So now that I have my Lumia 1020 in hand the first thing I wanted to try was seeing if the Pro Cam app would quick launch with a password protected phone. It doesn't. You still have to input your password.
Any chance we could get a workaround for this? Software patch? Maybe assign it to Kids Corner so you can swipe to Kids Corner and launch the camera/app? Just throwing ideas at the wall and see if something sticks. I haven't used WP8 or Kids Corner yet so I don't know their limitations...

Ahh, was just thinking the same thing in another thread. Can anyone with a WP8 phone verify with the smart cam app in kids corner? That should be treated the same way as the pro cam.
Just tried the kids corner idea but you still need to enter your password or PIN to access the kids corner first to launch the Pro Cam or Smart Cam apps.
Dang, so kids corner needs a passcode? why? Isn't the corner so kids can't mess up the phone or get access to things they shouldn't be? If they need to enter your pass code to get into that feature, what is the value add in that? They could then just get into your regular phone too, right? Sorry, not too sure how it works with a passcode
Yes I believe if you have a passcode then Kids corner shares that same passcode which is stupid.Dang, so kids corner needs a passcode? why?

Apple is the only one that has gotten this simple function right..

The kids corner PIN thing must be new...it doesn't ask me for a PIN to launch kids corner on my 810. But since we're the forgotten ones...we're on old code. I *do* have to enter my pin to get back into the phone after leaving the kids zone via the power button, which is intended behavior. Also, I added "smart shoot" to my kids zone (different than the smart camera app, but still a 3rd party camera app) and it doesn't ask for a PIN to launch from within kids zone..but again I'm on older code than most of the rest of the lumia universe so YMMV.

You have no idea. iOS will not even let you set an alternative default photo App. Also, it does not have the dedicated photo button that this forum is talking about.
