Camera auto-shut-down - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all. I have a little problem. When I turn on camera it shut down itself after 30 seconds. It is a little problem, because I love to take macro shots, and sometimes it gets a lot of time to do a good photo with focus in good "position" (I don't know how it's called in english). Is there any way to change it? I mean to make it not auto shut down?

you are on stock?maybe try to wipe Camera data from Settings-Apps-All apps-Camera

If you have root I think by editing the thermanager.xml (or something like that) can be easily fixed

Half time of a second?
What's happening with people these days...
Your either very impatient(half a second)... Or you have a problem with your handset.

So weird, I don't have such issue.
Or you can also reduce animation time, wish makes things seem like faster.
Settings > Developer Options >
Change to "Animation Scale to .5x for:
Window Animation Scale
Transition Animation Scale
Animator duration scale
=)
U definitely high man :banghead:

What kernel/ROM do you use? If you use CM 10.1 then this is a known bug.
I use (now) stock .253 and Doom kernel

Never face this. Don't have such issue, is that half time faster than your iPhone4 really important?

Are you using lockscreen replacement app like widgetlocker or lockerpro? I too ha've noticed similar problem esp when I am using 3rd party apps.
The screen wakeup is worse if you are trying to turn it on with in few seconds of pressing power bbutton. Coming from iPhone I found that super annoying

Make a video showing us how slow. It's either a problem with your handset or your expecting instant reactions. I'm sorry to inform you quantum computing is still only theoretical

I have noticed that my sleep/wake time increased after updating to .253.
It is most likely due to the phone being in deep sleep which is a good thing. Less battery waste.
But think of it this way: when your alarm rings in the morning do you get up instantly? lool

I think is better you switch back to iPhone in that case.

[Q] Blurry shots at night

Hey guys, I have problem with photos at night,or dark conditions. They all are blurry. I mean, I have Galaxy S4 ,S3 ,Note 2 and when is night,tap on the screen means, light on camera turn on and object at dark is focused. While HTC One cant do it. Tap on the screen at dark does nothing and photo is blurry. Is there any solution how can I do perfect photos like Galaxy series? I also tried Camera FX ,but its the same. Still cant focus with light
Maybe is user error. Simple as just not doing it right. If not we need more info than that... Like come on how can I help you when all you say is "I'm a newbz and mah camera won't focus"?
Give me rom, kernel, camera app settings and maybe someone would be nice enough to help you.

All stock, not rooted.
Lol, this is not only my problem, but every user of HTC One get this problem. Im asking for solution. Just try that. Try taking picture at night, when on One is only black screen. How can U make a photo, which is not blurry? Tapping on the screen to focus is useless, cause it cant focus.. Its weird and sad. If I could do same as on the Galaxy, tap on the screen uses light and that means it will focus on objects at night, so U have great picture. But One, which has better picture at night cause of ultrapixles, cant do that?
Enough to know whats the problem?

Stock 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 because there has been quite a few updates that increases camera performance. Maybe some pictures could help.
If you are properly focusing on something after pressing your finger on the screen it should say "AE and AF locked".

Yeah,if I tap on the screen,it says ae and af locked. But it doesnt solve the problem. Try it. U will have blurry photo too. It just cant focus at night
So, I found on the internet same issue..Everybody got this problem, I think all HTC devices, but lot of people dont know about it..There was no software update which repair this..One guy got third part app, which using light-torch ,so it can focus in dark too..But he said its bit laggy, not as HTC's camera app:-/ He also tried different ROMs, nothing works..Shame on HTC..Dont understand why they cant do it like Samsung..
me too am having the same problem. am using vipers 5.2.1 and night pictures are just bad even with the powerful dual flash on the sensation

