Hey everyone! Since the Xperia Z hasn't any camera swich like the Xperia ZL or the Xperia Z, I was wondering if it has any quick start mode like an icon on the lockscreen which works when I have a code as unlock method.
Thanks in advance for any replys.

Yep there's a camera icon on the lock screen as well as a music icon. I think you can change these in the options also.

Yeah, I know they are there but I was asking if they are there too if the phone has a code as unlock method, because usually all quick start icons dissapear on Android when a code is selected as unlock method. I had the Xperia S with a camera switch which worked to take photos even if the phone had a code as unlock method.
As far as I can tell the pin unlock, face recognition and the pattern unlock are all google lockscreens hence you won't see any customizations on them. As a matter of fact on HTC phones when you select any of the 3 you would end up having 2 lockscreens to unlock. 1 is the sense lockscreen and next would be the one you've selected( pin unlock, face recognition or pattern unlock)

Note I said watching, I know you can take pics while recording videos. The only reason I asked is I am not sure when I will have time to be going back to a three store to check it out.

That would be interesting to know, also I've noticed that when you take photos whilst recording the megapixel is only 1, I hope an update ups this...

I think it is a good feature because say for example your watching a movie on your phone and you see a funny face or a nice car or whatever. You can take a pic/screenshot of it. I know you can do it on HTC One s/x, GN2 and now S3 since update to 4.1.2

Agreed! It is a great feature, I just hope Sony allow a higher megapixel when recording for the camera as 1mp isn't ideal!

I found out you can take screenshots whilst watching videos, which is good. Just have to hold power button/down on volume button.

Not quite an ideal way, compared to others but at least it's still possible!

Isn't that the "stock android" way of taking screenshots since 4.0 ? I think it's present in most 4.0+ phones, even with TouchWiz.
So sad that there is no Camera button .. but anyway its a really nice smartphone in my opinion..
So I just messaged ZTE about how I think double clicking the camera button to launch the camera would be a good feature. I thought, that's too simple, there's no way its NOT there. Sure enough I look in the manual and it says " In other screens, Press twice to launch camera..." when I double press it does NOT open the camera.
I hope some dev talent picks up this device. The hardware is there just needs some polish on the software. I'm very satisfied with this phone, My first none Nexus device since before the Nexus S. I was blown away by the design and specs so I had to get a hold of one.
Yeah that feature seems to not be working at all. Bummer too.
I noticed something interesting today with my axon. When holding down the camera button in any other screen, the haptic feedback triggers. So something is assigned to the button, it may just be a programming error.

So im not the only one! thank god I was worried I had some sort of internal hardware issue... It gives the slightest vibration on a double click but nothing launches.
EDIT: I just tweeted at AXON about this issue. Hopefully bring it to their attention and we start getting some polishing on this otherwise pretty great software.

the quick launch feature was removed last minute out of fear of taking pictures in your pocket. It may be readded at a later date with a software update. If you have any questions call 1-800-617-5065. that number is a VIP line just for the axon pro

Hmmmm well on Twitter s/he told me they would look into the issue So I hope that they come through... If anything a double press when the screen is unlocked would be cool too.

Their R&D dept is very consumer friendly and one of their guys at headquarters is a nexus guy and he's on XDA all the time.
Yea their customer relations is on fire. I just got a message on Twitter about an update from the problem I asked about a few days ago. I'm very impressed.
Well, at least I do.

the home screen and app drawer have been made denser, 5x5
The Command center date/time/battery widget is now a single 2x2 icon , not an expanding one ( I don't like it) I tried some of the unofficial ports and they appear to only work on non stock launchers
edit: and this is just an Oreo thing in general, pressing the moto mods shortcut in quick settings is an on/off toggle, press and hold does what you might expect
I just got my unit. I can get a spining white ring on the front facing camera when I lift to wake with face unlock, but I can not find the option to turn it on for phone calls and messages etc.... I get edge lighting for 10 seconds or so.. I would love to have this option as I saw it active on a random video but I cant find the video again... I am fully updated with the software as well... does anybody have any ideas or know how to enable this feature? Thx!
Not a feature (yet) we all hope that Samsung will do it...
On reddit the consensus is this is a feature that would be in a future update. I saw screenshots from Samsung support confirming this.

That's for the rear flash, not the front facing camera ring around the front facing camera...
Will be nice to have a notification light up there.
But...

The options he gave are still helpful for now though, as not only can you enable the rear flash, but the front screen to flash yellow when you receive a message. It's something at least for now. I just hope Samsung pushes out an update to enable the ring around the camera to be used. Just makes total sense since they removed the LED notification. :fingers-crossed:

I'm from the UK and purchased from Vodafone, I checked for updates and an update popped up it was around 400mb, I updated hoping this was the one. But still no circle of light notification.

An update got pushed to my S10e just a bit ago. Might be the one you wanted?
Circle of Light does not exist. The only thing that exist is the possibility as this is the actual screen and not any special hardware. The same edge lighting like concept can be used to illuminate pixels around the camera. If samsung does not do something, let them release the source and give us access to api's. we can do it ourselves. We just need to modify the edge lighting feature to shrink it to camera cutout and increase timings etc. I am feeling so lost without the notification LED. My pre order does not have a cancellation option. If I had I would have cancelled.
Will the ring light has potential burn in risk?
Should be. If you closely take a look at the camera cutout and the front camera animation, you'd see it's a part of the actual screen. So, It have amoled burn in risk unless or if samsung can access the pixels through hardware directly without actually turning on the whole screen.
Hello,
I just updated my P10 plus from Android 8 to 9. I noticed that status bar icon's positions are mixed. I guess, they have been placed there because of notches on the Android environment but my phone hasn't got it.
I'd like moving wifi, cellular and volte icons to the right corner of status bar.
How can I set these as i desired. Thanks

It doesnt matter. Same issue could be happening in P10 devices too
This is a "feature" of android 9. Wifi, cellular and volte icons will be on the left side. There is no bug and you can't change it.

It's not a bug but not a feature also, it was the solution that Huawei opted for their phones with notches, it shouldn't be like this for the P10/plus and mate 9 but unfortunately Huawei thinks that this is a good idea, which isn't, it's a total mess in my opinion
Not only Huawei... My wife has Nokia 8 and it is exacly the same.

I disagree, since Android pie, Google moved just the clock on the left side, everything else is the same, and Nokia phone are Android one devices, so stock android, so just the phone is on the left(and notifications as always) but Huawei kept the phone on the right and moved the phone signals, wireless and others on the left which is a total mess. Just my 2 cents
