Just this evening wanted to take an interesting night composition, pressed the camera button...instead of it to come on, was greeted with a humming sound.... Of sort... The app wouldn't open, tot it was d app with the problem...den turned on my flashlight app, but also greeted the d strange sound...also the light won't come on... I am really disappointed and getting forstrated by Nokia...
what can I do?

Hello, victovic2000.
Thank you for posting and welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions. 
Sorry for the inconvenience it is causing you. By the way, how was the phone now? Is it still doing the same thing? Is it happening to the default camera only or same with the other camera app? Did something happen to your phone prior to the issue? Is your phone's software up-to-date?
You may check if there's an available software update for your phone by going to Settings > Phone updates. Note that a stable internet connection is needed. We encourage you to use Wi-Fi instead. You may also consider doing a 'full reset' by going to Settings > About > Reset your phone. Make sure to backup your files to avoid data loss. Here's how: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/how-to/wp8/basics/back-up-my-stuff. 
Let us know the outcome.

  • Nokia lumia 920 camera not working

    I have tried resetting it in settings and restarting phone but my camera app doesn't work regardless how I try to utilize it, Facebook or directly from menu. The screen is just totally black.
    help appreciated, will I have to take this back?

    Hi cgaskin,
    Welcome to the forum! 
    It might be that the problem is with the hardware of the phone already since reset didn't fix it. If your phone is still in the replacement period then you should contact your retailer to get a replacement. However, if your retailer can't help you, it is best to send it to Nokia Care Point.

    mah nokia lumis 710 camera not working... what to do????

    When you try to open the camera either by hitting the camera key or going to the app list, what happens?
    1. Reboot the phone. Press the volume down and power keys together for 15 seconds until the phone vibrates and starts up.
    2. Check that the software of the phone is updated.
    3. Reset the phone by going to Settings > About. This deletes all the content of the phone so make sure to create a backup copy of your files. See "Reset and restore your phone" in this link to backup important data on the phone: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2606900.
    If above steps would not help, bringing the phone to a Nokia Care Point is what I'd suggest: http://www.nokia.com/global/support/locations/

  • Nokia Lumia 720 Touch not working even after repla...

    Hi ,
    I had bought lumia 720 on 31/05/2013 , but on 28/12/2013 the touch was not working or the touch was working on its own. Since my phone was in warranty then, they replaced the touch free of cost. But again from 20/08/2014 my phone is having the same problem, touch not working. When i showed it to Nokia care, they told that again they need to replace the touch , it will cost around Rs. 7950 (since my phone was out of warranty this time)... My question is, within 1 year 2 months , twice the touch pad has problem. What kind of phone it is .... Please think before buying Nokia touch phones, I think still they are far behind in touch screen technology ( no offense :-)  )....
    Not only me, one of my friend also facing same problem with Lumia 720 ....

    Not beeing familiar with other countries consumer laws and consumer rights, I can only speak for my self and Norway. But as far as I'm concerned I would have expected extended rights for the new parts and the labour. - If however the fault can relate to the parts involved with the mentioned replacement.
    But if this is not possible in your country, there isn't much to do other than repair it for pay or leave it.

  • Nokia Lumia 1020 - did not come with Windows 8 and app is not available on phone

    I was told to install Windows Phone Developer Registration Tool, but I get a Setup Blocked message - This product can only be installed on Windows 8 or later 64-bit Machine...the notebook that I am trying to install it on is Windows 8, etc.
    I want to load Windows 8 on my phone so I can get Cortana.
    Appreciate any responses to help me with this issue.
    Thanks...

    Welcome to the forum, refsens! 
    To verify, you're only having this issue with the recorded videos using the Nokia Camera app, is that correct? Since the reset did not work, might as well try using the Nokia Software Recovery Tool: http://www.microsoft.com/en-ie/mobile/support/faq/​?action=singleTopic&topic=FA142987 for us to further isolate this issue. By the way, when's the last time you've updated your phone? 
    Keep us posted! 

  • Nokia Lumia 920 wifi not working

    Hi
    My brand new Nokia Lumia 920 cannot connect to my wifi.
    It keeps saying that I type the wrong password, which i do not.
    All other devices in my house connect just fine.
    I have tried switching channel on my router and change from WPA PSK to WEP but nothing helps.
    Any suggestions?

