[Q] strange camera problems got me stumped - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

when I got this phone xperia x10a my camera work fine on donut. then I flashed it up to a no brand generic gingerbread, then it worked but then I noticed after flashing it to another rom it only took one pic then didnt work, Id re flash same thing one pic then stop working. now it didn't work at all. ten when I got a chance to look into it tried downgrading to 2.1 did a script flash, nothing gave up, forgot it didnt work did a screenshot didn't work. then I flashed to feraLab ICS then found these zips for camera fix for ICS flash them both trying camera no luck, but then did a screen shot that worked. so now its like the camera works but don't work as because the main camera still doesn't work.
soooooo, does anyone have any ideas on this matter? tried a couple of other camera apps no luck so far.
thanks

It seems hardware failure, by the way, have you try SEUS to refert to official rom?, it might help.

fine and dandy?

SEUS huh? well that's all fine and dandy as I looked it up and read a bit on it. as always it needs FW software that is hard to find as FBI and shut down the server lalala then it goes into I thought this was open source software so why is they all getting shut down, and it is hare to find. and why I got a go back to stock whatever if it is hardware which dont make since if it was hardware it would not work at all as it is screen shoots needs a camera hardware to work logic tells me ... as one can have a different key but the engine still has to work ya know . you answer wasn't very well thought out BTW

Well, you better try to refert to official rom (by SEUS) , just to confirm about your camera hardware . If it OK, then continue for your custom rom, some patch was provided for ICS.
Sofar ICS and JB still on Beta testing, its still on going finalize by dev.
And... screenshoot function and camera are using different way to work (gpu and camera).

[Q] Camera wont work after 2.2 update !!

Sooo basically, i dont know if this just happened to me or everyone else, but has anyone else's camera all of a sudden stopped working or just gets the "Please wait" pop up when you start the camera like myself ? I read about if you do a factory reset (which i absolutely will not do) gets it working again, or getting a new camera app works. But is there any other option out there im missing.

If you are running a rom, you can try flashing it again without a factory reset.
no im not rommed up .. all stock
so i really dunno wut to do
From another forum, seems a hard reset brings it back. Something to do with not updating the camera firmware when asked.
woudl u happen to know how to roll back to 2.1 so i can re-update again to make sure i check for the camera update i somehow missed ?! lol
Try this before rolling back.

yeah, this exact thing happened to a lady friend of mine a short while back. Verizon's solution is to give her a previously sold but "new" phone with working camera but not upgradable. She'll have a camera but will lose all her software. That which she had pre-2.2 she tells me is mostly unavailable now, and the 2.2 software won't install on 2.0 or 2.1 OS. Verizon also told her that she couldn't flash back to factory (2.0 or 2.1) because it was no longer on her phone as it was replaced with 2.2 rom. When she did try to flash the 2.2 again, it wouldn't do it saying she already had it on her phone. Being an update/upgrade it appears it looks for an earlier version. I don't know. I'm totally ignorant on all things Android. I'm just trying to help her out in hopes there is a working solution that Verizon or Samsung don't want people to know about, for whatever reason. Let me know if you found it.
For anyone searching this problem, the easiest solution (all thanks to Fallen4u) is to purchase ($4), download, and install Camera 360 Ultimate (Pro version no longer available on Market, afaik). This will basically replace your broken camera software (where it just sits on "please wait" - until the cows come home after jumping over the moon) with working software that brings camera back to life. It also gives you many more fun possibilities from what my lady friend showed me this evening.

[Q] Radio Data connection causing Reboot

Hey guys, I've been having issues with my X10a's data connection. Tried the latest Wolf's gingerbread, and of course flashing down to a generic 2.1 which does seem a bit more stable on the connection but I'm hoping I can figure out the issue completely.
Basically, when the radio initiates a data connection the handset has a good chance of freezing up and plopping itself into a nasty little reboot. Now I've tried up and down flashes like I said, tried a new battery, SD cards and I'll probably resort to buying a new sim to test with to rule that last bit out too. Any help would really be appreciated. Here's some current info.
*Wireless seems to work just fine
*can make calls send texts
Carrier AT&T
Android Ver. 2.3.3
Baseband Ver. 2.1.71
Kernel: 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537
Thanks in advance for any help guys.
Maybe this can help:
Via recovery:
Wipe dalvik cache
advanced options-fix permissions.
greets
Tried it a couple times but it Didn't seem to help any unfortunately, thanks anyway.
Edit: I've set my phone to not use Data on the phone radio for the time being so I can still at least use wifi which seems to be doing just fine Calls work and text messaging works just fine too bizarrely enough. Another thing I'd like to note is that One dump log (that I unfortunately lost) from when I was testing to make sure it wasn't a heat issue both times seemed to point to some possible networking related aspect, NPARTS? or the like with some other stuff.

