Xperia arc camera issue

How do I turn on the front camera on my Sony Ericsson Experia arc so that I can take a photo of myself?

Xperia arc does not have front camera.

  • Xperia Z1 camera issue // starts for no reason

    Heeeelp!
    My camera is starting itself continuously for no obvious reason.
    Never had problems or issues with the telephone.
    Tried:
    - on/off
    - reset
    - start without sim
    Nothing seems to help, can anyone assist me on this problem?
    Cheers,
    Wesley

    Can you check if quick launch is enabled in camera settings?

  • Xperia Z1 Camera Issues - over exposing

    Hi; I'm new to the Xperia Z1.  Have always owned Samsung.  Enjoying the Xperia but disappointed in the camera which when you read is supposed to be so awesome.  Every picture I take has a white cloud on the bottom like it's over exposed.  I haven't touched the original settings.  Should I and to what.
    Thank you for any help you can give me.

    You can try to use manual mode and change the resolution,white balance and maybe enable image stabilizer.

    I love the way people say 'im dissapointed with the camera'A) its a phone, not a camera. Its great for snaps, but if you want really good pictures go buy a camera,B) Having a good camera doesnt make you a good photographer. A good photographer can take great pictures with a crappy 3MP camera... Conversly, a crappy photographer takes poor pictures with a great camera.. Pics below have been resized to fit. First pic with Z1 camera...   Pic from DSLR...   

  • Issues in ICS update for Xperia Arc

    I am using Xperia Arc. I have done the ICS update recently and I am totally disappointed with this update. The thing is some features already there in the 2.3.4 version of android is not there in ICS update.
    When long press the power button ‘take screenshot’ option was there in the 2.3.4 but in ICS that option is not there.
    I have seen the beautiful lock screen in ICS forums but it is missing in the ICS update
    Music player is still same like 2.3.4 android version. I was expecting the custom equalizer as like Arc S . but it is not there in Arc ICS update
    Google says recently opened apps will be displayed in the home screen in ICS. But its missing in the my ICS update.
    Google says live and transformation effects are there in ICS but I am not able to see those things in my Xperia Arc after ICS update.
    Kindly let me know is there any solutions for the above issues..
    Thanks

    1. You take screenshot by long pressing power and volume down button (booth at same time) in ICS, thats how google has made it.
    2. What beautiful lockscreen are you talking about? Sony has kept the lockscreen same because thats the lock screen many users are used to.
    3. Yes music player is same. I have an Arc S, the music player is same. The music player with equalizer is in Xperia S not in Arc S.
    4. Google never said any such things. You can see the recently opened apps by LONG PRESSING THE HOME BUTTON and can close them by Swiping it off the screen.
    5. Once again Google didnt say any such thing. If you want to change transision effects and stuff use Apex Launcher instead of Sony's launcher. You can get Apex launcher for free from Play Store.
    Hope i helped. If you have any question ask i'll try to help.

  • Xperia M2 Camera Blurry, No Details (sample images inside)...

    Hey there! Not sure, if this is a lens or software issue, but images which I take with M2 are just awful. Blurred, lack of detail. I also have Xperia Arc, which is a 2+ year old phone, and if I compare images, pictures taken with M2 (8mpix) are just far worse. Any sollution to that, or is it only me lucky again with some faulty Sony phone. In short, should I return my phone back or is there any software sollution incoming?  Greetings!

    Below this text there are 4 examples of what comes out of my M2 camera. I checked with my friend, who has the same phone and also went to the shop and checked with their M2 phone....Those two phones make sharpi pictures, mine is faulty, as simple as that. So a warranty repair on schedule.
    Guhanrocky, I've been dealing with photography for more than 15 years now...It is my humble opinion that I can use a camera no matter to what type of device that photographic sensor is conected to I just got a bad luck with faulty phone and I believe (from some complains) I might not be the only one...    

  • Xperia arc s adb not working after upgrade to ICS

    Hi,
    I have used my Xperia arc s for android development (using eclipse) for a long time without any problems. Then I decided to upgrade my arc to ICS (4.0.4). I installed PC Companion and upgraded with the official software from sony. After the upgrade I can not connect to my arc from eclipse anymore. The device manager in Windows Vista shows a warning on "Sony Ericsson sa0102 ADB Interface Driver" and "Device status: This device cannot start. (Code 10)". This is shown in the device manager before I even connect my arc using USB cable.
    I think the problem occured either when I installed PC Companion, or when I upgraded the phone. I have tried to uninstall PC Companion and reinstall the adb device driver with no luck.

    Since I'm not fully into these kind of issues I'd recommend you to check over at the developer site to be able to get hold of more info.

