My phone is turning on the camera app, sometimes just by moving the device. Is there any way to turn that thing off? it's getting tiresome now and then...
 
Either you have some app or setting set to run the camera app when the phone gets moved or, if you have a hardware camera button, it's too sensitive.
 
If you are running Jelly Bean ...

- Did you do a Factory Data Reset after upgrading from ICS?
- If you did you could try running in Safe Mode (disabling all apps you added without uninstalling them) and if the problem stopped it is caused by an app that you added.

Hi Thom, I didn't do the Factory Data Reset, I'll search how to do that... will that destroy the apps & data that I have?
 
Yes. It will delete the data and all apps that you added. It should not be entered into casually. It is highly recommended that it be done after any major system upgrade because really odd things can start to happen over time that have no explanation.

You could try Safe Mode first but the results will be inconclusive.

As was pointed out it could be a hardware issue.
