Hi @OwaisK I suggest you to first run a backup of the device information like this:
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/Backup-amp-Transfer/m-p/407253#U407253
Try performing a system repair using PC Companion:
http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
This will factory reset your phone and erase all data. You might need tocharge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 80% battery. Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device). Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process. If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose
Windows 7 or XP.
I hope can be useful.
I'm at disposal for any question.
Best Regards,

  • Macbook Air 13" Camera stops working after a few hours. Needs Restart to be functioning again. How do I fix this?

    Hello!
    The camera stops working. Not detected by any program (Facetime, Skype, Hangouts, Zoom). This happens usually after a few hours of work or after the computer sleeps. To make the webcam function again I need to restart.
    Any suggestions?

    Why does that seem likely to be a hardware issue? How did you come to that conclusion? Do you know something about this issue that indicates that? (I realise that this might sound short and rude - I am not trying to be rude here - just to understand) My thought is that conventional troubleshooting would say that this is a software issue because it is fixed with a restart.
    I also have this problem. The camera quits working after some time - I have not been able to make it stop working. Sometimes it is after I suspend the computer (close the lid) other times it still works.
    All I know is that intermittently my camera stops working and it is a big pain to have to reboot whenever I am going have a video chat.
    Anyone got any solutions, I'm not covered by applecare so would rather try and fix it myself if possible?

  • Web camera not working after sowtware update

    HI, there
    My macbook's  (core duo)camera not working after installing show leopard, can you advice if I need some other updates or anything to make it work?

        Hi purduejatt,  I apologize for the delayed response as I understand how important it is to have a working camera!  I would suggest clearing the data in the Camera application.  Press Menu>Settings>Application Manager>All>Camera>Clear data.  Please keep me updated on the status as I would be more than happy to provide additional support.

  • HT2090 External iSight camera quit working after upgrade.

    My external iSight camera quite working after OS upgrade. It appears the Firewire port is dead. Camera doesn't turn on, no green light. The camera is not recognized by any software.

    Restart your Mac and troubleshoot using http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 suggestions.
    Be sure to test more than one Apple app in more than one user account.  Do NOT use the "Guest" account for this test.  If you do not have more than one user account for the testing, create a new one now.  (A "Standard" account is all you need for testing.)
    If your trouble persists, when you post back here tell us:
       (1) what version of OS X you use.
            (You can find this with your Mac's  > About This Mac menu command.)
       (2) Whether the "upgrade" you mean was an OS X upgrade, an iOS upgrade, or both,
       (3) whether your external iSight works with Apple apps like Photo Booth, iMovie, etc.
            If not, confirm that the symptoms are EXACTLY the same in every user account.
    We will offer more specific suggestions based on the details you provide in your response.

  • Rear camera stopped working after iOS 7.1.2 update- iPhone 5

    My rear camera is not working after I did 7.1.2 software update this morning. I see a blank screen when I click the camera app.

    So my camera was fine until yesterday and pressing on the lens did not work so I went back to looking for solutions:
    http://www.cydiaios7.com/back-camera-not-working-after-ios-7-update-solution.htm l
    The article is from last year (IOS 7), but solution 1 worked for me. Here are all the solutions from the link:
    Solution 1
    Hold the Sleep button until you see the Slide to Power Off slider
    Slide it and then immediately hold down the Sleep button again until you see the Apple logo
    Solution 2
    Open your Settings app
    Tap General
    Tap Reset
    Tap Reset All Settings
    While you won’t lose any of your data you will have to re-enter all of your passwords and personal settings again
    Solution 3
    Hold the Sleep and Home button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears
    Let go of both buttons at the same time and let your iOS device boot up as normal
    Solution 4
    Try a different camera app instead of the stock one – downloadCamera Awesome, free of charge, from the App store
    Install and both cameras should work properly.

  • Video (Camera) stops working after a few seconds (Windows XP)

    On starting a video call on Skype, the person I am connecting with can see me in the video.  I cannot see them - only a still picture.  Then within a few seconds the camera stops working, and a line appears through the camera icon.   Skype suggests that there is another application using the camera - but there is no other program using the camera. The camera remains unusable until I quit Skype and restart it... but once again it will only display my video for 4 or 5 seconds. The camera is a fairly new Logitech HD webcam C525, and the computer is running Windows XP.  Skype reports that it is the latest version of the program. Any help gratefully received! 

    Hi again
    You said you have three buttons on the slide with two of them
    configured for "No action"? Why? What is their purpose if you are
    doing nothing when they are clicked?
    You also said the buttons aren't pausing. If the buttons
    aren't pausing the slide, it is probably simply playing and ending.
    Sounds like you are expecting the slide to pause, so I'm confused
    as to why you removed the pause action from the buttons.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Rear camera stopped working after iOS 7.0.2 update on iPhone 5. Why?

