My x10 Xperia phone's camera does not work for whatever reasons. It worked before, as for now, I had to use the app from the market to take picture (but without zoom feature).
Sorry if this thread topic had been asked.
have you tried by clickin on the camera icon instead of the button?
if is not working i might say that the app is screwed so a fw reinstall, update or if anyone sends the app to you will work

I downloaded the app called: CamerFun Free (or something like that but no zoom in feature though)
I got the camera to work but only with Touch Capture mode.

Tried it, did not work my friend. So, that was the reason why I used the TouchCapture mode now. Deleted the CamerFun app just now.
idk then, sorry for not being able to help ya more
yes what is up with my new phone ???
What the piehole??!!!!!... the same crap has happened to my camera about 2 weeks ago... and I have never flashed the phone ever.... i thought it was a drop that somehow rattled the phone....
1. I open the camera apk and when i click on the camera button the entire application turns off.... if i attempt to zoom in....nothing!!!....
2. I was forced to downloaded camera 360 pro (free of course) .. installed it just to get to take a pic...this app allows me to use the screen as a camera button.... even with this apk....camera 360 says "your camera does not support focus adjusting"....wtf!!!!
3. Does the camera.apk have a time out limit....? Where can we get the default apk back
camera fix
okay i uninstalled both camera 360 and camera 360 pro
then go to... settings ... applications ... camera and then "Clear data"
change ...capture mode ...to "touch capture" [ bypasses "faulty" camera button]
everything seems to work .... with zoom now...

Title says it, I don't have that option to turn it off. Is it just me?
I think the update removed it..
I've also had more freezeups after the update, along with unresponsive touch screen until you lock and unlock. Anyone else have an increase in these issues?

i haven't loaded the update yet. on mine, withouth the latest 2.08 update, i have an option in the camera settings under geotag, etc, which says shutter sound with a check box. this is disappears after the latest OTA to 2.08?
are you able to adjust the volume down with the external volume rocker and see if that prevents the shutter? although its a lame work around, ihope it helps as its better than nothing ..
i personally dislike the shutter sound and its kinda lame/fake and not really needed so i'm glad they have provide the option to shut this off in the past...thanks for the heads up on this!
correct no more option to turn off sounds
with all sounds disabled/muted it still makes noise
the volume rocker is zoom in the camera app (for those that didn't know)
There has been a bill in Congress introduced in 2009 to require cell phone cameras to "click". Its called the Cell Phone Camera Preditory Alert Act. So far, it hasn't had much traction. Maybe HTC knows something we don't?
crappy fix, grab the old camera, put it in place of the new one, change permissions and reboot
Set up with no sound, then copy the new cam app back, fix permissions, reboot and voila.
POOR method. Restore from titanium might also work, haven't tested that.
make a profile with "Tasker".
when camera app is active, all sounds are disabled.
thats what i do with my legend, using CM7...
but on my evo i can disable the shutter sound!?
Also, looks like it removed mirror app that was tied with the camera app.
do u removed mirror app?
i have it already installed, and turned shutter sound off.

shortcut to the "good" method above would be somebody with the shutter sound turned off can post their preference file and ppl can download/copy that into their camera app directory ...

Hey joey, thanks. Any idea why mirror is missing also? This is with a clean install. When I overwrite my nand backup it works but then native screenshots don't work.
Will somebody post up there camera preferences please.

Shutter Sound App Fix!!
Hey all...I've spent the last 2 days looking for anything to get rid of the shutter sound, or at the least, enable us to turn it off WITHOUT having to root my phone and void the warranty. The ONLY fix that I found, was to download this Silent Snap app at this link: m.androidzoom.com/.../silentsnap-camera_gfij.html After I downloaded it, it took care of that annoying shutter sound, and even better, the app is FREE to download!!! I hope this helps!
Silent Snap
Just letting you all know, that you don't have to use the app every time to make the Shutter Silent...
Just open the app once to turn the Shutter off...but please notice it also puts your phone on silent as well...But once you've opened the app, and exited out of it, you can now use your Volume Down Button to put your phone on Silent, and it will also turn the Camera Shutter off!
I recommend not staying within the Silent Snap App, because after taking about 3 or 4 pictures, it brings up ads, so just be sure to use your regular camera when taking pics to resolve this issue.

