I've had this problem since the December updates. Google camera dies a few seconds after launching, I'm not rooted or anything.
I connected Google costumer service and they tell me through all the steps and pretty much told me it's the cameras sensors, funny and back. The viewfinder is black and the app just dies. But if you look at the recent comments on the play store, it looks like this is happening to a lot of people.
The only thing that send to make it work again for a picture or two is if I force stop the camera app, delete cache and storage. Then reboot into safe mode. Then the camera works a few shots and restarting the device the camera will only work the same way if I didn't have it fail when I'm safe mode.
Have any of you heard about it or experienced this issue?
I'm on Android 10 and I was in beta before.

Getting a weird one. When I am video'ing, and I try to zoom in, the camera then crashes with "Unfortunately, the camera has stopped". I have tried with Google Camera, which I have installed, and the zoom seems to work fine, but I would rather use the LG G3 camera app. The zoom works fine when not recording, and when taking stills, but only crashes when actually recording
I have tried a full factory reset, and even waited till the next OTA was released (v10i), hoping that a new ROM would fix this, but still having the same problem
Yesterday, when showing someone the issue, the zoom was working ... which confused me, but then later on during the day, had to reboot the phone. Went to show my partner last night that it was working, and it was crashing again. This morning tried to zoom, and yep, it seems to be working today
This has really got me stumped. If it was hardware, you would expect it all the time, and for it to fail on other 3rd party apps. I like the stock app, but cannot use it as my default in case I have the zoom issue, and therefore lose what I am videoing
Anybody have any ideas on this?
The phone is stock, LG-D855 and running V10i-EUR-XX
Has nobody else had this issue, or any ideas how to resolve?
I have searched and scoured the forums and have not found this issue. Maybe someone can shed some light...
When I would open my camera, sometimes the app would open and freeze (blank screen with only the back button showing). I would go in and clear the cache and data then force close the app. That would fix it temporarily.
Then there was a firmware update. Now my camera opens to a blank screen with the back arrow only.
I have cleared the cache and data, done a cache/data clear on the google app, even a factory reset. Then resorted to using the LG software tool and re-installed the firmware. Still not working.
I know there is this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2090959, but my app is not crashing. It's just doing nothing like the camera is supposed to be working.
The phone has not gotten wet (as far as I know of), nor has it been dropped. It also has an Otterbox case on it.
Has anyone else had this issue?
My nephew has the same phone on Verizon and has no issues with his.
Note, I am running Android 5.0.1
Us Cellular is ordering a new phone for me. I did all above items that they would have. He was stumped also.

LG G3 [D855] Front camera not working
Hi,
My LG G3 [LG-D855] front camera not capturing clear picture. Its showing blur image, compared to front camera back camera clarity is very bad for the last one week. I bought it from eBay 5 months back, now its creating this issues.
I tried with other camera apps [Google camera, etc.,] and I reset the default camera app. Still I'm facing the same issue. Its not even reading the WebWhatsApp QR code.
Please anyone help me to resolve this issue.

Completely stock. Out of nowhere today, the camera app has started crashing. Pressing the shutter or vol buttons does nothing, and no pictures are taken. I rebooted the phone and took two pictures and camera force closed immediately. If things were working properly there would still be at least two seconds before pressing shutter and a picture being taken. This phone SUCKS, it's the most disappointing Android experience I've had.
This started happening to my phone as well. I force stopped it, then rebooted and it works for days again. I notice it usually happens if I go from Camera on taking photos to screen off. A closer look shows that if the app is doing something such as changing rotation from landscape to portrait when you screen off, it goes completely bonkers. It's as if the sensors are locked in an orphaned process and can't be accessed. This is proven by launching another app that uses the camera and it'll do the same thing. Black screen loading the app.
this is happening all the time now, especially when i take many pictures in a short duration. the camera will go all black and then a random app will open, seriously. the stock camera app does this.
Do you guys have any Layers themes on?
i do not

Welcome to the club. This phone is a total lemon. Just waiting for the latest udpate to check if it fixes this issue. Its close to 5+ months now and google hasn't still fixed the issue so far.
I think i am done with the nexus line with this phone........
i have had nexus 4, 5 and now 5x.., and 5X is the most horrible in terms of lag/slowness. My N5, which is still own and use is much faster with the same set of apps.. when using / launching apps side-by-side.

why are so few people acknowledging this? moreover, why are so few people livid about it? i am! i can't open the ****ing share menu from any app without 3 seconds of lag. it's bull****. the android experience i want is simple: 1) nexus line so i don't have to wait for updates and deal with bloat, 2) no lag because it's 2016 and 3) a phone that's not sized like a ****ing tablet. i don't understand why i have to use a surfboard to get the higher end hardware. it's bull****.
Sorry for double topic but
Anyone has issues when taking a picture that it's taking forever to process the image? I am not able to take a new picture again
Edit
Camera keeps crashing, have to clear cache. Update the camera app, restart the phone then I can take a pic again

cleared cache, reinstalled the app, updated, restarted the device. right now its not crashing, it just takes forever to take a pic. I keep thinking its a RAM issue. But i didn't have these problems when i just bought the device

I just had Google send me a new pixel 3 xl - for one my phones suffers huge memory management issues also the new camera update screwed my device up. Camera app launches then does not launch lens so it is black, snapchat will not work as well- $1000 I should not have this many issues. I have never had any of these issues with my pixel 2 xl

yeah, i talked to Google yesterday they will or issue a refund or send a new device. the problem is i love the phone, but these issues are so bothersome, especially now with the camera problem
Complete joke - I mean we have these devices fro Phone/Messages(email etc... ) and then Camera and Social Media - my wife and daughter have been gone three days and I have to reboot my phone every-time they call me on Duo for it to work. By the way my whole family except me uses Iphones so now Google has a horrible name in my family.

yeah! i actually did a factory reset hoping this would fix it, but nope. It is the worst experience i had so far with a google phone. i will just ask to return it and get my refund, its a 1000 euro device that can't take a picture.
I am back to my Pixel 2 XL - my Pixel 3 Xl phone is unbearable.
it is horrible! they are making it a hassle just for the warranty replacement! Google is ridiculous. ill never have another pixel again
I just got my replacement today - as of now no issues

I've never had an issue with it. They do what pretty much everyone does. Make sure you have a hardware problem, then if it is they send you a replacement.
I decided to return it. Running with 6t now
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
