My iPhone Ran Outa Film?

My iPhone stopped taking pictures, click, and no shots in the Camera Roll. I did some googling and found this post on Apple support. (I am a wonk, thats what I do) METHOD #1 -- LEAST DESTRUCTIVE 1.

If I were away from my usual workstation, it was easy enough to pull up the app with all the server names/addresses, and their related logins/passwords, and get to work on any nearby workstation. With the iPhone? W...
