Got Camera Problems with iPhone 2.1?
Since upgrading to iPhone firmware 2.1, from time to time my camera preview -- and the pictures themselves -- have taken to breaking apart and re-arranging themselves into something pretty much unusable (though likely to fetch a pretty penny at the snootier, more vacuous galleries, no doubt).
The above picture was of a plain surface, now broken into a patchwork of planes. Happens with faces, people, and just about everything. It's not happening regularly enough, however, that I'm close to considering the nu-cu-lar option -- full on restore.
Anyone else having this problem?

The iPhone is so amazing that it creates its own artwork... what has apple NOT thought of? Apple FTW :]
This has happened to me twice, though never to the artistic effect seen above. In both cases, the next photo came out just fine. It is odd, though.
I've never had that happen... yet. ;)
I have had this problem, but it was on 2.0.2, my wife has also had this problem on 2.1, both are 16 gig 3G's, one black and one white.
This happened to me only once, on the first day that I had my new iPhone 3G (2.0.2 software) and it freaked me out! I was considering taking it back to apple but, fortunately, it only happened the once and it seems fine now with the 2.1 software.
I've had the exact same thing happen with a picture I recently took near Hana, HI. Here is a link to the picture:http://gallery.me.com/dblumberg#100082
happened to me twice yesterday a few hours apart. First times in 2.1
Yep, I have that problem too. If there is a problem with 2.1 I have it!
Hi,
i'm facing this problem too. also, camera got really really slow coming up since 2.1, and photos as well..
what have they done??
I am having this as well on 2.0.2. As much as I love the app store etc, it makes me want to go back to 1.1.4 where everything ran smooth and fast.
It happened to me yesterday for the first time. The next pic was fine.
Yea, I've seen this happen once on my brand new week old phone (came with 2.1 already installed). Don't use the camera too much so I don't know how often it happens.
I haven't had that problem, but like Nadav, my camera takes forever to start up now. I also don't take a lot of pictures, so maybe it just hasn't happened to me yet.
I haven't experienced the problem like the example, have noticed the camera takes a long time to open and the weirdest thing is some how I took a picture of the home screen.
dlester: if you hold the power button and press the home button, you take a picture of whatever's on the screen. If you somehow manage to do this on accident, you'll take a picture of the home screen.
Nope. The camera works fine for me.
I had this problem once pre-2.0.
I like that picture uptere actualy, it my wallpaper on my iPhone now :-D
As others have said above, my phone has never taken a photo like that but I am running 2.1 and my camera application takes ages to start up. Also don't forget how Safari still crashes randomly.
This is happening to lots of people:

Nice!
Once and never again.
Happened to me twice just recently....
I'm experiencing something really weird! I take the pictures and when I switch to the camera roll iPhone shows no pictures. Any suggestions?
hasn't happened to me (yet) (3g,16gb,2.1) but happened to my old iPhone (8gb, 2g, 2.1) on one and only photo
24 i have the same problem, any help?
This has happened several times with my phone. Has apple offered any solutions yet to this one???
Add me to the list. I get this one occasionally. When it happens, it only affects the 1st photo taken after launching the Camera App. Hope they can fix this in 2.2!
yep - just started happening to me too on a first gen iphone with 2.1. just looking around to see if there is some fix, but i guess not. does seem to be the first picture when i launch the camera, but really annoying when i'm just trying to take a quick picture.
Yes! Happens to me on a brand new device I purchased a few days ago with factory installed 2.1. Amusing...
help - I inadvertenly lost my camera icon and i don't know if the function is gone as well
