IPhone :: 3G Camera Shutter Not Opening (AVF Error 11800)
Apr 6, 2012
I am using iphone 3g with ios 4.2.1. When I open my camera the shutter dosen't open. I have tried from other camera app (Camera Plus). It say "AVFoundationErrorDomain error -11800." I have restored it three times. But the problem is still not solved.
I own an iPhone 3GS and ever since I updated to iOS 5.1 I have been unable to access my camera, I can successfully view my photo's but not able to take new ones. I have tried fully restoring and resetting and the problem has remained the same.
the rear camera works fine, but when i select the front camera the shutter remains closed and never opens.
if i open the front camera frst, the rear doesnt open till i restart it i have restored, set up as new iphone and updated the sftware, but the front camera shutter doesnt open and remains closed, i have read online of others having this problem and some suggest changing the camera, which i got someone to do, yet the same fault remains
I updated to iOS 5.1 on iphone 4s - when I try to open my camera from aps, it opens to a closed shutter and does not unlock. I've tried to reboot, restart everything, but camera will not work.
I buy the blackberry bold 9900 mobile and after 1 month when i use the camera it showing the error message could not start the camera close other application and try opening the camera again i remove the battery from the mobile and restart so many time and i not able to capture the picture . and also update the software.
My phone frequently returns a message "Error! Camera not Available!" when opening any application which uses a camera. This happens specially when the applicatons that scan barcodes are used ("AT&T Code Scanner", "OK Scan"), but not exclusively. Among the apps bringing the camera to a crash there are some of good reputation, like for example "Perfectly Clear". In the emergency mode the camera works OK.
The issue is the same as in this thread for Z1, however it disappoints me that the same happens in Z3 which is so much newer.
The support advised me to clear the data for the camera (Applications menu) and restart the phone. No dice, so they advised to reset the phone to factory defaults. I did it twice, due to after the first time I found exactly which apps caused the problem. It took me a day to restore everything to the original state .
Afterwards, the camera was stuck by "Perfectly Clear", a decent app written by a "Best programmer". I was depressed.
However, there is a solution: simply clearing all the apps running in the background (["three permanent keys in the bottom" | "two rectangles" | clear all], or [an icon with a green brush]). This works without a restart.
When I try opening the camera on my phone I get the error message: " Could not start the camera, close other applications and try opening the camera again". I did a reboot, did OS update from Blackberry Desktop Software, checked menu button on phone for open applications..How do I fix this?
I keeop getting this error "could not start the camera. close other applications and try opening the camera again" I don't know what to do. I have tried to pull the battery and close apps but nothing seems to work.
A month or so back my iPhone camera had something half blocking the lens. I was just wondering, is this the camera shutter? Or does the iPhone even have a shutter?
is there an app that lets you use the iPhone 4's volume button as a shutter button for the camera? I remember I had an app like this when my iPhone - was jaillbroken
two days ago i tried to launch my camera.app and the shutter wouldnt open. i tried hard resetting my iphone and resetting it from the settings>general>reset but it didnt help. i tried using an application from the appstore(camera+) but the screen was always black. today i updated to 5.1 and im still not able to get the shutter open.
i have tried everything as advised over the net. it seems that the last option for me it go to an apple store. but then again, i have been seeing this iphone 4 glitch topics as old as 2010. is mac doing something about it? iphone 4s is my first non sony ericsson phone (been using se since 2005) and with the product pull outs i have chosen iphone over samsung s2 and this is what i get. as much as possible i don't want to have my phone replaced. i bought my 4s last feb 19 and i can't believe this is happening!
has anyone been experiencing problems with their camera on the iphone 4s running ios 5.1? if you have and have found a solution, excluding having to send it back "home"
