Bug: Camera not supported in Android applications [not relevant]
When trying to use the camera functionality in any Android apps, the action fails and a notification displaying the error "Sorry, the Android camera encountered a problem. You may need to restart the device"
Fixed in 1.0.2

Everything has been updated, uninstalled, reinstalled and updated again - also all the way from factory defaults, but no luck. In Skype no video (not even a choice for video calls in settings), some apps recognise the cameras somehow, but say for each of them: "This funcion is not supported".
