[Q] Front Camera Keeps Crashing - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have only started to use the front facing camera and noticed that it is constantly crashing. Once I switch to front facing mode, I can't revert it back to the other camera. I have to go into SETTINGS/APPS/ and delete the camera data and then set up the app again. I downloaded 3rd party apps as well as using Facebook, once an app triggers the front facing camera, it crashes and gets stuck.

Most likely a hardware issue. RMA.

camera error in hangouts

I have:
moto x
AT&T with latest kitkat update
stock
normal camera apk
normal hangouts apk
stock everything
no frozen apps
no root
When I start a video call with someone I get a camera error and the no video of myself at either end of the call. If I very quickly switch to the rear camera right after initiating a call then that camera works. However, if I try to switch back to the front facing, it stops working and I can't get back to the rear facing camera.
I tried clearing the hangouts data and rebooting with no other camera apps running (snapchat/camera/etc). Neither of these things helped.

[Q] Camera Issue (not purple tint)

Recently my m7s camera has been buggy. When taking a picture with the front or back facing camera the viewfinder doesn't update, it shows the first image from when the camera app was opened or when the cameras are switched. Videos work but there is a slight moment of a frozen image at the beginning of the video, another mention is before a video it says anther app is using the camera and is being terminated now, I don't know if this means I have a virus or if it is just a bug. I'm not rooted.
Any support would be appreciated.
When I use the front facing count down it takes a picture like normal I'm real time but the viewfinder doesn'tuupdate, it happens in every app that uses the camera so I'm not sure if it is hardware or software that's the problem.

erase cache/dalvik cache and see if the problem persist, if yes try a factory reset. If the issue still there after a factory reset its probably an hardware problem.

m7tmo front camera only working when roaming out of town

That's pretty much it. It won't connect at all in town, and if the camera is set to the front when opened, it force closes. Any application will usually at least display the camera switch but will freeze or force close.if.I click on them. On occassion, but for no known reason, the buttons won't even display to switch the camera within applications.
This problem persists outside of this Rom and kernel setup.

upside down front camera

Running factory image of 5.1 lollipop. My camera (video) in the front is acting bizarre. Everything is being displayed upside down with video.
Any suggestions? In not going to do a factory reset so skip that suggestion.
This is a clean install and it it do it on 5.01 and 5.0.
Are you facing that problem with stock google camera?
Because I'm facing same problem with other 3rd party camera apps.
And I'm still on 5.0.1.
That's exactly what I'm dealing with

Flashlight disabled after using any front facing camera app

Hello. I found I'm not the only one with this problem online but I haven't found anybody with a solution so I figured maybe somebody here knows. I first noticed this with Snapchat but it is also the case was Skype or Whatsapp or any app that uses a front facing camera. With you open an app and you have the front facing camera on like Snapchat because it opens automatically with the front facing camera the flashlight doesn't work that part is understandable. The issue is after you close the app, like even if you force close snapchat completely, the flashlight continues not to work, the tile is completely disabled. If you try to use a different app as a flashlight same problem wont turn on. the only way to get it to work again is to open your camera app or a back facing camera app and then close it and then the flashlight works again(or i suppose reboot the phone) . Did anybody happen to have a solution to this problem? It appears to be unique to the Razer phone 2 from things I've read online and from it working fine on other phones including the first razor that I had.
same, not heard of full solution.
Sent from my Razer Phone 2 using XDA Labs
