Why the headphone jack to control the camera? Both iOS (since iOS 5.0) and Android (since Android 4.3) have had a stock camera function wherein the up-volume button serves as a physical shutter button on the camera. The other method of interface is the headphone jack, which is the kind you have.
Even then, however, you can run into the same problem if the Bluetooth device is designed to function the same way as the wired version we’re about to look at. More advanced Bluetooth selfie sticks like this Kootek model even include multiple buttons for zooming, triggering the camera, and other functions (if your device supports such advanced tricks, that is). What the heck? What’s the deal? How can I get my selfie stick to work with my Android phone?īecause manufacturers big and small are cranking out selfie sticks in record numbers to meet the surge in popularity it’s not particularly surprising that the documentation that comes with them is lacking or nonexistent don’t be surprised if you buy one and it doesn’t come with any instructions at all. If I swap out my phone for my wife’s iPhone though it works just fine. Here’s the situation: I bought a generic selfie stick that looks like just about every other selfie stick out there (telescoping pole, button on the handle, little phone jack cable on the end that you plug into the phone’s headphone jack to control the camera) only when I hook it up to my Android phone it doesn’t actually take pictures it just zooms the camera in from 1.0x to 4.0x. This problem isn’t exactly mission critical (and feel free to tease me about it) but I recently bought a selfie stick and the thing just doesn’t work. Please feel free to rip on us in the comments. Yes, we wrote an article about how to use the Wand of Narcissus selfie sticks.
Read on as we help straighten things out and get you back to taking photos with an extended reach.Įditor’s Note:We’re sorry. If you’ve recently picked up a selfie stick to use with your Android device you may have run into a significant problem: the trigger button doesn’t actually take a photo (but instead zooms the camera in).
