Brand New Nexus 6P Camera Issues - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever I try to open the stock camera app it instantly closes then the message "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped." pops up. It does this every time even after multiple restarts. I have tried downloading multiple different camera apps as well however it only opens the front camera and has no option to switch to the rear one. I am running 6.0.1

did you root? update? flashed firmware?

Did you flash a modified boot.img when you rooted? It has been known to break the camera. I would switch to systemless root. I had the same issue where nothing would work for the camera (stock, Snapchat, Instagram, etc). I don't recall mine crashing, but it just showed a blank screen and never loaded the camera picture.

weird, try factory rest I guess that is the only option you have. Try to disable/force stop the camera app in setting>app before.

How would I do that and would doing so void my warranty or my ability to return the phone?

No, you won´t lose your warranty
1) go to this link and read the flashing instructions : https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
2) download this image : https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/angler-mmb29p-factory-25ed9560.tgz

Thanks for the instructions but I do not feel confident carrying out the task and I have a feeling it might be a hardware rather than a software issue. At the moment I will just take the phone back to the shop I got it from.
Thanks for your help though

Unable to connect to the camera because it is being used by other apps or disabled...

Unable to connect to the camera because it is being used by other apps or disabled due to security policies.
This is the error message I keep getting whenever launching my camera. I've tried factory reset but the error still persists. I can try and get a logcat but I'll be completely honest I've never done my own logcat before.
Any help appreciated, thanks for looking.
Does your camera work after a fresh reboot? Does it stop working after awhile? There might be a runaway app hogging your camera. Usual culprits are camera apps, face unlock and custom lockscreens.

Rebooting doesn't help. The front camera works fine until I switch over to the rear camera.
Did you change anything in the build.prop?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I added the line to add navigation bar to phone (it doesn't work)
From my experience so far with the Axon 7, tweaking certain things on the build.prop crashes the phone. When I tried to make enable multi-windows by changing the "user" to "userdebug", it caused the same problem you were having. Nothing fixed it; not restarting, system wipe, changing the build.prop to its original setting... nothing. I simple had to restore my phone from a previous backup. Hopefully, you did do a clean backup of your device. If not, then that is a common rookie mistake. Sorry to break this down to you. I hope that this was helpful.
Only time I've seen this error, is when I downloaded a different camera from the Playstore and tried to open it the same time my stock camera was running in the background.
You don't have any other camera's installed or have an app that is open that uses your camera (like Snapchat, ect..)?
I'm sure you don't, but just throwing something out to try/check.
Just restore system from previous backup like B4oE said, if you did not make a backup just download one of the twrp backups uploaded by the users around the forums. make sure to download the correct version either b20 or b20_boot. what version are you on? did you root using tenfar + locked bootloader?

I rooted with an unlocked bootloader. I imagine I need b20-boot then?

Yup, you can use the system uploaded by DrakenFX I guess.

I just ended up deleting the stupid camera and installing OPEN CAMERA from play store and it works 10000 times better.

Unauthorised actions have been detected

Since switching back to stock lollipop firmware from a custom rom, I'm continuously seeing this message "Unauthorised actions have been detected" in my notification bar. When I open it, it takes me to smart manager where I've got an option of reboot. After rebooting it takes me to TWRP, nothing else happens after TWRP opens.
Any fix for that?

TWRP may be the cause of this. Or root, if present.

But if I delete this system app, would I lose another function too? I mean does this app lead to another system function like SystemUI and other system apps do?
Sorry for bad English.

Hmm yes I'm thinking to go for android 4.3 now rather then 5.0.1.
Depending on the model of you phone, I'm not sure if you can downgrade to 4.3 from 5.01. If you can't, Odin should not flash the ROM.

Another way I observe:
Is to delete every entries Knox-related from init.rc on the ramdisk. But it only reported to work on i9500, since I'm doing the same on SM-J200G some of them still report this one.

Anyone have a problem? Filters in Camera and Gallery not working,crash

Hi,
Does anyone have a problem whereby the filters in camera and gallery, if you press it, the app crashes?
I just noticed mine.
Anyway to fix it? Without redownloading and flashing a whole stock rom? Like reinstalling those apps?
Rooted and on TWRP here.
That because you have your bootloader unlocked.
To fix, flash the stock recovery and the flash the OTA update B151.

Unlocking the bootloader will have a 33% chance to have problems. Like the camera or battery

It is caused by the build.prop file, use es file explorer to enable read and execute write permissions. I've been 4 days busy fixing this problem, I logged on xda only to write this message, thank me

Camera not working properly after taking couple of pics

Does anyone faced the same issue?
Camera works properly for first couple of photos but after that apps just keep processing last clicked pic and click button is not shown, pic is never saved in gallery and camera app needs restart.
I am using latest official Android nougat 7.0, not rooted, default camera app and using memory card for storing pics..
Update : same thing happens when using internal memory for storing pics.
Mention ROM, camera app, memory used for storing photos etc etc

Why factory reset is needed?
Upgrade an OS sometimes brings bug(s) to it.
Factory reset will make your phone like a fresh install.

There is a file called update script in the zip that file needs to be edited using notepad++, there are some lines of code in the starting of that file that needs to be modified. I haven't checked it out yet but I'll try to make a flash able zip for twrp as soon as I'm free.

It can be flashed via the proper recovery for x3_row. But, yeah, system shouldn't be modified before applying OTA.

Or you can just flash the zip as-is using x3_row (X3a40) recovery available here.
