Camera not working on Sony Ericsson s500i.

When I select the camera function, a warning message appears, stating that "another apllication is running. Close it and restart the camera." However, there are no applications running. I have followed advice to do a master reset, have updated the software via SEUS, but still no joy. Does anyone know what might be wrong and how this problem can be resolved? Please help!

"there are other applications still running"

For this problem i worked around by turning on the camera with the phone slider close. When it says slide the cover, do it and it generally works.

Open up the test menu by pressing right * left left * left * and from the service tests choose the camera,if the camera doesn't work here then it may have become dislodged.It can easyily be reattched to the board by opening up the casing

When i try to use the camera, getting an message stating another application is running, please close the application then try again. No other application is running. Sony Ericsson W580I

this could be one of 2 things either the main camera(2MP) or the vga(video call) is faulty. you need to test the vga camera by going onto the video call mode. if that works then its the 2mp camera.

hope this helps...
any further questions I'll be happy to help.
