This is just copied and pasted from my forum post on windows central, I figured it would be seen by more people here! Oh and i cant post screenshots because im still a new member on the XDA forum but you can see screenshots on the windows central post! Just search for my username to find it.
Guys, I figured it out!! Casper does work and will let you send snaps!
So I was messing around with Snapchat (Casper) on my Nokia Lumia 920 and I almost had a heart attack when I saw a picture that I had took pop up with the editor like it was ready to send (which it did). So here is what I did:
1st I opened up Casper (duh)
2nd I took an image from the camera (IMPORTANT: make sure you've set Casper to use the installed camera app)
oh and also I found this to only work with the front camera (probably because of the lower image quality/image size??)
3rd This is the hardest part...waiting (now i know you will all probably think this is a trick but i promise its not, I've done this three times so far and its worked.)
You have to wait for about 1 min and 10 seconds, I know this sounds ridiculous but just make sure the screen doesn't time out or anything, I timed it on my watch. Then Casper will pop up with your image in the editor:
Ta-Da send as usual!
I'm really hoping that this will work for all of you! I was very excited when I got this to repeat multiple times! I first figured this out when I took a random selfie and I went to my stories, then I clicked on someones story and I pressed send as snap when that editor popped up I blacked out the screen using an emoji and I way typing something to send to my friend when the image I took earlier flashed up in front of me and startled me a little, lol!
you can tell me what version are you using? I am not able to sign in with the last two versions available in my lumia 930
It doesn't work for me. I use Casper, set the Installed Camera app as default. Already tried Blackberry mode on/off but no change. It just goes to the startscreen, but the app doesn't close. Looks like it's trying to open the camera but insted pushes me back to startscreen.
I have a Lumia 920 with win 10 mobile 10512 (Fully unlocked)
Please help...

Is the keyboard popping up on your version?? if you dont have a keyboard that pops up in the app im afraid to say you will have to hard reset your phone by first backing up everything and then going to settings>system>about>reset your phone
*THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING FROM YOUR PHONE BE CAREFUL*
The new fix for this is on the forum you do not have to reset your phone.
Good luck getting it to work

Did you update your windows camera from the app-store, mine is fully updated, try deleting and reinstalling Casper, maybe that will work?
Doesn't work with my 930.
Edit: Actually seems to work, the image ends up just randomly popping up on your screen

Hmm I wonder if the time that it takes for the image to pop up is different per device, I would try timing it on the 930, let us know what you get!!

I've got a 100% record with getting this working so far, without even having to do your 3rd step of waiting 1 minute. It usually takes around 30 seconds, give or take 5 after taking a picture and pressing the tick before it pops up on my screen. Only works for front facing cam it seems. Sometimes it won't work just sitting there waiting for the image to pop up so I'll have to play around with the app by viewing/downloading a picture or two from someone's story, exiting back to the main screen and then it'll pop up. I don't know if this is necessary or me just getting impatient but so far it's worked every time for me. Also works quicker when the app is freshly opened, so if you've been playing around with it by viewing snaps before you try sending one it'll probably take longer to pop up.
So if you haven't gotten it to work, try taking a picture with the FFC and after about 30 seconds, just play around with the app, view stories etc. and then press back out of their story onto the main screen, rinse and repeat until it pops up randomly within the next 30-60 seconds. It's taken up to 1:30 from pressing the tick for it to pop up sometimes but so far I've got every picture that I've taken with the FFC on mine to eventually pop up. I have blackberry mode turned on as well.

Um, no, you do not have to reset your phone. There is a thread in this forum here that will instruct you how to restore the keyboard, and it works. The solution had been found and posted before you wrote that; why would you tell someone to wipe their phone if they don't have to?

Because I didn't know there was another way to do it, my keyboard did the same thing and I had to reset my phone. Thanks for sharing the link though!
Sure thing. I actually reset my phone a few times over a couple days, trying to get everything working perfectly, but I was checking here several times a day for a solution. I needed Access Point to access cellular data, but it has to be installed on 8.1 and then upgraded to 10; you can't install it on a fresh 10 install. I was incredibly frustrated when my kb stopped working in my android apps every time, where it would work fine after a reset but then I could only use wifi and I would have to use the recovery tool again or deal with not having any data. Despite the bugs I think 10166 ran better and I hope they push another build soon.

