i9500 (Stock MG1) - Camera keeps closing (not crashing or rebooting)

[prodigyX]

Anybody experienced the camera randomly closing on stock MG1 firmware? It's behaving as if I'm pressing the back button. No error message, no reboot, just kicks me back to my launcher's home screen. Incidentally, it takes a few seconds to reload the launcher (Next Launcher 3D) every time this happens. I have tried using only the Touchwiz launcher, but the issue remains (although the launcher reload is not as apparent after it kicks you out).

The problem isn't limited to the stock camera app; it also happens in other camera apps, like Instagram.

Any ideas? I know the camera bug was fixed in MEA, and this phone isn't rooted. The phone had MDK out of the box, and I flashed stock MG1 via Odin.

Any help is appreciated.

Hmm.. did your phone was updated to latest firmwares?

Sent MY GT-I9505/GT-N7100 and GT-S5360 to XDA

As I said, the phone has been updated to MG1, which is not supposed to have any camera issues at all. I will try MG5, but it's a bit of a mystery as to why this is happening. Maybe a factory reset will help
