bekio · 08-26-2011, 11:30

Hello everyone,

I have recently purchased SonyEricsson Xperia X10i.
When i purchased it it was with Android version 1.6, and i have made an upgrade using PC Companion to

Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: 2.1.71
Kernel version: 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537
Build number: 3.0.1.G.0.75
After upgrade the camer is not working.
When i pres camera button it is displaying what i am focused but when i press button to take a picture it is not taking the picture and all the icons that are in display are disappeared.
I have done Factory data reset and Settings Reset, but still the same problem exist.
Camera to record video is working good, but still not taking picture.

Recentrly it has diplayed an Error:
Caption: Sorry!
Body: The application Camera(process com.sonyericsson.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly.
Please try again.
Button: Force close.

When i try to change resolution it displays me a message:
Caption: Sorry!
Body: Activity Camera(in application Camera) is not responding.
Buttons: Force Close and Wait.

Can someone help me about it.

Thanks in adwice.

Re: Camera not working after 2.3 gingerbread update
ok all, I might have al least a partial fix for you. I upgraded to 2.3 directly from 1.6 and experienced the same issues as above. After *alot* of messing around, I did the following and both the camera and camcorder are now working almost 100%.

**For the following series of steps, if at any stage you get a popup stating the camera/application is busy or not responding, choose the option to WAIT**

1. Start the camera

2. Go into the Focus Mode menu option.

3. Select the Multi auto focus option

4. Switch to camcorder mode

5. Go into the Scenes menu option

6. Switch to Landscape

7. Exit the camera/camcorder app

8. Open up your memory card in a file explorer...I use ES File Explorer from the Android Market.

9. Browse to /sdcard/DCIM/

10. Rename your existing folder 100ANDRO to something else...I renamed to Bkp100ANDRO

That's it.

When you first use the camera, it creates a new folder called 100ANDRO, and all photo's go into this folder.

The camera now works provided you leave it on Multifocus and all other menu options work without issue

The camcorder now works perfectly provided you don't select the 'Normal' Scene mode

Limitations

a. Camera

If you do change the focus type, to infinity or macro, the camera does appear to carry on working, but the old popup can appear again. However, if you select wait, again the camera appears to continue working

Single focus is a disaster. You may get 1 photo before you have to exit the camera

b. Camcorder

You can use all scene types, but if you select Normal, any further menu option access will result in the usual wait/force close popup
