My Physical Camera Button doesn't have a function...
I just don't really know if theres a malfunction on the physical button my sola or I just didn't know how to press it??? Double Press? Single Fast Press? It only just flicker my flash and refocusing my shots but doesn't captured anything at all....
I'm still within on my warranty stage... if I'm planning to replace it with another 2012 xperia what would be the best option.
Thanks for enlighten me

Has the problem existed from the beginning?
Try this:
Open camera. Push menu, go to second menu screen and push "Capturing method". If "Camera key only" is not selected, select it. Try the physical button now.
If it didnt work try pushing the button half way. After it has focused the image push the button all the way down.
If all this didnt help try "Factory reset" option in the settings. If that also does not help go to warranty.
Let me know how it goes.
Yup i've already experience it since the day I purchase it, Hence i'ts my first time to held an xperia phone...
Just I thought I only needed more time, exploring it...and yes i've already seen the three button options...still nothing happen....
And last i've tried the factory reset...
Still no hope at all...
Further more it become too slow now, my wifi didnt have stronger grip it always get disconnected
So i'm I think im decided now to replace it now...
But can I ask one thing among the xperia family 2012 - high end range in terms of specs... i know xperia sola is mid-range phone with extra ordinary features, cheap, a promise of an ICS update OTA.
How about xperia S? Anyone got a bad Xperience with it
I'm really looking with tough specs but suitable and stable for other third party rom.
Thank u for the help

For all those who think their sony xperia sola's physical camera key is not working. Actually there is no manufacturing default. it is double press camera key. The problem is that the key is very hard. On second press you have to press it really hard. there is nothing else.......
hope it'll solve you problem.
It's just really really hard to press it.
I first thought mine was broken too, but it's kind of hard for every sola.
It is a two steps Button, for the second step you have to press it with all your might, it will take a picture.
However, this gets better after a few pictures taken, but it will never be as easy as the xs camera key.

Hi I noticed that some galaxy devices have the ability to screen capture just by pressing buttons. I was wondering if you could do this with the US 5.0 version? The stock rom comes with a screen capture program with it but I still find no way to do it. does anyone know how?
I know the US 5.0 version does not do it. "Screen Capture Shortcut" work fine.
That is what I use! ha but it's weird it has the system app. Why would they put it in if you cant lol? Oh well, thanks though
What system app? I don't see one on my 5.0.
I could be mistaking it or could be something else but it shows as com.sec. android.app.screencapture
On several occasions, I some how triggered the screenshot, but unfortunately I still cannot figure out what I did to take the screenshot. So the feature is probably functional.
For now, I use the screenshot app on the market.
See I knew there was a way of it was there hmm have to figure it. try all possible combinations!
I found this post in the captivate forum talking about it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475988
The information seems to be correct. I took a look at the code and might spend some time implementing an notification area button that does screen capture.
Try screenshot ux trial... It is really good! You can crop and edit.
Just figured it out how to do it on my way home. This is how I trigger the screen capture on YP-G70 (international)
1. Press and hold home button using your left thumb.
2. Then press and hold back button using your right thumb.
3. Release both thumbs.
4. This is the hard part. Do step 1 to 3 in less than half second. It doesn't work if you do it too fast or too slow.
If it works, it will save the screenshot under the folder "ScreenCapture" in your internal SD card.
I don't blame you if you cannot reproduce it. It requires a fast finger .
It works also on the Galaxy Player 4.0, but i don't know, where it saves the pics.
Edit: The location where it saves the pics is: /sdcard/ScreenCapture
I've tried this several times with several different timings on my ROM and it does not appear to work. This could be because of the ROM, it doesn't work on U.S., or it's another key combo. If anyone gets this to work on U.S. 5.0 please let us know...
I am agree with you. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 5.0 (spain), and with quick fingers using home button and back button, you get a screencapture

It works! Great stuff, thank you!
Wondering if someone can help, on my Xperia s when I am in my home screen or any other app and I press and hold the camera button it will launch the camera app.
But on my girlfriends Xperia s this doesn't work. (launching camera in lock screen still works)
Does anyone know where the settings for this is?
Thanks

Try launching the camera app, then click on Settings -> Quick launch

Tried that, but that seems to be the settings for launching from the lock screen.
Maybe due her launcher? It isn't a different configuration on the launcher?

I may not know the answer, but it's worth trying to re-flash the unit without wiping your user data.
The same thing for me! Quick shot works good.... but many times when i press the camera button with unlocked phone or in menu....the apllication doesn't start.....i must re-press 3/4 times.

This seems to be the issue I am having, pressing a few times eventually loads the camera. Have tried reflashing, and makes no difference.
One thing I have found was that in the service menu and software info it says no file found for memory card. And touch firmware version as 6, while my working Xperia s says 7
On my Xperia S i have file for memory card (in the service menu) and touch firmware version 7 also.... but the problem with camera app happens very often!

This looks like a software issue as the camera button works perfectly fine and quick launch for the camera works everytime when in the lock screen.
I have reflashed with different versions of firmware so I guess the memory card and the touch firmware versions are physically different hardware I suppose.
But this is just really bugging me at the moment!
Do you guys hold the button for like one second? Cause the camera starts only when i'm holding it a little.
Just touching the button has no effect in locked mode or on home screen for me.
thank you to Condi, I had upgraded my tablet s to ICS. everything work fine.
except taking screen shot. I had read from Sony blog that there's new feature for taking screen shot by pressing "Power"+"Volume down". I tried press it but nothing happen. I can't find any setting for this as well. anyone can give an advice?
Thanks in advance.

