Camera button doesn't work

Hi everyone,
Recently I've noticed that my camera button on the phone is not working.
It doesn't launch camera app and it doesn't take any pictures while in cam app, however I can focus with it.
I'm on 4.4.2 and it doesn't have too many outside apps installed, what I have tried so far:
1) Pressing the button hard,
2) Tried entering safe mode,
3) Tried to change settings inside cam app, quick launch particularly,
4) Cleared the app data/cache of *Camera*, *Camera common*,*Camera extension*,*Cameras*.
Nothing seems to work for me.
Please help   Don't want to repair my phone via update service...plus there is never a guarantee it will help.
Thanks,
Ed

Ok, good news, I actually got it.
I have previously used Xperia Active and the experience on the Z1 compact is quite different in terms of this camera button.
So, as you said Alexdone, it has two phases.
First, you slightly press it down to focus, similar to trigger buttons on PlayStation/Xbox controllers.
Second, you have to press it down further and it goes down with a click, have to overcome that fear.
I’ve also done a factory reset, that could have helped as well..maybe

  • My screen if frozen and I can't shut off my phone. I already have my assistiave touch button on my screen but it still own't let me shut off my phone. And my lock button doesn't work either

    My screen is frozen on the camera and my phone won't let me shut it off. My lock button doesn't work and my assistance touch button won't let me shut it down either. My phone also takes hours to die and my battery if fully charged so i can't wait for it to die i need to get it back to normal asap! How do I get it to unfreeze?

    A reset is when you press and hold both the home and sleep buttons for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose any data. Give it a try.

  • Device Manager ! FN button doesn't work

    Portege R835-P56X Bios updated to Version 3 The laptop came with 64 Bit but I did a clean install with Windows 7 32 Bit because many of my programs and games didn't work with 64 Bit.
    I can't install Toshiba Value Added Package,Toshiba PC Health Monitor and Toshiba eco Utility because they are 64 Bit.Pressing the FN button doesn't work,it does nothing at all using 32 Bit.With 64 Bit it worked fine with screen icons coming up when I pressed it.I wonder if the FN button only work in 64 Bit or maybe Toshiba Value Added Package contains the FN button driver?If anyone knows where to get Toshiba Value Added Package 32 Bit that may fix this problem,please let me know thanks.
    I have a problem in Device Manager where it's showing ! Other Devices PCI Simple Communications Controller.I took a screen shot of Device Manager with 64 Bit installed just incase I ran into problems.Looking at the 2 Device managers side by side 32 vs 64 it looks like Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter is missing from the 32 Bit Device Manager.
    I'm assuming this is Intel Wireless Display but I'm not 100% sure.Because every time I run Intel Wireless Display I get this error message.Unable to load the Intel My WiFi Technology Dll file
    Anyway there is no Intel Display driver for 32 Bit so I had to download that from Intel website.There is however Intel Wireless Display for 32 Bit which I have installed but the ! in device manager remains.So I uninstalled Intel Wireless Display and downloaded the Wireless Display driver 32 Bit from Intel website hoping that might fix the problem.But the ! in device manager remains.
    I have also tried windows update but it can't find any driver for Hardware.I have added 2 screen shots in Attachments

    Well after alot of searching on Google I have finally found out what this PCI Simple Communications Controller is.
    It's the Intel Management Engine Interface and lucky for me there is a 32 Bit driver.Now I have no more ! in Device Manager and I have uploaded an updated screen shot.
    But now there are 3 questions.
    1 What happened to the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter?It was listed twice in 64 Bit but doesn't show up in 32 Bit Device Manager.
    2 Why do I still get the error message when starting Intel Wireless Display?Unable to load the Intel My WiFi Technology Dll file even though I have found the driver for ! in Device Manager
    3 Why doesn't the FN button work?It worked fine in 64 Bit but in 32 Bit it does absolutely nothing.The same goes for the touchpad on/off button which worked fine before in 64 Bit.But now with 32 Bit presing it doesn't turn the touchpad on or off,It does nothing.I hope Toshiba releases drivers for both of these features.

  • A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank. The missing information is highlighted in red." the ok button doesn't work. 1st gen iPad.

    A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank. The missing information is highlighted in red." the ok button doesn't work. The message is now fixed & I cannot get rid of it. Ironically, when I found this forum I was able to set up an apple Id. Please advise how to get rid of the pop-up box. Thanks!

    I'm having this same problem as well and cannot advance--very irritating. All of the information is filled out correctly and I've editted my AppleID information online separately as well to get around this issue, but no luck...

