Camera not working

[BlitzBerg]

I was taking snapshots with my Xperia Neo V,  when my camera  closed and now when I start the camera app, it says, "Unfortunately, the camera stopped". Using any other apps like Pudding Camera, It says, "Camera Open Error". Please help me as to what exactly should I do?

Edit: My LED flash also does not work.

I got the same problem and tried al the above things and went to the shop where i bought my mobile they said its a s/w updation problem, where there might be few corrupted files :smileysad:.. & suggested me to visit service center.. Could you please let me know how much time it will take to repair this issue. i dont want to give my mobile for long time.

When you reset your phone... It does updates itself for new use.. Just backup the stuff and it should work out for you.. You would have to do all the apps again though!

I had the same problem with my Sony Xperia J....

Sony service center gives answers like water is detected inside mobile ..

One general questions to all:-

Why almost 3/10 mobiles camera is not working? Is the water is really cause??

My mobile was giving the same problem in summer also, there were no chances to get water inside.....

Bad hardware/Bad design...but good excuse....!!
