Hello,
This is my first Sony phone, so sorry if I'm asking a simple second question.
1) When using the phone underwater, it's great being able to take video and zoom, but the feature is pointless if we can't take photos because the screen won't work. Can Sony not be give the power button a mode that turns it into a camera shutter button?
2) When using a number of apps I've need to search. On my old HTC I could simply tap the search button. Is there no way that I can do a search in apps like Tweetdeck for example?
3) Could you please tell me how to add words to the dictionary that aren't in it already?
4) How do I sort my mobile bookmarks on Chrome alphabetically?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
I just want to share my app with community - the app is called SpyCam and it's pretty simple - you can use it for taking pictures using the main camera in predefined interval. The pictures are then saved into Saved pictures folder in Pictures Hub. But what is so unique on this app - it works under lockscreen - that's right, you start the photo shooting, press the on/off button to turn off the screen, plant is somewhere and let it take photos secretly
Note the app must be in foreground when locking using the on/off button to take pictures under lockscreen, it can't work in background.
I tried to put it on Marketplace, but it failed two times because "it appears that this application promotes spying". According to the certification guy it's not allowed in certain countries to have such app. Strangely there is lot of similar apps in MP for recording sound under lockscreen, so I don't know where is the problem.
I had big plans with this app, because the idea of taking pictures under lockscreen is quite tempting, but with the fail during cert process I don't have strength to develop it further. (Skyrim is more important right now I got even somewhere my technology demo based on SpyCam for storing taken pictures on SkyDrive, so it basically works as a live webcam - you can watch what's going on in front of the phone on Internet, but it's not stable enough for general release.
Feel free to use it under condition you wont try to publish similar app on marketplace Let me know, how it works. Note although it's not 100% stable, it should just work most of the time. I'm using there a bit of thread magic to handle all that PhotoCamera callbacks and async calls for taking photos and storing them, so nothing is guaranteed
And one more thing, you just need Mango and regular dev unlock. Interop unlock is not necessary Tested on HTC HD7
Don't hesitate to share it using Twitter or other media
my address: twitter.com/martinsuchan
Edit: uploaded two screenshots
Also my second try in MP used different name for the app: 'myCam', but they rejected it with the same message
Edit: This app does NOT work on WP8 as I have just discovered, it even causes freeze or random reboot!
Good work Sir!
Shame the Marketplace Police have no sense of humour

cool app , thanks man. upload in marketplace
Works exactly as you said . I am getting a video done will post it here. Reviewed it on WPXBOX. com However I dont get to understand how to make it work under lock screen. I tried pressing the camera button when locked but nothing happened.
Check out the video here.
Under lockscreen
You need to check the "run under lockscreen" option in settings and then restart the app (press Back button in the main screen and start is again).
Then start the shooting (optionally wait for the first pic to be sure), and then press the on/off button. Now it should take photos in selected time interval.
Note the app must be in foreground when locking using the on/off button to take pictures under lockscreen, it can't work in background.
If you have selected 5s interval wait about 20s and then press On/Off button again, unlock the screen and if everything worked as expected there should be new 3 or 4 pictures
this app is great and cool and has a big potantial
well done (graphics, functionalities...)
ty
but can i wish a request, could you add a feature to enable flash/led on photos? (i know that this make the app less spyfull... but i'd like to keep pics during nighttime, i.e. of my pets while sleeping or to see what i did while dreaming ^^)
fyi
tried on omnia7 interopped latest fw
Thanks. Yes it took me time to realize on this. But loving your app here.
You might think of integrating it with Dropbox or a cloud service to give option to someone to upload it right there. Just an idea

I realize some countries may not allow it, but couldn't you just submit to certain countries?
Rename the app to "Time Lapse Capture" and change the description to be as such. Problem solved
Very good thank you
Awesome app with great potential
As suggested in a previous post I would resubmit as a time-lapse photography app, that's what I have downloaded it for, I will test it while climbing mountains and then relive my route after. What's the chances of of getting a 5 min interval option. Great work don't give up on getting it on the MP pls
Hi,
Your app sounds like a good idea. Will try it.
Don't give up, good luck with the re-submit!
Great app!
Have great protential too bad MS isn't into great apps :-(
Nice app, thanx

1. Give us more info
2. Go to camera, open it, and click "camera switch" icon betwen flashlight and option button.
3. This is android, its the same on every phone,dont pay attention on this so much because this is normal behaviour. But if you still want to remain closed, use greenify app from google play store.

