Fring will kill your camera - Vibrant General

My camera started failing and I couldn't get it to work again. I rebooted it several times to no avail. I did some internet searches and found some Captivate and Vibrant users on another forum that had the same problem. The culprit appears to be Fring. I uninstalled Fring and my camera started working again.

[Q] Camera crashing?

Whenever I open up my camera app it will work once or twice and then crash. Only fixed by a reboot and then like i said it will only work a few times. Has any one else experienced this, or am I just lucky?
My camera has been having issues as well. Mine randomly will only display a black screen and will not do anything. I have read that its a shutter issue but my shutter is not stuck. Others have said that the geotagging causes this "black screen" issue and turning it off and rebooting will fix it but that has no effect either. factory resets, data wipes, etc does nothing to fix this. This has been going on randomly for a few months now so I am stummped. Verizon told me that update they pushed a few months ago would fix it but apparently that was useless info too. Anyone have any other options or possible fixes???
Same issue here

Hopefully Verizon and moto will do what they normally do and get a list of all the bugs, then push out an update for them. It's starting to irritate me.
My camera app hasn't crashed any, but I do randomly get blank photos since upgrading. Noticed a couple of plain black ones in my gallery last night that weren't blank in the camera review...

News app problems

i have some issues with the news app on my dhd. it synced with my google reader account.
but now i tried to organize it a little bit. tried to unsubscribe some feeds but i cant. i always get the message "Unable to unsubscribe"
so i deleted it already in google reader on my pc but even if i hit refresh its still there...
any ideas?
same problem
Same problem...except mine kept force closing...I had to do a hard reset. It was fine for a while...now again it keeps saying updating but does not update. Everytime I have to keep removing and adding the widget.
Mine doing the same, force closing now?
looks like a bigger issue...
it doest force closing yet, but its not working at all. just did a one time update and thats it, tried to remove feeds, still there, added feed. the feed is there but the app doesnt update it...
Ditto - same issue
Was Googling for help with this but none to be found. Hopeful that someone'll figure it out and post here.
My experience:
It was working fine until about a couple of weeks ago - can't remember if I updated anything - but all of a sudden News stopped updating successfully and won't let me unsubscribe from anything.
I've had exactly the same problem. I've given up on it and switched to RSSDemon... very good app.
Fixed mine by doing factory reset and following instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834323
I think HTC need to do something about this...this is the third thread I have seen on here with regards to the newsreader widget. Mine kept force closing so I did a hard reset...it was fine untill a few days ago...keeps sayign updating but it doesn't! I have to keep removing and re-adding the widget for it to update properly again...i'm sure this can be sorted with a software update...coming from Nokia to HTC I thought it was the end of hard re-sets..but not so!!
i did a hard reset now and everything seems to work so far...lets see if it stays that way
mine stopped updating about 2 weeks ago, tried doing a clear data from settings>applications, but that's just made it so everytime i try to load the news app now it flashes up as if it's about to open, and then disappears to the previous screen.
anyone else?
is there anyway to reinstall this app without a hard reset? i want to get this sorted but i don't think its worth losing everything else..
I also have had all the above problems, now it's happened again after a hard reset fixed it for about a week.

Trouble with sensors after the recent update

This is a problem I didn't notice right away. I attribute it to the QF2 update because wife also has an S7 and experiences exactly the same issue.
In a matter of hours after reboot the internal sensors stop working or behave erratically. Sometimes the phone would go to the lowest brightness, the screen will not turn off by the proximity sensors during a conversation. Functions relying on shaking the phone stop working. Some (but for some reason not all) apps don't switch to the landscape mode. I downloaded several sensor testing apps and they confirmed my suspicions. After the reboot everything works, but several hours later sensors start showing random values or "no data".
Does anyone else have the same problem? With two affected phones in my possession it can't be a random fluke.
The phones are not rooted.
I had an issue where the phone no longer responded to "OK Google". Turns out I uninstalled all the updates to the "Google" app and reinstalled them from Google Play and that fixed it. I wasn't sure if it was the OTA for the phone or something else, but the OTA might have jacked something up somewhere. Have you cleared cache and such to see if that fixes it? Otherwise, I'm having no issues with the sensors not working.
Thanks for your suggestion. My phones are set for manual updates. I updated everything and rebooted. The sensors worked fo about 12 hours and stopped. Which cache you recommend to purge? Google app?

Camera Keeps Stopping

Hello,
I have an unlocked Galaxy S8 (unrooted). Until last night, everything was working fine.
This morning, there seems to be something wrong with my Camera App.
When I click the Camera App, it just dies out and flashes the "Camera has Stopped" error message.
I use WhatsApp quite a bit to talk to my family oversees. I tried it earlier this morning - the selfie camera worked fine, but when I try to switch the camera from within WhatsApp, it doesnt work. As I mentioned, I did use WhatsApp video call last night which worked fine.
Here are the things I have tried:
There were auto updates to some apps overnight which I thought could be the problem, (Youtube, United and Skype) but I uninstalled those.
After googling the problem, I also Wiped Cached Partition.
I also tried installing a random camera app from the App store, but it also does not work.
I turned the phone on in Safe Mode and checked the Camera App. It still doesnt work, which makes me believe that the issue isn't because of a 3rd party app.
Can someone please help? I don't know what the issue is.