OPen Camera 360 go to setting by press the option key (the one next to the home key) under setting un-tick the Run with hardware compatibility mode and you are set.
Its probably because the application doest support HD screen aka pixel size so it defaults to the regular. Some apps do this. Try and ask the apologize Dev for HD screen suppot

Wondering if someone can help, on my Xperia s when I am in my home screen or any other app and I press and hold the camera button it will launch the camera app.
But on my girlfriends Xperia s this doesn't work. (launching camera in lock screen still works)
Does anyone know where the settings for this is?
Thanks

Maybe due her launcher? It isn't a different configuration on the launcher?

I may not know the answer, but it's worth trying to re-flash the unit without wiping your user data.
The same thing for me! Quick shot works good.... but many times when i press the camera button with unlocked phone or in menu....the apllication doesn't start.....i must re-press 3/4 times.

This seems to be the issue I am having, pressing a few times eventually loads the camera. Have tried reflashing, and makes no difference.
One thing I have found was that in the service menu and software info it says no file found for memory card. And touch firmware version as 6, while my working Xperia s says 7
On my Xperia S i have file for memory card (in the service menu) and touch firmware version 7 also.... but the problem with camera app happens very often!

This looks like a software issue as the camera button works perfectly fine and quick launch for the camera works everytime when in the lock screen.
I have reflashed with different versions of firmware so I guess the memory card and the touch firmware versions are physically different hardware I suppose.
But this is just really bugging me at the moment!
Do you guys hold the button for like one second? Cause the camera starts only when i'm holding it a little.
Just touching the button has no effect in locked mode or on home screen for me.
Is there a flashlight app that I can run in the background and use the video camera at the same time? I want to record videos at night and can't find a torch that does this
i dont have an answer for your question, but i can tell you that creating so many threads is only going to annoy people.
Best of luck searching for your app
Regards
Jack
"Tiny flashlight + LED" did do this when I had my Dell streak and recorded a few videos with not much light. I've not tested it on the S3 and I have a low battery so can't now. Just turn it on and press your home button to leave it lit up and then try the camcorder.

Just use the stock camera app, set it to video and then set flash to on. When you press record, the flash comes on and stays on until you press stop. Same feature was on the SGS2 and gingerbread.

Hi everyone,
I hope this is the right forum, this is my first thread
I am having a problem with ANY AOSP rom I ve installed, no matter wich kernel I try with the rom. When taking a picture with flash in auto mode or ON mode, the phone shuts off and I ve to pull out my battery to reboot. It happens 8/10 times. With flash OFF it works OK
I ve reading lots of threads of people with similar problem even in different devices (nexus, etc). The weird thing is that in tw rom (wanamlite) or any stock sammy rom, the camera and flash works flawless.
I ve tried almost everything. I really want to switch to CM or PA with Halo and this is backing me down.
I ve read in other threads that sometimes is has something to be with the battery but I ve tried 3 different batteries, 2 original and a chinese one, tried taking pictures with battery full, battery low.. and still shutting off on AOSP and flawless on touchwiz.
I ve tried every single camera app in the store. All shutting off my phone in AOSP and working in touchwiz.
however I discovered that with the flash in TORCH MODE (allways on) I can take pictures without any problem. Tasker has an option to take pictures and set the flash to torch and this is what I am using. However, its anoying to use this workaround because with tasker I cannot see what I am taking photo at. And with a camera app that supports torch mode, the flash is allways on, not only when press the take photo button.
I am trying to make tasker turn flash on, press take picture button, and turn flash off, so I can create a scene over the camera app button to make tasker run this task (or use overlays to make a floating widget)
I managed to find the tasker way to press the take photo buton (input keyeven 27), and I tried to use tasker and TESLAflashlight to turn on and off the flash before an after the picture, but teslaled doesnt work while the camera is in use by the camera app.
However, if I use the system widget to toogle flashlight or the flashlight app that comes with CM, the flash on and off switch works while the camera is open!
The problem is that I cannot make tasker interact with the flashlight widget (it is not a shorcut so i cannot use autoshortcut)
Is there a shell command to run in terminal emulator that can turn on/off the flashlight while the camera app is in use? That would solve everything for me..
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, wonderfull comunity, and sorry for my bad english..

