I have discovered that post lollipop software update (not to android 5 but the update to it) the start up chime is now linked to the media volume and not the system volume.
This means that if I'm listening to music or watching a movie and leave the media volume up, the chime will play - incredibly annoying considering the system is on silent.
So got a new phone... And... No camera! The camera crash when the phone starts with the video app. Cannot open the camera app (the app crash before anything is displayed). Other camera app (Google camera) says "cannot connect to camera). Factory reset failed.
A friend is having troubles with his Z3 : He used to take pictures with the quick camera launch button, but since a recent camera or system update, when he use this button, the camera is set to automatic mode instead of manual, with poor resolution and quality settings. If he launches the camera with the standard button from the phone menu, everything is fine and perfectly set up.
When the camera is used from the quick button and set back to the correct quality settings and manual mode, after closing it, it goes back to auto mode with bad settings. Same thing when he slides the camera icon from the locked screen. The only way to get the proper settings when launching the camera is to use the icon from the phone's menu.
He tried a lot of things, from uninstalling the camera updates to searching everywhere on the internet, there is no information or messages about this problem.
I'm currently happy with my Gingerbread but I really want that option to just slide the lcok screen to the left and it will launch the camera app. Right now, in it's place is the Sound option which will let me silence and unsilence the phone by swiping to the left. I hardly use this feature and would be happy to replace it with one for image capturing just like on ICS.
I am looking for a way to disable the startup sound when launching the camera using the dedicated camera button. I have checked the settings and have only found an option to disable the shutter sound while taking a picture but not the startup sound.
Currently, when I want to take a picture with my phone and I touch to open the camera app, the screen would turn black, with no image. The only thing that would show is the camera button and the option to go into the camera settings. There's not much within camera settings -- either switch the main or front camera and the photo capture mode (scene, night, HDR, etc.), restore to default, etc.
If I t back out of the camera app and go to the home screen and try to get back into the camera app, it would pause for a bit (about 5 seconds) before popping up the imageless (black) screen. Then, a message would pop up saying, "Sorry! Camera is not responding. Would you like to send an error report to HTC?" I would be given the option to "Don't send; Wait; Send Report". If I go back to the home screen a third time and then try to open the camera app again, it would say "unable to start camera".
I used the application Quick Pull to have a bigger space for free memory but as I do it I noticed my phone won't start completely, it's stuck at the blackscreen. I tried removing the battery but it's the same. What should I do?
I am sure I'll get people telling me the science of Apple's multitasking trying to convince me that there's no way Apps are running in the background or whatnot.But after several days of testing - there are some Apps (like Words with Friends) that are draining the battery when "not in use" but still in the quick start dock. On days that I have NOTHING in the dock, I am at between 97-100% throughout my NYC morning commute while reading with the Kindle Reader. If I have some apps in the dock during the same time frame I've gotten as low as 90-92%.
Going to do some more empirical testing (one full day of not opening up one of these apps at all vs keeping one open but not using all day long) to see overall difference.So either some apps unfortunately are sucking battery life - or my phone, in particular has varied battery life. I typically come home with anywhere from 55-65% of battery left when everything is closed on the dock. On the days I've test the above, I've come home with about 30-40%. Same usages/settings/locations.
I purchased the Z3+ yesterday and when starting a first charge (30mins as advised in the setup guide) the battery began at 32% charge, i left it for 30 mins and it only got to 38%. It took a good 1hour + for a full 100% charge.
I've now recharged again today and its taken 3hours for a full 100% charge from 0%, is this correct?? I have read it can take 45mins for a full charge.
So, the first day with my new Z3+ - and the camera app won't even start. The phone is not too hot, I've tried the Norwegian reset (turn the phone off then on) and the camera app still won't start. All I get is an error message telling me Camera has been stopped.
