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 flash not working with auto focus

Can anyone suggest how to sort out this problem.

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

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:
With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
Wait an additional 15 minutes, but DO NOTHING with your device...just let it sit and "settle". Then, after 15 minutes, try only the camera to see of you still get this error. If not, then continue to run normally, but watch closely to see if you can determine how long it takes before the error appears. It may simply be that you need to reboot regularly to clear up memory leaks and such.
But, if the error immediately presented after the 15 minutes, then I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens. Again, let the device "settle" for at least 15 minutes and DO NOTHING with it.
If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was. Also, the quantity of 3rd party and/or add-on apps you have installed may simply be too much for your device capacity. You will need to decide what has a higher priority for you...the camera, or some of those added apps.
But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.

camera problem app, its giving me this purple images then the app freezes i press home button its goes fine back home screen it just the CAMERA APP ITSELF. i did RESTORE

I've found a new way .. I restart the phone manually. And it works. But sometimes , the Problem reappears and sometimes it doesn't . But when it does , its just too annoying. Therefore, restarting the phone manually is a temporary solution. But what's the permanent solution for it? Let's wait and hope that someone comes up with one.
And I hope this restarting hint solves your problem too.
P.S- instagram or any other app won't make a difference. That's what i think .. Cz I don't have that app on my iPhone.

My 808 got screen and camera problems. I need new ...

My 808 got so many problem..the camera did not working well and the screen has problem..
The camera problem when recording the video, i used to use touch to focus, but the when listen to the video the weird sound was produced while i focused on something..the screen has problem when looked at the dark pictures especially on grey colour...it was not the noises but it the screen problem..
Please Nokia i need new replacement..i just used this phone, and dissapointed with this..
I bought this phone for the camera, if the camera didn't working well, what the point i bought this phone..
Please one again Nokia, I NEED THE NEW REPLACEMENT..

@Rafi808
Have you installed any third party applications to account for the sound of the continuous auto focus (CAF) mechanism?
You probably need to visit Nokia Care facility so that device can be reset to "factory settings" and completely re-install device software, before pointing towards hardware issue with camera module itself.

Can anyone say is this a camera problem or every ipod do this?

It all depends upon the angle and the type of light getting to the lens.
It is different for different cameras and thus with different iOS devices.

Serious camera problems with the Lumia 800

Hello everyone, I just want to share my experience with you.
I've been using an unlocked Lumia 800 for a week now and I actually like the phone, however these camera problems are just unacceptable.
The camera has SERIOUS white balance problems, and, for me the most important, the auto-focus is just ridiculous. It works bad, but focusing on "macro" objects is just a no go, even usin the touch focus or the "macro" focus mode. Another problem is the lens flare, which reflects how bad these optics might be. You really think that the Carl Zeiss branded optics anything here? Think again. My HTC Incredible S, with its "OEM" optics, (or the Iphone 4S or the SII) just humiliates this camera. Also, is that so hard to make a green square focus confirmarion?
How can they release a flagship device, with this price range, with these problems? No wonder why Nokia is where it is standing now, "almost" in a closing-doors status. They really need better engineers and programmers because everytime they let this happen with a device, they're tossing away their valuable customers. And they really deserve it.
And as I've been reading, the Lumia 900 is having the same problems... How sad is this?
Regards,
RR
Moderator's note; removed personal remarks

No, the camera is not that bad, it is actually decent in lowlight conditions @ISO100 (it automatically raises a bit, but it avoids the 800, unlike the auto-mode), with a good balance between noise and detail. However, In my opinion, that's the whole purpose in camera phones - point and shoot. If I could only take good photos if I find the perfect combination of settings for each situation, the versatility of camera phones would be zero. And of course, if I want "perfect" photos, I'll use my DSLR, but that's not an excuse for this camera, which performs worse that my previous E72.
And understand light and ff course this camera can take amazing photos, as those in flickr, but all cameras can do that. Some do need lots of effort and tries, some not. Even my old Sony Ericsson C902, which was **bleep**, could sometimes take some nice pics.
I'm not complaining about the full set of caracteristics, but about the details that ruin the whole.
- Lack of self-time;
- Metering is also inaccurate. Lots of clipped highlights;
- White balance is a mess with flash and indoors (incandescent or fluorescent lights);
- Lateral lens flare, which is bad and I'll upload an example soon.
- I believe the whole auto-focus is a bit inaccurate, but I can only really notice it in macro captures. This really incapacitates me of taking detailed document photos, which I usually do.
Overall, I'm really enjoying the phone experience, but the camera fails to impress mainly due to the lack of effort by the Nokia Developers to tweak the camera driver properly, which is pitiful.
Here's an example of a screen capture, at 15cm (any other phones I know can sharp-focus at this distance): notice the off-focus/blurred center, the whole image soft-focus, and those stained areas. Weird!

IPad camera -problems with still shot, very grainy images indoors or atnight

Hello, I have the ipad 2 and am experiencing problems with the still camera shots (using the built in rear camera). The images are very grainy to such an extent that th ipad camera images are unusable when taken indoors (under full light), in early evening (under partial light) or at night (under normal indoor night lighting). I can not see any camera settings so not sure if this is a camera problem with my ipad2 or a more general problem with ipad 2 camera images. Any suggestions welcome as It means my iPad2 camera is effectively unusable

The cameras on the iPad won't produce the quality of photo that you'd get from a compact digital camera, and when the light isn't good there will be a noticeable graining. The cameras on the iPad are mainly for things such as FaceTime or for use in good light conditions - otherwise you'll get better results with a digital compact, or even something like an iPhone 4.

Camera problems, with warranty can Apple replace my unit

I have an iPhone 5 with some camera problems, have two or more black dots, looks like plastic particules and in some cases the camera freezes with half screen in purple, i am from Argentina and here there is no iphone service, how i can do a warranty?

Did you try to contact your carrier or provider you bought the device from?
If you bought the phone in another country than Argentina, you'll have to contact the Store where you bought it.
The warranty is only valid in the country where it has been bought.

My iphone 5s 16 gb has an camera problem, turn the camera on tap all green, please help me

My iphone 5s 16 gb has an camera problem, turn the camera on tap all green, please help me

Hi teejayfs,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you've noticed unexpected behavior with your iPhone camera, start with these steps to isolate or resolve the issue:
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
