[Suggestion] Camera Button Not Open in Pocket Option

I like the camera button dedicated to opening (and even shooting) after a long press, but I thought before opening there could be a code of could that checks if the camera or light sensor is blacked out (from being in a pocket). If it is blacked out the camera application wouldn't open. It has opened a few times to me and I thought this would be an easy option to fix it.
Another suggestion: the camera apps and settings should be available without having to put in the pin. I have found ways around it (setting lock time to 10 or 30 minutes) so that I can take HDR shots more readily while hiking or on the move.
Shouldn't there be a camera app folder in the software forum? or maybe a general suggestions forum? I couldn't find any. Let me know if there is a better place for this post. Thank you!
Edit: Just found another post that said to contact sony directly. Sent them an email.
Solved!

As for your suggestions, it might not work, as it will create lag on opening the camera. Since you will have to long press it then the proximity sensor has to detect if there's anything near or not, also there are mixed results with the proximity sensor and fabric.
I agree with you on having access to more settings without having to unlock the phone.
There isn't a subforum on the camera, just post your questions according to the Xperia model that you have.

    Tried that and it still isn't working. Not sure if it's software thing but I just noticed when I swipe up my control center the flashlight option is not available as well. I'm not sure why this is. I have a 5s with the newest software. That's for the suggestion

    Hi saamli,
    Thanks for your post and welcome to the Nokia forum.
    We are really sorry for this inconvenience.
    In order to fix this issue, I would advise you to check if your phone's software is up to date via this link, enter *#0000# on your keypad to display your current version.
    If your phone needs to be updated, connect it with Nokia suite and click on the green arrow icon. Any available updates will be listed here.
    If the problem persists, I would suggest you to contact your local Nokia care point to get your phone checked. If it needs a repair, it could be done there.
    Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have.

  • Camera shutter not opening on iPhone 4s

    I've had my iPhone 4s for about two months. It had been working perfectly.
    After a recent drop that required the front glass to be replaced, my cameras are no longer working properly. The shutter for the rear camera will not open at all. The front camera will only work through a third party app called "AutoShutter" that was recommended to me. The phone is still working perfectly, otherwise.
    Is this reversable? Can I get my 4s cameras working again? I've tried the following:
    1) Soft reset with home/power buttons
    2) Downloading other software apps to run the camera
    3) Deleting all photos in my phone
    4) Full reset of the phone to factory settings
    Your recommendations are much appreciated. I'm waiting with baited breath in hopes that this is not permanent! I did not get the warranty or insurance. Thanks!

    i have the same problem, took it to apple store they said is a hardware problem, how could be possible if it WAS WORKING PERFECT BEFORE, very frustrated with them.. i've tried EVERYTHING in the world.. restarted factory settings recovery mode etc etc etc. nothing worked for me. and i forgot.. the phone never turns off just reboot and the sound goes off and comes on whenever it wants....

    Hello, I IPAD3 to upgrade 6.0 system, rear camera can not open up, open the camera stuck in the rotating screen

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

  • Ipod touch camera does not open

    have ipod touch, model PC547ZP version 5
    upgraded to OS 5 had all worked till other day now the camera will not open.
    tried powering on and off with no change
    know can restore but conserned might lose data etc
    anyone know of anything I can do to resovle this other than resetting it

    Maybe this can resolve it (you should normally not lose data following this method):
    1) Sync your iPod touch with iTunes (iTunes will also create a backup automatically).
    2) Reset your iPod touch: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    3) Restore your iPod touch from backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • Camera is not opening in my 3GS

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my iPhone 3GS
    The camera is not opening, I have already restored but it is the same...
    I don't know what to do...
    please help

    On another point, you need to update your ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) plug-in to ACR 8.7.1 CS6 version ASAP.  You have the original release that shipped with CS8, namely ACR 7.0 which DOES NOT support your camera model.
    The Canon 5D Mark III was supported by the first time in ACR 7.1.  The current version for Photoshop CS6 is ACR 8.7.1.

    Also is there anyway I can actually talk to a customer support technician via Adobe?
    Not in this forum.
    Unfortunately, only Adobe customer service can assist you with your issue. These are user forums; you are not addressing Adobe here.
    Click on the link below, and after that click on "Still need Help? Contact us."
    Then on the next page, click Chat.

    See:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    You need the 8.2 version of the ACR module, and PS10 is too old to be updated.
    So, you can choose between 3 solutions:
    - update PSE to PSE12
    - use the Canon software to convert the raw files to the tiff format which PSE10 can handle
    - download and install the free Adobe DNGconverter which is able to convert a whole folder of CR2 raw files to the Adobe DNG raw format which PSE10 can handle.
    The last two solutions are free.

  • TS1315 My camera is not opening to take a picture

    My camera is not opening,and unable to take apic

    If you are talking about "tethered" shooting, taking a picture will connected to the computer, iPhoto does not support that. Your camera may have come with software to do that (Canons do). Otherwise, you  will need Aperture which does support tethered shooting.
