Camera Problems after 2.3 Update

Hi Folks,

My Xperia X10 was updated with 2.3 prior to my receiving it from the wireless team at work. The camera is behaving as if it is not the correct version, or can't be run properly by the phone. The symptoms are:

When the camera app is started, there is a long delay before it actually opens.

When I press any on-screen icon (to change the resolution or scene type, etc...) there will be a long delay between each menu coming up, so long that the error always pops up saying: "Sorry! Activity Camera (in application Camera) is not responding. Force close / Wait. I can click 'wait' and eventually the menu is accessable and I can make my choice.

The main problem is when I try to take a photo. When I first press the picture button half way, it should turn the photo target box green while the proper lighting and focus settings are applied, after which I would push the button all the way and take the picture. In stead, when I press the button (half way or all the way) all icons on the camera go away, and will not come back after the button is no longer depressed. I simply have to quit the camera app from there.

Is there some problem with 2.3 and the camera app? Any suggestions for a fix would be much appreciated.

Best, Jeff

After posting the above I found this thread that explains my exact issue:

There is still not a satisfactory fix, but at least a work-around that allows use of the camera.
