It's a connector problem , to fix just press firmly to back of phone in the middle.

Now I try to explain ,
remove battery then simultaneously press on the back camera and near battery contact .Try it this is definitely the solution I have repaired 2 phones without opening them. It is not a problem of kernel version.

hello Emax,
i swithed off the phone then removed the battery. pressed the metallic part. then i pressed the area around the camera unit on the back. then switched it on again. Am I doing it right??
Regards,
Shikhar
PS: I have even dissassembled the phone once and then reassembled it. nothing seems to fix it.

Thanks emax2000 , your solution worked perfectly... It was indeed connector problem. Pressing the Camera and metal plate beneath the battery near the battery connector resolve the issue..
I had upgraded the OS initially to resolve it but that didn't helped.
Thanks a Lot emax2000

[Q] Camera problem after upgrade 2.1

Hi,
so after I had installed the new Eclair onto my device, everything worked fine, but camera app started to say not available (you can choose wait or force close). What happened? How can I solve this problem?
If anybody has a good idea or something, please share! (my phone is not more than a week old...)
thanks
I am facing the same issue. I am just trying to reflash using SEUS to see if it sorts it out. I used the same image to flash a couple of other peoples X10s, and they haven't had any problems so might just be the luck in the draw...
Update:-
I have flashed using SEUS and when starting the camera from either holding the shutter button or choosing camera from the apps menu I get the same error message:-
"Sorry! Activity Camera (in application Camera) is not responding"
After killing the Camera app, it will start up but will display
"Camera not available"
After reflashing with the generic global firmware again and checking the camera before changing any other settings, it still fails.
The error message is now
"Sorry! Application Camera (in process com.sonyericsson.android.camera) is not responding"
The only options are Force Close and Wait.
Has anybody got any ideas on how to get around this issue?
I tried to rewrite camera app at system, but it was not succesful. Device is not rooted (yet). Maybe it solves?
I suffer the same problem. After a few study I doubt if the SEMC_IMX046_Camera driver is missed / corrupted on the phone which led to this 'Camera not available' symptom. Anyone able to help us out?
is it sure? if this causes the problem, all that we need to change/recover it with the original one. PLEASE HELP US!
same problem here. caused by an error while flashing the cam to hd. now
always forces to close. :/

I just bought a x10 and tried to use the camera using the camera application and turn black and after a while it says "Sorry! Application Camera (in process com.sonyericsson.android.camera) is not responding. any idea?
Hey
I will not create similar topic cause I have same problem, so I'll write there.
As I wrote my problem is same as speakers previously. It's really annoying. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I use stock 2.1 firmware. The most funny is that my xperia was bought just on the 1st of april so it's like a new one, whats wrong with it?

If it would help, could some1 send me working SemcCameraApp.apk and write me in which one directory in my rooted phone can I find it?
Regards,
Adam
@edit: I forgoten to write that yesterday I reinstalled system via SEUS on my X10. Problem still exists.
I saw that there was a camera fix zip file posted a couple of days ago. It seems that there are people whose upgrade to 2.1 was incomplete.
I went and searched and found it archived, it was March not recently. It will try to reflash your camera firmware for HD which may be the problem if you stopped the flash progress when the 'flashing camera' icon was on the display. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991442
HOWEVER I THINK IT NEEDS A ANDROID SDK ON YOUR PC TO RUN
Another thing is that if the permissions for the camera app are incorrect it gives similar messages.
The permissions should be if you look in the /system/app directory for the SemcCameraApplication.apk rw-r--r-- if you have Root Explorer you can mod them with the checkboxes. Read for Owner, Group, Others and Write for Owner only.

2.3.3 update Camera not work

As stated in the title. After I flashed the 2.3.3 official rom, the camera doesn't work...all I get is a 'unknown error' and ''Camera not available' error.
Any suggestions will be nice...
PS...I've restarted and re flashed many times to solve, no success.
I tried the EWJet Gingerbread Rom and I have a black screen whenever I switch on the Camera. I dont know what the problem might be !
i had the same problem with you yesterday, tried to restarts the phone but it doesn't help. but the the problem gone after a few times i restart the camera app, after phone complete making cache files - i think.
My only problem now is, how to get auto focus in HD video recording, i did'nt find any menu to enable this feature. I saw at a review topic that this feature is realy enabled

Exact same problem!
I think EW should update his modded ROM, because not only camera not working...
Lockscreen not working, home button not working and extreeeeeeeeeme lag!
He shouldn't just upload an incomplete ROM with lots of issues and ditch us poor users here fending for ourselves.

I think it is SD card related as if you un-mount your SD card it works. Weird that its only affected some of us.
Formatting the SD card worked.
Thanks for the help guys.

It's related with 2.1 software, but who knows, maybe it helps you.

thanks for the link, but its for 2.1 so I don't think it will work on 2.3 The problem is fixed anyway.
thanks though
Weirdly the problem has come back to haunt me again :/
I've found out that other camera apps work perfectly for example 'vignette' It just seems to be SE camera app that's the problem...
camera

i have that problem too, im on wb 4.0.4 and the cam dont work. when open say "error unknow"

Hello,
Did you try to upgrade the camera firmware of your phone ?
Simply launch "Samsung Apps" and search for "Camera Firmware Update", install it and follow the instruction.
I expect this will solve your problem.

Hello Aimixess~
Thanks for your prompt reply~
Unfortunately, the "Camera Firmware update" is not available in our region... >.<
do you still got another idea to solve it?
Cheers,
Monica
Is the problem exist with another camera app and/or in video mode ?
Did you simply try to reset the app parameters in the option (little cogwheel in the upper left corner, last option) ?

It is no problem with another camera (like Camera360)~
And i tried to reset the parameteres, but no change >.<
I have done a hard reset today, everything is fine, then i flash to KG6, the problem exist again...
Aimixess, are you using KG6 too? you've got no problem with it?!
Hello Monica,
I'm using KG6 Too.
In case of your Camera.apk is corrupted, you can try to flash (In CW recovery) the camera.zip linked bellow (this is the KG6 Camera.apk and Camera.odex).
I expect this will solve you problem.

Try a Full Wipe by Deleting Everything on /sdcard.
The Option is on the Mounting Option in CWM 6 . ( Format /sdcard) .
Then just install the ROM again and it must work because it ever worked on my Phone.
Good Luck.

If its software related, a clean install should fix it (wipes+reflash firmware).
Otherwise its a hardware malfunction, so yeah, service center. (When it happened to me it was faulty camera hardware).
maybe u can search "restart camera.apk" and install like normal apk.
click the app restart camera, and open your camera phone
hope it'll working!
and if thats not solve your problem, try with another camera. focal, etc
