Camera app

[bigjay1641]

The default Google camera app sometimes freezes or crashes. Are there really any good third party apps?

I have never had that issue, however there have been some good discussions on different camera apps here on the forum. Two that seem to be highly recommended are ProShot, and Manual Camera.

Do you have any other apps with Camera permissions (like flashlight apps)? If so, try uninstalling them and see if the problems go away.

I don't believe I have any other apps that use camera permission. I may try out Proshot

I've already logged well over a thousand pics on this thing and I've only hit a couple of FCs and hangs... it's been rock steady. The issue might not be with the camera app itself, but with the camera sub-system. Give Pro Shot or Manual Camera a look though, maybe they'll work out.

Have you tried anything to clear the issue? Clear the app data and cache on the Camera app? Have you done a factory reset at any point, etc?

I have done two factory resets before but have never deleted the cache

Just thinking of troubleshooting steps. Either the app is having issues or the camera system is... If the app is a problem, the resets would have fixed it.

If the camera system is wonky, that's harder to deal with. Try a different camera app for a bit... See what happens.

Boot into Safe Mode, and see if the camera crashes. If it never does, then something you installed is probably causing the instability. https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2852139?hl=en
