Sep 19, 2013 12:54 PM in response to smevansby wcferr01,I am having the same exact problem on iPhone 5 after upgrade. After switching to the rear camera, the Camera app freezes. After closing the app and a soft reset it will unfreeze the app, but the problem occurs again. Facetime will work with the front camera, but not the rear. Tried three hard resets, setting up as new phone, with no luck.

Sep 19, 2013 2:56 PM in response to wcferr01by smevans,I spent some time on the telephone with Apple Support today but they were not able to resolve the issue despite a full reset and installation of a fresh copy of ios 7. They are consulting their engineers and I might hear something tomorrow. The Facebook issue you mentioned is also present on my phone.

Sep 23, 2013 7:24 AM in response to smevansby smevans,The Apple engineers simply wanted more information about the fault. Apparently I am the only caller Apple Support have had regarding this problem. May I suggest others with the problem call the free support number and register the fault so the Apple are aware that this is not an isolated occurence.

Sep 24, 2013 11:05 AM in response to smevansby Sargentmachine,I held down icons to wobble stage. Apparently it gives the phone a nudge. Solved issue instantly.

Sep 24, 2013 3:42 PM in response to smevansby xtremecarbon,Unfortunately, I am having this issue as well.
I don't believe it's software related; this just happened while I was running iOS 6.1.3. Updated my iPhone 5 to 7.0 and it's still happening. On my second restore (DFU, setup as new), so let's see what happens. I think I'm going to have to trek 2 hours and get my phone replaced.
UPDATE: 2 restores later, and many resets later, no dice. However, the app performs worse on iOS 7 than it did 6. Strange.

Sep 24, 2013 3:47 PM in response to smevansby wcferr01,Called the help line last night and they said it was a hardware issue and set up an appointment with the Apple store. Went to the store today and they replaced my phone. Took about ten minutes. Couldn't be happier with Apple right now.

Sep 25, 2013 10:01 AM in response to smevansby dsgoncalves,Having the same exact problem. Only the front facing camera works, when it wants to. Rear camera, forget it, black screen and from time to time it'll go blurry. Did master reset a couple of times and nothing. Scheduled an appointment at the Genius Bar, from what I've read in this thread, hopefully they'll give me a new iPhone and that'll be that.
