Hi @gladejohan
Does it look like this description ?

My advice try and see if and issue exists about it.
It seem hardware related but through different devices.

What version of UbuntuTouch do you run ?
Which channel ?

Hi

I intalled yesterday. Its 16.04 OTA-15 .
And no, it’s not seems to be the same error.

If I push the camera icon on left side screen.
Camera icon show up in the middle of the screen.
After a second,the icon disapeared.

Sorry, not shure what you mean with channel.

In system settings -> Update, you'll find a little icon in the top right.
There you'll be able to choose a "channel" for the updates.

By default you should be on "stable" there is also a development channel and the release candidate channel in order to test the system before releasing a new update.

Regarding your problem, it seems the app is crashing on startup.
Maybe the port is not complete and the drivers for the camera unreachable. That could lead to a segfault...
I'm just guessing here.

Maybe if other people with a Nexus7 can confirm that the issue is known or if it is somehow a regression in OTA15 ?

Yes, I see it show ”overall progress” 3/4.
So still work left.

But I changed channel, and recieve new updates.
Thanks for the info.

Soon OTA 16 will be released.
So RC should be stable enough as well as development.

But after OTA16 reaches stable, the development channel will be used to push experimental updates. I wouldn't recommend it for a daily driver.
But we always need people to commit into testing that's why devel and its daily updates is for.

I can confirm that camera, bluetooth and side stage are all broken using UT on Nexus 7 LTE 2013 (deb). Frankly, based on the device's age, I don't think fixes are going to get made any time soon, or should be made a priority. It would be really nice if more up to date 7 or 8 inch tablets were ported to UT though.
