Try it in safe mode....if it still does it then it's not likely Snapchat


Edit: I read your post again.... Is it only happening after you use Snapchat and then use then use the stock camera?
 
update still have the problem going on but i found away around it. if i open the stock camera and see that there is a delay on the picture before it crashes ,i just switch to front camera then back it stops it from cashing
 
This has happened to me a couple of times now too after I installed the June 1st update (Sprint).
 
This is happening to me to as well. I have found a temporary fix until Snapchat decides to acknowledge this problem. Uninstall Snapchat, install a previous version .apk file of the app instead. I have version 57.00.00 and it seems to be working fine. Turn auto-updates off for snapchat in the app store.
 
Thank you for this post! I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out why my camera "randomly" crashes. Turns out it's not random at all...it only happens after using Snapchat. Very reproducible.
 
I have recently experienced the same issues as well. What works for me is similar to mikeblade82 - if you switch the camera while it lags from front to back or vice versa, it unlags and works. I've managed to reproduce the issue pretty consistently. When I leave my snapchat app on the back camera and try to open up the stock camera app while its left on the front camera - I get the camera failed message 100 percent of the time. If I put my camera on the front on the snapchat app and open my stock camera with the similar configuration - no problem at all.

Have you guys reached out to snap chat ? More complaint maybe they get update out faster.
 
Maybe this is my problem too... I just made a post. my camera crashes sometimes and it had trouble focusing when I was making a video on Snapchat.