1-i found that many people had this vibration issue with xperia z1 and they had to fix it in sony company or replace it with another one.
2-what i meant by 'i cannot find it' is that the icon does not appear i know its place between the flash and camera settings but it does not appear there. Does the front camera needs to be instaled? Does is it need a driver or an app? i need to use the camera and i would really appreciate it if you help me make it work.
3-thank you i will try that app from play store.
Place pictures of your camera app please
this is the picture
Try to switch to Manual....
It doesn't work. Even in Diagnostics > test device.
Try *#*#7378423*#*# to check front camera. It seem that camera is faulty or just ROM that disable it...
Try to reflash full FTF .108 using FlashTool (latest version +latest FlashTool driver)
Invalid code

It's mean *#*#SERVICE#*#* or *#*#7378423#*#*
If your firmware cannot detect front camera, try to factory reset first
If still doesn't work, try repair via PC Companion or Flashtool with full wipe ( full wipe = delete all user data)
If problem still persist, you need to send back your phone to repair
I backed up my photos and videos using Sony pc companion i repaired my phone and still vibration and front camera do not work like i have to send the phone back but unfortunately i have no warranty i guess i'll have to use it without vibration and front camera (it is probably broken).
Now i have another question please i want to know how to install apps dirrectly to SD card and move installed apps there. Android 4.4.4
Hi. first time in forums.
and my old phone had android 2.3, so this is my real first SMARTphone.
Its a first gen moto X, and i have a doubt.
First I open any application and I minimize it, so
When i am in any menu, playstore menu, whatsapp conversation (inside the conversation) , etc, and and I press 2 times followed the arrow "back"
before back to the app box, the las app (opened in the first step) opens and closes automatically.
if I do it slow, the problem disappears.
Sorry for my english, i have a video for better explication. In this time, the app chosed its Facebook. (sec 00:17 in the video).

Thanks you.
Mine does this too, on occasion. It will "flash" or briefly show an app that I am no longer using. It usually seems to be a settings screen, but sometimes it's so fast I can't even see what it is.
It is probably a bug, but not one that really bothers me too much so I looked into it too much.
It's a bug but it's not specific to Moto.It's the misterious way android handles back button

sorry, but how u know? do u have the same problem?
Yes,I do have it.Had it also on my Nexus 5 with lollipop.
I created this app for my own use because i feel that i misclick the recent app button quite often while playing some landscape game like vainglory which is quite annoying.
This is a very simple application, it would be straight to use it, click on the disable button to disable the recent app button or click on the restore button to restore it.
Note** after click on either of the 2 button your phone will be reboot immediately, so please save your work before proceed.
Note** This app required root.
Installation guide
1) Download the apk and the rar file.
2) Unrar the rar file and extract the whole folder to the root of your internal memory.
3)Enjoy
Awesome app! It totally ruins the VainGlory game on my phone and tablet when it reloads. I wanna start playing on my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 (SM-T320) but this doesn't work. Any way you could figure out how to get it to work on a 5.1.1 stock Google rom?
Thanks again
Hey Dude!
I'm making a game and was wondering if you could share how you implemented this.
It would be sweet to be able to amalgamate this function directly into the game,
Cheers!
I seriously need to disable the function of recently used apps. I can't even make a call or text while it keeps changing to the recently used app and it minimize and maximize few times. I don't need this app. This is a Samsung A310
Um you guys do realise that the game tools can disable back and recent keys?
Help
Hi, I do not know if this post is still active.
I'm having a problem, my galaxy s6 flat recently started to constantly activate the recent button.
I have tried everything to disable it, when I comment "#" on the 254 APP_SWITCH key line it deactivates all the buttons, including the power button.
I do not know if this is a sansung problem, but I'm desperate and I can not find a solution.
Is there any possibility to disable or put a new function on the button?
sorry my bad english, I'm using google translate to communicate
tks
I am sorry if this has been asked before, but I am struggling on the phone and on the go, and I confess I am having a hard tim multitasking with this one.
For those who know about the Samsung camera, where you used to long press the shutter button and the camera would snap up to 100 photos of a subject whilst in motion, say someone jumping up and down, and you would be able to chose the best one of the entire jumping session...how can I make this with the Huawei camera?
Thank you so much.

Same with the p20 pro

How is it the same? When I press it... Once or long press it... Only one photo gets snapped...
It is the same, long pressing the button takes multiple shots in quick succession. Burst shoot is an option in settings but was already enabled on mine. It shows as one shot in the gallery until you open the photo, then they all show up in series
Enable Burst in settings

Yes, I have found out now why I wasn't getting that option before, because my settings were for 40 MP.
and it only works when you have them on 10 MP
Thank you so much!
