Front camera not working

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem as myself in regards to the front camera not working. All I seem to get is a black screen! I'm not sure if I need to activate it somehow or it's just not working?

Thanks

Ross

Clear data for camera under settings-apps-all and restart.

You could try a software repair:

Same problem here. Happened after I updated to kitkat 4.4.4 tried to clear data and restart, didnt help. Tried software repare didnt fix the problem either! Sony better come with a fix asap, if not i'm jumping ship...

Hi i have the same problem as mentioned above. My front camera is not working. Theres just a black screen. If i take a pic on it, the app gets stuck. I've cleared all data also from camera and mobile sitting. The problem is still there. Can anyone plz suggest a fix or let me know if its related to the new software update and that sony is working on it?
