Problem / Question about Xperia Camera - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
From where i can mute /disable the camera shutter sound, its so loud, i want to disable it.
My 2nd question is, whenever i take the picture from Xperia, the camera is so slow in all the means, why is that so? Either i start the camera, it nearly take half minute to get ready, If i take the snap after pressing the camera button, the snap is caputred after around 10-15 second, so for the meantime i have to keep the camera in still positon, otherwise if i move it i get the blurr kind of image.
And in the end if i fortunatley able to get some clear picture, closing the camera or to take another pic, i still have to wait for for 20 seconds.
Is there some software/ patch which can remove these problems? or i will appreciate the guidance of experts.
I am using Xperia( Made in Taiwan), with latest ROM version from Sony Ericsson.
Thanks
Jade

in your camera settings
shutter sound click "snd.1" and change it to off
your camera settings also include various other settings you can change
to make the camera more like you want it
like many people get confused by the while click on screen where you want to have it focus
turning that off would prob help you
maybe all autofocus if you want it to take pictures fast

Rudegar,
Thanks alot the 2nd problem seems to be exactly what you pointed out. I never knew that before ,
But for the first question i asked about that Camera Picture Capture Sound, i am able to found the option for it, but i cannot found the option to mute it, infact i found 4 sounds option over there, and there was no option for "No Sound" or Mute , neither browse option to select any other sound file.
THanks

You can always make an "empty" sound file and replace the default one for the shutter. It is somewhere in the Windows folder IIRC.

Xperia Camera software issue!!!
HI Mates,
Of late started having problems with my xperia(updated to 3rd version of UK generic rom) Camera.
Everytime i press the camera button to click a photo, the screen turns up blank(dark grey).
I have to do a soft reset everytime i have to snap a pic or take a vid. It stays good for sometime, and iam not sure when the bug steps in.
Is this a know issue, any solution to this please?...
Thanks

The only way I've found is to turn the sound off on the phone, before activating the camera.

Remove any sound on Camera !?!

I am facing the same problem, but it never worked again.
I installed some ROMS such as UnOff and Touch-it. Up to this moment the camera was 100% OK. After that, I installed the original Brazilian Portuguese software and the camera stopped working...
What do I do? DOes anyone had such a problem? How to solve it?

Question about KaiserTweak function

Hey, I was having some trouble with my TyTN's camera where taking a picture is really really delayed, it was taking a picture literally two or three seconds after I pressed the button.
Now, I inquired about this and someone told me KaiserTweak has an option under Camera to set the camera delay, but in the newest version of the KaiserTweak this option has been removed.
It seems like it would really help and I think I just need the old .cab version but I can't find any older versions of the tool.
Does anyone know why it was removed and/or where I can find an older version?
Cheers.

It was the version from june which had this option, i'm not aware of a newer version than that.
Also, is there a reason you didn't post this in the kaisertweaks thread?
sounds like you got the camera set to full press. you'll need change to half press and maybe turn the shutter sound off. you do this in the settings that are available while the camera is use uses

Thanks, I did this but still it gives a 2 or 3 second delay where if I move my phone the slightest it will capture a blurry image..
The shutter speed is soo damn slow, this has to be the worst camera tool I've ever used on a phone..
Is there no way to reduce the massive delay?
thanks again.

KaiserTweak's Capture Delay setting works for me on every ROM that I run. If you set the camera app to Half Press, and the delay to 0 seconds, but it's still not working, then it sounds like you've got some registry corruption going on there.

The thing is I have no option to set the delay to 0, which is what I need.. The current version of KaiserTweak does not have this feature so I need an older version if anyone has a copy??

Camera => Album = black (blank) screen?

