[Q] Camera Button (below volume keys) - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

New Sony Xperia Ion (LT28at) user here.
Anybody else having problems taking a picture with camera button on the side of the phone? (below the lock and volume buttons)
Mine will flash and then focus using the button. But will NOT take a picture. I tried changing the settings to use only the camera button on the side. It still doesnt work.
Any suggestions?

I had same trouble found out why it's setup to work as so
Half press for focus and full hard press for snap shot same for unlock direct to camera only half press hold to initiate camera and focus and full press and hold too unlock and immediately snap pic try that send thx it it works

Aebuttons and Camera

Hello.
Let me know if you can take a picture with a physical button can be the volume up. I tried to Aebuttons but I can not assign the role.
Can anyone help me? Thanks
Nope, tried this for an earlier thread on this theme and the buttons are not available.
Seems that, like the BT buttons, HTC has captured the button press directly when the camera app is running.
No volume buttons in the camera app are available to AEB+

There's two modes in the camera button. When you press it lightly, it'll focus. When you press it all the way to the bottom, it will take the picture.
Like a normal camera Don't be afraid to press harder!

Is there a way to take a picture using the volume button?

So basically what I'd like to be able to do is have a dedicated shutter button, i.e. the volume down button
However is it possible for the volume up and down button to function normally but when your in camera mode, it acts as a shutter button?
Thanks
The camera360 app has this function. But on stock app, I'm not sure if any mod has been made for it.

[Q] unable to screenshot

I just got my GN2 yesterday, and for some reason, I can't take a screenshot by pushing the power and the home buttons. I've never had an issues with my GN1, does anyone have this same problem or any advice?
Go to settings>s motion and check palm swipe to capture.
Simply swipe your hand over the screen and voila.

thanks, i've been doing that, but i preferred the button combo
anyway, i found that you need to simultaneously press home and power at the same time and hold it for about a second
it's odd, because on my GN1, as soon as you pressed it, it would screen shot.

I want to let camera button wake up phone and open camera

ARCS's camera button can't wake up phone and open camera.
This always let me feel bad.
Like TX Lt29i, I can press camera button to wake up phone then press it again to take a photo.
It is so convenience to press camera button twice and power button once.
Can some make camera button more useful?
If camera physical button can't do this job, why I need it?
I just open phone and open camera then take a photo without physical button.
Like the movie "hotel transylvania" that guy just press physical button.
When I saw it, I just want to know where I can buy it.
Every time using camera, I complain it that I waste 5sec to open phone and open camera.
If this camera button has its real function, I think it's be more better.
There is no way for make this. Most quick way is: Opening camera from lockscreen
There is no way for make this.
