Yes, after updated to 2.1 x10 mini, when i hold the camera button for like 3 second, the camera button come up. But suddenly after a few day, it doesn't come up. Is it everyone got this?
did you try a reboot? it's also possible that an app is the cause
of course i tried reboot, how do you mean an app is a cause
am using launcher pro, 3d gallery, nothing specific
My x10 mini crashes when i press the camera button after det 2.1 update. Worked fine before.

Keep the button pressed until the phone vibrates. I was scared it didn't work but I think they only changed the way you open up the camera, you gotta keep the button pressed for about a second.
It works dude
Hold it for abit longer. 3 secs and it should start
Camera button doesnt work here on pro 2.1 nordic no matter how long its held.
thread up!
so are we gonna show sony ericsson this bug
am using nordic firmware too
Got the button working. Maybe because i didn't have a camera app set as default it didn't work. But it doesn't work with keypad lock on, and takes 5 seconds to start.
how do you mean by that, what did you do to make it work?
i seem to remember on 1.6 you just had to hold it for a few seconds on the first click now you need to push harder and get it to hit the second click.
Yes you need to to push it harder, on the second click\focus.
Dont know if no default camera app was the problem, but selected camera in 3d galklery and that popped up the box to choose which camera app, selected the stock one and ticked of always.
But its just too slow, also it should work when the keypad lock is on. Now its just faster to select it by icon as any other app.

Hello, before ICS I was using an app (tap tap tap https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.maicas.android.wsleep&feature=search_result)
to turn off screen by pressing a widget instead of pressing the power button, thereby I avoid to be pressing the annoying button
It worked perfectly, but after flashing ICS it isnt working good, when I try to turn off screen, it does it during half a second but then It go back on in pattern lockscreen. If I dont touch the screen it goes off again after a few seconds
Any idea please? thanks a lot
Maybe the app just doesn't work on ICS? A lot don't yet
Have you noticed that this application has been updated 1 year ago??
Try " screen off and lock "

Hi,
I have Xperia Acro S for a week now.
The mobile is generally great.
I just have some symptom which makes me a bit worried.
The story is like this; the phone is locked, I press the power button to open the screen.... normally it works as it should be.... but some times the screen just shows a fade light and nothing appears on the screen except this fade light. I press the power button again, the fade light disappears, then I press the power button again, the screen opens normally... it works fine after then.
Did it happen to anyone? is there a fix?
Thanks alot,
Gano
I mean it doesnt wake up ... just fade light.... but it works after then with the 2nd trial.
sorry for posting several times... just for clarification .... it is like waking up the phone from the standby mode... the backlight works as well as the buttons (settings, home, back) light up.... i push the power button again... the lights disappear and the phone goes to standby mode again... i press the power button once again... the screen responds normally.
Thanks,
any idea ?
Im also experiencing the same issue recently. Ever since the latest update. 2.45.
I think that the homescreen app crashes resulting in that.
So far i havent found any solution yet.
It occurs occasionally to me. Probably once a day.

Same here, it's like the phone is turned off. It wont react for about 30 seconds. If I have a notification, the light will blink and the screen wont turn on, so I know the phone is "working". It's been like this since the last update, never had this before.

Hmm.. Looks like it is a global issue.. Hope it will get solved in the next update..
Thanks alot

I have seen this too occasionally, I think it's usually when I press the power button to sleep phone while an app (browser, facebook, etc) was trying to load data from net.Then when I immediately press again to wake it, the screen does not respond until another try.
Not sure is this bug of latest firmware as I had not spent much time on the old one. But the new firmware definitely heats up more and often even if just doing simple browsing more than old one. Battery seems not so good also. Hope this gets fixed soon.

Hi!
I installed "U20_nAa-14_2.6.29.6-nAa-14" and "MiniCM7-2.2.1-mimmi" on my phone. The mobile network didn't worked, so I tried closing back the bootloader. I made it with "s1tool relock.exe", and it really closed it back. The instructions I followed while doing it, said that I shouldn't start the phone after doing the relocking and disconnecting it from the computer. Accidentally I switched it on, and now it won't turn on. Only the startup vibration and green led flash. If I connect it to the computer it keeps connecting and deconnecting, I don't know how to open up the bootloader again if it's possible at all.
Is it repairable?
Thank you for your help.

Flash THIS with flashtool. The download is about 213 MB, although it may say differently when downloading, just wait till it's finished.
It's original Sony Ericsson Firmware and can be flashed on a device with a locked bootloader. Not sure about the version, although it says 2.1.1.A.0.6, it may be older, but i don't have a U20, so I can't check. It should be possible to upgrade it with Sony Update Service if it's an older version. Good luck.
Thank you!
It worked. Can I ask that too, is there a safest way to solve the no network problem?

Depends on your simlock certificate or how your phone was unlocked from it's original network. There are two or three methods (msm_7227_semc, msm_7227_setool2, and maybe one for omnius too) , just try them and check if you get a signal before you flash any custom firmware. If you don't get a signal, relock it again and try a different method.
Flashtool used to be quite good at figuring out which method worked best, but I don't know if that still supports unlocking 2010 devices. I've got 0.9.13 and there is a BLU (Bootloader UnLock) button.. just try that
I opened it again with msm7227_semc, bacuse the others didn't worked, and installed it again. Now everything is fine, but the home button and the screen lock still not works:/ I think I'll leave it this way, and not risk one more time my network connection.
Thanks for your help.