I've searched and read (and read and read) but haven't found a solution to this. Maybe I've missed it. If so, please point me in the right direction.
I upgraded my new Tilt with Dutty's Diamond V1 (WM6.1) ROM. It has a new camera (v 5.04, build 29195) installed. When running, I can take pictures just fine. However, when I click on the right-pointing arrow in the lower-left corner, it's supposed to link me over to the photo album but all I get is a black screen. At this point, I can press on the "windows" button and launch Today where I can see that the album has launched and is running, but when I select it, I only see a black screen.
Is there a fix for this?
i got the same issue
your camera works fine? where are the photos saving to?
The camera works fine. I can save the pictures to either the device or the storage card - both work.
Some pix
Just so it's clear, I'm posting a couple of pictures. I used MyMobiler to capture the screens which, unfortunately, does not capture the camera image in the first frame.
The first frame shows the screen (sans what my camera was seeing). The red circle highlights the "Album" button.
When pressed, I get what you see in the second - nothing but black. The phone's not locked up, however. It's just not displaying anything. No album - nothing.
And finally, in the third screen, you see that both Camera and Album are running. Album was launched, apparently, by the screen tap in the Camera application but doesn't seem to quite get it right when launched this way.
Ideas?
so you have a black screen when using camera, but it still takes pictures, if that is the case try another radio.

its not a radio problem. i think it has something to do with a broken album link in the camera application. im looking for a solution as well, as i am having the exact same problem on my own cooked rom

No. I don't have a black screen when using the camera. I see things just fine when using the camera. Works just like you'd expect. What you're seeing above in the first pic is an artifact of the screen capture program.
The anomalous behavior begins when trying to launch the album from inside the camera application. That's when the screen goes black.
My initial thinking was as mbarvian has floated - a bad link or some bad parameter passed from inside the camera app. I was hoping that this could be fixed with a registry edit, actually, but couldn't find a registry key that offered promise.
(BTW, I tried re-flashing the ROM but that didn't fix the problem. Just another data point to consider.)
So, nobody has a solution? Are others seeing this or just the two of us who have posted? I guess it's just something we live with until the day it's fixed?
Same problem same ROM...
when i had windows 6.0 i went on the htc website and downloaded 3 hot fixes for my phone ,then when i updated to the orange 6.1 version of win mobile i had the same problem as you ,( black screen on camera ) anyway i uninstalled the hot fixes ( they are not required on 6.1 version ) camera is now ok
Also, same problem... same rom.
stop taking pictures of only black things...

Yours may be slightly different than mine. I don't really get a black screen on the camera - only when I launch the album viewer from inside the camera application.
The "same issue - same ROM" responses at least give me a measure of affirmation that there is a known unresolved issue. For now, I'll just manually launch the album from the launcher where it seems to work, and avoid using the call from the camera app.
maybe using advanced config. and making sure the photos are saving to My Pictures might help

Set to that by default already. Tried swapping it to DCIM just to see what happened but that didn't work either.
camer w/black screen
after upgrading tilt to wm 6.1, my camera takes photos, but the screen is black, no preview, until AFTER taking the photo, then it appears briefly. is there a CAB fix for this. please help
I think it may have something to do with the version of the camera fix. I noticed the problem this weekend after updating to the ATT Official 6.1 ROM. Installed a newer version of Nadavi HTC Camera and when i went into the camera all I can see was a black screen. I'm using 5_0_4_2915 which seems to have corrected the problem for me.
where can i get this version that you tried? i am having the same problem

HTC Touch Diamond Camera Lag

As you all probably know, when taking a picture with this phone the camera takes about five seconds to actually take the picture after pressing the button. I did a search and read that I could go into the registry and change a couple things, which I did. However, that did not change the capture time. Does anyone know a fix?
its not neccessary to edit the registry, just search around the options
menue->advanced settings
should be the first entry
greets
Thanks but the first entry is the review time after the picture is taken, used to see what the picture looks like. Not what I was looking to change.
Same problem here, 5 seconds of lag, it makes the sound and the people move thinkink that the picture had been taken but oohh surprise .... so I always get a ghost picture LOL
Same here .... Is totally imposible to take a photo ghost-free
can we use another app to take picture? I know that coolcamera works beautifully with my HTC prophet. Does coolcamera work with touch diamond? Anyone tried? Or any better apps for the camera? HTC camera never respond quickly no matter in what devices. I guess we need to replace the HTC camera with something else.
If you have a delay in taking a photo just change the settings using the Advanced Configuration Tool. Under the camera options, capture delay should be disabled, key delay disabled and capture key delay set to zero.
also, try this:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/Captparam/
and set
CaptureTimer = 0 (old=5000)
Two more things to do - go into the camera advanced settings (in the camera itself) and turn off the click sounds and set the review time to no limit. With those changes I think I have a working camera here...

