Is it true that the only way to mute the camera is by muting the whole phone first?

Two main reasons, honestly:

1. Taking pictures of my one year old when he is sleeping. And I tell you, you really donwan to wake up a one year old and lost all peace at home.

2. The camera sound is really horrible, like pliap pliap pliap, embarassing like farting sound, kid you not

Haha, before this phone I've been finding gadgets to fit my needs and usage and always ended up with multiple devices (phone plus tablet). And the tablet always ended up hardly use. But with note2, problem solved! The slightly narrower width ngam ngam fit even my jeans nicely compared to note1 (I m average size guy). The only problem now is there are so many features to learn in this phone that it is taking longer to master

For me, anecdotally, the battery with moderate to heavy use definitely lasts a day with 20-30% left late night, in fact I wish it ngam ngam finish at the end of the day so I can charge nicely from 0-100% at night. But overall, having this phone, battery is not an issue at all and with the optimization in jelly bean, just turn on 3g, the OS will smart enough to switch optimally when 3g or wifi is needed. Toggling between 2g and 3g, though can prolong the usage may not be pratical because of the hassle of toggling. My advice would be to embrace 3g and forget about the hassle of toggling to truly enjoy this device the way it was intended to be.my 2 cents.

Trust me you can, I have a phd in battery science all modern battery got threshold for charging, the 0% you see is actually at least extra 10% left to avoid severing the chemical.

Btw good to know that the free 50gb dropbox storage is for life (unless they change policy) and will not be deleted after 2 years. It will just be read-only mode.

I know some may disagree, but I'm glad GN2 doesn't have that annoying scrolling wallpaper like in stock Android..is it the same in all samsung android since this is my first touchwiz ?

After 100% leave in continue charging for another 1-2hour trickle charge, get more juice

Oh really, which settings?

LOL Oh ya u waiting for SME..4more days to go very soon

Finally the 15% battery warning just came up after one whole heavy use today

Oh ya, one thing I notice while playing batman, the framerates are so much better than nexus 7

I'm actually glad samsung didnt use 'superior' material but plastic, really appreciate the weight because I do a lot of reading at night..other phones too small, 10" and 7" tablets too heavy but 5.5" is just perfect for me, like a nice and small paperback book

Bought 6 devices from them, no problem whatsoever, price always competitive and they always bring in lots of stock and always the first folks to import latest releases.

On AP or SME set for those who ask, my advice is just go with SME, full stop. The very fact you ask this question, high chances you ll have more peace with ori set, so wait a bit lor. For me its easy, the very first day the term AP used for mobile phone sales in Malaysia, I have been buying AP. The main reasons for me personally are:

1. For good stuff, I wont wait to buy. The moment it is buyable and price is not ridiculously marked up, I ll buy it. The chances of getting a lemon from a trustable AP seller and SME is exactly the same.

2. I'm a cheapskate. If I can get a cheaper by rm200-500 for the same quality phone, I ll get the cheap one and the extra money I ll treat myself with a nice latte and maybe a nice case. But if the difference is less than rm100, I ll go with ori if I can get it same time as AP.

3. Warranty is something I m not worry about for item below rm10k. Worst case scenario I ll have no problem getting a completely new set and sell off the broken one in garage sales for stupid low price. The only thing I m not ok with is wait long long for whether AP or ori fixing my phone. From over decade of buying phones, I had more incidents of ori set warranty claim giving me headache and BS than AP set. Obviously this point only reflect on my own personal experiences and preferences, its completely understandable and valid for others having a assurance of warranty is important.

Ok that's my take on the AP/SME question

Ya another point worth mentioning is to lookout for problematic devices reported online like nexus 7. I got the ori since its only rm50 diff and its a crazy risky device that Asus spewed out in less than 4 month after Google instructed them to design and manufacture it..siao

Those faults are nothing compared to nexus 7 before batch c90, almost 8 out of 10 sets got defects..anyway,sold mine not because of defects but doesnt fit my usage. But I've redeemed the USD25 Play Store credit before selling

I think nobody got this yet whether ap or not, samsung said in next OTA from their official reply.

Like any original manufacturers accessories, they are obscenely expensive. But I still getting it because of the thinness, extra back case for safe keeping and the included nfc chip...tested on the other cases, a bit hard to get into my jeans so pain in the a $$

64gb ap following pretty soon

For those who install lots of big games, do wait for 64gb ap.
