I've got another problem with camera after update to 6.2.A.1.100...
When I use Quick Shot/Launch camera - sometimes i get a message 'Error! Camera not available'
The problem is ONLY when I use Quick Shot/Launch on locked screen. When I normaly turn on camera, by using 'Camera' app from menu, everything is ok:

I've tried repair phone by PCC but it does't fix my problem (or install fw Generic World or Central Europe).
On ICS, Quick Shot works perfect, but on 6.2.A.0.400 I've got another problem (black screen / camera FC)
Can you escalade my problem (try to several (maybe 5-6 times) Quick Shot/Launch the camera on locked screen and next lock screen)??
I tested Quick launch in Safe mode. And what?
Everything works perfect!
There must be a process which can't run the camera in quick launch (I have not installed anything apps using camera).
Which one?

I tried to clear data, reinstall software many times... anything doesn't fix my problem.
Finally I found the solution - I have installed JB MoonBreaker v3 (test) from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42565512&postcount=836
Everything was ok, so I thought 'I have a warranty to my phone so I have to back to stock firmware .100'
After flashing the firmware by flashtool, resetting to the factory defaults, problems came back
I'm sure that is not a hardware problem - only software must have a bug.

my last opinion for your issue maybe you can try to re-download ftf file fw 100, because on me camera work fine..

What do you mean, saying 'camera'?? When you choose 'Camera' from menu?? Or choosing Quick Launch on locked screen?
Camera - from menu always works fine for me, but Quick Launch - not always...
I downloaded .100 Generic World and problem still persists (earlier I had .100 CE).

Hi everyone,
Yesterday I was installed 2.1 on my Xperia. After that, my camera stopped working. Everytime,when I try to launch it, i see only "Camera unaviablle". I was trying everything. First, I reflash phone to 1.6, and guess what - the same problem! After that, I was trying "Repair" in PCC and SEUS. Four times. Nothing... Anyone have any ideas whats going wrong? Problem was started after update, but I don't belive, that the update is reason. Please, help me. I have great phone, with great 8mpx camera, but I can't use it... I'm desperate.
probably a hardware problem mate ~ i think you should go to your dealer ~ wer you brought your mobile ~ hope it still on warranty ~ or you would have to pay extra costs !!
I think the same. But I still hope, that anybody have same problem, and it isn't hardware. But if it is hardware - then I'm going to disassembly my phone and take a look what is wrong. Maybe it is only problem with connector or something like this. I think, I haven't warranty after what I was doing with my kit...
in my x10 i cant do video recording only photo shoot
did u by any chane get this problem after installing adw launcher?
Yeah I'm having the same problem which I talked about here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826174
Lets see if we can find some commonalities:
Which phone do you have: X10a or X10i?
Which firmware revision? Nordic? Generic? etc
How did you flash it? Did the flash program say press enter to continue?
When the phone first started up, did you see a Camera --> Phone icon?
Anything else significant that you can think of?
1. I have X10i
2.Now, I have Global FW, but I have Nordic 2.1 when problem was apeared
3. I used Flashtool to flash to nordic, then I used SEUS to update to 2.1
4. YES! I saw this icon! And I knew that this is a sign!
Also, when I flash to Generic 1.6 my phone was bricked. Only vibrate.
I was thinking, that this is hardware problem. But now, thanks you, I think, that is software hopefully. It is impossible, that two person have the same hardware problem in the same circumstances
Do you have any ideas what goes wrong?
Camera worked the first time since 2.1, then I get the camera not available message. didn't try to go back to 1.6... Hope the camera didn't break..
Camera not available
Hey iv got the same problem, when I start the camera it says "Camera Not Available" iv tried everything iv re-flashed the phone used SEUS and reinstalled the FW however still the same problem. Done factory reset. cleared cache
Iv even downgraded back to 1.6 and the camera still doesn't work
it still says "Camera Not Available"
Can some1 please help?
Is anybody here, who might help us? Or tell us what is wrong, ane where we must search reason of this problem?
Hi,
Adding my woes listed in post 8993145
1. I have X10i
2. I currently have Nordic 2.1 loaded, but I originally had global 2.1 loaded and have reloaded that 3 times before I tried Nordic.
3. The firmware files I have are ok as I have flashed 5 other phones for work colleagues with no problem.
4. I used Flashtool to flash to global and I have also used SEUS to reload 2.1
I can successfully root the phone, and everything else appears to be working apart from the camera.
My problem is solved, I emptied the picture/video folder using a file manager (in the DCIM folder of the SD card). Camera is working again
I tried and nothing. So, my problem this isn't reason for my kit. Anyone else tried this method? Or anyone solved this problem? Or anyone want help us? Maybe devs? Even for money...

Worked here!! Camera is back again!
Update: It crashed again but i've tryied to remove Vignette (demo) of the device and it worked!
I have removed the photos held under the DCIM directory, but the camera is still not working for me.
I think we need bin4ry or someone who knows a bit about the flash process. I feel that the issue has something to do with something that stays between flashes. Otherwise, flashing back to old firmware would fix the issue.
Have you tried backing up your sd card then formatting it and replacing the files? (and empty dcim)
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Tried. Not working. It's truth, we need bin4ry...
I have the same problem with my X10a, I flashed it with 2.1 nordic using bin4rys flashtool. I formated my SD and nothing.
Ah so the problem resurfaces
Back when i had 1.6 on my x10i ... the camera apk would crash when i clicked on the camera button.... [my work around is to use the "on screen" click option]
As stated in the title. After I flashed the 2.3.3 official rom, the camera doesn't work...all I get is a 'unknown error' and ''Camera not available' error.
Any suggestions will be nice...
PS...I've restarted and re flashed many times to solve, no success.
I tried the EWJet Gingerbread Rom and I have a black screen whenever I switch on the Camera. I dont know what the problem might be !
i had the same problem with you yesterday, tried to restarts the phone but it doesn't help. but the the problem gone after a few times i restart the camera app, after phone complete making cache files - i think.
My only problem now is, how to get auto focus in HD video recording, i did'nt find any menu to enable this feature. I saw at a review topic that this feature is realy enabled

Exact same problem!
I think EW should update his modded ROM, because not only camera not working...
Lockscreen not working, home button not working and extreeeeeeeeeme lag!
He shouldn't just upload an incomplete ROM with lots of issues and ditch us poor users here fending for ourselves.

