So got a new phone... And... No camera! The camera crash when the phone starts with the video app. Cannot open the camera app (the app crash before anything is displayed). Other camera app (Google camera) says "cannot connect to camera). Factory reset failed.
I have discovered that post lollipop software update (not to android 5 but the update to it) the start up chime is now linked to the media volume and not the system volume.
This means that if I'm listening to music or watching a movie and leave the media volume up, the chime will play - incredibly annoying considering the system is on silent.
I'm getting blurred images in macro mode or when the object is close and the camera app is failing to recognize close objects conssistently. I've tried repairing my phone but no dice. The issue is greater in case of small objects, eg flowers, etc and the camera doesn't even focus properly on it, resulting in abrupt and blur images.
Currently, when I want to take a picture with my phone and I touch to open the camera app, the screen would turn black, with no image. The only thing that would show is the camera button and the option to go into the camera settings. There's not much within camera settings -- either switch the main or front camera and the photo capture mode (scene, night, HDR, etc.), restore to default, etc.
If I t back out of the camera app and go to the home screen and try to get back into the camera app, it would pause for a bit (about 5 seconds) before popping up the imageless (black) screen. Then, a message would pop up saying, "Sorry! Camera is not responding. Would you like to send an error report to HTC?" I would be given the option to "Don't send; Wait; Send Report". If I go back to the home screen a third time and then try to open the camera app again, it would say "unable to start camera".
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 have always setted my camera app to shot video at 60fps and it works great. But... why quick launch can't start filming at 60fps (it does at 30fps only)?
I received my new x10 mini phone a few days ago and am really impressed by it.But...After the phone has been off, the camera works fine the first time I start it.And if I close the camera application and start it again straight away it also works fine.But if I wait for maybe half an hour or more and then open the camera application, the phone reboots itself
on your 2nd gen moto X with moto voice, have you ever noticed when you tell it to take a selfie with a selfie command, it starts up the regular camera not the forward facing camera with a 3 second countdown timer?
i just updatet my z3 and now it wont start! it gets to the first screen with white text saying "Sony experia", then shuts down, starts up to the first screen and then shuts down...
I've encountered this issue (I don't know if I can call it an issue), with my Z2, when i turn it off, and back on, or when restarting the phone, after it has finished the starting sequence, it shows me in the middle of the screen a message saying: Powerfull communications, your messages are evolving....and some other text....and at the bottom it makes me enter my phone numer with country code...and to hit ok.....but it appears about 6 times, hitting ok for six times before it disappears!
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 xperia z2 is completely discharged, while I do not use it. He lay there for about a week, maybe more. Now I tried to turn it on, but it does not turn on. Does not respond to a hard reset, and not charging. I tried to charge it for 2 consecutive days. He did not turn on. When I tried to connect it to a PC, the red LED lights up. Do not run any mode fastboot nor flashmod. The LED is still illuminated. Although the phone is not connected to anything.
I tried using Sony Bridge for Mac to update my Z3. Naturally, it failed (I had massive problems updating the other Xperia I had too).
All my phone wants to do now is say 'The software update failed.Make sure your phone is connected to a computer and try again'. This is, of course, a ridiculous thing to suggest, as my Mac will now not recognise the device as I can't turn it on.
Five days back purchased a Xperia X10 and upgraded the memory to 16GB. It was working fine since yesterday morning, when I updated the phone through SE PC Companion software.
First SEPCC presented a message for update then it told to disconnect the phone from USB, switch it off, remove battery for at least 5 sec., put battery again, connect it USB with pressing back button. After that it starts downloading the update and then tried to install the update. But it failed 2 times.
Right now I am not able to start the mobile even by removing the memory. On the screen it displays SONY ERICSSON text and a '!' mark inside a triangle.
I been trying to update my xperia ray to android 4.0 but it keep saying unable to instal or start phone software, I read the previous comments and post and some people posted link to some page in sony but that also didnt work because that is actually asking me to download again the same pc companion software which i have already install. any way to solve this?
The start button on my Sony Xperia Z3 D6603 suddenly stopped working.Also the volyme controls next to it.I have shut down the phone with the reset-button behind the hatch, next to the SIM-card-slot, in hope that it would do some change to restart the phone. But now i can´t get the phone back on.
How do i start my Xperia Z3 when start button / power button does not respond?Is there a way to jumpstart it?
I have 100% power in the battery, and the battery icon shows when i have the power cable connected.I have tried to connect it to my PC with the USB-cable (with 4 treads in it, for data communication, and not only for charging), but PC Companion don't find my phone

I tried to update my sony xperia neo V today several times. but again and again I get an error msg "Unable to install or start phone software update components." even tried to reinstall sony pc companion but it doesn't work.I am already install the UPDATE SERVICE (SUS)
I can see that there is a new update for my Xperia Neo but when it gets to the second stage (preparing my phone to update), it says it is 'unable to install or start phone software update components'. Anyone have any idea how I can update my phone or why it won't let me update it now???
When i try to ugrade my phone software i get the error message "Unable to install or start phone software update conponents" . i restarted phone, pc suite, reinstalled, but my phone is not getting upgraded. pc suit says latest upgrades are available. Even if i go for repair phone same option comes.
Hestory : last night i tried to upgrade my phone using Sony Update service. it ran upgrade and everything was new. all previously installed softwares are gone.
Symptoms: it shows android 2.3.4 version on phone but in PC suit while, upgrade using pc suite it says vrsion 4 .a .XXX , and upgrading to 4.b.XXX ... then it proceeds and fails with error "Unable to install or start phone software update conponents" .
Could not connect to computer. I have installed Sony P.C. companion but when I try to connect through USB phone isn't detected. I've tried alternating between media storage mode and mass storage mode, no luck. Tried connecting through Bluetooth but again no luck. Just keeps saying 'no phone connected'.
The update keeps failing and the message "process1 initialization failed" keeps coming up on a blue screen. I have reset the device a number of times by depressing the volume and power buttons but the same message keeps coming up. Each time the phone keeps restarting, displaying the spinning gears and shutting down again.
Unable to install or start phone software update components''I have the X10 mini and I'm trying to update the software on it. I've downloaded the PC companion, and the error shows up at the 2.Prepare stage of the update.
I have rebooted my computer and the phone too, and that error message still pops up every time I try to update.
