Default Camera not working after os2

Anyone having issue with the camera app after os2 upgrade? I don't get any video when I start up the camera app. I don't ever use the camera, but I'd still like it to work.

I either get a bunch of grey bars or a completely black screen. I've done a security wipe and rebooted several times and that's all I get.

Are you trying to take Video or take a pic? let me know and I will check mine.I know my camera works because I took a couple of pics.
I just took a video and it worked OK.
when you click on the camera app do you get a screen showing a camera symbol and a camera video symbol on the right side of screen?

no problems here with both camera and video capture, switching is fast too.
screen stays black all the time? for how long or just stays black?

Your PB isn't in a case is it? Anything blocking the lens?

My camera works well after 2.0.

My camera is working fine after the upgrade - both photo and video works. Have you tried switching between the rear-facing & front-facing cameras as well?

The button to reverse lens isn't visible. I might try reloading the o's.

I've done several security wipes and reloads of the OS and it continues to do the same thing. I had no issues when I was on the 1.0 OS. I started getting intermittent issues when I loaded the OS2 beta. Now it's completely screwed up.

Have you tried restarting your PB? A couple of times this happened to me after OS 2.0 upgrade. Definitely a new problem since I was using the Camera regularly before, even on OS 2.0 beta.

I did another security wipe and reload and it was a little different this time. When I did it at work yesterday it loaded 69 components and wen I was done I had no wallpaper, demo video or music. Last night at home it loaded 1 component and when I was done I had the default wallpapers, video, and music. The camera still didn't work though. I did several reboots and this morning, my camera is functional again.

I hope this helps somebody else who was having issues.
