common solution for system apps or better to say preinstalled apps is to clear cache, data, force stop and re open it.
Setting > Apps > Camera > Clear Cache, Data, Force Stop
then try to re open app and check issue.
Possible solutions If problem remains
- you need to restart phone.
- reset to factory
- Flash another stock firmware (that u can find in sammobile.com/firmware) via Odin

Thankyou for your help but I have already tried your first suggestion and unfortunatly it didn't help.
I was also thinking I may need to Factory reset or flash another stock firmware as I have tried deleting the app itself and installing again but I still have the same problem.
I just find it strange that I cant seem to find any info on any one else having the same issue...
Anyway when I have abit of free time I will look for a firmware and give it a try. In the mean time any other suggestions are welcome.
Regards,
Gary.

Well I figured out what was causing this. It seems installing xposed stops my stock camera app from working as previously discussed.
The app is fine installed but when the firmware for xposed is installed the camera app doesn't work, when the firmware is uninstalled the camera app works fine.
If anyone has any info on this then I would appreciate it if you could share.
I'm also gonna ask in the xposed thread to see if anyone has any explanation or info. Hopefully I can get to the bottom of this and sort it out.
Thanks if any help or info is given.
Regards,
Gary.

Lol! Funny reply, but seriously... I haven't done anything recently that can cause it. I read online that fixing permissions could help, but I don't have a custom recovery that can do this. Can anyone point me to something that might help?
Right, I wiped the cache partition from Recovery and that seems to have solved it. Really weird that it just started happening... I wonder what caused it?

after googling most of the people fixed this random issue with
a factory reset
after that (optional)
GOOGLE CONTACTS are synced and APPs are restored.
some wiped the data and cleared the cache in bootloader but most of the people didnt do that and resolved the issue with just a factory reset

Try a hard reset (or even a soft one first). If it doesn't work, flash it!
See above guys... its fixed. Now I'm curious about what caused it.

No this does not belong in the Development forum as that is not for questions of any sorts so you posted in the right area. You just need to be patient for someone to help you and if they don't it's unfortunate that no one may be able to help so you may need to do some off site research.

I have the same problem for a long time and couldnĀ“t find a solution. Hope someone knows a way to fix it.
I've had this problem before on my phone and I removed my Google account and re-added it as well as clearing data for the Market/Play Store and everything went back to normal. I've never used a Nook Touch before but it's worth a go if you've not done it already.
I just experienced the same issue with my Nook Touch, but the problem has gone away since I just did a factory restore and rerooted it with TouchNooter. That's a drastic solution, but the previous post would probably do the trick too since the restore I did technically did the process that was explained. I was going to restore and reroot anyway in order to update the firmware to 1.1.2 and make a proper backup.
Someone on the #nookdevs IRC channel told me he experienced the problem once when the internal storage of the device was full, so that's something you may want to check if/when this crops up. I keep all my reading material on an 8gb card in my Nook and not the main memory itself, and according to the settings I still had 228mb of 240 free at the time (and 3gb on my card), so I don't know what was actually causing the problem.
Factory reset isn't fun Internal memory is free
Try to delete account: gmail->accounts->accounts settings -> book reboots itself
Somebody told me to reinstall market. But I don't know how install it again

I had the same issue yesterday, this morning it was still doing it.
I also tried to download from the play-google website, but it did the same thing.
I removed google account, booted the nook, added google account, and ran synker and it is now resolved.
I am not really sure what caused it or if doing this resolved the issue or not.
How did you remove account?
When I go Gmail>Accounts> Settings my Nook makes reboot without errors

Here is synker - try saving this to your sdcard and then running to install.
I have found it to be useful
Didn't help
Synker>Accounts & Sync Settings > device reboots
I'm sorry. Mine only did it once, and it is now resolved. it hasn't done it again.
Have you tried restoring your backup and going through the whole rooting process again. I know .. ugly.
But it doesn't seem to be a common problem.
I think I may have a solution for you - rename /data/system/account.db to /data/system/account.db.bak
reboot and then open market - itshould ask you to sign in again, which recreates the account.db file.

[Q] QuickRemote Problem.

Cache and Data Cleaning DONT HELP
There was a report from a member with the exact same issue as you have, however, he said he did root and also delete one of the corresponding file, that was his problem, and soon after he move that file back into the system, QR worked as normal. Your case is kind of strange since you haven't rooted it yet.
My suggestion is factory reset.
Remember, you will lose everything, so backup first.