Here they are, the Galaxy S II User manual and quick start guides from the Samsung's website. Might come in handy for some. Or those of us that loose the originals etc
I have always setted my camera app to shot video at 60fps and it works great. But... why quick launch can't start filming at 60fps (it does at 30fps only)?
I received my new x10 mini phone a few days ago and am really impressed by it.But...After the phone has been off, the camera works fine the first time I start it.And if I close the camera application and start it again straight away it also works fine.But if I wait for maybe half an hour or more and then open the camera application, the phone reboots itself
on your 2nd gen moto X with moto voice, have you ever noticed when you tell it to take a selfie with a selfie command, it starts up the regular camera not the forward facing camera with a 3 second countdown timer?
i just updatet my z3 and now it wont start! it gets to the first screen with white text saying "Sony experia", then shuts down, starts up to the first screen and then shuts down...
I've encountered this issue (I don't know if I can call it an issue), with my Z2, when i turn it off, and back on, or when restarting the phone, after it has finished the starting sequence, it shows me in the middle of the screen a message saying: Powerfull communications, your messages are evolving....and some other text....and at the bottom it makes me enter my phone numer with country code...and to hit ok.....but it appears about 6 times, hitting ok for six times before it disappears!
I buy the blackberry bold 9900 mobile and after 1 month when i use the camera it showing the error message could not start the camera close other application and try opening the camera again i remove the battery from the mobile and restart so many time and i not able to capture the picture . and also update the software.
I have a lock code on my iPhone 4 s & since i have just updated the software today to iso 5.1, I cant access the camera via this short cut. The camera icon is on the bottom right hand side (next to (Slide to unlock) but when I press it, it just bounces & does not open the camera. Is this a bug or do I need to configure this somewhere within settings?
After i instaled the latest version of thr OS for my iphonr 4, one of the features was spsed to be the quick access to the camers would be available from the log in screen. The button is there but when i press it the camera will not open. The screen "jumps' a bit and appears to try to open the camera but it won't.
My xperia z2 is completely discharged, while I do not use it. He lay there for about a week, maybe more. Now I tried to turn it on, but it does not turn on. Does not respond to a hard reset, and not charging. I tried to charge it for 2 consecutive days. He did not turn on. When I tried to connect it to a PC, the red LED lights up. Do not run any mode fastboot nor flashmod. The LED is still illuminated. Although the phone is not connected to anything.
I tried using Sony Bridge for Mac to update my Z3. Naturally, it failed (I had massive problems updating the other Xperia I had too).
All my phone wants to do now is say 'The software update failed.Make sure your phone is connected to a computer and try again'. This is, of course, a ridiculous thing to suggest, as my Mac will now not recognise the device as I can't turn it on.
Five days back purchased a Xperia X10 and upgraded the memory to 16GB. It was working fine since yesterday morning, when I updated the phone through SE PC Companion software.
First SEPCC presented a message for update then it told to disconnect the phone from USB, switch it off, remove battery for at least 5 sec., put battery again, connect it USB with pressing back button. After that it starts downloading the update and then tried to install the update. But it failed 2 times.
Right now I am not able to start the mobile even by removing the memory. On the screen it displays SONY ERICSSON text and a '!' mark inside a triangle.
How to get the quick access camera on the lock screen?New to android, have played with all the settings. everyone other S5 have a quick access to their camera on the lockscreen besides mine.
I don't have quick access to my camera from the lock screen on my new iphone 4s. When double quick on the home button, I have the symbol for the camera but it does not respond when tapping on it. The camera button has two small bars above and two below, every time I tap on it, the lock screen jumps slightly, but no access. From the lock screen i however have access to my music volume. Is the camera access locked?

The start button on my Sony Xperia Z3 D6603 suddenly stopped working.Also the volyme controls next to it.I have shut down the phone with the reset-button behind the hatch, next to the SIM-card-slot, in hope that it would do some change to restart the phone. But now i can´t get the phone back on.
How do i start my Xperia Z3 when start button / power button does not respond?Is there a way to jumpstart it?
