kekx1 — Fri, 25 Apr 2014 15:21:50 GMT

When I try to use my camera app or any other app that uses camera it says that it is not available. Tried to backup and do the factory settings, didnt work. tried turning off and on many times, didnt work. Can someone please help me?

If factory settings reset did not help,try a software repair:

But I think you should get to a sony service:

Do you have enough internal storage?

how about

settings > apps > all > camera > clear data > restart your phone

forgot to mention that i already did software repair too. also that: settings > apps > all > camera > clear data > restart your phone. and yes i have a alot of internal storage free. None of this has worked.

I have visited sony service.
They said this will not covered under warranty.
Why should I pay for this.
There is no physical damage, no water damage so how could they ask me to pay INr 4600/-

Can you please tell me,
Is right if I file a complaint in consumer court.
Or should I talk to the Sony service authority once more.
Please suggest.

I had the same problem, unfortunately there's nothing You can do about it, as I described it here:

http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-L/quot-can-t-connect-to-camera-quot/m-p/701483/highlight/true#M12448

The only solution is to change the phone

Hi zwiesz, I have the same problem.

most of the time, when I tap on Camera icon, I go to a black page with a note of "Error, Camera not available". I hadn't this problem unitl some month after I bought my Xperia L. anyway I discover a temporary solution for it.

I have Battery Doctor app on my device. It saves more using time by closing background oppening apps. whan I run it and the app did its job, so there is, bingo, the camera in working

It seems there are some software bug in this phone, and some apps stop camera working or something like that, anyway you can test this method on your, I hope this be practicable for u, too.

Good Luck

I had exactly the same problem with my xperia L and did as mahmoud suggested. I installed Battery Doctor and it fixed the problem! It has a bug fixer in it. Great!

How does battery doctor help to fix this problem? Same issue with my phone and the service center people said it costs 10K to fix it (basically they want to change the board itself) and no physical damage also to the phone. I don't understand why they can't think that for 10K I can add some more and buy new phone only.....
