Good tip. Just updated mine to R1aa008 and it works perfectly. I am going to try it on my W900i now to see if it works on that too

Nope. Doesn't work on the W900i. It won't allow you to lock the keypad with the slider switch but if you open the phone and press * then menu it does lock it but when you close the phone and press the camera button it says keypad locked press * menu to release (you can release lock with slider with phone closed) Shame that!

I just tried it on my K750 flashed to W800 on R1AA008 an I can tget the camera to work either...

I tried locking the keypad, then opening the camera cover in the opening option screen = didn't work
I tried the same but in the music player = didn't work either...

Any ideas?

initially it did not work for me also. I started the phone, selected the music player option and started a song. SInce I have given "automatic key pad" on, my key pad was locked in a short while. After that when I opened the camera shutter, the camera got activated. The camera does not get activated unless the key pad is locked.

I do not know what is the software/firmware in my 800i

I can only use my cam in flight mode if the keypad is on auto lock - then I can use the camera in flight mode.

It just simply doesn't work on R1BC unless you have autolock enabled.
(my w800 is a k750 flashed to w800 r1bc.)

and i just discovered, that on mine the camera only works in flightmode until I go into the walkman menu. After that I have to actually start the phone fully before I use the camera again in flight mode.

So it's rather limited useage , although better than nothing.