I think it is SD card related as if you un-mount your SD card it works. Weird that its only affected some of us.
Formatting the SD card worked.
Thanks for the help guys.
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991442
It's related with 2.1 software, but who knows, maybe it helps you.

thanks for the link, but its for 2.1 so I don't think it will work on 2.3 The problem is fixed anyway.
thanks though
Weirdly the problem has come back to haunt me again :/
I've found out that other camera apps work perfectly for example 'vignette' It just seems to be SE camera app that's the problem...
camera
My ta Xperia X10 with the same problem, there is already a solution to this problem with the camera in the 2.3 version of android?

Hi been having problems with my SGS3.
The fault is it keeps rebooting its self, sometimes you can get on the homepage but after a minute or so it'll reboot again. If i use the rear camera it works fine, but as soon as i use the front camera it says camera has failed. To use the rear camera again i have to clear the camera cache. Also when i use S Voice the phone freezes. I'm using 3UK Firmware Jelly bean stock and the phone is not rooted.
So should i RMA it or is there a solution to the fix..?
Any help would be greatfull.

Believe that a software error.
Use Odin or Samsung Kies to flash new firmware.
Firmware can be found on sammobile.com
Think that should work
try a factory reset, but you will lose data, so backup first
i've done all you mentioned but no luck. RMA it this morning.
Hi,
I decided to flash new system by flashtool, but it turned out that the camera does not work. It looks as if the background of application is loaded, but nothing else shows up, even after a few minutes. The phone is not suspended,I can click Home button to return to the home screen, I can go back to the process by Recent applications, but the camera still does not function properly. I have flashed different versions of ICS like ST25i_6.1.1.C.1.0_T-MobilePL, T-Mobile Croatian version, generic world. The phone repair in Sony PC Companion, re-installs the same version of the system, but does not fix the camera. Applications such as Camera MX also does not work. I did not notice other problems with the phone apart from this unfortunate camera. When I returned to version ST25i_6.0.B.3.184_Generic_World, the camera began to work properly.
My phone is Sony Xperia U ST25i
Edit:
I installed 4.0.4 ICS BN: 6.1.1.B.1.54 this time. After installation, I removed all data in the internal memory and restored to factory settings. Also I removed any data related to camera under Settings->Aplication. Nothing of this helped. Any other hints?
Some days ago I installed a Resurrection Remix Rom (I actually don't know which one, sorry. I just know that it's got Lollipop) and when i went to the camera it said: <<Can't connect to camera>>
I still had warranty, so I installed the stock rom (I checked the camera and it still didn't work) and I sent the phone to the company. IMPORTANT NOTE: In the warranty ticket it said <<SOFTWARE ERROR>>
The only camera I can use is the "selfies" one
When I received it, the error was fixed, so I tried to install another ROM, so I installed CM12. But... I got the error AGAIN and I haven't got warranty anymore
That's what I tried
-Install Reset Camera and Camera (CMFix) (Camera CMFix didn't open and I had Restart Camera Installed :v)
-Checking if an app is having troubles with the camera
-Rebooting in safe mode
-Holding down the volume/power/back
-Clearing Data and Cache of the camera
-Removing my SD card
-Renaming the DCIM folder
- youtube. com/ watch?v=Fa9qggQJ990 (I can't even access to that menu ._.)
-Find “Use NuPlayer” and uncheck it & restart
-Using other camera apps
-Disabling the Google Camera and using the default one
-EDIT: I installed the Stock Rom with odin and did a factory reset. I even did a "system reset" with odin. AND IT STILL DIDN'T WORK OMFG. Then I tried to update the camera firmware (youtube. com/ watch?v=Fa9qggQJ990) because I've got KK now, but the "Phone/CAM FW Ver Check" is disabled. I googled my camera Cam FW Ver and it's not old
Thank you, I'ts a really annoying error. My S3 is giving me too many troubles, I'm starting to hate it... But I can't buy a new one :crying:
OHMYGOD I CAN'T FIND A WAY TO FIX THAT ERROR HELP PLEASE

If you're confident that its not a software issue, then go ahead and unroot your phone and show it once (sometimes the problem maybe that the camera slot just got loose). But 'can't connect to camera' is common from cm12 onwards. Maybe its a kernel problem. The fact that stock firmware also failed is something abnormal. Even in a few Touchwiz roms, kernel changes led to cameras not working.
Anyway, If you're still on stock rom do to the dialer and enter
*#7353# quick test
*#*#4636#*#* for test and information
*#34971539# for Camera Firmware Update and
*#7412365# Camera Firmware Menu

I did *#7353# and tested the camera and it told me Can't connect to camera again, I can't choose "Phone to CAM FW Write (Main)" in *#34971539# and *#7412365# and *#*#4636#*#* didn't work
I guess It's a kernel problem
Thank you so much!
