Camera Problem

Well I just got my JasJar and when I press the camera the app comes up and then nothing but a black screen. Is there any software update out there? The camera that is on the screen works but not the one on the back.
Jr...

I believe that you able to do an exchange...most probably your camera hardware is faulty.

having the same problem with camera. Screeen is black but video cam still works
.. any suggestions?

dont point it to the ground? ensure you are in a vary bright place! make sure you dont have the cover over it!!! adjust the settings by clicking on the tools on the bottom right and adjust ambience and settings, really get creative and perform your own manual adjustments. switch the flash on?
the camera is **** and dark, so dont expect miracles.
alternatively, send it back. it should work.

Do what Simon suggested but if that doesn't help, change the settings in Camera to Auto incase its on something else. You mentioned that video cam works but camera mode doesn't. What about the other modes like Burst, Sport etc etc?
If nothing helps, try a soft-reset. If that doesn't help, try a hard-reset. If that too doesn't help, then a ROM re-install is in order. Now, if that too doesn't help, then i'm sorry but you will need to send it to the service centre.

Second Camera

Hi, my front camera doesn´t send any image, i probe whit various roms of wm6 and the last of wm5 of htc and the image is black, i probe coolcamera, and the display is black then when i select the front camera, any idea or solution?

The Good Thing Is That If i Choose The Back Camera ,it Works So Well (No Problem With The Back Camera) ,But Still Not Gonna See Who i'm Talking To
Thanks So Much

is your camera button screwed??

mine is...
after pressing half to focus, of course i need to press all to take the shot right?
but when i do so.. it defocus and refocus again usually...
if not while focusing, it will stop
it is as though the button has problem... anyone else have same prob?

same thing did happens in my x1 too..
reset to default setting would fix the problem temporary, n then it start defocusing again while pressing the cam button half away down to shutter..

my camera button was like this as well....
and i got a new replacement phone after going to the service centre.
you guys should do the same too...

I am not sure if I understand your problem, so if a am wrong ignore me .
From my expierience it means that it cannot focus correctly (especially in 'manual-focus' mode), mostly due to low-light since the Xperia uses contrast-based-autofocus.
One or more 'green blocks' (on automatic focus) indicate a successfull focus, does it do that at your devices?

nah.. i am a camera user.. its not.. its a problem... but hardware or software?? returning it is a hassle sigh

if you guys are looking for a quick fix to this, simply use the optical joystick button instead of the camera button to take the pic.
on a side note, i had the same exact problem on my old k800i, i just used the joystick to take pics instead of the camera button on the side of the phone.

how do u do that?
how do u semi depress?

That's not the smartest question. You could have pushed the button quicker and seen that it's automatic.

thats not the friendliest reply... most "photographer" will need a focus lock function .. hence asked about it..
anyway i went to SE and they told me nothing wrong with my button.. maybe software.. they will refresh the whole thing...
i got owned.

updates,
refresh did not help...
so its not hardware its not software... hence?
the button is just lousy???
anyone has solutions?

when i click the camera button to open the camera it doesnt alway work either. and yh it doesnt take pictures.

All i know is that the camera sucks really really really bad!!!
Its slow on focus
its slow with taking a picture so the smallest movement make the picture blurry
its worthless in the dark
the light does not help unless its something close by.
only good thing is that i can use the light to walk around the house when its dark and i dont want to turn on the lights.
i dont understand why it sucks so bad.
sony makes good camera's
why is it so hard to make a desent camera that is fast with a flash.
other brand do it,............

mine doesnt even start-up my camera...any way to assign another key to the camera? otherwise its crap!

what i think it is the problem of the button. it is really a bad design and make it hardly to press. i have tried so many times so that i believe that it is not software problem. it is just the stupid camera button...
so, i use the "enter" button of the optical joystick to shoot instead.

the mechanics insisted nothing wrong with the button..
sigh..
using the joystick, wont u loss the feature of focus lock?

but mine is no problem. I wonder if the X1 sell in your countries have more bugs than the one sell in HK? Case cracking problems and camera problems.. and so on!!

About video call you never heard?

If u have front camera, other than video call, check my screen-shot attached.

I was wondering the same thing.... Mine is a nike100 16 keys and that option is not there, any idea?

Start your camera program, and in the menu, you'll see a button called Camera. (like in the picture that monx showed). Pressing this button allows you to switch between the front and back cameras.
Bear in mind that the front camera is not as good as the back camera.

Front camera
Unfortunately the button is blank and there is no reaction if pressed

I had a Niki with the front camera problem... the camera is phisically there, but there is no way to activate it... gotta send it to HTC in order to fix it

So its an hardware problem??
I have exactly same problem. Cant change between cameras and using videocall nobody sees me.
I remember using another ROM and use that camera...

I had that option a long time ago to swith cameras. No I've downgraded to the ROM, Radio and HardSPL I had when I was able to do video calls, and that option is not there anymore.
I think it's an hardware problem. Nothing to do. Got to send my nike to HTC. And for sure its not cheap.

once I just fixed the problem, but after some days, it came back again.
so i do not suppose that it is a hard ware problem.
The most important the place I live in there is no such service
