Friends who shoot underwater or something on the phone when I entered the water I didn't get a photo, opening recent apps, How do you do it you could help
capacitive buttons locked underwater ?
You can open the camera with three quick taps of the Home Button if enabled, which most of the time come enabled by default. Also, the volume rockers on the phone can be used to take pictures. It's normal for the capacitive screen and buttons to stop working since water activates the "whole" thing.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!

Sony ericsson Xperia x1.For any reason i cant make picture with button on side this ceel phone.if i touch this button i only wake up this cell phone.but if i like set up cameras and make any picture i must go on Start-programs-picture and videos,click on,cameras and picture i must make with senzor button.You have any idea why??this button don t work.Thank for ansver and help.Danny.
Umm....its hard trying to understand what u typed. but I think you're having a problem with getting your camera to start with the side camera button right? well I had the same problem at first, but then I figured out that you have to press the camera button further down to get it to work. doing a soft press on the button is used for focusing the camera, thats why you have to press it down hard
Hold the camera button down until the screen changes to a gray logo of a camera. Should load from anywhere on the phone
In camera, go to settings icon and choose thee shooting mode (button will have different behaviour depending on which shooting setting you choose)
.
new to SE phones?
Sony Ericssons have camera buttons to be pressed at almost very hard for it to turn the camera on. (well unless if the cellphone have lens cover.)
Then taking a picture takes a couple of seconds late that is, pressing soft for focusing, then press hard for taking a shot. You can also take a shot right away by pressing hard but it might still take a couple of split seconds to shoot.
I wonder why they say " Never miss a shot" hehehe hope this helps but if your phone still doesn't respond maybe there is a problem with your camera button.
Try opening your camera by goinf to pics and vids then activate your camer NOW, try to take a picture by pressing the button. if it responds and takes shots. then you've probably need a master reset, or reflash.
Camera
Yes,i press this button verry hard for long time,soft for long time and nothing happen.Still i cant use this button.You have any other idea.What you think about master reset, or reflash.??Thank you for any ansver.Danny.
Do you have installed manilla landscape?
If yes, I've read the camera button will be unmapped
Picture
No,i don t installed manilla landscape.Why?
I left the camera on for a couple of minutes, took some pictures, and suddenly the screen didn't response to any touch, neither the capacitive buttons. There was a "lock icon" shown on the right top corner of the camera screen. I don't know whether I accidentally pressed something, but I couldn't get it back. Fortunately, the power button still worked, so I could turn the phone off and back on. Everything is fine now. It also happened once on my friends' Epic 4G.
If you hit the power button while the camera is active, it will lock it to prevent accidental screen presses.
Simply press the power button to unlock.

Got it. Thanks a lot.
Hi all,
i sometimes notice this problem on my omnia 7..
when the screen is turned off and i press the middle button the screen is not turning on.. i have to press it again or press the power button.. anyone experienced this problem?? any idea what can it caused?? I do not have any apps installed..
Thanks..
I have the same, sometimes the middle windows button will not wake the phone up.
When the middle button refuses to wake up the phone the camera button also refuses to wake up the phone and go straight to the camera app. I need to press the power button and then the camera button.
Annoying.
Do you guys know the term "it is a feature" when something in reality is a flaw - well in this case it really is a feature
If the sensors notice that the phone is in a complete dark surrounding it assumes the phone is in a pocket. Therefore it not wakes your screen up and also the camera button will not work. You can test this if you hold your thumb over the sensors next to the speaker strip.
Should your camerabutton not function in a bright setting, it is of course a different situation.
What an easy and clever answer..
Thank you very much.. next time i will think more.. OMNIA 7 rulezzz
Aaaah clever stuff!
Superb thanks
In trying to set up controls for a game, I found a very unhappy button combination. If the camera button is fully depressed while holding the left key on the hardware keyboard, the screen will lock and usually freeze the phone. Another user who tried to replicate this for me got an unresponsive camera app that required a reboot.
What are other users' mileage here? Anybody have any ideas on a workaround, or is this probably just a hardware quirk?
i tried every diff combination of left and the camera button, and did not have the same experience. i do know that if your in the camera app, and press power, it does lock the phone, but i think it is supposed to. pressing the power button a second time unfreezes it. imma do more research. i read something about this once on ppcg.
i found this.may or may not be the same thing for your friends.
"hey folks For those of you experiencing a lock-up while in camera mode, I thought it happened to me the other day as well, turns out its not a bug its user error. If you try to turn off the screen while in camera/video mode by hitting the screen lock button you are locking the camera mode, which mean you are making it so that the phone does not accept any inputs aside from unlocking by hitting the power/ screen unlock button again. This "lock mode" is indicated by lock icon appearing in the top corner of the screen. The reason for this screen unlock button again. This "lock mode" is indicated by lock icon appearing in the top corner of the screen. The reason for this mode is actually good, if you are filming something important you don't a finger slip hitting the back/home buttons and ruining your video, so you can lock it and not worry about it. Of course this means if you don't know about the feature and you activate it, instant freak out. But, now you know mode is actually good, if you are filming something important you don't a finger slip hitting the back/home buttons and ruining your mode is actually good, if you are filming something important you don't a finger slip hitting the back/home buttons and ruining your video, so you can lock it and not worry about it.

