Any idea why the Glyph Mirror can't be used with the Camera?

I thought the whole point of it was to line up a shot with the main camera?

It is ! Is it not working properly?

Long press to fire a picture!

Please do a glyph mirror working from camera app, especially when video recording.

Um, it can.

CMF1_hacker how are you activating the glyph mirror? If the camera is active on mine then you can select glyph mirror with the glyph button but long pressing to activate it vibrates but it doesn’t activate. And if the mirror is already activated and you then go into camera it turns off the glyph mirror. So it seems like you can’t have glyph mirror at the same time as the camera app running - which seems a shame! I’m on version Metroid-V3.5-250711-2047-EEA

Edit: Oh wait.. You can take a picture with the glyph mirror but it works separately from the camera app.. Just long press the glyph button again once it’s active.

ninjatrout I have the phone locked. long press to start the GM … cycle through to GMirror and long press.

Did I make a fingerprint for the GM (?) otherwise, I can store photos of my privates on all NP3s. (I never made a fingerprint otherwise as I have my phone PIN locked.)

**Interesting, I can use all my fingers and toes with the capacitive button to take a picture on a PIN-locked NP3 …. hmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!

same ROM (25JUL11)**

CMF1_hacker You can activate camera on locked android devices anyway. 🫣

ninjatrout not on my previous phones. I’ll turn the glyph mirror off, I guess.

Sorry it me so long to get back to this. At first I was goin to say I was being an idiot and trying to take a photo from the camera and or volume button. Don’t know why it didn’t occur to me to long press the actual glyph button. Then, I figured….WHY DOESN’T IT work from the camera app. Seems pretty obvious. I find long pressing the G button is kind of awkward. Kind of wish it was a real button at least.
