Hi all!
I would like to know if anyone has interest in developing a camera app for the Defy that works with the volume keys.
The purpose of this is that we can take pictures underwater
There seems to be an app on the market, but i've tried it and it doesnt work (it does not save pictures)
Waiting for a reply...Greets!
As the Defy would take damage, if you are going too deep(I thing 1-2meters are the maximum) this would'nt be very usable.

Actually it would, for a phone that can shoot underwater that is. I made over 40 videos already with me and my friends at my local swimming pool, and some pictures wouldn't have hurt. You know, for the fun of it (the only purpuse i see in this phone).
There is an app for us. Just go to android market and search Defy Photo Lite
Or you can just use button remapper, you can use the volume up key for camera. Works on my Defy with 2.3.4
If u are on cm7 or anyother custom rom(not all)
U have a option to use search key to use as cam button...
Its in cm donno abt other roms...

Before I got my arc, I had an LG Optimus Seven and with it it was possible to take photos, when the device was locked (screen off).
It was easier to take pictures when I had dirty hands or wearing bandages...
I find it ugly to unlock the device to take photos...!
Hope someone can help or write an tool for this...
Thanks in advance!

hello--i made the exact same move (from optimus 7).
i think the locked mode to camera is a wp7 feature and not available to andriod w/o hacks.
I'd love to be able to take pics, without unlocking the phone. Maybe someone can make an app that opens the camera when long-pressing the camera button and then when you push the back button or turn off the phone, it would go back to being locked. Hope this is possible.

Then someone would request saying that every time the camera switch on by itself in the pocket or handbag . LOL.
Widgetlocker lockscreen. It allows you to make a second lock to whatever you want (so photo if you want )

The button is so small and hard to press, I do not think anyone can experience this...
On my old phone it did not happen either.
The button has also 2 pressure points, to take first the focus and than the picture.
Custom Rom developers grant me this wish!

No clues here brought me to change the arc with the galaxy2.
When I have an phone with a shutter, which is only useful, when in the camera apply and unlocked, I don't really need this anymore.
Sony, you had your chance after the first xperia and you miss it!
The G2 has a lot more power, a Frontcam, much internal storage (apps2sd and then the sd is broken?!) And so on...
With the G2 its possible to activate the camera with the homebutton long pressed and than take photos with the power button.
I thought someone can program this too for the arc, but nobody here seems to be interested in using that small 2 presszones shutterbutton wisely...
That was the reason for me to buy the arc...
All new androids had no camerabuttons!
What was yours?
Sony Fans?
Or do they trick and blend you like me?

I have searched.
Anyway, I am just looking for a camera app that has touch to focus. I can't seem to find one on the market. Anything will work really, as long as it doesn't require root or anything in that matter. Is there one?
look on the market for xperia play camera mod, lets you use the L button for focus and R button for taking a picture.
I have that, not exactly what I'm looking for. I want to be able to touch the area I want to be focused. Thanks though

I'd love that option too. My dad's xperia neo can do that, why the hell the play wont?
It's such a nice option and gives a lot more flexibility to compose better pictures.
I know right?
I'll have to keep looking around..
Anyone else?
Please post when/if you find one. I've not encountered one yet and i've tried quite a few camera apps from Market.
Regards Dousan...
Try fast burst camera. There's an icon in app where you have to tap and do manual focusing first before shooting.. Good for sports shots too, this is what i'm using to capture some skateboard tricks of my friends..
I haven't given up yet...still looking.
EDIT: I found one! It's called Camera360 Ultimate(I think the free version will work too).
To enable the Touch to Focus:
Press the settings(the gear) in the upper right hand corner>Favorite Settings Tab>In the first drop down box, select "Press to focus, and click shooting button..."
Yes,camera360 can make it.But it locked some functions until you pay for it or you had use a China Telecommunications operator.....

What now? I am confused at what you are trying to say...
long distance shooting? not so long distance shooting with the subject alone is the sharp one? or you want some bokeh shots?
just buy a decent SLR cam..

Bought this app yesterday and i can confirm that it has the touch to focus function. Also you can use the x button to take pics. Nice app working well on 2.3.4 Xplay

Just want to make sure, it will focus where you touch right? Because otherwise it'll just be like the [amazing] app that focus with L and shoots with R, which is easier to handle.

Yes, where ever you touch. Just try the free version, if you are unsure.
My girl bouth this phone and we dont know how to take photos. In one way we know, but in other - no. It says press camera button and slowly push screen from left to right or smth. We dont understand
Open the camera app by clicking om the app or long pressing the camera button. Then just tap on the screen or press the camera button to take the pic.
Really easy...

He mentioned sweeping left to right so I assume he means that 3d junk.
It just takes practice mate. You need to experiment with the speed more than anything.

Or use the panorama app for X10 for that.
Works great, but I forgot from where I got it.
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk
for the panorama app you have to move the phone from left you right.. at the right speed..
For normal photo's you either press the camera hardware button.. or switch "touch" on so that you can just touch the screen where you want it to focus and take the shot.
Suspect though.. that this might suit you better.. HERE..
I did not make this app!!! Just thought I would share it with you. It is included in my rom and is very good! Link is here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moblynx.cameraics I really like it. Once again I have nothing to do with this app. Just though I would share it.
Edit: do not ask about my rom please. I am getting flooded with PMs and people should just email me about my rom, not pm or post in a completely unrelated thread. Thank you.

tried your camera ics..
auto focus is bad on it other than that its pretty good.
if you want a good camera use procapture camera
i use my cam alot and i have almost all cam apps from vignette to fxcam to cartoon cam. but the best of the best IMO is procapture for the auto focus and when it takes a pic the screen doesn't go black like in camfx or vignette and yes is has volume keys to take pic.
just my 2cents.

mostly just auto focus not working. the devs of the app said they are working to improve it. Oh i should mention the auto focus is just bad with the volume keys it takes good pics with focus if you touch the red button and hold to focus then release to take pic. but since Samsung couldn't afford to add a dedicated cam button, volume keys to take pic is a must for me.

Why would you buy Camera ICS? It is a free app but the paid version doesn't have ads. To block ads just get an ad blocker (assuming you have root access) from the market. And this is not "my app". I just wanted to share it with you. It runs with no bugs on my phone and it works flawlessly with my rom. Thank you for the feedback though, guys!

Folks,
Please, is it possible to use the physical button as shutter (while on camera) and answer/hangup call?
I need to use some bandages on my hands and every capacitive screen fails me... the S-PEN is definitively something that I'm eager to try (every other generic stylus fails on some level).
Thanks!!

Not in stock rom that ive seen, maybe a friendly dev could create a custom mod for you. You could use a camera app that responds to voice commands, that would solve part of your problem

This works well, and is fortunately included as an option on Samsung's default camera app (on the GT-N7100 at least). So fun to snap a picture by saying "cheese".

Rofl.. yeah it works... I think the phone thinks you said "shoot". Also it works if you say "sheet".
If you go to Settings>Accessibility you can chose to answer phone calls using home button and hang up using the power button. im using this setting as Im keeping my phone in a pouch and this way I don't have to take it out every time I get a phone call
