camera/focus key not working - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey, it seems to be an odd problem, the camera key and focus key dosen't work
i can only launch the camera after a very power pressing, but cant take pictures
when i have checked the test code *#*#7378423#*#* no focus detected and the camera needed to be pressed real hard in order to be recognized!
is it a hardware problem or software? although i have updated my z1to fw 157

Camera hard button not working

I don't really use the camera on my Kaiser, but I've just notice that on pushing the camera button it does not start up. No problem selecting from the program list.
Check that the button was set up correctly in the settings screen. I then changed the button to operate another program, but that doesn't work either. Somethings up with the button itself. I do get the "audio click" confirming the button has been pressed but nothing else.
Any ideas?

From what you say it sounds like you are well aware of how that switch works and that it has two levels of operation (half press and full press). With full press - required to start the camera, it really is a deep press, going down below casing level.
I assume though you know this and have tried pushing in as deep as it will go. It is obviously at least partially working hence the audio sound.
To be honest a hard reset might well fix this and if not the a repair under warranty for a hardware fault could be done.

That's it. It works now. What's the half press for?

Half a press focuses the camera and then a full press takes the picture.
Previous models didn't have auto-focus

Yes indeed, it's also configurable in settings so you can change the half and full press behaviour.

Camera button acts like volume button - FroyoMod 2.9

Hey guys and gals
Been reading these forums but this is my first post.
I can't post in developer section so this is the problem.
I installed FroyoMod 2.9 and now my camera button acts like volume button and I can't use camera button for taking photos.
It could be as simple as 'turn of this feature' but I tried everything including installing some other camera apps.
Thanks!
hate to bet the cynic here - but this happened prior to my phone effectively bricking (stuck in bootloader). could be a broken button?
software seems unlikely to me.
Don't think so because after i enter the camera app by clicking the on screen icon it works (camera button then works).
yeah, i never said it was your software, your software is probably fine.
your hardware ( camera button ) may be broken, though.

[Q] Galaxy s i9000 touch keys not working

Hello,
My home key wasn't working because the cable was broken. I've purchased a new part from OEM atleast that's what says the site from which I bought it. I bought the whole module with vibrating motor and fixed the home button issue. However now the touch keys are not working. I've tryed with new stock firmware JVS and JVT, also tryed with SGS Tools (hard reset). Still the keys don't even light up. I've done a lot of research before this post but cant find a solution. The phone still has guarantee but I dont think they will accept it .... Thank you all in advance !
I'm sorry if there are some spelling errors, but I really need help.
FIXED !!!
Dial this into your phone *#*#2663#*#* and update touch keys FW.
thank you it's working with this code : *#*#2663#*#*
great.
glad you've got your touchscreen buttons working again.
WARNING: DO NOT use this code if your touchscreen buttons are working as it will disable the buttons.
i dialed that code and only menu key started working.
back Key and Home Button still not working.
any one please help.