Same problem here
you have to hold both buttons for one second
it the volume bar is shown reboot again and then it should work... had the same problem here but after a while it worked ^^
Working fine here. You do need to keep the buttons pressed for like half a second or so, though...
thank you very much , it works now!
I had to push this 2 button at exactly same time. (cannot press one button first follow with another) and hold it for a while.
+1 for such simple action Thanks
sweet, that was an awesome add on sony did for the tablet
Screenshot with power+volume down actually a native ICS function. It's available on any ICS rom.
hello to everyone,
i recently bought an xperia sola and i am very happy with that. After some days usage i discover some issues with my phone and i believe you can help me.
First of all the camera doesn't work with the camera button and to be more specific when i push the camera button does nothing and if i get into the camera app and push the button again i cant get any picture. So i changed the settings of the camera app and now i can take pictures by touching the screen.
whats wrong with the button? Is that a hardware problem or is software?
Also when i make some phone calls the picture of my friends those i choosed to appear when they call me some times are full screen but the most of the time are too small. The pics i choosed are taken from my phone camera.
Do you know anything about this?
Thank you very much and sorry for my bad english

i dunno abt the pic problem
for the hard camera button, u have to dig it in reeeeal deep for it to take a pic
(which by the way causes ur hand to shake so unclear pic--better continue to use onscreen button
It took me over a week to realise that the camera button has two positions (like the shutter button on most digital cameras). I first thought the camera was very buggy or that I had set it to some mode where it wouldn't take a picture unless focus was good or something like that.
So, just make sure you press it all the way down.
As for the pictures I have no idea, I never make calls (I'm deaf).
thank you guys for the answers
So I was searching for the greater part of the last month, how to fix the home button lag issues.
And while disabling the double tap and long press questionably helps the situation, it doesn't actually fix the root cause: Oneplus' shoddy coding.
The issue is the Oneplus launcher. Simple fix is to download Google's Google now launcher from the app store. You could also use another ROM, but then you lose the fingerprint reader/laser focusing.
Bonus for you, if you have Xposed installed is that with Xposed GEL you can modify many of the launchers settings to your liking ... As long as Google doesn't break the GEL developers' app.
Hope this helps some of you. I'm now very happy with how this Oneplus two runs. And although we shouldn't have to do this out of the box, it's not too hard if you put in the effort and patience (plus you'll learn a thing or two about your phone).
Here's my configuration: Oxygen OS 2.1.1, Boeffla beta5 hotplug 2-4 & 0-4, Google now launcher, Xposed with Gravitybox.
I have been on Nova launcher from day one, and not a single hint of lag on the home button.
I loved to get rid of the this bug, but I really like oxygens shelf. In fact, it's the only thing that isn't crappy about their rom. Any chance to get this oder something similar with another launcher?
I have tried nova and action launcher sometimes my home button just stops working for sometime even the fingerprint scanner stops working.. I had to reflash 2.1 zip! And finally it my home button was back and then yesterday suddenly my home button again stopped working and I was pretty much frustrated abt this issue so I just removed the screen protector and it worked and even my fingerprint scanner suddenly became more awesome as it was just 80-85 % before.. now it's 99%.. I don't wanna return my phone as I heard it is some problem with the one plus fingerprint drivers.. And even few of 'em who got their phones on October had the same problem returned for replacement but they got the model manufactured from August.. So i think it's really not hardware it's a software issue!

Google launcher is very similar to oxygen. You may not even be able to tell the difference ... And shelf is just recent apps (which GNL has in the app drawer) and recent callers list ... Which is in the recent callers list ...
you can fix lag in every buttom only if you disable function for double touch and large touch
Google Launcher jsut updated this morning. Give it a try. Also disable the double-tap function on home button.
Also using the screen bar buttons solve the problem. Releasing a phone with this kind of problems is a scam.

what?
fwiw, i don't seem to have any "lag" when the long press and double press is disabled.
But of course there is a lag when they are enabled. the phone HAS to have some way of realizing that you're not going to press it a 2nd time, or that you're not going to hold it down. how else is it supposed to do that? go to the home screen IMMEDIATELY and therefore not giving you enough time to press the button a 2nd time ?
lol use your brains people
oh and before anyone says.... i've used many roms on many phones which utilise the "double tap" and "hold home button" for different functions. every one of them has had a slight lag before it goes to the home screen. i dare say that you're remembering thing with rose tinted glasses if you're adamant that this phone is worse than those at this.

With double tap disabled it also has lag with Oxygen default launcher. If you design something with lag by default, it is a really bad design. Try any nexus device (even nexus 4 is faster) or the OPT with cyanogenmod and you will see what speed is.
what? i don't think you understand what i wrote.
Nova launcher is the solution, still my best purchase from play store...
Hi Guys,
I have the same problem. I bought my OP2 during open sale, and i received a phone from the 06/08/15 batch. I have also a home button which is not very "responsive", but i think it's a hardware problem due with th metal frame. When I use a case, i don't have this pb and the home button is very responsive ( as it should be).
DO you guys experience the same?
I'm using Catapult Launcher. It's a fork of Trebuchet Launcher from Cyanogenmod. Works pretty good ... no laggs.
