Camera problems after updating 8100 Firmware to v4.5

Hi All
This is a known issue to me as I update all our work handsets with Blackberry firmware for the company I work for.
After updating the firmware on several handsets to the latest 4.5 version of the Blackberry 8100 there is a problem with the camera.
When you are in view mode and outside (even whilst overcast) the screen goes white as if the aperture for the lens is open wide.
Even when you take the picture the result is whiteness everywhere.
Please see examples here:
http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=540100
and
http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=540101
Both of these pictures were taken indoors with just flourescent lights on.
However if I return the firmware to a lower level the problem no longer exists.
I have tried changing the white Balance settings on the handset and no matter which setting I put it on the same results occure.
I was wondering if there is a patch or do I have to wait for the next version for a bug fix?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Solved!

Upgraded the handset software to 4.5.0.55 and the camera problem no longer exists.
Can I get Kudos for solving the problem myself?? LOL

Camera Problems after Update - NOKIA SUPPORT PLEAS...

Hi There
I am reading over the net that some users lost the ability to use the camera after Update of firmware.
I am one of those that have a N93I (Which supposed to have a great camera) that can't use the camera any more , When I try to use the camera I get stripes on the screen and the pictures are all black.
I am reading about the same issues with other users and other phones.
I have tried to update the software several times and it remains the same.
What are my options , I got the phone as a gift from other state and I don't have a place that can help me here in Israel , I guess I need to re flash the phone but no support center in Israel that can do this since this phone is not “official” supported in Israel ... What can I do.
I must say that I am disappointed from Nokia phones; I have bought two in the last months:
Nokia N93I : I cannot use the camera after using the NOKIA software update.
Nokia N95 that the screen turn to black, the phone is working but nothing on the screen ,At least this can be fixed by Nokia partner in Israel since the phone is also being sell in Israel.
I am a big fan of Nokia, I used a many phones and the main issue is that those are the best phones and I feel like **bleep** with those.
Please help me and advise me what I can do with my N93I.
Thanks in advance.

I AM VERRY SORRY TO BE THE ONE WHO TELLS U THIS but, unfortunatley the black photos and strips are not caused by the update (( it is a HARDWARE problen nothing to do with software. i had the same problem and i went to a service with it, they reinstalled the soft but still didnt work, then when they checked the camera inside the prob was truly this thing: camera itself
srry man anyway try to get an opinion of ur self from some services i may be wrong
(that war the problem in my case with black/blue photos and stripes)

Iphone 5 back camera problem after update to IOS 8. Focus doesn't work on back camera!

My device is Iphone 5 64gb IOS 8.
I have problem after update to IOS 8. When i run camera.. I hear some scratch inside my phone. And focus of back camera doesn't work.
1. How can i fix it?
2. Or how to rollback to IOS 7+ ?
3. Should i come to app store with this problem?

I'm having this same problem too. Worked fine prior to iOS update. I contacted Verizon this morning who advised that this is a known issue. They suggested I backup my device, and perform a factory data reset. When prompted to update to iOS 8 again, re-installation has been known to resolve the issue. With all the problems with iOS 8, camera, and overall device slowing, I might just wait for a follow on SW turn.

Camera problems after update to 8.1

After updating to IOS 8.1 on my iPhone 5, my camera died. I tried to recreate the phone, but I am sure that the problem is the Software update, and as long as I can't go back to an early version I can't fix it. What do i do? I had no problems with the 8.01 like everybody else.
The camera is like frozen... sometimes i can switch and get the front camera ( the one that is on the same side as the screen ) to work but the main camera is dead.

Hello there MikeeSimonsen,
It sounds like your camera is not working at all on one side, and very inconsistently on the other side. Start with these steps in the following article:
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
If the issue persists, before you reach out to Apple per step 4, I would next backup your phone and restore it as a new device, rather than restoring it from a backup with this article:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
Restoring an iPhone as a new device with iTunes will determine if the issue is to do with software or not. If the issue does not persist when it is restored as new, then restore your backup and verify it still works, or isolate the issue to the backup itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Nokia 6500 slide problem after updated to firmware...

Hi, I have recently updated my nokia 6500 slide with the latest firmware version 9.40. I realise that after the upgrade, my phone encounters problem reading the SD memory card. It happens intermittently, sometimes you see, sometimes you don't. Initially I thought it was due to my memory card but after replacing it with a new one, problem still occurs.

