galaxy s2 warning camera failed

Just got a "Warning Camera Failed" error when opening my camera app. I had to drop the battery out and put it back in - appears to be.

First, go into Settings, and choose Applications.

From the Applications menu, choose Running Services.

When shown the list of Running services, press the Menu key to show the option Show cached processes.  Select Show cached processes.


Scrolling through the list of cached processes look for the Camera app and select it.

When you select the Camera process you will have the option to Stop it.  Choosing Stop should successfully release the camera hardware.

Please go to Settings
Select Applications / Manage Apps
Select Manage Applications
Select All
Select Camera and/or Android Camera
Select Force Stop and Clear Data
Turn your device off and back on.
Test your camera.

If that did not work, please do a Google services reset:

Please go to Settings
Select Applications
Select Manage Applications
Select All
Select Google Services Framework
Select Clear Data.
Turn your device off and back on.
Test your camera.

1- Uninstall Fring
2- Return to Factory Settings
3- Fully Recharge Phone
4- Take out battery, sim, external sd card, wait for 5 mins and restart
5- Take out external sd card altogether and restart

So far nothing has worked. I haven't dropped or hit the phone anywhere. It hasn't been in temperatures less than 10 degrees celcius or over 25.

I can't think of anything else to do really, other than calling up warranty line. The problem is i'm going on holiday soon and the only reason i wanted to get this phone before my previous contract ended was to be able to use the camera while on holiday and now all my plans have gone down the drain.
