Have a new bug - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Ok so i get to know that while using camera app switched to front camera, the heart rate sensor lights up when u place your finger.
After you switched to rear camera. Heart rate sensor doesnt light up. So i guess there a bug when u switched to front camera.
So is it a known bug?
Or only i'm experiencing this?

That isn't a bug. It's a feature, while on the front camera you can touch the heart rate sensor to take a picture. This only works for the front camera.

It's not a bug, it's feature

Owh my i was wondering why it lid up

Front Camera?

Hello everybody, I was reading about the upcoming Sprint version of the HD2 and it sows that the phone is going to have an 8 megapixel camera in the back and another camera in the front for video calling. Anyways, does the US T-Mobile version have a front camera? I see a whole there where there may be a camera but dont know t for a fact. Please let me know what you guys think.
No front camera.
you know i was thinking the exact same thing,it's right next to the led blinker and i was wondering what its there for. Is there anybody who took this phone apart and explored everything.

Would be nice....but nope The EVO will have a front-facing camera, but the HD2 has no such provision. The two small dots you may see just to the left of the ear speaker are the proximity and light sensors.
Also, even if the HD2 had the camera, it's not much good if the carrier hasn't enabled support on the network.

That's probably the ambient light sensor i'm guessing.

I believe it has 2 functions, as you stated ambient light sensor. but if you look closely you'll see 2 holes. I believe the other to be an IR emitter that is used to tell when the phone is up against your face and to turn the screen off during a call. It looks for the reflection of the IR off your skin.
Oh ok good, im not the only person to tihnk it is a camera. loll i thought 1 was a proximity and the other the camera. =) cool to know.

Correct, that's the "proximity sensor"

Just so you know, that is not a HD2 that sprint is getting... its the Evo 4G. Completely different phone, different os... it just looks similar.
It is a front facing camera!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EcHn5BwESk

Yup, that's on the EVO, one of the features that sets it apart from the HD2, though they're very similar. Sprint is using that to create more desire for their 4G service (which is pretty much necessary for stable 2-way video streaming at any usable resolution)

Whats the 4th sensor on the fron of the galaxy s4.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew what the sensors on the fron of the galaxy s4 are. It obviously has a camera, and one is a proximity sensor. I think one is a light sensor, but whats the 4th?
Anyone know? Is it something for motion tracking? (and if so is there an api for it?)
(On an unrelated note, is there any api for the hover above the touchscreen?)
Thanks. I'm just curious. It seems like these phones have more sensors that there are things to sense lol. (seriously does a phone need a pressure sensor and barometer? )

Sensor for air gestures.
Here. Pretty cool picture with lots of info about the sensors on the GS4. As always, GOOGLE SEARCH FIRST!!

Oh so it does have a dedicated one. People on the internets seemed to think the gestures were combinations of the camera and proximity sensor.
But is there anymore info about it? I would love to know more details. And any api?

Why is there an infrared light embedded in the notch?

I don't remember where I saw the photo otherwise I'd post it, but there's actually two sensors embedded in the notch that you can see if bright light is shining into it and from the photo that was shown of the 6T it actually appears one of the "sensors" is indeed giving off infrared luminesce.
It's the proximity sensor

Proximity sensor and ambient light sensor most likely.

S10+ front camera ring lighting effect doesn't seems to work.

As titled.
Everytime I change to that front camera, I never see the ring light effect as in store demo.
Anyone has the problems.
The camera and all others seems to works fine.

When it switch to or using the front camera it will have a light effect around the punch hole.
This is for face recognition only. Once face unlock is set on settings the camera cutout hole will animate.
mine works when face unlock is in progress and when I switch from back camera to front camera

So far seems like the SD version does not light up when switching from rear to front camera. Exynose version will.
Just tested on my Verizon SD version and the ring lights up switching to the front camera.

Mine is the SD version and the ATT model, and mine does light up when switching from rear to front and when doing the Facial recon.
Just tried on my SD and works when switching cameras and for face recognition

Can Samsung Galaxy S7 edge record/capture fingerprint through back/front cameras?

Can Samsung Galaxy S7 edge camera record/capture fingerprint through back or front camera?
Because as per my think galaxy s7 edge camera can capture fingerprint when we put finger on camera or camera when capture our finger prints and it is not good for our security?
What are you talking about?
Cameras can't capture fingerprint..except for in display fingerprint witch s7 doesn't have.
And if you are talking about the heart rate sensor, then no it does not capture your fingerprint.. there's a sensor under led flash which measures your heartbeat..duh

Yes i am talking about smartphone front/back camera sensors can they capture our fingerprints(and can cause security issue) when we take snaps or videos or when we put fingers on cameras sensors?

If the cameras could so easily capture your fingerprint don't you think that the producers would use that, instead of a separate sensor?
