N73 - camera problem

i have a problem with my n73 camera. when i open camera cover,and camera starts,at once it show "system error" message and it quit's operation. i had that problem three times now,this is third. last two times i did *#7370# reset code and camera worked fine for a while, but the problem comes back. i don't want to reset my phone over and over again,can you help me fix that? thanks in advance

If it works after a reset but stops again soon after, I suspect it may be due to an application you may be reinstalling on your phone after the reset. The challenge would be to figure out which application it may be. The good news is it is not hardware related as a hardware issue cannot be resolved with a reset.

N73 Camera problem auto-focus but no picture!!!!

Can somebody help it's driving me mental.
When I select camera mode I try to take a picture, It does the auto focus thing and a green square comes up with a beep sound but won't take a picture.
I've tried all modes,lighting brightness settings,manual settings etc, but all it does is the focus then beep thing.
Please please somebody help!!!

N73 Phone Memory Formats:
*#7780# format n73 softway means restore original settings but does not remove the calender contacts and data on the phone..
*#7370# format n73 hardway it does remove everything and install them from ROM..so you will loose data and calender contacts, messeges etc..
note: it will ask you for a password and its 12345 goodluck!

73 Camera problem

If i try to take a photo in broad daylight, say for example taking a picture of the city street at 1pm on a sunny day, everything will be completely white. I'm not sure if this is normal. fluorescent light is ok, night time is ok, but if I take a photo at daytime then all my photos turn up COMPLETELY white. Nothing but white. Even on cloudy days, it turns up almost completely white. I've tries playing with the camera settings, white balancing etc etc... nothing seems to help very much, they are all minor changes to the picture. anybody else having the same problem?

Re the firmware update: that's actually not Nokia's fault.
Basically, after Nokia have done their stuff with a firmware upgrade they release it to the networks for them to apply their branding etc to it. Once that's been done, then the upgrade is made available to customers via Service Centers and the Nokia Software Updater (NSU - part of PC Suite now).
Unfortunately, some networks are really lax at doing their bit - some actually don't to it at all.
So basically, your problem is with the Taiwanese network .. assuming you didn't get the phone SIM-free (ie: not subsidised by a network).
The only thing you could do is pay the Taiwanese network to unlock your phone, which I believe effectively makes it SIM-free so far as NSU is concerned. That would mean you could upgrade to the SIM-free version of the firmware (which is available, I guess) from the comfort of your own home.
Re the camera problem: I take it you've checked the shooting mode is NOT set to candlelight / night landscscape / night portrait and that you've played with all of the various options like white balance, exposure value, brightness and colour saturation etc?
Could be that one of those is out of whackMessage Edited by patc on 29-Mar-200711:26 AM
nice... someone who knows a bit more about what they're talking about than me...
umm yes i've played with all the settings like any owner of a gadget would when experience problems...
as for the phone... is there a way to find out if it's like... sim free or something?... i got the phone ONLY... meaning it came in it's good ol box... no sim cards or anything... i went to taiwan... picked up the phone... left the country... came to australia and got a vodafone sim card here... and now im stuck with a gay old firmware

N73 software problems

does the new version of the firmware for the n73 resolve the hang ups/freezing of the phone during normal use? how about the camera problems?
I thinking between the n73 and k800i though the n73 looks like a much better phone when it comes to features its software i heard is **bleep** and very unreliable. I would prefer to get an n73 if all the software problems are solved if not I will go with the k800i.
Please help!
Thanks!

Maybe its just something that has gone slightly wrong with the brand new firmware, as i say everything else seems to be working fine (Except the pdf reader )
Try to choose "local time" instead of "London gmt" if you have set "auto update the time". All operators may not support "auto update the time" and in that case you have to set up the time yourself.
If the Adobe pdf reader is still not working you can download and reinstall it from Adobe's web site (operating system Mobile, Version symbian OS, and select language...).

My BB Curve 9320 having camera problem

Hi there,
I need a solution how can i fix my camera problem.
Whenever i open the application it kept saying ''could not start the application, close other application and try opening camera again..
can i know the solution to this , please?
THanks!

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.

hi mate, have you tried resetting the Nokia Camera settings to default, and also checking that you are fully up to date with the latest firmware for your device, along with the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store?

Front camera Problem?Can I replace it?

I have itouch 5 version 6.1.3(10B329) that have some front camera problem.If i switch rear camera to front camera it never open.Every time it stuck the shuter.I did all the solution like reset,backups,restore.But it doesnt give me any response.So if i take my ipod touch to apple service center ,Can they replace and give me new ipod?My ipod warranty is up to Jan,2014.

First try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

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 ...

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.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

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

a green colour copy of light is showing.please answer someone is this a camera problem or its normal for ipod

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.
