New camera app brings a very useful feature to Xperia Z ! - Xperia Z General

I was very excited to find that the social camera supports using volume key as shutter. Which means I can use my xperia z to take picture under the water easily ! That's great !

Agree!

- What is a social camera?
- How can you use the volume button as shutter?
- Are you talking about a clear version of android 4.3 that was launched now by sony?

xperia z hasnt got social live. But to switch on volume key as shutter just go to camera settings.

Where can i find those settings? Thx

Yes the official version of Xperia Z 4.3 update, you can now simply download the Social App officially and use it.
Using the Volume button to take picture is also in the camera Settings
Download Social Live:

Bugs in stock 2.3.3

Hi
I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread with found bugs in the 2.3.3 software for the X10. Please report other bugs here.
Audio Stutter
Missed calls on lock screen (But there is no missed calls, something else triggers this message
998 MHz: Full processor speed.
Camera menu doesn't rotate in portrait
Anyone more than me with f**ked-up calls? You can't hear the other parts. Just some strange noisenoise. Happened yesterday, and today.
The camera works only in landscape mode.

Your camera does not work in Portrait mode?
Or you mean the menu does not rotate?
In my X10, camera DOES work in Portrait mode...
Even Upside down, it will work...
But the menu stay in Landscape mode only...
Why not just say the menu does not rotate...
Instead of saying camera does not work?
Is your camera stop taking picture in Portrait mode?
It might be a feature and not a bug...
bugs for me:
- unable to open any https webpage in any of the browsers (dolphin,stock,opera...)
- when going to m.facebook.com and clicking any external link it does not work,tried all the browsers
These 2 features used to work perfectly on 2.1
Yes, you are right. The menu of the camera is not rotating from landscape to potrait. for me it feels like a bug.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I don't have any issue accept RAM. Although it's low but the phone run smooth.
there's a similar thread here fyi
Ok, the camera menu seems like a bug.
continuing in that thread then. Thanks
I personally think this is a better thread with the bugs in the first post. I'll read the other One though. Not all issues in the other thread are bugs...
- ugly looking UI & apps,
- one way camera UI,
- music app much behind from Mediascape (o.k., equalizer, but the rest is crap)
- calendar like from stone age, useless
- not any connection between UI of stock apps, like they were doing a car from different company spare parts
- ...
I'm still on 2.1.B.0.1, rooted and JIT.
Regards, Zagor
Im closing this cause there is already a 2.3.3 issues thread

Camera Problem

Hi guys, i have a problem with my new Xperia Arc. I have updated my Fw 3.x with new 4.x (and again with new build with Camera 3D). Now phisycal button of Camera don't works. I press it and Camera App don't start.
So i launch app fro Menu, but here phisycal button works only for autofocus, not for capture photo. I need to use touch display for my photo...
Any suggestion, please!!!!
Hard reset and flash again already tested.

Did it work before? are you pressing it hard enough?
I suggest that just use the touch to capture.
As the camera button too small and you need to press it really hard to snap a photo.
Just as experienced mentioned
You need to.press it really hard.

Yes, it works perfectly before 4.x update with Camera 3D.
perhaps the second stage of your camera button is no longer functional? i assume this because the camera app will open once you briefly, hold down the camera button at its second stage, and the same with taking photos.
really strange, I also updated but everything works perfectly
Solved! I flash again new Fw 42 (but US Generic) and now physical button works perfectly!
I have used Wotan Client for flash, Flashtool don't works for me... I give "error: flash aborted", but Wotan is very slow and i preferr Flashtool. Can you help me to use this software? Driver problem?
Tnx guys and... sorry for my english....

Its a big disadvantage with the stock camera that you cant take picture with the Volume or power key!!

Don't know about stock rom but in cm7 I use volume key to focus and when released it takes photo. Very handy, almost like normal camera.
Sent from my u8800 using XDA App
With the stock rom and the stock camera app its not possible to do this!
Its one of the many features of the cm7 rom that i missed at the stock rom but the Fm radio is a big disadvantage for the time!
Camera ZOOM FX was 0.10$ until yesterday. It is a full blown camera app, with all the button customization you could imagine.
from TT ideos x5
After trying some hours the zoom fx must say that its much better that the standard app!!
First i set the button to the Volume up button and the only bug is that every time you take a picture you hear the sound from the normal use of the button (ringer volume)
Now i will try the camera 360 because i forgot it yesterday an choose one of them for the everyday use!
I really like Lightbox as it comes with a number of filters to give the photos a nice effect. I don't even use the stock application anymore.
i'll use lgcamera for video recording because you can choose AAC audio encoder witk 48kHz and 128Kbps. Very good audio quality.

