Hey guys, only got the phone a week or so ago. Just goes to show how often I do use the camera button. Although I might not use it all the time, I would still like the button to work. Especially if I want to take pictures on the rain or underwater.
So basically the camera button does not take the picture but it does focus. Also camera does not open when you press the button. So basically it's stuck to the point where it's pressed halfway. Anyone else have this problem?
Anyone can help?
Do you have this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3312043
maybe button is somehow broken, i would take to waranty and see...

I had the same issue last december and Sony replaced my phone in a week.
It happens, nothing serious but ask for warranty
Got the same problem, yesterday on my new phone.
It's stock and lb.
Latest firmware, no case.
It focuses, everything works.
But takes no pictures.
Tried everything.
Damm I'm really mad.

Does anybody know how to change camera settings for good? I am interested mainly in videos and everytime when I turn on the camera application I have to go the settings and disable Sony Steady Shot (I am using Gimball) - it always starts up with a default settings.

Wait, is there no camera at all or is it just that the LG camera app is not there? This may make me think twice about installing the update.

I registered just to ask this question, but do you mean that if I updated with the new Gingerbread update and did a factory reset then the LG Camera would be there?

No there is NO LG Camera app. Even after you do factory reset.
If some one would make a backup of the camera app and then post the apk that would be great

It really frosts my rear when I go to the T-mobile website and I see they are showing the new Mytouch 4g Slide with the "most advanced camera on any smartphone." And here I am with arguably the worst camera available on any smartphone (the AOSP GB camera, not the LG froyo camera).
I'm going to keep my fingers crossed and hope that they have something in the works to provide us with the proper camera some point in the not-too-far future.

I am waiting for the jury on this, is there a way to keep the phone LG photo app.....or put it back....after doing the GB update.
One guy said it comes back after a hard reset after the update....but others say that is a no go.
I want to avoid buying an app for the camera function, which I will need to do if its going to be just the stock Android.
Seems LG could release an update to replace it....no?
Right now the consensus seems to be if you do the GB update you lose the LG camera app, and it does not come back by doing hard resets.
TIA
I actulice and I still see the camera application.
Yes, you lose the LG camera application; that doesn't mean that there is no camera application. It's just not the one that came stock with the phone, and it's not as nice. For example, there's no "switch camera" button -- you can only take photos and videos with the rear-facing camera, not the front-facing camera.
I'm not a very big user of the camera, so I imagine this one will probably be sufficient for my needs until the final update comes out.

I wouldn't count on LG releasing an update for that. They didn't even ever release an update to fix the small email signature bug, so I doubt they'll get around to a whole camera app.
The only good thing that comes out of this is the stock Android camera does 128K audio vs. the 64K audio of the LG camera. Oh, and we can finally keep the geolocation turned on instead of needing to manually turn it on every time. Same maximum qualities otherwise, but almost no control over anything else and the zoom is not controlled with the volume controls.
if you dont like it and if it's possible please phandroid back to what you were using before. we finally get SOMETHING, proof of LIFE on this thing so please...quit your *****ing all will be well. lg does seem to intend to right their wrong.
I will be avoiding threads with titles such as this one like the plague because although I was one to be disgruntled too over this phone I at least can recognize progress when I see it

Oops, my bad; that mountain icon in the lower left is the "switch camera" button. That graphic just didn't communicate to me at all; I assumed it was the control for "focus mode" or some such. Sorry for the noise.
anyone know how to make the gb camera screen lighter? mine is so dark. I do love the update and I have had no problems what so ever. But the dark camera screen.

Try to reset the watch. Cut the BT on the phone so it doesn't start pairing, go into the tools on the watch and chose reset.
Put the watch off and now delete pairing on the phone and reboot it to be sure the watch is no longer paired.
Now start the pairing process all over.
Hope this helps

If it works fine with your wife's s4 than its not the problem with the watch.
Its the problem on your phone with smartwatch 2 app.
Try to delete data and reinstall app on phone, delete pairing and reset watch and start again.

Yeah, hopefully mine will be picked up today, but I'm told it may be up to 14 days for replacement. And they kept talking about repair when talking on the phone when it was DOA, hopefully they took on board that it just needs replaced...

