Hi all!
The great camera on my SE K750 suddenly stopped working!
When I slide down the lense cover, it loads the camera screen, and then jumps back to the stanby-screen (Background picture).
If I click on the camera icon in the meny, nothing happends.
Anyone got a clue about this?
I once got the camera working again, but not for long.
Firmware version is: R1A044
Any help would be totaly awsome, as I am on a "roadtrip", and was planning on using the phone as a camera on the trip!
Please post any soultions here, or email me on "tombra(at)gmail.com"
Thanks

I have tryed both restaring the phone and taking the battery out. Still no good. Its been like this for about 24 hours now:(
Dont want to do a master reset as I am out traveling with no ability to make backup!
Maybe a Firmware upgrade will help, but not sure if I will be able to do that before I get home:(

Also, why am I not able to reply to the forum, using the phone (WAP 1 & 2.0)? It lets me type in both Username, Password and Answer, but I am not able to select "post"! I am getting offline now, so its a bit frustrating!

ha ah H AHA HA AH AHA HA H


sorry dude with all the problems with this phone lately I couldn't resist,

I'm guessing it's most likely the cover has a small switch that ticks so the phone knows that the cover is open you might wanna check that, take it to a service center, you also might wany to upgrade the firmware.

Format your memory card. Simple.
The phone is amazing, you guys are just trying to find problems with it.
The issue here is your memory card, not the phone.

tombra i had the same problem, and also when i did eventualyl got the camera running, if you switch to video recording mode, you would hear a buzzing sound and the phone will restart, well thats what happend to me. What i did, was returned my phone cancelled the contract, and wait for something new to come onto the market, or untill se have fixes all the bugs including new bugs that are being noticed in the new filmwear update, i.e gprs problems.

My camera stopped working, as in it loads up but then returns to the menu or start up screen immediately, and when messing around with the phone to try and fix it, master reset, format memory card etc, i went into the service menu and found that the camera part is completely missing. It goes from R1A044 staright to LCD SW versions. Can anyone else who has this problem check as well as i heard in the software forum that people have got theirs working again. Does the camera bit come back for those whos started working again?
