Camera won't work, sending for repairs

I bought an Xperia Z2 from a friend. The phone is nice and everything was working fine, until one day the camera stopped working. Whenever I open a camera app, even any flashlight app, it either says, "Unfortuantely, the camera has stopped" or "Can't connect to camera." I spoke to Sony customer service and received quick troubleshooting help. Unfortunately, neither updating the software, nor resetting the phone helped. I spoke to customer service again and they've asked me to send in the phone. I do not have a purchase receipt for this phone, so I asked a sony rep and he said it wasn't important and I could just send the phone without a receipt. So, I got the RMA, 82914324801 and I'm shipping the phone today. I hope it gets fixed within the next couple of weeks. 

I checked the forums for repair reviews and thought it would be great if I document my entire repair process right here.

I've spent a lot of money on this device and just for that 20.7MP camera. I also bought the phone based on the fact that it was still under warranty. I also do not wish to get into a "call sony every other day" cycle.

If you have experienced either great or not-so-great customer service please let me know.

What happened to your phone? Did it fix? And from what country you are? Thanks
