My iphone4 camera doesn't want to work

My camera doesn't want to work, the shutter stays frozen and sometimes it does open but all i get is a black screen? I've heard this happens a lot to the iphone 4s but how do i fix or can it even be fixed?

Try closing the Camera app completely and see if it works when you re-open the app: from the home screen (i.e. Not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

If that doesn't work also do a reset: press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why doesn't my iphone4 charge? Ever sins I downloaded a battery saver app from the app store my phone hadn't charge I could leave it over night from 3% and when I wake up in the morning to see if it has charged it's only at 18%.It also turns off when I unplug it and when its in my pocket, I don't know if it turns off because the battery doesn't work anymore or if its because the back of my iPhone is cracked.
  • Which camera is better: An old General Imaging x500 Digital Camera or an iPhone 7 front camera? It looks like an iPhone only offers 7 MP while this camera boasts 16 MP but this camera is so old and looks worse at least on its own screen. I'm confused

  • My video/camera doesn't work on my Iphone 4? I tried everything… Restart. Reset. Restore. Doesn't work. I even restored my iPhone as a new phone and still doesn't work… So I tried to call Apple tech support and because my warranty is expired, they can't send me a new one.So… Is trying to go to a iphone repair centre my only solution?
