remote "shutter release" for camera - Xperia Arc General

Okay, i have what will probably be a stumper/undoable but here goes:
on the newer iPhones, if you are in the camera app, you can use the headset controls to trigger the shutter so you can take pix with minimal contact/shake.
I'm wondering if this is possible with the Arc. I can confirm the wired stock headphones from the x10 don't do this. Any ideas if this is workable?

With "tasker" you can do this...

A little more detail would be very helpful

Right now I don't had headphones with buttons but download "tasker" in market. Setup camera trigger with headphone button and your ready to shoot.

You can trigger the camera to take photo when you are using the LiveSound HiFi Earpiece as there is a LiveKey function and you will need to download the LiveKey Camera App from the market.
With the LiveKey on the Livesound earpiece, you can configure it to perform other tasks as well like TrackID etc.

why don't you just try it yourself...?
audio comes out of the speaker just like any other media sound on the phone. you can use either one.
I meant is there a certain way to get it to come out of the speaker phone correctly. I tried the eq and audio stuff and nothing seems to work. I thought that maybe I was doing something wrong

what do you mean by "correctly"? are you expecting stereo sound to come out of a single speaker?
My best guess as to the OP's actual problem is that the phone is only outputting left or right of the stereo audio rather than joining both sides. If that is the case then yeah that needs fixing.

Having the same problem. All I get is background music and no dialogue. Not sure on a fix at the moment.
Yes..that is what im saying. I only get background sounds and no voices.

does it happen with all content or just specific ones? if it is just specific ones then it is most likely a netflix problem...not an atrix one.

no sound when video
Hi Folks !
Have you tried Skype w/video in your Atrix ?
Works Ok ?
I tried mine this morning, but when I start video, just hear noise and the other party seems to hear a lot of noise too...
The video works Ok, but kills audio...
When I make audio only calls, it works like a charm.
I see an update in the future

I second that. Made a call just now, the other person got feed back and noise.
Also, the video and whole skype interface is really not slick at all. Very laggy all round. I'll be sticking to Google Talk for now. Once they solve rhese issues i'll be happy and so will the other half as I can then Skype video her in the car instead!

how i hate those guys. this app is free...so there is no running version. that is the way of microsoft. it is really fantastic how a company like ms is not able to keep good software running.
so in my opinion there will be no finally. would like to use gtalk but lovly motorola do no want to oupdate the european atrix. great move too. a bit disciminating....the rest of the world has it, but there has to be a reason...because moto is great.
It's the same for me, video works great but audio is very noisy and doesn't work.

I'm very happy with the skype update for Atrix. All I can say is a big **** ya on the video quality! I have been using Google Talk/Qik since I got the phone but with horrible quality over the network and wifi...
I haven't had a issue with the sound on either end of the calls yet but I'll have to try the headphones next time maybe when I'm out somewhere or something.
So go skype... about damn time.

Did the sound test call without headphones and couldn't understand a word. With headphones the sound great.

Beats by Dre fix for Android/MyTouch 4G?
Everytime I connect the headphones the headset icon shows up but doesn't allow the mic to be used, nor volume control. Anybody know a fix for this for MT4G or maybe Android overall itself? Btw its Beats by Dre Solo if it matters.
Thanks.
Please let me know if anyone is able to fix this. I'm sure plenty of Android users could user this fix

Do you guys really think it has to the with the ROM? I'm most concerned with using the headset to speak with people. I can hear everything from the call but can't speak through the headset.

Cause beats suck go buy some klipsch or jbl's or Bose .... but from what I know about audio (which is a fair amount) look at the headphone cable from the beats if there are 3 rings then that means you have a microphone channel if not then your headphones don't have a mic. 1st ring is left channel 2nd is right and 3rd is mic

I keep forgetting just how damn good the One is at recording audio

Most phones blow out the sound when recording stuff that's super loud, but apparently not the HTC One. Sounds flippin' fantastic. Here's some nightclub videos I took last night:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8QdbQe--3k
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVW9B_tfri4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4Ac02Qb_qU
The videos quality itself is also fairly commendable considering the poor lighting there.
Very good indeed. I'll give it a shot myself...
I'm really pleased with the audio. I was in Disney world, recorded tons of videos of the rides and while really loud, sound is great and not distorted at all.

Don't forget only people who got their Ones early got the awesome HDR dual membrane microphone that makes this possible. Due to a court ruling HTC must begin shipping phones with a different microphone once they use up their existing stock of phones with the old microphone.

The Serial number will show when the phone was manufactured. So far, there has been no news of HTC running out of their stock yet, so we can safely assume anything made up til Mid-May will have the HDR mic.

Kind of right I think..I believe they are allowed to use the rest of the stock the bought from ST Microelectronics..Even if they weren't in new phones yet..
Sorry, yes I think that is more accurate.
Either way we don't know how good the replacement part will be. Might be very good, but hard to imagine being as good as the originally spec'ed part .. .

What a difference 1.5 years of phone technology makes...
Does anyone know if apps than the video camera can use the HDR audio capabilities? I tried to record our band rehearsing last Friday and it was just as distorted as on any other phone.
We play really loud, probably louder than the music in that club (we use earplugs) so maybe it was simply more than the HDR microphone could handle.
However, I used a 3rd party audio app (J4T), and now I'm wondering if it would have been better if I had shot a video using the stock camera instead.

Haven't seen this anywhere. Thats why I'm asking, if anyone lowkey knew. Because its a pain to record raw audio in a voice recorder and then to sync it with the video in an editor
If you want more control, guess you gave to go to another phone. LG G6 and LG V30 have manual microphone control : gain, wind cut, etc. That's the closest I guess.
