Hi there.
My problem is this. When you restart my phone works with about 1400mb free RAM. A few days ago I had to do in a short time many photos 20-25 in HDR mode. After 20 picture the camera kick me out, and when I looked at how much RAM I have, I found that I had free only 150mb. I noticed that when taking pictures of RAM consumption increases progressively with each shot, not once. Another thing I noticed that this consumption occurs only when taking pictures in HDR mode. When off HDR shooting mode there is no problem. Separately in the Running Apps nowhere figuring out what is currently using as much memory. When I reboot the phone everything falls into place, but every 20 photos i restart it, and I do not think that is normal. I would like to use HDR. My friends with* Nexus 4 have the same problem, which means that the problem is not in my phone. Can any of you to try and convince you.Before the update I had no problem with the camera and I hope you do not have to go back to the old camera. My question is there a way to fix the problem. Thanks and sorry for my English.
Unfortunately, Your friend and you arent the only one. I have the same problem with pictures in HDR and I am also on a nexus 4... :/
Same problem here. Also in photoshere, after 8-10 photos photosphere kicks me out. havnt still found fix to this issue..
After I took 20+ photos in HDR, free RAM was only 261 MB, and N4 was totaly slow. There sure are problems with google camera.
this is an ongoing issue since sometime now with no fix in sight.
My N4 restarts automatically after taking few shots. the same happens at times in other applications as well. so I don't think it's Camera application itself, but camera drivers or something which is creating the problem.
Yes the infamous camera reboot was supposedly solved in 4.4.3 but it appears that many are still having the issue. It is camera driver related and affects all applications that utilize any of the devices cameras.

Hello friends, I didn't find any topic about this so I decided to write. There was one topic but no solution or genesis of the problem.

Yesterday I was high in the mountain. I was happy because I can take some photos with my HTC Hermes. But no way...a big problem jumped in front me.
I have a 1GB Storage Card A-Data. The PPC is not flashed or anything else. I have it for 2 months. I have not take a lot of pictures so I haven't noticed that.
What is the problem. When I try to make 2M Fine Quality picture of and everything "auto" all that I see is a grey picture with size 680B after taking the picture. I make some experiments. I marked everything fixed (photo mode,britness, white balance and so on). Everything the same. I stopped all other programs. Even stopped the GSM service. I tried without the StorageCard. I tried to reset the PPC. I tried to put it on 1M picture one and the same. The picture after the shot is grey with one and the same size 680Bytes.
When I put the mode to 640xXXX pixels the pictures were okey. When I make a photo at 2M in dark place where there is no much light the picture again is okey. 3 times even the Camare service just crashed and I have to restart Camera again. Also one time when I pressed the camera button there was a message stating that the camera service is started and the control on the camera is taken, but this was a lie because TaskManager didn't show me any camera started
Please tell me if you have some info. Or I have to go to the shop where I bought it and ask an explanation.
If it is at any help I will tell you the Device Info:
HTC TyTN
ROM Version 1.18.255.3
ROM Date 07/22/06
Radio 1.03.03.10
Protocol 32.34.7010.01H
ExtRom 1.18.255.106
I have no helpfull info, but I had this problem too on XDA 0.10 but occasionally, no matter if picture was dark or bright, only solution was switch saving new pics to memory, not to card, then it worked. after upgrade to xda 0.20 problem disappeared. I am on Tmobile, and before starting to play with flashing and ROM upgrading, I had no problem with taking pics. fortunately now everything work correctly.
and if you hard reset device do you still have the same problem? I mean if device is empty, not installed any progs...
I suggest upgrading
I found my TyTN using the 1.18 ROM's to be unreliable. I had problems with bluetooth, general phone freezes, and specifically the camera functionality breaking. IIRC, the camera functionality would come back if I did a soft reset. I didn't get any pictures of my 2 year old daughter from a party she was at because I was busy goofing with my phone (prior to the upgrade).
I upgraded to 1.35 ROMs and found a bunch of these issues fixed, so I would recommend upgrading to the appropriate 1.35 ROMs. That was the latest shipping ROMs for my version of the phone. In general, the phone is now a LOT more reliable.
I wish there was a list of bug fixes and enhancements for each ROM but I haven't found such a thing.
I will eat my fears and start flashing...

