Just realised something pressing down the camera key and home button together when the screen is off activates the camera similar to the Xperia S saving you even more time then having to slide the camera key. Pressing the camera key on its own doesn't, but good to see Sony gave it to arc users
thought I'd share
Does it work on the beta too? I can't try it because my current ROM has camera button for wake enabled...

Fast capture is shooting photo in "blind mode" and you're just turning on camera ; d but still good though.
Thanks for the info! I didn't know that this existed
You don't need to press both buttons together. Just press the home button first to wake device and then press the camera key.

Yup and this works when you are in any app I guess.Hard press camera key & camera will be on & other app will be minimized useful feature tbh

Yes I know, but its quicker to do that then press them separately in two stages and is less like the fast capture on the XS then
I didn't knew that!
Thanks!

I aint sure if this can help..but in case go to menu > system > personal > buttons and change it from there
the Standy button isn't a normal hardkey.
therefore it can't be reassigned i think.

yep u r right
I'd suggest you assign the Camera button as "ok" that way the camera won't launch if you hit it by mistake. It just means you'll have to use an on-screen shortcut to start the camera. Once the camera is open, the button will function as normal.

Okay... Thanks for the tip! Think i'll go that way... Still better than always shutting down the cam...
as we fix it?
My hardkey is change!
the error is the conection, the keyboard and the motherboard of phone
My HTC work!!!
I have changed camera button by the same reason. I changed this button configuration in Start>Configuration>Buttons and I assigned <Today> to Button1 (camera button) After that i put camera link in Start Menu Start>Configuration>Menus just check camera, maybe you shuld uncheck any other one before check it.
My WM is in spanish so sorry if locations are not exactly or have a different/similar name.
hi all is it possible to make the camera boot and take pictures with the volume up hardware button, i find my self not needing the volume keys so this would make taking pictures easier for me
thanks all
You can even assign different functions to the volume keys, e.g. single press for volume up, long press for camera, with AEButton Plus.
ok will give this go does this app allow taking pictures while in the app? or just bootup app
If you assign the 'enter key' function to a volume key as well, you can also take pictures.
E.g. long press to launch camera, sinlge press for taking the picture (if you don't need the volume up function) OR long press for camera, double press for volume up and single press for taking the picture OR any other configuration you like

ok im not quiet understanding matey please bare with me, ive assigned the long press fuction on the volume up button to booting the camera app,
and then selected the single tap on the volume up button and set it to "press enter" this did not allow me to take a picture, did u mean something else?
thankyou
edit the press enter function i assigned to the volume key works in say file explorer by opening and installing cabs e.c.t

does the hd have a ok/enter button in which it take pictures as the hd2 doesn't its all screen based
is this correct
No, the HD has no dedicated button as well. It's strange that pressing enter on the HD works but not on the HD2. Are you sure that it doesn't work on the HD2?

Which buttons exactly. It does not work for windows button. For home and back it does not work for single press (aka always default option). In regards of home and back buttons the single press is always stock while you can setup only for one of them long press. It will work on home and back.
Volume up/down works single press, double press, triple press and long press works. Single press, double press and long press works for phone green button. Nothing seems to work for phone red button as it always switches off the device.
Hi,
I have two request:
How can I disable vibration when I press Home, Menu and Back buttons?
My camera button doesn't start the application if I press it longtime, and doesn't take a picture, but it works to focus the image... so I think the button is not damaged.... Is it a software issue?
Note: I have a stock rom 1.6.
thanks

Is it possible to press hardware button like volume up or volume down to launch camera when phone is not ON ?
I could not find a way to assign key to camera.
Nope. Just the shortcut on the lock screen.

You can set the fingerprint reader to take a picture when holding it while in the camera app.

If you use nova launcher, you can setup a "double tap" of the home button to open the camera .
I hope that they add this to the next release of the software. I think that double-clicking the power button to launch the camera is a default function in Marshmallow and I am not sure why they disabled it.
If I tap twice on the power button when screen is off, it launches the camera. EU version on B05 (worked on B03 too I think).
Are you rooted?
No, as stock as it can be.

This sounds perfect and I wish I could do this on an A2017U running B27.