It looks like something on your system caused the updater to crash.
Unfortunately your only option for that model is to take it to a nokia care point for repair. Tere's nothing else that you can do for it.

Problem after updating to Firmware 2.2.1

Hi.
I am having a huge problem with my iPhone, I have just updated my iPhone to 2.2.1 when I had problems with the SMS because I could not even type anything as "N" kept pressing Enter but I am not touching Enter, so I had to reset and restore it with 2.2.1.
After restoring and syncing the iPhone with my Songs, Videos, Pictures, etc... my iPhone prompted that my iPhone is activated so I dismissed the message, and slided the 'slide to unlock' and got to the Home Menu, this message about the:
*Edit Home Screen*
*To rearrange icons, touch and hold any icon until it starts to wiggle, then drag icons to desired locations.*
*Drag an icon to the far right to create additional Home screens.*
*Press the Home button when done.*
I got this prompted up, so I tried to dismiss it, but I couldn't even dismiss it, I can't even press the 'Dismiss' button.
I restored the iPhone again, it is still not working ... what should I do?
Please help me to let me follow easily.

Hi Wayne,
If there is a protective case or film on the iPhone, try testing without it.
Also, try the general touchscreen troubleshooting tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1650?locale=en_GB#faq5
If the issue persists, the iPhone may need hardware repair. Make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it or call AppleCare.

Problems after updating to firmware 3.0

Hi all,
On wednesday I had updated to version 3.0 for my iPod touch 2G. I could see comparing to other touch 2G (v 2.2.1) that WIFI connection is very slow into YouTube, Safari, AppStore and all apps that uses WIFI connection.
When I look at Setup -> General -> Information I could see my MAC Address so, problems that have other people on forums is not my problem.
Do Anyone have a solution? or I have to wait to another firmware update.
Thanks a lot

There are a couple of things you can do:
1. Reboot your router
2. Reset your network settings
3. Under the settings for the network you are connected to, change your proxy settings to Auto.
WiFi isn't really slower under 3.0 (at least not on my network) so try those things out.

Z10,Q10 & Z30 slow restart problem after update to firmware 10.2.1.1925

Hi, I have just updated our blackberry Q10 and Z30 to new firmware, which is fantastic! I point out a problem, probably a small software bug.When I turn on the Blackberry reboot is really slow and spend a few minutes before I was prompted to enter the PIN code of the SIM card.The problem is the pin code of the SIM card: If you take this option, restart will be as fast as before! I hope that will be soon released an update that resolves this problem.Thank You Hello.

Thanks for clarifying, hopefully someone from BlackBerry will pick this up and it will be fixed in a future release.

Camera problems after update

So after the latest update my phone keeps saying camera unavailable, this was very frustrating when I went on holiday as I kept having to close and reopen the camera app to take pictures!! I bought the phone partly because of the camera. It's still not fixed and it affects other apps like snapchat and Instagram.

Wow!

how did you know man?
Actually it's just what you said. I have installed the quran application from the Nokia website in the same day that I upgraded the firmware. Now I removed the application and the browser is working well.
Thank you very much.
Bro, you don't have to uninstall Quran application, just do this :
-download the new Quran application (no more font problem in nokia default browser, they solved it)
OR
-copy all fonts in z:\resources\Fonts to c:\resources\Fonts (create the folder if it doesn't exist) and then reboot your phone (note: your phone must hacked, so the C drive is writable)

White screen problem after updating to 1.1 firmware

My 2G iPod Nano worked fine with 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 firmware but after updating to 1.1 I get white screen everytime I turn it on after longer period of time. Turning the iPod off and then right back on makes it work again. I have done restore 3 times without effect. I even removed the firmware files so that iTunes downloads them again when doing the restore but that didn't work either.
Should I return it or wait for new firmware? Has anyone else had this problem after updating to 1.1?

Disconnect iPod and close iTunes.
Firmware files are in "Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates" folder.
You should still have the 1.0.2 files named "iPod_19.1.0.2.ipsw" and "iPod_19.1.0.2.ipsw.signature" in there if have you upgraded from 1.0.1 version.
Remove 1.1 files from the folder so that only those to files are in there.
Disconnect from network (I switched off my wlan) so that iTunes can't download the new version. Connect your iPod and do Restore, iTunes will now use the old firmware files because it can't connect to the internet.
