[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] Camera has stopped

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).

M8 camera issue

I have htc one m8. My camera app showing only selfie and photobooth mode. No other mode available. I have done hard reset and also run it safe mode but issue was not fixed. Anybody help me. Is it hardware issue or software. Tell me if anybody find a fix.

Hi,
yesterday the same thing happened to me. Only selfie mode and the photobooth mode. I tried erasing the camera app cache, uninstalled camera updates, re-installed it, rebooted, used a different app to take pics.. no luck.. I have no lastpass app on my phone, so none of those issues with that app apply on me.. the camera won't crash, but only works in selfie mode. and the only one option that can be installed is the photobooth mode.
any thoughts?
/Android 5.0.1, HTC sense 6.0, Software 4.16.401.13/

[help] Marshmallow apps keeps crashing

Hello.
I'm noticing too many apps crashing on my device. I'm on android 6.0, htc sense 7.0
Apps crashes with following error "Unfortunately App Has Stopped"
I've to restart my device in order to make those work again.
What I've tried so far:
Clearing cache.
Rebooting
Uninstalling / Reinstalling apps
Even after factory resetting, this message keep up coming. Do any of you guys ever experienced this issue?

You may try to RUU, if one exists for your version. RUU will wipe the phone, but you've already done that, anyway.

Even I am facing the same issue on my Moto G4 plus.Can anybody help.

Its not a good idea to ask for help, in a device forum that doesn't match your device. The solutions for another device may not work, may not apply (such as my advice on the M8 to run RUU, which is an HTC specific tool, or may even damage your device.
Try to find your device specific forum section.

My HTC10 unable to start the camera

For a few days, I get error "Unable to start the camera" when I tap on the camera app.
I already test,
other camera app (e.g B612)
I clear data, clear cache, disable, force stop
reboot in safe mode and test camera
*#*#3424#*#* HTC function test, no option to test camera.
when I open flash light app, it always show loading
go to recovery and wipe cache
make factory reset
Always show unable to start camera
So how should I do.
I'm from Myanmar (Burma). I order it from US store over 9 months
Our HTC Myanmar Center can't do for this error. They never face this problem and HTC10 not import to our country.
My software no is 2.51.617.11
Is this software or hardware error??
Please reply for my error,
Request you all.

Try this: go to the play store and install this flashlight app. Run the app. Does the flashlight work? Now try your camera again.

This was an experiment that shows the flash mechanism of the camera is not working properly. To get your camera to work you will have to downgrade your firmware to 1.9.xxx.xx and use a Marshmallow rom. The easiest way to do this is to find an ruu.exe with that firmware series and install that on your phone.

Correct.

I have the same problem. Yesterday I received the 2.51.617.11 update on my HTC 10 from T-Mobile, and the camera and light wouldn't work immediately after.

I'm out from US.
My country have HTC center but they not import HTC10.
They can't do nothing for me.
I bought if form US store, I have been bootloader unlock.
I think this may void HTC warranty right?
