Camera.open() hangs on LG device

Question

I wrote a piece of code which records video from camera. Nothing unusual. It works perfectly on several HTC and Samsung devices with different Android versions.

But... There is a problem with LG device. LG-P970 with Android 4.0.4 hangs on Camera.open call. All I seen in logs is:

02-14 20:16:48.582: E/CameraProperties(1348): 73: initialize() ENTER
02-14 20:16:48.652: I/LGMDMUICameraAdapter(21106): Camera open, camPid = 21106
02-14 20:16:48.652: I/LGMDMUICameraAdapter(21106): getCameraDisabled = false

That's all. And if I run the application in debugger and then suspend it when it hangs, it shows that the application hangs in Camera.native_setup

I really don't have any idea how to fix this issue. I thought that creating Camera instance in Activty.onCreate is not a good idea and moved code to thread with delay, then moved to runable and executed in main thread with delay. It just doesn't work at all.

Any ideas?

Can other applications open the camera, like the the original camera app? — vRallev, Feb 14 '13 at 20:30
I've just found out the solution! I rebooted it and it started working! — user1991679, Feb 14 '13 at 20:47
Then everything is fine with the method and it seams, that your application is doing something wrong. Could post the code snippets, where you interact with the camera? — vRallev, Feb 14 '13 at 20:47
The code is exactly the same as it's written by google here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html#capture-video The first line in Activity.onCreate is Camera.open(). — user1991679, Feb 14 '13 at 20:53