  • Can't lower voice memo volume. My decrease button doesn't work anymore. Any other way i can lower it without disabling speaker

    Own an iphone 5. Can't control voice memo volume from anywhere that deals with volume on my phone. My decrease button doesn't work. I have to listen to my voice memos on full blown volume. Can't lower it from settings or from music. Help please!

    Hi,
    thanks for your answer. 
    The Size of all disks is: 6 x 4 TB.
    In the Pool are 5 x 4 TB plus 1 x Hot Spare. 
    It comes up to about 14,6 TB of Data formatable.
    But tried it also with just 3 x 4 TB to see if it works. 
    I just made a Raid5EE on the controller and then used Storage Spaces with simple, all worked fine. 
    Here the results of my tests: 
    1) your command had to be modified (typoe in usemaximumsize, and had to add -ResiliencySettingName Parity. 
    new-virtualdisk -friendlyname testpsh -storagepoolfriendlyname test -ResiliencySettingName Parity -usemaximumsize
    But anyway, my problem is not creating the virtual disk, but formatting the partition if it's parity only. 
    I added a screenshot: 
    Here you see my storage pool, and I added 3 virtual disk. 
    1 simple, 1 mirror, 1 parity. Only the parity cannot be formatted. The others can. No mather which size I do. 
    About a testserver, I added 4 x 4 TB to a VM (VHDX-files) and could do parity without problems. So it seems it is this server specific.
    As it worked with another controller, I really wonder if the controller could break parity of Storage Pools?
    The other weird part is, it sais "Raid" as BUS, but it's set to pass through, in details I see the serial of the attached HDD. 
    This is what properties shows on this volume. Always RAW. 
    I also tried Software Raid5 within the server. 
    This also worked fine. So really only parity. 
    Thanks

  • Volume and Power button doesn't work..how do I fix?

    My son's volume buttons or the power button doesn't work.  Is there something I can do to fix these issues?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem.

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Can't Add Credit Card (submit button doesn't work)

    Hey. Recently come across a problem trying to add my credit card so I could buy a Twitter app that works with Twitters new authorization.
    The submit button doesn't work. It is still there, but it is unclickable, it doesn't load up anything, or do anything. It doesn't change to being clickable at any time.
    If it helps, I have the Palm Pre, I'm with O2 (UK).
    Can anyone help?
    Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)

    This sounds like a credit card related issue. Has anything about your credit card changed, like a new expiration data? You can go to App Catalog, tap the drop-down menu, select Preferences and Accounts, then choose the account name, enter your profile password, tap continue, When the Edit Credit Card screen appears, re-enter the credit card number and confirm that the remaining info is valid or enter any new information, then submit.

  • HT4527 I want to move all my iTunes from old PC to new PC but Home Sharing on both and it works.  At Step 11, I clicked Home Sharing Import button doesn't work.

    Help!  I want to move all my iTunes music, podcasts, etc. from an old PC to a new PC. I set up Home Sharing on both and it works.  I followed the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 to the letter.  At Step 11, I clicked on Home Sharing on my new PC, then Edit > Select All so I could then import everything to the new computer.  No matter what I try, the Import button doesn't work.  There are two buttons on the lower right hand side of the iTunes screen - one for Settings and one for Import.  The Settings button is clickable but the Import button isn't even live.  In other words, I can see it but not click on it.  I have double-checked my firewall and it is not the problem.  How can I get the Import button to work? 

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what do i do?

    Hello my name is Leslie and i would like to ask you guys a question on how to fix my ipod or what is wrong with it. My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what can i do to fix it ?

    Has the home button worked in the past, or is this been something that hasn't worked for some time? The only way to reset the device is with the sleep/wake (power) and home buttons together. Without it, you would have to wait until the battery dies and then plug it in to try and reset it. The Home button is used for several user troubleshooting steps. Without it, you cannot perform a reset, put the device into recovery mode, or place it in DFU mode. You need to get the home button repaired.

  • I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. Some contacts have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel. A real Mac **** up !

    I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. And some contacts occasionally have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel Mac. A real Mac **** up ! Any ideas ?

    Can you drag and drop the attachments visible in the email to the Desktop OK or does that fail ?
    Re the sending: Are these recipients on Mac's or PC's as the file type could be an issue, if on Mac's then try setting the Mail Preferences Composing setting to Plain Text not Rich Text and see if that improves things.

  • USB mouse button doesn't work on MacBook Unibody

    Since the trackpad was not working, we have to use a USB mouse to navigate. After a few minutes, the mouse left and right button doesn't work. I can move the pointer around the screen and use the keyboard.
    Thoughts

    The same problem happens with a Bluetooth apple mouse. You can scroll up, down and use the secondary (the right click) The problem normally developes after the MacBook has been running for a while and gets hot underneath.
