After three pictures the camera app stops responding no matter what rom I use and I can't figured out why anyone have any tips on how to fix this or is it hardware?
Anyone else experiencing crashes when they use the camera app, finish what they're doing, close out, use the phone and then go back to the camera? Multiple times I've used it to snap photos and exit, then come back later to launch the camera app only to have it sit, with the icon lit blue and then crash the phone after 2-3 minutes of sitting
Something similar happened within 1 hour of owning the phone for me, wife was testing out the camera and was not waiting for focus and kept tapping the shutter button, phone made the shutter sound in a continuous death loop for a few minutes and rebooted.
Yes, I have experienced a crash from the camera app too. Later, the camera had an error that wouldn't allow me to open the app at all. When I tried to open the camera it just kept displaying "Unable to initialize camera," it took a reboot to fix it. I think it was caused by opening the camera app and sleeping the phone then waking it a few times. Plus, the panorama function has failed me. It didn't crash the phone, but it just didn't work. Hopefully Motorola will address these bugs in the future but I won't be holding my breath.
Yeah it has happened to me twice

Yeah, I've had to pull the battery out to get it to reboot. Pretty craptacular - can't wait for root on this baby
It's happened twice to me. Motorola has admitted the camera app has a bunch of problems that they're working on.

Yes, Matt admitted that the camera is being worked on by Moto and partners between the crashes and the blue tint problem.
Hopefully its only a software problem that can be corrected, the camera app definitely needs some work. Maybe a 3rd party app can help us in the mean time, anybody know anything that works?
Based on recommendations, I just got Camera360.
So far it seems to be working great!
Is blue tint gone?

When the camera works, it takes great pictures. Unless you're talking about camera360?
This is something that we have to deal with when we buy a new phone. Yes sometimes the phones don't have big issues and sometimes they do. Its the curse of new phones. But im very hopefull that an update is right around the corner.

I mean is the blue tint gone with Camera 360, or is it a hardware problem
Hey there, I got this weird issue regarding x526 front camera as it's not always working. After pressing button to switch to the front camera the camera app will freeze for some time and then will display info "cannot connect to the camera". The only way to fix it is to clean dalvik / cache, but its only temporary solution.
I have tried various ROMs from 6.0 to 9.0 and different camera apps, but in all these ROMs either front camera won't work from the start or will stop working after brief usage.
Any ideas how to fix this issue? Any help will be appreciated.
Dirt in front camera
A little update to my first post. I have noticed A lot of dust in the front camera lenses. It looks like someone was trying (unsuccessfully) to fix that camera, probably from the store. I have bought this phone from Bangood. Was anyone of you in a similar position as me? I contacted Bangood and told them I want them to resend a fully working phone. Still waiting for their reply.
Hi everyone,
i wish if anyone could help me with this problem:
i´m in latest evolution X rom(4.3 build may 13) and google cam stoped working video recording (the camera hardware its fine because the stock camera was working fine) , so i tried switching to front camera an then changing to video but this caused the pop up camera getting stuck outside (photo attached), and when i try using it with stock camera app its works fine except that its doesnt come inside the phone or make any light or sound.
i tried to push it by force but it became stuck half way and still give image but again, doesnt get inside the phone.
I wish to know if anyone knows how to fix this problem or how can i force to restart the camera or something like that.
thanks and any help would be great.
I found a solution, here in XDA Is an app which allow you to control manually the pop up camera, it need to be root but apart from that works flaulessly.

Hello,
since my camera app is not working, same with apps that use the camera.
The problem is when i'm on the main camera i get a black screen (an absolute black, like if there is no signal) and the shooting button is not working. The camera works fine for selfies instead but when i switch to the rear cam the app freezes. I tryed everything from clearing data/cache, unistall and reupdate the app, nothing works even after the january update.
So whats the solution? Google team can make it to fix or do you think Is an hardware problem and i have to ask for a new unit?
It definitely looks like a hardware failure. The only thing you can try is to factory reset the phone if it still doesn't help - place a warranty claim.