    I just bought my iPhone 5 two days ago and it was running iOS 6.1.3. Camera was working perfectly and just after the update, I took like 2 pictures, and at first when trying to take a picture, almost half of my screen was in pink. After few attempts it just showed a black screen and app just freezes. Not only on camera app, buy on other related photo apps. Really wanted to know what's happening.

    Hi there PompasJr,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Camera isn't functioning
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

  • Camera not working after update ios5

    My son has the 3gs iphone. After updating to new ios5 a few weeks ago, his camera stopped working. It will take a picture but it shows as a blank photo and he lost all the pictures he had on the phone as well. He just got the phone the end of Sept so he had no other back up or restore at the time of the update.
    We tried to restore to original setting and has not worked. Any suggestions?

    You might be out of luck... PlayBook support officially ended a couple months ago if I recall...
    BUT, try anyway. Previous issues with this very same grey bar camera issue were fixed free of charge with a RMA number from BlackBerry.

  • IPhone 5 camera not working after iOS7.2

    after updating my phone to the 2nd iOS7, a week or so later my camera has completely stopped working. After looking all over these discussion pages I've tried EVERYTHING except erasing the phone & restoring it. other than that, NOHTING has worked!!! I've read where this is a "hardware" issue? I don't know for sure. My flashlight is also not working at all!! I want to take it to the iPhone store, but my screen has 2 small cracks at the top. taking it "out of warranty" so I have read. and that it will be aroud $230 for a new one, cheaper than what I have paid, YES! but... is that a set price?? or do they have certain prices for certain damages? I just need some answers!!!!

    I had the same problem it's definitely a software issue because the camera would sometimes work in camera apps but now I could not switch cameras at all.
    I may have found a solution of course I probably won't get credit for thanks to Apple.
    I believe the problem arises from a bug when the camera is used in lock mode, try restarting your phone with the home and power button. Then open your camera in locked mode and set the flash to auto. Maybe take a few pictures, switch the camera back and fourth, turn HDR on and off, but make sure the flash is set to auto before you unlock the phone. Heck even try playing with the flashlight.
    After I did this in locked mode to my surprise my camera and flashlight are now fully functional after I have unlocked it with the password. I'm not to sure what triggered this bug but when I first got iOS 7 and played with my phone some how I unlocked the lock screen without putting in a password. Just by using the camera and the notification and control Center, I unlocked the phone which might of triggered the bug.

  • Isight camera not working after the last update

    After reboot of the last OS update
    Isight camera not working...
    i've tried photobooth, ichat, skype and it doesn't show up anywhere. in fact, when i go to system profiler, it doesn't show isight under USB connections at all.
    just to give you a recap of what i've tried so far:
    * restarting (obviously)
    * resetting PRAM/SMC (by booting it the way it was specified in the isight troubleshooting thing)
    * just shutting down my computer and taking the battery out for several hours
    any Help pls
    because i mast to use it as soon as possible in a conference

    *A few suggestions.........*
    Try running repair permissions from your HD and afterwards run +repair disk+ from your software install DVD.
    my isight camera is not working-not recognized with photo booth or ichat
    To fix your iSight, shut down computer. Reboot in safe mode (press power button and then hold shift key down). After computer boots, restart again. Hopefully, your iSight will start working again.

  • ISight Camera not working after Leopard install

    On my 1st gen Intel 20" iMac, after the Leopard upgrade -- which went very smoothly -- my iSight camera no longer works. I have tried it in Photo Booth and iChat Video and it is the same in each, so it is the camera, apparently, not the application using it.
    In the self-viewing screen on my iMac, I see myself for just a second or so, then I fade out quickly and there is nothing to see but black. If I shine a desk lamp in my face, then I can just barely see the outline of my image but the picture is mostly black. It seems like an exposure problem: the camera seems to adjust, shutting down as though I am very brightly lit but since I am not, it produces only a black picture.
    I also have a 1st gen Intel white MacBook that I have also upgraded to Leopard. The iSight camera seems to work just fine on that computer. I tried out the video in Photo Booth and it worked great.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I too am having the same problem, and I'm using the old school iSight camera and immediately after installing Leopard, it won't work. I can't even power up the camera. It will power up for about 3 seconds then power down as fast as the little green light came on. It was fine about an hour before the 10.5 install. I powered down and unplugged everything for about 10 mins. then plugged it all back in, and still not working. So I am back to the drawing board trying to sort this out. If anyone has anymore thoughts on this, pls. chime in. All the suggestions seem to work for you folks after a little tweak. I even booted into OF mode and reset-nvram and reset-all for kicks to give it an even fresher start.
    thanks!

  • Front and back cameras stopped working after IOS 8 update

    My front and back cameras both stopped working after i updated my phone to the IOS 8 software. Does anyone know why this would happen or any way of fixing it?

    Hi VictoriaViking,
    Not sure why your cameras stopped working with the update, or what the exact symptom is (black screen, no response...), but please check out the Camera troubleshooting section of this article.  (I know some don't apply to your issue.)
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.

    Take care,
