CDM-8900: Locking photo button
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

So I look down at my phone earlier and notice that the subscreen is displaying a nice image of my leg.

appaerantly with the phone closed... pressingthe photo button (the one in the blue LED) and holding it for just second will activate the camera with the sub lcd on....

Actually a somewhat cool feature in theory, but.... its way to sensitive and i cant find anyway to lock it. I have no idea when i bumped it or how long it was on... but my battery was way low by the time i noticed it.

anyone know how to lock that button

You prolly already know this, but you can restrict (lock) the camera itself which will lock the outter photo button as well.

Kind of a pain because you have to unlock the camera each time you use it, but that's one way.

menu + 7 + 4 + 2 + 4 and select "restrict"

I don't know how you can accidentally turn that on...

Mine actually has to be held down for 2-3 seconds to turn it on...wonder if that came with the new software burn???

it seems to happen mainly when sitting.... using the belt clip twisted all the way to the right...

i dont know if its hitting my coat or what but its annoying...
i've also timed it and it only takes 1 second to activate.

yup...just tested mine and it's a second...did you try the lock restriction? I like that setting anyway because it keeps everyone from playing with my camera when they want to see the phone...lol.

i tried it... and it does lock the button... but its kinda annoying for everyday use.... plus one bump on the button and u cant see the clock anymore... just a stupid "camera restricted" message that doesnt go away.
