Google Camera crashing - anyone have a fix yet?

I'm running chroma but others are reporting this in other roms as well. I thought the issue started right about when the camera apk got an upgrade this week, which brought faster HDR processing, etc. Mine crashes randomly. Not every pic, not every 5...just when it wants to crash. Seems HDR mode brings it on more often. If it crashes, the pic I was taking doesn't get saved either, which sucks. I tried reverting back to the December camera apk thinking that would fix it, but it's still happening with that. So I'm now thinking it's either related to some other google services, possibly the overhauled photos app?
Anyone else have a guess? It's frustrating.

Have you tried clearing the application data and application cache in settings?

yeah. And it's been fully removed numerous times as well.

I don't have a Nexus 6 but I have a Note 2 with an AOSP ROM /5.1.1 Lollipop and the google camera crashes. I have to reboot the phone. This has been going on since that app came out. They can never seem to fix it

works perfectly here(on 5.1.1 and on M).

Take a few HDR photos in a row. I guarantee it'll stop working. You don't even have to take them fast.

what kind of wizardry are you doing? Using M I get the crash. Using chroma 5.1.1 I get the crash...
Do you use google photos and do you have the autoupload features on?

no, i use the aosp gallery app and i do not upload my photos. the only photos that get saved are what i upload and post on g+. i ran m for 9 days or so, and it never crashed. but i did find a camera bug on m. if you are taking a photo with the flash on, and tap on any part of the screen to focus, itll onlways refocus on the very middle, then shoot.
oh, btw, i am using the terminus rom.

I've found that if I could 6 seconds between each shot, the issue does not occur. Or if I scroll to the pic and watch the HDR processing bar finish, then take another pic...the issue does not occur. If I do take multiple shots without much time in between, it always crashes. Doesn't matter what rom I use.

im using terminus rom, this version https://goo.gl/ojD6Z6
with banks gapps, and vindicator kernel. all flashed via twrp. if my camera crashed, id be the first person ticked off about it, as i use my camera so often. has anyone that has the camera crash tried clearing app data for the camera? or even tried running a fix_permissions?

I've experienced the camera multiple HDR+ picture crashing also. It happens to me on every single AOSP ROM except Omni for some reason. Doesn't occur on stock either (haven't tried it on M).

yes, done all of that. Just did it again for fun. I also tried getting rid of "photos", using the stock gallery instead...which effectively disabled any cloud sync stuff. Still crashes.
I'll summarize again: crashes only when using HDR+ and taking pictures quickly. If you wait 5-6 seconds between shots it doesn't crash. However, if it does crash it will delete all the photos you took.

I do have the same problem but only when it has less than 40% battery. Camera app crash and turn off the device. It only happens with camera google app. with high battery charge does not happen at all.

well, Play Store just updated me to 2.5.052 Camera. My fingers were crossed. Still crashes if you take HDR pics too quickly, in succession.

It still crashes on HDR pics

I can confirm that running 100% stock nexus6 5.1.1 rom (with root), the camera does not crash no matter how hard I try. As much as I like chroma and the other aosp based roms, I guess I'll stick to stock for now.

I'm on terminus, and now m, and have not had a camera crash. so you don't just have to stick with stock.

Huawei P20 Pro Google Photos crashing issue

Preordered my p20 pro and was very excited. It's been an amazing phone. However, my default photo gallery has always been google photos, I have so many photos stored in the cloud through Google Photos. But the app on my p20 pro seems to not work, it constantly crashes. I've tried everything to fix it to my knowledge but nothing is working. After about 10 seconds it just crashes. I thought it was initially struggling when it said "getting photos" so I removed my google account, but the app still crashed!
Really frustrating, open to any suggestions and please let me know if you have the same issues, hopefully I'm not alone.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Mine works and loads, but swiping between photos is quite jittery...even though it was silky smooth on my old phone! Really disappointing software optimisation for a new phone

Mine won't even do as much as yours! So frustrating! Hopefully a future update will fix

Working fine here

All good for me too, finding it strange that some people are having issues that others don't have. It's smooth and fast loading for me just like Google maps, another app people are having trouble with.

I'm having trouble with Google maps

1.07 solves the maps issue. My photos working great.

It's pretty frustrating that we don't know when these updates will actually be live to every user...I haven't had any updates and am thinking of returning in my returns window just incase nothing comes through... Pretty frustrating!

I have no issue with Google Photos. It sync between my pixel 2 and p20 pro nicely. App performance is good with no crash as well.
I only had maps issue on .106 but .107 fixed it.

It's like that with pretty muchevery phone bar pixel and OnePlus. Always dependant on the network/carrier for them to get a move on and release the updates.
I'm still on the first firmware with Three but then again I don't really care so much as I am having none of the issues with Maps or Google Photos etc.
I had a sync issue with Chrome but I fixed it with a factory reset.

