Xperia X8 :: Camera Has Stopped Working All Of A Sudden?
May 4, 2011
The camera on my x8 has stopped working all of a sudden. When I turn on the camera, the screen looks pixelted, and when I take a picture the screen goes black. I just updated the software today (4 may 2011) and it has not fixed the problem. Will I have to take my phone back to the shop to have it sent away?
Yesterday around midnight my phone suddenly stopped working. I wasn't using it, it was just sitting on my desk and had been for at least half an hour.
When I boot it, it stays stuck on the boot animation.
Until yesterday it was running a custom built version of CM12.1 (from this thread: [URL] ...
With a ElementalX-N5-4.09 kernel.
I tried:
Reflashing the ROM Wiping and Reflashing the ROM Wiping and Reflashing the ROM, without ElementalX Wiping and Flashing an older version Wiping and formating of user data too + Reflashing complete reset by doing fastboot oem lock/unlock flashing of the factory image of Android 6
Each time the result is the same. When the phone was still running cyanogen I had adb while it was booting (that's no longer the case) and I saw nothing striking ... it would have one (pc) screen worth of log (logcat) and then nothing it would just stop. I couldn't spot anything in kernel logs either (dmesg/last_kmsg).
The recovery is working fine ... I was able to start an ssh server and use it... it's just android that won't boot.
I recently got a blackberry from ebay and set it up on PagePlus. I got the phone around December 20 and activated it the 21st. The internet worked fine! All of a sudden it stopped? I'm wondering why did it stop? I have plenty MB left.
so I was using the torch and all of a sudden the pinch zoom function stopped working (in or out)I figured maybe I hit a series of keys to shut the setting off? I can zoom in/out via a double tap on the screen, or by using the mouse
Just yesterday my phone has started to malfunction. A pop up window keeps appearing ''Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped''. I have to click it around 6 times before it stops popping up, this happens frequently every minute.
When I try to use my camera it says ''Unfortunately, Camera has stopped''. When go onto Settings, Half of the menus are unusable. If I click one that's ''broken'' It closes itself immediately. Â The sub menus that do this are: - Wi-Fi - Bluetooth - Data usage - Home - Display - Sound & notification - Storage - Apps - Tap & pay - Security - Accounts - Language & input - Date and time - Accessability - Printing - About phone
My power button suddenly stopped working this morning. I think it may have worked once with a really long delay... But since then I have to tap my screen a few times to wake it up. I'm worried that if my battery ever runs flat I won't be able to turn my phone back on.
Then I have realised my volume and camera buttons dont work either. They definitely all worked yesterday.
I'm really not happy with this phone. I look after it properly, it cost me a lot of money not long ago, its kept in a protective case and has never been dropped etc. I spent more money than I could afford on a phone thinking I should buy the best I can and I shouldn't have a problem with it being Sony, but so far I have been disappointed with it.
I spent an hour looking for a solution but all I can find is all sorts of recent complaints about this same exact problem with no working solution. This only happens with the rear camera. If I switch right away to front camera it works fine. The camera UI comes up with a black screen where what you are pointing at is expected to be seen. Also attempts to use the builtin flashlight toggle fails to keep the flash on for more than a second or two. Which is about the same time to error message when opening the camera. I don't use the camera much and so the last time I used it was prior to the update to (whatever of these numbers is the one indicating it: build LMY47D, soft ver LS991ZV5). Oh sprint LGLS991.
I have rebooted several times, force closed and cleared data and cache for the camera, and from most every place a factory reset was recommended but didn't correct the issue. So I have not done one and without a proper method to back up each apps data (without root, like it should have but doesn't, oh man am I still angry about that) this has to be a very very worst case scenario to do it.
So I've had my phone since May. Today I noticed that the camera seemed to have slipped down so whenever I take a picture there's a big black blur at the top. The rest of the picture is fine. What can I do to fix this?
I'm having an issue with my lg g3 camera. I've rooted, did factory reset, downloaded another camera app, cleared camera cache. Still nothing.
The only way I got the front facing camera to work is totally by accident, I found a work around with Snapchat. It I open the main page of Snapchat, I get an error message about accessing the camera. If I scroll down within the app (to see Snapchat profile) the front facing camera comes to life and I can take front facing pics..