Try the CoolCamera ......no problem with storage card saving, faster and I think takes better pictures.
I had EXACTLY the same issue with all 3 tytns i had. CoolCamera - link in previous post - sorted all of the problems and IMHO takes much better pics than the default camera app.
Hi, I own a Vibrant for some months now and I'm using its 5MP camera quite a lot. In fact I find it quite decent for a phone cam in well-lit environments...
Lately I've opened the phone to apply the Hardware GPS fix. It worked (now it locks almost instantly), however the whole trial bequeathed me with a less than working camera (I swear I touch nothing close to there). Now all my images are blurry, case in point: http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/7028/picua.jpg (the original is in full 5MP glory supposededly "adjusted" for the given lighting and taken with a very steady hand).
Do you know what may caused this? Also did anyone else face the same problem (after operning the phone or not)? If so is it a problem that it can be solved?
I grew quite accustomed to my vibrant's camera, and I'll hate if I'm to lose its function now.
Thanks for your attention...
Erm, go to settings> applications> camera > erase everything cache, data etc.
That should make settings default.
Then try it, if it still does it.. erm find a camera app from market, and use that, then you know if its camera, or software.
thats not blurry, more like foggy. I had this same problem when i installed my ffc. I had put the phone back together before I let it fully dry. It might just be the inside of the glass that needs to be wiped off or something. good luck
Running Pure Nexus Project as my first custom rom from factory firmware. Wiped everything except internal storage as instructed. Camera has no issue taking pictures but this is the first time I've used the video cam. After about 10 minutes of taking videos, I could feel the phone heating up the top portion and it has a thin spigen case and I could still feel the heat through the case. After that screen just shuts off and recording stopped. This happens twice in succession as I thought I just press stopped accidentally the first time around. Does anybody have similar experience when taking videos? Could it be an issue with the custom rom or this is an issue with the phone's processor just like the first revision? Any suggestion/input from members who had the same experience is very much appreciated.
I was recording a video in 4K that was about 8 minutes long and the phone stopped recording but it never shut off. It just stopped at like 8:02 with a resulting video of about 2.4GB. I thought at first it might have run out of space (this was near the end of my vacation), but I had space. I don't recall the phone heating up at all. I was able to keep taking photos after that but didn't try more video.
That was the only time it ever stopped on me by itself, though.
Happened 3 times for me when I run camera from locked phone. It makes a sound of taking photo but won't take any photo. When unblocked after then doesn't work ether. Just restart is fixing.
Have you noticed any similar?

Try going into settings>applications and finding the camera app. Clear cache and data for the app and restart device. It's probably just due to buggy software and not a hardware issue if you're not getting any black screena or errors since the camera module itself is still functioning. Also see if changing the saving location to SD or Internal storage makes a difference.
Anyone else getting horrible camera lag? When I first got the phone everything was fine, but anymore when I open the camera app, it's like 20-30 seconds before I can even take a picture, sometimes longer. It's been this way the last couple of weeks and is VERY annoying, especially since that's one of the reason I went away from my Nexus 6P....
Anyone have any thoughts? I haven't installed any new apps in that timeframe that would affect it.....
Mine does it often as well, same with trying to use the finger scanner to unlock if the phone has been sitting for a while, it won't work.

Change from micro SD storage to internal storage if needed
Settings/Developer Options/Tick on "Force GPU Rendering" this should make this beast smoother/snappier" If root available try L Speed/Entropy/fstrim apps found on Play Store! LG V20 & LG G5 are snappy beasts, well optimised with Snapdragon 820 and is better than Samsung. Try removing and putting back your memory card from phone and check the lag gone till all good.

Just wondering if you have frozen or disabled any system apps before you have an issue with laggy camera app? Because mine went laggy as well after I froze certain system apps. Some apps I disabled causes my SD card to unmount itself as well.
I just restored my TWRP backup and the camera is functioning back smoothly without issues.