Headphone button doesn't work for me, Nothing happens after a clean installation.
Apparently this is my daily driver now. I just don't know since when
Today XZ was having some issues with Chrome. Graphical glitches. And after starting chrome and getting clitch it rebooted. And also Play could not connect to internet even thought stock browser had no problems. Oh well.. I'm not sure if I installed 10.2 over 10.1 this morning, yesterday or day before that. I've been using CM updater and haven't noticed .2 change
I'm downloading correct version of GAPPS and try to flash it to see if it changes things. But 10.2 seems to be working :silly:
Bugs I've found after using it for a while now:
- focal inverted front camera,
- torch force closes,
- keyboard flickers in some IM apps (whatsapp, messaging)
- option Settings>Device>More...>"launch music app" means only Apollo. There's no "clear defaults" under apps>Apollo to clear for being default music player. so enabling this will always open apollo, even if you're using poweramp or any other music player

CM 10.2 works fine here, but my 4G/LTE is broken. Can someone tell me how to fix it?
EDIT: Figured out how to activate LTE :
dial *#*#4636#*#* to enter what mode and you can see LTE options there
Do I need to install the Gapps everytime I update the nightlies?
There's been some interesting patches put into gerrit, if you're self compiling.
Xplodwild has dramatically improved focal(there's some general fixes and picsphere fixes) plus code to hide the top status bar(and peek it in full screen).
Definitely worth adding

Galaxy S4 (TW)
Htc One M7 (Sense)
Htc One M8 (Sense)
Nexus 5 (AOSP)
Not Working
Any Samsung Note Device
I really need testers for this so please if you try this and it works on your device please inform me on what device it is and what rom its running
Currently has only been tested on AOSP/CM11 if u are willing to try on another firmware please inform me of whether it works or not and if something goes wrong i will not be accounted responsible. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK! . Though generally speaking if anything goes wrong it can be reverted by a clean flash
Instructions
1. Download and Flash zip through recovery
2. It is a common issue that superior auto and manual are broken, as well as constant force closing of the cameraui and the camera common if you happen to encounter this make shortcuts of all camera apps provided on the home screen of your launcher. Then disable cameracommon and semccamera under the all apps tab in settings. Adding of the shortcuts can be done on pretty much any launcher you will have to locate it for your respective launcher. The shortcut is labeled Camera and from there you select the needed apps. (IMPORTANT! MAKE SURE TO ADD SHORTCUTS BEFORE DISABLING CAMERA COMMON, AS THE SHORTCUT DISAPPEARS ONCE DISABLED)
3. Profit
(Fair warning depending on you devices specs the install can be excruciatingly long just WAIT for the process to finish DO NOT pull the battery thinking its stuck!

If someone could test and let me know that'd be great but for now its only been tested on 4.4.2
HTC One - Sense 6.0 - Android 4.4.2
Just some things to report:
AR effect for LINE works flawlessly
Can't find normal AR Effect (One with the dinosaurs etc.) in app drawer or anywhere
Sony camera FC
BG Defocus works flawlessly
MotionShot FCs after recording
Motiongraph works nicely as well
SocialLive works well
Wikitude places works nicely as well
The following apps which I can't find in the app drawer:
AR Effect (The normal one)
Info-eye
Voice Balloon Photo
A very nice job though!
P.S I only tested the Camera apps
EDIT: Forgot to mention, Camera Common also FC'ed but prevented that by disabling it in Settings > Apps
Never mind

Yup there are still some Fc's thanks for the feedback to get the effects missing like Ar effect just go to widgets then shortcuts or for Sony launcher hold on the screen hit apps and then shortcut select the camera and add for all the effects listed there afterwards you can disable camera common and the camera app. Make sure to disable the Camera common after making of shortcuts from there on out its retty much functional without any fc's allowing to use cool functions like background defocus.
Btw Zeroinfinity you are amazing absolutely loved Purexaudio for the Z back in the 4.1.2 days wish you never had to leave. Truly amazing to day its the best sounding mod for the Z . So thanks for that mod, never got to thank you before as i was not part of xda when you left, the guys over at the Htc One thread are lucky to have you :good:
