Stock Camera App Freezes/locks up!

I have a rooted Atrix on .83, the stock camera app takes forever to load up, and takes about 4-5 seconds to capture a picture. It was never this slow when I bought it.
Rebooting fixes the issue for about 5 minutes, and it's back to freezing.
Opening up a picture in the gallery FROM the camera app takes forever too!
Anyone else having this issue?

I am too. It did not do this until a week or so ago. It is horrendously bad and I think I may go to a third party app. Strangley, google goggles works fine with it.
Edit: my problem is with camera not gallery
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.

Other camera apps work fine too, just the stock one has issues.

A few times I really needed my camera it would say there was an error and I couldnt open the stock camera app. The only fix was to restart the phone. I never had this on the other two Atrix phones I had haha.

Stock CM7 camera FC's

Hey guys, i know i saw a similar issue, but after searching all over, i can't find it.
Every time i fire up the stock camera app in CM7, it FCs. This issue only manifested in the last few weeks. Up until that point it worked no problem.
Basically, as soon as i launch the app, i get 2-3 seconds of working camera, then it freezes and FCs. I'm able to shoot pics through other apps (HDR, paper cam, etc).
Any thoughts on how to fix this? Possibly replacing the camera APK?
Thanks in advance!

Front Camera Issues

So I had my Nexus 4 for about 2 weeks and it has been working fine.
Now when open the camera app and switch to the front camera, it says "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped working". Every time I open the camera app it says that.
I deleted the app data and force stopped in the settings and the camera would work again but every time I try to switch to the front camera it says gallery stops working.
I installed other camera apps and the front camera works fine just not when I use the stock camera.

*bump*

Are you rooted?
Try running fix permission in recovery or in rom manager application.
When this doesn't work, try clearing cache and dalvik-cache....
and when this doesn't work > Hardreset your phone.

My phone is rooted but I didn't install a custom recovery mod, and I am running on stock Jelly Bean 4.2.1
I have cleared the cache and the davlik-cache but still the same issue.
I can open photosphere, and panoramic mode, but whenever I switch to front camera it closes saying gallery has stopped working.
Then the camera won't even launch until I force stop the gallery app in settings.

Like the maniac said, a factory reset should fix it.

I did a factory reset, but the problem still persists.

So I flashed my Nexus 4 with the stock 4.2 Jelly Bean, updated to 4.2.1 and all seems to be working fine. My phone is unrooted, the bootloader is still unlocked. I may dwell into the world of rooting again in the near future...like later this evening lol
Thanks again for all the help. I have been using iOS for 3 years and this is my first Android phone and I am loving every minute of it.
I hope to learn more from the good people of this place.

same issue
I'm having the exact same issue. Nexus 4 Stock 4.2.1. Unlocked and rooted. Gallery app crashes when I switch to the front camera but other camera apps work fine. I have done a factory reset and cleared the caches. If unrooting it works I guess I'll do that, but I would like to have the phone rooted. Any advice would be appreciated.

[Q] nexus 4 camera issues

I have a friend that purchased a Nexus 4 as a phone for an overseas move. She has been trying to get it all set up before she move, but the camera doesn't work.
When we tried to use the stock app, it would freeze and never force close. I tried to install Camera MX, and that would actually force close.
I then did the 4.3 update, after which the stock camera app completely disappeared. The Camera MX app still force closes. I am unsure where to proceed. She doesn't want me to root it. She may call Google and complain, as she got it from the play store.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Flash stock ROM from the official Google developer website. If that fails then seems the camera module isn't actually connected.

AOSP on LG G2 not working well with Snapchat

Hello guys,
I'm not sure if this is a well known problem or if it's just me, but it seems there is a problem with snapchat (the camera) when running AOSP-roms on the LG G2 (D802). I've encountered this problem using both PA and CM.
When using snapchat and pressing the "change camera"-button to use the rear camera, the app freezes and I have to force close it. Then, when I open Snapchat again it shows the error message "Unable to connect to camera". When trying to open the camera application it shows the same error message. A reboot seems to fix the problem, but it doesn't take long before I get the same error message.
Is there any solution to this? I'm a little tired of rebooting my device 20-30 times a day. There is no problem on stock firmware, but I really want to use AOSP

I have the same issue on the VS980 and so far havent found a solution and its driving me nuts. Im not real sure how the app itself works but ive wondered if installing a different camera like the lenovo super camera or something along those lines would make any sort of difference, or if its just the app itself. With some searching i read something about google and snapchat knowing of the issue and that it was suppose to be taken care of in one of the 4.4.x updates but it doesnt seem like it

Having the same problem, snapchat will tell me to reboot but I sometimes I can just open the camera app, let it settle and flip the camera back and forth a few times, and then snapchat will magically work again.. still very annoying as I use snapchat a lot
