Error - Cannot connect to camera - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I get "Cannot Connect To Camera" When I use the camera app. I only get it when I use the front facing camera and reboots don't work. Im currently locked out of the camera app because I can't switch to the back camera. I don't have any other camera apps and I wasn't messing with the phone before this showed up. It worked perfectly before
This is what it shows

Are you running stock rom or are you on some custom?
The only time I've ever seen that error was when I still had my LG Ally, and when it gave me that error, it ended up being a hardware issue. It was still under warranty, so I sent it in and got a new one. With that kind of error, I'm guessing it's the same trouble, so you may look into whether or not you're still under warranty.

I.m had your problem you must reset factory your phone.

My front facing camera is green and dark, I attached a picture taken with it (it's the xda website). I guess it's a hardware issue, and I'm still under warranty but will they fix it or give me a new phone? I have unlocked my bootloader via the sony website (R800i)

Are you running a custom kernel?

Did you fix it yourself? How did you know that it was the ribbon connector?

[Q] LCD not displaying

Hi there,
My phone is semi-bricked, that is, when I boot, after the Sony Ericsson logo there's nothing except a gray-black screen
(like this one:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What I've done before:
Flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595058
I was using this rom for about 3 weeks and everything was fine. Two days ago while playing Plok! on Snesoid the phone froze(the gray-black screen popped up). I rebooted(had to take out my battery) and everything was fine. Yesterday while playing "Gravity Defied" the phone froze again. I rebooted again but now I get this gray-black screen right after the SE logo. Recovery doesn't work. I tried to flash the rom from the above link again but it gave nothing. I flashed 4.0.2.A.0.62 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399 and the same problem still occurs.
Is there any way to repair it on my own or do I have to go to a service center?
update: I kept the phone on with this gray-black screen and after about 30 minutes the screen changed to normal Android "desktop". Any idea what's going on?
update2: Maybe that's important -> when the previous 2 freezes occurred I had the PS buttons slide extended. I have played some games in the meantime with the phone slide closed and everything was fine.
Update3: It's definitely not a software problem. If the slide is closed everything is fine. After I extend the slide, the screen stops to refresh(the touch screen works, I can pick up calls etc. when the screen is gray-black). When I close it back it takes some time for the screen to work again. My guess is that's a problem with the ribbon cord but I've no idea what can I do with it...any suggestions?
try flash to original firmware
Its the flex cable. Its what connects your display to the gpu.

Warranty is void when you open the bootloader.

[Q] Xperia S goes to black screen and no response from phone.

I have used TurboRom when i was watching a video my mobile screen faded out and goes black after that no response. I pressed vol + up key after 3 vibrations i turned on phone again. It was booted up and worked fine but when i try to play video or game again the screen faded out and goes black with no response. I have flashed the stock firmware .55 using flash tool. Still the problem persists. I have flashed the stock firmware nearly 5 times and reseted the phone to factory settings and erased all internal storage. Then again it booted up i was able to work on the mobile for sometime and again it went to black screen. Now when i hardreset and turning on phone everytime. For some time i can manage to work for few minutes but now when i hardreset and turning on phone after xperia logo no home screen just a black screen. I fear it will be a hardware issue. Does anyone faced this issue before, Any solutions? :crying::crying::crying:
I'm afraid it may be hardware problem.
Anyway if you have locked bootloader repair it via Update Service.
Use Emma if you have unlocked bootloader.

You are saying the same for every people which have different problems. If you want help like that better if you stop "helping".
Do you have warranty? If you unlocked your phone you don't have it. You should send email to Sony or go to Sony Xperia Chat Support and explain there your problem.

I have locked bootloader but i don't have warranty anymore. I am going to give my mobile to sony service center. Hope they won't ask a lot of bucks where i can buy a new mobile for that instead. I am really sad that sony has manufacturing a crap mobile with attractive design. I would have bought samsung or motorola:crying:

Not work
Even I'm getting a horrible bluish purple tint in JB Camera AFTER the picture is clicked.
If I were to give an excuse, I'd say it has a built-in Instragram.
Sorry for the sarcasm if it's offensive.

Did you get it wet? Go for a run with it in your pocket and get it sweaty? My friend had a similar problem with his Nexus 4 after getting it water damaged.

Hmmm yeah, I have done that a few times but I stopped because I was a bit shocked at how much moisture got on the screen. Is it a ROM problem?

Yeah mate, you could always try and reset it to stock with a new KDZ flash. It may get a bit technical but over on the G3 General page there is a good guide for it. Just make sure you back up everything, contacts, messages, apps, data, photos, music, downloads.. ect to your computer or copy all that stuff to your external SD card, or you will loose it. Also make sure you are flashing the KDZ for your model, never flash one that is for a different model or you will have serious problems.
Chuck a search in google for your model number and something like " Stock factory flash " or something along those lines, then find the corresponding XDA thread for it. Hopefully that might fix your problem. If it doesn't your options are to order a new camera part from a supplier and replace it yourself, or send it in to LG and have them fix it.
Just curious, have you tried another camera app from PlayStore, just to see what it does?

VR- problem with gyroscope

So i bought a cheap vr headset. I couldnt look around in any app or video. After long investingation, one thread suggested yo see use app, called "wireless IMU". And it shows 0 0 0 next to gyroscope. But in spesifications it shows that this phone has a gyroscope. So after even more surfing through internet, i gave up and came to the most inteligent people on the web. Can anyone help me?

No, i havent, but it shouldn't mean it wouldn't work. It doesn't have the magnetic button, but head tracking should work. And no app show, that gyroscope is working, even thought i can tilt the device and it shows side ways ;_; im out of ideas at this point

Not really sure how this app works but gyroscope is getting numbers for me.
Last resort is always a factory reset or reflash the factory image.

Even after a factory reset and factory image reflashed, it still doesnt show anything... And the thing is, all forums (usually 6p) say the devices doesnt tilt, but mine does...
