Xperia mini ST15i ICS camera problem

[goblinsly]

Hey everyone,

I have been using Xperia mini ST15i for 2 years, i had a few problems with it but overall i like the phone a lot.
I have a problem with the camera ever since i upgraded to ICS. Image quality is really bad and also when using 5 MP, thumbnails are messed up. Now i know many have this problem but i havent been able to find a solution yet in all those topics. I just found out that i cant go back to GB without rooting my phone. I no longer have a quaranty but still i would be happy if there was another way. I already tried repairing ( reinstalling ICS ). Soo how did you solve this problem ?

You don't have to root your phone to downgrade

Thank you for your answer,

It is good to know i can downgrade. But before giving up since i tend to not give up, what can i do about the camera while remain on ICS ? I did notice something ... if i leave the camera on "auto", thumbnails are corrupt. If i set on "manual" and turn on camera stabilisation, thumbnails are corrupt again.

Anything will be welcome, even the best settings for the camera, there are many settings like type of sharpening ...

The issue could be a faulty SD card, try with a different SD card