Yeah, I agree with you, 10166 did run better in terms of compatibility IMO, I think the only thing that 10512 did for me was increase the battery life by like 1000% lol

So I got the Galaxy Nexus GSM today and it's one hell of a sexy device.
It obviously came with Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box. And errors out of the box. Right when I start the phone, Talk FCs. When I try to start the Camera, it FCs.
I though "What the heck, Jellybean probably fixes that", so I unlocked it and flashed Paranoid Android. Everything is a lot faster now, but I still have the same problems, except now Gallery just crashes, which renders the Camera unusable, because they're apparently linked together in Jellybean.
I tried 3rd party apps (Zoom Camera, Paper Camera and a few others) and none of them work.
So it seems that everything that has something to do with the Camera doesn't work.
I tried everything that I could think of;
Reflashing
returning to stock
force stop Camera
Disable and enable all network related functions in G+ and Gallery
Clearing cache - both for individual apps and the option from the recovery
Trying 3rd party apps
Googling everything I could think of
Installing G+ (that made me able to open Gallery, but Gallery still force closes when I open Camera)
Changing battery
Of course I can't see it being anything but a hardware issue, but some people who have compiled CM10 by themselves have the same errors. I don't know if that helps me.
So before I return it some time this week, does any one have any suggestions to what I could try?
I'll give this thread two days before I return it.
Thanks in advance.
You rooted? If not and you know how to root, root it, replace the app (gallery, camera, whatever is not working) with stock JB version. Hopefully it's just corrupted apps... That's easy to fix
Thanks for the reply. I've already tried the Jellybean version of Paranoid Android and it made no difference.

I just went ahead and called verizon.. and they're shipping me a new phone today. I see a lot of posts about this, with no solution. It'll be quicker to do it this way. Except you call whatever your carrier is. Or samsung, if nothing else.
Well, you see, I bought the phone refurbished. There was a guarantee on it, but I lost the receipt, so I can't return it or get a new phone.
I ordered a rear- and front-facing replacement camera. It should arrive in 7-15 days because I'm ordering from the USA.
I looked into it, and disassambling and assembling it should be fairly simple. Nearly the same process as the Nexus S, which I've disassembled before.
If it doesn't work, I've only lost $22 and it's not like I have a valid guarantee on it anyway.
Oh well, replacing the cameras didn't work.
And I even managed to break the volume buttons.
Even if I got hold of the receipt, there would be no way they would repair it now.
I can as well just go buy a new phone. Next month. Maybe. At least everything else still works.
When you flash ROM, do you ensure you completely wipe previous ROM and data? Also, if you use something like Titanium Backup to restore your apps after flashing a new ROM, make sure you don't restore system apps or data. That will definitely screw things up in every ROM as incompatible files are mixed.
Try doing a full wipe of your device it could help
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
It was like that on the stock rom.
And yes, I always ensure to wipe everything. As said in the OP, I even tried returning back to stock.
I got the same problem, I GOT IT FIXED NO HARDWARE FAILLURE!!
Hi,
this is what i did, got it fresh from the box, didn't even bother to set-up, I instantly updated to Jelly Bean..
everything worked perfectly, besides the camera, it crashed instantly.. (gallery did not respond)..
i rebooted it 2 times, then pressed the Power button + volume down.. it went to an system boot thingy.. the i connected it to my pc with an usb (usb debugging enabled).
my win7 pc said the drivers were installed, then i pressed the power button. after loading. the camera worked perfect.. thats REALY everything i DID.. i'll keep you posted if it fails again.
it also worked after unplugging the usb.. Hope I helped you a bit.
I can second this fix!

So, I was having this exact same issue and was ready to call Verizon for a replacement, when I tried this as a last resort and VOILA!! IT WORKED! I am still unsure of how this all came about, but for the purpose of hopefully helping someone with the same issue, I will second this quick fix as IT DID WORK FOR ME.
I had this same problem (camera/talk fc'ed on start, whenever opening either app), tried all the fixes I could and nothing worked. I eventually disassembled the phone and used a toothbrush and isopropyl alcohol to clean the main board and the connections for each of the camera modules. After a couple rounds of cleaning, everything started working again.

