My camera on my iphone 4 is not working at ALL. I click to open it and it shows the lenses as if it isn't opening. Is this happening to anyone else? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Not a problem here but you might want to restore the phone and see if that helps...Otherwise call Apple Tech.
hold down home and lock button for about 10seconds. maybe helps not sure.
Having the same lame issue. Any ideas on fixing??
Me too.
Erased/Restored the phone. Didn't fix it.
I even restored it to blank, and didn't use a backup. That didn't work either.
My Brothers phone works fine. Mine does not.

Same here.
Haven't restored it yet to see if that works.
Any ideas?

Same thing happens here. I'm trying to restore it right now but who knows. It just freezes and restarts my whole phone.
Restarting, or restoring will NOT fix this.
Also: If I try to use the Camera with an app (like Facebook) it locks up too. THEN the app goes straight to that screen, because it's running in the background. (hooray...multitasking!)

I just got off the phone with Apple... they have no idea what is up with it. I restored my phone without the back up and that did not do anything. They said that they were going to look into the problem and call me back tomorrow 😟
I had Hipstamatic on mine, and opened it before the camera itself. Same issues as above. I deleted the app, restarted a few times, and the camera worked. I opened other camera apps -- Toy Camera, PS Mobile, Quad Cam -- and all was gravy. Thought I just had to "massage" the camera for some odd reason. Reinstalled Hipstamatic and issues are baxxx...
Same problem here. I could switch to the front facing camera for a few hours after I unboxed the phone this afternoon, but now whenever I try to switch to the front camera the app locks up for about 6 seconds and then the camera doesn't work all. I've done resets with data erase and it's still broken. I'm planning on visiting the store in the morning...
"What's all this about?"
Seriously, there's got to be a simple solution. Had it working after it wasn't, then things went awry again.

I gave it a rest last night. Woke up, did a power + unlock restart, and the camera's now fully working again. Not sure why, really.
What method did u use to get it working again NUDavid ?
Same issue for me out of the box. Just the black lenses. I'm hoping there is an easy fix from Apple. I had a face time conversation last night and I could see the other end of the call fine, but her screen just showed up black.
Camera NOT working...HELP?
