So I'm a big fan of all the alternatives like Camera360 and Vignette, but somehow when GB came along, everytime I install one the app is able to run until you actually try and shoot a photo. Whether its focusing or shooting, hard button or screen tappin, the application freezes and the phone says 'camera not available' when you try it with the stock camera app. Theonly way I found effective out of it is a restart.
Is this normal? I have tried reinstalling the stock camera app but the phone won't allow me to.
Its as if the X10 gets jealous of the camera alternative and shuts down the hardware altogether.

After upgrading 2.1 camera app doesn't work and the only way to close it force close or it says not available.
Any idea? Does anyone have the same problem?
No problems here, try a fix firmware with Sony Ericsson PC Companion.
If you not tried yet then try to re-flash your phone again.
I tried but the same...

Same here. Can't start Camera. It stays black for a while and then forces to
close.
No problems here on Rogers x10a firmware.
so what to do
Tried under Custom Rom 2.1 and now after downgrading to 1.6.
Now way. Cant get it work :S
Is it possible flashing caused a hardware problem with camera? (I think it's impossible) But why camera controller cannot work even after several reflash or software repair? Can somebody help with programmer background what to check? Or is it a serial fault (X10i)?
Anyone has problems with camera making some weird clicking noise after 2.1 upgrade? It happens while changing/opening options in the camera menu. seems like lens shifting or something, not very audible but was not there with 1.6

Yeah just the new auto focus... when your in the menu it doesn't have to keep focusing so disables that part resulting in a physical relaxation of the lense

Yes, like the guy above me said. It's just the new auto focus.
The new camera takes far better pictures, way faster as well. I haven't had any problems taking or saving HD video with a Class 2 microSD.
Oh, so you hear it on yours too ?
I though mine got broken or something I did not know there are physical elements in such a small camera that are able to literally shift and produce an audible noise! The strange thing tho is that the noise is produced while switching any options in the menu, like resolution, focus, picture mode etc, BUT the camera is active in background. Besides not all "clicks" are the same, the most loud one i get is when pressing the "picture wall" button in the lower right corner of the camera interface. Just wanna make sure it's like that on every devise

Yesterday i can still use my galerry and camera (lp7 stock apps). But today i can't. Whenever i start them, there's a "Not enough memory" notification shows up, i checked my storage status and it shows that i still have ~11.43gb available. Then i tried to delete some pics and my galerry works a gain, but my camera still not. I tried some other camera app but only cymera works, the others such as instagram, paper camera didn't work too.
Is there any one knows something aboit this problem?

Since I updated OTA to 2.3.6 build 4.5.141, I have been experiencing a problem with the camera as it shows a black screen (both still and video) and crashes after that.
I am willing to root the phone and install flash a ROM if that could be helpful. I tried a factory reset, SD format/unmount, battery pull, reboot, and everything possible with an unrooted device.
Warranty period is over so I can't ask for a replacement.
Any help is appreciated.
Camera
I had similar problems with upgrading to ICS Roms.
I fixed the problems with installation of Videocam Illusion and ProCapture or FastBurst Camera. I don't know if it is suitable for your Rom.
The only problem I see now with these apps is that I can't open, let say, ProCapture or FastBurst and after any camera or camcorder apps. The only to get these apps to work is to reboot.
Not working
Thanks for your feedback.
But I tried installing all those apps but they all give the same problem (black screen, which later freezes). I tried changing the resolution of the camera and then the camera app did not open at all saying: camera unable to initialize.
Occasionally, it shows a large camera icon in front of the screen and then it just closes down saying 'Activity Camera (in application Camera) not responding.
I do still think it is a software (not a hardware) problem because the phone has not been exposed to any physical damage whatsoever and everything else works smoothly on it.
I am already considering getting a replacement camera but thought I'd exhaust all other options before doing so as it does take a while to get a replacement. Luckily, it is under warranty.
Thanks again.
Id you're looking for a good stock based rom id try nottachrix. I've been on it roughly 2 months no issues

Hi folks,
I have a haipad i9300 mtk 6577 4 days ago the camera start to make trouble. Sometime just show black screen and after ask for a force close.
I tried to delete the old camera apk and installa brand new...I give to JB 4.2 camera a try to see if it works...nothing still the same. Black screen and after several touch ask for a force close. I guess is not an hardware problem because sometimes it works...what can I do?
I notice if I press several time and I force close then the camera app cannot connect to camera. This happen 4 or 5 times...then if I am very lucky the camera rebirth and start working again...It seems there is a kind of problem between the app camera and the camera hardware...because every camera app have the same issue, so maybe the problema is after...maybe some libs or something like that...any idea?
Odd update...I have a torchlight app with its widget. I notice the torchlight has the same issues of the camera. In fact it freezes and often I need to force close. The strange thing is if you turn on or turn off after few timers you can heard a kind of "click"...the same click you heard when you activate the camera...after that if you turn on the camera it is working. So I guess the torchlight and the camera are linked in some way. Of course I try to unistall the torchlight app...nothing the camera still not working.
Any ideas?
I'm not expect ,but
if something using start using camera (for example torch widget app) then other program cannot access to camera,so if program was not design for that case it will crash. (I know this as When I writing my app i spotted the same problem as You. ).
So i guess something using camera and that cause your problems.Try to find how many programs/services use camera and close all of them and then check/
That's my thought...in fact I'm pretty sure something is bothering the camera app...but...I did an hard reset, so a clean system, but the camera still freeze so I assume is not an application I installed. How can I check which application is accessing the camera?

Hey all,
For some time now, my camera has not been working...kinda. If I use the regular app or any third party camera app, it comes up as a black screen, freezes, and closes down. But then something weird happened.
I started playing Pokemon GO. On the bits where the camera is enabled (to throw Pokeballs), the camera works! Even more bizarre, if I open the camera app while Pokemon GO is running, it will work just fine! This applies to both the front and back camera, both of which had the issue I mentioned.
Only when the app is open though. When I close it and try to go back to the camera then no-go. I have done a reset on the phone, I have tried all kinds of third party apps, I have tried booting in safe mode. Nothing works except what I just mentioned.
Can anyone shed some light on what might be going on? I'd like to use the camera without opening Pokemon GO but I am OK with it for now since I can use my camera again, albeit in a convoluted way.
I was thinking about trying a custom kernel (insomuch as I can with a locked phone). Worth a shot?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