Has anyone had any experience at filming stills or video, underwater with any of the z series xperia phones.
When I tried filming underwater with my z3, the touch screen didn't seem to like the water and kept exiting the camera app.
Is there a way of locking the screen or a setting I've missed to stop the screen being activated by the water?
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
There is a small app called touch block that stops the water activating the touch screen.
Ah OK thanks for that pal.
Sorry if I'm being stupid but I only seem to be able to turn the touch block on before taking a video or pic. So while it's activated I can't take a pic or video. Do I use the camera button on the side of the phone.?
Sent from my D6603 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes. Use that button on side.

Check the settings of the camera app - there is an option to lock the touchscreen.
A very complicated way to use things. It's sad that in the process of making such an incredible phone they have missed out serious user elements. But then again, thats why they allow rooting.

It's a waterproof phone but it's not an underwater phone in the first place. Yeah, the process is cumbersome but at least it's there. I don't think this is meant to be used on a daily basis.

Jesus some people will complain about anything!
The touchscreen doesn't work underwater so they created a touch-lock feature and provided a hardware shutter button. How are you still moaning? How often are you taking underwater photos and videos for this to be genuinely 'cumbersome'?
In any case a physical camera button is much better for taking photos generally anyway
It's a great feature but not sure I'll ever use it under water...
The only water I go in is my bath, and other then take photos of my sausage, I couldn't think of nothing else to photograph! :good:

Hello guys, just got my Z3 for christmas and I'm loving it, but there is one problem that is really annoying me.
When I try to take a photo with flash ON in snapchat, (only regular camera, not front), the photo gets blurry as hell. It focuses before it takes the photo, but it seems to capture the photo at the wrong moment/time.
So it kind of captures the photo right before/after the photo is at focus. This way it gets blurry as hell. This does NOT happen without the flash, or with the front camera.
And this is only in snapchat, not the stock camera app. Is this a phone related problem or a problem with snapchat? Anyone else heard of it? I tried to google it, but didn't find anything similar.
Is there anything I can do? I have tried reporting this to snapchat, but I'm not receiving any answer.
Thanks in advance!
Happens on every phone I've had with snapchat...

Thats a pretty good idea, thanks. It says my snapchat account might get banned for using third party software, though..
Does anyone know if this is a common problem? Ive never heard of it or seen it before. I really hope this gets fixed soon, if its a software related problem. Really annoying..

It's not a phone specific problem. Happened on my M7, M8, Moto X and my Z3. Report it to Snapchat...
Did anyone find a solution for this? It is happening on my Sony xperia Z3+ as well. Only happens with back facing camera when flash is used. If flash it not used, it turns out fine.
Galaxy S7 screen not responding to touch sometimes. The bottom portion of the display is affected. I tried 6 different S7 and all of them have the same problem, test yours like this and tap gently not hard, when you press hard you press 3mm on the screen and that is a lot ! The problem is worse when the phone is cold (20C) This is annoying because the place where its not working is the same place where the space bar is and the "." Does anyone else have that exact problem? Here is a video of the problem : https://youtu.be/OW_FQBMcuOE
IMPORTANT !
Install Phone INFO app (green adroid logo) see when the phone is manufactured, mine is 2016.02.18 ! maybe the first batch of the production have that problem! We might be on something here!!!
There are two threads already open with this situation.
I have this problem at the same location you demonstrate. The right side has this problem too. From bottom right to the top 1 cm and 2 or 3 cm up you are going to reproduce the same thing.
I get used to it but it is very annoying. Never liked Samsung because of this things. They use low quality material all around. I will never trust them.

Just received H9 update and the release notes did not mention anything about LCD, touch screen or anything related to it.
But since the update, I've been trying to reproduce the problem trying to find the blind spots and for my surprise I did not find anything. The touchscreen is perfect and I can feel it is more sensitive.
Before the update I could reproduce the problem very easy! Now it is perfect.
The update here in my region (Brazil - ZTO) was about 170MB. Samsung Cloud was introduced.
Wow, mine was manufactured 2 weeks ago (2016.08.16) and I've owned it since about the 24th too, so it was 8 days old when I received it