If it's unlocked and the network is still there you can do whatever you want with it There's no need to lock it ever again so you can experiment with kernels and roms all you want.
What was the matter with the home-button and the screenlock? Do the other buttons work and is the screen ok when you slide out the keyboard?

The other buttons are all fine, and the home looks fine too, just the only way to use it is to turn on the screen with it. Which hasn't got a lock on it, when I push any button, it switches right to the home screen. Turning on lock patterns and others didn't helped. Maybe can I use external applications to substitute the functions?

Hmm, sounds a bit like the ROM doesn't want to go to sleep. Maybe you could reboot into recovery, and wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik-cache (from the advanced menu). I'm sure you already did that, but it can't hurt to do it again, and see if that fixes the problem
The phone should enter deep-sleep after about 5 seconds after the screen is turned off, in which case the only way to wake up the screen are the power-button and the home-button. pressing menu or back should keep the phone asleep. If after about 10 or 20 seconds you can still wake up the screen with the back or menu buttons you might want to check if there's an app keeping the phone awake.
Done factory reset and cache wipe already multiple times. Just realized how annoying is the dysfunctional home button, so I tried MiniCM7-2.2.0, MiniCM9-3.0.5 with nAa-11,13,14 and nAa-ics-04. Unfortunatley didn't worked the home button or the screen lock with none of them. At first time, I installed the MiniCM10, but the phone was relatively slow with it and buzzed, so I switched to MiniCM7.
Screen timeout and turnoff delay both set to immediately, but even the camera button can turn on the screen no matter how many time elapses. Can the original MiniCM apps keep it awake? I installed a task killer, but no change.

If it happens on all ROMS, maybe it's your home-button keeping the phone alive, as in that it makes continuous contact. Wouldn't know what to do about that though. Does it happen on stock firmware too?

No, when I restored it with the Sony Update Service everything worked fine on the stock 2.1, and it is still possible to turn on the screen with the home button, but it's other functions are out.
Wow, this time I didn't installed the gapps like it was written in the CM wiki (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_mimmi), both the home button and screen lock works. Why it is written in the "Install CM for mimmi" article if the gapps on the download page is for MiniCM10?
Whatever, shame on me, I should've just take it seriously, and not follow the instructions blindly.:silly:
Thanks for all of your help.:good:

I'm used to my Nokia 808 which allows for the Camera button to jump directly to Camera mode even when the phone is locked. With the S4 Zoom I have to hit power once, swipe then long press camera button. I was wondering if anyone has figured out a way to assign the Camera button to launch Camera app even when locked? I'm sure there must be a button app out there than can be mapped to do this?
ANyone?
Cheers,
Dunker
Haven't heard about this. The fastest way is setting a camera shortcut on lockscreen.

there is an option when you swipe the lockscreen the camera open automatic.

I saw that option, but it's not really ideal, sometimes I just want to use the phone as a phone and not a camera, closing down camera everytime is annoying.
The Nokia 808 worked by long press on camera button and straight to camera (even if locked), or you could swipe screen etc and use the phone like a phone. This was ideal for all circumstances.
Right now I have set to have no lock screen and then just hit the power button once and then long press of camera to get going, but I would prefer just to set the camera shutter button to launch Camera at any time (other than device being powered off).
Perhaps there is a button remapping app?
Spooky!
I had the same thought this afternoon - not actually sure why, was just in an idle moment!
It would be a good and sensible option to have but I've got no answer, other than to have a link on your home screen or just long press the camera button after inputting your PIN code.

I just bought the official Galaxy S4 Zoom case. It has one of those screen flip covers. I noticed when you pull the flip back to access the phone it automatically comes on, therefore once you press the camera button after this yer straight in.
Now i don't know how the flip cover works, whether it's like slightly magnetic and sends a signal etc, but this idea dawned on me...
If you had a simply cheap silicone case (or a screen protector) and had yer S4Z facing down on the desk, when you picked it up and turned it over it would automatically come on, then you press the camera button to launch the camera. That might work. Of course if it's in your pocket then that might not work...
Unfortunately the official case obscures the battery compartment and microsdcard slot, but worst of all the tripod mount! I could live with the others being covered but not the tripod mount. I'm going to attempt to drill a hole in the right location for the tripod mount... wish me luck!
Hi all,
just got the grey version, really loving the body colour!!!
I tried to press the camera button (even at locked screen mode),
it has no problem, just hold long enough like 1 second.
however the problem is when the camera is launched, the button seems not working at any sense for 1 minute.
even i long press it.
it will not focus or do anything at all. I can only press the screen button (the circle white button on the right) to take photos.
Is it normal?
I have already reset the camera setting once, and issues stays.
Does it happen to you too?
Not normal. May be a hw issue.
I have this issue too, don't think it's a HW problem because it's opening camera.
There is a setting for camera key in camera settings. Off, launch only or launch/capture

I can find this option, but my question is when camera is launched, the button should be able to take photos, but it just not working for 10 or more seconds.
(1 minute may be a bit exaggerated.)
Something is up. Mine immediately takes the picture when pressed.
It confirmed with software defect.
exchange another xperia immediately.