All those camera's that you also tried, just use the existing software and libraries so if your main cam was not working, they definitely wouldn't either.
The TW port isn't fully functional. You'd need to stay with AOSP cameras.
When you say every AOSP ROM you tried, could you name some? It might be a camera firmware issue. There is a thread about camera firmware somewhere.

I ve tried paranoid android 3.97, cyanogenmod 10.1 , temasek 4.2.2 and temasek 4.3, cdroid, and in each test I tried siyah kernel, googy max, and of course the kernels that comes with that roms by default..
I ve also tried the huawei camera..
I ve updated the camera firmware in the way this threads mentions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113526)
NOW MY FIRMWARE IS LIKE THIS
Phone/CAM FW Ver Check:
REAR CAMERA:
Cam FW VER: ZDFF03 / (I used to have ZDFE02)
Phone FW Ver: ZDFI02
FRONT CAMERA
CAM&PHONE: S5K6A3
The same problem of phone shutting off used to happened before I updated the firmware..
Really driving me nuts
EDIT:
Now I ve updated the firmware once again and now It is like this
Cam FW VER: ZDFI02
Phone FW Ver: ZDFI02
booted into temasek and the problem persist
:/

Nevermind bro, thank you for your kindness..
UPDATE:
I ve realized that the problem has place only when my battery is below 60%. I am thinking thas the problem has to be with battery/voltage/etc..
The weird thing is that I ve got 3 batteries and in all 3 of them happens the same. And stranger than that, is the fact that on touchwiz I can take pictures with flash even when 5% battery.(so its not a hardware problem)
Maybe AOSP roms have a different way of managing voltages. I ve tried to use steaks and reduce cpu/gpu voltages a little but it didnt help.
I will buy a new battery different to the original ones that i have and try again.
If someone is interested I share my workaround.
I use tasker and use "take picture" using torch mode (I made an scene over the shutter button of the aosp camera app so when I click on it tasker takes the picture). The problem here is that the pictures are stored in tasker folder, so sometimes it takes a while to appear in the gallery.
Or the other method I am using is the following. I used overlays to put a invisible widget toggle of the system flashlight on top left corner of aosp camera, and another invisible widget over the shutter button to trigger a tasker task. The tasker task consist of a couple of console lines that simulates myself touching the screen, so it simulates a touch that toggles de flashlight, then simulates a camera button press and then again simulates a click over the flashlight widget to turn it off.
I know this sucks, but is the only way so far
I ve managed to find a workaround with tasker only
su -c "echo 1 > /sys/class/camera/rear/rear_flash" (turn flash on)
input keyevent 27 (take photo)
su -c "echo 0 > /sys/class/camera/rear/rear_flash" (turn flash off)
The result is pretty the same that the camera flash on.. no blurry pictures, torch duration the same, etc.. so thats it for me..
I hope this can be usefull for people having the same problem.
I tried taking a picture at 30% with "A better camera" with flash and it worked on CM, but with the default camera app the phone goes black
This has been pestering me for quite a while now, at first it started below 20% battery, then 30% and now 50% ... I've ordered a new battery yesterday and I have it charging now, will know when its below 50% when it's any better.
Maybe it has to do with the camera firmware, but I doubt it.
Solved. Was the battery in my case. The 3 batterys. I think that messing around with charging voltaje in stweaks made my batterys gone bad. I ve ordered 3 chinese new batterys and now never shutsoff
