I don't know when it happened, but I just noticed it this morning. I have two shutter buttons on my screen. Funny thing is they both work when taking pictures. Anyone else have this issue?
FIGURED IT OUT. It is the floating camera button. LOL
it's floating shutter button, you can move it anywhere on the screen, go to camera setting and turn it off if you don't want it.

above is what I have done to my phone so far.
need for a different camera after experiencing todays issues. dont know if any of you FABULOUS developers have considered the following camera issue but this is what I realized today & am now searching for solution camera.
when recording footage with phone camera and you need to [pause] for a period, the camera display stays on and helps run battery down. Need to have display go to black after 20 seconds after pausing and returning to displaying image after you press the power button to aid in saving battery power (stupid lock button in this case).
OR be able to hit the power button yourself after pausing recording mode to make display go off until you press power button again to turn on display again.
I tried to film kids at the county fair and needed the pause feature alot and to also conserve battery. pressing the power button just [locks] it....
so I tried pressing home screen after pausing and then pressing the power button to turn off display but then the recording session I had paused would be gone.
Then I tried pausing the recording session and just turning and holding camera lens to my chest thus blocking any light, therefore the screen would be black (dont know if this would effect battery consumption). The problem with that was that before I could press the pause button off to continue to record again the stupid camera would "time out" and then what I had recorded up to then in that segment would be gone yet again..
so... to recap my camera needs. I would like to flash an update that would take away the camera time-out period when pausing, and disable the "LOCK" feature and make that button the display on/off button while NOT turning off the app. and maybe even, if the camera is in [pause mode] and you press the back button a window will pop up asking if intention is to turn off display to save battery while in pause mode or to close camera app.
it may be a placebo effect but I swear the display shows photos and footage
MUCH more brilliant and clear with the PWGB2.0 beta3 ROM...
I love this PWGB ROM....
try it if you havent yet. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS.
HOPE SOMEONE COMES THRU.

[EDIT]....NO LONGER USING kernel: imoseyon_leanKernel_i500_voodoo_1.4.0
AND
TWlauncher.apk: TouchWizGTG_New_Dock_Colored_Icons_All_Variations.zip
Removed kernel because I saw no difference in speed and battery efficiency.
Removed TouchWizGTG New_Dock...zip because of too many freeze up and force closes.
Maybe missed this in some other threads, search wasn't helping much though.
Is there a way to either:
A) Make the volume rocker the shutter button? I can zoom on the touch screen (running Alien4)
B) Make the shutter voice activated, say by saying "Cheese" "Click" or something when in the camera app (might be a tasker thing?)?
trying to hit the touch screen shutter button one handed can be a pain in the ass.

Say Cheese.
looks like that can do the voice activated deal, is there a way to make the volume hardware button the shutter button?
Re the physical buttons pictured here:

Which way do they go into the frame? I am right with the camera and volume buttons, as I noted which way they were, but the on/off button fell out before I could note which way the tab went. Anyone have an idea?
-- Mic Jack - Vol Up/Vol Down ----------- Power --- Camera ---
Holding it with screen facing you rightside up.
Thanks, but you misunderstood me ......... I know WHERE each button goes, as you have described. But which way does each individual button sit in the frame?
As I said, I know the camera and the volume buttons, because they have external features that are assymetrical and I noted which way they went before disassembling the phone.
But if you look at the on/off button in the photo is has a little stepped tab on one side. Does this tab point towards the screen or towards the back of the camera?
Regards, Bernie.

Tabs face towards the screen.
When I start the camera it continuously auto focuses so half pressing the shutter button doesn't do anything.
I tried looking for away to turn off continuous auto focus in the settings, but found nothing. So... what is the point of have having a half press on the shutter button when it doesn't do anything?

Despite having no lock screen set, I cannot get the volume button long press to work to load the applications. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? The option is enabled, and I've only disabled applications that deal with the voice recognition stuff from LG.
Edit: Go figure... After half an hour of research and trying different things it only works after I posted this question. I have no idea what I did differently.

I assume your talking about the screen off press and hold to launch camera or quick note trick? I've noticed a couple Times it hasn't worked right for me, but it usually does.
Make sure your screen is off, and press vol down and hold for a good couple seconds and it should launch the shortcut. Also make sure the proximity sensor isn't covered. Mine didn't work at all when it was covered, which is the same for the double tap to wake.
Btw, do you know how to change what the button launches? I like the camera but don't care for quick note, and didn't see a way to change it.

I have found they will not launch for me if I am in a Chromecast session, or playing some music with the screen off through the phone's speaker. I am assuming that was my problem since I can't replicate it under any other circumstances.
There is an option in the phone's menu system to turn it on or off, but it does not allow for the shortcut to be changed. We'll have to wait for custom ROMs to give us this feature.

Yeah that does make sense. And I didn't think they were changeable but it's good to know this is confirmed.
