Camera app disabled with low battery

**ajaxkiller** · 07-16-2012, 11:29 AM

Last night I was out with some friends and at the end of the night my battery was low from showing of my new phone all day. While we were having a few drinks I went to take a picture , opened the camera app and low and behold a pop up window appeared and said low battery with the only option button as close.

Was it not one if the selling point to this phone catching life's moments ( wedding commercial )

Anyone know how to disable this and allow pictures when battery is below 5%. Don't know about you but I would like a choice about taking a photo or having my phone last another 20 minutes

Only 5% on the S3? On the Mesmerize it was <15% -_-

Other roms have the feature disabled I'm sure, not sure though if anyone's done it on the S3 yet.

Easiest solution is to download a camera app from the market.

To tell the truth It very well could be 10-15% I will test next discharge. Was a little tipsy when I noticed.
