Camera flash issues after Bell update

Ever since I've updated my N8 from Anna to Belle, my camera flash stopped working.  I did everything possible (hard reset, soft reset, reinstalling Belle, format and reinstall Belle) but nothing worked.
Apart from the flash not working at all, I also started to get "Unexpected error, restart camera".

After going through a lot of blogs and discussion forums one workaround clicked. Set the camera setting to 3MP instead of 9 or 13 MP. Now my camera works fine along with the flash. But this is short lived as when more than two applications are running in the background the same camera issues come up.

Restarting the phone is the only option. If this does not work I change the setting to 1.3MP restart the phone again and now it works.

Looking forward for a quick update to Belle with this bugfix.
