Xperia Pro/Neo/V/L :: Front Camera Not Available Since Update To Android 4.0.4
Jan 9, 2013
Updated my Xperia Neo V with PCCompanion to Android 4.0.4 and when trying to use Skype I noticed that the videoconference works but only with the back camara. I see the other person on the screen but I have to turn the phone around so they can see me.
Front camara worked great before this update perfectly. Looked at a couple of other posts around internet but the only response is to go in the camara options and select front camara... but it isn't there anymore since update.
Rest of the phone seems to work ok, only issue I've found is this with the front camara. Read a post about using: [URL] Haven't tried it but will it affect the phone since it's an English version download?
the icon on the camera menu to switch to the front camera and back seems to have dissapeared after SE latest update using PC companion.How should I access it ?
After I updated brand new Xperia Ray to Android 4.0.3 using PC Companion, the front facing camera is no longer active - I cannot find a way to switch from back camera to front.Before the update the switch from back to front camera worked OK.. When I checked Skype the camera was working there but still not working in main Camera application.
Also I cannot find the Sound Recorder but the Settings => Appl shows this aplication as existing on the phone.
I'm looking for a replacement phone for my BB and wondering what recommendations you had. Here are my requirements:
Must haves-
- android 2.2 - front facing camera - NFC - LED or some type of visual notifier - coming from bb this is important to me! - Wifi/GPS (think this is standard nowadays)
Nice to haves-
- HTC - 4" screen - Thin
Are there any phones out there (or about to be released) which meet the above criteria?
I have a Xperia Z3 +. After the latest update of Android's camera my device in manual and automatic shooting mode is out of context and Zoom, I can only use other capture modes and some applications that take pictures.
i updated to ics only to realise that in camera mode i don't have my front facing camera anymore so far that's the only problem i have with the update.
I am using Android 4.0.4 when I make a video call with Skype I can't switch on the front camera. I can switch the camera on in normal camera after pressing mode for a few secs though but not in Skype.
I have xperia z3, i cannot use my front camera in some applications. (viber,skype even messaging) if i wanted to send a picture using the front camera i should go to the camera icon first. but in regards to calling front camera is working.
When I'm using the front camera as it saves the actual image doesn't seem to be as clear as the imagine on the screen itself. Also when using it in certain lighting conditions it seems very grainy.
Upgraded my Xperia Ray to ICS last night and when I went to test the face unlock, it only prompted to take a picture with the rear camera.Also the phone camera shows the same screen, without the icon to switch to the rear camera.
I used to take pictures with the front camera of my xperia mini pro! But now the icon has disappeared and I don't know where is it! So I can't take front pictures anymore! I would like to know if I deleted the icon, or if it's anywhere else!
So I bought an Xperia z3 in the US just before Christmas and now that I'm back in the UK I find that the front Camera doesn't work (it is a hardware fault) and worse still Sony in the UK won't fix it as its not from here.
Appalling customer service from Sony and I'm regretting moving away from apple.
I received update to lollipop 5.0.2 and after the update i couldnt use my front camera i dont found it in the camera app the button to change from main camera to front dissapeard and when i use mirro small app it gives me Front Camera Not Found ,,
My z2 cameras rear and front have stopped working for no reason, when I try to open the camera I get ' unfortunately, camera has stopped'. I've done a factory reset and I've also done the software update and nothing!
Something really weird is happening with my xperia mini pro (sk17a): Whenever I turn the front camera on, WIFI DISCONNECTS!It reconnects automatically as soon as I turn the front camera off.Is this a known issue? Is there any solution?
I know this isn't the first time someone start a discussion to talk about this problem, but I still couldn't find a solution in the others discussions. Since I updated my Sony Ericson Neo V MT11a to the new android 4.0 through PC Companion, I'm not able to switch to use front camera or use the face unlock. It just seems that there's no front camera on my phone. I've already tried Software Repair twice and nothing. I'm not the only one with the problem as I could see on my surfing.
i hav upgraded my neo v to ics 4 but after upgrade i m not able to use the front camera for taking pics ? also i m not able to make video call from my phone it self though i can video chat using gtalk and skype
Why video call are not possible on xperia ray ? All 3G networks include now 3G video call at the same price as classic call. I mean by "video call" real video call, not call using internet network (over WIFI or 3G) that needs special application on both mobile phone (google talk, face time).
Video calls allows to call any mobile phone. These feature was a standard before android. My old Nokia supports it. So why SE android phones doesn't support it whereas Samsung allows it? Moreover, if video call are not supported front camera is useless whereas nearly all old 3G phones can uses video call.
my front camera on xminipro is not working ,ive done factory reset already a few times but still the icon is missing.i have not done any upgrade on my phone either.and also can i do the update using my sd card,instead of usb cable?
