Application hangs / freeze when using camera.open() - Restart of device needed

My application is quite basic and simple, I just need to open the camera (Not even displaying images, I commented the code) So, basically, I have something like: ``` @Override public void onResume() { super.onResume(); if (camera != null) { //Just to be sure camera.stopPreview(); camera.setPreviewCallback(null); camera.release(); camera = null; } Log.e("DebugCam", "Before"); camera = Camera.open(); Log.e("DebugCam", "After"); } @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); if (camera != null) { camera.stopPreview(); camera.release(); camera = null; } } ``` But my logcat is just displaying the first message: ``` Before ``` The app is just hanging, and I have to restart the device to make it work again!!! I really don't understand where is the problem or how I could at least avoid the freeze that is really annoying. I really don't get how I could debug this... Edit: I have seen this on Android bug tracking, sounds like I need a workaround as the patch was released in June) https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1578
