[Q] Camera Not Working - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all, I have recently bought a brand new sony xperia z . I've unlocked it and installed PAC ROM. Then I've put it under water for 5 minutes, after a reboot, the phone didn't turn on. I tried flashing a stock ftf file but it didn't work. I took it to the repair center, there was a hardware issue. After it got repaired, I installed once again PAC ROM. I noticed that I could only open the camera app once because if I open it once again, the phone would reboot. I thought it could the ROM's bug so I reverted to stock but I couldn't even use it for once: once I open the camera app in stock rom, it would directly reboot.
I am afraid that there's a hardware issue, though I am not sure if it's because of the ROM or unlocking the phone because I didn't try the camera app before bricking the phone.
Any Ideas or help?

Can anyone please help me with this issue?

Gyroscope/camera fault

Hi everybody, I have a trmendous issue on my Z. When i try to launch camera app, Z reboots. This is not a problem fo camera app, because I've wiped data and cache, but nothing to do. I enter in secret menu of Z with *#*#7378423#*#*, all tests pass but if I try gyroscope or compass test, smartphone reboots. Any idea to solve the issue? Please help me
ps Phone is out of warranty.
First of all try hard reset , then repair phone with Sony PC suite, finally if you have a lot of time try different ROM, also did you drop the phone?
I have done hard reset, now i flash new firmware. I think that some water has entered into phone But all other things works well. I use secret menu *#*#7378423#*#* and when i test camera, for few seconds, the camera works, then phone reboots. The same occurs also for frontal camera.
Where is located Gyro/Compass in Xperia Z? On main board or are they single moduels?
Gyro/Camera Issue
I have the same issue. Just started after root and unlocking bootloader.
In secret menu it says no gyroscope.
Fix?
Hi everybody
I also have this problem since with my Xperia Z since last year,
On stock firmware or custom based on sony firmware and z's secret menu, loading the camera and gyroscope would always cause reboot.
On AOSP/CM based roms, the camera will load only once, the second time would always cause reboot.
This happens even when i had changed the camera hardware module
But yesterday i decided to try and flashed the latest firmware (C6603_ 1271-2229 10.5.1.A.0.283 R1D _Generic SG.ftf) via flashtool, and the camera works flawlessly.
hope this helps.

Thanks for posting. For everyone else please flash the stock ROM with flashtool before changing any hardware!!!!

Random reboots

Hi. I hate this phone.
After three months since I got it, one day it turned off by itself and never turned on again. I sent it to customer care in the store where it came from, and they changed the battery. The moment I got home, the phone had the same problem. So I tried Sony PCC to repair it. It turned on, I installed some apps and suddendly it turned off again. I suspected it was because I deactivated bravia engine, but I'm not so sure that's the problem. Anyway, I decided to downgrade to Android 4.1 version .254 with root. Now the phone seems to be working. But sometimes it just reboots by itself. It happened once when I was scrolling Facebook, and twice when I was using Chrome. It just reboots and restars like nothing happened.
Is this a Ram problem? I can't put the latest firmware because the phone doesn't work AT ALL with it. What can I do?
Hi. Try to flash 254 fw with flashtool. It could help.
Flash the latest FTF via Flashtool
I have quite similar issue on my Xperia SP (random reboots). I have latest official rom installed via PCC.
Try switching off Stamina Mode and see if it keeps happening. It seems to work in my case.

Random Shutdowns and Reboots?

The other day, my friend gave me his old Xperia T as it had started to act up and eventually stopped turning on entirely. I took it home, downloaded a generic 4.3 ftf and flashed it. Although the phone now boots, it occasionally reboots or just flat out turns off (without warning - the screen just goes black and I have to turn it back on again). I have tried flashing a few different ftfs, and the problem still persists. Does anybody know how I can stop this and finally be able to abandon my Arc S for good?

I'm fairly certain my problem is just with the battery, as I've installed a 4.0.4 ftf,a 4.1.2 ftf and a 4.3 ftf and the problem is consistent on all of them. Once I've bought a new battery, I'll let you know if the problem still persists.

NFC not working on any ROM after root

Hi guys. I am dealing with some serious problems with this Xperia Z1.
First of all my friend gave me the Z1 of some dude. That guy was modifying it - rooting, bootloader and everything - and said that NFC just stopped working. He tried so many roms and different configurations and nothing worked.
Finally he just ended up with returning to stock. And NFC still didn't work.
Then I gave it a try. Same procedure - root, unlock, custom recovery, custom roms, kernels etc.
Nothing.
I've read about renaming the usf folder to usf1 to get the NFC to work.
Nope. Phone just creates his own usf folder after reboot. I deleted that folder multiple times and it always comes back.
Finally I got to a point where I must force shutdown the phone because it just won't shutdown on its own or reboot.
Wifi stopped working on KitKat - on Lollipop the switch just hangs for about 30 seconds and then turns on.
What is also interresting I can't enter the Configuration option in service menu because it hangs and force closes.
Model is Xperia Z1 6902
Help me, please. I have no idea what to do.
Hi,
Seems something is wrong with the device wireless. Since neither the WiFi, nor the NFC is working, my S4 already showed a similar problem and was solved flashing another modem, have you tried flashing another baseband on your Xperia Z1?
All the best,

It turned out that I was flashing firmwares for a wrong model. It's not 6902 but 6903...
Fortunately I got rid of all the problems except the NFC ofcourse.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Can you give me more details about how is the NFC behaving? You press the button and it doesn't turn on? It turns on but it doesn't works? Because since the other wireless features are working I wonder if it's a hardware problem.
All the best,

It's not possible to turn on the switch. But I don't mess with this bullcrap anymore; the guy took back his Z1. Probably it's just a hardware problem. Case closed.
