[Q] Camera turning itself on

[beergut100]

Hi
I love my Sensation, but I do have one small problem. Whenever I use it I seem to catch the camera with my thumb and have to turn off the camera before I use the phone. I realise I could just move the camera button, but then I would just get the same issue with another app.

Has no-one else had this? It happens both with stock ROM and ARHD (currently using 6.6.5)

Not to be rude, but it doesn't sound like a "phone" issue...

To answer your question, no I do not have that problem.

Well, I beg to differ, but it is a phone issue, as that portion of the screen appears to be over-sensitive. I thought other people may have had the same problem and the fact that they haven't would seem to indicate that it could be a fault with my phone, which is what I was trying to establish.

Interesting choice of words there.

Overly sensitive?? You happen to touch the icon for the camera app, it opens, and you're surprised?

My goal here is to help, but...
Sorry, I'm speechless.

Really? Your goal appears to be condescension. I am not an idiot, I have owned other smartphones, even other HTCs, but even my palm on the side of the screen opens the camera. I am not even directly touching the icon.

Please don't bother replying to this, as it is not helpful, but IS very annoying.

Have you tried just kind of training yourself not to touch it? I believe that is the first and potentially last step to solving this problem.

Took phone back to shop, they agreed that the screen was faulty and it has now been fixed so that the problem no longer occurs.

Still, thanks for your help folks
