Hello Guys!!..

I have some experience regarding on my Samsung Galaxy Y...it appears on my camera "ErrorMessageHandler.handlemessage(-1)"..

I Read on some forums on how to fix it,. but i failed to do it...

Some of the forum said to Reformat/Reflash the firmware..etc...Reset setting of the Phone etc.. but i failed to fix...

But some one(technical man) on forums help me to fix it..

Here are the solution on that problem:

1.) He said that no software,firmware are possible reason of that error...
It just a Hardware...
Dis alignment of contact camera from the board can cause of that the error.So, I used to dis assemble my phone hardware...re align the camera on the board,clean,etc...

It Work...I did it.. Repair my phone on my own...

To all experiencing it...Try this method ..I Hope I can help a lot...

Shameless bump:

Hello everyone. I own a Samsung Galaxy Young GT-B5510L. Android version is 2.3.6 (up to date), bought less than 2 years ago (year warranty expired). It has not been unrooted or anything like that. Camera is showing this error when opening it. I've tried suggestions of removing battery for 20 minutes but did not work and I've also tried another one. I've read some posts on the net but it seems that the problem is related to firmware. Does anyone have a clue?

I totally agree with niedemannu. This fault of camera has nothing to do with software and hard reset of phone is just waste of time.

I had faced the problem twice. First i got it done from service center. Second time i just opened the phone and did a firm press of camera and it worked.

Actually the camera is not soldered on the PCB instead it is a press camera. This normally happens with the phone is drop and camera is loosen.

There are six screw on the phone to open and press the camera firm and give a try else you can go deep and disassemble using service manual and again fix it. You can get service manual over google.
