So this little idiot's camera stopped working the other day. I did exactly NOTHING, no update, no upgrade, just an app installation named camera cartoons. It was in my pocket. Characteristics of the problem are as following:
-When I tap camera, a black screen appears
-Sometimes, by launching camera, camera app starts bud still shows a black screen.
-Some other times, a message appears and says Activity camera stopped working, and gives option for force close or wait
-In every 3 type, if you put the camera near your ear, you would hear a tick tick sound from the camera which I guess is the auto focus or shutter sound.
3 days passed and the camera just launched correctly 2 times. other times were like above. Because of that tick tick sound, i thought it's a software problem, so I tried a Sony companion repair, down grade using falshtool, trying many versions of android, clearing delvik cache, partition cache, master reset, clearing camera cache thousands of times, not a single chance. So I thought it would be hardware problem, right? any other suggestions? why on earth this happened?
