Suddenly, the camera and flashlight are not working on my Galaxy TAB device. Android throws a camera/flashlight is being used by another app issue. I have tried to uninstall the apps one by one and factory reset, but nothing has worked so far. I have run:
adb shell dumpsys media.camera > info.txt
which gives:
== Service global info: ==
Number of camera devices: 1
Number of normal camera devices: 1
Device 0 maps to "0"

Where perhaps the interesting lines from the log are:

Unfortunately, I don't have enough android knowledge to understand the issue and the possible fix. I would appreciate any hints.
