Hi everyone,
Yesterday I was installed 2.1 on my Xperia. After that, my camera stopped working. Everytime,when I try to launch it, i see only "Camera unaviablle". I was trying everything. First, I reflash phone to 1.6, and guess what - the same problem! After that, I was trying "Repair" in PCC and SEUS. Four times. Nothing... Anyone have any ideas whats going wrong? Problem was started after update, but I don't belive, that the update is reason. Please, help me. I have great phone, with great 8mpx camera, but I can't use it... I'm desperate.
probably a hardware problem mate ~ i think you should go to your dealer ~ wer you brought your mobile ~ hope it still on warranty ~ or you would have to pay extra costs !!
I think the same. But I still hope, that anybody have same problem, and it isn't hardware. But if it is hardware - then I'm going to disassembly my phone and take a look what is wrong. Maybe it is only problem with connector or something like this. I think, I haven't warranty after what I was doing with my kit...
in my x10 i cant do video recording only photo shoot
did u by any chane get this problem after installing adw launcher?
Yeah I'm having the same problem which I talked about here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826174
Lets see if we can find some commonalities:
Which phone do you have: X10a or X10i?
Which firmware revision? Nordic? Generic? etc
How did you flash it? Did the flash program say press enter to continue?
When the phone first started up, did you see a Camera --> Phone icon?
Anything else significant that you can think of?
1. I have X10i
2.Now, I have Global FW, but I have Nordic 2.1 when problem was apeared
3. I used Flashtool to flash to nordic, then I used SEUS to update to 2.1
4. YES! I saw this icon! And I knew that this is a sign!
Also, when I flash to Generic 1.6 my phone was bricked. Only vibrate.
I was thinking, that this is hardware problem. But now, thanks you, I think, that is software hopefully. It is impossible, that two person have the same hardware problem in the same circumstances
Do you have any ideas what goes wrong?
Camera worked the first time since 2.1, then I get the camera not available message. didn't try to go back to 1.6... Hope the camera didn't break..
Camera not available
Hey iv got the same problem, when I start the camera it says "Camera Not Available" iv tried everything iv re-flashed the phone used SEUS and reinstalled the FW however still the same problem. Done factory reset. cleared cache
Iv even downgraded back to 1.6 and the camera still doesn't work
it still says "Camera Not Available"
Can some1 please help?
Is anybody here, who might help us? Or tell us what is wrong, ane where we must search reason of this problem?
Hi,
Adding my woes listed in post 8993145
1. I have X10i
2. I currently have Nordic 2.1 loaded, but I originally had global 2.1 loaded and have reloaded that 3 times before I tried Nordic.
3. The firmware files I have are ok as I have flashed 5 other phones for work colleagues with no problem.
4. I used Flashtool to flash to global and I have also used SEUS to reload 2.1
I can successfully root the phone, and everything else appears to be working apart from the camera.
My problem is solved, I emptied the picture/video folder using a file manager (in the DCIM folder of the SD card). Camera is working again
I tried and nothing. So, my problem this isn't reason for my kit. Anyone else tried this method? Or anyone solved this problem? Or anyone want help us? Maybe devs? Even for money...

Worked here!! Camera is back again!
Update: It crashed again but i've tryied to remove Vignette (demo) of the device and it worked!
I have removed the photos held under the DCIM directory, but the camera is still not working for me.
I think we need bin4ry or someone who knows a bit about the flash process. I feel that the issue has something to do with something that stays between flashes. Otherwise, flashing back to old firmware would fix the issue.
Have you tried backing up your sd card then formatting it and replacing the files? (and empty dcim)

Tried. Not working. It's truth, we need bin4ry...
I have the same problem with my X10a, I flashed it with 2.1 nordic using bin4rys flashtool. I formated my SD and nothing.
Ah so the problem resurfaces
Back when i had 1.6 on my x10i ... the camera apk would crash when i clicked on the camera button.... [my work around is to use the "on screen" click option]
Hi. This is a simple question but I can't seem to find the answer. Is it possible to re-install the current ROM/Firmware of the X10 mini from the phone ? I went to all the menus but can't find this. Where is the option to whype the phone completely and re-install to default settings ?
Use seus, be carefull the new fw isnt rootable
Sent from my E10i
First I want to do this from the phone.
Second, I have just downloaded SEUS (2.10.12.15) and I have followed every options in there, and the only thing this software can tell me is that my phone is up to date and I can't do anything : I can't reload, can't re-instal firmware... I this normal ? Do you want screenshots ? (By the way my phone is running 2.1 and is rooted).
screenshots of seus
Here are some screenshots of seus, and I don't see where you can re-install the firmware...
Another thing, people keep telling me to go to Settings - SD Card and Memory - and to restore factory settings from there, but I don't have that option either, I just see options for SD card and available free space. Can anyone tell me how to restore factory settings on a rooted x10 mini running 2.1 ?
Another strange thing, I have a friend with X10 mini pro rooted running 2.1 and he has the restore factory settings option in there, and if you go to the SE website they this for the Pro :
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...ckupandrestorets/xperiax10minipro?cc=au&lc=en
and for the mini they don't says anything about that...
Go to settings, there is something with security, there you can load factory settings...
Sent from my E10i
try Settings/Privacy and there you'll see Factory data reset
another thing, try uninstalling SEUS (and PC Companion) from your PC, reboot and reinstall, just to make sure it clears your cache...
and try if the repair/reinstall option for your firmware finally shows up in SEUS.
cheers!
Dude ! You're a ****ing genius. Thank you so much. They put the damn thing in Privacy, in 1.6 it was somewhere else. Go figure.

