AlanHo Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I am now regularly using a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 smartphone – which has the best camera of any of the phones I have owned to date. But it has a very irritating feature. There is a small rocker switch on the side of the phone for adjusting the volume – and it is in the exact position your thumb falls when you take a picture in portrait mode. I am forever finding that just as I am about to take a photo my thumb inadvertently squeezes the volume rocker and the volume bar pops up on the screen – thus preventing the photo from being taken. So I have just spend an hour “fiddling” in the garage and have made a small black plastic “guard” which is epoxy glued onto the side of the phone and prevents my thumb from operating the switch. I can still adjust the volume – but it requires a deliberate action with a finger nail. It is only glued to the main body of the phone and not the rear cover which is still removable. Problem sorted.

doug Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 What about your warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANEMAN Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Brilliant ! - There would have been me grinding my thumb down on the bench grinder to solve that little problem. Warranty ? - there wont be any South Korea to make a claim from soon. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
