So, here is what happens:
Start the camera app
Still pictures work fine
Select the video mode
Record a video
Once I stop recording, the screen displays the save/delete/etc options for a brief second, then shuts down. No errors are displayed. After this happens, I can only make use of the camera app after a soft reset. If I attempt to use the camera app without resetting, the app appears, but never displays what the camera sees and then shuts down again.
It acts like the camera is failing when being initialized, but does not throw any errors.
Any ideas? All the threads I could find all deal with the 'camera failed to initialize' message, which is not my issue.
Same Problem After Upgrading to WM6.1 (27/2/08)
I've got the same problem but can't configure out how to solve. Can anyone help?

I have the stock AT&T Pure.
For some reason I can't figure out, the camera isn't working properly anymore. It starts up fine, the autofocus works, I can enter the Settings and the Advanced Settings menus and change settings without problem.
However, when I touch the shutter button to actually take the photo, the camera responds like it should, makes the shutter sound, and even displays the photo I just took on the screen. But that's where it freezes. The photo "review" never goes away. I've even tried changing the review duration to zero, but when I take a picture the screen just becomes white and freezes there. The "back" arrow button below the screen does not respond when this happens, nor does the Home button. But the "end call" button does take me to the home today screen. From there, if I go back to the camera tab and touch the icon to start the camera, nothing happens. The button responds visually when I touch it, but the camera does not start. Only a soft reset (or sometimes running CleanRAM at Level 3) will make the camera app start again, but still not completely take a photo. No photo is actually stored/saved when this happens.
I thought it might be due to lack of free memory, but even after a soft reset or running CleanRAM this still happens. I even tried reducing the resolution to see if that did anything, but it didn't.
I think it has to be one of the other apps I installed that's interfering with the camera. After a hard reset, the camera worked fine. Then after I installed my apps this started happening again. Nothing I can see in the registry settings for the camera look incorrect or out of the ordinary. Only one or two of my apps have functions that access the camera, and the same thing happens when I enter the picture mode in them. I removed both of them but still have the same experience.
Any ideas?
I'm afraid there is no other way:
- hard reset
- install your apps one by one, softresetting each time
- check the camera
- install another app
...
In the end you will know what's wrong.
Seeing a problem with my new Atrix.
I hit the camera Icon, works fine, no issues.
Through the menu, switch to Video recorder.
Video recorder switches, and shows the red record button.
Then when i hit the record button, I get kicked out to the main phone screen?
ATT store tried pulling the battery while powered on.
The phone rebooted, and then the video recorder worked.
30 mins later, the same problem returned.
Any ideas for resolution?
Thanks,
Mark
As the title says, I can't get flash to work in Snapchat. It works in every single other camera app, but not in snapchat. I've tried reinstalling but it does the same thing. If i turn flash on and hold down the shutter button the flash will blink on for a second but then snapchat starts recording a video. On other devices as soon as I turn flash on, the light stays on until I turn it off or I take a picture. Anyone else having this issue?
Hi there,
I dont really know when it started, but when I am trying to quick access the camera via tapping the powerbutton twice while the phone is locked, the camera app pops up but the screen stays black. Hitting the HomeButton and the powerbutton twice again lets the camera app pop up again, this time showing a picture.
Sometimes it even works like it should on the first time, but most of the time it doesnt. Anyone else having this behavior?
Any recommendations? Running entirely on current stock firmware.
Thank you and best regards,

I've had this happen once maybe twice, the camera doesn't seem to wake just the app so you have the app showing but no image from the camera. Screen lock is set tell use pin on my phone. I'd guess it's a bug.
Could try turning the lock screen off see if it still happens.
I can confirm this behavior. But I cannot reproduce it systematically. Sometimes it works sometime not.
Hi, does anyone face issue of black screen after using camera for some time and closing and re opening the camera app? This issue started to appear right from realme UI update. But in recent f10 update, they has mentioned that fixed black screen while using camera. But I still face that issue. To open camera again, I need to restart the phone. Along with the issue of camera, There is also a similar issue that the mobile will not respond for some time after pressing power button. It will show blank screen and will not show lock screen and fingerprint sensor will not work. To make it work, I need to press power button thrice to make emergency call then mobile will respond. Anyone facing these issues?
