Camera problems after update

[Nikster199]

So after the latest update my phone keeps saying camera unavailable, this was very frustrating when I went on holiday as I kept having to close and reopen the camera app to take pictures!! I bought the phone partly because of the camera. It's still not fixed and it affects other apps like snapchat and Instagram.

Did you try settings-apps-all-camera,force stop and clear data?See if the same occurs.

Yeah I saw u say that on another post last night so I tried it and when I went to take a picture a minute ago it just said camera not available

I  have the same behavior. But mostly happens when the phone is turned off and I want to take a picture by waking up the phone via the dedicated camera button. Not sure if it is related to having Stamina and all other power management options on.

sony quietly released a big update for z2 now its camera dosent crashes when recording 4k video over 4 mins and improved touch sensitivity but didnt improve low light pictures but  the question is so many problems in z1 when will those be fixed

I've always had on all the power saving options and never had a problem till after the update

I got this phone thinking it would be good but it's got a lot of problems, I should of just stuck with a iphone or Samsung tbh

I used the SUS tool to reinstall the firmware. It performed the update and does a factory reset. I've set the phone the same way and haven't seen the issue.

I do have to day that there are a few differences in behavior. Ex: when screen rotation on, the home screen now rotates (did not see that before)

I'm going to try that now, I'm just backing up everything first
