Grrrr... 2 months and camera shutter stuck

Question

The camera on my 4(and any app that might call the camera) is stuck showing the shutter.
I have tried soft and hard resets, and totally resetting the phone and restoring from a backup.
It's still stuck. Went to the Apple Store, got told that I needed to book ahead. Had to book for later in the week.
iPhones owned: 3G, 4
number of times iphones replaced: 2
iphone power plug re-calls: 1
macbook batteries re-called: 1
macbook with wrist plastic falling off: 1
confidence in Apple hardware: -5
Why do I keep buying this stuff?

Answer 1

Try closing the Camera and Photo Booth apps via the taskbar and see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera or Photo Booth app '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 Camera and Photo Booth apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do 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.
