Error. Camera not available. - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

Hi!
Last November i bought my E2363 on Amazon.
Now when i open my camera app i get the error message:
"Error. Camera not available." :crying:
I checked on google and they say clear cache of the camera app, try other camera app.
I tried it all but the problem persists.
What do you recommend?

I have that on my Xperia L and it's hardware not software problem You can't resolve it by reinstalling system but TRY IT. If you have phone warranty you need to use it.

Thanks for reply. I was already afraid it was hardware. Somewhere i read that Amazon is not official Sony seller, so that would mean i'm screwed.

Thanks!

I contacted Sony support.
They sent me a list of things i should try, including clearing cache, restarting the phone and that kind of stuff, after which they would help me further.
I did the things, and contacted them again, to which they drily replied i should contact the seller.
I then contacted Amazon and i cite: "However, in appreciation to your valuable business with Amazon.com, I've made a one-time exception in our standard policies and suggest you to please return your defective item to us to receive a refund."
Thank you Amazon.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 10.1 I/O Limited Edition update to 3.1

Does anyone have news on when we are getting this update?
Now that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is going on sale officially in NYC on June 8 WITH 3.1, I hope it is soon!
I just emailed the Samsung dev email from the Google I/O Device page. Hopefully I receive a meaningful response.

10.1 I/o Edition
Guys ...I cant install adobe flash on my tablet and some of the apps from market are not visible and or wont install.. any ideas ?
I guess nobody got any luck in response. I say all that receive there Limited Edition 10.1 email Samsung until they put a press release or reply to someone. This is so unprofessional on there behalf.
I did and will everyday til i get something,,,,logic would dictate there is not going ot be an update for 3.1 since all the tabs coming out have it so hopefully they do something or it will be avail to load once the tabs come out

Not compatible with tablets.
I have the galaxy tab 10.1V and had no issue with my flash installation, so not sure why you say it isnt compatible with tablets
I got an e-mail from Samsung stating they have no idea when will the google IO limited edition tab will get an OTA update. Will post the e-mail here shortyl.

I think happilyaccosted was more referring to why some apps don't show up in the market on a tablet when he said "not compatible with tablets" and not that Flash wasn't compatible.

If there is no OTA on Wednesday when the retail model is released, I assume it won't be long before someone who got one in NYC posts a system dump.

Which I agree.. Just don't understand as to why these where handed out to developers when its design to be tested for 3.1.... Especially when there is no option for United States OTA.

I think part of the reason it was handed out (besides publicity for Samsung) was to get some developers a real 3.X device to do any development on, and write some app, any app. Google needs Honeycomb apps up on the market, bad. At that point not having 3.1 yet isn't that big a deal. The Honeycomb emulator is a pile of suck and Google admitted as much at the conference, so this is a way to get people making stuff.
And if they can't directly OTA these things up to 3.1 from the gimped version of 3.0 that's on them right now, that doesn't seem like that big a deal. Google/Samsung can always email people instructions to go flash a zip; if you got on a plane to SF to go to an Android developer conference then an "adb push" and reboot should be a piece of cake for you

For the people who didn't received the SmartTag in the package

I've wrote many times to different supports, but the one who gave me the right address was on facebook.... Well they did a web page where you have to compile a form including your imei, and they will send at home for free the two smart tags.
This is the site for italy:

Maybe you can find the right one for your state.

Hopefully Sony won't look too hard in to what network the phone is assigned to as it's an o2 offer and i'm on Orange.
Worth a try though I guess.

Got the cable with mine, and I got2 smarttags with mine. Not particularly useful at the moment, but i'll keep them as the need for them may arise in the future.
Sent from my Xperia S via transwarp beacon.
Got my simfree, i assumed from seeing unboxing videos before the official release that we would get at least 2 in the box... Fair enough but why dont sony release the accessories at the same time as the phones?
Bought mine in Malaysia and got bundled Livesound headphones, sony branded car charger, HDMI cable & 2 NFC tags.

fix for Google Play Edition

I just heard from my specialists and they said that in a few days there will be an update that will fix the issues you have encountered.
I hope we get a bump up to 4.4.2 along with it, but if not, then a fix for the current problems is amazing.

Bootloader Unlock code?

Now that Honor has stopped providing the unlock codes for the bootloader, how to get it?
Or from now is impossible to install a custom recovery or root the phone?
You have to use DC-Unlocker to read the bootloader code.

have you actually tried? because not officially supporting and not working are two different things, people with different not supported models were successful when just using auto detection
also try different countries support email, in my home i was not successful, in Germany they gave it to me (though i asked prior deadline but received it two days after deadline)

So probably i sould waste at least 4€ to trying to get a code? All this because Honor has taken this stupid decision.
Btw somewhere i've read that Huawei has patched all backdoor used to get bootloader codes with these alternative ways.
Yes i've tried. I'm italian and first i've asked on Italian network, after on German network and they still wont give it to me.
1. i answered you how to get it
2. there was 2 months period before deadline everyone knew they will stop providing codes, so you either had plenty of time to get a code or not buy phone without this option if it's such issue for you

And in my country in general, when they hear that I have a Chinese version of Honor 10 SALT-AL10, they do not want to talk to me !!! Thereby, I infringe upon my rights, since I bought a smartphone, I paid the money, but I cannot fully use it. This is similar to the fact that I bought meat, but I can not eat the whole piece, because the manufacturer has caught it, and said to eat half.
