Xperia Z1 launching camera app unwittingly

Hello,
sometimes my Xperia Z1 is launching unwittingly camera app. Sometimes it does very often like every 3 seconds. I press home and then it appears again automatically. Sometimes It make once but never expected and bit annoying...
It is happening even though after I lock the display!!
Do anybody have solution? Thank you...

Try to perform a system repair and see if that fixes the issue
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen 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

  • Launch Camera App / Insert Image(s)

    Hello,
    I did some browsing but was not able to find something similar to the question I have.
    I have a client who would like me to build some .PDF form(s) for his construction crews. The objective is to eliminate all the paperwork they currently have (not a problem with fill forms and Reader on their Apple tablets).
    But here is where I run into a problem trying to create what he wants / needs. He wants the the user to have the ability to launch the camera program from within the .PDF form in Reader, snap the photos needed with their tablet, and insert them into the form. While I have found some java script that will allow them to click a "button" in the form and insert a .PDF, they really need the ability to insert the .jpg images taken by the tablet's camera.
    With that said here are my goals:
    Create a button that will launch their camera app allowing them to take photos of the job site
    Insert the photos they take into the form - this can be a blank document page(s) just for the photos
    Save the .PDF form and use a button to send the form. Email is the only option to send a form I believe??
    I am using the latest versions of Adobe CC products (for windows) including Acrobat Pro XI, InDesign, Illustrator etc. to create this job. As I mentioned above, my client will be using Reader on Apple tablets.
    Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your response!
    I have considered an HTML / web based version instead of the .PDF option, but there are often times they do not have internet access, and would be required to save the file(s) to send them once they do have internet access.
    Here is my plan B...
    If I use a standard send form button which launches their email program, they could then attach the photos to the email and send the form and photos together. While this would be a fairly simple solution, they goal of the business owner was to keep this as simple as possible for the crews. Although, I would think that any solution would be better than filling out paper forms in triplicate
    Thoughts on this option, or maybe a more streamlined way of implementing this idea?
    Thank you again

  • Xperia Z1 lag camera app

    I just upgrade my Z1 to lollipop with the latest firmware, but since the first lollipop relased, my default camera app started to get laggy when I move my phone. It doesn't happen in the older version of android, but it does in lollipop. I wonder if you guys have something in common and know how to fix it?

    Hi
    Try to clear the data.
    Settings > apps > all  > Camera > clear data.
    Remember, it's gonna reset every setting you did in your camera app
    If the above doesn't help you, kindly go for a software repair as it would help your phone to get free of glitches and lag and improve performance and user experience.
    Here's how. And do not forget to backup everything before performing a repair
    Update / Repair your phone via PC Companion
    Download PC Companion and install it. Do not connect your phone until you're asked to do so.
    Launch PC Companion > Start Support zone > Start Phone/ Tablet Software update > select Repair my Phone / Tablet > Follow the on-screen instructions it shows.

  • Xperia Z3 Compact camera error when starting from locked screen (symbol lock)

    Hi
    I'm a new owner of Xperia Z3 Compact and I have noticed a problem when launching camera. The app itself works perfectly well but when trying to launch camera from locked phone (screen locked with symbol) it shows only black screen with error message that camera app it unaccessible. After removing lock screen protection both camera symbol on lock screen and dedicated camera button works as intended. Is it supposed to be that way? On my previous phone I could launch camera app without unlocking screen but couldn't access any other parts of the phone. I'd love to have it working the same way here especially with the dedicated camera button.
    Hoping for a fast answer. 
    Regards
    Huma

    You may need to perform a software repair using PC Companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% 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).
    Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

  • Default Camera App Tile Missing and Won't Launch from c:\windows\camera. Also missing from Windows Store to reinstall.

    Hi There,
    I am deploying a custom windows 8.1 enterprise image via SCCM to Surface Tablets in our corporate environment.  We currently are using windows 8 ONLY on surface hardware.
    We only have 4 in the wild but all are having the same issue.  The camera app tile/shortcut is missing from the all applications menu.
    If I try to launch it from the c:\windows\camera folder i receive an error regarding Windows.UI.Xaml.dll as I believe it needs to be  called via the modern environment (not desktop).
    It dose not appear to be a hardware issue as third party camera apps seem to work.
    Also, when i search for the app in windows store it cannot be found.  I can find it when i search the store via IE but when I click on the link to open it in the windows store i am only presented with the stores front page.
    Any advice would be appreciated as my users are keen to use the camera on their surface pro 3's.
    Thanks

    This sounds as though the Camera app has become corrupt in your image. I would attempt to reimage one of the devices with a vanilla environment to see if the issue appears, if not, I would
    evaluate the difference between the Camera app in the vanilla environment and the production environment. Specifically, you may need to ensure that the correct version of Camera is provisioned in the base image.

  • 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.

  • Camera App Won't Launch from Lock Screen after update

    After updating to ios 8 and then 8.1 my camera app will not launch from the lockscreen. When I swipe up on the camera app I see my home screen wallpaper until I press the home button or the lock button.

