Panorama Mode - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying out a unit in a store a while ago. I noticed that the panorama mode does not give you any feedback at all. I'm not sure how to explain it without the use of images (I'll only get my device in 2 days time)..
Anyway, it only tells you to "press camera button and move from left to right". It's weird because I don't even know what has been captured and what hasn't. I'm not sure if this is a bug (looks like it is because there is a long "panorama" icon and a short icon that looks like it's supposed to show you where you are as you sweep)?

Capturing the screen with the HD

Hello Gents,
I am wondering if I can use some help with the following questions:
I had downloaded the hotfixes from HTC (the device response time, the display flicker and response sliding bar)
Everything went fine but later on I was trying to place a video call and I noticed that the video call button (the one below to the * key) has the letters of (Call Hi....) just about the lowest edge of the button. So when I tab the button, I get the call history instead of the video call.
I unistalled the fixes and restarted the device but nothing new. I just do not wanna direct you through the fixes but I am just saying all what happened. Have you faced teh issue before?
The second issue is: How can I make a screen shot of the phone,. like the ones I see on site here, is there any software to do it, something like the active synch or I have to be a developer to be able to do it...
Thanks indeed for the help

Using camera button resets settings...

Hello,
Whenever I use the camera button on my ZL to open the camera (which is of course what it's for ), the settings I last used are reset and I end up back in (the crappy) superior auto mode!!
When I use the camera icon in app drawer it goes back to the correct settings that I set.
This is very very annoying because:
1) Superior auto sucks
2) I want to use multi auto focus mode because all the other modes have auto-focus (so there's no use for the ZL's button).
When I open with camera button and press settings, it also goes back to "good" settings.
Any help?
Thanks
Well, I can only say that this is by design.
Camera launch by camera key called "quick launch" and generally itended for situations when you need to take picture in a hurry, without time to fiddle with settings, in any possible situation - hence default to full auto. In camera settings you can also make it to instantly take picture, without even requiring second press.
If you want to launch camera in "leisure pace" with custom settings and all, you have to use camera app icon.

Click to collapse
I understand. However with the ZL, for me, using the hardware button is by far easier and faster and I don't necesarlly use it to "quickly take a picture" but more to open the camera all the time.
It would be OK if superior mode was in fact any good

Camera app just shows a black screen - but I can hear it still working in selfie mode

One M8 running Viper ROM v1.8.1.
A lot of times when I open the camera app, I see nothing but a black screen and the on screen buttons (back/home/recents). No matter where I tap, I can't see anything. However, I can still hear that it's still working in selfie mode, because if I tap where the shutter button should be, I hear the countdown, and I actually get a photo in my gallery afterwards. In order to get the camera running properly I basically have to kill the app, clear it from recents and do this several times, hoping that it'll let the camera app run properly. It's kind of pot luck if it does or not. Usually I have to do this process 4-5 times before the camera app finally opens and I can actually see the viewfinder and choose the rear camera and such.
Does anyone know what might be happening? I've tried clearing the camera app data, and resetting everything in the app to default and that didn't help.
Same issue mate
I'm on same rom v2.5 cleared data and still no joy did you fix yours?

Has automatic updates just crippled stuff on my phone?

Never had any problem on my HTC one m8 until today.
Out of the blue, 'Motion Lauch Gestures' stopped working ( I use swipe up to wakeup screen)
Also Camera no longer functions correctly - huge 5 or 6 seconds lag before photo is taken, after tapping button.
I've done nothing, changed nothing.
Last night, I got a notification "updated 20 apps" or some such message
I suppose that is the culprit. I tried undoing some updates, but unfortunately no luck.
Anyone else have anything like this happening?
Not sure about motion gestures, but it seems the camera lag has been caused by an update of the camera or other HTC app:

Question Do not disturb mode

I'm new here and I'm not an expert, maybe someone could relate or knows how to fix these problems.
I want the "do not interrupt" mode to vibrate with the contacts that I put in exceptions, the ones that can interrupt when the mode is activated, does anyone know how to do that?
My moto g20 is new, I got it for xmas. My previous phone was a Samsung J5 Prime, and its "do not disturb mode" worked better, because it has more options, this mode on the moto G20 mute everything, and the contacts or apps that you allow to "interrupt" they can, but they don't make any sound or vibration.
And I think there is a bug that makes applications disappear from my home screen. I happened with google maps, I put it back and then there were two google maps on my home screen, maybe I'm crazy but maybe someone noticed this.
Also, the navigation buttons animations are kinda bugged, like, you press it once and the animation of pressing it does not end consistenly or properly (image attached, the animation freezes like that until a new input get registered), how do I fix these two bugs?
I uninstalled bloatware with ADB the first second I turned on the phone, maybe this is causing me problems?
Also, what blows my mind is that my older phone has better options that this brand new phohe released recently, it has no themes or icons customization, lintern brightness levels, and insensity or vibration patterns options, my previous phone did.
Sorry for the long text, I searched all the web but find nothing, because is a new phone. Also I contacted to Motorola support and has no response yet, neither from the motorola forums.
Thanks for reading