    I'll link to another discussion that had a resolution that worked for me. This is the only place I saw a resolution for the problem.
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp8-wpnetwork/lumia-920-refuses-to-connect-to-wifi...
    Basically, I changed my router settings from mixed 802.11 b/g to 802.11 g only. Now it connects, no problem.
    Good luck.

  • Nokia E72- email service not working anymore

    Hi there,
    I recently bought a Nokia E72 for 300 bucks (euros). It looked like a perfect phone and everything seemed to work very well since two days ago.
    I did NOTHINg but suddenly both my yahoo mail and gmail account on mobile does not work, not receiving anything.
    When I tries to delate both the email account a message like this : "you must be connected to delete account" appears.
    I re-did anything restoring the initial settings and trying to re-configurate the accounts. It seems like the authomatic configuration doesn't work at all..when I type email address and password it searches for settings but then anything happens.
    anybody has the same problems? I'm very disappointed because , so far, nokia never let me down..that's why I choosed a nokia phone instead of a blackberry.

    I was facing the same problem. 
    Try this.
    Suppose you are trying to configure gmail account, then select gmail and enter username/password then it comes back to the main screen ( list of type of accounts ). Again select gamil and enter username/password.. Since I have earlier set up my gmail account, so it was asking the email and password I used for the first time to use nokia messaging application. If you don't remember yours, go to email.nokia.com and there you can try out you possible email/password combinations. 
    Also you can edit settings on email.nokia.com for each email account. My email account in Nokia E72 wasn't updating. Then I checked these settings and found the problem. 
    Try if this helps.

  • Nokia Lumia 521 3G not working

    Hi,
    I have a carrier unlocked Lumia 521 which I am trying to use in Asia. I am unable to connect to my carrier's 3G network even though network's carrier frequency is 2100.
    What could be the problem ?
    Thanks,
    Rishabh

    gurish wrote: 
    Interestingly, I have a Lumia 520 also which works perfectly fine on 3G network in Asia. So, if both 520 and 521 are based on the same hardware, why shouldn't 521 work on 2100 network outside US.
    Because the 520 is a global variant while it seems the 521 is exclusive to T-Mobile US only

  • My nokia Lumnia 1020 camera stopped working

    what can i do ;  it is so annoying since the main feature of this mobile phone is the camera:

    Try a soft reset by holding both Volume Down and Power buttons pressed until phone vibrates and restarts. You will not lose any data or settings except possibly date and time.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting the camera from settings > applications > photos+camera > reset camera.
    If that doesn't help, try a hard reset from settings > about > reset your phone
    If that doesn't help, try a full clean firmware reinstall using the Nokia Software Recovery Tool
    If that doesn't help, take your handset to a Nokia Care Point to have it checked/repaired.

  • Digital camera not working anymore

    I'm pretty sure this worked at least once since I installed archlinux.
    But now, whenever I plug in my usb digital camera, I get the usual kde dialog
    and I open the digital camera in konqueror, but all I see inside is a blank
    0k file.
    EDIT:..
    also lshwd outputs:

  • Nokia Music not working anymore - crashes immediat...

    Hi guys. I have been using Nokia Music standard version without any problems for several months in Lumia 820, but now the application is not working anymore. When I click the "Nokia Music" from the list of applications, the app opens ok, but after 2 seconds it closes automatically. I cannot select any of the functionalities (mix radio, create a mix etc...). There is no error message displayed, it just goes back to the application list menu. I have not installed any new apps to my phone recently. Phone restart is not helping. Problem occurs both when using WiFi and also with mobile data. As per Settings/PhoneUpdate my Lumia 820 is up-to-date. I'm located in Finland. Thanks

    yes i have same problem when i open ovi music there is no response from ovi music

  • Both cameras on my iPod touch generation 4 will not work anymore. Is there a way I can send it back to get it fixed? Thank you ..

    Both cameras (front/back) will not work anymore. I would tap on the camera app, and the camera shutters would stay closed for a while and when it finally opens, it leaves a full blank screen. Is there a way I could send it in and get that repaired?

    To rule out a software issue, try to set it up as new device, without using the latest backup, explained in this article:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If this does not help, the problem might be hardware related and the phone needs to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:
