Help camera app issues/ possible alarm bug?

Hey everyone. Just wondering if this has been happening to anyone else with their Samsung Note 2. I'm on sprint, but I don't think that would matter either way.

I was on the phone, and wanted to take a picture and send it via text message. Apparently when I open up the camera application while on the phone it will give me a message saying that I can't take pictures while talking on the phone and the camera app will just shut down. It has been really irritating.

Is this a bug or something? Is this an issue that samsung plans to address and fix? Seriously... this is a basic feature that all smart phones should be able to preform. Especially considering Samsung keeps boasting all of its multi functioning abilities. I'm coming from the original HTC Evo, and it could handle this simple action, and that phone came out almost 3 years ago.

Also, when I set my alarm in the morning sometimes it just shuts off all on its own after like 30 seconds. It will wake me up, but I set my alarm to read me the headlines of the day and a lot of the time it just decides to stop when ever it feels like it. Even mid sentence. Has this been happening to anyone else as well?

Other than that, I freeking love the phone. No other complains. Any support would be great.

Thanks for reading! :D
 
The camera issue must be a Sprint thing is other also have it (anyone?), because I just called my voicemail and while listening to it on speaker (and I tried normal) I was able to take video and pictures

As for the alarm, that has so far not happened to me; my alarms always have worked
 
May be a Sprint think as I've never been able to use cam & phone at same time on my E4GT.

Haven't had any alarm issues.
 
Wow, that's crazy. I'm going to try call voice mail in a few to try this on my Tmo variant.
Just wanted to point out that I do have a glitch with the alarm as well but not like yours. I have one of the stock alarm widgets on my phone but if I use Google now to set up a alarm for say 10min I LOOSE MY HOME SCREEN WIDGET. After the alarm event is over, the widget wont return unless I add it back to the home screen.
 
Just tried using the camera while on my Tmo variant note 2 and it works fine. Does Sprint allow the use of data while on the phone? Ex, looking up info on the browser while on a call. Maybe thats why???
 
Just tried on my sim free Uk handset and it works fine, I use the alarm every day with no problems.
