Very good question! I want to know, too!

...unfortunately they don´t light up at all

Who's stupid idea was that?? if they can bother to put a little led in the powerbutton......

I'm so glad they don't light up. If you are watching a movie on the HD or looking at a slide show of pictures, then lit up buttons would be an eye-sore.
It never happens to me that I don't know where a button is. I mean, it's only four buttons, spaced nicely apart from each other, and with haptic feedback. So, why do you need them to light up?

Samsung Galaxy S II 2 startup video

Hey guys check this video out, it has the samsung logo on the galaxy s ii!
It must be the retail version!

Nice! Thanx dude!

So smooth and fast

it's so smooth even with that power hungry live wallpaper
And what a screen O.O

Man, I really want this phone but can I really wait that long? Hurry it up Samsung!!!

Did anyone else see something blink on the top of the phone (above the logo to the left) at 0:18? Is that a notification LED?!?

We had the same discussion on Dutch forum. Goran040 mentioned proximity sensor there.
This looks the same:

Yeah was the only thing that came in my mind but golf gave the good reason because it's the same color.

Fast boot-up. I like it.

Most cheap cameras (anything under semi-pro) don't have IR filters, so the IR proximity LED (the reflection of which is detected by a sensor next to the LED when the phone is next to your ear) shows up as a purple-white light in stills or video.
You will see the same effect if you point your phone's camera (or most consumer video cameras or non-DSLR still cameras) at your TV remote and press a button.
You will not be able to see anything with the naked eye.

thanks given and +1

Shame though

Great response, it did have people thinking that there might have been a easter egg with this device.

They still can't get the BOOTANIMATION any smoother? Pretty embarrassing.

Ok this is nice and all, but do you guys really care so much about the boot animation? I mean if you meet your friend are you like "Well it has SAMOLED+ display and all that, but look at that awesome boot animation!!!" ?

Unfortunate Dark Side of Screen :(

I have used the Note for a few days, but it became obvious that the screen at the right side is a bit darker than the rest of the screen... (see attached picture) (its my own picture, no gradients in the original)
I went back to the store in Den Haag, Netherlands where I bought it, hoping to get an exchange, but no Now its in repair )
When the screen is at its brightest, it not really shows, but if its at half brightness its pretty obvious...
So, I am back to my iny tiny S2 again, fortunately I didn't sell it yet...

!!
i don't see anything abnormal it looks fine to me

Same here

I tried to ignore it for 2 days, if you are Dutch, read my blogbost (sig), but I know it would bother me until I got a Note2 with ICS.

And just to prove it:
This is simply done in MSPaint. Ive taken a sample of colour from the left of the screen and the right of the screen and put them side by side to show even the hard of sight that the right side is definitely darker than the left.

Vinokirk, thanks!

Wait!
So is this a problem with all Notes, or just the one which is mentioned in OP?

Yeah could some other users do a test?

But, if you want to test, do it with a solid color bitmap, at a lower brightness.... Solid white or grey will do as well... I think
In my attachment you find the one above (sort of windows background)

I don't see anything.
We need a more standardized test though.
If you run the facebook applications, is the right side darker?
The blue banners, or the white background? Mine looks fine, and I keep my screen pretty dim to save battery.

Anything.
Good that yours is ok.

It is very possible. My S2 exhibits noticable brightness difference when brightness is set to too high and this difference is only detectable when viewing all white web pages. But for normal use, the lowest brightness settable is too high for me and hence I use app called "Screen Filter". I set it down to as much low as 20% during night or when bed lamp is on. The scariest part I saw one night is a faint unmistakable circle of around 1.5cm diameter only visible in white background while "screen filter" is dimming it further by 50% to 20%.
I tried to capture with my DSLR but couldn't get anything better than I've attached. To naked eye, this circle is distinctly visible. If you do not see circle in the attached image, please ignore coz I frankly couldn't capture better.
Hint: the circle is on the top left of the picture.

[Q]Screen getting yellow tint on certain angle

If it's a blotch or lines, it should be the glue. It'll go away after a few days/week. If it's just generally yellow when you tilt it, it's the pixel arrangement.

You can change and tweak the colors if you install a custom kernel that has the ability to do it like franco.kernel or trinity. you will need an application like the Franco.kernel updater app (paid) or trickster mod app (free) to tweak it.

Misaligned Front Camera S7 EDGE

Hi Guys,
I purchased the Galaxy S7 Edge from Uae and now I am back in my hometown.
unfortunately my phone is only a month old and i just noticed that the front camera is misaligned by 1mm or so, you can see more of the black ring and the lens of the camera is more towards the right.
Although the camera works perfect and there are no problems, should i be worried?
I am extremely worried as the phone has no warranty in my country .

Mine is a bit misaligned as well. I wouldn't worry about it as long as it works as it should.

Thank God that is such a relieve as I don't have warranty support in my country and if i go to a service center they are known to rip customers off by selling unwanted parts especially to phones without warranty.
Is this normal, I saw this on other devices and some were aligned correctly?
Could you please share a picture of your device if possible?

Yea dont worry about that. I believe most are like that people just dont look that hard at there phones.

Yea its just a bit off on the bottom of the camera.
You gotta look real hard to see. But its there. Doesnt effect anything since it doesnt cover the lense.

Same here i can see that theres much room on the bottom part of my front camera, but its working fine.

By room you mean the black part correct? As I can see more of the black ring which makes a gap between the lens and the outer ring but again mine is on the left side and not bottom so is that okay?

Yes. Its like the hole in the top glass was cut to big and off ceneter.

Alright thanks a ton

The black one is mines. It has a screen protector on so thats the top offset.
But if you look at the black trim you can see where on the buttom of the camera it has more space then the top as its off center
My wife is the sliver one.
I did my best to take a picture of it. You can see how hers is center.
Either way it dossnt effect the camera.
And fyi these pictures were taken with the phone lol.
My nikon battery was dead.

Thank you so so so much for the pictures.
Mine is somewhat just like yours, I am glad that I'm not the only one.
Your wife's camera also looks a little misaligned from the right or I don't know if its because of the picture.
It's just ironic that a phone with such a hefty price, one would expect some quality and tolerance?
