Here goes a screen shot.. camera issues seem to have been resolved. Loads faster now, panorama works as it should, and no reboots so far.

There seems to be other changes: for instance suggested apps, a feature of page buddy seems to work even if you use a third party launcher (I use Apex) and not touchCrap.. oops... i meant touchwiz!

    Where did you find HDR mode or is it on by default?

    For those who can't find & don't know how to use the Rich tone (HDR) mode for video recording... It's simple. You just need to switch to Rich tone (HDR) & press on the "Record" button. :eek: (The record button is grey & not available on old firmware.)

    Hope this help...

    HUGE BUGFIX from EMA: Accessibility Talkback issue is FIXED. Browser doesn't start talking "PAGE LOADED" even with Accessibility turned on with LightFlow...!

    GUYS,

    Stop with the Cam F/W update debacle... it's totally unnecessary! These new cameras no longer require the F/W to reside on the camera itself. As evidence, take a photo with the latest MEA F/W and check the photo EXIF properties. You will clearly note that the F/W used to snap the picture is the latest one on the PHONE, not on the CAMERA.

    Samsung probably did this because so many dimwits were hosing their devices and sending them in for warranty repair because they were flashing the wrong file or just didn't know WTF they were doing. So, now all the camera F/Ws reside on the device!
