E71 camera malfunction

still have problems with the E71 camera.
camera screen is blank (i.e. dark screen)
the corners of the square in the middle of the screen is showing
the photo/video icon at the upper left corner of the screen is showing
when the capture button is pressed, the options and exit link at the bottom corners of the screen, as well as the details on the upper right corner of the screen, flashes for a fraction of a second. nothing else happens. the camera doesnt capture.
the menu from the right of the screen appears when activated.
when scrolling down the icons, the descriptions scrolls out, however, when one goes down the list, the description of the next icon will scroll out, yet the description of the previous icon remains.
in addition, the the text of the description is a little blurred because the letters has a sort of 'shadow' caused by a delay. the same is true with the 'cursor' (i.e. the navigation open square)
 choosing different options doesnt change anything.
when one goes to the barcode scanner (of which no one can seem to make it work), before the message "Camera is in use by another application", and when one returns to the camera, the same message appears.
so taking the instructions found here, one restarts the phone, yet the problem persists (i.e. blank screen) bt this time the message "Camera is in use..." doesnt appear in both camera and barcode scanner.
furthermore, the phone would sometimes restart itself when one stays in the Camera feature long enough. plus the phone becomes slow when accessing either the camera or barcode scanner.
one has updated to the latest firmware yet the problem remains.
what is wrong with the phone? how can one fix it?
to better demonstrate the problem, i will make a video showing the problem, upload in, say, youtube and put the link here so you can see it for yourself.
if you have the solution please do tell and save evryone any trouble.
thanks.

Sorry huseyn, but these are really lame suggestions and not even worth posting imo. I customize the sh*t out of my phones and restoring factory settings and reformatting the mc is simply not acceptable in the blind *hope* that it'll fix what is obviously a bug that Nokia needs to take care of. No way am I going to lose - then spend again - all the hours I've put into individualizing my e71

  • E71 camera problems

    HI
    everytime I try to use my E71 camera, it tells that my "camera is in use by another application". What does that mean and how can I fix it so I can use my camera again?

    Ok. Home Screen can not be closed. That's fine. I suggest:
    1-First turn off the phone. Take out the battery and reinsert after 20 seconds. Turn on the phone and see if the camera is working or not.
    2- If it still not working, try "Reset to factory settings" by entering *#7780#. This will reset your phone to default settings (your data wont be lost). Now try to see if your camera is working.
    3- If still not working, make a backup of your phone data and then hard reset your phone (by entering *#7370#). All your data will be lost but no worries, you have the backup, right? The camera should work by now.
    4- If still not working, the camera is definitely faulty and should be returned to a Nokia dealer for replacement .
    Good luck!

  • E71 Camera Taking more time to load after firmware...

    Hi friends,
    this forum is extremely useful.
    i had my E71 recently uploaded with firmware 210 and its camera is taking more time to load and using multiscanner makes a sharp sound as it zooms text.
    ANY HELP 
    anyone facing similar problems. 

    If you restored from a backup there could be something in that backup thats causing it to slow.
    If you back it up again, and then hard reset it so that it goes back to default (Remember you will LOSE everything doing that if its not backed up) and then try the camera again to see if it is slow that might give you an indication that there is something wrong in the back up.
    Just an idea.
    Shunts...
    I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black

  • E71 camera bug - white lines

    After installing new firmware version 400.21.013 some new bugs appeared. When I'm using camera sometimes picture has large pixels and it isn't bright. Also from time to time some white lines appear on the screen. They are not grid lines that you can turn on and off. I've tried to take a picture of them but it's fuzzy. Those lines on the picture are thin. Beside them some thick white line also appeared but I couldn't capture that moment

    I have the same problem too...
    I think it is a software problem with to many applications open.
    It also happens if the screen lock kicks in and I press a button to re activate.
    Only once has my phone "frozen" and then I had to take the battery out.
    I can live with it though.

  • E71 Camera

    I am facing a problem as all pictures taken are low quality? anyone can help?

    Open the Camera.
    Goto Options - Settings
    Set the Image Quality option to Print 3M - Large
    Now the quality of the E71's camera rather sucks in low light conditions.  But works OK as long as you have full sunlight.
    I still think my old olympus 3MP digital camera takes better pictures than the E71's 3MP camera.

  • E71 camera not working

    Since linking my E71 phone to PC I have been unable to use the camera. 'Camera in use by another application'. I have tried everything. Help?

    did you install any application recently? that may be the cause, uninstall it, else you would have to try a phone soft reset.

  • E71 - Camera not working/music files not showing

    Just recently, the camera on my E71 isn't working. It says it's being used by another application or something. Also, the music I put in my phone doesn't show up anymore. However, when I plug it into my computer, the files are still there. Does anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it?

    check whether the scanner application is running in the background... happened to me once. press the home key long and check open apps, if you see any app that uses the camera, close it.
    Music files might not show up at first, go to music player, press option and select refresh, the device will now scan for music files...