That may have something to do with it, but is not the problem I am having. When I am somewhere outside of the camera app (homescreen or game, for example) if I hold the left arrow key and fully depress the camera button, the screen will turn off and make the lock sound. Usually I can unlock it with the power button or this combinaton again, but it will occasionally freeze and refuse to accept input from the touchscreen or capacitive buttons.
(If it's at all helpful, I was trying to set up the camera button as the R shoulder button in SNESdroid.)
It could be that the phone is getting confused and thinks I'm trying to lock the camera app, but since I'm not in the app it locks the entire phone.
I just did it while reading your post lol I can confirm it freaks out lol

Hello all,
I have a question regarding the Samsung Omnia 7's home button and its responsiveness. I've heard some say that it's not very responsive, and that it takes a few presses for for the device to respond. Is this true? How responsive is the home button?
I've been using it for 2 weeks now and have no problems with the home button
Sometimes I have this issue. Thinking about sending it back for repair if the problem persists/gets worse. Curious fact: If you press hard at the bottom of the device, while pushing the windows-button - it won't react at all.
Make sure that you are not covering the light and proximity sensor..
You can experiment it by placing your hand on top of the phone and press the home button.. You will notice that the screen doesn't turn on!
That was it. Covering the light sensors at the top right disables the home-button. Very understandable given that you don't want it to turn on in your pocket.

But isn't that the point of having a lockscreen? what are the chances of pushing the home button, and sliding up the lockscreen in your pocket?
The power button wakes it up even if the sensors are covered, so it seems having this feature on the home button is an unnecessary annoyance.
For what it's worth...I don't want to have an empty battery just because something in my pocket pressed the home button and the screen lit up.
This feature is good -why should I press the home button when the proximity sensor is being covered?
Sometimes the home button is not responding at all. Only a reboot helps. Anyone with similar problems and a solution? Or is this a wp7-bug.

Read the posts above.
It's not a bug. The home button will not react if the LIGHT SENSOR is covered. It's designed that way, so if the button is pressed in your pocket your phone won't turn on and waste battery.
Try in a well lit area and do not cover the sensor at the top of the phone. The home button will work exactly the same as the lock button then.
If the sensor is covered, the home button won't react. If it's not, then the home button will.
End of story, moving on...

So in theory, if you are in a pitch black room, your home button will not turn on the screen? Don't think so.
........It's not the light sensor, it's the proximity sensor.

Sorry but that is simply not true (so not end of story....) I actually just tried to lay down my phone on a table and then cover the whole top of the phone with my hand (also tried with a piece of thick paper) so the sensor is covered. Then I tried to press the Home button, well it still works on my Omnia 7. I always return to the homescreen or my turned off screen will turn on - even with the sensor in the top covered completely - but what I cant is to scroll in the tiles or anything on the screen (sometimes), seems the sensor disables all my touch on the screen, but not the hardwarebutton Home in the middle - if you dont believe it, I could create a video of it.....
EDIT HERES A VIDEO:

I've had such a problem ... the home button not responding ...
also in conversation I could not hang up call, just a black screen would remain. Only remove the battery worked. when I got the jig, I put the new software and have no further problems
