Default Camera360 and Samsung Skyrocket...Bad Combo

Hey all,

I have tested every single third-party camera app out there and I personally found Camera 360 to be the best. Vignette runs perfectly on this phone but I honestly hate it. I don't see why people like this replacement so much.

Anyways,
I have used Camera360 a few days now and have tried really hard to get it stable. It simply isn't. It crashes constantly at any point during every single launch and use. And forget it if you happen to get a notification of any type! It will instantly crash and freeze the screen with error. Doesn't matter what type of app is sending the notification. It happens every single time.

I really love this Camera app as a replacement to the default app. Has many cool features. However, wondering if anyone with this phone has gotten it to work 100% stable?

I've tried everything and applied a number of changes and/or tweaks I found online but none help. After it crashes, if I go in and delete the cache from the application and launch it again, it work a bit better and much longer before it eventually locks up my phone again.

Any tips to get this working would be great!

Thanks!

kr3g3r,

Thanks for the comments. Anything special you had to do? Has it EVER crashed on you?

I just don't understand. Why? Well I tested it out when I got the phone, tested it after rooting and tested it again today after so many changes and heavy modification. Still highly unstable. The instant freeze and reboot when a notification comes in is super annoying.

Anyone else have an issue or some suggestions to get this working properly?

Thanks,

--mike

I also have no problems with Camera360, I just installed it and used it, didn't have any special config. Using TPC v3 on Rogers S2 LTE.

Total noob question, Camera 360 Ultimate?
For some reason I thought it was a paid app, if it's free I am in.

djtyres,
It is actually completely free!
The reason I posted this is because I did try all other options, including all the paid apps. I found this one to be the best.

Man, I wish it wasn't so damn unstable.
I am hoping that someone here can provide some sort of solution.

Did you try deleting and reinstalling the app? Camera360 runs perfectly on my Skyrocket (stock). Also, are you running if from the internal memory or have you moved it to the microSD card? And where is your default picture folder?

Hi Budge,

Yep...trust me...I have done everything. I uninstalled the app and went into all directories (I'm rooted) and found every single trace of it, including cache, and deleted everything. I then rebooted and re-installed. It was working fine for about 5 minutes and then it crashed again.

After some research, I found some who stated to go into app management and clear the cache. I did that and it still crashed.

As far as your other questions...

I install all my apps on internal memory only. I tried it with the default directory and with a custom path to the external SD card...still no luck man. It really is upsetting, considering just how many hours I have spent trying to fix this. That should tell you how much I really was impressed with it.

Default Crash...

LOL! See, I told ya so. I just can't figure it out.

Keep me posted...I'm curious as to how well it works for you.

If possible and you have some free time, test it the following way...

Load the app and start fiddling with all menus and all available features. In the process of doing this, take a few pictures with the new settings you chose and preview it and then go back quickly to main app and keep messing with it. Wondering if that will make it crash with you? As I stated, a very quick and simple test is to send yourself a notification of some sort (SMS, Email, App sync, etc.). Let me know if it survives! Notifications I have have both a ringtone and set to always vibrate.
