I'm not new to windows phone, but the Camera Button is not waking up the device on my new Lumia 900. I double checked and have the exact same settings set up on my HTC Surround, which is working correctly.
Anyone else have this problem or solution?
Thanks,
Mine doesn't do it either. I just assumed it was designed that way.

It should most definitely. How long do you hold down the camera button for?

No, it is not. Microsoft is very pround of the fact that press the camera button can wake up any WP7 phone in any state (other than shutdown) and launch camera app automatically. Try hold the camera button for a few seconds.

this worked for me, i think people are just stoping halfway when they hit the focus click
EDIT: mine only works sometimes
I've tried holding it down for a few seconds, longer than my Surround. I think it's a hardware issue. However, it does work with the lock screen in place. Just not at full sleep.

You got a point. Holding the camera button down does not work for me. Press, release and press again does. I wonder if theres a setting for that
I can also confirm that it does not work every time. I have to unlock and re-lock, shut off for it to work again. Hope this is fixable in a firmware update.

If the phone has been asleep for a while, it does not work. No matter how many times I depress the camera button and no matter how long it's depressed, it does not work.
It only works if the phone has recently gone to sleep and even then I have to hit it twice sometimes. IDGAF really, doesn't matter to me....

confirmed
Ok tried rebooting, changing camera button settings and it still doesn't work. Plus with others having the same issue I'm pretty sure it's a defect. Just giving up on the issue isn't a solution so I'll contact Nokia (God knows ATT won't help) and get back here with the results.
Keep in mind this was a selling point - "Smoked by Windows"
Guys... try pressing the button all the way in with some force. It should work. Seems they designed it so it will not accidently get turned on by mistake.

already tried and it wasn't designed for too much force

Ummmm... I feel like "EPIC FAIL!!!", but that worked . Just wasn't use to that with my Surround.
I figured it out
If you press, release, press, release, then press and hold for 2-3 seconds, the camera will start up from a fully closed state.
Mine works every time. No matter how long its been asleep.
I don't have one lol

trick with that camera button wake up: push it fast and hard.
from playing with two wp phones i've owned, i think it's because of the difference between focus press (no wake) and shutter press (wake). problem is they are two stages of the same button. the phone tells the user intent apart by measuring the time from passing first stage of button press (focus) to arriving at bottom of the press (shutter). if it's shorter than a particular value, it wakes the phone. that means you have to press it firm enough to get to the bottom of the press, and fast enough to beat that timer.
if you just press it lightly, it either doesn't get to the shutter stage at all, or doesn't get there fast enough.
it's a bit dumb, because you kinda have to slam that button hard. on the other hand, you don't want to accidentally wake the phone.
Quick press seems to work. Hopefully they fix the timing so it's easier. The Samsung Focus timing was good, and worked every time.
This is my first Samsung, and also the first phone I can remember using with a physical home button. I've searched around in the mess that is Touch WIz, and haven't found what I'm looking for.
Is it possible to set the home button to register taps instead of full presses, like the touch pad on a Macbook for example? It obviously knows when your finger is on it, so why do we need to press it in completely?
I'm sure I will get used to it eventually, but it would be nice if you could just tap/touch it like the two capacitive buttons on either side of it...
Thanks.

It does work with the Note 7, but not with the stylus from what I can see.

This works great when the phone is unlocked. Is there any way we can unlock the phone in similar manner?

Why not just press the home button normally at that point? I feel like a simple touch would be activated all the time in your pocket on accident leading to lock screen issues.

I came from a Nexus 6p and somehow I feel bit odd to press the home button (I know it's silly). I don't think a simple touch will unlock the phone in my pocket as the finger print is still needed to unlock the device. However this is not currently working with the above suggested app.

Wow never knew this app existed. I was using swipe gestures to bypass the home button but this works so much better! Doesn't work in all situations though I noticed.
I haven't tried that app yet, but I'll give it a shot. It seems like such a small thing, but between that tap/press and the reversed back/recent buttons I am like a drunk trying to operate this phone...
EasyHome works ok but not good as Virtual Home on my 6s so I uninstalled it

Just like how device will TURN ON Iris Scanner after swiping on lock screen only. Same but a press applies for the fingerprint. This app leaves the fingerprint sensor ON at all times. Will it drain battery? Does it cause any other problems?

Idk my thumbs work fine so I just press the button normally.
Hello,
sorry for my bad english. I have a problem with my HTC 10. The Capacitive buttons lights different. The left button are brighter than the right button. Have any user this problem with this 10?
Mine is doing the same. All the store phones had the back key brighter. It seems it`s normal.

When the screen is off it works as a finger print scanner.. U just need to tap on the button ..no need to press it.. Have u set up the fingerprint scanner in setting??
When fingerprint gestures are on..Taping the home button acts as a back button whereas pressing the home button acts as a home button..
If these features are not working.. U may have a faulty unit

You can change the navigation panel to show home button
If you're talking about hard pressing on the home button to turn it into a haptic physical button, the answer is no that feature is not present. I do kind of miss this from the note 8 but it's not too bad, it was mainly useful for when the UI froze

Man my note 9 had this feature and it was brilliant. Idk why they remove features and charge more.

They should at least have haptic feedback from the fingerprint sensor like every other phone out there. Just that reassuring vibration that let's you know your pressing something.
