Hi, yesterday I had a same issue but a reverse version: in video mode my camera stops responding and freeze, it was fine in photo mode.
For me, I think it was a camera firmware problem: I had camera firmware version ONEF01 and phone firmware version TBEC28 (you can know firmware version digiting *#34971539# - attention in this menu).
I downgraded camera firmware version to TBEC28 and it works now either in photo and video mode, but I've focus issue now. DAMN!
I hope this experience can help you.
Bye bye.
You have to mention which from you are on to get some solution. Try clearing the cache and data of your camera app from task manager . Also do try some third party app

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
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 viewers, i recently got myself the C5 ULTRA E5553 and i'm loving this device especially of course the camera.
The stock camera works fine but once i install SNAPCHAT and start recording a video, the whole snapchat recording hangs and the screen turns black and gets stuck. Once i exit through the home button and clear the app, i open the stock camera app and it shows me "error, camera not available'. and then stock camera app and snapchat camera will not allow me to access the camera as seen on the images attached. Even diagnostics can't access the camera.
I have tried clearing data and force stop on the stock camera app but to no avail. I can only REBOOT the phone and both cameras will work again until i start recording front/back camera on snapchat and everything repeats.
I EVEN TRIED factory reset and i immediately installed snapchat as the first app.... as long as i try to record on snapchat, the camera will just freeze and crash.
I am from Singapore with the 5.0 lollipop. PLS HELP ME i want to be able to use snapchat on this phone

Thanks for the reply guys!!! I tried the link but like i said... i even start with a newly reset phone and install snapchat first... still having problems when recording
Have you tried updating to Lollipop 5.1? I've only recently started Snapchatting, but I have no issues, and I'm running Lollipop 5.1
If you don't receive OTA update notification then try to update through PC Companion or Sony Bridge for Mac

Easy solution
Had the same problem, got really frustrated as I tried every possible solution I know of with no avail what so ever.
Seems like a software problem with Snapchat explicitly, since camera app works just fine away from it. All you got to do is update to the latest version, which is 5.1.
Update might be a little bit big but its totally worth it as you can actually feel the better performance and battery life, and ofcourse fixing your Snapchat problem.
Hi, I encountered this after upgrading to 6.0. Service center replaced the camera but no luck, so they replaced the mainboard. Luckily, it was still under warranty.
Hi
I'm not able to use the primary camera... Just the front one show in every camera app
I did an hard reset with wipe and everything has been OK for a day.... This morning again the same issue and I didn't install any other camera app
Any idea?

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?
