N97 camera won't work when opening the lens/runnin...

I have the latest firmware v21 (jan 14 2010). This problem persists from firmware 1.0 (first firmware) and until now.
The problem is when I open (slide) the lens cover to take pictures, the camera application runs, displaying all the button/menus but in the middle where the scene should be displayed is black.
I can still adjust options such as flash, zoom in/out but its all dark, as if there's something covers the lens.
When I try to press the "Capture" button, either the hard one or the one on screen, it says "processing" and stay there forever.
This problem does not happen all the time, but rather 80% of the time. When I reboot the device, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. I think it's most likely to be the sooftware problem.
Anyone got the same issue that you can't use the camera at all on your phone? Should I send it for warranty?
Thanks,
-Caten

You gotta send it back. I didn't have this problem I had another, BUT when I sent it back many, but not enough of the phone's "slow ups" were because of a faulty lens or something like that. RMA it asap.

  • N97 camera does not work when i open the len cover

    I think the camera softeware has bug. Tthe camera software shows up when all the menu, and when i click i can see the zoom in/out slider but nothing there is no image showing up on the screen. The screen is dark and it looks like the camera sensor does not receive any image from outside. This can be fixed by restarting the phone but it's very annoying. I had to reset like 10 times a day. If i leave the software on it's fine but if i turn off the software (close the lens cover) and turn back on the bug occurs. Anyone has the same issue like me? Do i need to update the firmware? Im on the original firmware.

    it does not happen all the time to me, but sometimes if I open and close it to often, it would happen.
    but I don't need to reset the phone, just close and open the len cover again, and it works.

  • After Effects CC: how to retain Camera Raw's settings when opening the project from a different drive

    I want to open a project from a drive which is different than the original one, but which has exactly the same folder structure and files as the original drive. When opening the project, all files appear as missing because the drive is different. When I replace these missing files for the ones in the new drive, After Affects relinks all media. However, the camera-raw settings that were embedded in such files are lost: After Effects opens the files as no previous camera-raw correction had been done. Is there a way to avoid this?

    What could be in my project that makes it unable to open?

  • My iPod 4th gen back camera won't work, this is the first time it's happened, I either get a black screen or the lens Won't open

    My camera is just still or black, this has never happened and I've tried almost everything

    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.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Other uses have had it being a hardware problem.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

    I would have had the phone looked at long before a month of problems.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. You phone is under warranty and someone at an Apple store can help you.

    There is a hardware problem.  Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

    If you think you're insane now, try maintaining those pop up menus.
    As far as I know, these menus have not been updated since FW 8, so 
    they are at least two versions old.
    Save yourself a lot of grief by avoiding those menus. There are many 
    other products on the market which do a much better job of creating 
    and maintaining this type of navigation structure.
    Read this link before you climb any higher on this slippery slope:
    http://apptools.com/rants/jsmenu.php
    There was another blog post by the fellow who originally wrote the pop 
    up menu feature, but I can't seem to locate it. Even he says stay away 
    from them.
    Not the answer you probably want, but I hope it helps, nonetheless.
