Camera button - Xperia Z3 General

Does anyone's camera button click once or twice? When I release the button it does this weird double click sound. Is that normal?

It's not just on release, it's on press as well and it's a feature: first click (pressed down half the way) to focus, second click (all the way down) to shoot.

Thank you

Key mapping alternate power button

Curious as to whether anyone has attempted to remap one of the 4 buttons on the Shift as an alternate to the power button on the top of the phone.
Personally I can live w/o the "search" button, and if it's remapped to act as a second power on/on toggle, that'd.....be.....awesome.
I think the power button has to be a physical non-capacitive button. The 4 bottom buttons are just part of the screen and so will not respond to a touch if the screen is off.

Good point, I didn't even think of that. You're right.
Thanks!
Now if someone could get it to turn on after you did a double tap on the volume up button or something. That would be bad-ass.

This is a GREAT idea.
I'd like it if while in the camera app the volume keys worked as camera buttons.

Yes it is
Go do a search on the forum for buttonremapper (or the market if you'd like to help and donate)

I am using my volume rockers as camera
This is the button remapper app thats been mentioned in other threads
I haven't tried it out yet though.

I know what you mean, like some sort of 'profile' based key mappings.

Downloaded and re-mapped the Volume Down button to work as an alternate Power button (since i just use toggle widgets and settings for volume anyway), and remapped Power button to open Camera. Great app!

Button layout

Hey guys,
I don't have a Note, thus I ask it to you all
Are there buttons beside the Home, Power and Volume keys?
Yes the capacitive ones like on SGS2, to the left there is the menu button and to the right there is the back button.
Search button is missing (long press on menu button instead).

No You have power on the right side, Vol on the leftside down in the middle the home button and 2 softkeys for "back" and "Options" ... nothing more.
I love my Cam Button at the Streak, cause for selfshooting with the main Cam this is nearly required..

So there are softbuttons?
I like it to know because I am figuring out how to port CM7.

Wow another great news.
Given that most of the internal specs match SGSII do u think it will be easier ?

Fast Capture is available on the Arc!

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...
Via Tapatalk 2.0 on ICS
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!

Home button delay

Kind of annoying this delay once you hit the home button. I hope someone figures out a way to get rid of it. Looks like it was an isue with the Int GSII also.

did you turn off the s-voice setting where double pressing home opens it? when you press home once there is a slight delay waiting to see if you'll press it again, turn that off and your golden
I don't notice a delay on mine... Maybe a 10th of a second delay? Not much. You could try turning off screen animations in the settings to make it faster too.

It kind of sucks. Solution with holding multitasking button was better, because now you have to press button in the right moment and it takes a while to learn it.

I'm running stock jelly bean 4.2 and the method I said works perfectly fine. In fact I just took a screenshot of something lol

I agree it sucks, I have an otter box on my Galaxy Nexus and its practically impossible to press it in the right spot... Google aggregates me by changing the UI for no reason, the press-and-hold power and tap the screenshot option seemed much easier to me.
Is there a way to change this without a third-party app?
it maybe different with nexus, but I was looking for the same option with my Xperia (have a custom Rom, but standard 4.2 system)
I bypassed the power + volume option, by going to settings/system/power menu, and ticked 'screenshot'
hopefully you have this option in settings too
