It "booted up" once, allowing me to frame an image and place the focus point, then it crashed. Now when I open the Camera app the apps opens, but right into a frozen state. I've power cycled several times with no effect. Ideas? Thanks
Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
i've even tried a full reset of the phone (i.e. wipe all content and restore defaults)
still the camera app freezes about a second after you open it (and then the phone reboots!) - i can only think that the autofocus in the camera module is broken, and when the app cant get it to respond correctly, it crashes.
I guess i will have to return my 20 minutes old phone.
i did a total reset of the phone.. then BEFORE restoring from backup.. i.e. with the phone simply activated through itunes and NOTHING else (no restor from backup - no installation of apps - no settings, no anythign!) - the camera app causes the iphone to reboot everytime it is opened
Yes, I did a full restore and still have the same problem. I may go the local Apple store and see what they think. If I need a new phone, will Apple allow me to keep my current one in order to have a working phone until the new one arrives?
i am currently trying re-flashing O4 onto my phone (i.e. making itunes download OS4 for the iphone 4) as a last ditch effort to see if it really is a hardware fault
I have the same issue when I go into camera app and it blinks the box in the center of the screen, than the screen freezes than phone reboots. I restored to original firmware thinking it was because I restored from my back up 3G iPhone. No success either way. Tried to slide from camera to video and the phone froze up. Could not get it off video. I had camera app in a folder but don't know if that had anything to do with it.
Mine does the same thing. It seems to be mostly when switching from front to back or switching to video. It usually clears after a little while and works again. Any new Ideas? I am going to try to restore again tonight.
