I'm having the same problem, but only when opening the camera in portrait mode. If I open it in landscape, it works fine.

same issue
FIX FOUND

Just ran into this problem where the camera app would FC after launch. The problem is Last Pass and the new app integration they introduced recently. You have to disassociate the camera from Last Pass and the problem is gone. The setting is in the last Pass options.

Having the same issue since I installed all my apps and did play store updates. It only crashes when I go into portrait mode. It works fine as long as I stay landscape.
Tried removing Snapchat, vine, all camera related apps. Closed camera. Deleted cache, clear data.
I thought maybe it was the sd card. That didn't fix it either. I'm stumped. Sending HTC and email.

I've just found that if I go into the app in landscape mode, go to Settings\Reset to default, then go into portrait, it works fine until the app is closed/reopened.

This is exactly my problem

I emailed htc from my corporate email so they should get back to me fast

Thanks for that, it isn't a "big" deal now that I realize I can turn the phone and get it to work but it was maddening until I read that here.

Thanks to @mentallo in this post, it's now fixed for me.
The problem was the new lastpass app integration. To fix it: -
Log into the Lastpass app
Open Preferences
Edit App Associations
Select Camera
Change it to 'Do not show fill window'

Confirmed for me well, thanks for passing it along.

Many thanks for that! It was driving me crazy. I hope LastPass do something about this...

What if I don't have LastPass and never have? Currently, it just shows a black screen in portrait mode but works in landscape. No crashing at least!

same with me; I have no lastpass app
And clear data from the camera app, and re-power to safe mode. But it didn't make work camera app?
Did anyone still couldn't find a solution?
I need an urgent help, please?

My problem was with a rotate app that I had installed which was interfering with the camera app. I ended up using an app called Rotate by FaMe IT. Auto doesn't work but Forced Auto does work. If you have "Enable per App settings" unchecked, then the stock camera will be black on Portrait mode. I also deselected the "Show Selection Popup".

I bought my m8 yesterday. My camera has never worked. I don't know what to do please help me about it? I have Htc One M8 without camera

m8 camera crashing
I am having the same problem with the camera crashing in portrait mode immediately upon opening the app, but not crashing or at least not crashing right away in landscape mode. I've had my m8 since it came out and have not had any problems until recently. I do not use last pass but do run Roboform. After reading these posts I disabled Roboform and camera works even in portrait mode. Have been trying to find an option in Roboform's settings similar to the last pass fix, but so far nothing. Is anyone familiar with Roboform or have any suggestions? I run Roboform on my laptop as well for easy syncing and never had problems before this. Thx

This is an older thread, but I just ran into the problem, so I figured I would post an update.
My camera started doing this a few days ago, and I started suspecting hardware because I don't have any apps that accessed the camera. Or rather, so I thought. It turns out that the banking app I use can take pictures of checks for deposit, and that after using that app (even if I didn't use the camera) the main camera app would force close. Freezing (or at least not using) the banking app leaves the camera fully functional.
This sounds like a bug in the camera API, not the apps, but if this happens it would be wise to check all installed apps that get used frequently to see if they specify a camera permission.

After OTA 2.22.1540.3 (4.4.3), Camera app crashes on Zoe and Video Camera mode

After OTA 2.22.1540.3 (4.4.3), Camera app crashes on Zoe and Video Camera mode. I have tried disabling Xposed, and any modifcation, as well as booting into Safe mode, doesn't seem to fix it.
Is anyone else getting this issue?

lol ...your right ...mine doesn't even open it reboots the phone, and google camera force closes? what a pointless update lol. mines 2.22.401.3. Stupid camera upgrades ....were these even tested? now my media database is messed up, wont play the right sound I set. I thought there was something odd about this update, after the upgrade ...it only optimised a 100 apps ....it always did 359 apps before, wiping dalvik manually does the same, 100 apps, theres a storage issue aswell as the camera, and google camera don't work either, its not part of sense. Is it because we are rooted etc? Oh yes and art don't work for me either.UPDATE: Got ART to work, but not the cameras ...any camera to be exact, thought it might be supercid or because its unlocked but that wouldn't stop other camera apps would it?
If you have Xposed and other root system tweaking apps installed you really can't expect OTA's to go perfectly smooth, can you?
Mine is working just fine, I'm rooted but with stock recovery and no xposed.

I restored to stock before I flashed the OTA, only after the OTA did I root/run Xposed again.

