Just now I tried similar steps with the video repeatedly, but I still didn't encounter raster scan line issue.

ya it does not come out everytime, only sometimes

but did you saw the effect in the video?
do you think it is considered a defect?

another video showing more tries

It do appear for me when continue focusing in dark area sometimes during not able to focus.

ok, then it means not me only.

so... don't know whether should feel happy or not lol

I found that it appears mostly when there is much change in light condition
especially when focus a non-dark area, then suddenly focus a dark area
then the line will come out

Happen on what mode

It is happening when I am on golf mode
*
default mode, automatic I think

I tired golf mode, different things
golf mode will show many flickers (there is a pop out warning says it will has flickers under low light condition)
it is different from the raster lines I mentioned

LOL another funny thing I discovered
when I keep playing with the camera, focusing this and that
suddenly I feel the top right corner of the phone got vibration

It is not normal phone vibration like when your phone ring
It seems like the vibrations come from the camera lens?
but this is no DSLR, how come got vibration???

@joytest I feel the apps list on page 1 is not completed.
Below is my humble suggestion that can be added into page 1.
If necessary, I can help find the download links too.

battery monitor widget - show graph of battery usage over long duration
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...ccc71.bmw&hl=en
http://apkgalaxy.com/android-apps/battery-...v2-7-7-apk.html

network monitor mini pro - show real time internet speed, best to check if the connection is not disconnected
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...icatorPro&hl=en
http://apkgalaxy.com/android-apps/network-...1-0-78-apk.html

kakao talk - similar to LINE or whatsapp, but can find Korean leng lui
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...akao.talk&hl=en

next file explorer - pretty UI
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...app.fx.rr&hl=en

timely - very very pretty alarm clock
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...in.timely&hl=en

dice player - my favourite video player since long time ago
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...aplayer.a&hl=en

pulse - news reader, I prefer this over flipboard, this 1 can show many news under single page
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...nso.pulse&hl=en

mobizen - real time access your phone on PC, no lag, good for PC user (you can see your message in your pc instead of unlocking your phone), good for presentation too
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...t.mvagent&hl=en

google keep - note and task list, not pretty, but convenient because sync with google account
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...roid.keep&hl=en

teamviewer - remote control your PC at home, add torrent task maybe? copy a file into your dropbox so you can access from your phone?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...rket.mobile&hl=en


Keyboards related

swype - best gesture keyboard
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...ype.trial&hl=en
touchpal x - not bad gesture keyboard

nobody's doing the SGP bulk? if possible want to find SGP Neo Hybrid case with cheaper price.. sweat.gif
*
I also want SGP neo hybrid, but I think it is pre-order only.
probably will launch 10-October something.

Waiting someone kind enough to bulk it.
As I posted very detailed information few pages earlier.

basically 3 choices
1) buy from spigen ebay, more than 100USD then free shipping, BUT maybe long shipping time up to 30 days?
2) buy from korean market, shipping not expensive, fast, BUT got antenna hole on top right corner
3) buy from cubix shop, RM139, BUT recently seems like got promotion free casing worth RM39 while waiting for SGP case

QUOTE(881118 @ Sep 28 2013, 04:22 AM)
any1 wan bulk purchase SGP casing and SP please include me

Korea pre-order only RM75, but it has antenna hole at the top right corner, shipping is about RM45, bulk purchase will be cheaper as the shipping cost increase slightly but can share by many people

Spigen Ebay however is 29.99USD + 12.15USD shipping = 42USD...
BUT there is 1 catch, there is free shipping if buying $100 above, although it maybe much slower to arrive
Shipping $55.90 for quantity 10

The US version is still expensive for me, maybe I will just get the Korean version.
I really like the yellow colour.
*
US version about 30USD ~ RM90
Korean version about 25000won ~ RM75
(not including shipping)

BUT Korean version got an antenna hole at top right corner.

QUOTE
For the Sgp, at the moment, stock might arrive within the end of this month or early october.

So anyone who orders the SGP casing, will receive a free Remax casing worth RM39 to keep their phones protected while waiting for the SGP casing


quote from cubixshoppe from his thread
not bad also if buy from him, less hassle

What's the problem with the antenna hole?
*
FYI, Korean phone got antenna to watch TV, so their case need a hole for the antenna to extend
Msia phone no antenna, quite weird if the case got a hole

Also, the case protection may become 1-5% less protective
(Imagine you are unlucky and you dropped your phone exactly on the top right corner)

Maybe I'll just import mine from China if I decided to get the SGP casing.
It seems so. hmm.gif

If you import from China, please help organize bulk
can reduce your shipping cost too rclxms.gif

Gratz to everyone who got this device.

Post your questions here, and workable responses will be added to page 1. In v6 I will expand the sections.

All, please tell me what you'd like to see on page 1.

What about adding a section for common defects?
some of our phone have some defects (bad backplate, red tint camera, bad screen, bad button, etc...)
so that first time buyer can easily check for these common issue when they got their phone 1st

bad back plate = none
bad screen = i checked and checked, screen is clean and nice
bad camere= raster lines when low light GOT, red tint NONE
bad button = all button working perfectly
sudden death = hoping this will not happenĀ  hmm.gif

for me

bad back plate -very minor scratch on arrival
bad screen -no problem, no dead pixel
bad camera -raster lines when low light
bad button -bad home button, quite noisy (tik tak sound) when press, sometimes STUCK and cannot release
kies connection -not yet check
earphone -not yet check

anymore common issues that we should check when we got our phone?