    Hey morpeo,
    Thanks for the question. Let’s see if we can isolate the issue further. To do so, try restarting/resetting your device:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the issue persists after a restart, let’s see if we can isolate to software or hardware by backing up and restoring your device as new:
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
    If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • Camera app freezes when taking a picture.

    Almost everytime I try to use my iPhone 4 camera, it freezes.  If I'm patient enough for the app to launch, pressing the camera button deosn't seem to snap a picture for up to one minute.  The whole phone locks up until I hear the snap shot.  At one point I thought it was an issue with the GPS tag but even turning that off resulted in the same stalling.  There's nothing more that frustrates me about my iPhone than this.  Does anyone have any idea what the issue could be?

    Unfortunately, your naivete about complex electronic devices has misled you into a common misconception that Problem A = Cause B = Painless, no-effort, Solution C.  It's all magic to you.
    Virtually any problem can have a multitude of causes, if for no other reason that you have incompletely described the total state of the phone.  More broadly, your camera problem is being caused either by corrupted code and or settings, of unknown origin, or a hardware issue.  There is no way anyone determine psychicly.  The only way to find out is the standard troubleshooting steps developted by Apple, and described In the User Guide.
    it's taking more than half a day to put a big bandage on the wound and hope it fixes it.
    Nonsense.  1-2 hours tops for 2 restores.
    This has been a problem with the phone since the day I bought it.  It can occur everyimte I use the camera app for a week then not happen as much for a couple months.  In the past year, I have restarted, reset restored, etc several times and I still have this problem
    You oddly failed to mention any of that in your initial post, and instead endowed us with whining about your frustration level...  You didn't mention doing ANY of the troubleshooting steps you now describe.  Yet another example of entitlement trumping logic.
    The bottom line:  Restore the phone as new (without restoring the backup), if you haven't done so already.  If that doesn't work, you need warranty replacement of the phone.

  • Camera app loses draft when multitasking

    From within the Camera app, if you choose to share a photo using email, begin writing your message, switch to another app (Safari, for instance), then switch back to Camera, you're presented with the camera interface and your draft is gone. You are not given the option to save your draft unless you press the cancel button before switching out of the Camera app.
    This does not occur in the Photos app. If you choose to share a photo using email from the Photos app, switch out, and switch back, you're brought right back to where you were and can freely multitask without losing your draft message.
    Steps to reproduce:
    Launch the Camera app
    Take a photo
    View the photo by clicking the thumbnail in the bottom left
    Click the share button
    Select Mail
    Type a subject
    Press the home button twice and switch to an app besides camera
    Press the home button twice and switch back to Camera
    Result:
    Camera interface to take a new photo is displayed
    Expected:
    Draft message is displayed
    Expected (alternate):
    Camera interface to take a new photo is displayed
    Draft message is stored in Drafts folder
    Workaround:
    Before switching to another app, press Cancel, then select Save Draft
    Instead of switching back to Camera, switch to Mail and find the message in your Drafts folder
    From the iOS Human Interface Guidelines:
    People expect to have ample opportunity to cancel an operation before it begins, and they expect to get a chance to confirm their intention to perform a potentially destructive action. Finally, people expect to be able to gracefully stop an operation that’s underway.
    Multitasking should not be a destructive action.
    If this is behaving as designed, it's not insanely great, it's insanely unintuitive.

    Thanks so much I restored my ipod now it works MUCH better then before and no wierd camera app.

  • Camera App Photo Preview Blurry

    Heres an interesting issue i found on my iPhone 5. If i use the camera app to take a photo, then swipe left to view the photo.  The last taken photo is extemely blurry. Most camera preiews do this then load the clear photo, but thisone stays blurry.  Ifi go into the photos app and view the photo its ok, also if i rotate the screen on the blurry photo it will be clear again. Anyone else having this issue?  It is bothersome asi always swipe left to check the photo i just took. Have tried restarting camera app and hard reset.  I imagine Apple could release a software fix for this?

    Wow I'm surprised no one is talking about this yet. My brother found this happening in his iphone 5 within a matter days of use. He told me about it and now that i just got my iphone 5, i discovered it to be true myself.
    This occurs regardless whether the camera app is launched from the lock screen  or home screen. It seems to happen only when you swipe right from the camera view to get a quick glance at your photos. The last photo will appear blurry when viewed through the swipe method rather than the traditional method of doing so through tapping the box on the lower left . Like Egibbys21 described, rotating the photo will clear it up. However I found that this problem repeatedly happens when a newer photo is taken in the opposite orientation of the last. Also, so long as the blurry view isn't cleared up through rotating the photo like how Egibbys21 described, all last taken photos, regardless of orientation, will appear blurry when viewed through swipe method.
    It is somewhat unfortunate and seems either users don't use the swipe function like they do in windows phone, or those photos have been largely mistaken as truly blurry. I hope others will be able to duplicate this issue and bring this up.
