Does any camera app work? How bout Open Camera? I say if both don't work it's hardware and if Open Camera works it's probably an app issue?

Just tried open Camera and it says failed to open camera. May be in use by other program. So I guess it's a hardware issue huh?

My guess the camera is bad.
Force stop on the stock camera to make sure it isn't interfering with open camera.
You could try Factory Reset via Recovery.

Already tried both and even did the repair function on Verizon upgrade assistant where it reinstall the firmware

Camera Initialization Error

Hey,
I got, if I open a third party camera app like Camera360 or Vignette, an Camera Initialization Error. The standard camera app works, but third party not. Why I got these Errors. How I fix it?

This there was an old problem if you remove the built in Samsung email app or use the galaxy tab one.
have you removed or using the tab one?
if so try putting them back to normal.
i've been having this same problem for a couple weeks now. camera app works, but any third-party app which uses the camera does not.
- barcode scanner
- goggles
- mirror
tried reboot. uninstall/re-install apps. they just don't work anymore, very strange.
I hadnt used the galaxy tab mail but removed the standard samsung. I search for a backup.
PS: I use Darkys 9.2
Edit: I had no backup. Should I reflash (65% battery) or can anyone upload it for me?

same to me ..
did you fixed problem ?
Had the same problem while using AutoBoy BlackBox, it's an app for video recording while driving. First the app gave a message that I have an error with the camera and cannot use it. I tried opening the camera app and gave the camera error.
I fixed it by killing AutoBoy app. Check to see what apps you have open that might be using the camera.

Did you try to clear data for the Camera app?
The message that was reported in the media as a defect is "Warning: Camera Failed" not a regular force close.

If the error persists, try a full wipe. If even with the full wipe it doesn't works... then you might have a dead camera, seek replacement.

Fix for Samsung Galaxy S5 Camera Problem [Sorta]

Ok i know a lot of you guys bought an S5 and it either came with the camera bug, or it came out of nowhere (like mine).
Well i sort of have a solution for this.
Just download the app Snapchat, for some reason this app doesn't make the camera force close since it uses it's own.
It's not the best but in order to do this:
1.Go to the camera on there
2.Just screenshot the screen.
That simple!!
Until there is an OTA update or you plan on getting a replacement, this is the only solution i have figured out so far.
If i helped any please press thanks. ?

S8 camera app

So the S8 camera app installs on the S7 edge, but it crashes every time you try to take a picture.
Anyone get it working right, or have an easy way to go back to the S7e camera app.
To go back just go into app info for the camera and uninstall updates

Thanks yeah I figured it out shortly after. Just as an FYI So far all of the S8 apps are working except the camera app and the phone app.
Also I recommend the gallery app it loads the thumbnail of pictures WAY faster.
The Bluetooth app crashes too

Bixby will load and not crash, but it doesn't have full functionality just gives you the cards off the homescreen. Voice search is not working. Although there are people working on that and there has been some progress made.

The Camera APK is working? It loaded fine for me and worked for a bit but it would crash when trying to do certain functions so I reverted back to the stock camera.
I'm not even sure what the new camera offers over the S7E nougat camera?
Sent from my Rooted Galaxy S7 EDGE on Android 7.0 Nougat, here's the instructions how to do it!
Yes actually the latest gallery apk on apk mirror works :victory:
