Try doing master reset to the phone...

If that doesn;t help try flashing it's firmware...

You will find phone flashing tutorial in this forum.

I have a problem with the jpegs. This happened I think twice already, the thumbnail says I took the shot right, but when I open the file, its sort of a collage, half's black and white and the other half is cyan, I think.

I tried opening it in Photoshop and it said the file was corrupt.

Now, I've read somewhere that SE phones cant have viruses. But what about the m2?

Is it my camera driver?

I'll try to post pictures if I can still find the file, I think I deleted it though...

Any answers?

This problem can be caused by fake or corrupted m2 card... I have seen a case like yours... Actually had the problem myself. Format the card using PC card reader (recommended) or you can use the phone's formatting option. It should be fixed then (if your card is not fake)... Fake cards cannot be repaired with formatting if they start doing this...

How would you know if your card's a fake?

But i dont think so though... Anyway, i'll try what you suggested. Thanks.

Don't know exactly how can you recognize fake m2 card, but try formatting it. It may solve the problem though.

exactly.

Try these steps to isolate the problem:

1. format the m2 card then try it again. If that doesn't fix it try stgep 2:
2. try someone else's M2 card in your phone. If it works, then your M2 cards is probably faulty. If it doesn't work, then there is a problem with your phone. To double check, format your m2 card using the computer, and try it in someone else's phone, if it works then this also suggest your phone is faulty. If it seems there is a problem with your phone goto step 3:
3. try a master reset. If that doesn't work go to step 4.
4. try a firmware update, then master reset straight afterwards (remove the memory card first).

If none of that works, you should take your phone back and get a replacement (or if they won't replace it for you they have to atleast take it for repair free of charge under warranty).

If they try to repair your phone and you get it back and it still doesn't work, then you should be aware that most countries have warranty laws that dictate what resellers must do in the event of warranty claims. Some country's dictate that a faulty device that doesn't work from day dot, should be replaced under warranty immediately, some country's dictate that the reseller can first have it sent to the manufacturer for a repair attempt. Either way, if after a certain number of repair attempts it still doesn't work properly you are entitled to a replacement ie: they can't just keep repairing it until the warranty expires and then wipe their hands of it.

If they replace the handset and it still doesn't work as advertised, then they must refund your money. SE will have their own warranty terms, but also be aware that if your country's warranty laws give you more rights than the manufacturer warranty, then the law takes precedence over manufacturer warranty.
