Xperia Z1 Camera App problem

Hello,
Four days ago I bought my Xperia Z1, and today I decided to test it underwater.
First thing that frustrated me was that video would just stop recording by itself and it would enter random aplications, or when I press shutter button, it would exit the camera app, and such things, but I thought that it was just reaction on water and that it was normal. Later my Xperia really went wild, it constantly opens and closes the camera app, without even me touching it. Phone just stands there on the table and camera app opens and closes. When I enter other apps, camera just pops up no matter what.
I tried a lot of things, even reseting back to factory setting, no use, so I just shut it down.
It's really frustrating since I bougth that phone primarily because of it's high resolution camera, and because it's waterproof, which obviously failed the first test.
P.S. Flaps were firmly closed, I checked multiple times.

You have touch block app,you can find it to block touchscreen while recording for example.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien

  • I need advice on my camera app problem

    Hi...
    I have been suffering with this camera app problem for the last month and a half of having my iPhone 4S. What happens is that the camera is either working fine and I am able to use it for a short while before it completely shuts down with a purple screen, which results to a black screen and then one day I heard this funny click noise almost like the shutter in the camera was going off at the back.
    Now what I am left with is I can not use my camera at all or I can use it for like 5mins before it has a "melt" down.
    I asked for advice about a month ago and was told to restart the phone. Back up my phone and restore my software. Well I have now done that twice and that hasn't made a difference.
    My phone is only 5months old and I haven't dropped it or anything because most of the time it's on a table or in my hand bag.
    So my service provider that I have my contract with has said that they can send it in for repair or they can send it in for testing and see if they can find the fault and if not then they will replace my phone with the iPhone 5 with a pay in difference.
    So help me which option is the better one to go for with this problem???
    Because I am a photographer and I love having a camera and if I don't have my camera on my I resort to my iPhone.
    So HELP please.

    thanks very much, that's worked

  • Nokia Pro Camera App Problems

    I am on EE and finally got the Pro Cam App last night when I got the Amber Update for my Lumia 920. I have two problems with it:
    1) Everytime I take a picture, the image I've taken is displayed on the screen and doesn't go away, I have to return to the camera. This is quite a annoying if I'm taking a series of images.
    2) This is a real deal breaker - everytime I take a picture it looks great then seconds later a yellowish hue is applied and the whole image is softened. It takes great vibrant pictures and then ruins them with some awful image processing after the picture has been taken! Is this happening to everyone else?

    As 808PV no longer manufactured and Symbian in "maintenance mode" it ain't going to happen.

  • Camera app problem after updating to 8.0.2

    FFacing hanging up of the cameri app while opening through locked screen and even through normal way
    wwhat to do

    Hello there Ankushrohit4,
    It sounds like your Camera app is not opening correctly when you launch it from the lock screen. I would start by quitting all the running apps:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it. 
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • I'm desperate. Camera app problems on iPhone 5s, please help!!!

    Hi, I don't have option to switch in between flash modes (on, off, auto) or switch to front camera. I can only switch in between slo mo, video, camera etc however no other option available. I'm stuck on flash on and back camera. No option to switch them not there. just blank screen. I'm so furious. Can't find anything in settings or online. Is it my phone or am I doing something wrong. Please help. I'm desperate.
    Thanks

    Try some basic troubleshooting.
    Kill the Camera app. While on the Home screen double-press the HOME button, then scroll to the right if necessary to find the Camera app. When you find it flick the screen image up with your finger.
    Reset the phone after completing step 1. by holding HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears.
    If the camera now works, you are done. If it does not go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset all settings. Then check it again.
    Go to Settings/General/Restrictions. If you do not have to enter a passcode don't do anything further with it. If you do then enter the passcode and see if there is a restriction on changing settings.
    Still no joy? Connect the phone to iTunes and Restore it.

  • Xperia Multi-Camera App

    Why is the connection between my Z3C & Z2 tablet so flak? It only seems to work randomly & ends up with either device just beeping, or me <bleeping>at them.
    Both devices running 4.4.4 & only seems to work if both are already in the Camera app & set to Multi-Camera mode. And on the same wifi connection & the right phase of the moon ... or something. It seems a lot of work for not very much reward.

    That is exactly how it is supposed to work. Not necessarily the phase of the moon. But everything else is right on.

  • I get a black screen on the camera app on my iPod touch? Is there a solution? Resetting only helped for a few days, problem comes back.

    I get a black screen on the camera app on my iPod touch? Is there a solution? Resetting only helped for a few days, the problem comes back.
    Camera works, with the side buttons it takes pictures.
    Although I'm not able to see on the screen.
    Mike

    First try a restore from backup
    If problem still occurs try a restore to factory defaults/new Pod.
    If still occurs likely a hardware problem and an appoitment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    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.

  • The 'Swipe to Camera app icon' function is not working.  I swipe across but the camera app doesn't start up at all.  Does anyone else have this problem?  Can it be fixed?

    You don't swipe but actually press, hold and push up.

  • Hello guys i face a problem when i upgrade from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5.1.1  .when i upgrade i don' t found the camera app from the built in apps.when i try to install from the app store i don't  found the correct camera app .please help me .

    hello guys i face a problem when i upgrade from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5.1.1 on ipad 3 .when i upgrade i don' t found the camera app from the built in apps.when i try to install from the app store i don't  found the correct camera app .please help me .please give any suitable link where i find the correct camera app

    It's a built-in app, so it can't be deleted nor downloaded from the store. If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Camera being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