I'm still stuck on 102

Try turning off the smart resolution option and see if that resolved crashing or freezing issues. Then refresh the resolution by switching back and forth once to the one you want ... This fixed Google maps for me

For me it doesn't crash but switching between photos is always a little laggy. If I go to the playstore and uninstall the google photos updates the lag is gone. So for me it is working fine with an older version but not with the current one. A friend of mine has the exact same issue. We were both on .106 (dual sim) and now on .107.

Thanks for this! It's been bugging me seeing that lag
Hope they get their act together though

Still not working for me! Any other fixes for Google photos... Is there a way to get this reported properly?

Its look like its not the good cpu witch is used that why.. i dont find any fix. (i dont use this software...)

I get that it says to connect my charger to sync my photos. And when I do it still doesn't sync.
The thing is that the option for choosing sync when charging or not charging is gone from the app. And I want it to always sync, not only when charging!

How do I uninstall updates via Google Play? Having this problem too.

Camera glitch

Every time I open the camera, I am greeted with a speech bubble tutorial that mentions the aperture mode.
I'm not even ON the apperture mode. In fact, if you go to the apperture mode, the tutorial DOESN'T pop up.
It ONLY pops up on the regular, default photo mode.
It annoying and shouldn't keep popping up every time.
I'm pretty sure it didn't do this before the OTA that I got last week.
Anyone else?

I use Open Camera. It's great - it actually integrates with Google Photos, so I can jump between the two apps; the Honor one pretends google photos doesn't exist. One downside of open camera is you can't disable the shutter sound (apparently it only lets you do that if the phone supports it).

Have you tried clearing cache and data of the default camera app?

Yep. Nothing fixes it. I'm certain it was the most recent update that did this.
There are loads of other bugs I've noticed since the update.
Changing text size to small and rebooting the phone results in the font size being reset back to medium.
Google photos is incredibly laggy now.
Phone signal is terrible.
Video quality decreased.
Battery life seems poorer.
Hoping the Pie beta invite comes soon. Wish I could roll back while I'm waiting.

Google photos washed out

I have the tencent version, 128GB.
Somehow when the photos are fully loaded on google photos, it will look very washed out, with loss in contrast.
But when you are swiping the next photo or editing it, it will look as it should.
Anyone has any idea? I am guessing the icc profile is not loading properly :crying:

I'm having the same issue, only happening with Google Photos, once loaded.
Couldn't find any related settings to remedy it.
Anyone else facing this?

Me too
I dont know the reson
Maybe an update will fix this

This happens on my razer phone 2 as well. Hopefully googs fixes it.

tried to use older version of Photos and this did not happen. Must be a problem with compability between the phone and the app.

Zenfone 6 have same issue. Back to previous version of Google Photos fix the problem.

What version of google photos to be exact? This thread remains open ended.

What on earth is OPPO playing at with the new update I've just received on my X5 Pro

I have just had CPH2305_11_A.18 pushed to my UK X5 Pro with the April security update and now scrolling in the Google play store is unusable, It's a complete stuttery mess!
I've rebooted twice and still the same, It's so bad It's unreal and not been tested.
This has to be to be down to these stupid LTPO displays messing about with the refresh rate constantly and what makes matters worse OPPO do not have any option whatsoever like Samsung to force 120Hz all the time whether it's in the display options or dev options.
Can someone test this out with the new update, It's a total mess for scrolling in the play store now since the update.
How do we report bugs to OPPO?

Weird it seems to be a little smoother now, I still don't think this variable refresh changing is helping to keep things smooth.

Hey, just tested play store. Yes not the smoothest experience. Seems to get confused between down and sideways swipes. It works fine on an actual list of items.
Glad to see the power button can now actually be a power button. They're clearly listening

Yes it wasn't like that when I got the phone it was smooth in the play store and 100% correct it keeps scrolling sideways even though I am not, No Idea what's going on but it seems a right mess to me.
For sure I was definitely missing that feature with the power button and now they have fixed that at least, I guess they take users feedback which is a positive.

hi there,
i use this to force the 120hz all the time, dont know if will help you with your problem.

Hey thanks for that I think someone else suggested that which worked for YouTube but I wonder if this is a newer version and works with Instagram also I'll give it a go thank you!

Updates seem to always have a processing period where the first few hours/days would have issues in lag. Once the update has finished (including adapting to other apps), it works better.

Apparently, it takes time for the 3rd party apps to adapt to the new update. It is especially true when you're in Beta version.

i agree there are micro stutters gitters throughout the ui on new update. like pulling down notification panel also.

That app doesn't work for me Google photos is a slow refresh rate, but if I use the one from the Video it works great.
The stutter like pulling noticificafion bar down has always been there with the Video app even after factory resetting :/
