Z1 Camera Button not Working!

Hello everyone,
My z1's camera button launches the camera app only approximately half the time. So when it doesnt launch the normal, usual way when i press on it, I would press doubly hard to try to activate the camera and still sometimes it doent work!
Anyone experiencing this?
Could it be that some wire or component inside the phone has gone awry? Or is it a bug in the software because usually the camera app would launch the camera with a very high chance if I have just lock the screen for not more than approx 5-10sec.
Besides, would the z1 suffer any external/internal damage with a soft knock/drop on the table ? it is naked by the way. (i.e no phone cover etc)
Thank you

On my Z1,I cannot start the camera by button if the stamina is on.I added it to exceptions.

Camera button not working

Hi, since today the quick button for camera is not working, Also the quick camera from screen cover (when opening phone) is not here anymore is there a way to fix?

Try performing a system repair using PC Companion as this will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data so best to backup before you begin
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

Try turning the phone off and on again. Just had the camera button on mine stop working at all. and this fixed my problem. As the button still does something. It is unlikely that it is hardware issue so changing the phone should not be necessary. Probably is an operating system glitch that you ran into. If you know how to repeat the problem then it would be useful to post a bug report and then Nokia can fix it! Chances are you don't though and have better things to do than look for it!
Same here - worked for a first three weeks then quit! Seems like in general the phone has started getting slower and delayed over time, especial with touchscreen navigation, so I suspect it's a software issue.
Button won't turn on camera on anymore and only does autofocus but not shoots....
Anybody has found a workaround?
It seems the on/off doesn't work but it does seem to me if you let the battery completely drain and then recharge and restart, a number of other functions does better....
Did anyone call Nokia for this? What did they say?

yes i am pushing it all the way down and if the remap app is going to cause more problems forget. WHOM EVER TURNED IT OFF WITH THE LAST UPDATE NEED TO TURN IT BACK ON OR GIVE ME THE OPTION OF HAVING IT OR NOT. MY PHONE NOT YOURS.
Like it was said, the button was not turned of by any updates, your problem is most likely software related.. If it is really bothering you and want to isolate the issue just do a hard reset and take everything out of equation. Safe mode option may work but there is also a chance if a app changed this that that it could have override the program settings that can be retained in safe mode, I have ran into this before and just want to let you know Safe Mode may or may not guarantee trouble solution.

Question: did you install the app called "NO LOCK" ?? I had exactly the same issue on my phone after installing it. After hours of trouble shooting, I discovered that APP to be my problem and after uninstalling, the button worked as designed.
That is strange that No Lock causes you issues when I haven't had any issuers using it, shows that the difference in the combination of software on a device does make a difference..

Dedicated camera button not working

Hi, I just got my new Sony Xperia z1. When I tried to take pictures with it using the camera button it only focused the picture but did not capture it. I've tried all the settings but nothings working. Please help.

Camera button not working properly

Hi everyone,
I've bought my Xperia Z2 few days ago and have strange issue - my camera button doesn't work in every mode. I can open camera app by holding button but can't take any picture in auto mode. Button works in 4K video, Timeshift video, AR effects, Timeshift burst mode. I didn't check Vine, info-eye and social live modes only. I can take pictures by touching the screen button in every mode. Do you have any ideas how to resolve this problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It is a two step button, first is very light and it works as a camera focus button,but you should feel it clicks in a half way, than you press harder and it takes photo just like a real compact cameras do. If you don't feel any pressing degree it might be faulty, it's just a silicone stripe with plastic buttons so it could be badly installed in factory.
Last time, just to be sure, try to start the phone in service mode (restart and when sony logo appears press volume down till it fully starts and you see grey text on main screen "safe mode" if then it will work - reinstall android with sony companion, and if system repair won't do any changes consult the phone in sony centre or the shop where it was bought.

Hi nik80,
Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
When you try take the picture are you getting a clicking sound? if you are have you tried holding the key down harder after the first initial clicking sound.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Camera button not working from locked screen.

Recently I tried to take a photo from my locked screen. Usually I just double click my home button and the camera pops right up and I can take a picture. This time though, the camera icon does pop up, but when I go to click it the camera icon just "jumps" and will not open the camera option. It's very annoying for when I just want to take a picture, now I have to go through the motion of unlocking my phone and going to the camera. OH, also on the locked screen, the camera icon has two lines, both over and under it.
How can I fix this, is it in the settings somewhere?

Touch the camera icon and scroll all the way up. You do not have to double click the home button.

My camera does not work on my ipod touch 4th gen. it just goes to a black screen i have done everything from resetting and rebooting... help :(

I fell down the stairs the other day and busted my other ipod to the gamewerks near my house. the guy said he couldnt fix that ipod so he gave me a new one.. a better one a 32GB, the broken one was 8GB. but he told me the only bad thing is that the camera does not work and he doesnt know why... he just couldnt get it to workkk... any ideas on whats wrong?

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

Please help. Since I updated my Iphone4 to ISO 6.1.3...The ringer button not working, can't play any music (but ok with the dock), headphone sound is muffled. What can I do? I tried restoring and downgrading but it won't let me.

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out to the community.

It appears like you may have a hardware issue with your ringer button and internal speaker that came to light after the update. If you have already restored your iPhone back to factory settings using iTunes, you may need to have your phone serviced.
Some potential good news... Check your headphone jack for lint. There may be enough to cause a muffled connection. You can try to blow it out with compressed air or very carefully pulling out any solid objects that may affect the connection.
Best of luck!
