When did this disappear? Are you using the stock camera app?

I guess you could Factory Reset phone (for a start) which will of course erase phone data completely.

In that case, suggest software repair phone with Update Service. Here's the download link, http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/. Be aware that this will erase phone data completely.

I have the same problem, the icon disspeared from the menu and It never came back. I have format my mobile, update service and the factory reset but still no luck. I thought that by upgrading to Ice cream Sandwich it was going to be fixed, but still no luck!

Please somebody help me!!

i'm not updating my phone to ICS yet,maybe i'll try to update later because my phone is now only displaying black background and white lines,it got an impact,the screen is also cracked up. maybe because of the impact,the front camera option is not available and on any app that use a front camera, it says the front camera is not detected

I don't get the option for the Front camera on the menu. I used *#*#7378423#*#* to test the sensors on my mobile (including the front camera). And it just simply says "This device does not support the option".

It drives me crazy that I was able to skype with friends using the front camera all the time, and now I can't even use it for pictures!