Xperia T/Tx/V official android 4.3 First Impression

I made this post to let everyone share his impression about the long waited android 4.3 To our beloved phones T/TX/V
share your thoughts =)
and Gratz lets w8 for our last hope the Kitkat =D
Update
after flashing the usa FTF i just used my mobile for 10mins and seriously i got a new mobile now! nicely done by Sony
Smooth and Graphic is eye blessing just gotta w8 till get rooted and get the smaller navigation bar cuz this one is kinda too big
i love the call animation too It`s a new phone now =) Gratz to everyone
Tx Owner
First we won't get kitkat and in March our 18 months are over and Sony has yet made it to get itself out of having to give us kitkat...
Now 4.3. I don't know I expected more. SP got the gloves mode for example and I don't know whether it is just the Vodafone version why aren't we getting an update center?
The cam looks good but lacks of functionality, for example the tap to focus and make picture is gone and the auto mode being chosen every time I open the app is not really optimal.
The lockscreen is a bit rudimentary but we all knew that before yes we got widgets but honestly what do they offer if I have to watch out not opening Walkman or when swiping left and right. Better optional app buttons and to have them on the lower screen half.
Then the Docomo status bar better than what we had before but definitely many steps behind other uis in that case.
Worst for me is that the buttons for navigation are almost third of the screen... Would it kill Sony to make that customizable?
My main parts I'm not yet updating and waiting for the modders to do their best
My Impression
It snappy ,looks nice ram usages is poor I don't know about battery life yet , sound quality seems to be enhanced :louder ,deeper bass, higher treble all round improvement P.S. for those who don't know first start up will be a tad laggy
Rep
It feels much faster than 4.1.2. I love the lockscreen and the design

I took the share your thoughts part as invitation to share my thoughts on both subjects mentioned.
And I advise you to just let people have their opinion and if I needed to release my frustration over that subject respect that too. Otherwise get out of the internet as you'll get offended every second website you visit.

Maybe no update centre is a hint that we will not get updated to kit kat?
Stamina mode and camera
- Stamina mode looks like its 2 versions back. It lacks of customization which is in SP and Z series. Besides the (inaccurate) timer there is nothing new. That mode was previously in 4.1.2 just now it looks better.
- Camera - first impression is that it makes better pictures in low light conditions but I cant find settings in menu for resolution and quality - itll be nice if someone tell me where it is.

I didn't know about this. I rely on tap to focus (as someone who knows absolutely nothing about taking a good picture)

I passionately hate the current Xperia lock screen. While I like using other lockscreens, sometimes the default lock screen over-rides it anyway, I think when memory is low. I know I can use a pin, pattern, etc, but I want to be able to look at my phone for a very few short seconds without all the fiddling. Worst Xperia lock screen yet. Even the X10 lock screen was better.

I'm glad this is present, my partner's SP has had it since updating to 4.1 and I've always been a little envious

It doesn't?? Now that surprises me, considering the new walkman app is included in the feature list, and the new walkman app (at least for the SP) does have built in music unlimited :-/

You're most likely in Super auto mode... Got to switch to manual mode first and then enter the settings

to me it seems a bit laggy compared to the .278 leaked version
i see a few bugs
First of all, what happened to the stock browser. is it android policy to pass to chrome in 4.3? I dont know about you, bt i dont feel any butter maybe the firmware still needs to get the hang of the device, vut for the moment it feels a bit laggy. Most important: What the hell happened to the volume bar?! i press the volume keys and ony a small grey rectengle appears, no indicator of volume level, i can hear the beeps increassing volume but i dont see it, and if you are in an app like RR3 it doesnt work! anybody had the same problem?

Stranfe Wifi problems

Hello,
I hope someone can help.
I got a Z1, with slow WiFi, but wait! It is not that simple! Everytime I change something in WiFi settings in my Frit.Box, I get one day full speed. Than after everything rebooted. It slows down to around 20Kbs up to 2Mb.
I first thought it is my crappy Fritz Box. So I tried out the Dlink DIR-600. Which, oh wonder, does the same. So root cause: It is the Z1.
After a day off, my WiFi is like in the dark age.
AND NO: Only two or three other Networks
And no: No wall, i can stand 1m behind the box.
Anyone got any tips or know why this might happen?
Edit: I´m thinking to give CM a try if it might fix the WiFi issue?
Well, i have a similar problem like yours. Z1 drops from my router all the time and the connectivity sucks!
Maybe we should use ROMs to fix it

My phone is not unlocked and not rooted, I don´t want to root and unlocmk just to find out that it does not help :/
What I could narrow down is: I see full bars on my phone, but as soon I try to connect, i goes down to 1 bar of WiFi. And the box is just like two meters away...sometimes I even can´t connect...

Yes, it takes 3-4 secs for BE to kick in. I like BE because it makes the color of the pictures more vivid. If you pay full attention to the picture, you should be able to see the difference. But some pictures are more apparent than others.
