iPhone 4S Camera, Camera Roll and Photo Stream crashing

[jimbo-joneso]

Hey guys. I have been using my iPhone 4S for a few days now and its been working perfectly. Yesterday I made a screen capture and ever since then I can't view my camera roll or photo stream. I can launch my camera app and it looks like I can take a photo but as soon as the shutter closes, the camera app crashes.

When I go into the Photos app, I can see the albums but if I click on camera roll or photo stream the app crashes. When I click on photo library it say I do not have any photos on my phone... but I can click on all my other albums and I can view the photos like normal. I have tried to turn off the icloud photo streaming and it doesnt help.

I probably will just restore my phone and start over, but I was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem and fix for this without restoring their iphone 4S.

Anyone?

Same problem - iPhone 4 with IOS5

Having the same issue, took a photo with the volume button, but now camera roll, photo stream and camera app all crash when attempting to use them. I can view some photos from the camera app prior to taking a photo, but they are out of order and only show the thumbnail version i.e. low res. Also can't view the photo i took that seemed to cause these issues.
Very frustrating, i've had my phone for a long time and resetting everything to get it all working is not an attractive fix. Could go back to the restore in iTunes from when i did the IOS5 upgrade, but would rather a proper fix.

Just discovered this bug on my iPhone 4 with ios5. Was just thinking how cool it was that pictures I took on my iPhone appeared magically on my iPad. It did this a couple of times but now I can't even take a photo on my iPhone without it crashing. Can't even launch the photos app.

I hope someone finds a solution. Disable iCloud has no effect.

Suggestion by Baruchg worked for me.

Hope Apple fix this soon as camera access from lock screen and photo stream were two of the coolest ios5 features, and they seem to be implicated.

worked for me

Great thanks - worked for me. Used PhoneDisk to do the backup and deletion of photo db. Took 2 attempts for me, not sure why - but worked a charm the second time. Only little niggle as it nuked my synced photo libraries - but since these were synced from my laptop no trouble getting them back (had to remove the synced folders in itunes and re-add them).

Solution worked for me as well. I also manually deleted all the photos in my photostream with the software since turning off photo stream wasn't deleting them and that was also corrupt.