Thanks for this information, I'll try to do it with mine too. Any results I will post here.
Hi all, heres the story:
At first, I thought I was loosing my mind, I kept checking my phone and the WiFi was always off, which is weird for me.
Anyway I turn it back on and go about my day, check half an hour later its off.
I was like "im sure I turned that back on" anyway same again half an hour later.
So I was watching it this dinner, and low and behold I watch both my WiFi and my network connections restart themselves like someone was switching them on and off, but the WiFi didn't re-connect and stayed off, wereas data re-connected ok.
It goes on ! I then realised that my phone was calling people by itself, which is also weird as theres no buttons to accidently press to call people? (ITS TOUCHSCREEN!!!)
Anyway, today I recieved a text off someone asking me why the heck I'd just sent them map co-ordinates.
So someone or my phone is sending people map co-ordinates....
The ONLY thing I can think of is Cerberus, could Cerberus be causing this?
Is this the phone telling me its on its way out?
Any solutions?

What can be doing this? I only have apps from trusted Vendors such as Natwest, Vodaphone, couple of games, Tasker etc :/
Any ideas?
Can it be Tasker? It's supposed to automate tasks. Maybe there are some causing all this. Try freezing it.

I also thought it could be tasker, but Tasker has been setup for months and months, and not changed for atleast 2/3 months+
I checked tasker, and theres only 3 profiles, which have nothing to do with any connections.
They're profiles such as, plug headphones in and music player appears.
PS - Cannot freeze, stock and un-rooted.
My mate had similar issues with his SGS2. Upon examining the phone I discovered an app called Blackmart Alpha, I discovered it was a program which downloads cracked/patched apps. Did a hard reset of the phone and all was fixed, well not all, he was very pi$$ed with me for losing a heap of apps.

*Edit 2* This is apparenly caused by "LastPass" which I just enabled prior to this crashing. Thank you to EddyOS for helping me out.
Good morning, *crazy realization / edit down below*
I just got my HTC One M8 yesterday and it is really nice, but one problem is that every time I click the camera app button, or launch the camera from the lock screen, I get this crash every single time.
I have reboot my phone, not installed anything weird or crazy, and this is just nonstop happening.
The only way I can actually get to my camera and use it, is if I turn t he phone off, flip the phone 90 degrees so I’m holding it like a camera, and pressing the volume down button to do the quick launch camera.
Everything else I try to get to the camera with crashes.
This is beyond frustrating.
Thank you for your time,
-----------------------
*Edit 1 - I realized that whenever I am holding the camera in "landscape mode" it works fine and doesn't crash / launches fine. As soon as I 'stand the phone up tall" it will crash. I can even launch the camera anytime if I am holding it in landscape mode when I press the camera app and it opens fine. As soon as I stand the phone up the camera crashes! This is the worst bug I have ever had in a phone and is starting to make me regret going with HTC again (going on 7 years straight with HTC but I feel let down).

If I had to factory reset this phone less than 12 hours after I received it in order to get the most basic functionality out of it, this sucker is going back and it will be the first time in 6+ years I have not gone with an HTC Flagship.
Nice phone but very disappointed with a few things (this crash is beyond making me mad) and this is coming from an HTC fanboy. I just can’t stand to see Samsung be the only ones with no competition thus bringing down quality for everyone which was the main reason I support HTC as well as their innovation. This just sucks though.
personally i'd reset it.. if it happened again i'd agree with you.
Tech is tech.. sometimes things go wrong. I've not seen a single other user with the same problem.

The video camera function on my camera is no longer working and I’m not sure why. This phone is less than 5 weeks old and I have already taken videos with it. This upsets me because I have a 4 month old that I love to record especially when it comes to his firsts. The led flash light comes on when I push the video button, the screen switches and freezes. The message saying error prompts and when I close the camera, the led light will remain on until I reopen the camera. Hopefully you can help me figure this out, many thanks!

