Hello
I've been using my Neo for a while now and tonight I went out with a friend who has an Arc and I tried to show him how the front facing camera worked and what do you know but the switch icon to change from back camera to front camera was not there.
I've tried re-installing the camera app from a previous backup and I've also tried installing my friends app from his Neo that is working fine and still no menu option on the camera to select front facing camera.
Any ideas?
More info stock rom tweaked Rom cm miui arc stock on neo neo v ?

The only answer I can give you here is rooted Neo.
I will attach a screen shot.
For others info, James phone is running stock 42 firmware, stock kernel, only rooted (that's how we were able to replace his camera app with the one off my neo) still no go.. Seems the option to access front camera has vanished and even flashing 42 firmware with flashtool (keeping user data) hasn't restored the camera.. Might have to do a full crash and burn.. What a pain.. Anyone else seen this happen on stock camera?

Ok - so I've re-flashed stock 42 firmware and then gone into the service menu and clicked on secondary camera and it said something like this service is not available on your device.
So now I'm repairing the phone with SEUS...........
Sent phone back to shop - they've replaced the mother board.
try to flash rom again
Thanks for the reply but the new motherboard has fixed the problem.

Hello guys, I recently bought a xperia x10 off my friend. It was running on 1.6 Donut. When I bought the phone the camera was ok (I didn't took any picture but I could go through settings and stuff). I've updated my phone to 2.3.3 today and now whenever I start the camera and start to go through settings or try to take picture it says: "Sorry! Activity Camera (in application Camera) is not responding"
The only options are Force Close and Wait. I've also used "Camera 360" it worked for a while, took a couple of picture and then the same thing happend to that too.
Could it be a hardware issue? cuz I can't return the phone now
Any idea
more info needed. how did you upgrade?

Using SEUS....its offical 2.3.3
hmmm... what happens if you select wait?
if issues continue i would re-install the update...
wish i could be more help...
well, sometimes it becomes normal and sometimes it hangs...and I've re-installed the update like hundreds of times but no luck in that. Anyway i've just rooted my phone and installed xrecovery and i don't know how but the bugs seems to have fixed by that???
I have the same problem, did everything as you said, so now when you did all that camera works fine?
having the same problem...any solution??
Never have this problem with the ROMs developed from Erick, WB, TH or Blue Sparks.
If you have rooted your phone, you could try one of these ROMs.
the problem appear on stock 2.3.3.. no root.. all stock... clean memory card...
the camera only snap picture when i restart the phone, then after 1 or 2 picture taken the 3rd photo canot snap already. it cant focus and hang. ask me to fc or wait....
I have the same problema, with the stock rom. Im going to try with Wolf's rom, lets se how it goes.
I get the error with camera360 ultimate 2.4.1 and vignette.
any solution??? still having this problem...
nah its fixed now...for the first time rooting fixed that and now everytime i give it a uk update its completely fine from the start
Hi
Can anyone else run the stock Camera app after the Jellybean update?
There's a yellow box around the shutter and when I go to take a photo the application crashes.
Other camera apps work fine!

I've been using it, and it works fine with me. Do you have any apps that may affect the camera? And was it working fine with ICS?
No extra apps, yes it did work in ICS.
I'm hoping someone with a working camera in JB can dump the firmware for me

I updated Insert Coin Rom to 3.0 and my camera hasnt worked since. updated tuesday, and only went to use my camera yesterday and discovered it freezes on opening. flashlight toggle in my notifications bar also causes system UI to crash.
switched to Anonorom this morning, factory reset, restored apps + data from Titanium Pro, same thing. camera and flashlight both crash my system UI.
which sucks cause previous IC rom was great.
any help would be awesome. otherwise i guess i'm either flashing rom's or doing a full factory reset and restoring manually i guess..

First step is always factory reset .
Followed by flash stock firmware .

Also started having this issue last week, more than a month since I got my 4.1.2 OTA from T-mobile.
From what I experienced, both incidents when I was out, were in low light, and after I enabled low light mode within the camera controls.
There would be a freeze, then app crash returning to the homescreen.
There doesn't seem to be a lot of info on this, and I'd really like to know what is causing it.
I have a feeling it is a setting in the touchwiz camera... because other camera apps (vignette, eyeem) launch the camera fine and without issue.

I started getting the freeze issue a few weeks back. I removed the SD card and tried the phone without it and it was fine again. Wiped the SD card and put it back in and all is working again. Hope this helps some of you.
Camera phones Xperia Mini ST15i when opening the screen is black and does not work as I capture the screen image below, to get it to hit home, I've come not know why is it so, the you help me to overcome. thank
On which rom are you? Have you tried wiping the data of the camera or have you tried another camera app from playstore to check if it's a problem of the camera itself, a software problem with the system or a hardware problem?

It seems that i /m facing the same problem here. I'm running the AEROM v5 and out of the sudden the camera stopped working, the flash as well. Every camera app that i used only opens the front camera and i cant even use the LED light as a torch. I contacted the seller and suggested a factory reset , i did it with no success. i think that it might be a "missing driver". I do not know a lot apart from flashing roms, recovery etc. Trying to work it through.
Did you try to open the cover and check if the camera is connected properly at the board?
Sounds like hardware.. Any other experiencing this?

It is a hardware matter , at least for me
When I open the camera on my phone, it works fine. The front camera is fine, the back camera is fine.
However when using Messenger, Whatsapp, or any other camera application, there are green lines accross the screen and it is very slow and sluggish?
Tried using Xperia Companion to repair software, still the same.
Tried using Lollipop, still the same.
Running stock rom, currently on 6.0.1 MM. If anyone has got any ideas, could they please help me out. Thanks
