Camera App Crashes After Updating - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After updating to the newest pure nexus, my camera app crashes on every load. Ive tried clean flashing, making sure the vendor image is correct, setting up as a new device, using different gapps, etc. Ive really done a lot trying to get it work from a bruteforce standpoint.
The away facing camera works in snapchat / other camera apps, but I cannot get the front facing camera to work in any of them. I would think its a hardware problem except this only happened after updating.
Attached is the log file.

[Q] Anyone else having camera problems?

I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue on the N10 as well or if I just got a fluke.
Front / Back camera worked for first 5 minutes out of the box. After going to a different application and trying to get back to camera, camera app fails to connect. Restart tablet, same problem. Force close gallery/camera app, wipe data/cache for the app and re-open. Same error, camera no longer displays at all.
Factory reset, camera works for a few minutes, try to open it again after leaving, crashes the same way. No third party apps can access camera either. Tried many factory resets, even with only gApps installed same camera prob.
Waiting for RMA now, but has anyone else run into this or something similar? :crying:

I had this exact problem on my galaxy nexus. I finally pinned it down to an app that controlled the LED (like a flashlight, or torch app). I removed it and it worked fine after that.
Yup looks to be a 3rd party app since it works after factory reset. I would reset it again but choose not to have it reinstall the apps automatically. Then just do the process of elimination until you find the problomatic app. Worth a shot.

Thanks for the advice but I've factory reset multiple times and have only gApps installed, same thing happens :laugh:
I'm having the same problem, both front and back camera are not working properly. I'll try factory reset later this day.
Do you have the cameras working already?
I'm having the same issue too. Today's the first day with my Nexus 10, and right out of the box the Camera doesn't work. Never loaded even once.
Has anyone else had this issue and was able to fix it?
Same problem here! Do you think rooting and flashing CM might solve the issue?
Same here. It seems its only the stock camera tho. I installed 2 different cameras from Play Store & both those work perfect. Camera ICS+ & HDR+ both worked for me.

I tried these apps but it's still not working for me. Hope it's not hardware related. It worked the first day I had my nexus.
EDIT: Installing CyanogenMod solved the issue =)
EDIT 2: Well it actually solved it for just a day or two, now it's back!
I'm also having this issue too it seems. Created a post about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251337 and thought it was related to my rooting of the tablet since it worked okay before I tried that. Currently on 4.2.0 stock and OEM locked and the issues is still there, starting to think it's a hardware issue.

Definitely a hardware issue. I did an RMA with Google ...the new device they sent me has no issues.
Try that if your device is still under warranty! Google is pretty good at getting replacements sent to you within a week!
Turns out it wasn't a hardware issues, the problem I was having was apparently related to the sync of contacts which for some reason completely disabled the camera until such a time as the contacts were synced.

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

Camera not focusing???

Today in the morning the camera was working just fine, but suddenly the app crashed. And when I started it again all was blurry, and the focus was not working anymore. I tried to clean the app cache, do a factory reset and I even flashed 3 different ROMS and the problem was not solved. Is there anything I can do?
Mine has had issues since new, here is what I do, try at your own risk. Open the camera app and give a good tap on the top of the phone (obviously not too hard). I think the cameras physical hardware sticks sometimes.

weird camera issue with all custom roms

Hi everyone, this is to request to fix a weird issue. I have flashed following roms for my G4 plus(Xt1643) : Invicta Os, RR, Pure nexus, Hexagon os. There are various versions of these roms available , I have tried them all and many a time their new updates.
I always make a clean fresh install just to be sure. The thing is whatever rom i flash I have a weird issue, that of camera. Whenever I use camera, the device gets very heat up, and while using video recording it lags like hell. It fells like it has skipped a million frames.
And many a times device gets shut down while it got heat up. I have tried many camera apps with these roms like snap camera, moto camera, motorola camera, google camera, htc camera, cameringo, footej camera.
Only footej and cameringo seem to work, but sometime they also show the same issue. And auto focus in cameringo doesn't work in video recording mode, but works in footej.
The thing which surprise me the most is everything works fine in STOCK rom!! Otherwise I would have thought it as a hardware issue. I have used enough stock rom and I flash custom roms sometimes just in hope that this time the issue will get resolved, but no luck.
I don't want to use stock rom anymore. Please suggest me a custom rom which doesn't cause this issue; if anyone else with this issue got any fix PLEASE HELP.

Downgrade from OOS 10.0.1 to 10.0.0?

Can i downgrade from OOS 10.0.1 to 10.0.0 by dirty flashing the old Rom on top of the new one? I want to avoid having to configure everything again and installing all apps all over again, so i wanted to know if there is any shortcut for downgrading.
In case you are wondering, it's because i dont like the OOS 10.0.1 video stabilization feature, which sometimes takes too long to save a video after it has been recorded or it has some weird zoom ins and zoom outs when recording in a dark room.
have you tried using any other camera apps?
GCAM seems to be the best alternative to oos cam, try recording with it and see if you're satisfied with its results.
as for downgrading, I don't have any idea, but I don't think that you can dirty flash it, so I highly recommend you not to do so.
I had same issue. One plus 5 (@10.0.1), was having problems where video files would take very long to save. Additionally none of my video recordings record with audio. Ran like this for months until my nerves quit,
I finally did a factory reset and everything was good for a week but the problem came back. I have no audio when saving selfie or rear cam videos. Doesnt matter if i record, 720, 1080, 1080-60, or 4k, same damn error. About to toss this phone in the trash. It's clearly a software bug of some sorts. Clearing cache/storage on camera app doesn't fix. Using different 3rd party camera app doesnt work. Restarting and clearing phone's system cache doesnt fix either. Dont think running a second factory reset is worth my time and the hassle as it will probably produce the same error in the long run yet again.
Factory stock- Gallery app 3.7.32, and camera app 3.0.69.
Thinking of downgrading to OS v9 or perhaps downgrading the camera app? Do you know if either is possible nowadays?