Most don't need to update their modem and if you installed software that modifies how your phone works, you might try turning them off or uninstalling them to see if they are the cause of your problems.

u could try booting in safe mode and test if theres any app or tweak that is causing it. or u could enter Service / Test / Hidden functions by dialing *#0*# on your phone dialer and u gonna get to the service mode and check camera itself. also theres another one of those USSD codes that brings u to check the phone gadgets hardware /firmware version to see if it same as the camera app... u could also do a full factory restore from recovery screen if nothing else works remember to do a backup first @ titanium backup.. or if you have fair tech skills u could remove the back cover and remove the battery plate and check if tje battery connectors are in place im sure u could find a note 3 tear down video around.. i had the same problem but with the frontal camera and ended up been the camera was defective and replaced it and worked like charm
I know this thread is kinda old, but since it is on the first page on google's query, I'll post a solution here (found on another site).
The solution is to turn off the phone and remove battery for 10-20 seconds. This should resolve the issue.
Some users report that the issue occurs when you charge your phone via PC or laptop USB port. So, to avoid this, prefer original charger.
thanks
thank you for replying even if the post is old! it simply worked while i was about to sell my phone ! good thing i saw your reply first!
Did you ever find a fix?
I was fiddling with my phone settings and testing a few features. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT ENABLE THE TALKBACK FEATURE.
After enabling this feature, my phone began to freeze on every screen while the voice assistant keeps speaking as I try to press anything on the screen. The entire phone just bugs out. Can't swipe or scroll. Can't select anything. Can't get to the settings to disable the talkback feature because I can't scroll. Can't do anything basically.
So, here I am with a brand new unusable HTC One M8. This is my 2nd NEW HTC One M8 that has defective software. My first one couldn't read any SIM cards after 3 new SIM cards were attempted by a T-Mobile rep.

Can't. As I mentioned, I cannot swipe or scroll. Factory reset requires scrolling to 'Factory Reset'. Not only that, I cannot select anything unless I get "lucky". The phone doesn't do anything I want it to do. I have a vid of the issue but I can't link it to this thread because I'm a new user.
If you have an HTC One M8, you can test this feature yourself and let me know if you run into the same problem but I warn you... if you run into the same problem, you will need to get it replaced and your phone won't work. Would be nice to know if this is a common problem but I'm not sure people are willing to take that chance and basically break their phone on purpose. It's like telling someone to press the big red self-destruct button to see what happens lol.
Factory reset from the bootloader..... and talk back works fine. And if it does fail on my phone i re install my rom, i love my unlocked, s-offed M8. Makes it all so easy

How do I do that exactly?
Wish I could show you the vid, then you'll understand exactly how impossible it is to do anything.

Sorry, I think you're misunderstanding my previous explanation. I cannot swipe nor can I scroll. I cannot select anything. The entire phone becomes bugged/glitched. You'd be amazed if you could watch the short video I made of it. It's more extreme than you think. Everything just goes haywire.
I'd like to say I'm a very tech savvy person since I do a lot of computer-related design, I can build computers, troubleshoot viruses, clean my registry, and "techie" things. I'm not just some average consumer who bought a phone and doesn't know how to use a smart phone. I'm very proficient with smartphones. With that said, there is seriously something wrong with the Talkback function. Enabling it almost feels like a virus is attacking the OS. I honestly don't need to use that particular function but what if one day I do or someone else might need to use it.
I actually got a new replacement yesterday and I'm not even going to touch that function whatsoever until I find some answers and a possible solution. I have everything synced to my new phone with my contacts, multiple email accounts, apps, social media, etc. and I'm not going to risk running into that problem and being forced to factory reset my phone. If you know the pain of having to reinstall your OS on a PC which I've done dozens of time throughout the years then you'll understand how painful that process really is because you have to reinstall all your software again.
I found another bug on my new phone as well and made a thread about it already. +/- for Selfie Mode doesn't work. Just greaaaaaat.

u need to use 2 fingers when scrolling
LOOOOL...ROFLLLLL...
I remember the first time I ever turned talkback on. "Panic" should be included as an official feature. Obviously, like our friend here, I didn't bother to read all the operational instructions that came with it, and thought for sure I had killed my phone.
Hint: you really have to use "2 fingers" to go anywhere!
Cheers
