The Xperia 1 camera button is not taking photos - Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
just got the grey version, really loving the body colour!!!
I tried to press the camera button (even at locked screen mode),
it has no problem, just hold long enough like 1 second.
however the problem is when the camera is launched, the button seems not working at any sense for 1 minute.
even i long press it.
it will not focus or do anything at all. I can only press the screen button (the circle white button on the right) to take photos.
Is it normal?
I have already reset the camera setting once, and issues stays.
Does it happen to you too?

Not normal. May be a hw issue.

I have this issue too, don't think it's a HW problem because it's opening camera.

There is a setting for camera key in camera settings. Off, launch only or launch/capture

I can find this option, but my question is when camera is launched, the button should be able to take photos, but it just not working for 10 or more seconds.
(1 minute may be a bit exaggerated.)

Something is up. Mine immediately takes the picture when pressed.

It confirmed with software defect.
exchange another xperia immediately.

did you try a reboot? it's also possible that an app is the cause
of course i tried reboot, how do you mean an app is a cause
am using launcher pro, 3d gallery, nothing specific

Keep the button pressed until the phone vibrates. I was scared it didn't work but I think they only changed the way you open up the camera, you gotta keep the button pressed for about a second.
It works dude
Hold it for abit longer. 3 secs and it should start
Camera button doesnt work here on pro 2.1 nordic no matter how long its held.
thread up!
so are we gonna show sony ericsson this bug
am using nordic firmware too
Got the button working. Maybe because i didn't have a camera app set as default it didn't work. But it doesn't work with keypad lock on, and takes 5 seconds to start.
how do you mean by that, what did you do to make it work?
i seem to remember on 1.6 you just had to hold it for a few seconds on the first click now you need to push harder and get it to hit the second click.
Yes you need to to push it harder, on the second click\focus.
Dont know if no default camera app was the problem, but selected camera in 3d galklery and that popped up the box to choose which camera app, selected the stock one and ticked of always.
But its just too slow, also it should work when the keypad lock is on. Now its just faster to select it by icon as any other app.

Weird accelerometer problem(s)

The accelerometer on my Razr Maxx works promptly and perfectly except under two conditions. The first -- if I'm lying down, say on a couch or in bed, and holding the device over my head facing down. In this position the device will almost immediately shut off over and over. It won't reboot, just shut down. I can always restart it the same way I would from any "sleep". I can get the device to stay on merely by rotating it to face "up" no matter whether I change position or location or run or do not run any particular application. Is this common? Is it by design for some reason? The second -- if I have Button Savior installed, the Maxx accelerometer will work but there will be a significant delay in responding. Like 15-30 seconds delay! No Button Savior - no delay. Install Button Savior - delay. Uninstall Button Savior again - no delay. This troubles me as I really like Button Savior even on devices that have "hard" buttons. Having these controls right under my thumb is the fastest way to navigate, for me. Button Savior (updated) works perfectly for me on other Android phones, on my rooted Nook Color (CM7), even on my rooted Nook Touch. Any cures for either ill?
Hi
The accelerometer issue... does this happens from the first day you bought it? I trying searching similar issues, could not find anything. I am almost sure it is physical defect of some kind, you should probably take it back for replacement.
I don't know if the accelerometer issue related to Button Savior began when I first installed the app (as opposed to coming from a particular app update, for instance) as it took a long process of elimination to find the connection. As to the "upside down" issue I believe it has always done that. However -- it only does it if I TURN ON the device while it is upside down. If I start using it facing up, say watching a video, and then turn it upside down the video continues to play flawlessly. Bizarre!
I know there is an option to use the light sensor to detect when your phone is in your pocket, and turn off. Maybe it's on on your phone, and it's detecting lower light when you flip it over and shutting the screen off?
ok, so i misunderstood the issue, i thought the phone turns off completely...
if it only goes into "silent" or "lock" mode... maybe you installed some kind of app that does that when you flip? or maybe your player has one of those settings? like... say you are in a meeting, with your phone on the table, it rings... you just flip it and it goes silent.... some android build have that as a default setting already...
here, check this so u understand better what i mean :

tried updating yet? i had the same problems prior to the 65.1.40 update

[Q] Camera button.

