Camera problems with new nexus 7

[lagtalk]

I had problem can't connect to camera so went into settings then updated from there to 4.4.2 which seems to have fixed problem

For #4, I got that pop up too where it said the camera was unavlable. Does anyone know how to make it available again?

How do you restart it?

I see that people have stopped posting replies to this thread. I bought a Nexus 7 2013 for my Dad, and one of his main purposes of use was to skype-communicate with my sister living abroad. The tab received the latest 4.4.2 update. Everything was working good. The rear camera also was working good. Then suddenly when I turned Skype on, and tried video calling, the call ended without connecting and the camera crashed. Even in the camera app, when I tried rotating the camera from the settings menu (to use the front camera), the camera app crashed. From then on, whenever I tried turning the camera on, it kept saying "Could not connect to camera". ONly after I went to App setting, deleted the cache and the data of the camera app, the camera app started afresh.
Why is this issue not resolved by Google yet? The issue, as I see, is not with the Skype, but with the front camera of the Nexus 7 2013. What's the deal? Can anyone confirm to have solved this problem?

It's definitely with the camera app. I don't know of any fix. Sometimes the camera app will cause my device to suddenly shut off and reboot.

Go to apps camera and clear the cache in the camera app. Also maybe restart the device

do you all have updated the new camera app now? the format is different now.

here is my problem. i was using it one day, then the camera button is not press-able any more. here is a pic. i had to close the cam app, and restart it again.
