   You are not right about the FILE_URI. The app can crash even when using FILE_URI! It's a matter of memory management from Android. This behavior can easily be simulated in the following way: "It’s easy to reproduce/simulate the problem. To do so, you have to set “always destroy activities” to true in the developer settings of your Android phone. Doing so, each time you gonna take a photo, your app in the background gonna be killed and recreated (as cordova does when an Android phone is running on low memory)"
   On one of our test devices(Samsung Galaxy S5) this is also easily reproducible(without this setup) when taking photo in some kind of night portrait mode - while taking photo without light it uses some special mode which takes more time to shoot and obviously more memory.
