Xperia U camera Button is not working

Wed, 25 Jul 2012 17:04:45 GMT

The dedicated camera button of the xperia u is not responding. Tried several times by pressing harder and it is not working.I dont think it is an issue with the software. I can take photos by pressing the camera icon on the screen. Most probably the problem is with the back cover. It is a 2 weeks old phone.What should do? Any suggestion will be great.

Remove and put the back cover once if it doesn't work, ho to Sony 's authorised service center.

@aman_sonewane thank you so much for your reply. Tried pressing the key hard and its still not working.

This is an expensive phone and after giving that much money for this phone we dont have to spoil our fingers and waste time by wrestling with the camera key and im not ready for any kind adjustment with this phone. I've called the sony shop from where i bought the phone. LOL believe me they said that it is it due to the expansion of the plastic cover due to heat conditions. they asked me to bring the phone to the sony shop and they can replace the cover. I suggest you to contact the service centre and replace it.

Restart the phone and try again. If it still does not work, perform a Factory Data Reset at Settings > Privacy.

If despite this it still would not work, a service center would have to look at it.

What do you think about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.

My camera key was working fine, taking pictures but then I updated my phone and it stopped working. when i press the key the camera focuses, flash light turns on but picture is not taken. if i take pictures with on screen button it works fine. also my phone is not going into camera mode from locked screen despite correct launch and snap settings

Open Camera, Click Settings Key, Swipe to the second page, click Quick Lauch and select Launch and Capture.

the camera button must be pressed hard because its like you must press it twice, first the lighter press is for focus, then the harder press for capture..

Try to repair the software with PCC or SUS and check if it works.

If it doesn't, go to a service center.
