IPhone 4 Camera shutter won't Open

I Bought an iPhone 4 a month ago from the USA
and now I live in Saudi Arabia
Everybody Says that it's a Hardware Problem
and The Carrier Supporter here in saudi arabia is Mobily
and they Don't fix iPhone's
So What can I do ??
Please Help
information
problem : Camera doesn't work
iOS 4.1
iPhone 4
Operating system : Windows 7
If i Bring My iphone to The same Place That I Bought it from
Will They Replace My iPhone or fix It ??
Thank you

I'm sure if you brought it in & explained your situation they'd replace it or try to fix it. You could also call Apple Care & perhaps they would mail you replacement. I personally would call Apple Care & most likely they will suggest you update to latest update but ask first whether that would jeopardize returning it....I don't think it should but I'm a cautious person

  • My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera.

    My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera. I plan on replacing this phone with an iphone 5s when it comes out but I need this phone to work until then.

    When you did the restore, did you restore from a backup or restore as new? The final step of user troubleshooting is to restore as a new device, not from a backup. If you restore as a new device and the camera still does not function, it is probably a hardware issue. Make an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar and have the device checked by a Genius.

  • IPhone 4 camera shutter won't open when on WIFI

    SInce upgrading to iOS 5.0.1 on my iPhone 4 the camera app's shutter won't open when on wifi.  Works fine when on 3g.
    I reset the phone, restored the os, turned on an off location services, etc etc and nothing works.
    Anyone else have this issue or have a solution for this?

    Camera shutter PROBLEM SOLVED on my iPhone 4.   It looks the shutter locking is due to moisture.   I dried the phone using the cold very dry air from an air conditioner outlet for one hour.   The shutter began opening lickety split, better than ever before.(refrigerator or freezer wll not work!!!! - will not dry the phone internals) .   
    A guy on Youtube suggested drying out an iPhone 3 in the sun to solve Wifi operation problem and I decided to try on my iPhone 4.  The trick worked, camera shutter opens in about 1/2 second rather than 4 or 5 seconds or never.   To remove moisture from the phone, I suggest the A/C trick as more effective and safer than sun or hair drier.   Other possibility could be the 2 day jar of rice treatment.    RS in Kuala Lumpur

  • Iphone 4S Camera Shutter won't open after update to iOS 5.1.1

    are other people having this issue too and if yes then how did you resolve it?

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes up again? You will not lose data doing a reset.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device again, without using the latest backup.

  • IPad 2 camera shutter won't open! PLEASE HELP!

    The iPad 2 camera shutter won't open!  I restored the iPad 2 and it still won't open.  Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem as well with my U.S. bought iPad 2.
    My problem occures when I try to switch from the back camera to the front camera, then the shutter will not open.  I've tried everything: turning off, hard reboot, reset to factory, and re-applying firmware... still nothing.
    I have not tried charging it overnight, will do and post results.
    bummer!

  • Iphone 5 Camera Shutter will not open

    I have an Iphone 5 and the camera shutter will not open, i will not work in any other camera app either. I can open and reopen it several times and then manage to click the front camera which does work fine. I have called Apple Support (which isnt helpful) as have to pay for them to run through troubleshoot with me!!! - I have not even had the phone for a year, anyone sorted this issue or have this issue?
    I have tried all resets and again same problem!!
    thank you

    From experience you can try a restore but this usually would be resolved by hardware service. Seek service at your local "Genius Bar" if possible.

    Hey, so about a year ago I had this problem and went to apple but they were no help at all and did nothing but it seemed to work by itself afterwards.

  • Camera shutter won't open in iphone 5

    I just got a new Iphone 5 as a warranty replacement.  The camera feature doesn't work.  The shutter remains closed.  The video doesn't work.  My flashlight app won't work.  I've tried a hard close on the camera app.  I've tried turning the phone off and on again.  The camera is not restricted.  It seems to be a software problem but I don't know how to download a new driver if that is how these phones work.  Please help.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • IPhone 5s camera app won't open and crashes from lock screen and control menu

    Hello, I recntly got a Black iPhone 5s 16gb and it was working fine. Then sudenly the camera app started crashing after i took photos. Soon later the camera app wont open at all and if i try opening from the lockscreen the phone just reboots. Ive tried just resetting all settings just off the phone and nothing happened, so i decided to restore my iPhone to factory settings and still had no luck. I also had a problem with the flashlight it stopped working aswell (went gray on control menu) and all flashlight apps wont even. I also found out that my snapcat front camera (selfie camera works) and there is no 'swap button.
    This is the second time Ive been suffering from a camera issue the first one was ery similar the shutter wouldnt open because there was no memory, but now ive got 9.1GB free so this cant be the problem.  Other reviews i have read state that the phone has a hardwear issue and need to be replaced.

    FIX FOR REAR CAMERA AND FLASHLIGHT!!!
    I also had the same flash and rear camera problems as everyone else but I figured it was a software problem.
    To fix the flash/flashlight, simply download the flashlight app. The one everyone used before iOS 7. The flash should work immediately.
    To fix the rear camera go to Settings > General > Restrictions. Enable restrictions and turn the Camera off, then take the restriction off. Check your camera, it should work immediately.
    Hope this answers a lot of questions and saves a bunch of money due to Apple's failures.
    Cheers,
    Tim

  • IPhone 4S camera all of a sudden the shutter won't open, camera freezes.

    My camera shutter won't open, won't take pictures, then freezes when I hit any other camera buttons.
    This started happening a few days ago, before I updated my phone to 6. But it's still not working.
    Tried hard reset shut off. Didn't work.

    Well, there are other troubleshooting steps to take that are outlined in the User Guide.