Done a LG Backup , transfered to my sister N4 and after factory reset made a reset of backup It seems that it worked Thanks you.
Was QuicksetSDK frozen or removed? Quick Remote needs that file to work properly.

[Q] 4G LTE notification always on [Solved!]

Hi... I am using 4.4.2 stock ROM, rooted.
The 4G LTE symbol is always on.
None of the following attempts removes it -
1. Connecting to Wifi
2. Removing Caller Id
3. Stopping all Verizon background apps
4. Stopping mobile data
5. Switching Wanam Xposed "Persistent data type icon" under notifications either on or off
It always remains grayed out but up there when I am connected to Wifi, like the picture below.
Is it also like this for you if you are using 4.4.2? Any more ideas that I can try to remove it?

I don't think it ever goes away on stock 4.4.2, maybe not even on 4.3, I've heard others complain about it as well. I think the only way to get rid of it is to install a custom rom. I am running JellyBeans build 2, it's pretty close to stock, and it got rid of that, it's only on when mobile data is on, not when wifi is on. Hope this helps.

Yes, that helps! Thanks. Weird, I didn't find many threads on this topic - only a few where the issue was resolved apparently by removing Caller ID app. It's good to know I am not alone.
I might try the JellyBeans 2... I have never changed to non Stock ROM's before, can such a change preserve all my apps and settings?

I think if you make a safe strap backup you can always come back to it and restore if something makes you not like it.
As for keeping your apps and data, I think whatever is on your internal/external storage stays untouched, but as for the apps, JellyBeans is different enough from stock, although it looks the same, that you may have to do a data partition/cache wipe to get it to run stable. What I always do is make a note (no pun intended ) of all my downloaded apps and changes, or maybe back them up with Titanium Backup to the external storage, then just re-download from Play Store or restore with Titanium once the new rom has been installed. Just takes a few minutes of getting used to in the new rom environment. Good luck!
Removed it! With Xposed Framework, I downloaded a gem of a module called - "Samsung Data Connection Icon Fix". That did the job. Link - http://repo.xposed.info/module/net.thinkindifferent.dataconnectioniconfix

Any fix for 'Checking info...' and other problems?

Hi,
I have recently flashed my oneplus 5 NitrogenOs, but I am facing some issues. I figured maybe any of you guys could help me.
1. When I try to add a new google account, a new screen pops up saying 'Checking info...' ('Informatie controleren...') and appears to be loading. This screen however, never closes. This way I am not able to add any google account to my phone. It appeared out of nowhere after some time of using the rom, so i currently have my google account already setup.

}
2. Google search is not working either (the app and the shortcut in nova launcher), it stops loading just before the end.
I am guessing these two problems are somehow related to google play services, but I have no idea how to fix them (obviously).
3. E-mail isnt loading anymore. The mail preview is showing the first 3-4 lines, but when i open the mail itself it shows nothing but the details (sender, time etc.). This occured after the clean flash (will get to that later on). I can also not send any e-mails. I tried this in 3 different mail-apps (with 3 mail accounts) including gmail and they all show the same results. This is not happening on hotmail.com in chrome.
Current phone details:
- Twrp multirom 3.1.1-0
- Bootloader is unlocked
- Running NitrogenOs 8.0.0 (latest build from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/development/rom-nitrogen-os-cheeseburger-t3684946)
- Magisk v15.2 installed
- Flashed Gapps 'mini'
- Busybox installed (don't think this has anything to do with the problems)
- No Xposed framework installed
I am aware of the fact that the 'Checking info...' glitch has a lot of threads/posts already, but i haven't found any solution yet.
Things i already tried:
- Clean reflashing (rom, gapps and root (magisk and supersu))
- Updating google play services via apk
- Clearing cache/data from all google apps/services
- Removing updates from all google apps/services (this was not possible for google play services)
- Messing around with the host file (root/system/etc/hosts)
Both before and afther the reflash the first two problems occured after a short amount of time.
If anyone has a solution for any of the problems I would love to hear it, and if there is already a solution in another thread i would love a link too.
(ps. This is my first post so if anyone has tips, feel free to comment)
Try different gapps like nano or pico.

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried wiping everything except internal storage and reflashed rom and pico Gapps. For now it seems to be working; mail shows up, all apps open and no google related bugs. Hope it stays like this, but either way thanks for your help!
I finally found out what causes the problems; it's viper4android. After installing the stock version and the materialised version over it the problems occured. Any idea how this could happen or how to undo it? Because i am kinda settled down already with my setup.
I tried uninstalling the drivers and uninstalling the materialised v4a, but the stock version cant be deleted because i flashed it via recovery.
