Hello,
I got my device two days ago and all seems to work well. However, the hardware button that launches the camera application does not seem to respond when I click on it. Is anyone else experiencing this too? Is tyour camera application launching fine when you click on the camera hardware button found on the side of the device?
Thanks,
Gilbert
Half press or Full press...
The Camera has a setting that turns it on with either a Half press or a Full press of the side button.
It defaults to FULL so if you're at the Today Screen for example, Press it and then press it in MORE. That's the FULL Press.
Once you're in the camera, you can change the setting to turn it on with a HALF press of the button.

That is a lovely feature, How many times I take my Hermes out of the puch when I get a phone call and find that teh camera is on...
then, does the camera button of the kaiser work the same way as a shutter button in a photo camera?.... half press for focus, then it's focused, you can move the subject.... then full press for making photo?
Yes, that's exactly how it works. There is a rectangle in the middle of the screen that turns green when the image is in focus. After that rectangle turns green, push the camera button down further to take the picture! Great feature as long as you have a VERY steady hand, otherwise your picture will turn out blurry.

I don't really use the camera on my Kaiser, but I've just notice that on pushing the camera button it does not start up. No problem selecting from the program list.
Check that the button was set up correctly in the settings screen. I then changed the button to operate another program, but that doesn't work either. Somethings up with the button itself. I do get the "audio click" confirming the button has been pressed but nothing else.
Any ideas?

From what you say it sounds like you are well aware of how that switch works and that it has two levels of operation (half press and full press). With full press - required to start the camera, it really is a deep press, going down below casing level.
I assume though you know this and have tried pushing in as deep as it will go. It is obviously at least partially working hence the audio sound.
To be honest a hard reset might well fix this and if not the a repair under warranty for a hardware fault could be done.

That's it. It works now. What's the half press for?

Half a press focuses the camera and then a full press takes the picture.
Previous models didn't have auto-focus

Yes indeed, it's also configurable in settings so you can change the half and full press behaviour.

Hey, I'm having some technical problems with my TyTN/Kaiser. Most times I'm in a voice call I will have the phone against my cheek like all people do, but the problem is that when I move around slighty or whatever the end button is being pressed on the touch screen by my cheek.
This is so annoying and I've read through the manual and couldn't find anything to disable touch screen in a call, so now I come to you folk
Is there any way to lock touch screen only (not buttons) in a call?
A_Cs S2U2 has some of this functionality.
My Tilt allows me to do a quick-press of the power button while on a call. That turns off my screen, but still allows me to end a call with the "hard" end button.
you could use advance config/kaiser tweak to enable fast sleep when in call that turns the screen off while still keeping it unlocked so the buttons work after a few seconds..... otherwise press the power button quickly as soon as you have made the call/answered the phone

Cool, this sounds alright, but when you say turns the screen off but keeps it unlocked, does that mean the end button is still pressable on the screen?
I can't believe nobody has this problem.. happens to me almost every call.

When the screen goes off, either by time-out or quick press of the power button, the screen "buttons" are not enabled.
You can end the call with the red end button. Or, if you prefer... another quick press of the power button to "wake up" the screen, and you can use the soft buttons again.

