When you start your nexus without a SD card inserted and start the camera, what does happen?
Does the camera start and you can see but can't capture, or doesnt start at all and crashes?

Im debugging an issue here, thanks!

 

hm, please, i need to check if my phone is messed up

 

hm, interesting
and does it distort the image while doing so?

 

that's very good, my camera might not be actually broken, but it could be just the SD card
thank you so much!

if someone else has it happening the same way, please share
