Hello,
it seems the option to double press the power button to launch the camera is not available on the Oppo.
Do you confirm, or did I miss it somewhere?
that's a pretty convenient feature I miss
There is just press and hold power key for 0.5 sec to get google assistant.
Yes found this one. Sad
Hi,
There is a camera shortcut in the right bottom corner of the lockscreen and you can activate the camera by making a O gesture when the phone is locked.
Oppo made some strange choices in the OS though. ColorOS, well at least the international version with Google backed in, isn't all that bad. But activating the camera is one of those things that is restricted. You can launch almost any app from the lock screen by gesture, but when it comes to the camera Oppo decided for you you have to draw a O. A simple swipe up would be a lot faster and the camera is one of those things you just need fast every now and then. Still the shortcut and O gesture work well enough in my opinion.

Hi guys,
My power off button is somewhat messed up, its quite difficult to wake up the phone by pressing it. Is there any other way to turn on the screen without pressing the bloody button, it has driven my crazy lately.
Cheers,
Hi
If the button is really tired, can't you get the seller to change the phone?
Other ideas: in case it would be some software trouble: hard reset?
Use à cab like Mort button, Hbutton, AEbutton to wake up your screen from other command?
PS ShutXp is wat u need ,
set up AEbutton plus like this:
a key(like camera) double tap to to launch shutxp
same key single tap : close application
and tick "today icon" in shutxp it makes it operate smoother
so if u double tap it will come up and single ull be back from standby ... and ull have a nice close app button also
a few skins cuz the default ones are ugly here or here or search button

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That sounds good, will try it tonight
Thanks mate
Got sometime playing around with AEButton, pretty complicated I would say (atleast to). It seems like the soft ware could only assign jobs for hardkey buttons, is there any chance to set up so that when the screen is turned off, double tapping it makes it wake up??
Hello,
When you press the home button it takes around a second for the screen to respond that's because the system is waiting to see if you going to double click for the camera or triple click for the one handed mod.
FIX: disable quick launch camera and one handed mod and see the speed.
Regards
I am not experiencing this at all I hit the button and the screen pops on. No lag. That being said, quick launching the camera is something I can't live without.
I'd not noticed this before but it seems the RN3 left hand button is a recents button on press and a menu button on long press. This prevents the handy split screen feature from working in CM14 and above on this button. I can get this feature to work by adding a "Long press action" to the home button in settings however I would like it to work the same as my other Android devices.
Any thoughts on how this can be changed? I've had a mess in the keyboard layouts (where I also removed the long press on fingerprint to start the camera as it's annoying) but no luck with this.
Thanks.
EDIT: After changing the values again in Settings->Buttons this now seems to be working as it should. Odd.
I have an Xperia 1 ii and will preorder this one as soon as I can. Anyone know what the extra button is for? I see the volume rocker, the power button, then a new button and then the camera shutter button.
Reprogrammable google assistant button?
I have seen a couple of hands on videos stating that the button is in fact programable. This was a concern for me also.
Sure it is for AI assistant, but you can also change to any other AI assistant in the Settings.
In China it won't come with google assistant, but I make it to Xiao AI Tong Xue(AI assistant) from Xiaomi.
Not sure if it's something I inadvertently broke, but when my UK XQ-BC52 61.1.A.2.211 (Android 12) is locked, I can't get into the Photo Pro app by holding the shutton button. It just opens up the lock screen asking me to unlock the phone.
Double pressing the power button does still work though.
My phone has an unlocked bootloader and is running Magisk.
Just another A12 bug?
Is it just Sony's confusing mess? Opening the camera with the power button is a system setting while the shutter button is an application setting in Photo Pro and Cinema Pro. Maybe the Photo Pro has no background permission and can't see the button presses.
Ah, just figured it out. Turns out it was caused by me removing the camera shortcut from the lockscreen with XPERI+. Resetting the Right shortcut got the shutter button working properly again.
