Camera not available - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I updated my father's Xperia Mini pro from 2.3 to 4, everything seems fine except for the camera
I get "Camera not available" error, I installed a 3rd party app (camera360) it worked for a day & now I get fc on that one too
So what are my options here? re-update? any other solution?
I remember Bin4ry releasing a camera firmware for X10 in the old days which solved a similar issue
is there something similar for my situation?
Thanks

go to app section and search for cyber-shot. i think it should help if not just redo update.

Try to reflash your firmware..

Check the battery level
I have a Mini Pro, stock kernel and stock Gingerbread (rooted). I get "Camera not available" when the battery level is low. It may not be related to the upgrade

Thanks all for your input but I think the only way is to reflash, it happens even when the battery is full
camera360 works but only if the default camera app is closed, when you open the default camera app and then go to camera360 it gives FC & you need to close the default camera app & try again

Working version attached. testet on 2.1 AOSP b0006, but should also work with original SE firmware. have to say i don't like it that much. Design is really nice, but the old one was more intuitive to use.
I had it come through yesterday afternoon on my x10 just opened the market and there it was but I also own the htc desire which is 2.2 generic but that's still got the old market. So it nice to no the x 10 got somethin first for a change lol so sk_700 your theory is shot to ****

Yes same here. Very annoying. I had some apps that needed updating and when viewing that particular app, the 'update' button text is partially cut off at the top too!
I hope they fix it soon.

[Q] X10 Mini Pro Restarting on Camera

Hi all,
I apologize first if my post is in the wrong place.
I am from India and got this very recently.
i just bought a x10 mini pro and updated to 2.1. tried to root it with z4 root but didn't work. now (i don't know if it was due to the partial rooting) the phone reboots when i go to the camera mode.
I will explain the steps i did here.
1. after a full charge the camera works. only some time.
2. i unlock the screen, press the camera on the screen and the phone reboots.
3. (after a little experimenting), if i dont lock the screen the camera mode works in and out perfectly. if i lock the screen and unlock, and then enter the camera mode it reboots.
4. also some bugs-- after taking a picture the same picture taken is locked on the camera mode, even after exiting the gallery mode and it takes some time to register the new scene on the screen. something i didn't expect.
also downloaded the app for the flashlight and if i press the light on button it restarts.
well i don't know if you understood that much. but there are 18 apps installed by me. i hope that it may be due to the apps i have installed, and only a couple of them are running. even when they are not running the matter is the same.
I previously was using a W705 SE and is a member of se-nse forums. this is the first time i am using a linux/android phone and this thing has let me down. is this a hardware related or a battery problem? everything looks SE genuine except the product is made in china by SE and imported to India. Maybe that??
Other than that the phone works ok. i just found out how to root the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906231
so will try that and change all the apps to sd card. have a 8GB on that too. is there any detail i have to give about the phone?
Thanks all!

Hi, try to reinstall camera app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826849
Good luck
ok bro, will try it.
I did as said but it installed a different app and that says 'no camera available'. Is it really for the x10 mini? And it doesnt replace the default app. But the default runs seperately as usual. Is there any way to correct this problem? Thanks!

Hey,
Reflashing the phone will solve the problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
actually, the phone was flashed 2 timed by me, and 1 by the se service centre. I guess I have to change the battery. which makes no sense to me.
thanks for your ideas.

[Q] Comrom 2.0 weather app issue

I saw a couple of other people were having this issue but I haven't seen a solution yet. After installing ComRom 2.0 I can't get Weather Bug to work. It just force closes. Any other weather app I attempt to install just kind of fails to complete the install. No error or anything. It just doesn't work. Anyone out there having this problem manage to solve it? I have reinstalled the rom cleanly with full data/cache wipes with all the different kernels and it is the same thing every time. Any help would be appreciated.

i dont use weather bug personally, but i can attest that fancy widget pro and beautiful widgets work fine
Hmm, weatherbug pro working better for me than it ever has. Go figure.
with how heavily edited the com rom frameworks and many apps are, theres bound to be issues with some 3rd party apps here and there...logcats of the issues help...but dont at all guarantee any of us can fix it or that its even worth trying in some cases
the stock debloated roms are probabaly the best for no/fewer issues/conflicts

I can confirm this. The free version of weatherbug FCed on me, but the pro version works great.
The pro version is working fine and dandy for me as well. It just doesn't update initially after a reboot. But tapping to update once media scanner is done fixes it

Good to know. I had seen that some people had success using the elite version but I hadn't seen anyone that tried both. I can spare the $2 for the pay version. Thanks a bunch.
Randomly there was an update to weather bug today and now it is working fine. Go figure.

Sound enhancement stopped (Xperia S Walkman)

This keeps happening in most of the versions of the player that I use. But why? Do I need to delete semc.music/walkman before?
Thanks
I just noticed there is about 6 Walkman/Xperia S app threads now and on each of them I get this message. There are also many users asking this question and we could all benefit from figuring this out.
Any ideas?

have you try full wipe ?

If you have installed one mod and installed another one on top of it, you get these problem So if you have any mod restore your phone to a previous time and then install a new one
Yes I agree, so I have backed up an untouched original and have been modding and restoring that one. I think I may have found an answer - I went to the music app and sound enhancement app and walkman app and cleared all data of those 3. It then worked...hopefully that will work next time I need it.

Sony Movies/Video app for Xperia X?!

Guys, Why the Sony Movies/Video app version 9.6.A.0.4 or any older version not working for our X model. It has features like Video minimise option and we can see every video thumbnails in single tab! Our X model has entirely different Video app. I don't want that app.
When i tried to install the above mentioned version app or any older one's the app closing even not opening for a second! Sometimes the app works when i cleared cache but the app seems to having a glitch and then it closes! Does anyone knows how to install that app without root?
I can use the app in my old Xperia ZR but it's not working in X!

over the years sony has let go many things / features / apps
ZR was KK days! i am sure its too old for O kernel!
no matter how amazing that feature for you might be! its time to move on
you may try some similar versions from apkmirror

I already tried disabling the stock video and video remote apps and then installed your app. Still doesn't worked!
Look for the problem on your device. Everything is OK for me.
Also, have you uninstalled the Movies/Video app itself before installing the mine one? They have different signatures, you know.
I cleared data and disabled stock video app and Installed your app but it's not installing. It says "App not installed". Mine was stock rom 8.0 with latest July Security patch!.
I once tried installing 9.6.A.0.4 and some below version at that time it installed but didn't opened for a second. But when i do cleared cache it worked for a little time and then the app had glitch and stopped working. I did this a month ago!

If you are unsatisfied, I can record you a video where I am installing this app to the same stock 8.0 ROM with July security patches.

The deal is not in kernel, but in libs + Android version. Guess there is a way to make the new Video app work, but it'll require root.
Also, there is no good and lightweight alternative to Video/Movies app, sadly.
No need man. I installed the Video app from apkmirror. I don't understand why your app doesn't worked for me but i installed the same version app you gave me, from apkmirror and it worked! Thank you very much man. I never thought I can use this app in X dual!
I don't know what the problem is. But the thing is latest Video app from apkmirror do work but the app is having a glitch sometimes it closes saying "app closed". But when i deny app permission like calling and clearing cache, these tricks do working for little time! See the app glithc screenshot below! Ignore the yellow light i just activated night light app!
Okay now i am doomed now i don't have the video rotate feature within the app! What the hell is wrong with Sony?! Sony apps are not working on Sony smartphones?! Why? Why Sony Why?!?
