Stop Camera from turning on

[jziggy101]

On the M8 if you press the volume buttons while the phone is horizontal the camera is enabled.

The problem I have it the cradle that I use to carry the phone always has the phone in a horizontal mode and if my belt or something happens to hit the volume buttons the camera is turned on. I notice the phone getting hot when the camera is on for a long time.

Is there a way to stop this? I looked in the settings and thats where I saw the function to turn on the camera with the volume buttons when the phone is horizontal but I can't find anything to disable this.

M8 still unrooted and bootloader is locked. I will be getting around to those things shortly.

Anyone?

Settings --> Display & gestures --> Motion Launch gestures --> Turn them off. You can't edit what volume buttons do as far as I know, so just turn the motion gestures off. It saves battery a good bit with them off anyways. If you root, there may be a way to change just a specific gesture, but I'm not sure about stock.

I will give it a try. I did not want to completely remove the gestures but it would make my battery last longer without having the camera turn on when not intended.

I looked into it a lil more, no way to edit the gestures individually on stock. Need xposed to edit them each
