    Question Nokia 5800 Camera Issue

    Just wondering if anyone has or has had the same issue at what I have.

    In a nutcase, when I turn on the camera application using either the shortcut button, or going through the menu it shows the loading animation but does nothing more. Holding down the middle button shows that it is in fact loaded but by selecting it I cannot load it on screen nor exit the app unless I switch off my phone.

    Various websites show that this is actually not an isolated incident and there is a workabout:

    So i figured out that if i just touch the screen exactly when the nokia shaking hands appear (after turning on the phone), then everything is fine
    from http://forum.dailymobile.se/index.ph....html#msg44096

    However this only works 1 in 5 times I switch off and on my phone (and try the above trick) which can mean I miss that perfect photo or am waiting around for 2 minutes to get the camera working.
    1 in 10 times I can actually get the camera application working the phone freezes on the "processing image" after taking the 1st shot and again I'm back to square 1!

    Other solutions include removing certain applications, removing the memory card, updating the firmware (which I've done from V10 - V11 - V20 - V30 and now V40!!!)

    Now hopefully someone here has a permanent solution before I try a hard reset / return to phone shop for a repair. This I've not tried as there are a lot of files and apps to back up and reinstall for future usage!

    Thanks in advance
    Woohoo now Assistant Manager!

    I've had problems with the Nokia 5800 camera.

    Everything else is working fine. But 9 times out of 10 the picture won't save, I thought about updating the firmware, but it won't go beyond v.30.1 , even though I know version 40 is out and is meant to deal with some of the camera issues. Just hoping that v. 50 might sort my problems out.

    I have V50 on mine and no problems with the camera.

    Try updating to this?

    Only O2 Germany have branded v50 (out of O2 that is...). I am waiting for 3 UK to brand v21 for the N97 (mine is de-branded to Euro 1 so is now technically out of warranty) so I will keep a look out for the 5800 aswell. Will post when/if it available.

    Nokia Servers update once daily at about midnight so that is the best time to check.

    Sorry for double post: O2 UK released their branded version of v50 last night.
    Orange, Voda, Virgin, O2 all have v50 out now for UK users but T-Mobile have only done branded the firmware for the gun-black model since v21 so red/blue T-Mobile handsets will have to be debraned. 3 Have not bothered with ANY new firmware in the last 6 months so Imma give em a ring and tell em to get a move on again (once I even offered to come down to one of their offices and brand it myself!).
