N950 camera problem

Hello

I am having a problem with the camera after the last update.
It doesn't work any more. I get a message "the camera is not responding , try again or restart the device if problem continues" Does anyone has the same problem ?
Any help?

Thanks

Re: N950 camera problem

I tried mine just for you and it still works

Re: N950 camera problem

Good news :)
I have "the camera is not responding" too (2days ago) , so looks like sofware problem rather than hardware. But may be its not only firmware OTA update, but some application. Then I install some prog from ovistore (e.g. Talking Cat) its says "must remove conflicting packet" ... So I think its remove something for camera work. Did you see something like this?

Code:

# camera-ui 

Using the meego graphics system

libomap3camd 1.126

libomap3camd: Built against `upstream' media api.

Setting camera pipeline to running state failed. 

Camera pipeline error:  "Internal GStreamer error: negotiation problem.  Please file a bug at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GStreamer." , "camerabingeneral.c(61): gst_camerabin_add_element (): /GstCameraBin:QCameraCameraBin:

linking capsfilter3 failed" , 7

Re: N950 camera problem

Or may be any application installed via Ovi store after the last OTA update..
P.S. and maybe specifically apps using audio engine (gstreamer etc.)

Re: N950 camera problem

New messages after install --reinstall few packages:

Code:

# camera-ui 

Using the meego graphics system

MApplicationService: registerService() registering failed 

MApplicationService: Calling launch() in other application with service : "com.nokia.maemo.CameraService"

Re: N950 camera problem

Of course reflashing must help.. But want to fix without flashing :)

Re: N950 camera problem

ever facing that problem too, restarting device solve it

Re: N950 camera problem

Camera FIX N9/N950

Activation of Developer mode to Access Terminal
Go to Settings -> Security -> Developer mode and set it on (it will give a warning to you and notice that it will reboot after setting developer mode on) just click yes and yes to the issued warnings.
After reboot you'll have Terminal in the apps-menu screen, click it
Now you should have a terminal in front of you ~$ and a square pointing at awaiting input from you and your virtual keyboard popped open

Enter the following piece of code on Terminal

devel-su -

It will prompt for password - enter

rootme

It will show you the following lines:

BusyBox v1.19.0.git (MeeGo 3:1.19-8+0m6) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

mesg: Operation not permitted
RM696-34-1_PR_001:~#
Now enter

reboot -u

And you're done

Now you can go and deselect the developer-mode after these steps and the final reboot, and voila your Nokia N950's camera is alive again!

As already stated in my previous post this does not work for me.
