Every time I use an app that scans bar codes, whether it is Google Shopper, My Movies, or any others, the camera acts really messed up and backwards. Does anybody else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Does anybody notice the same issue?
My phone is not rooted. After the official update to 2.2 (ED01) I found this problem with all apps on my Fascinate that have the scan function: google goggle, shopsavvy, amazon, etc. Sometimes they crash at starting (goggle will force the phone to reboot), but most of the time you can open the app and scan properly once or twice, then the scanner fails to auto-focus or adjust brightness or white balance, getting no response. Hitting any keys on screen or the back key will only end up with vibrating and screen-blackout. I can only exit the situation by hit home and kill the app in task manager.
I found a similar post around xda:

The problem is said to be associated with the stock Email.apk and will be gone once you run the email app. But this solution doesn't work for me.
Anyone has more idea?
I just tested out Google Shopper and Barcode Scanner with two barcodes each, and neither had any issue. Have you opened up the camera app since updating? Froyo brought about new camera firmware, so if you haven't opened Camera since updating, that could be what's causing the FCs.
The stock camera app and third-party apps like retro camera both have no issue. The picture-taking function goes well, problems only come when the app need to scan back and forth and auto adjust.

Thank you for testing that for me. Can more people try out? Am I the only one that have this issue?
If so I assume this is an individual problem that can be fixed by factory reset, although I am reeeeaaaally unwilling to do that.
My phone is all tricked out and everything works great.
I tried on my wife's phone which is stock and it has numerous issues with camera, google goggles, market, barcode scanner, etc... surprised she's not noticed. :/
Rebooted and everything worked.
Google Goggle's might have crashed and caused the initial issue.
So, maybe just a reboot will help you?
Thanks, but I have no luck with that. Roboot doesn't help at all in my case. I even uninstalled the Goggles and the other scanner apps still suffered the same issue.
Google goggles works for me

Alot of new updates have been pushed out for the apps most commonly used. Exp: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram Ect. With permissions to access microphone and camera at anytime without you evan knowing as well as reading sms messages idk about yall but seems a bit sketchy to me? Anyone else Experiencing theses as well or has something to say about it?
Anyone ever had this problem?
Google Play works, but no images load, neither screenshots, nor the app icons.
At the same time, the YouTube app starts throwing Network Errors and becomes absolutely useless (browser site working tho).
Hangouts and G+ can't log into your Google account.
Most curious thing? This problem disappears on 3G. Also, it gets away with time even on WiFi. But it appears quite often.
Does anyone have an explanation for this? Is this location related?
Sometimes it's really p***ing me off, especially when I flash a new ROM and I can't log into my G account...
I just want to know what the heck is going on...
Really, nobody had this problem? Is it only me?
I'm necrobumping this thread because I found the reason. I was recently installing Arch Linux and ran into the same problem. Not sure what's the ultimate reason for this, but it's because some Android versions set only your router as a primary DNS.
So just modify your DNS settings and use whatever nameservers you fancy, preferably the ones provided by your ISP, it won't happen again
I am at a loss for what else to do as for troubleshooting, for the most part I know what I am doing when it comes to tech/apps etc. However I have noticed something very strange, creepy too, in the last week and a half. Everytime I hang up a phone call a random audio clip starts playing on my phone. Sometimes the audio sounds like a recording (like the phone randomly recorded something while I was out and about and was replaying it. But I could not peg the location, so I figured its playing a recording, but it isn't from my whereabouts, still creepy), other times its random music clips, I wouldn't be surprised if this switches to inappropriate audio at this rate.
The audio seems to be cut at a 30-40 sec loop, yes it restarts itself and plays indefinitely unless:
I make a phone call, it stops. 50% of the time it resumes after the call.
I have to restart the phone 98% of the time to make it stop.
Or I hit the recent apps and click 'close all'. I'd like to specify only hitting 'close all' stops it, manually closing apps all apps from recents doesn't do the trick.
In my effort to troubleshoot I have tried to:
Close apps from the recents individually hoping it'd help me find the culprit app emitting the sounds. But I had no luck.
I downloaded Malwarebytes and have scanned my phone with it, it didn't find anything helpful regarding to this issue.
I have checked my android filesystem through the file explorer thoroughly trying to look for MP3's or any other relevant audio files.
I have gone into app info screen and force stopped almost all media apps such as spotify, youtube, instagram, fb etc any app that I may suspect to be playing audio in the background or an app I may have used recently. Force stopping it all yielded no results.
I even went into developer settings and dug into the running services, and cached processes and started killing them all one by one and it still didn't stop the audio!
I also made sure I didn't have any hidden or suppressed notifications making it so that the app playing the audio wouldn't appear in the notification panel.
The got the phone mid July, when I got it I factory reset it twice (it's just something I do with new phones). I set it up as a new phone, I am not a fan of letting Google/Samsung restore apps. I did restore the call log and messages through the Samsung backup service.
I haven't noticed any unusual drain that may have been caused by this issue. I would consider myself a power user and use my phone quite a lot through the day. I don't download random apps, most games I play are paid (fortnite/pubg being an exception) so I doubt it's some silly game throwing ads at me. I have Adhell installed and configured properly to filter out 80% of the ads on the phone. So while I could just go ahead and factory reset my phone, my curiosity would like me to get to the bottom of it. I found one more similar thread on the internet about something like this, here is the link to it. It's mostly inconclusive for the most part however the symptoms mentioned are similar to mine.
I have a feeling there is something going on at system level. I should also note the audio channel the audio is playing through is not the "Media" channel, because while this audio plays in the background, even if I play a song on Spotify or play a video on YouTube, this would continue to play on top of it. It persist even after the screen is locked! Interesting part is I can control its volume through the Media slider however.
I know this sounds like a creepypasta story but its been creeping me out the past few days. I genuinely thought someone was spying on me the first day or two before I bought into those big brother is watching conspiracy theories. But I am not located in the United States and I am sure no one is spying. But I have cleared all sensitive files from my phone just in case.
Any help or further troubleshooting ideas would be appreciated, I wish I could troubleshoot on demand too, but this happens once every five phone calls I take. So reproduction has been a pain. I hope this is the right forum to post in, I'd post in galaxy s9 forums, but I feel this is more in this forums ball park.
Why don't you ask it in here?
There is a section for Galaxy 9 Plus.

Hi all, how is it going?
This issue is making me go crazy, to show you all my risolve in solving this matter, i would happily make a donation to your website, if it is possible to solve this, please.
I use telegram, google chrome, yandex, notepads, pdf readers etc...
All of a sudden, every twenty mins ish, they refresh out of the blue.
So, im on telegram, and boom, the chat im reading goes to the bottom.
When i use chrome, it refreshes on its own. But not like page refresh, more like the screen turns black for a second and then the page refreshes.
Same for my pdf readers.
No, i have disabled all auto refreshes on the apps.
So then i open 3c task manager and i see this app/process/service appearing right after i get the weird refreshes:
com.google.android.gms.unstable
Which belongs to google play services.
I have watched that for a long time. When this process starts my apps have the weird refreshes.
The only app immune to this bug is firefox.
I uninstalled play services many times, deleted its datas and cache.
The problem is still here.
I ve logged out of all my google accounts too.
What can i do, please?
Im using android 6
No root
Thanks for your time. Regards
com.google.android.gms.unstable
