not big enough.

Well, here we go.
To reduce the brightness of the flash you must quicken the shutter speed. Where is that on our phones?

DIY Great macro lens for sgs3

Well i was browsing through reddit i found a nice DYI, and decided to make one for you guys.
I used the macro function on the camera aswell, it really gives awesome pictures
1. Get a Laserpen
2. Gently remove the lens from the pen without breaking it
3. Now use a hairpin to squeeze the lens inbetween
4. Use a piece of sticky tape to keep it in place
Even though the light was really bad and i had no tripod the pictures got really good
:edit: All pictures taken with stock android 4.0.4 camera

will try soon... great search...

can'tn wait to try it outside when it gets day....

Nice find, I'll try this after I buy a crappy laser pen

that means that i have to kill them first, to get them to sit still, that includes either frying them with a electric fly zapper, or hitting them with something, both wich make them not especially photogenic, ill try to find one that is whole

That's f-ing awesome!
Get a few more of different things. I'd love to see what can be done with it

Sure man! Wish I could get an engraved cover and I am pretty sure Lebron is not tech savvy enough to know about the Note. He probably just got it because its "regular sized" for him lol :highfive:

What about now?

Phones this size are perfect for basketball players and from what I've read and seen he's actually been using this as his daily driver! I think this phone is great for anyone who can palm a basketball, thats why I have no problem with the size for myself.
As for you Laker fans, they have too much against them to even get out of the western conference this year. They need to gel together as a team, they need to get comfortable with Dantoni's system, and they need to learn how to be a top defensive team. I'm not sure if they can accomplish that last point under Dantoni. Also as much as I hate to say this about a fellow Canadian, I think Nash may be all washed up now. At this point I'd say that the Grizzlies, Clippers, Thunder, and Spurs have much better chances of making it to the finals this year.
GO HEAT GO! lol

Crap, makes me want to sell my Note2. If it was Kobe, I'ld smash it.

lol I just couldnt help myself. I have 2 main passions in life, basketball and technology.
Probably feels like a toy phone sized for a baby!

As a Brit, this post means nothing to me!
Still, if anyone wants an engraved case then they should just Google phone engraving as there are lots of companies offering this service.

Quiet day in the office so I made a Zoe...

This feature is, in essence, massively pointless. A gimmick. Yet I keep playing with it... working the bank holiday today and it's pretty quiet...
(Best watched in HD )

Can't wait to get this phone. Nice job man!

Anybody done a "Zoe for dummies" guide yet?

Zoe is what tipped the scales in favour of the One over the XZ. Hope it takes off in a big way.

haha! nice work!

This will probably sound stupid and obvious but how do you get the videos to go in order?? my Zoes do the photos and videos randomly?

I do not like coffe.

Quick question, did you add the audio yourself afterwards in another program or do you do it through a "zoe feature" and select from a bunch of different audios?

Being constructive,....I think the transitions effect could do with slowing down just a little to give more of a melt effect.....Just to match the tempo of the music a bit better

You should make a video where a girl and guy are walking down the street and they see each other but out of his back pocket is an iPhone so turns away as the iphone isn't worth her time.
