I just got the phone today my order of events are as follows:
Update OTA to 4.0.4 (yakju)
Start installing some apps then need root
Unlock bootloader and root with the toolkit
Start again with installing Apps and then opened the camera for the first time only to have it close with the error "Unfortunately, Camera Has stopped."
I then tried various things such as clearing data and factory reset which did nothing, I then used the toolkit to reflash 4.0.4 and install CWM and wiped cache/data but it still did the same thing.
I then flashed 4.0.1 stock (it came with 4.0.1) and factory reset/wiped data/cache but it still gave the same error.
I figured I'd ask here if anyone else had any ideas before I return it under warranty.
Edit: Since posting this I've flashed AOKP and had the same error still happening.
Sounds like hardware to me.
If you're savvy, pop it open and make sure the camera flex cable is fully attached.
Good luck!

I updated my Xperia S to JB with PCC.
I thought it would be a smooth experience, but all hell broke loose after the update finished.
1. Walkman does not work. It crashes all the time and always gives me the error "Unfortunately, WALKMAN has stopped working"
2. The album app cannot detect any of my photos stored in my device. Same goes for Ringtone picker. I have tried clearing Media Storage (It always worked for me in ICS) but it simply refuses to rebuild the Media Storage.
3. I cannot connect it to my PC at all. PCC keeps reporting an error and any of their proposed solutions do not work. When I try taking a screenshot, it says "Unable to capture screenshot, internal storage may be in use". Did the update screw up my internal storage?
I am now trying to flash it back to .55 FW. After first successful flash, it is stuck in a bootloop, crashing on the XPERIA logo. So now I am trying to reflash it again. However, I keep getting weird stuff like "Flash Aborted" or "Flash Cancelled" by Flashtool for no reason.
What should I do?

Before you hard brick your phone. Read this carefully.
You probably updated your phone to JB without resetting data/factory reset that is why you're facing force closes, lags etc. Now you should download SUS as you have effed up your phone, from here. Then follow the on-screen instructions CAREFULLY and you'll get your phone back, working with no lag/force closes whatsoever.

I find it odd that Sony didn't mention anything about resetting phone when updating via PCC.
Thanks for your help though. I managed to get it to stop bootlooping and flashed a ftf to completely wipe everything - there goes all my messages.......
Now I'm able to at least boot into .55. Should I update to JB now since it's on a totally clean slate and hopefully prevent any other unexpected stuff from happening?

Well, i'm downloading jelly bean now due to its high antutu score, which basically means more performance. When i updated from Sony Update Service, it asked me if i wanted to just update, or wanted to update with a clean install.

I see. So SUS is a more reliable option I guess.
On another note, managed to update to JB and issues are resolved. Only sad part is a ton of my past apps have about 8gb of SD data on my SD card but they aren't installed -.-"
Time to manually reinstall them.....

Cheers then, if your problem is solved.
I update my phone via Sony update service and now my Google Play Store doesn't work any longer.
I did factory reset, flashed back to ICS and it is same thing, and all google apps like say that it can't reach server.
Did restore phone couple of times but no luck.
Any suggestions?

Possible Solution : CLEAN RE-FLASH
The New Update downloads and optimizes a few apps at start up from phone.
You will find new small apps google updates for 4.1.2 and also new chrome browser.
If you are facing the problem.
Reason is 4.1.2 Google Apps might not be compatible with ICS and vice verse.
What you can do now.
Reset Your Phone.
Check if the phone shows "Optimizing Apps" After Flashing from SONY Official Software..
If not! Flash Again With A Clean Whip.
If You are on rooted and unlocked phone and with recovery : Flash Gapps compatible with your device.
I hope this information helps you.
Reply back if there is a progress.

