Default Phone Crashes on Using Front Camera While Video Chatting

I tried using Front Camera for Google+ Hangout, Yahoo Messanger Video Chat, Skype, Tango but my phone crashes instantaneously.

though I can make video calls

Currently I am running non rooted Galaxy i9003.

Anyone noticed same. I tried searching everywhere but seems that there is no fix for this problem.

Yes, I am facing the same Problem and I can not find a fix as well. Try using a custom ROM, it should work. So far I have faced this problem only with G+. Skype works fine!

Nope still crashing. Does this problem exist only in stock rom or I will never be able to do video chat using this phone.

I think It don't even work for any App on Play Store. Just flashed MIUI still no luck it reboots everytime I try to use Front Cam for video chatting.

If you want stock, try JPKPH, it's the latest "Arab region" firmware (the one with the new lock screen).
It's stable and has camera improvements, so maybe they fixed that.
