[Q] Button on lower right

Hi there. I just bought my xperia z1 today. And im wondering what is the use of the button in the lower right part of the phone. I tried it in camera but it didnt capture photo. It only turn on the flash for a couple of seconds then it off agin without capturing it. Whats the use of it then?
Is the Camera Button but you don't know how to use it, it have two time press, at the first click it take focus, when you push harder it take the pictures. If you cannot take photos then the button is faulty and you should go for replacement.
You can actually see camera icon on left side of that button so it's quite clear what is for...

It's a two-step button. 1st step is focusing (and maybe flash depending on the setting), 2nd step, if you push harder, takes the picture.

Camera button

Sometimes de camera button is unintentionally pressed in my pocket. I dont like to disable it. Does anybody know if the camera stays on until the battery is depleted or is there a auto shutoff after a while.
I just tried turning the camera on with the button then just leaving it. It reverted back to homescreen after a minute or so, then my normal display timeout applied.
How do you disable the camera button on the side of the phone??

I can't imagine that you can change such things without root.

If you activate the camera from off (locked state) the phone will just return to the lockscreen after a short period. So no harm.

Are you sure it is the camera button that is pressed and not tap2wake + tap on the camera icon on the lockscreen?
The reason why I'm asking is that for me I have to press quite hard on the camera button in order to trigger the camera, but it only takes three gentle taps on the bottom of the screen to start the camera.

I use a thight pouch case and thought it pushes the button but tap2wake might be the cause. I will try without to see if the camera stays off. Thanks.

As the above poster said, open camera app, go into settings, and turn quick launch off, this disables the physical button on the side, and removes the camera button icon from the lock-screen.
Hope this helps.
Yeah i tried that.
But then AS you said the camera shortcut dissappears... And i use it quite often thats why i asked for a similar solution.... Without dissappearing shortcuts..
Thank you

That doesn't sound good, try giving the phone a reboot, if that does not work turn it off for about 10 minutes and try again. Try Xperia Diagnostics and run all tests. Let us know how you get on.
To go your dialer screen.
Dial *#*# 7378 423#*#*
Service menu will pop up.
In that go to Service Tests>Touch Screen.
Try to touch the top screen if Green Mark is displayed that means your touchscreen is working fine.

Is it showing any sign of life like turning leds on? Or its off? If its off then you have to send to Sony for repair.

are you sure the upper part of the touch screen is working properly? that was my problem and i don't recall dropping my phone too hard to mess up the touch screen....did factory reset and nope it was definitely the touchscreen
My already dropped some times, but there is nothing wrong in its outside and its functionality remains excellent taking this error now. And the status bar down the normal horizontally, so it's not the hardware. It's a software bug and also does little more than a year have the appliance. I've seen some reports of the same problem in the Xperia line on the Internet, just not speak the solution exactly. I took an original firmware and put one here too, I do not know if it has to do with the problem.
the top of the screen is the normal friend, as I said, the landscape mode screen functions normally, even when I'm playing a game, the problem is a software error, if the display hardware would have committed it all
Can I get rid of it, if I install any custom ROM?
It doesn't work... plz help me... my ph is sony xperia z3 model no: D6653
Anyone who cannot swipe down notifications or quick settings, due to a broken digitiser, can follow these instructions:
[emoji7]
Download 'All in one Gestures' app from the playstore.
Go to the 'SWIPE' tab.
Enable.
Under 'Edges' , select 'Top Area'.
Then via the apps settings, choose 'Personalization'.
Now under 'Swipe Area', go into 'Edge Preference.
Make 'Opacity' 0%
With 'Edge Sensitivity' start from 0% and keep moving the slide left until the swipe down works, mine is set at 90px.
'Edge Width' 100%
'Swipe Distance' 0%
Now under 'Touch Feedback' turn off both 'Toast Message' and 'Animation'.
Then turn down 'Vibration Intensity' to '0'
Done.
You now have the screen functioning as normal.