I know where click sounds and review time are. But How do i get to capture delay, key delay, ect. I know you said use advanced configuration tool. Does that come on the phone? If so how do i get to it? Or is it only on the diamond. Im new to xda and I dont see a thread for the HTC Touch Pro. Which is the phone im using. So I assume anything in the HTC Diamond threads would work with my phone.
Oh I think i just came across it by mistake while reading through threads
is this what you were talking about that i need to have.

BUt in the list under camera options it showed capture delay should be disabled, key delay disabled and capture key delay set.
But I saw alot of people saying they messed up there phone playing with settings so i havent installed it yet.
DO you have the new version of advanced config?

The Touch pro is the Raphael. Here's an article on Advanced Configuration: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=203
You should check out the tips/tricks at fuzemobility.com as well. The Fuze is a variant of the Touch pro and they're identical except for a few things like a push to talk button...

Download Regedit for HTC or whatever register editor and go to HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/Captparam/ there you can edit and modify the timer, with all these tricks the camera is working a little bit better, but Im still getting ghost pictures... I give up with this phone ........
to tek: i had the wrong advanced config. the latest one does have all the camera things. and it works. the lag is only probably about a second and a half know.

SEX1 Camera sound

Hi, guys.
How I can switch off this annoying camera sound? I try to find some keys in registry, but can't find some useful. From camera menu I can't switch off sound, just choose from 4 variants of it.
Thanks for assistance.
you can switch it of in the camera menu...
Not necessarily...
Sony removed the "sound off" option in the newest NAM R2A ROM
Legal issues I guess
guess so too.
there was a political discussion 'bout that. taking pictures of peeing womans or so without makeing a noise ... im somwhat sure that this was the work of an american politician.
I think it has to do with this new law:

Why not just turn off your ringer before taking the picture. Then the speaker is disabled and voila, no camera sound.

No need for X1 (R2A), just delete sounds.blob
Either:
- Overwrite sounds.blob with a 0kb file or delete it (whatever works for you)
- Or set HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\Camera\PROPERTY_PHOTO_SHUTTER_SOUND to value 4.
- Or turn down system volume to 0.
Disables the shutter sound.

Because the camera sound is something I newer want, so why not remove it. So anyway. There is a solution so all this posts that is posted now is unnecessary. Like mine
All I did was choose Camera Sound 4, there's no noise. I'm running UK R2 btw.
Which file contains the sound for auto focus? The sound is too loud. I would lower the volume of the sound file or even delete it completely.
I sometimes forget to turn off the phone volume and that sound is too noisy!

Actually this works just great for me. I figured out my keyboard problem is due to something else. Thanks very much for the help on disabling the shutter sound. Now if only we could get rid of the autofocus sound too! =)

PLZ Help with my camera!!

Hi all, i just got my x1, but the camemra shutter won't activate the camera application! i can only go to programs--videos&pictures to launch the camera, but then again pressing the shutter only focuses but doesn't take a picture. Any ideas as this is software or hardware related? Thanks very much in advance!
I had the same problem when I first got my X1. The solution is very simple
The camera button actually has 2 "levels" of pressing, ie. you need to press it quite hard to launch the camera app, or actually take a picture. So it is really like 2 buttons in 1. If you only press it "softly" like any other button, it won't launch the camera app from Windows and will only adjust the focus inside the camera app instead of actually taking a picture.
So press it down harder, and your problem is solved!
thx sl9! ^_^now it works haha. And one more question, i thought i just post it in this thread.
I flashed roms! and the total amount of ram and phone memory changes? Like in one rom i have 330 usable phone mem and in another i only have 296? how come then?
It's normal. Don't forget that the chefs put all kinds of apps/features that take differents ammounts of RAM/ROM.
yeah, but i mean the total usable amount, shouldn't that be a fixed number? thx