Yeah, turns out it was an app conflict, mainly Google Now/Google Voice Search -- when you enable "Ok, Google" from any screen in the Google Now settings, it interferes with the Camera apps microphone access, sometimes it is able to terminate the process and use the microphone, but when it's not able to, it crashes.

Thanks much. This problem was also causing my video button to require a double press. It wasn't crashing, but the first press must disable the "Ok, Google" listening, then the second press would record the video.

Sadly i have same problem and some times i get camera not available .I am using 4k and slowmo fix.I wonder if thats the case
No, it's not a problem with the mods you're using. I have the same issues with the standard firmware without any mods applied.
Hoping for an update soon to fix these issues.
Don't update to .108 but wipe the system and flash it from scratch.
Try removing sd card and see.My problems went away (delay,stuck etc) after replacing sd card (64g sandisk ultra) back to a g.skill 32g works like charm.
That is normal,since kitkat we all have problem's with camera,there is memory problem i hope sony will fix this soon...
Hadn't any problem with mine so far, also upgraded to .108 via OTA.

I have been able to fix this issue on two Z1C phones using the following steps:
Reboot into safe mode
Clear Data and Cache for all camera apps and services
Turn off "Touch anywhere to capture" in camera settings
Uninstall SnapChat
Uninstall Skype
Reboot and voila!
Various reports online suggested that Skype and Snapchat are causing the Z1C issues, combined with the Touch Anywhere to capture feature.
This should fix your problems - although Sony still have to actually fix the firmware so that you don't have to do that
Doesn't work for me but its a problem of the camera somethimes i do photos with the Google camera and somethimes after i take the foto it freeze the app for 10 second or forever
Inviato dal mio D5503
the initial press from a fresh bootup is slow to open the camera app.
Afterwards its super quick.

HTC Camera

Hi
My HTC camera app stopped working. It's launching but I can't use any buttons or options and very often after few clicks I'm getting message that app crashed. I uninstalled all new apps but still the same.
Has anyone have any suggestions?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Clear the cameras cache. You can also try to uninstall all camera updates... It will reinstall when searching for updates.
Same issue here
I'm also having the same issue with HTC camera app. Noted this situation this morning.
Clear cache does not solve the issue.
Also noted some problems with the screen sometimes not waking up and problems with motion gestures to wake the phone.
Seems to overheat more than usual.
Any ideas?
Cheers
People gets laggy camera after "few days" ago, HTC app "Speak" is making camera laggy and unresponsive. Try uninstalling it and see if problem is solved, for me it worked. I had laggy issue. It's an update, so when you go to apps in settings, go to settings under "Speak" and choose uninstall update.
Fixed! I can confirm that HTC Speak latest update is the guilty part. I suspected that because problems have started after the last update.
In my case just uninstalling the HTC Speak upadates didnĀ“t work.
I first uninstalled the HTC Speak updates, then clear data and cache for the HTC Camera app and rebooted my HTC One M8.
Everything is fine now. Camera works without problems and motion gestures also.
Cheers!

This is why i love the internet
Been having this problem only since this morning. Camera ultra laggy & unusable, plus unable to unlock or wake the screen with motion launch!
I messaged HTC..no reply (surprise) So i was thinking of doing a factory reset..but i thought i'd check on here first.. and right there is someone with the answer to my problem.
Thanks SO much :good: you saved me having to reset my phone, and then the 'getting everything back on it' problem.
I've found solution after I reset But glad I could help! ch

Google app not working in background after Nougat

Hi all,
After updating my unrooted OP3 to official Nougat, I am noticing that Google app can no longer run in the background. That is, any Google Now or Google search that I do in the phone dissappears from the multi-tasking windows as soon as I navigate away!
I tried clearing Google app's cache, data, opted out of the beta program. Doing so does get the app to run in the background as it should but only for a few minutes before the issue persists.
I reported the issue as a bug to OnePlus days ago but no response yet!
Can anyone help with this please?

Thanks.
Aggressive dose isn't enabled.
Actually, I have even tried freezing the app from the multi-tasking windows (clicking the lock toggle at the tip right corner of Google app window) and even that doesn't work.

The lock toggle is useless. Half of the time apps are cleared even after that lock. But still your situation seems quite odd. Are you using updated version and if your rooted you can try uninstalling the app and reinstalling it.

Having a real hard time with the camera. It gets laggy at random intervals. Specially problematic with 3rd party apps (whatsapp; Instagram; snapchat). Seems like a software issue. But I maybe wrong.
