So there was another reason for why I got it on my Galaxy S3. I was using a TextureView to show my camera preview and got this dreaded error when pressing the home button after a successful preview and then entering the app again. In the onResume() function I started up the preview again and found that I had not released the SurfaceTexture instance variable in the onSurfaceTextureDestroyed() function.

I added the release line to this function and it now looks like this and works perfectly:

@Override public boolean onSurfaceTextureDestroyed(SurfaceTexture surface) {
    mSurfaceTexture = null; //This was the offending culprit.

    releaseMediaPlayer();
    releaseVideoRecorder();
    releaseCamera();

    return false;
}
