Skype on the Note? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories

Whoops! Sorry posted the wrong forum.
Can anyone confirm that Skype works on the Note and specifically can one switch between the front and back cameras?
I have a 7" Galaxy Tab and can't switch the camera as the option is not available and want to know if the option is avaiable on the Note.
Many thanks.

I can confirm both receive and sending video works. Including both camera's with the switch option without any tweaking required.

Awesome news! Thanks. Will be great to keep in touch with my family in Oz. I should have one in my hands later today.

Now if only there was a sensible way to CLOSE Skype when it's not needed...

[Q] Looking for App: Call Recorder

I am looking for a good and working phone call recorder. Which can record directly, not over the speaker or something else.
In the market I saw some of them but they seem to be buggy.
Any idea?

Me too, but I have found none that works well is isn't crapware.
My only hope so far is Total Recall by Killer Mobile. I paid for their product some time ago for my Symbian handset and it has been perfect. Reliable and very flexible (you can define rules, exclusion lists, etc)
Unfortunately the developer seems to be working on Android versions.. some are working in some units but on the Galaxy it is still not finished. I downloaded the demo but it didn't work.
You can keep an eye on it tho at Killer Mobile's site (forum part).
If anyone knows of a better product for android, please let us know... call recording is very useful when you need to keep track of details and can't write at the time.
i saw a couple of them on Android Market, forgot the name
they both can record live calls
is good if you want to tape something to be used as evidence
any news?
The original post is a few months old, can anyone name a working application please? I switched from Omnia 2 and cant find any program that can match Vito Audio Notes or Resco Audio Recorder
Total Recall records only in A-Mode a few seconds, beginning with the line waiting (ringing on the other side) and the sound is distorted.
(the missing call recording and Garmin Maps make me think to go back to WinMo)
Thanks!
Hi, suggestion awaited..........

check hero/g2 forum, someone made a call recoder, it uses kernel library specific to hero so dosn't work on other phones, but devs can try hack like that on sgs... maybe.
Any NEWS on this issue.
haven't found a proper application until now.
http://www.getjar.com/mobile/1305/total-recall-call-recorder/
haven't tired it yet. SGS is listed as compatible. Will test it myself once I flash to jp6.
Tried it and have to say it does not work very well so far. I'll play more with different settings before uninstall.

[Q] Call Recoder

I was wondering if anyone knew of a, preferably free, call recorder for android, that doesnt beep every * minutes etc, and can store files with call name and date etc, and it records both sides of the conversation. Does anyone know of something like this?
bump still looking for one
Me too
Had onkologs ROM on my Touch HD that had one built in and I miss it.
TL;DR Bump
I try all call recorder but unfortunately it on records what eve i say can't able to record both sides so i like to know is DHD is hardware capable to record both sides or not please any one answer.
Thanks
I'd say any phone is capable of recording both sides if you can install the program.
Just need to find a decent one.
please xda ,its time to develope in call recorder for dhd?
i hope u will try to build a new one for android like hd2.
thanks in advance
Don't waste your time. This won't work. You can only achieve recording from speakerphone.
I have been looking into this since WM6.0 with TyTN and it has always been like that. If it is limited by hardware, whatever you do with software it won't work.
All existing applications declare the same.
Anyway, I would be willing to pay for a software that would do this because it is very important feature for me but haven't found any paid apps either.

Didn't they say same regarding Hero? But hey, it finally worked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806451)
That is the only software I miss since moving to DHD few weeks ago.
Hopefully there will be possibility to record calls soon.
hi again im still wait xda to do that please ?
yes i can promise to donate 50 $ via western union way ,to whom will find a way to record both sides i hope others will promis too even with small donation.
thanks in advance

[Q] OCR input?

Hi all.
I recall reading online prior to the phone's launch that the Note II will feature OCR as a form of text input. Has anyone else come accross this feature yet?
Source:
"Finally, there's the camera - yes, the camera. You can snap a photo of text and the Galaxy Note II will run OCR on it and enter it automatically. The great thing about this is that you don't need an Internet connection for this either. You can fit an entire A4 page and the Note II will transcribe it in a matter of seconds. You'll need to proof-read the text though."

Thank to one and all...
Hope its in the update coming very soon... cause none of those features are on the note2 (mine is from UK)
No. I don't think that feature made it into the update, unless it's in some non-obvious place. Shame.

Yes - you can switch to pen input on the keyboard. You can set the keyboard to automatically switch to pen mode when the pen is taken out. It works remarkably well.
Edit: OCR is not pen - doh!

[Q] - Note 2 Noob

Hello there,
it's now been 1 week since I have my new Note II. Must say: awesome
I know that I haven't discovered all phones feature but I'm exited to discover them. Last cool thing found out: Say "Cheese" to make a photo :laugh:
I've got some question :
1) Actually I've got a TPU case but I would to change it. I'd like to have a Diary Case but I could not find any usefull. The biggest problem was to extract the S-Pen with the diary case I've tested. I'd like to have one that does not have this problem and that have a hole to hear well calls without open it. It should protect well if it accidentally fall down (but I didn't like things like Defender Case). Could you suggest anything?
Optional : Have the possibility to put the phone horizontally
2) When I press the Home button, when it is in stand-by, I must wait 1 second before I can unlock my phone. Why? I'd like to have it immediately. I already disables S-Voice, anything else to do?
3) I'm searching a little bluetooth keyboard, not little as the phone. I was asking me: should I search for a keyboard with trackpad or is it not usefull? (I need the keyboard mainly to take notes)
4) S-Pen : Do you manage to write properly? Is there a cheat or anything? :silly: I've have tested to write something but it seems hard for me
5) Are there any Must-Have apps for Note 2?
6) I've have got problem with the stock email app. Doesn't download mail even with syncro on etc, I delete the email and then he re-download it. Is this normal?
Thanks a lot guys :good:
PS. Power to the Note 2!!

I cant answer all the question as i do not have any knowl3dge about the accesories for note 2
Ques2: try and go to the developer option and turn off all the animations or maybe change it to ×0.5
Ques 4: yes, but i have heard that some have got a too sensitive s pen, and if you have that you should get it replaced

Thanks for the answer. Seems not to be gone this way..
Really? Should I give them back the phone to get it replaced?
Adding another Q..
I've got a Galaxy S charger, can I use that to charge the Note 2 without problem?
No one could help?

1- you should really visit a accessory or mobile shop which keeps all kinds of stuff, there you'll see variety. seeing just the pic and ordering isn't gonna satisfy you
2- I really hate when people curse about waiting 2-3 seconds for a job to be done. i mean how long can be one second
3-you should search galaxy note 2. in my opinion lend a normal Bluetooth keyboard and see if it works with your phone. i read it's possible, but try it first.again accessory store could help. i saw a apple keyboard being connected to note 2.
4- you gotta practice with the s pen. i have used the phone for 2 weeks, and with continuous typing(swype) i manage to write well. do try swiftkey3 and swiftkey flow with pen. they are good apps.
5-must have- no, there isn't actually much use imao, according to my daily use, maybe for others it is. yeah i do make drawings for time pass or write memos instead of typing them in my stupid and not understandable by normal beings , s note and paper artist are enough imao. if you do a lot of video viewing or are new to android air view might help or really are a multitasking user or a busy one, multi window should be a delight.
6-if you can normally use it now just don't give a damn what happened
hope i helped you. if i did hit thanks
