Cant access camera roll under ALBUMS

When looking under Albums I see the Camera Roll heading under Album Title Bar in the background but cannot access it. I can only access the few pictures in the Photo Library or other albums. TO get to the camera roll now I must go to the actual camera.
Something has happened. Anyone know how to fix this back to normal?

have version 10.2.1 3gs

dell, Windows XP

Figured it out. Double click till you see the photos icon on the bottom of the screen, the bar that shows items that are open. Then hold down the Photo icon till a little red dot and white line appears. Then delete it. I then resynched. All worked. I might not have had to resynched. Anyway, it is now fixed.

This is not being explained correctly. Is not deleting the icon, is stopping from running is the background. Double click your home bottom to see the apps that are running in the background. When the apps appears, press anywhere on the screen till you see the apps icons wiggling just as you would when deleting an app. Click on the PHOTOS album to close the app. Once you open the PHOTOS app again, the ALBUMS bar should be on top of whatever albums you have.

Had the same problem. Thanks for the solution davidpjr. I did not need to restart my phone or sync it after removing Photos from the list of running programs. Back to normal and the Camera Roll is accessible now.

As far as I'm concerned, restarting the application is not a fix, it's a band-aid solution.

For those of you interested, I went to the local Genius Bar in Sydney Australia, and was informed that the fault is caused by a file that I transferred onto the phone. Which they couldn't locate, but they told me if I restore the handset, it would work fine provided I didn't sync any files or contacts.

Can you believe this ****? And they have the nerve to stand infront of a sign that says 'Genius'.

I think I'll be jumping ship back to WinPho7 once HTC release a personal hotspot app for it.

I had a problem too with iphone 4 and version 4.3. Here is the camera Roll tucks under the title bar. Only solution so far to reboot and easiest one is to kill the running program i.e. Double click on Home button (when unlocked position) > Hold finger on of the running program at the bottom until you see delete icon (red with white line) > then click on this icon to delete/kill the photo album.

But this seems to be right solution. apple has to fix this...Any ideas?
