Xperia Z3 :: Error Camera Not Available
Oct 18, 2015
When i try to open the main camera, the screen remains black and after some time "Error Camera not available" message pops up. However, the front camera seems to work fine.I tried restarting the phone, hard reset, factory data reset and repair from sony pc companion but the problem still persists. In xperia diagnostics, main camera and flash dont work.I had this phone for about a month now and this problem never came up. The camera problem came out of nowhere yesterday.

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.

Had to update my Z5 yesterday, never like updates always seem to mess something up. This time it is the flash, the light comes on randomly.and cannot be.turned off without a restart. Once happens can not use camera or flashlight both say it is already in use or error and to close before trying but there is no app open. As far as I know only have the two that use it, it is a pain as runs battery down fast, gets hot and if is in jacket not going to know for long time.

Since I made the lollipop 5.1.1 update on my Xperia Z2, I cannot use my camera. When I take a picture, it's automatically deleted and my phone displays an error message. I tried to force stop and clear data in the setting menu and restart the phone but nothing worked.

So, the first day with my new Z3+ - and the camera app won't even start. The phone is not too hot, I've tried the Norwegian reset (turn the phone off then on) and the camera app still won't start. All I get is an error message telling me Camera has been stopped.

I was taking snapshots with my Xperia Neo V, when my camera closed and now when I start the camera app, it says, "Unfortunately, the camera stopped". Using any other apps like Pudding Camera, It says, "Camera Open Error". My LED flash also does not work.

I got my Xperia pro yesterday, and when I tried testing the camera I found photos taken with it had huge translucent purple bars across them. This happened with every photo I attempted take. I then exited the camera app and went back in, and when I tried to take another photo it simply displayed "unknown error" and the app closed. It now does this every single time, meaning I cannot take photos at all.I cannot find any other reports of this issue online, and I have myself tried formatting the SD card; performing a factory reset on the phone itself and reinstalling the software using the PC Companion. None of these have worked and appears to have actually made the issue worse; now it will sometimes refuse the start the app altogether and display "Camera not available".

A friend is having troubles with his Z3 : He used to take pictures with the quick camera launch button, but since a recent camera or system update, when he use this button, the camera is set to automatic mode instead of manual, with poor resolution and quality settings. If he launches the camera with the standard button from the phone menu, everything is fine and perfectly set up.
When the camera is used from the quick button and set back to the correct quality settings and manual mode, after closing it, it goes back to auto mode with bad settings. Same thing when he slides the camera icon from the locked screen. The only way to get the proper settings when launching the camera is to use the icon from the phone's menu.
He tried a lot of things, from uninstalling the camera updates to searching everywhere on the internet, there is no information or messages about this problem.

I am having this problem with my camera on my c6-01 phone since some minor update before Anna. I dont know which update it was, but this is not important as I have updated to anna anyway (hoped to fix that by anna). But the problem persists.When I switch on the camera (by any method), it shows this error. I have tried to restart the phone, to reset the phone, to reinstall anna, nothing helped.Neither of the two cameras is working, in any application, nor in the video call, simply never.I have red somewhere, that there should be some (config) file in c: which if missing, is causing this problem, or if is corrupted, but I do not know what file it is.

I just got this phone and the camera doesn't work. I notice this seems to be a common problem with this model from other forums. The website fixes absolutely do not work. I've taken the battery out more than I can care to count. I stuck with a camera that doesn't work on this phone?

Today I flashed CM13 on my Nexus6P and it all worked fine until I tried starting the camera, which gave me the error mentioned in the title. Restarting the phone and erasng the app's data didn't work either.Also everytime I boot my phone it shows me an "your device is corrupted" screen (not the boot loader unlocked screen) and when the phone starts it shows me something like "there's a problem with your phone, it might not work properly".Is this my fault or is it a CM13 issue and how do I fix it? (I'm using today's official CM13 build with Open Gapps Mini arm64 for android 6.0)

So I flashed the final build of Lollipop on my Nexus 5, worked great for the first couple of days, now I'm getting a camera error, saying failed to connect to the camera. This only happens with the front-facing camera, and it works fine after a reboot but problem comes back after a day or two.
Back when I had an S3, the same thing would happen, but with the rear camera, I thought it was a hardware issue but now I'm thinking maybe not, since it's happening right after flashing a new OS this time (can't remember if the problem on my S3 was after an OTA, or maybe after rooting and going custom ROM)