Just found out that my router had DNS settings that change location for Netflix, and my phone was freaked out.
Now router is on default settings and everything works.
Not sure why XS was fine with it when it was on ICS.
Thanks for reply.
Best part of update is when connected to my car stereo via BT, songs information shows!!!!
I just could guess that even my SE MW600 might work with songs ID, will check later when come back from school.
Hello!
I recently updated to 4.3 and rooted the device using Odin, however the default camera app is no longer responding - it gives me the following error message: "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped working".
Things I've done to try and fix it:
1- cleaned cache and data but that didn't solve the problem.
2- also reset the device to factory through settings but it didn't work either
3- re-install camera.apk (wouldn't install using Titanium)
4- install new stock camera from 4.3 rom (installed but got the same message)
5- manually replaced the files for the camera (system/app/SamsungCamera.apk and SamsungCamera.odex) AND Gallery (SecGallery2013.apk and SecGallery2013.apk) with new ones
Issue still persists...
Any ideas? Pls help.
Thanks!
if you're using xpose mod and wanam update to the latest wanam.

Thanks but it didn't work.
I got it solved today thou in an unexpected way by actually using the Back up feature within ROM Manager - the phone went into back up mode (like recovery mode where you see the little android robot and command lines), waited until the back up process was finished then rebooted without choosing the option to "fix possible root loss" warning. After that camera was finally back again.
Then I recalled that the last time I've done this back up through Rom Manager there was some sort of problem during the process which interrupted it so I realize now that somehow it affected the camera (have no idea how they relate thou) - but the fact is that as soon as it successfully finished the back up the issue was automatically fixed. Weird, stupid and very rare, I know... At least is fixed!

Not to thread jack, but do you have the apk for the stock camera app from 4.3? Thanks in advance
I've had exactly this same problem. Do I have to run a backup to fix it?
I was running cm-10.2.1 and last night I installed CyanogenMod updates cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2 and cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3. Several of my apps either quit working or disappeared. When I clicked on Play Store to try and re-install the apps, I got a message of "No Connection". Searched the problem and several people said to delete the Google Account and re-install it. After deleting it, the phone will not let me recreate it. When I click on Add Account and then the Google symbol, nothing happens.
Is there solution to fix this? if not, can I just re-install 10.2.1 and fix it?
My phone is an AT&T SGS3.
Thanks,
retnuh
Re-flash GApps, that has happened to me before, and this is what fixed it.
As LittlePalmTree stated, sounds like you need to reflash GAPPS. Make sure you grab the one compatible with cm11. cm11 is android 4.4 where as cm10.2 was 4.3 if I am not mistaken.
Thanks for the help. I tried to re-flash the gapps after reading the first reply but before reading the second reply. You guessed it. I did it wrong. The phone would not get past the spinning circle screen. Ended up using CWM to re-flashing the rom stored on my phone and also re-flashing the gapps stored on my phone. So, I'm back to version 10.2.0, but at least my phone is working again. While I would like to update, I'm afraid I will mess my phone up again.
Thank you for both of your replies.
Googled the problem and found a few solutions from the simple - force stop/clear cache - up to full factory resets.
Different things seemed to work for different people.
Tried the force stop/clear cache and check time/date is correct (which causes some people problems.
Then I tried removing my Google account and adding it in again. However, it wouldn't let me do that until I re-flashed GAPPS. Did that and it all works fine now.
Thanks in advance for any advice given!
I was running Mahdi Rom, one build behind the latest, and all I can remember before things went tits up was I was updating a couple of apps through the play store.
Then I started getting repeated androidsystemui processs ended errors every few seconds. I rebooted into recovery and wiped everything through TWRP. Still got system errors after reboot, couldn't even get through the google account login and sync.
Downloaded the LG mobile support tool and flashed back to total stock -- can't go wrong, right?
Now I'm getting android.system.acore proccess ended errors, and Google Play won't run at all. Any hope, or am I fried?
Fingers crossed,

Hi guys I hope i'm in the right place.
So i've had a samsung galaxy s3 t999v for 2-3 years now and just yesterday i decided to root and upgrade the rom.
so i've been messing with it and now in a difficult situation...
I installed Lollipop Custom ROM...
i followed this link
Everything worked out, i had installed the ROM and was working, but I hadn't put installed the GAPPS and when I tried to just get the apk files which i did but google services would keep crashing.
"unfortunately google services has stopped".
Now you may say, oh just go into recovery mode and reset to factory or w.e, well that's the thing... I can't get into Recovery mode.
and that's where I am now... Help.

You can factory reset the phone in Settings > Backup and reset > Factory data reset. If that doesn't work, what happens when you try to get into recovery? It probably wouldn't hurt to try reflashing your recovery.
