Hi, see if repairing phone software works ....

Here's the download link for Update Service, http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/. Download and install to PC/Laptop, launch it and follow on-screen instructions. Be aware that this will erase phone data completely.

I'm having same the exact problem. and my phone is also around 15 days old. is this a software or hardware problem, sometimes when I open the camera I get a black screen and when I switch to homescreen by home button it says " Camera is not responding"
I get two options Force Close and Wait,

if I press Force Close then camera doesn't work until I restart it.
and sometimes I get Crash errors for Cosmic Flow app and Application Installer.

Check if you have the latest software build in your phone. If yes, do factory reset and then update phone software again. This should work. If not go to sony authorized service centre immediately.

I agree with Anandtapas's advice ....

Hi There,

Anyone got this sort out? By any means mentioned above, whatever factory reset or sony service center. My phone just 5 days old and had the same problem, "Camera not available" or "Camera not responding" from time to time...

This is really embarassing when someone call me on skype and i have to 'force close' it.!!!

Cheers,

Miller

I faced this problem once. I think it was due to Quick Capture. I never used Quick Capture since then. Now my phone is all right.
