Disable auto focus? - HTC One S

Hi, I'm using the HTC One S S4 and was wondering if there was any way to disable auto focus?

Easy:
Settings (in camera app) > Camera Options > uncheck Auto focus.

My HTC One S doesn't have auto focus in the settings and yes I'm positive I have went through the entire settings of the phone

I don't get the question. You have auto focus and touch focus...what other option did you want...its a phone camera after all, not a dslr.

What do you mean, you don't have?
One S camera has auto focus and that is that, you can turn it on or off and that's it.

Not to be a prick but if you don't read what I'm saying then read again. There is nothing in my settings about auto focus.

Weird, neither do I! I'm on Axiom 1.5. Itsmileramsay added the camera mod from the development section, maybe that's it.

Not to be a prick, but that is totally not the question you asked in the OP.

Yeah I've not got auto focus option either I'd like to be able to turn it off for video recording.

Running Sense 4.0.3 and neither do I.. it's really frustrating, I would love to have AF off for once.

How would you focus then? It's not like there's a lens to adjust.

Trickdroid Rom has the autofocus option. Im not sure if its part of sense or a mod but i know that the autofocus option is not available in the stock Rom.

Because when you turn off auto focus it puts the lens into a wide fixed focus so everything but really close like macro shots are clear without messing about.

You tap your screen. Disabling AF is exactly like on DSLR-s, but instead of moving the focus ring you tap on your screen where you want to focus. It's somewhat weird that this feature can not be turned off, because sometimes it's really dumb and focuses god knows where.
I think that AF is not the correct name here, but you get my point. I want to choose my own focus point and disable the camera from changing it as it pleases.

Power button to hang up?

On my last two phones there was an option in the accessibility settings to hang up using the power button. But I haven't seen that option in the stock or a custom ROM yet. Is there an app for that or am I missing something? Sorry if this is in the wrong spot.

I'd like to know if there is a solution for this as well. I've almost been caught in some strange situations where I pressed the power button to hang up but obviously on the Sensation the call keeps going.
What phone does that?
Cm7 has this as default and can not be changed from my understanding. I personally do not like this option because it forces the screen to stay on and eat battery. For this reason I switched back to sense adhd.

Didn't remember that on my n1
Its a stock android option. Would really like it to be ported somehow to sense also. I'm not of cm so I won't be flashing it just for that feature but if you all like vanilla android then maybe that's your answer.

any solution for this?
Haven't seen any in any sense roms. Just the aosp/cm7 roms. It would be awesome if someone could add it as a tweak or addon.

I don't know what your setup is, but you may want to post this in your rom's thread to see if others experience the same...

You sure you're not covering the light sensor with your finger while on landscape mode?

I actually had this happen to me earlier today, I'm running the new CoinDroid and after I watched a youtube video my screen brightness went all the way down.

Same thing happens to me on the most popular ROMs too. No workarounds at the moment.
I believe is a bug within the YouTube app

Yeah i think so its the app itself can't wait for it to be fixed :!

Any way to turn off Capacitive light on the HTC Sensation?

Hey guys, I want to turn off Capacitive light for my Sensation. It drains battery, and I think it makes the CPU hotter or it runs hot itself. Just a guess. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I see that you have already reposted this question in the Sensation forum, so please click on the little report triangle in the first post here and request that a mod close this thread, then click on the dropdown box and choose Thread/Post maintenance, then submit. Thank you.
I would also suggest that you read these two threads:

Sorry man. I'm new to the forums I think I know how this works now. I've been using XDA for a while and I decided to sign up. It's just that the app on android is painfully confusing and hard to use.

No problem, I understand. You can't report using the app, only through the browser, so I will request it for you.

If you leave the screen on and don't touch it, that's long it takes to turn the screen of automatically

Oh, I should've read more carefully lol. I'd assume based on battery level, brightness, if you're watching a video etc. Anyone more knowledgeable than myself know?