No, I had it happen frequently in my first few weeks of ownership, but it's not happening of late. I don't know what I'm doing different, but it was a real pain.
Hi guys, I just got my new replacement Bell Samsung galaxy S and have gotten things running on it again, but the damn thing keeps going into some weird screen capture.
What happens is that when I hit the "back" button it will go dark and the "menu" button will light up. repeatedly hitting the back button will do nothing, and hitting the menu button will do nothing. Pressing the center "home" button will take a picture of what I have displayed on the screen.
I go and check my running applications and it shows this "screen capture service" running. I stop it and then I continue on what I'm doing and it happens again, going back to the running apps and it is back.
The only way it seems I can use my "back" button is if i hit the "volume" button on the side and then both the "back" and "menu" buttons will light up, and then I have to wait until they both go dark before I can hit the "back" button and have it work. if I hit it will they are lit up it goes back into the screen capture "mode"
The phone came in the mail with I9000UGJL2, firmware 2.2.
Any advice on how to permanently kill that damn screen capture thing would be greatly appreciated because it is driving me nuts. I get a way with maybe 2 "back" button pushes where it works and then it goes into that mode
Same problem...
Samsung Galaxy S i9000 (Facinate)
It seems that by pressing the back button too quickly puts you in the Screen Capture mode...Back button dims but the Menu button stays lit. I found that if I push the Home button that take s the screen shot, then wait for both the Menu and Back button to come on and then lowlight, I can then hit the back button and continue on for a while?
Package name: com.sec.android.app.screencapture
Source: /system/app/ScreenCaptureService.apk
Please, I would like to find out more about this app in order to try and control it. It really slows moving back when you have to wait for the Menu and Back buttons to lowlight before you can hit the back button again!
Just after posting the above, I was able to Force Stop the package and I have not had a problem with the phone going into screen capture mode since.
Woohoo!
My i9100 built-in Screen Capture Service default output is png format. How can I change it to jpeg format?
I have a question for though who has the 8.0 version.
I have a situation with the main home button, it may not be a problem, but just the way it was made, when you press the home button whiles in a app, or the second menu, you have to press directly in the center of the button to return to the home page, at first I had to press twice, and I also notice if you press softly on the edge of the button left or right, there is no reaction (the button does produce a click, as the button seem to be pressed).
is this the same with anyone.

I don't have this problem with mine. I suggest you might have a defective device.

The problem is hard to explain properly, but I think it's normal as my friends tablet is the same.
Lets put it this way.
Have you sometime even pressed the hardware home button, knowing you have pressed it with a click noise thinking it registered a press, then you noticed nothing has happened, then you pressed it the second time and this time the press reacted.
This is the situation with me, then I tested the it further and pressed the button slightly to the right or the left, with no reaction, then you press it direct in the middle and all is fine, it also depend on how firmly you press it.
I think the button is made that way especially since it has the finger touch sensor in the button.
i know what you mean. had this problem one time with an s4. the problem is, the button is not exactly placed on the switch inside. if you press not exactly in the middle, it hangs a little bit. If you can change, change it.

I actually think it's normal, and as you say that the press must be in the middle, I'm ok with that, if it's on the side, then that a very good reason to change it, but it's on the middle, what can I ask for.
I'm just curious whether this situation exist with other units, and I will test this out later on today with many of the display units available at all the in store.

NO such issues on t715..lightly pressed the very corners of the home button and it does what it is supposed to (left and right side...using fingers overlapping the main body and button and then just fingernail itself)
works just fine
Thanks for the reply, I actually see various result, may be mine has a glass protector which is seems like you have to press deeper, and I don't want to remove it just to test it.
Any way having to press right at the center is not really a bad idea, and there won't be any accidental press.
If anything is actually wrong, there is the warranty, or I can just change the home button myself, plenty of spare part available to buy in china.
Just need to know the proper way to open the tablet.
I have T710. The Home button works normally. Just press and it goes home.
I have a question for though who has the 9.7 version.
I have a situation with the main home button and the sleep/wake up button, it may not be a problem, but just the way it was made, when you press the home button and the sleep/wake up button while the tablet is locked in the right side some colorful lines apperas for approx. 0,1 s. Can someone help me with this?
9 out of 10 screenshots I take are by accident when I'm trying to press the power button to turn the screen off. With the volume buttons opposite the power button, it's too easy to press them. Is there a way to change how a screenshot is taken?

That's already on, but the other way I'm talking about is still active.
Hold you phone differently, unless your hands are so monstrous that preventing your fingers from pressing the volume button is impossible.
Thanks for the Apple-grade suggestion like I've got bad reception on my iPhone. lol
Holding the phone as usual in my right hand, it's not typically a problem. But frequently if it's in my left or I do a quick reach with either to turn the screen on and view notifications and turn it back off, I end up with an accidental screenshot. If I could make it require a momentary hold of the buttons before it takes a screenshot, it would do the trick.

You could try installing a Bixby button remapper. Many of them allow you to set different functions to your hardware/mechanical buttons & or set delays of different intervals while keeping the current buttons doing the usual stock actions. If you are rooted you only need to install once. If you are stock UnRooted you need to run adb commands every time you turn off or reboot but this is the only option I can think of that will do what you need done. Bxactions is one app and another is button Mapper. Cheers & hope this helps you out.
