is there a way to get the camera to take a photo by pressing the vol button?
When taking a snap of me and the lady its hard to click on the on-screen button.
Would like to know as well companies should always dedicate a shutter button..

Yeah, I was literally shocked when i got the device. Is there a button shortage in htc land.
I would love to know why they chose not to have one
I'm pretty sure this question has been addressed somewhere but I don't know if they got anywhere with it. My solution is to use a 3rd party camera app for those instances. There are a few that support the volume key as a shutter. Camera360, Camera ZOOM FX and Vignette are all capable of taking regular pictures using the volume. Just make sure you go through each ones settings to make sure its setup how you like. Vignette likes to take pictures with random effects until you tell it to stop on first startup for example.

I apologize if the answer to this is obvious. I tried searching the forums for an answer, and couldn't find anything.
What I'm wondering is whether there is a way to assign one of the volume buttons as the "take a picture" button for the camera. I'm rooted and running BAMF Remix 1.6. Thanks in advance.
Edit: Just found out that the volume buttons work as the zoom. So, what about using the power button?
I haven't used it personally, but there is an app named button remapper that might do the trick for you. Check the market for it.
Some third party camera apps let you use volume for snapping the picture also. I use the Vignette for that purpose.

I just checked out Vignette, and it's basically exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Cm7 has this built in

Does it? Sweet. I'm waiting on a stable CM build, though.
Try this: open camera, take a picture, and when pressing the back button to exit the camera put your ear close to the phone and can you hear a little "click"? I can hear it from my device, and as much as I can tell, it's mechanical, not from the system or any software.
This doesn't make sense unless there are moving parts associated with the camera hardware.
yes....i can hear it... and it was there in my DHD too... something related to camera lens hardware.....i feel so
I heard it in my previous phone too (SE Vivaz, piece of ****, but the camera was awesome! (Also 8 MP)) It's something with the camera hardware (probably)

Have you never used a non-mobilephone camera in your life? It's simply the camera adjusting focus, or rather resetting it when you close the app. Older phones can't do this, the Sensation can. There is effectively a mechanical movement.
It happened to my Dell streak too. It 's not a problem I think.

Its the auto-focus relaxing
Happens on all HTC devices since the diamond
hello everyone.
i'm an x10 user and i'm planning to buy a sensation this sunday.
about the sound u hear is due to the camera auto focus relaxing and i have the same thing on my x 10. try getting someting hard to focus on with the phone'c camera and u may hear it trying to fucus and sometimes feel it as in my x10.
cheers

Hi is anybody elese having problems with the camera in macro or auto focus. In that it will focus then go out of focus when you press the shutter button. So far it is just 8mp of digital rubbish. If this is the best it's going to get I am going back to my HD2 because so far I am far from impressed with it. HTC stop playing worm and leave apple alone and sort this device out.

I would imagine the DOF (depth of field) is very small and the slightest moment would make you're subject out of focus.

Maybe but the strange thing is if I get in in the right position and just tap the shutter button it will hold it, again not ideal. I use the camera to take pictures of small QR codes located on electronic assemblies.

I find that if I uncheck auto-focus especially on macro shots, it focuses better if you tap screen to focus.
Thanks, that is a whole lot better.

Folks, I've a question.
Am I the only one who misses the good old days when phones used to have proper hardware camera keys on upper right corner (in landscape) where they're supposed to be?
I've searched and searched but can't find the reason or inspiration to get rid of that. Is it just that we're going towards a fully mechanical keyless device evolution?
Not happy about that!
What do poeple think?
My sidekick 4g has one and it came out only a year or two ago.

That's an exception
Most HTCs are without it.
And my 10 posts are up. I can now post in dev threads.
Xperia S came in March and it have it.

My G2 has one and it is very useful, but just recently flashed a rom that has touch to focus and lately haven't use the hardware button that much, the one x, s, and galaxy s3 will have the option of taking pictures while shooting video so there is an excuse of not having the button
Atrix doesn't but atrix 2 does. I like camera buttons. It feels much more like a camera.

Amaze has one as well. But I'm also frustrated that they seem to be doing away with it.

My Droid had one. My current Droid x has one. My upcoming razr maxx has one.

Sorry to piss in your puddle but the Maxx doesn't have a physical camera button.

Seems kind of pointless to have a hardware camera key these days. Because of the touch screen. And also the size of my One X plays a big role in that too.

You bastard! ooh well. I thought the review I watched showed one. Thanks.
My Dell Venue too has a hardware button
If you still have buttons on your phone you can remap them to be the camera key.

Rather than having a specific camera key (after all, not everyone uses the camera) it would be more useful to have one or two wakeup keys, for which the user can target whichever apps he wants.
There are MODS for that. Example: HERE for Droid Charge.
sony xperia pro, not even a hardware camera key, also hardware keyboard. Feel's so good when you can actually USE the display, and don't have to use half of it for onscreen keyboard.
I use to like using the hardware camera button on my G2, but for some reason when I do use it the picture comes out blurry due to the force needed to depress the button. I found it much easier to use the touch screen to take the picture. But that's probably user error? I'm hopeful.....
SE Xepria X10a- Has one
Samsung Captivate (i897)- Nope
Motorola Atrix 2- Has one
HTC Vivid- Nope
But I do miss the actual hardware key, though touching the screen to focus is cool, somewhat miss that "click" feeling.....
I wouldn't mind a hardware key. It makes it a lot easier to open the camera quickly from any app which is good if you only have a few seconds to capture a shot.
Sent from my VS920 4G using XDA
imho
in my opinion when the screen gets bigger and the phone has less hardware buttons, like the new one x it is more than useful to have a f'king camera button.
thats the thing i really like on the windows phone 7 phones and missing on the android side.
hi,
is there any camera mod or app ... to take pictures with the power button?
htc sensation z710e
If your on a vipers Rom there is an option to use volume buttons to take pictures. And on albinoman887 jellybean Rom there is the option to take pictures with the power button I believe unless I'm thinkig of a different Rom. I'm not sure. I would check for you but I myself am back.to gingerbread for the amaze camera mod. And I wouldn't mind if there was a button mod for myself but I doubt it.
Btw what Rom are you on?

Yes the quality of pictures is much better IMO but what I like the most is how good the focus is (macro mode) but yh the amaze mod doesn't include what your looking for either (power button shooter) but like I said if you want to try albinoman887's Rom instead or ask in that thread someone should be able to answer for you. I am 98% sure it has the option to shoot pics from power button but my memory isn't serving me well. If you'd like to stay on ARHD 7.2 then I'm sorry I can't help you as I don't know of any mod for this Rom. I myself am looking for this mod but for ARHD 4.1.13. Hope someone is able to help you.