The camera on my HTC Excalibur has stopped working. It's not just the camera button, because the button still works as SYM. I get absolutely no response when I try to run Camera.exe as well.I am using 3VO.3.50.033010 ROM. However, I have tried a couple of earlier ROMs and had the same malfunction.
My camera on my Iphone 4s has stopped working. I recently installed 5.1.1 and today when I press the camera app teh following happens
1. The app opens and displays the shutter.
2. The camera icon then goes from black to grey
3. The screen then goes black with the 3 icons at the top (Off, Options, & the camera reverse button) All of this happens without me touching the screen.
Sometimes the screen goes black and sometimes it goes grey. I can look at existing hotos and play existing videos but cannot do anything at all with the camera
Info: iPhone 4S, Windows 7, camera not working software 5.1.1
I was using my phone like any other time to take a picture and when I did, the screen came up with colors across it. My phone was never abused in any way. Why would it all of a sudden stop working. I haven't even had it for two months yet.
I have an iPhone 5S and the camera stopped working. It was still under warranty so no problem. Apple arranged for a new one to be sent and for my old one to be sent back to them. Before I sent it back I backed up the phone on to my iTunes.Â
Got the new one today and I have tried restoring the back up onto the new phone and I am getting the following error message 'The back up cannot be restored to abc iPhone because the software on the iPhone is too old. Apple haven't sent me an older version?
I've had my Nokia 5800 for a year now, and recently my camera has just stopped working. I press the camera button on the side and it doesn't load, and even going via menu>applications>camera doesn't work.
However, after pressing the camera button and going via the menu, the green circle shows that camera is open even though it isn't.Sometimes when i turn it off and on again, it will take on photo then stop working.Does anybody know what I can do?
My camera has randomly stopped working. When I press on the camera icon the picture doesn't come up and the camera button which you would normally press to take a picture isn't highlighted so its not an option to press.
My torch camera randomly stopped working. I used it one day and the next day it wouldn't work. It will work once in a while but most of the time wont. I've tried taking the battery and sim card out, I've tried updating my phone (the guy at my location bell store told me to do, he's seen this a lot) but nothing is working. I would really enjoy finding the answer to my problem without sending my phone away.
The camera zoom stopped working on my 9800, did the battery pull, complete whipe with a software update as recommended but with no success, problem remains.
I bought my 1020 and was working just fine, but after 20 days, the camera stopped working. This is what I did after it:
1) I tried a hard reset and it worked for a couple of hours 2) I tried a soft reset and it worked for 1 day 3) I noticed that when I changed the date to the past and turned it off, the camera strated working for some hours. 4) I don't have a warranty, because I bought in USA and here, in Brazil, they don't accept the warranty. Even so, I took it to the assistence. They updated the software and, after 1 day, it stopped working. AGAIN!!! They said to me that if it crashes again, probably it would be a hardware problem, but they don't know how to fix it, since 1020 is new in Brazil.
A few days ago, my N5's camera stopped working and none of the usual solutions (reboot, clean data and cache of camera app, even complete wipe and change of ROM) did anything to fix the problem. So I went on ebay, and bought a replacement back camera, fitted it and all was well...for a day!!! It looks like after just one day (and nearly no use at all) the new camera has already stopped working.
The camera stopped working on my phone. I uninstalled google camera then reinstalled it. It didn't work. When I hit the camera button on screen, the controls for the camera show up on the screen, but nothing works. The screen is dark (like there is a lens cover on it).
My blackberry bold 9900 has all of a sudden stopped charging and when I plug it in it says that its says that the charging source cannot connect to the device. The led is flashing yellow, like its charging and in the battery symbol is either the fully charged plug symbol or two letter maybe C B And now my blackberry software is not responding on the computer because it says my blackberry is not connected.
I have a Droid X with Android version 2.3.4 (system version 4.5.621). The phone ringer stopped working and I have to completely shut off the phone and turn it back on to get it to work, but then it will randomly stop working again. Also, the camera will take a picture but when you go to the gallery the picture is not there and it just shows a generic icon. I've done a factory reset on the phone twice and the issues keep coming back.
I have an iPhone 5S and the camera completely stopped working completely.The front camera and rear camera are just black. I've tried turning off the phone and turning it back on, restoring it, I've tried everything and nothing works. I did drop my phone about a month ago and cracked the screen but I don't think that has anything to do with it. Everything else works but my camera. One day my camera worked fine and the next day it didn't and hasn't worked since.
