Dev Alpha C (Q10) camera broken: black screen

Hello,
As far as I understand, Dev Alpha C has identical hardware to Q10. My unit's rear camera stopped working - I have a black screen in the camera app when using rear camera and I have a usual viewfinder when I'm using a front one.
I've tried doing security wipes and flashing alternate firmwares (Q10's 10.1 and 10.2) with no luck.
Is it fixable?

Hello, I am experiencing actually the exact same problem on my q10. When I start the (rear) camera, all it shows are rainbow-like stripes. Before that I had the "black-screen" issue. The front camera has always functioned flawelessly, by the way. Still hope it's a stupid software issue, but I'm not sure anymore. Any suggestions?! Thanks.

E72 Camera issue (black screen)

Hi everyone, I am having a problem with the camera in my E72. When I try to use it, it givesme a blank, black screen (no image is visisble as through the lens). Although the right hand side of menu does appear on screen if I press the button, nothing can be selected. It is as if the camera application gets hanged.
I recently updated firmware that resolved the issue. However, it was hardly for 2-3 days and it came back and am unable to use camera again.
Anyone faced same issue, or tried something to resolve it?

The "Ultimate Solution" is not the hard reset because i tried it with the "bloated other files" problem and this camera issue, and it didnt cure the problem.
I just got the headsup from Nokia Care Point that my device couldnt be fixed in a reasonable time so am being sent a replacement. so i'll advice if your device is still warranty covered, then send it to a Nokia Care Point.
The Engineers couldnt fix it in two weeks so its obvious even a software revamp wont fix it, let alone a hard reset.
Cheers

I had a similar problem on a Yoga 3 Pro and no matter what I did, it did not work. So I tried a tool that I have had other people run as a malware repair, and it fixed it right up. But I did not write down what the error was. I do not know if this will fix your problem.

Unzip the contents into a newly created folder on your desktop. Make sure your AV protection is turned OFF before running the tool....

Take photos off from broken (black screen) and locked iphone

I have iphone 5 and unfortunately LCD and digitizer are broken. I can not see my screen at all and it is all black. I want to take my pictures off from my iphone but when i am trying to connect to itunes it is saying in order to take back up i have to unlock my phone. But i am not able to unlcok my phone since it is broken and screen is all black. I suspect my touch screen is not working as well. My phone is working when i press the home button siri answers as well.
I was able to retrieve photos from photo stream of icloud. But i had not shared my all photos in photo stream. There were only few photos in photo stream rest were in the album.
Any help would be appreacited!!!

So I tried connecting it via iPhoto, but it doesn't show any photos in import panel (may be it is locked). I tried to get photos from icloud but again as i said it only gave me photos off from photo stream and not from photo album.

Camera has black screen

my camera has a black screen ive tried resting it many times please help

I would try the basic software troubleshooting: force quitting the camera app via multitasking, restarting, resetting, and then if all else fails, a restore.

Ipod touch camera is BLACK SCREEN

have had this ipod touch less than a week & today the camera is a copmplete black screen. when I push a button on the side it will take a pic that you can see in the camera roll. I can not find any settings for the camera please advise

No info will be lost!!
1. Double Tap your home button
2. Find Camera, hold down icon until it shakes, hit the button in the corner of the icon.
3. Repeat the same process for other apps that use the camera.
Example: FaceTime, Camwow
4. Open Camera
*if this doesn't work take it to apple or do a restore in iTunes.

When I go to camera a black screen comes up. No camera or video. I removed cover and is tha same.

Camera app coming up black......worked fine until yesterday. Removed cover..did not change.

Quit the camera app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

How did you uninstall and reinstall the camera app ecause it is a stock application that should not allow you to uninstall it and since the app isnt on the market how did you install it... Are you using the stock app or a 3rd party sofrware?

When I select camera, it shows a black screen. How do I correct this so I can take pic and video record? Thanks for any suggestions.

It uses AVAsset image generator class provided by apple to get image frames from videos and it runs in background using its handler method.
Handler Method ::
[self.imageGenerator generateCGImagesAsynchronouslyForTimes:times
                                              completionHandler:^(CMTime requestedTime, CGImageRef image, CMTime actualTime,
                                                                  AVAssetImageGeneratorResult result, NSError *error) {
I have nilling all the objects related to image generator class when i came back to Camera screen. still issues of black screen occur while opening camera.
This issue occur in ios7 but not in ios6.

I can not watch YouTube safari. The video came out black ,but it has sound

I can not watch YouTube on safari. It came out black screen , but it had sound.

Does it work on the YouTube app ? Other people have been posting the same issue with YouTube over the past few days - see if the following help.
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Black Screen - Broken Screen or Problems with OS?

Dear all
I'm really hoping someone can help
My Q10 went black screen on Saturday and just turned itself off. I didn't drop it, but remember using it in a garage about 30 minutes earlier for a 5 minute call, and recall that the phone had gotten quite hot. But i had let it cool (didn't use it) afterwards.
I read through a few forums and tried a few battery pulls - no luck. I tried leaving the battery out overnight to reduce residual power - no luck.
All i could see to this point was when i pressed power on, the red light would come on briefly and nothing then appeared on the screen. Occasionally i do get the red light as if a message was there. but nothing was working
So i thought i would take the plunge on Monday and connected to Link, where Link recognised the phone and i was able to perform a back up of files etc. i had done it recently anyway, so wasn't too worried.
Then i decided to reload the software via Link.
First attempt was unsuccessful, but second attempt, Link updated Link software, then updated device software, removed data etc. But then i got a message saying "device setup incomplete - Disconnect device from computer, and complete setup app on my device, then reconnect'
the problem is, i still have a black screen and no amount of swiping etc brings it back to life.
Does anyone have any thoughts about next step?
I'm thinking
a) Screen is broken (maybe it overheated)
b) Maybe i should use an autoloader to reinstall OS - problem is i'm not sure what software version i was up to
c) Maybe i should listen to someone in this community who might have an even better idea or experience with what i am going through.
the only saving grace is that i had my phone on silent, so its not buzzing etc everytime something happens!
Thanks for your help
Hugh

I've got a similar problem: I had it working, but had terrible sound problems with various components (DVD etc). I updated my HK firmware and that seems to have fixed all the problems with the other components but create new ones with ATV2. I'm running HDMI 1.4 from the ATV2 to the HK 255 amp, and no matter what I try and do, I can't seem to get any picture OR sound...
Does anyone know of a solution?
thanks

Take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar for testing, and if it is defective and under warranty they will replace. Since you say iPhone 4, was this a used or refurbished iPhone?

I get a black screen on the camera app on my iPod touch? Is there a solution? Resetting only helped for a few days, problem comes back.

Camera works, with the side buttons it takes pictures.
Although I'm not able to see on the screen.
Mike

First try a restore from backup
If problem still occurs try a restore to factory defaults/new Pod.
If still occurs likely a hardware problem and an appoitment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
