I just received this camera and was wondering something. You know the button you click too view the pictures after you take the pictures? I'm not talking about the power button. I am talking about the button with the arrow like inside a square. I am wondering if any of you have noticed this. I clicked it a second time and it turns on the camera. I thought by clicking it a second time, it would allow the screen too go blank, meaning I am done previewing the pictures. Instead, as I said, it turns on the camera when you click it a second time. I am wondering if this happens too anyone else?

Same problem here....anyone have any luck with getting a new camera or getting theirs fixed by Polaroid??? I also don't have a receipt. Camera was a gift for Christmas.

Comment by martinpepsi, posted on Jul 20, 2008

my camera does the same thing.the camera beeps three times and turns off,then the lens got stuck out and is slanted.lucky i still have the reciept and box it came in.only had this camera 2 months .happend on week of my daughters graduation.i think polaroid should recall and assist people with this known problem and replace these cameras or refund at purchase price. this is unacceptable for the average consumer.

polaroid i834 lens stays out, try to turn on, beeps 3 times, screen turns on for a second then shuts down. new batteries used nothing works!! How do you fix it, I know it has to be something simple.

In addition, I noticed if I have the camera on preview picture mode, if I click the scn button, it turns on the camera fully, meaning the lens will come out and the camera will turn on as if I did it normally when pressing the regular power on button. Does this happen too anyone else?

Hi all, I dropped my i832 and called polaroid and they now have an out of warranty replacment program and we're very helpful when my camera broke in June. Same problem with the lens not going back in and all the beeping. For $75 they sent me a refurb. camera with a limited warranty, but at least now I have a camera back. Whole transaction from talking with customer swervice to getting "new" camera was about 10 days. Hope it helps?

I called Polaroid and they took down my information, but I too do not have the receipt (it was a gift). It dawned on me that they could probably see that it was still within the 1-year warranty if they looked up the serial number. However, they said while true, they still needed proof of purchase/receipt with the store name, date, and line item of the camera. I told them I was not the only one with this issue. Maybe if others call and document their complaints they will issue a recall or else a solution for those of us who don't have the receipt. Polaroid's number is: 1-877-388-3779 (M-F 10a-7p Eastern)

Help! I love the camera, and can't be with out it!

Comment by AaronJ9710, posted on Apr 20, 2008

Same issue, no 3 beeps. Turn camera on, lens pops in, then returns to the out position and powers down.

I can attach the USB Cable and get some control of the device, but as soon as I return to normal, the isse reappears.

Comment by Guest, posted on Apr 18, 2008

Having the same problem as some others. My daughter was using the video feature of her Polaroid i834 which we knew would drain the battery quickly. It stopped and shut off when the lens was out. We took the batteries and left them out for a few minutes and put them back in. It turned on and within a couple of seconds made the 3 beeps (sounds similar to our smoke detector, but much quieter) and turned off. We recharged batteries and it is doing the same thing. It is very frustrating when a product stops working right in less than 6 months!

Comment by nancy216, posted on Apr 10, 2008

Same problem. Camera turns off immediately after 3 beeps. Changed batteries but still have the same problem.
