[Q] Camera and album crash - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I cleaned off caches and updated system applications in my phone, and now the camera application has dissappeared .
Can someone post the .apk for it, or help me to get it back?

The phone vibrates slightly once, then nothing. Also if I try to run motionshot, it crashes. I tried already updating the fw to 257 and it didn't help.
Edit: I got the camera app back, by going through every camera related application and removing updates to them. Now the camera crashes if I try to launch it...

Try to clear data for album app maybe?

This didn't help, however, I noticed that the album crashes as well. I tried deleting the thumbnails, but that didn't help neither.
So all other camera apps seem to work (Info-eye etc), but the normal camera and album crash. I will try to move my pictures to other folders tomorrow to see if it helps.

Clear data for camera common in settings, I bet you recently changed FW versions

OK, backup any data you want to save and do a software repair using pccompanion (Software repair will wipe data)

Playstore not working

Hi! all. My playstore is not working. When i launch playstore, it doesn't load anything just the dark grey background with the message "No Connection RETRY". When i click retry, the screen just flash white quickly & return to the same screen. I tried to randomly search for an app but nothing comes out. I noticed that the option "My Apps" is also missing. Any idea how to fix this?

Make sure when you launch it you have fully working data connection or wifi.
If it doesn't work, settings> apps >all> Google play store and clear cache and data. And try again.

Uninstall the the play store updates? Or try finding a play store apk and go from there? If not
Then do a full wipe and repair with Sony update service. So odd that only this app is having issues.

Download it from PlayStation website, i did that, and install it by transfering APK file to your phone, than run it.
Of course, before that delete existing app.

A new play store apk was uploaded some where in one of the xda forums two weeks ago. Head over there and see if you can get that one installed. May fix the problem.

Did you disable background data for it? It might complain if that is turned off.
Are you from Belgium?
anyone can offer some help? i had to repair the firmware & install everything all over again to get it to work. Now another xperia Z is having the same issue.

Have you installed any hacking mods installed that are connected to in-app purchases? If so, please remove them!

Titanium Backup Pro - No Convert to User app?

I recently updated my phone to 4.2.2 and I finally legally bought Titanium Backup Pro so i can be updated from time to time.
But for my unpleasant suprise, i can not find "convert to user app" option in Titanium Backup Pro 6.0.5.1. I looked everywhere, and I cant convert Facebook, Maps and other apps..
Any help?
Thank you

Same problem with Xperia Z and 4.2.2: no way to convert system app into user app.
Support contacted and still waiting for answer.

As I see it, some apps can be converted to user app, such as the Camera. Whereas some apps like "Album" cannot.
That's how it is for me.
So there is definitely an issue...
You are lucky, since SOME apps still can be converted... I can't convert any: see pic of "camera" ("convert to user app" should be second from the bottom but doesn't exist/show up anylonger).
I also wrote the developer... Lets see!

Convert to User
I am new to this but found it in TBU Pro 6.3.1 under [Special Features] Create "update.zip" This creates a CWM flashable zip file as a user app.
Hope this helps someone.
Hey, any news about this? I have the same problem, cant find the option to convert any app to user app
Then complain to the developer of TiBU.
The support email is listed on the Play store listing.
You will surely get more help than asking people here that are nothing to do with developing the app.

I have just updated to latest release 6.1.4, there is option to convert to system so but not user app.
I never really used that option I only used convert to system app.
Was it present in version 6.0.4

Unable to open camera during call?

For the first time today my phone gave me this prompt when I tried to open my camera while on a bluetooth call. I also tried it with just the speaker phone and regular call and still got this prompt. I can open it with camerazoom fx btw.. I cleared cache and data in the camera app and did a system wipe of dalvik cache and still no luck.

I believe thats by default. Not sure if its a Samsung thing or what. If you're rooted, Wanam has an option to allow that.

I am rooted and have Wanam installed. But I can assure I have in the past been able to take pictures while on a bluetooth call. I also had a coworker while on a bluetooth call on his note 3 open his camera without issue.Thanks anyway.Will check out Wanam features.

Hmmm. Sounds unusual. Never tried it myself. I figured since there was a Wanam mod for it that it was normal.

That's funny you brought this up. I've noticed on stock Samsung phones sometimes I can't do that either, then on others I can. I know with Wanam Xposed you can enable it though if you want to try that route.

The orioles33 suggested Wanam and I did use it, but it worked before and after root. I'm just trying to figure out why it stopped all of a sudden.

Its a Samsung thing. They put so many stupid restrictions on their phones. Like not being able to use the camera if your battery is low. Fnck you samsung. Let me kill my battery however I want.

Well today I took my phone to an AT&T service center for for call issues and they gave me a new sim and reflashed MJ5 to my phone. I'm bone stock again and my stock camera opens during phone calls. So I think root broke it somehow, maybe, I will reroot with kingo 1.1.8 to see if there is a relation to this situation with root. Thanks all.
Ok, So I rerooted with 1.1.8 and camera now works with calls. This is crazy. Lol

Xperia With Facebook Not Working

Anyone else having issues getting this app to sync/work. I don't mean the regular Facebook app, I'm referring to Xperia With Facebook which is under the accounts to sync section. I can get Xperia with Twitter to work but not Fb, the popup comes up, I click okay, and it goes away but doesn't add it. This sucks because it doesn't let me see FB photos under my albums and doesn't sync fb with my calendar either. Is there a fix for this???

Maybe the latest version give problems like Youtube, try older version or uninstall updates.
Someone at the Sony support forums posted the fix. Install FB messenger then try the Xperia with Facebook thing and it works. I tried it and all is good now.

Sony Album app showing thumbnails also?

Hi all, I noticed that since the last update, the Sony Album app is showing thumbnails as photos.
The thumbnails are very small files and thus very bad quality.
I already deleted the thumbnails several times via root browser but they keep showing up.
Also wipe app data or complete fresh install doesn't solve this.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks in advance!