I'm used to my Nokia 808 which allows for the Camera button to jump directly to Camera mode even when the phone is locked. With the S4 Zoom I have to hit power once, swipe then long press camera button. I was wondering if anyone has figured out a way to assign the Camera button to launch Camera app even when locked? I'm sure there must be a button app out there than can be mapped to do this?
ANyone?
Cheers,
Dunker
Haven't heard about this. The fastest way is setting a camera shortcut on lockscreen.

there is an option when you swipe the lockscreen the camera open automatic.

I saw that option, but it's not really ideal, sometimes I just want to use the phone as a phone and not a camera, closing down camera everytime is annoying.
The Nokia 808 worked by long press on camera button and straight to camera (even if locked), or you could swipe screen etc and use the phone like a phone. This was ideal for all circumstances.
Right now I have set to have no lock screen and then just hit the power button once and then long press of camera to get going, but I would prefer just to set the camera shutter button to launch Camera at any time (other than device being powered off).
Perhaps there is a button remapping app?
Spooky!
I had the same thought this afternoon - not actually sure why, was just in an idle moment!
It would be a good and sensible option to have but I've got no answer, other than to have a link on your home screen or just long press the camera button after inputting your PIN code.

I just bought the official Galaxy S4 Zoom case. It has one of those screen flip covers. I noticed when you pull the flip back to access the phone it automatically comes on, therefore once you press the camera button after this yer straight in.
Now i don't know how the flip cover works, whether it's like slightly magnetic and sends a signal etc, but this idea dawned on me...
If you had a simply cheap silicone case (or a screen protector) and had yer S4Z facing down on the desk, when you picked it up and turned it over it would automatically come on, then you press the camera button to launch the camera. That might work. Of course if it's in your pocket then that might not work...
Unfortunately the official case obscures the battery compartment and microsdcard slot, but worst of all the tripod mount! I could live with the others being covered but not the tripod mount. I'm going to attempt to drill a hole in the right location for the tripod mount... wish me luck!

Camera app lags a lot

This is an unmodded phone, just to start off quickly. I take pretty good care of my phone. However, the camera app on this is super slow and frustrating.
When I activate the camera from sleep mode either by double tapping the volume key or use the lock screen camera icon, the app launches, but it takes anywhere from 10 - 15 seconds for the shutter button to be active and start taking photos. This is in all auto and manual modes.
I've missed a lot of moments that I couldn't capture, because I'm waiting for the app to do whatever it's doing and then start working. But even after the button is active, I press it and it stalls and then takes the photo. I've tried rebooting and even go through my phone for running apps that could possibly slow it down, but I just get general push notifications and emails. No heavy apps running in the background.
Any ideas how to get around, or resolve this issue?
Thank you.
Have the exact same issue. Rebooting helps a LITTLE but often still 5-10 seconds of lag, which can result in completely missing the shot. Searched around a bit, no one seems to have a solution for it that I can tell.
So annoying! I'm going to write to LG about it, because it's BS that they don't fix this software issue, and I shouldn't have to buy a new phone for a camera app.

Camera Photos randomly not saved!!!

Using my Lg v30 on stock v21h EUR (issue exists since Two firmware updates!)
After i take a Picture with the stock camera, it is not saved to the device. A reboot or using a different galery app is not solving the problem.
At the beginning i thought I forgot to take. The picture... But the problem Exists! Even a friend has exactly the same issue. I cannot say when it happens. Its totally randomly.
Foubd nothing abiut thid problem in the internet. Only that the v20 had similar problems.
Anyone else out there with this camera behaviour?
It happens to me sometimes as well, but I think I pinned down the situation when it happens: When I use the quick launch action (double press vol-down) from a locked screen, snap a photo, then turn off the screen before I see the photo preview appear. If I remember to wait to see the photo appear it always saves the photo.
