[Q] Camera Constantly FC'ing, any ideas??

Hey all. Starting about two weeks ago, I was starting to get constant FC's on my Camera application and all apps that use the camera.
When I tried restoring back to a nightly where the camera had worked, it opened to the front facing camera and as soon as I tried to switch it to the back camera, it froze, then FC'd and refused to open.
I did a completely clean wipe and installed CM7 Final and I am still having the same issue.
I have tried:
1. Fixing permissions
2. Clearing the data for the Camera App through settings->applications and also through Titanium Backup
3. Deleting the Camera App through Titanium and reinstalling CM7 Final
4. Installing a new kernel (SZ)
5. Switching back to a Sense ROM (camera was still FC'ing)
6. Un-rooting my phone AND hard resetting the stock ROM
and NOTHING has worked. I NEED my camera, it's one of the main reasons why I love my phone so much!
I'm on HW004 which I suspect has something to do with this all.
I took this into the Sprint store the last time this happened and they told me that they "replaced the camera application" but I'm not sure if that's entirely accurate.
I would normally take this into the Sprint store again but it's very difficult for me to get there (I'm a college student without a car) so I'd prefer to find a way of fixing it without having to bring it in.
Anyone have any ideas???

If you've wiped and flashed to a different rom, unrooted your phone and did a hard reset of the stock rom and THIS PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT?.....Then I hate to tell you dude....you don't have a software problem! You need to find a way to the sprint store OR call customer service and go through the whole technical support crap and have them send you a replacement phone or something. It sounds to me like something messed up your camera to where it won't work any more.....maybe you dropped it or something...spilled O.J. on it or something.....Aliens messed around with your phone and are now laughing at you......SOMETHING WENT WRONG WITH YOUR CAMERA and it isn't anything involving software like the camera app!

Camera, Netflix, YT, and Flashlight Apps Crash on my VZW GNex

I RMA'd my first GNex last August with a cracked screen, the one I got back had some problems:
Camera App crashes. Sometimes on startup, other times after a few seconds, and occasionally it doesn't crash until after I've been able to take a full photosphere, but usually the first two. It shows force close screen.
Netflix crashes after a few seconds to a few minutes. It does not show a force close screen, it just restarts the app.
Youtube won't load videos and when it does, it gives an error after a few seconds or minutes.
All flashlight/torch apps crash either on startup or after a few seconds.
I got tired of this, and didn't want to deal with Verizon's ****ty RMA service again, and since it seemed like it could be a software problem, I chose to root it and try to fix it with a custom ROM. I flashed CM9 and the problem persisted. Thinking it was too late to go back, I've just dealt with it until like a week ago.
Then I heard that a 4.2 update was coming to the VZW GNex, and returned to stock using this method (Would hyperlink, but don't have post count. It's the first result when you google, "Return to Factory State (Unroot and Relock) site:rootzwiki.com" without quotes. I flashed the JB files). Shockingly, the camera, Netflix, YouTube, and flashlight apps worked. However, when the 4.2 update came along, it broke everything again.
So that brings me to my questions:
Does anyone know of any way to fix this? Preferably without rerooting, but I'm still up for that if necessary.
Would I still be under warranty if I followed the linked method for unrooting?
EDIT: I'd also like to add that music playback is interrupted when either the camera or the flashlight app crashes.

go back to stock manually using this thread

I'm already stock...
To reiterate: About a week ago I unrooted and flashed a stock 4.1 rom that fixed everything. When I got the OTA update to 4.2 everything broke again.
I also just did this, and it worked for a minute or so, but the apps are back to crashing now.

Camera app suddenly constantly crashing

So last night I came home from work and was going to take a picture of my daughter but the app kept immediately crashing. I used it just fine earlier in the day.
The weird thing is that it also does this in safe mode. But Open Camera works just fine; but I need that burst functionality. I just want the app to work and I'm clueless what to do.

Are you running rooted or no rooted? Tried resetting the camera app through Application settings? Wipe all data etc

Not rooted. I uninstalled updates and still does it. I haven't find a factory reset yet as if I do that I'll just root.
I was hoping it was an easy fix.

..

I randomly get this when I open my camera app

Same here, does anyone have a way to fix it?

Camera app keep crashing

Hi, just bought my Pixel 3a XL 3 days ago, updated to Android 10 December, the camera was fine and working correctly for few days.
But starting from yesterday. The Camera app keep crashing every time I open it, not able to take a single picture. I do everthing I can even clear storage, factory reset but the same problem.
I uninstalled the update for the Camera app on Play Store and use the pre-installed one, than the camera work normally, but cannot switch to front-camera.
Is anyone else have the same issue?

First time I read about such an issue.
Maybe a hardware malfunction?
If you have an unlocked bootloader I would flash the latest stock factory image, and since you have had it for only a couple of days if that does not work I would get it exchanged.

I knew many people have the same issue like me if you read the comment on Playstore for the Google Camera app latest version. I don't know if it's hardware malfunction or not, but I can use the rear camera as usual when uninstall the latest update of Google Camera and use the factory version of December update.

I use camera px and I have never had a problem with it it's Google camera but with extra features enabled from the newer pixel phones give it a try it isnot on Google play store it is her on xda

Some apps just crash after rooting

So i recently rooted my phone with magisk and slowly and slowly some apps started crashing when i opened them, what can i do? By the way, yes, its not just the app install that corrupted and my camera app is crashing, its a system app.The video which i can't upload since the camera app crashes

Did you use root to do something? (If not, why root at all?)
That could be the problem, rather than root itself.
Anyway, you'll need to provide more information. Your video tells us next to nothing.
But I did notice you run Viper4Android. That can be tricky to get working properly. Unfortunate, not a subject I know anything about, but maybe others can chip in.
