Is it just in the Camera App or on every app you try to open (ex. skype)?
Also if possible try to post a screenshot with the problem.

Really strange, I don't believe it's a hardware problem. Try this : on the dialpad type this *#*#7378423#*#* . This opens the service menu in xperia phones. Just go to service test and test the secondary camera. If it works then you should do a factory reset, maybe you messed up something in the system...
It saying this device does not support this function.

I hope it's not a hardware problem. To eliminate the possibility of a software related problem i suggest to flash a .ftf with the Flashtool.
If the problem still persist then its probably hardware related.
It's not that difficult to change the front facing camera in XZ (I have done it my self changing the motherboard - and the cameras are just below that) but that that would compromise the Water-resistance of the phone plus things could go really bad.

It is really weird, if it would be a hardware problem, the camera would show up as a option to activate but it world either crash or not show any image at all (like black screen).
At this point I don't know what to say. Try send it to a repair shop, there seems to be no other alternatives.

This thread is exclusive for Xperia z, if you have any question for your c5 please write in the right section. However flashing a firmware for Sony devices is almost identical for every device, so you can find them in the sticky posts on the cross-device threads.

Hey guys I've a problem with my C6603.
It happend that my phone thinks that there's always a headphone connected to it. You'll think and what? Well, basically when I call someone I have to use the loudspeaker function or otherwise I just can't here through the phone hearspeaker. When I try to listen to music or whatever I can't.
So I know it's a hardware problem, but can't it be created something like a "mod" to let the phone avoid the jack, just disable it by software?
Thanks.

I have same problem as you on my Xperia ZR C5502 5.1.1.I havw read somewhere It is Sony's software problem not hardware.
Have you found any proper solution without any app?
Yeah same here I couldn't do anything about it just using that program https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix
Be aware if you may forgot the settings and while you record a video the sound will be lost
I am on stock .157 not rooted. have no issues on the phone, but after maybe 2-3 days of usage, sensors wouldn't work (accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity). the screen wont turn off during calls , auto rotation wont work. Also in service tests, (*#*#service#*#*) all the values would be blank.
A restart will always fix these but I am still worried if this is a software issue. Any one else facing this issue ?

Try reflashing your FTF and see if it gets fixed. But before doing this, take it to Sony before more disappointment if its under warranty.

Tried doing that, but it gets solved temporary. The sensors don't show after some time.
I have this exact problem not sure which ftf would be my original bought from carphone warehouse
Did you solve this issue???
Did Any one found the solution for the problem yet??
I think I found a solution ... @ebro52
This problem only occurs when I leave the auto rotate off.
For the past few days I have kept the auto rotate on and didn't encounter any issue. After I disabled auto rotate, about 6 hrs later , all sensors stopped working.....
Still the issue is not solved??
I still have the problem. Tried keeping auto rotate on as well. So now moving to a custom rom mostly cm12 or based on it. Wil let you'll know if problem persist.
Ive had the problem on all roms have to reboot to get them working again and all sensors stop at the same time
Is there anyway to get a log and see what stops working and when?
My sensors do not work on reboot as well. They stop and start on there on. I am using sony stock right now. I will root the phone and see if I can have a log. Mean while has any one found a issue Please post.

Slimkat didn't fix my problem at all. Seems the reason of the problem is different for us. Btw is there any app that can reset or recalibrate the sensors?! Is this theory right that the lcd I replaced is none original and caused this problem and replacing an original one will solve the problem?!
Does anyone know where the sensor's are located the only one I've found is on headphone jack
Hi everyone
I'm visitor of xda forum for 6 years, but this is first time that I decided to write or ask something.
I have problem with camera of my Xperia z3+. I can't record hd videos, because when I try to record my phone freeze, and also focus doesn't work when I take photos for near object. I have tried everything in settings, but not success. I have tried also to repair my phone with Xperia companion from PC, and surprisingly it works, but unfortunately only for some days (maybe one week). After that same story. Again doesn't work. Don't ask me to call or to send the phone to Sony company because it doesn't exist in my country. What do you suggest guys? To flash new rom? Lineage? Or other official stock roms, even though I have tried to flash official 7.1.1 US version.
Sorry for my English, and thank you.

did you backup your DRM keys? if not, they are lost forever, that's why your camera have problem focusing, x-reality stops working and so on. flashing new roms will not solve your problem.
you need to flash kernel with DRM fix.
