Camera - enable touch to take picture? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It seems as though everyone else can open the camera....touch the screen anywhere....and snap a picture. I don't know if my settings are weird or what's going on, but when i open my camera...i need to touch the screen to focus...then i have to actually press the shutter button at the bottom. How can i turn on touch to take a picture?

I noticed when I switch it to 10mp and hide the setting, you can just hit the screen totake a photo

oh wow, all i had to do was hide settings apparently. thx!

Yes hide the menu then you can.

I'm glad you ran into this. My settings were hidden from the start and I assumed you always had to tap to focus+fire. I might have wondered wtf happened if I'd accidentally made the settings visible!

I feel really dumb... I can't get mine to take a photo at all. Screen press or camera button icon. Can anyone tell me what setting to change specifically? I've totally hidden the settings, I've changed to 10M, 3M, 13M... tried changing storage from internal to sd and back... doesn't matter what I do, I get nothing.

Are you running any other software that has a "home screen" (such as SPB Mobile Shell)?
Hi! I have the same problem. I am running SPB Pocket Plus with Diary/Shell/Weather and also Phonealarm on Todayscreen. I think i checked all the options for an entry that can cause this. But maybe I have missed one...anybody got a hint? (SPB Shell Todayscreen is not activated)
Thanks a lot!

for the today screen, its just the default HTC Home....and im certain that isnt causing it...i am running SPB Phone suite... but all options are disabled except picture call logs.
I use WAD soo.. whatever I had open when i go into standby it kind of stays on.. example:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

Suggestion to devs on soft buttons

I was wondering if a tweak can be made by adding something like this to work anywhere on the phone since most devs haven't updated their apps to hide the soft buttons. Thoughts?

i tried looking for code how to show and hide the soft buttons but cant find it.
It wouldn't be particularly hard, but...wouldn't you have to press power to show them again? Seems counter-intuitive.

Yea exactly. This is needed for full screen video apps that haven't updated their apps yet like Slingplayer. Would be an awesome feature.
Can't imagine the wear and tear the power button would have to go through.. I think a toggle in the notification dropdown would be nice
What about putting three fingers on the screen and pulling down to hide them and three fingers going up to show them
Ability to use full 720p for anything with a soft key overlay toggle is all I want changed from how Nexus is currently

wear and tear? u already use that button to turn on/off the screen and its not like this is something that would be used in every app. a toggle in notification would not work because the status bar is not accessible while watching a video in certain apps.
still looking for this
why not install lmt i used that for a while http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1564253
lmt and the fullscreen mod for the galaxy nexus = fullscreen awesomeness lol

SpyKit Camera for S3

Hi everybody, let me present you SpyKit, and app designed for taking spy pictures in a very simple yet powerful way!
The motivation was to address the main problems in most of the existing spy cameras: lack of polisheness and counter intuitive user interfaces.
Right now this is the only spy camera that works when you screen is truly turned off!
How to use it?
The first thing you have to do is activate it through the main switch in the upper right corner. You can also put a widget in your desktop for quickly enable it.
Then there two ways you can use the app:
-> Using your device buttons. (PLAY, PAUSE, VOLUME UP/DOWN)
By default all buttons are mapped to the Single Picture Action.
-> Using the Motion Detection feature.
By default motion detection is mapped to the Continuous Shooting Action
You, of course, can change this mappings at the settings screen.
SpyKit, by default, displays a floating preview which you can drag and resize as you like. It allows you to keep using your other apps while the preview is active!.
If you don't want the preview to be shown, you can disable it at the settings screen.

I was mowing my grass with my Note 10+ 5G in my pocket connected to my headphones. When I was done I took it out and found this floating 'Phantom' window and I don't know how to get rid of it. If you look close it has another window inside and that has one. Its like those infinity mirrors. Anyways, its driving me nuts. Anyone k

You'll need to add the https: to the front of it. Site won't let me post it since I'm new.
If it's being caused by Samsung cloud, disable it if closing all open apps or a reboot doesn't work.
When I took it out of my pocket it was in developer options and the gray scale was turned on making the screen color gray. I figured something else in dev ops was changed along the way but I can't figure it out. Everything else seemed set right.

Just turn off Developer Options globally at the top of it's page if that caused it. It will revert to the original settings.
Ah ha!
That worked. I wish I knew which setting caused that but I'm happy for now. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Probably under drawing like "show surface updates".
Flashing purple colored? Bet that got your attention.

Question Is there any way to change what the smart pen buttons do?

Hi. I've been using the tablet for about 9 months, and bought it with the smart pen when I bought it. I've found it quite useful for note taking. However, something that annoys me is that the buttons' function can't be changed in the settings, and only do soemthing different in the Xiaomi Notes app. Is there any third party app/rom/way to change the buttons function?
Key Mapper, you can find it on Google Play Store.

Record a trigger, press one of the buttons and set a new action afterwards.

Hello, there are times when I am writing (with the xiaomi smart pen) and I go to the bottom line (on the left side of the screen - approximately in the space of about 3 to 4 cm on the left side), it does not work. It is expected to touch somewhere on the screen more in the middle of the screen, so that it recognizes the writing, and I can go back to writing at the beginning of the line. How can I solve?
