I also don't have that problem and never heard of it... So I can't help you.. Maybe because of an app you installed?

Or you have deleted something from system apps?

hmm in my arc on low light photos (almost dark or fully dark) i see some green points.. on the visor.. and it moves when i move the phone..

Yes, I have had this happen a few times as well. It seems to happen if I am trying to snap pictures too quickly...hard to recreate tho. Im on generic o2 rom 2.3.3 btw.

Never in my case - so far.

[Q] Arc camera often not available

Hi all, I've got my Arc for two weeks, it seems that sometimes the camera is not available when I launch the application. It always happen when the accelerometer doesn't work. It works fine again when I reboot the phone.
Anyone else got this issue? Do I have to repair via SEUS or there is another way around?
Thanks

Nope, I used the camera many times and not even once I saw this issue. It's best to do a repair firmware to rule out that it's not a software issue. Once done and you are facing the problem, then it could be the hardware faulty and you need to bring the phone to service centre for repair.

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll try to repair using SEUS first, hopes it will work
I face this problem a lot, I'll try SEUS.

Having the same problem too, SEUS didn't solve the problem for me unfortunately .
Never faced this problem Use camera many times everyday
Repair by using SEUS didn't solve the problem either unfortunately :-(

I am having exactly the same issue. Had phone 2 days now and many unstable aspects from day 1 and ongoing.
Camera is sometimes 'not available' - interestingly at the same time other things don't work such as the accelerometer.
Phone reboots randomly by itself including during phone calls.
Items downloaded from market disappear .
I am returning it and hoping for a replacement as I do not want a 'repaired' phone after paying so much.
Also should note I have made no changes to the phone at all - this is 'as delivered'
I had this happen a couple of times. When it does I just go to the app manager and force stop the camera app. It should work again after that.
Never had the problem with camera not being available... although most times my photos dont work... its like a black broken image icon that shows instead...

Thanks - Your problem must be different, as this solution does not work for me.The app manager does not show the camera as running, so no force close option is available.
Only way to get the camera to function when the phone is in this 'camera not available' mode is to reboot. Every time the camera is not available the accelerometer stops working as well - again a reboot is required to fix this
^ Yes it is, reboot solved it. But I'm curious, is it a bug or a fail hardware?
I have the same problem. The camera app fails to launch. I long press camera button and get the haptic feedback but nothing happens.
for me it's just the shutter button
never had this problem
but my camera doesn't activate when i press the shutter.
any ideas?
ps: i have vignette demo and fxcamera installed
pps: the arc camera is brilliantly EXCELLENT (coming from a G1)
ppps: the shutter button is terribly stiff
had the same problem but SEUS fix it for me by reflashing the firmware.
The phone should be awake when you press on camera button inorder the camera app to launch

Camera stays on after been used, i think its not possible to quit it with adv task killer, so i downloaded app "fast reboot pro" so test it when u get it back, and it also works with apps, i have seen that issue few times, just click to reboot and it will be good.
just a thought or two..
have you try resetting or calibrating those sensor?
or do you have any app that totally disabled rotation (not just simple rotate toogle)?
Anyone found the answer to this problem? Really annoying

Random Back button! - Would appreicate some HELP!!!

Ok, I have posted on this before and no one seems to bother even replying. But I'm trying again because this problem is really @#$!$# me off!
At random my phone will act like the back button is being presses. But it doesn't happen to all programs or all the time. Programs that are included that it usually happends with: XDA forum app, Play Store, K9 Mail, MobileBiz Pro.
It actually acts like the back button is being pressed. So if I try to open XDA, the loading screen comes up, then BACK to the homescreen. If I go into K9 Mail and am fast enough to open an email, after a second or so, it goes back to the K9 main mail screen, I press the email again, it opens, then BACK to the main screen, then if I wait anothe second or so, it goes BACK again to the homescreen.
But it doesn't do this with all programs. The other thing is, I tried posting this on my phone. I was almost done and tried to think if I was missing anything. My screen times out and turned off, I hit the power button to turn the screen on again, then as soon as it turned on, it BACKED out of my message to the Q&A forum, then BACK to the main xperia play forum, then BACK to the homescreen.
PLEASE HELP. I have no idea how to fix this. I thought it could be not enough memory, so I used supercharger to set the memory settings low so it wouldn't close things unless it was almost out of memory, and no effect. I have no idea what to do and I need help!
I'm hoping this time someone can!
PLEASE!
Have you tried flashing stock FTf files again?

I've tried multiple roms. But I'm not sure if it can be a HW problem since it doesnt do it in all programs, only certain ones.
I mean flashing the stock Rom via flashtool again?
It will give u a clear system

Yes I have.
It's weird, I can use a program called "My OC Transpo" A timetable app for city busses. No problems, but the Gallery app and other programs get the problem.
That is very weird and I bet very annoying it may be a hardware problem then but I'm just guessing :/
I know it seems like it is a HW issue. But why does it do it for some programs and not others?
I used to use K9 Mail, it didnt even do it at first, the problem happend with other programs, then after time it happend to K9. So I switched to MailDroid, and no problems.
Heres the REALLY weird thing. If I WAIT a little bit with the screen on, the problem doesnt happen. Say for 20-30 seconds.
Anyone?
Does the screen have moisture on it when it happens? When the screen is cold and you breathe on it moisture can form. At least it does for me, especially in the morning.
If not, does pressing the back button stop it happening?
Sent from my Ascend G300 using xda app-developers app
Nope no moisture.
It also happens in this situation: i'm using it fine, then the screen turns off from the timeout, it comes back up, and the problem happends. I have to wait about 30 seconds or so for it to start working again.
Well you can view a log cat and see what happened at the exact time of the "random back"

I've never used logcats, is there a guide somewhere?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
No need to logcat HW problems. If you have a warranty maybe they'll fix it. If not buy a broke play on eBay and use its parts to fix yours.

My guess is that you've got a hardware problem :/
Flash stock ftf, if BL is unlocked then flash the relock ftf, and send it off to Sony aslong as you still have Warranty

No warrenty. It's a few year old.
I dont think it is HW. I mean it works FINE for programs like my bus app, titanium backup, etc. but for other programs, K9 Mail, MobileBiz, Google Play Store, it doesnt.
well the apps may just be incompatible and unstable on your rom

Weird, it should not behave this way
Do you have antiviruses or task killers installed ? they sometimes produce such behaviour.
Also you should restart your phone once in a day, that helps to free up ram .
Make a check on the apps you've installed. Try uninstalling the suspected ones.
Or maybe you could go for a software repair using SUS http://www.sonymobile.com/in/tools/update-service/

Camera Crashing

Has anyone had an issue where the phone cant connect to the camera?
It started with Snapchat where i get a black screen with a message saying "cannot find camera, please reset the phone"
After i go into the stock camera app and i get the same black screen. The only way to fix is by restarting the phone.
I've tried to factory reset but that didn't solve anything
Thanks for any help!
Which camera app did you install? 1st suggestion would be to remove that app and reboot
