Hi people! Recently I've been having problems with stock camera app on my s8. Normally using both cameras, taking some photos and and when I click to exit from it, camera keeps working, all buttons on screen would freeze and I wait like 5 seconds to actually exit and even worse, sometimes it won't start recording after i clikc REC button, just stays there and does nothing. Is this like common problem, maybe due to pie 9.0 update? Maybe any possible apps that causes interference ? One more thing, after exiting from it i get a notification something like this "gallery app keeps crushing, using too much battery, put it to sleep?"
I have tried solving it with clearing camera and gallery data and app cache, whole partrition cache, uninstalling gallery update, problem still not gone. Thanks.
First step: Factory Reset
Related
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...
Please help me or assist me with fixing my phone camera. I am a noob to Android phones but I'm technical (MCSE,CNE, A+,Security+)
Problem:
My SGH-I337 is about 2 months old. I applied the UCUAMF3 update OTA and afterwards everything worked fine but I found the camera program took a long time to load and would only display a black screen. I would have to restart the phone and launch the camera first to get it to work. Today I continued to have this problem but could never get the camera to work. It would only display a black screen and I can touch the screen and see the focus square and I can select settings and change mode but it takes a long time. There is about a 15-30 second delay after touching a menu option on the screen. At first I was able to switch to the rear (screen) camera and it would work but eventually that stopped. If I let it sit on the screen with the camera I will here a beep every so often but it may be because I've touched the buttons. Everything else works fine and I have no problem with anything except the camera app or any app that tries to use the camera like Amazon to scan a barcode or Facebook to take a picture. Usually these apps become unresponsive and then quit. A couple times I got a message that said Camera Failed.
Things I tried:
Rebooting and removing battery
booting in to safe mode and the problem is the exact same
Force stoping camera app and doing a clear data and clear cache
Wiping cache partition.
Phone:
AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337
Update applied OTA on approximately 7/10
JDQ39.I337UCUAMF3
also tried factory reset
I also did a factory reset and the camera will not work. Only a black screen.

I'm starting to think this may be a hardware problem..

fyi: I had exactly the same problem before the update.
After the update, the problem persisted. I did a hard reset after updating and the problem went away. The problem has not returned since.

when you say hard reset is that the same thing as restoring to factory defaults?

Yes. I went into Settings>Accounts>Backup and reset>Factory data reset
Hardware or Software
So far I've done the hard reset twice via the hardware buttons and once from the software. I'm still puzzled if this is hardware or software. I read that the july update had new camera firmware and that is when my problem started. But since everyone is not having this problem I would guess it isn't a widespread. Still not sure if it is hardware or software. Which I could re-apply that July ROM again to see if that fixes it.
Hello, I have p8lite few months and I see very often, almost always, when I run camera app, it looks that is is working, but..
when I left the application by HOME or BACK and return back to camera, here are various behaviors:
1) black screen and after some time camera app restart itself, and again and again
2) camera shows the screen but unable to get focus to object
3) camera works normally - this occurs only some times, 1) or 2) wins
Sometime helps end of app from tasks or clear data of camera.
I also made the factory reset and I camera is doing it again - the same on the clean system after some time.
When looking on LOGs, here is strange error about some buffer which launch app again and again.
I have original Android6, EMUI4.0 - C432B574
Any idea? Anybody see this problem?
thank you!

Try downgrading to B560 or lower.
Hello all,
I've had this problem for the last few days and can't seem to resolve it. My phone has been extremely slow lately and apps are taking a long time to load up. However, when I needed the camera to snap a picture, I must wait about 20 seconds and the following message appears:
"Camera Error: Unable to start Camera. Check if any 3rd-party apps are using camera resources (such as Torch). Close them and try again."
I have since checked the Torch app and see that the light is on, but no visible light is emitted from the flash sensor. I turned off the Torch and the camera still displays the same message. Going back into Torch, I discover it is still on and I am unable to permanently turn it off. I also don't see any other apps that may be using the camera, so I'm really confused.
If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated
The only thing I can suggest you do, is to make a backup, then do a factory reset. As soon as the phone boots up, then check the camera to see if the issue persists. If it does, it is most likely a hardware issue, and the phone will need to be repaired.
If not, then there's a rogue app that is preventing the camera from starting up, so you'll need to install all your apps individually, to see which one is the problem. Good luck!
Hi everyone!! I am having camera crash issue with my Oneplus 5. It crashes every time I open the camera app. It opens for 5-6 seconds and crashes each time. I tried clearing data of camera and also clearing cache from recovery, but no luck. I have tried hard reset the phone, re-locked the bootloader, completely back to stock, but still no luck with camera, it still crashes. Recently, I tried open beta with android 9, but still same with the camera.
Does/did anyone have such problem with the phone? Any solution would be highly appreciated.
