Hi radio: did you get any further with your camera problem? Am asking because it sounds like the same thing as i'm experiencing, or if not, very similar. i've been searching for a while now, but haven't managed to find a solution. i know my camera worked at one point, because i used it for a skype video call. but it doesn't now.
When i try using the MoDaCo launcher, the framing area is just blank (I can't take a screengrab of it - for some reason that doesn't work). Eventually i either get an error message popping up - "unfortunately the gallery has stopped working" or "gallery isn't responding. do you want to close it?" - or the entire screen just goes completely black, other than 3 small grey dots at the bottom. Before this, I can switch between video & photo modes, but it's very, very sluggish and the framing area is always blank. Occasionally the video framing area goes completely white.
Sometimes, but not always, when I start up the MoDaCo camera launcher i get the error message "cannot connect to the camera".
If I try doing a video call in Skype, it fails to launch the video camera.
I can still open the Gallery independently, which shows a couple of other images of mine from G+ and Picasa.
I rooted the device when i first got it, but haven't installed any other roms or tweaked it in any other way. In fact i've done very little with it - i've only installed a handful of apps and I've been working backwards, uninstalling these one-by-one (including Skype), to see if any conflict is resolved but so far nada. I've tried reinstalling the MoDaCo launcher too, but that didn't help either.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be grateful.

I'm going to try sending it back for a swapout/repair... whatever it is they're doing nowadays.
