Help Camera getting weird on Sensation 4G!!!

The camera on my phone is getting weird lately. Sometimes it stops working, it flashes and goes right back to the homescreen. I can only get it to work again after restarting the phone. This only happens once in a while but it's kinda annoying. my sis has the same phone and she never has this prob.
And I have a bunch of apps running in the background too, like Viber, facebook, tumblr, instagram, etc. Wonder if that has anything to do with this.
Any idea?
 
I have a different problem with the camera. Once in a while, when turn on the camera, the screen then become the "view finder". There are many fine green lines show on the screen. I try to take pictures and it still work. I checked the pictures in Gallery and they look normal and without those green lines. I tried to restart the camera app but the green lines will not go away. Only when I reboot the phone, the green lines go away from the "view finder".

I've been having the same problem. The pictures turn out okay. Well, they are a little fuzzy when they're usually quite clear. I have never dropped my phone. Unfortunately, I have the worst customer service in the world (T-Mobile) and they insist on just sending me another phone. Honestly, I think it's just the phone. My phone reaches 140 degrees at time when it's just sitting on granite counter-tops. I think, it may had fried something eternally.

Thoughts?

Have you gotten the new phone from them? Any better? Unfortunately, I purchased my phone via craigslist. I don't think they will replace my phone :-(
