Has anyone had this problem here, i tried searching the forums but no answers only people with similar questions. Well i dont really know how or why it happened, i never dropped my phone and take good care of it, but i usually am use to upgrading and downgrading the phone back and forth with wm6.0 roms..specifically with Ivans V3,4,5 and 6. I dont think its a driver or software issue since i even tried downgrading to WM5 but still the problem persists. When i tap on the camera icon or click the camera button the Display goes black for like 3 seconds then the camera application starts but i dnt see anything, i thought that maybe it was a glitch in the camera application so i installed Cool Camera but the problem was still there so if anyone knows whats gone wrong with the phone id apprecate it if you can tell me how to fix it and what needs to be done.

Same issue. And it takes a really long time for the camera application to start.

Hi all,

Sounds like a driver error to me.

What Rom are you all using?

Can any of you get KITL output whilst trying to initialise camera and post it here please.


Cheers,

But some guys have mentioned that it could be a driver issue, im confusde...are the drivers stored in the rom along with the OS or some place else?

since you flashed your rom and still the camera didn't work...
it all points to a hardware problem

I opened the phone and checked the camera and it seems well intact and no visible damages, but if i id replace it how much would the camera cost?