If that doesn't work, reflash gapps.

Does your X10 switch off after it has crossed the 15% battery line?

My dear friend,
You obviously have no clue about the whole system, until you get used to operating system, i would recommend that you dont start flashing just yet. let's get you up to date on the whole thing.
Android is an Operating System it helps your hardware interact with the software, Freex10 and gingerbread are like windows XP and windows 7, the latest version of android is 2.3.2 a.k.a Gingerbread, Freex10 is version 2.2.1.
Considering you dont know anything about flashing, i am assuming that you are using the stock OS supplied either 1.6 (Donut) or if you have updated the OS, 2.1 (Eclair). You can verify by going to settings-> About Phone -> Android Version.
Gapps refers to google apps like maps, voice dialer, google search, market etc.
For the time being what i want you to do is tell me which android version you are using and also how exactly this problem started.
Regards
E
Click on the thanks button if my post was of any use to you
No...it turns off when I open Maps o Wisepilot and try to get position using the GPS....few seconds after the app start running ,it switch off and switch on again...
I have android 2.1 updated.... I have an app named Juicedefender and MYLookOut...I delete memory booster app and Auto killer. The maps app star working rigth wit the GPS for a while but few minutes later the phone switch off again....
Try updating apps of it still does not work try flashing the phone by going to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 download the flasher and the firmware from http://www.mediafire.com/?sqv6274anzfzn2x
Extract the flasher zip file, open the program X10FlashTool.exe
If the firmware is of the extension .ftf
copy the firmware to the firmwares folder found in the flasher folder
if the firmware is not in the .ftf format
Advanced -> Bundle creation -> select the folder containg the firmware -> enter details required ( Device, Branding, version) -> select all the files present in the folder list (on the left side) and transfer to the firmware content -> click ok
-> click on flash -> select the firmware -> when asked connect the phone in flasher mode and you are good to go.
If you require busybox or root or xrecovery it will be found in the advanced menu.
Now update Maps and try again,

I was making some test and the problems happen also when I opne GPSTest app. Yesterday I used the SonyEricson Companion Software to repaire the phone (I think is like "reflash the phone"). After that I install superuser, busibox and I rooted my phone. Finally activate the GPS and try to test it using GPSTest app but it works fine for a couple of minutes and after that the phone turned off by itself.... Don´t u think the problem could be the GPS Hardaware instead of software?......By the way , It seems like the problems showed up after I updated my phone fromo android 1.6 to 2.1-updated....
the link you wrote for getting flash and firmware is for xperia X10i but my phone is X10a is there any problem with that? O I need to look for X10a?

There is a possibility that it could be your hardware and since no other user is helping us out, i think its best you reflash using SEUS and DO NOT root the phone and go to a nearby service center and show it to them
Yea the firmware link i gave is for x10i, my bad i thought you had a x10i anyways it doesnt matter because i have heard of users who have installed x10i firmware on x10a anyways for the sake of safety of you mobile, in the flasher website, if you scroll down a bit you will find firmware for the x10a

Ok I reflash the way you told me...I selected the firmware for x10a ...everything was OK after I reflash the phone until I see that I do not have data conection anymore!!....I am in mexico and I was paying a data conection using EDge and 3G but after the reflash I can not havit both of them!!....now what_
Thank you so much...I fix the data conection problem...I need to restore my system settings backup. Now it seems to work properly incluiding the GPS....I am gonna test it the rest of the day to confirm is 100% ok....Thanks a lot
Always there to help a person in need bro. Take care and if everything is fine, i would recommed that you root the phone and try out all the features possible on the mobile, make it worth your money

Did you go back to 1.6 or 2.1? Just in case that it is a hardware problem, i would suggest that you take the phone to your local dealer and ask for a replacement device.
Better act while you still have warranty.
I will do that....after I reflash the phone , the problem comes out again...Afer a couple of minutes I activate the GPS and opened the Maps, the phone crash, I mean it switch off...
Im gonna ask warranty....regards
mine use to do it but it stoped after the third time
hey all i have a problem i updated my x10 minis firmware using bin4ry's flash tool after that i managed to root it and to get xrecovery and all but thats not the problem the problem is my phone has no signal now :S it displays the carries name (movistar) in the notifications screen, i can use internet (although theres no "speed" icon like 3G or E in the top bar and its slow) wifi turned off
but i cant make phone calls!! and i have the little red "x" in the signal bars

try installing a different rom?
me too have the same problem.I flash using bin4ry flashtool.My x10 mini lost network.Please help me.I want the phone back.
i dont realy understand
Check you've installed the correct firmware and not transformed your 'international' device into an 'american' one. It sounds to me like the device cannot pick up your native network. Double check where you've got your ROMs from and read through the forum pages.

i tried this thread.in seus.it shows as there is no software available for this phone.what to do.please help me
did you try the factory reset yet?use the one in the the xrecovery.If it does not resolve your problem, try some other option like "Wipe Cache Partition", "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Battery Stats", all in the xrecovery,some them are in the "advance option" of xrecovery
If you can not access xrecovery, try the reset option in the setting of android
remember to backup everything before doing this!!
i tried this too.still having the problem.any other solutions