cuz im not the expert @@
im afraid of making mistake as well?
so yeah, better in conversation but i got my phone work after 2 days of flashing back and forth @@
but anyway... will see how it go with the person i just helped, if it goes well then i ll start, if not then idk... will figure something out
Well, no luck with any 2.3.3 based android unfortunately so I down flashed to a 10a 2.1 build and that seems to run just fine as far as the radio is concerned, in the end I think there's just so many factors to muddle through hardware wise cables, sims, batteries yada-yada that i'll take this turn of fortune and wait to see if SE ever releases anything 10a specific on the assumption there may be an off chance it addresses some rare little quirk a few others and myself seem to have.
Sounds similar to my problem, maybe same solution... Every time phone is on charger and network is used, phone automatically rebooted after a little while. For me, this was same on all WB GB roms until now. But now, I am typing this and browsing XDA while charging and its not rebooting. I cant give you a guarantee but maybe phone just needs time to settle? Its been preyty good to me for a while now.
flash the phone in the weekend and leave it alone for like half a day or something^^
i leave it overnight and surprisingly wake up and see the phone is on without any lose of battery ( well, 1or 2% ) ^^!
Just an update on my progress. I was playing around with the phone last night, and had managed to get it to the stage of having the 2.3 update but without a sim. I charged it to 100% and then attempted to put in the sim card. It didn't like that very much and instead of going through the restart loop, it just would not turn on.
I flashed it back to 2.1 and i it worked again. Then i flashed it to 2.3 and it wouldn't turn on again. Flashed it back to 2.1 and gave up for the night.
This morning, i tried to put in the sim card in 2.1 and it worked!
I think on my next days off, (in 2 days) i will try and flash it to 2.3 and see what happens.
In reference to the posibility of a hardware issue, i did not smell any burning The phone has been running all night and the battery is not hot at all. In fact it is cold. It could still be a hardware issue, but I'm not getting any of the issues described in that thread mentioned execpt the restarting.
Yeah, it's seeming like our phones are in a little "Does not like 2.3" minority If I could decipher the hardware version stuff under the battery maybe that would offer some more clues up.

Yeah, i'll take a picture of the the specs and post it up here in the next few days.
srsly guys... u need more than a day to flashing around to get it working.. especially the BB + kernel... as far as i can remember... because mine is x10a... i flashed the 2.1 generic FW and i have BB54... then i root + install xrecovery...
then i flash the 2.3 ftf via flashtool using the flashtool mentioned in Doomlord rooting method section ( because the xrecovery only working if u install through that version)
after flash, i leave it all night ( well because i felt to sleep while the phone still booting) in the morning i wake up and there it is... battery is nearly as full and phone running great with signal
then i root the phone via doomlord method + install xrecovery... then leave the phone for a while see if any reboot--- but none
so i start flash via xrecovery wolf's version... firstly on 3.5.... nothign else and leave it for half a day....
Yeah, that's what i plan on trying. The method of leaving it for a while after you have done something worked for my sim card issue.
do it on weekend yeah? or else u gonna get bored because otw to work the x10 keep rebooting =))
I use xperia x10a japanese docomo base. And i have the same problem
Any gingerbread rom get into boot loop once i insert my sim card. Without sim, it just works fine. What might be the problem, and how to fix it?
So far so good
I can confirm a very slow and steady pace works the best, Running Wolf's now and it seems stable so far, I'll keep an eye on it and give you guys an update in a while.
it will be fine.. just let it run without flashing anything ^^!
for a while

[Q] Touchscreen Problem

I have a problem with a touchscreen. This can be seen that in the lower left corner of the screen, the phone detects a second touch. I put a screen shot of the presentation of how it looks in the test. This occurs on every rom 2.3 +, excluding Glsmt 2.1. When I plug the charger problem disappears. Whoever knows how to fix it?

Hi
someone fix this bug?
My motorola atrix is a problem with the touch after I managed to release "root", you have to play lower down the keys to be hit from above, in addition to the menu buttons do not work, but half of it straight up works best, does anyone have any solution?
Perhaps a better bios reset, or a full format! hardware will be? or software?
Somebody help!

