I see alot of reviews/ people complain how there is no camera button on this phone.
There is!
all you have to do is hold down the push to talk button and you get "camera!"
you press it once, you get "push to talk"
so there you go, you can use camera without having to click things on the phone.
Damn if it aint so! Nice post
Doesnt work on my Fuze

@ tjlikes, you have to map it via start>settings>buttons.

Actually, not mappable. Fuze hardcodes this button to PTT. Other roms re-map. Mine (running Da_G currently) still doesn't show the PTT button in button manager, but press=MSVC and hold=camera.

Well, lookey here, leaving the thread open uncovered something interesting: Different ROMs treat this button differently.

If I remember right Fuze does hardcode the button press to PTT (obviously), but the button manager did have an option to reassign the long press in the stock rom to whatever.
I never checked myself; I left the stock AT&T rom on long enough to mutter "POS as usual" then loaded up hardSPL....
I never used the stock rom for more then 20 mins, so i do not know.
i used the NATF 3.1 rightnow, and it works about 10x as good as teh NATF 2.3
however i notice the speaker volume is a bit low now.

Have you ever wondered what an AT&T tilt looks like after an explosion? Heres the pics, try to guess what happened. and what part is what!
Not for the squeamish or faint of heart.
(and for the record no i did not do this on purpose.)
oh and taken with my TD2, gotta love that camera on it!
Wow!!
How that happened?
Impresive pics

Part: Screen Maybe or the Battery...did you try and load WinMo 6.5 on it ?..lol
Definately looks blasted Don't think the warrenty will cover it
I'm gonna guess: Science lab accident? I've set the science room on fire a few times myself, so I know it's not that difficult.

So I guess a warranty exchange is out of the question then?
@ hadimassa, no not this time, it was Achmed the Dead terrorist...
Actually it was run over with a lawnmower.
Dude that unlucky! tell me have insurance?

your right sorry i must of missed that.
no worries... Just hold the power button + camera button and with the stylus press and hold the soft-reset button, this will ask you if you want to hard reset your device, press the green answer button, let it do its work and you'll be good as new!
haha, thats intense! please go to an At&t service repair center with a hidden camera and attempt a warranty exchange!
This may seem like something small to some but this is a huge feature in this phone that I was not aware of and noticed a lot of people I knew were not aware of.
With our infuse if you are watching a video you can press the power button on the side of the phone and it will lock the screen completely, you can't hit the menu or hit home by accident or anything. I have 3 kids and I couldn't tell you how many times they "accidently' backed out of the video player and either moved apps around or called people or what. So if this helps even 1 other person it was worth it. Enjoy!!!
thanks for the tip!
but dont try this if you watching porno, you cant turn down the volume or go back to home screen quickly. haha

What an awesome find! Thank you. How many times haven't I handed my Infuse over to show a video and something gets pushed in the hand off?!?!
Thanks for the great tip. One thing I found though is this works with the standard video player but not with Real Player.
This also works while video recording btw.

It also works on the camera. I dont understand why though. If you have the camera open, why would you want to lock the screen so it stays there keeping the screen on. Im sure theres a good reason, im just not aware of it
now i wish they would add like double tap the power button would like it at anytime. Like when your playing a game or browsing so you don't "accidently" send yourself home like I do all the time lol. But this is a start
Hey guys,
Stock ROMs are my favorites; they bring stable experience for daily basis except for the ultra speed. (but stable means the most for me sometimes)
I used to root my previous phone only for some simple purpose, screenshots for example; then a few days ago I found a trick (from a forum written in Chinese, http://bbs.gfan.com/android-3345443-1-1.html) to do this without root permission.
Just press Power/Lock + Menu key (at the bottom left), the sticky note app will show up with an instant screenshot. Save it and you will get the screenshot in your /sdcard/quicknote/snapshot/ directory.
Hopefully this trick could help you out.
Note:
I've tested this on ME865, the Atrix 2, Asian Pacific version.
Other versions and models may not applied for this shortcut... sorry that I didn't noticed this before
Great! Thank you!
U sure this works on the a2?

I tried this several different ways and I was unable to duplicate this on the MB865, I am guessing this only works on the ME865.
Thanks anyhow though.

Same here...
However if you do want a good free no-root-necessary (on the A2 at least) then get Screen Grabber... by default it is set to use root but it works when you uncheck the "use root" option.

Did not work for me either, however as stated above, ScreenGrabber works great.

Sorry for my mistake, I confirm this shortcut works on ME, but not tested on MB.
I'm using an Asian Pacific ME865 device sales at Hong Kong.
Thats it. To capture screenshot, you need to do three combination keys.
Press "power on/lock + vol down + camera button". Hold three keys for 3 sec.
Tested on atrix 2 ics.
Y is this necessary.? We have stock screenshot capability right! Just hold power and volume down key together for 3-4 sec.!

Did either of you look at the dates of the original posts... almost a year ago now. Did you not think that things were different on 2.3.6 than they are in ICS now?
Please think and read thoroughly before posting or replying, including when and why someone might have posted something. I understand both of you are noobs, so consider this your first little slap on the wrist.
Be glad it was I that did this, as others may not be so nice in the future. We are a good group here, but not reading and making posts that are not well thought out or just plain not researching will get you things you do not want in here.
--EDIT--
Oh and by the way, Welcome to our little slice of XDA!!!
I am one of your devs in here, and I am sure you will see a lot of me.

welcome to the A2 community !
Yup in ICS we use just the power key + volume down key combination to take a screenshot
BTW do read the links posted by jim above.. theyre quite helpful, and just to let you know, some of old posts are related to GB, so do watch out for that post date before you reply to anything, can get very confusing otherwise.
Anyways, good to see a walking dead fan here :good:

Hi
I wonder if there is a way to configure the volume side button to light the screen instead of the power button or do I just have to wait until natural evolution lengthen my pointing finger
Many thanks

I'm sure someone could make a MOD for rooted ROMs that'll do this. I've never seen anyone request this before, so I'm not sure how much luck you'll have getting that done unless you dev it yourself.
If I had short fingers, I definitely wouldn't have bought this phone, but using the power button isn't a problem for me.

I had to thank you for making me laugh! I don't mind where the power button is personally, just how it's implemented. It's angled forward, your finger reaches from the back which is what makes it difficult to push for me. I would have much rather preferred it be flat or angled towards the back.
Edit: I loved the power button on my Atrix, it was very easy and natural to me.

I'd like to see this mod too. I find the power button a bit hard to reach/push at times. It probably won't be a quick fix, but I'll do some digging.

It's actually a very common request/mod. CM7 ROMs have an option for it as well as some apps, like WidgetLocker, that have an option for it called "Easy Wake". Unfortunately, I haven't found an app that allows for it to work on the One X yet.

I didnt like the angle of the Atrix's power button bc it made me pick the phone up from my desk to wake it up, but i did like how it was recessed a little not to mention that the fingerprint scanner was one of the most useful features i've ever found on a phone. seriously.
There is an app called Button Remapper that does this (I use it on my Evo 4G). I'm not sure if it will work on the One X, I don't have mine yet.
