Camera hardware button on the device of Kaiser

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.

Temp fix/bypass for slow camera (Kaiser)

Hello guys,
I dont know if this bypass is somewhere else on the forum, but i found this bypass for our laggy/slow camera:
1 Turn on the camera of your kaiser
2 Now it will be laggy and slow... (sigh.. driver)
3 Now pres the power button 1 time (screen goes black)
4 Wait 5-10 seconds, and press the power button again.
5 Fast camera!!
Greets,
Anouar

Thanks for your attempt to be helpful, but this has been posted numerous times. Wish the camera could be fixed for good, but yes, this helps sometimes although it can also darken the picture quality.

IDEA screen lock widget

Hey does anyone know of a widget that i could put on my homescreen to put my phone to sleep... i feel like having to hit the power button everytime is a bit annoying. Trackball wake takes care of getting the screen on but what about off?
Thanks guys
Any ideas? Or how hars would it even be possible?

So you want to replace pressing a single button, with pressing another single button..

I can understand his concerns, since people've reported that their power buttons have gotten worn off/need longer to press/etc. It's why I've taken up using Reboot Control for rebooting and powering down and Lockbot to press any button to wake up the phone. Another widget or app for turning off the screen would be great too, IMO.

am also having to use reboot control for this matter, having an extra standby widget would be perfect.

After wake with trackball, this is second most wanted for me (and i'll not touch power button again). There is a thread in app's section, but no replies till now. Can it be so difficult???

Even if there's no way to directly turn off the screen, there should be some way around it by doing something like saving the current screen timeout time, setting the screen timeout time to 0 (or somewhere between 0 and 1) so the screen will turn off, then set a timer for like 1 second to reset the screen timeout time to the original time?

Will pressing any button work with the Nexus One's non physical buttons (back, menu, home, search)?

Not the capacitive buttons, nope, just the volume rocker and the tracknipple.

Aww thought it might be possible to use a button which wouldn't become loose or unresponsive after too much use.

I feel like the power button would benefit in te long run from not being pressed multiple times per day and much more convienent to tap a widget on screen

I'm all for it. either an app or a widget, some short cut that can be added to the home screen to put it to sleep.

Ha! Tracknipple... funny as sh!t!!

maybe even double click trackball or long press one of the soft keys along the bottom of the screen

A widget would be a cool option instead of beating the power button to death

Why not just shorten the up time to less then 15 seconds?

Then you have too switch the time whenever your reading the news or a text longer than15 seconds.

So is a widget like this even possible?

Any news on this matter? Is it possible?

Second that. It seems my power button is beginning to fail already.

[Q] any apps to replace power button for screen lock-unlock??

I feel ,there is some issue with power button on my tab7.7 , because when i press power button to on or off screen..Sometimes screen shows like rainbow color scattering ...or yellowish bright dots mark, like sand all over on display with black/blank background .
i have to press power button again to get it back normal..So seems there is a issue with power button or power supply to display.. so to make minimal use of power button.. i am looking for any apps... which replaces power button with volume button for screen on-off(lock-unlock) only..
please help ..i have no much idea about..
thanks in advance.

Lock & Screen Off Widget by fsinib. But there are many others.

im using Smart Screen On Pro version and it works awesome

thank you both guys for the suggestions
Lock & Screen Off Widget by fsinib ,is not what , i am looking for, but Smart Screen On LITE..is what exactly.. i am looking for.. i tried it ..but not satisfied with its response, so i kept looking for another one .. and found TapTap app. .. seems it responses better than Smart Screen On .. but even not 100% accurate, but surely..it reduces almost 90% use of power button..

TapTap doesn't support ICS. However I've found Smart Screen works flawlessly on ICS. (I have a custom ICS rom called QuickSilver)

[Q] Home Button

Wondering if anyone else is having this problem, when I click on the home button to wake the phone it takes 4-6 seconds before it takes me to the lock screen. Any thing I can do to fix this?
Thanks

Just a thought, you might want to check apps like my magazine and S voice settings. They both have options to open via double pressing the home button. If these are enabled the home button may delay to see if a second press is coming. (Although 4-6 seconds seems excessive) I disabled that option in those app settings and have no delay when waking using the home button.

What if the s voice settings weren't the problem with home botton before the KitKat update ?

Removed your sdcard and test, if you dont have one nevermind

Does this always take a long time? As in if you have device on and press power button to turn off. Then immediately press the home button. Does it take a long time?
Maybe your device is in a really deep sleep and it needs to wake up. If it is in a deep sleep, that's a good thing. If we had a better kernel we could control the situation better. Unfortunately we can't get one at the moment.