  • Nokia E71 Camera

    I am a little confuced about the camera quality of my handset Nokia E71 !
    I know that 3.2 m.p. camera is more than enough to view pic. on the screen of the mobile , but it seems that the drawback is in the way the screen deals with colors !
    Nokia claims that it supports up to 16 milion colors,however, comparing the same photo , on my old mobile Nokia 6233 which supports only 256 thousand color ,AND PUTTING THE TWO SCREENS JUST BEFORE MY EYES ,I really see that the colors of the pic. in Nokia 6233 are more rich ,more beautiful and more close to reality !
    What could be the reason behind that from your point of views?
    any comments or explanations? .

    Sorry Ididn't make my self clear from the begining.
    I believe the problem is within the screen or the way the handset handles pictures not the camera itself !
    A picture taken by a third pary device , and send to both E71 and 6233 , it will look on 6233 really better in terms of colors and richness !
    I know E71 was never meant to be a mutimedia mobile like the N series ,but if the camera is 3.2 M.P. so the screen should support such quality with no problems , at the same timwe the screen supports 16 million colors, so where does the problem lie ?!!

  • E71 camera quality

    Just got my E71 two days ago. Great phone overall but the camera needs improvement. Everything has a distinct bluish tint with a lot of noise. Sepia mode really isn't sepia, it gives pics a slight reddish tint. In some lighting it gives more accurate colors than the standard setting.
    Hopefully this can be fixed by software.

    you're totally right ... and the autofocus doesn't seem to be working..
    I am almost sure this can be fixed by software update because the scanner software (that came with my e71 and that I lost when i formatted my memory), gives much better view ... and you can feel the autofocus working .... Nokia definitely has to work on this ...
    I would accept something like the scanner software that would allow you to save the photo as it is and it doesn't try to OCR it...
    yes .. E71 is great .. but the cam is a big disappointment.
    Regards.
    Hi there,
    I agree. I too have been playing with my E71 for the past week, and camera quality is WELL below par. In fact, my E51 had superior camera quality!!! :? (wow, that was so impressive that one, for a 2mp). I expected more from the 3.2mp with AUTOFOCUS. Nokia, what went wrong????
    But what I also find so bizarre, is that the autofocus DOES seem to work!! But why only in the SCANNER application?? It'll autofocus beautifully, to scan business cards or simply text. So it seems to work? I now use this for macro shots I take (choosing to always save my scan as an image) and that's a workaround.
    I'm not necessarily using it as a multimedia device (although the bluetooth headset 503 works wonderfully over A2DP, I can recommend!), but the E51 wasn't a multimedia phone either so it all sounds very strange to me. For a business phone I expect decent camera quality, and when you claim it's autofocus I expect this too then. And not just in the scanner functionality.
    Could someone from Nokia respond please!? If there is a chance that my phone (or the phone of other users) needs repairing because this shouldn't be happening then it's crucial to let us know.
    Many thanks,
    Maurice

  • E71 camera went black...

    I recently discovered that when I start the Camera function on my E71, the screen remains black... I can see the camera crosshairs and all the menus pop up just fine.
    Only no image... none whatsoever. Very occasionally, after a few seconds of the aforementioned black screen with the crosshairs I see a message saying that the camera is in use by another app. Need I say that when I check there's no such other active app to be found?
    So how about it, mechanical failure? Or?
    Yes, I've rebooted my phone and yes, I've reinstalled the newest firmware (4.smthn). The problem remains the same.
    *sigh*

    Did you reset the E71? Dial *#7370# 12345 reformat, you'll lose all data. Make a backup first and restore without the settings. If that doesn't help, you've to bring it in for service.
    ‡Thank you for hitting the Blue/Green Star button‡

  • IPhone 4 Camera malfunction

    Hello,
            Ive had my iphone 4 for just over a year now, and I've been very happy with it, until now. Essentially, the camera has died. The iris fails to open and the camera to video icon flickers crazily until the screen blacks out and the "I'm thinking" spinning circle appears and kicks you back to the home screen. Has this happened to anyone else? I've tried restoring it and got nowhere. Can anyone offer a solution other than contact Apple (whose help line is closed on a Sunday- useful)?
    Thanks in advance,
    DRW

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart..  Reset..  Restore from Backup..  Restore as New...
    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
    Turn the Phone On...

  • E71 camera zoom problem

    When i try taking picture with zoom function,it produce dark image and flash fail to fire. when taking picture without zooming,it is ok and sometime it fail.Any idea?Is anybody got the same problems?

    No, on my phone the flash fires also when the zoom is at it's highest setting (or somewhere in between). Doesn't sound like normal. Though it sounds like a software bug, I'd recommend to take it to the service center.. :/
    Where did you buy your E71? There seems to be pretty significant differences in software when compared with models from Europe to models from e.g. the Asian countries. I have E71-1 Finnish.
