LG VX8300 Camera Interesting Issue

I have a Verizon LG VX8300 flashed to Cricket (prl 1039) obtained from the internet. Everything is fine with one exception, the camera. I have updated the firmware to the latest version t83vzv04. When I toggle to the camera, I can take like 5 pictures before it starts to behave like a drunken application. Then it eventually locks up (freezes), then resets to main screen like I never attempted to launch the camera. I have searched in the forums and applied the reset to default trick and it has done nothing. I can leave the camera on just sitting, and it will degrade in performance without taking pictures. It is almost as if the CCD gets saturated or the application buffer fills up and freezes. I currently have everything directed to the microSDHC card (512 Meg), which is nearly empty.

Should I reload the orginal verizon software (including the down grade to V01 firmware too) and then try it again? OR Should I send the phone back to the internet salesperson and request another one?

Current software specs:

SW Version
T83VZV04

PRL Version
PRL 1039

ERI Version
ERI 4

Browser Version
6.2.3.2

Get It Now Version
3.1.4.44

AVR Version
mVoice 2.15.0

MMS Version

Bluetooth Lib Version
Q301.02.13

Not trying to incite anger or criticism. I have been reading and will continue to read until I either figure out a solution or direction to take. I have been around forums since the old compuserve boarRAB and I know when to finally make an inquiry thread.

I know that I am not the resident expert within this field; hence, the question. Thanks for the advice.

i believe there is a LG thread, prob the 9900 thread, where they talk about the camera having issues...

if it were mine, i would try a firm upgrade...then reflash it...be aware of what you are doing before upgrading and make sure you get good files...

i have the 8300 flashed to cricket 1040 prl. i flashed it using the vx9800 dll and T83VZV04 (four). u will see in my previous posts that i had the same camera issues shortly after doing the flash. however, after a while the camera started to recover its full functionality. and now the camera works flawless like from he day i got the phone. give it a while to see if it starts to work again...
