Assign camera button

Hello all,
I was just wandering...... From all the developers here, does anyone think if its possible to use the lock button while in camera mode to shoot pictures.
It really seams useless to lock the screen while in camera mode......
I've been quite impressed with all the great work you all put into developing this phone into even better device.
Let me know what you thing about that.
Thank you in advance.

Genius button slow reaction time ?

Am I the only one with this issue ? After I press the genius button the app pops up but it takes a while until it starts listening...and with this phone I expect little to no lagg...

I have the same problem.

Mine became much quicker when I deleted its app data. However lag crept back in.

mine seems to lag, with a message says loading contacts. I feel that should be a background load instead of stopping the app temporarily

I would think it would only load contacts once..but. mine did it a few times in a row and sometimes not at all......
So I wonder what's up with the genius button ?
Why does it lag on such great hArdware ?

I have the same issue. Takes about 15 seconds on mine ven overclocked to 1.3mhz

Turn load contacts to manual just remember to update when you add new contacts

Fine. But the lag is present even before the contact database update begins.

After hitting the genius button I have about a one second delay before it says listening. Which is not really a big deal

Yeah, it happens to all of us. It's annoying, too, because the Genius Button is almost always wrong in understanding voice commands. When using the stock Google Voice Actions, I have a margin of error of like 10%. Using Dragon's engine, I'm accidentally calling phones 75% of the time. :/
I wish they'd just give us the option to toggle between Genius / normal Search.

If you do the Re-Map genius button mod you can.
Just LONG PRESS to use normal voice search.

LancherPro Shortcut to Camcorder

Don't shoot me if u allready know or allready posted somewhere else on XDA
On homescreen long press screen and select Shortcuts( or menu>add>shortcuts)
Select activities, sweep to Camera>expand and select camcorder. Et Voila! A direct shortcut to camcorder without starting the cam first.
Feel free to explore other hidden com.google activities without other 3rd party apps

nice one.
I use the recorder alot so this is sweet.

Not bad. I have set up a dock for the camera, gallery and camcorder to easily get to in LP. Hopefully use camcorder more often.

Very nice!!
I use Camera360 for taking pictures but always hated to have the original Galaxy S camera icon on my homescreen as well in case i want to shoot a video.
With this neat little trick i have a special videocamera icon + it´s a great time safer. THANX!!

Thanks for this useful tip.

Camera Trouble

Greetings All,
Is it just me or is anyone else having camera trouble. I have the stock ROM, haven't rooted yet, and I notice the phone will hang after I snap a pic or when I attempt to view the pic in the Gallery. I mean it will really hang.
I usually have to shut the phone down and restart it. Or I back out of the camera program all together and try to relaunch it.
Am I the only one?

never hear of that problem until just now, after reading your message
we've seen all kind of other color off related issues with the camera, but not causing the phone to hang
did you try another camera software to see if it does the same?
try Camera 360 for example

Also have not heard of this issue. What does camera 360 do?

Storage MENU

Saw a strange thing in my Nexus 7(8 GB) today. When I go into Settings -> Storage, and then click on the 'Pictures, Videos' button, it opens up the Gallery, but the entire screen is blank (black) and no pictures or videos show up, despite waiting. If, however, I go to the Gallery app directly, it loads all my applications absolutely fine. Is this something that others have seen/ are seeing in their tablets as well?
Sorry if this question has already been asked before. I tried searching for it but couldn't find anything.

My N7 is being replaced, but i think this works. Once in gallery thru storage menu press settings>make available offline (or similar), pin the ones you want and then retry (you may have to restart the device). Confused the hell outta me for ages!