  • Xperia Arc S wifi problems

    After upgradeing to Android 4.0 i cant connect to my WI-FI (WPA2-PSK). I can see my network, the phones states it gets an IP address and then just right after it goes into somekind of a loop : approves my logon, gets the IP ... then get throwed off and starting all over again. Before trying to logon to the network, it states that the signal is strong, but when in the so called loop, the phone suddenly claims that the signal is bad ?!?!
    - Before the upgrade to Android 4.0, i had no problem whatsoever connecting to my WIFI.
    - Our peripherals in our household, including my wifes XPeria Arc S, which not have been upgradded, hav no problems connecting to our WIFI.
    - I have done a "reset to factory setting" without any luck
    -  Also rebooted my Router, which has the latest firmware (Hawking HWR-54)
    Any ideas??

    any one got problem solution..??

    I have a similar problem since updating my Arc S to ISC.
    My WiFi can no longer connect ot my Intellinet Access Point regardless how many times I changed the Access Point encryption, SSID, password, channel, etc.
    The interesting thing is that when I switched to a N capable Access Point it connected straight away!
    Couple of days ago I used Sony's Software Update Manager to upgrade to the latest LT18i_4.1.B.0.587 and I can attest that is is faster and snappier, but the WiFi problem still presists.
    Another weird thing is that if I have ANT+ service running Before switching on my WiFi and connecting to the Access Point I'll never be able to use my WiFi unless I reboot the phone.
    Now, Being a loyal Sony/Sony Ericsson/Sony user for the past 12 years I have to say that these issues must be ironed out Sony before we dump your phones and go the Samsung way or any other way.

  • Screen colors & Camera Issues

    Hello to Sony Officials
    Previously I was using Xperia Z2, now I buy Z3
    What I notice
    1- Xperia Z2 screen colour output results are better and richer then Xperia Z3. I set same display settings on both devices but Xperia Z2 display colour better.
    If both devices have the same panel then I think Sony should Re Calibrate Display in Next Update for Z3
    2- Camera Result is good in low Light thanks for ISO 12,800 BUT in day light Xperia Z3 put whiter in picture and things are looking white out
    And in Room light the pictures are pinkish, I mean picture have a lot of pink shade in them
    I am using latest Software 23.1.0.A.5.77 with factory reset everything, but still not getting the good result. I can sure you there is not Hardware issue
    It is related to software 
    Please Sony Do something in nest update give us New Camera & Display Calibrations and logarithm.

    Have you unlocked the bootloader on your Z3? (at all, ever)

    Have you guys seen this links? It doesn't seem to be a  hardware/software issue, it's a general phenomenon in mobile cameras with larger sensors.

    thanks

    Hi Bighatz1
    Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    For the camera issue, could you please go into Settings > Apps > scroll across to All > scroll down to Camera > tap Camera > tap Clear data - then test the camera again to see if this has helped.
    In regards to the slowness of the operating system, this could be because there is a lot of data on the device, you could try deleting any apps, photos, videos etc. that you don't need anymore to see if it runs any faster than before.

  • Problem with Xperia Z1 Camera and cannot save to SD card

    I bought kitkat version of Xperia Z1. There are two issues of cameras. 
    1: Cannot save images to SD card. Saving fails 100 percent.
    2: Front camera issues
       2-1 Front camera freezes with black screen. 
       2-2 After test (Dial *#*#7378423#*#*), The result says Camera does not connect to device. 
               Some users are experiencing the same problems. 
    Although I reported these issues, Sony has not replied yet. 
    Probably, after Android updating to Kitkat, those problems appear.

  • MacBook Air 2013 with Mavericks 10.9.1 has Facetime HD Camera issues

    Hi, I've been using a new 2013 MacBook Air with 10.9.1 for the last 3 weeks (I used to have a 2010 Macbook Pro 15 with Mavericks) and the Facetime HD camera is having issues being detected by different applications.
    In my case I mainly use Google Hangouts, Skype, and sometimes Facetime. The problem lies on that the camera sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't.
    I usually reboot the camera with 'sudo killall AppleCameraAssistant' and that makes it work, but it shouldn't be like that.
    Please note that this was not happening with my 2010 MacBook Pro with Mavericks. I changed to this new 2013 MacBook Air only 3 weeks ago. Nevertheless, people that I work with (who use retina macbooks with Mavericks) are not having this issue.
    Last week I had to install a plugin (in chrome) for a new online site similar to Hangouts called BlueJeans. Bluejeans very seldomly recognizes the cam, only when I reboot it with the 'line' above or reboot the machine. The people I work with didn't have any issues, so I suspect this has to do with 2013 MacBook Air's Facetime HD cameras which might be different to the rest, or too new on the market.
    It's as if when I start using it in Hangouts and then hang, later it might not work in Skype, or viceversa.
    If you can help, that'll be great, and I appreciate it. Nevertheless, I feel Apple must take care of this in the next Mavericks update (many people are having camera issues).