This problem is fixed in KPY, i have this one "GT-S5830_XEU_S5830XWKPY-S5830XEUKP1-S5830XWKPA-S5830XWKPY4" and problem is gone.
I have the same problem..
My phone registers random touches in the lower right area, approximately above the middle of the home and back button. I have Indian firmware S5830DDKQ5, and the problem started just after I upgraded to it by official Kies update. Before this, in Froyo, this never happened. I thought maybe it was a hardware problem in my phone or the screen protector was causing it, or maybe something broke due to some fall to the ground, but you have the same problem, originating from 2.3+ roms, so perhaps not. I have not tried any rom except the stock one.
icemanhi, you say it is fixed in XE/XW KPY but KPY would come before KQ5, wouldn't it? I'd like to not go to an older firmware, because we don't know what the changes between them are.

take your phone to samsung service center and tell them about this problem
But...
I can't make the problem show up on demand.. the people at the service center will say, show me what happens, but it's random, so I can't show it to them. Then they'll say, "the problem is not happening in front of us, so we can't do anything." Still, I'll ask, but would prefer a different solution. Thanks.

Reflashing camera

Hello I was updating my x10 and it fell down from the table while flashing the camera rom, battery went out and now camera is not working. Is there a chance that can be reflashed fixed somehow?
Tried searching the forum for an answer but it looks like there are some problems with some of the threads.
Thanks!

it maybe a software problem but try flashing the stock rom again and hook up your phone to your computer and do a defrag and I may work.
Umm if it fell off you might have broken it?????
Sent from my Xperia X10 using xda premium
New camera firmware was introduced in 2.1 so you can reflash it..if it doesn't work its hardware problem
Sent from my X10i
Thanks to all of you for the replies.
The phone fell from the table but not to the floor, I caught it with my hand... the problem was that it lost the battery as the back cover was off, there was no hit to the device at all so that shouldn't break the hardware.
I am pretty sure it is just a matter of finding a way of reflashing the camera as that is what it was doing when the battery came out, after that I tried reflashing it again with Sony Ericsson utility but it says it is up to date, even after installing 1.6 with the flashtool when the update gets installed it goes all the way without reflashing the camera so that means that the camera started the flash and it probably got the information in place that identifies it as being up to date, however it doesnt work.
Again, I know the hardware is fine because there was no hit to the device and the phone is brand new, the camera was working fine when I took it out of the box to test it so it is pretty impossible that the camera broke down at that time. I have multiple X10's and they handle hits pretty good IMO...
Anyway i will try the defrag thing as that is the only thing I didn't do.
If anyone has more ideas or knows a method of reflashing the camera only please let me know.
Thanks!

Some custom kernels have a problem with the highest resolution for the front camera due to memory allocation. Go to settings / applications / all and clear data for camera.
Load up the camera switch to the front one and check its working.
If it is don't select the highest resolution for the front camera use the middle one.
If that doesn't work maybe another problem.
Please state what rom and kernel versions you are running, more info the better.

Appears to be a S3 problem specificically, camera failure problems. Google ' galaxy s3 camera failed ' and there are numerous reports ranging.
from only a day old out of the box to a couple of weeks. Some reports of total failure, some hardware restart temporarily fixed, some app sharing hardware such as skype hogging the camera.
I think Verizon in the US are saying return for replacement..
Hope this helps.
Having the same problem. I thought it might have been an app I installed - I uninstalled all apps that used the camera. Still no dice. Did a factory reset. Still no dice.
Called Verizon and explained that I'd already tried a factory reset to no avail. The service rep didn't ask me to do anything else. Because I've full device insurance coverage I'm getting a new phone overnighted and should have it no later than 3pm tomorrow.

I had the same issue and tried factory reset, 3rd party camera apps. nothing worked even updated camera firmware and phone firmware still black screen with camera fail. I took off the battery cover, removed the battery, removed the phillips screws in back. carefully popped off back housing and the camera flex cable is right there. i simply unclipped and reconnected it and made sure the camera was seated tight by pushing on it.(carefully as not to damage lcd). I will say i have no warranty because i bought second hand but the are no void stickers over screws so no way to tell its been opened. camera works perfect now. I repair phones as a hobby and remebered the galaxy one having a speaker issue just like it. anyway worth a shot or if you have a warranty just get a replacement but it took me about 3 minutes,
Camera fail
I would like to update the post with my findings:
Since my last post, I did a warranty exchange on the phone. Upon receiving the new one, I reverted the broken one back to stock through the tutorial on XDA (using a prev leak bootchain, ODIN flash, etc).
All went flawlessly, and after reverted to pure stock, the camera worked again. I re-rooted and re-flashed a variety of ROMs (ASOP & TW). camera worked fine through all of it. It wasn't until I did play store updates that things went bad. After the updates the camera stopped working again. So Once again I flashed back to stock. Camera worked again. I felt comfortable doing this as I could re-produce the problem and solution.
After fooling with app updates etc I determined that the Google Talk / Goog Hangouts update was the culprit. Once that was installled the camera was inaccessible. I have since not taken that update (been a few weeks now) and all is still fine.
moral of the story to folks out there, watch out for the Hangouts update. I dont have any more info than that. Just wanted to share.

