ya, i'm showing this to those who very concern about their note 2 battery life

From my experience if standby while connected to wifi only drop about 5% in 6hours

If connected to 3g only about 7% drop in 6 hours

U can definitely feel the difference by earphone wit h the right settings but speaker , not so sure . Dont sound any different but then I'm getting old so maybe got hearing problem . 

Muahaha. Making use of my SPen.

How come many of u snapped a lot sharper image? Today's shot :

Guys, other than the stock camera, what camera apps is highly recommend to use and what is the tips or setting to capture nice and sharp image inside note 2?

nope its android OS and hardware issue,

is there a way to add an toggle to off/on autolock function either as a shortcut or at notification panel?

Notice Note 2 price still sky high directd still at RM2199

Depends how will Sony market this. Apart from some Apple ads, the occasional Nokia ad long time ago, nobody else advertises phones on TV except Samsung.

Print ads are still used by everyone, but I rarely read deadtree stuff nowadays, what more with the FB generation ?

different class. Nah its not thrilling enough to get it. I stay with note 2.

If Note 2 is lagging like hell then launch the xperia Z then its wow but since there no lag dont see the wow factor

S-pen = Note 2 wins
Big screen = note 2 win

still

Y not Note 3 or Ip5s ? ........ Chinese got a saying " Eat full 2 easy "

I am used to heavier phones so to me is normal. I also usee to ipad 9.7inch screen and weight so note 2 consider light to me di.

aiyo compare ipad with note 2 off course note 2 light lor
I mean if compare with other phone, note 2 is heavier

Any body know how to set the camera setting when taking night photos?? I saw this topic starter can capture superb night photos..

what do u mean aspire2oo6?? What ISO for? I really noob about the camera setting..

Who wanna provide tutorial for photo shot using note 2?

for those asking for a tutorial on good photo taking, actually there is nothing much to learn for smartphone photo taking. not that it has a lot of setting like DSLR (aperture, shutterspeed etc).
i suggest playing around with the settings eg.scene mode, turn on outdoor visibility and auto contrast, iso settings & metering.

i am no pro but i have taken basic photography classes before. terms might not be correct so corrections are welcomed.
ISO settings (useful when taking photos in lowlight)
- low ISO, less noise (better quality) but cannot capture good lowlight photos
- high ISO, more noise (low quality) but can capture better lowlight photos

I suggest : put it in auto mode. fact is, the camera knows better than you. to know the right setting for ISO, you will need to take in consideration for the aperture etc and do some calculation.
if you're taking photos in lowlight, don't bother with this setting. put the scene mode in lowlight instead. setting can go highest only to ISO800 (which is quite low if you really want to shoot in lowlight) but scene mode sometimes can go up to ISO1600
Metering (useful when your photos are too bright / too dark)
- center weighted: camera adjusts the brightness of the whole image according to the center of the image.
you have more control over matrix mode.

- spot metering: camera adjusts the brightness of the whole image according to one spot of the image.
the whole photo will turn very dark if the spot you chose is bright. vice versa

- matrix: camera adjusts the brightness of the whole image according to the whole image.
you will almost never get an overexposed photo.

I suggest : put it in matrix mode. you will definitely get a better picture end of story. unless you want to try something creative like taking photos in a very dark setting, then this comes in handy.
other than those mentioned above, a steady hand is important. no matter how good your lighting is, if the photo is blur, it's over. of course unless it is intended. this is what my lecturer taught me and i've practiced it until now - hold your breath for a second when you press the camera button. less shaky this way.
don't use digital zoom. chances are, the photos won't turn out good.
and if possible, take photos where there is a lot of light. do NOT use the LED flash if possible.

if you want to learn more, i suggest you take more photos and gain the experience. no tutorial beats accumulated experience.

Any1? TutoriaL Note 2 camera..?

Try not to focus on settings too much. I always use centre weighted. I dont even use scene mode. I focus on how I want to capture the image.

Zooming can be apply on note 2 but just the degree of zooming 1x or 2x with sufficient lighting you cant even tell the difference but the higher it goes the risky it is wilk become mofe pixelated.

Holding your breath only is not enough you must have steady hands one example put your both elbow on to your stomach when capturing the photo it helps to stablized.

Like I mention before if u really want to learn photography avoid using android phone I highly recommend you to start with a phone with carl zeiss lens a good start get a nokia N8.

Here some example taken by nokia n8 without post processing

There this satisfaction when you view back the photos compare to note 2 lazy to keep

@aspire2oo6 The images of N8 taken is totally on par with some DSLR. frankly speaking.. Im not sure Note 2 is capable of capturing the iamage as nokia N8 like the technique "BOKEH".
