[Q] Camera has stopped - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have Xperia Arc LT15i with android 4.0.4 build number 4.1.B.0.587.
When I start camera, camera don’t start but the message "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped" is showed and that’s all.
I tried to reset me phone to factory setting but camera still don’t work.
Have you some ide a or advice how can I solve this problem?

If your camera used to work well and you did not make any change with your phone such as installing new rom, editing system files ... then you may get a hardware problem, bring your phone to repair service. However, you also should try other tests (if you can) to make sure it is hardware problem not software. You should use other camera apps from google store or install a new rom.

My first suggestion would be to clear data of all camera related apps. Settings - Applications - All, look for apps that may be related to camera, and then clear data of these (yes, one by one).

[Q] Camera force closes

Hi there. I have an issue with my SE Arc LT15i camera.
The issue is that upon opening the camera app, the screen goes black and then i get a message after about 1-2 seconds saying:
Sorry!
The application Camera (process com.sonyericsson.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Force close
Force close is the only option given.
I've searched through xda and through google, and from what i understand, its not a device specific problem and there is no universal solution. I have:
- Cleared the camera cache
- Changed SD cards
- Completed a settings reset
- Completed a factory data reset
- Used SE PCC to 'Repair' the device
All of which have been unsuccessful. I am running stock SE 4.0.2.A.0.42 (2.3.4), with locked bootloader and it is also unrooted.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?
Have you tried to reflash the firmware?
i'm a bit of a noob, but is reflashing the same as connecting to the PCC and restoring stock firmware? i've never changed the rom or anything, just the SE updates

Try repair function in PCC.
yup tried the repair function. contacted SE and they told me to use SEUS and update/repair the firmware. still no luck however. =/
do you guys think it might be a hardware problem then? I have gone into the service menu and testing the camera there causes the service menu to crash
I have the exact same problem with my LT18i. The problem has been intermittent, coming and going, but now it seems it is here to stay. I have tried doing a factory reset, switched SD-cards, cleared camera app data/cache, removed camera module to check for bad connections. Nothing has worked.
Searching the net gives no solution that works, but lots of thread with people having the same problem.
Has anyone found an actual solution or has any good info on the problem?
(please, no half-assed guessing - I've read tons of it already and I've tried it all... :angel

[Q] Stock camera application problem

Hello everybody,
I have problem with stock Camera application on HTC One X. Everytime when I start Camera app, app just exit and stay in recent apps. I read a lot of different topics about HTC One X camera problems over this forum but nothing helped.
One thing worked but I made mistake. When I turned on my phone today, after 3 months, there was HTC available updates. Actually three updates. One of them was stock Camera app. I have installed that applications and tried again stock Camera and it worked.
My mistake was that I wanted to delete all trash from phone and do hard reset, after that, stock Camera application don't work again and HTC don't send application update again.
I tried to overheat G-sensor (not working)
I tried different camera apps form Google Play (all working) just stock Camera app don't work.
My phone isn't rooted.
Does anybody know, how to force (or something like that) HTC to send stock Camera application update again?
I tried standard ways, Settings > About > Software update (there is no any update), *#*#checkin#*#*, clear google firmware data... nothing helped.
Solution
After hours of playing with phone -> solution:
1) Go to Apps manager > All > Search for updater > Clear data
2) Go to Settings > About > Software update
If problem still persist, wait few hours/days and try again, update should come.
After updating stock camera application, everything work as usual.
No so lucky for mine .both camera,s are dead .

[Q] Camera not working on non stock ROM

I have a known camera issue in which I cannot solve.
My camera does not work. Any app that tries to get to the camera fails.
I know that is not an hardware issue because on stock ROM the camera works.
Crash report:
java.lang.RuntimeException: startPreview failed
at android.hardware.Camera.startPreview(Native Method)
at com.android.camera.AndroidCameraManagerImpl$CameraHandler.handleMessage(AndroidCameraManagerImpl.java:261)
at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:102)
at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:136)
at android.os.HandlerThread.run(HandlerThread.java:61)
NOTES ַ& UPDATES
- I updated my firmware to NE4 so I cant install CM11
- I noticed that on CWM recovery its asks to ROOT my phone if I dont have one. This ROOT makes to phone to not detect the camera even on stock ROM.
- I used S3Rx_UCUFNE4_AROMA_11-9-14 to install the stock ROM. The camera wont work until I removed the KNOX app.
- I have tried to install ROM cm-10.2.1-d2att_for_NE4 and its the same problem
- Installing different kernels make my phone stuck on bootloop.
- The camera worked for one time only on CM10 after enabling " temp unroot" and than remove it in superuser app. But after this its not working.
Here is that things that I have tried:
- I checked to camera with no SD card so that gallery is empty.
- I updated my firmware from UCUFNE4 to UCUFNE4.
- I have installed different camera apps.

I have tried this ROM and I have the same problem

IDEAS
I think that the problem is with the kernel or something with the ROOT.
Any room expect the stock one have broken camera.
I WILL GIVE BIG DONATION TO THE ONE WHO WILL SOLVE THIS ISSUE
There is a corrupt image or video file in your gallery that is preventing the camera from connecting. Look in your gallery for any recent files that just show a black square for their thumbnail and then delete them.
After that, clear data for your camera app and maybe even restart your phone just to be safe. It should work.

Camera stopped working after latest update

Hello everyone!
Last week I updated my Desire 816 to software version 1.60.401.1, and suddently camera (both cameras, the front facing one and rear facing one) stopped working.
The system camera app simply goes black just as opened, third part apps stuck as soon as got to the camera function (e.g. Instagram).
I tried clearing the system camera app cache and data, but this does not solve anything. What should I do now?
If that's an hardware issue, it is so strange it came just after the update!
Ok, problem solved. I performed a software reset as described in the user manual (long press on power button, choose reset, click on yes).
I asked the phone owner if she had done it, she said yes, but actually she hadn't: she had just switched it off and on again.
Sorry

[Q] [HELP] Getting "warning:Camera Failed" error popup when camera app is opened!

[Q] [HELP] Getting "warning:Camera Failed" error popup when camera app is opened!
I keep getting this when I try to open my camera or any other third party camera application .
i tried clearing the cache , factory reset, hard reset and also removed Sd card n tried, still nothing.
But i am able to use the front camera on snapchat or on a hangout video call alone. If i tried to switch cameras ,they would just crash.
A fix would be really helpful!!
PS:
i bought the phone elsewhere and cant return it or exchange it
