Hello everyone,
I am running iOS 8.3 on iPhone 5c. Just tried to click a pic from the lock screen by swiping up; i could see the scene for a split second and then it went all black. I clicked the volume up button nevertheless and surprisingly it clicked the photo and i unlocked the phone to see it in the camera roll. Also when i tried to access camera having unlocked the phone, I could access it perfectly.
So i locked the phone again and tried the swipe up to access camera and it went blank again....although fully functional if i just click by pressing volume up button not knowing what I'm shooting.
I also have an iPod touch 5th gen running the same iOS 8.3. I just accessed camera from lock screen on it using the swipe up and worked perfectly.
Never before i faced any problem with my iPhone. Any help will be appreciated although resetting it is the last thing i would want to do.
Also my one year warranty will end day after tomorrow. You think I need to rush to apple store? Please be quick. Thank you sooo much.