    Hi Jal1980
    I had the same pb...
    On my MacBook Pro Mid 2012 I Had a problem with my video on skype, facetime, photoboot....
    I have tried all the solution offered in every forum and never got to a satisfying result. I downgraded to mountain lion from mavericK without result. I reseted the Pram or SMC (I forgot), and other things, I played with the plugin /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/, I tried several version of skype.... NONE of this solution worked....
    Until that day a friend came to my place and installed AppleJack for Mac, a free software (http://download.cnet.com/AppleJack/3000-2094_4-40293.html) that totally solved this issue amongst others...
    Here is the full page of the program http://applejack.sourceforge.net/man.html
    And here quick instructions on how to use the program. Have fun!
    Restart your computer. After you hear the startup chime, press and hold down the
      Cmd and s keys together (this will put you in single user mode). You should soon get a Terminal-type screen with a dramatic garble of indecipherable messages and a shell prompt that looks something like [root#]
    2. Now, type applejack at the prompt. (If you’ve installed applejack manually, or have not created an alias to applejack for the root user, you may have to enter the full path to the script at the prompt.) You will be guided through a series of steps that will repair your drive and delete possibly corrupted files. Options are selected by typing the number corresponding to the task you want to perform, and then hitting the return key. For example, when you see a few different options, like this:
    [1] Option One [2] Do something else [3] Another task [4] A useful task
    From time to time, in interactive mode, you will be asked to answer yes or no to a question. To answer yes, type y and hit the return key. To answer no, type n and hit the return key.
    An advantage of using the interactive mode instead of auto mode is that you are given options for also cleaning out user-level caches and preference files. If you would like to clean out your main admin user caches, for example, you will need to use interactive mode.
    3. Auto mode: If you want to leave
      applejack to do it’s own thing, just choose option [a] when the script starts. You can also start right up in auto mode by typing: applejack auto at the prompt. applejack will run through all the basic cleanup tasks in order. Alternatively, you can also type applejack auto restart which will tell applejack to do the cleanup tasks and then automatically restart your computer. Other options are: applejack auto shutdown which tells AppleJack to shut down the computer after running its tasks, or applejack AUTO shutdown which tells AppleJack to run automatically in "deep cleaning" mode (see above) and then shut down.
    I hope this helps. It completely solved my issue.

  • Retina MBP Camera Issue?

    I purchased a 13" Macbook Pro with Retina Display around Christmas time in 2012, and right when I opened it up I noticed the camera was pretty bad. I searched online and found that others were having similar issues or it could've just been the lighting. Early January or a little after Christmas (I don't remember exactly when) I took my computer to the apple store in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania and they told me it was "just fine." They looked at the camera and compared it to others in the store and said it was okay. This summer, a family member of mine purchased the 2013 13" Macbook Air and I noticed that the camera quality was very good and clear, especially compared to mine. The camera is slow to respond to movement, and has a low frame rate. The picture also just looks pretty bad and pixelated. Also, when I skype with a friend of mine I notice her camera quality looks much better than mine, and she is on a 2010 Macbook Pro. I paid around $1700 for this computer so I should be getting one that works perfectly fine. Is there anything I can do to fix the camera issue or is there any chance of getting it replaced by Apple? What makes me angry is the fact that the Apple Store told me it was fine when it clearly isn't.

    Go to another apple store. Also tell them, if it looks fine in the store, take it into a darker room. These camera's have differen't ISO's and yours could be "fine" in the clear day light but may not be when it's sensor doesn't have enough light. This can be due to a number of factors. But they have to fix it because it's under a year old. You just got to find a way to prove it.
    You need to find the situation where it looks at it's worse and see how the lighting is and show them that. If you hold shift command and 3 at the same time it'll take a screen shot of your camera. That makes a picture of it which you can show also.
    There are different camera's in different year's models also though. For example, my thunderbolt display camera is much better than the camera on my MacBook pro, they are both from 2012.

  • S205 Camera issue

    Have a  S205 (win 7) a couple of days, but can't get the webcam to work.
    None of the software like Youcam/Skype/Lenovo Veriface etc finds the camera.
    I can enable/disable the camera using Fn/Esc and when I do so, it appears/disappears as it should under "device manager".
    There are no applications running in task manager.
    There is another forum user, having camera issues too, but the problem there seems to be "unknown harware".
    My hardware seems fine in control panel, and shows "Lenovo Easycam" as working fine.
    Any ideas ?