I would just like to share my experience, it may help someone... I also had this problem and fixed similar to desc. above... I had taken apart phone and cleaned out mostly all of my connectors because of water damage/corrosion issues.. I suppose I had bent the cam ribbons slightly out of place... this in turn, for some reason maybe somebody with more knowledge can answer, caused the phone to no longer power up or show any sign of life... I could not figure out and ended up paying my deductable for new phone... I knew it was specifically related to me removing the cam because I had already cleaned and got phone to a working state, but the cam didnt work so I took apart again cleaned cam port and voilà my phone stopped powering up completely... wtf! sooooo I just recently went back after reading above, and dramatically bent the cam ribbons to make sure contact was good... now everything works.. ya live and learn

No no I sent the refurb one back to vzw. Had a lot of bad luck with factory refurbs.
i know this may be a necro thread, but I just had the same issue and I solved it by replacing the front facing camera/prox sensor assembly. tried new main cameras first but when those didn't fix it I replaced the front facing and everything worked fine.

Use the Touchwiz JELLYBEAN 4.1.2 VERSION
I'm brand new to this forum, but my uncle has been a member since 2008 and says you guys are the best when it comes to helping with problems for Android.
I'm having the camera issue, as well, and it spans across all camera apps, snapchat, Skype, etc. I just now discovered the front facing camera works when before it wouldn't even let me switch to it, making me think both cameras were dead. I've tried a different ROM, kernel, battery pulls, rebooting, everything in the list. I even dismantled my phone and pressed the connection in a bit, and still no luck. (Thankfully I didn't completely wreck my phone, though.) I'm trying switching from a different developer now, since I was using the only two TouchWiz ROMs I could find for my Cricket d2cri, both by the same guy. I'm hoping against hope it's an issue with the guy's programming and that it's not a sudden hardware failure after nearly a year of having the phone.
If anyone happens across this thread and has any ideas that haven't been said as to what I can do, please, throw me a message or respond to the thread. What good is a phone without a camera these days?

I'm having the camera issue, as well, and it spans across all camera apps, snapchat, Skype, etc. I just now discovered the front facing camera works when before it wouldn't even let me switch to it, making me think both cameras were dead. I've tried a different ROM, kernel, battery pulls, rebooting, everything in the list. I even dismantled my phone and pressed the connection in a bit, and still no luck. (Thankfully I didn't completely wreck my phone, though.) I'm trying switching from a different developer now, since I was using the only two TouchWiz ROMs I could find for my Cricket d2cri, both by the same guy. I'm hoping against hope it's an issue with the guy's programming and that it's not a sudden hardware failure after nearly a year of having the phone.
If anyone happens across this thread and has any ideas that haven't been said as to what I can do, please, throw me a message or respond to the thread. What good is a phone without a camera these days?

I am having the same issue, and I did try many things: revert to stock, changing kernel, try other camera apps, wiping camera app datas, Still nothing, if someone can help with other method please.
I got "camera fail" after i flashed ArchiDroid 1.7.2 coming from PAC nightly. Then flashed ArchiDroid 2.2.4 and camera got fixed. All flashes where clean
In my experience, custom ROMs and kernels can also cause this issue. I flashed a different custom ROM and voila, my camera was working again
s 3 camera failed

hi I was having the same problem with my camera and I installed 3rd party camera software and the camera seem to work using this. I used camera mx
Camera faillled warning
I HAVE THE PROBLEM OF CAMERA FAIL WARNING IN S5 SENSATION ROM
I AM USING S3 Gt i9300 IS THERE ANY SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM
THE CAMERA DOESNT WORK ONLY IN S5 SENSATION ROM
That is usually caused after flashing a custom kernel without having opened the camera app at least once with the stock kernel.
Go back to stock kernel, open the camera and it should work. Now flash the custom kernel and don't do a factory reset or you'll be in the same again
Which kernel you using? If you on 4.4.2 i recommended Archi Kernel.
