The stock android camera app or the gallery app do not open. Every time I try opening them it just basically force closes. Now neither of my other camera apps are working (camera360, instagram). This is the 2nd time that's happened. I just got this phone from Google Play a week ago, and I have already done a factory reset once. Can anyone help?? I haven't rooted this phone, it's running stock JellyBean. Someone have any solutions?
If you didn't root or anything, check if you got Gallery app or Camera app disabled. If not, it might be corrupted application, in which, to fix it, you gotta root and replace the apk itself. If you don't wanna go through all of that, just call Samsung or Google and ask for replacement.
Hi all,
I'd like to know if somebody could help us with this problem in hangouts app. At chat context, evething works ok, but, when I start a video call, app makes a FC and gives the option of send notification, as usual.
When I tried to delete cache on hangsout app, the video call works until I make any slight change, for instance put the phone on horizontal way or change to rear camera, even when I hang off. And starts working bad.
I tried to delete the app and reinstall it, even I installed 4.3 from stock with adb tool, with to any good relults from I was using 4.2.2
Please any ace on android who could ask me for any test to reach any solution.
Thanks all
Hi I've been experiencing some troubles with my camera and after searching through forums for a fix I saw that many people had FC's on camera app by zooming or the can't connect error.
I have an lg with a similar not the same issue. It's on stock v20u no bumped no root , camera app only shows black and after a while FC's , no can't connect error.
Third party camera apps shows only front camera no button to swich to rear.
Thinking that might be a faulty camera I've replaced it with a brand new. Still black.
Then factory reset the phone, after that camera still black and FC.
Clear cache and data of camera app. Still no luck.
Motherboard problem ? No fix ?
hi dear. i have the same probleme, did you fix it :/ :/ .

Have you rooted your phone ?
When I rooted my phone with KingRoot, I disabled some Sony System Apps.
After that, the camaera crashed at the first start after reboot, and then the message "the camera may be in use by another application. Please close the other application and try again" appeared.
After enabling the system app (whose name I doens't remember) and a restart, the camera worked again.

i have the same problem and my m5 is not rooted
I used to have this problem, in my case was caused by the Google App and the option Ok Google from any screen. Disabling it worked for me
I had the same problem I restarted my phone and problem did not came back as for now.

Which Google app and which option did you disable? Can you walk me through? I'm having this problem with my M5 at the moment. Thanks
Hey @andrewjjoseph, go to Google settings, tap Search & Now and after that tap to Voice, which will let you decide how and to what length, you use your voice to interface with your Android device. Disable it and check Google widget on home screen. When “Ok Google” is disabled, “Say, ‘Ok Google'” text and/or the tiny microphone icon will no longer appear on the search bar. That's it, you're good to go. Don't forget to restart your device.
Please help me

Did he try the decision applied in the post above yours?
I did it yet it didn't work. Is there any other option?
This can also occur when the camera flashlight was used as a "real" flashlight / pocket light. Close the other app.
