Camera button not working - HTC EVO 3D

Anybody having trouble with the camera button not working? Camera works only if i click the app. No ota updates installed. Doesn't work to launch app or to take pic or vid.
can HTC install a trackball on this thing?

Mine seems to work just fine, I did install the OTA's though.

Well, maybe a hardware problem. The first phone they activated for me had a non functioning power button. They caught that before I left the store but never checked the camera button.

The red ring around the camera is coming loose on mine I contacted HTC they said call back next week.

I know I have to press and hold to launch the camera app from my homescreen.

You have to press and hold the camera button for about ten seconds before it opens

Assign program to camera button (Q)

I use Vignette since a while and am very happy with this program.
Now i want to assign Vignette to my camera button so it will open when I press it.
I searched everywhere on my phone but couldn't find it. It sounds to me it should be extremely easy but for some reason I can't figure it out.
Does anyone know how to assign an app to your camera button??
Cheers,
Arnold
Open Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, (wait for it to load), Camera.
Click "Clear Defaults". The next time you press the camera button you'll be prompted as to what application you want to use with it.
The same feature works for other apps, for example Messaging, you can choose another app to handle SMS.
Thank you very much for replying, but I can't clear defaults as there aren't any selected according to the system. Strange thing is however, after I been in this camera settings, my camera button does nothing at all anymore when I push it...
I have the feeling I move further away from what I wanted than coming closer...

You have to press it hard for 2 seconds.. try it... this button is kind of hard to press...
i pressed it so hard for about ten seconds, it almost came out on the other side but the button has now no function at all
Didn't work
Didn't work for me either. Followed the instructions and it just took slightly longer when i mashed the camera button.
Try uninstalling the vignette app rr install and press camera button it should ask which one you would like to set by default

Search the forums; this question has been answered many times.
Hold the back button and press your home key.

Did you hold back then press the home key and not just pressing them at the same time?

In the new Froyo builds that started to pop up if you LP the back button it is supposed to launch a screenshot app.
I don't think it works on our Vibrants though.
I did it earlier by accident but I can't redo it.

[Q] Back button not working

Hello All,
short history:
I dropped my phone the glass shattered but the touchscreen and every button was still working.
Took it to a repair center, they fixed it up but now my back button isn't working. The menu button is working but the back button is just refusing duty.
Also the keys won't light up anymore, which makes me think that there may be some kind of software trick.
Taking it back is not useful feedback .

First of all it doesn't work. -phone buttons works, home works, other buttons just don't do anything.
Second of all thats not even close to a solution.

Hey, hey, hey

Just switched over from Samsung Fascinate (hey nitsuj17). 4g is super fast I'm loving this phone, got all the vzw bloat disabled. Can't wait for s-off, root and all that good stuff.
I have one question though. Why is there no notification quick-settings, wasn't that added in 4.1?

Added by nit... Settings in the upper right hand corner is similar.
I thought the one x and other HTC phones had the quick setttings tab on stock.

They did. We didn't get the recent app button remap either.

That's the way I felt till I started using it. Now I love it. I still find myself wanting the search button.

I thought I was gonna hurl the thing out a window when I first got it. Now I use the recent apps button all the time. I sure miss having them rotate though
And I agree, I miss the search button.
Long press on the home button for recent apps is more efficient use of the buttons. Then the recent apps button could be search.

Unless I am mistaken, this is how the "3-button mod" works. It will be another benefit of the pending root.

quick setting and htc on sense4/4.1/4/5/4+ has been an oddity for sure across the one series and other phones
on random ota/roms they enable it, others they disable it, others they completely remove the code
many sense4.1 ota's enabled a toggle in settings that allowed for switching of "recent" apps to menu...ours didnt for some reason
once you are rooted, custom roms fix this issue...and viperRom allows you to completely remap the long presses of all 3 buttons, and select what you want the menu to be
cant wait for root then

Nice. thanks
Radio is now 1.12.11.1119 and 4G is working inside my office building...no more having to go outside it seems.....
Updates to the Gallery. Now when you open it up you can pick the source
Update to the music app. Same with gallery...you can pick the source.
Update to how it handles 4G and WiFi..basically promising to turn them off when it knows it won't need them as opposed to always scanning.
Update to message app. There are more settings for personalization such as changing bubble colors and background
Low res contact fix which is common for all 4.1 I think
Color scheme change from green to blue to match JB
Pin enabled lock screen change
You can open up the maps to see where your pictures were taken
Stock browser has new look and is JB updated
Power saver
Keyboard has been changed up as well. Now can turn off arrows. Can't turn off prediction (well idk how to)
And more stuff...so far what I pointed out is just what I found to be important to me. I just now got to install this >.< I unrooted and updated.
Edit:
The HTC music app widget in the notification area now has the option to go back as well as pause and go forward
Wallpapers no longer scroll (figuring out of this is on purpose or if there's something i need to mess with)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKrJaB6OUvI&feature=youtube_gdata_player If anyone wants to see the update before us rooted people get it. Not my video just throwing that at there.

I was hoping that the ringtone and notification volumes would be separate, but they are not.
Oh well, same old work arounds...
the sound in poweramp mutes temporarily whenver I hit the power button.
Soundhound app button
The soundhound app that was built in now has an icon in the apps tray. Never did before and I had to search for it. I know there was a workaround, I just never got around to doing it.

That's a bummer, I had my fingers crossed that would be different in JB. Curious - what workarounds are you using?

A feature I noticed when about to go to bed...in the clock app, when setting an alarm, the minutes dial now snaps to 10 minute increments. Pretty convenient compared to the previous endless spinning behavior!
is this the new gingerbread update?
