My Tab 7 will randomly take multiple pictures without any input from me - I have deleted as many as 900 pictures of the inside of the case and been woken at night by the shutter sound going off continuously.
I have tried removing permissions for Camera to disable it but now get multiple notifications that I need to allow permissions in order for Camera to take pictures (46 notifications when I opened the tablet just now).
Can anyone tell me how to prevent either of these behaviours?
I am seriously considering switching to an iPad.

Remove the case. See if the behavior continues.

Android Debug Bridge. Download platform tools. Enable dev options (Google how to). Enable ADB debugging. Connect to PC. Run platform tools in power shel. Do ” adb devices “ to verify your device is connected. Then do “ pm uninstall -k --user 0 package name” replace package name with that apps package name, which you can find using the package name viewer app. Then reinstall with “ pm install-existing package-name “. If you did not get how to start ADB you can Google a better guide, but those commands are how to uninstall and reinstall.
