Camera Failed After Android Update for S20 Ultra

[j_louise]

I have a Samsung s20 ultra purchased in 2020. I installed the android update on Wednesday and my camera will not work since then (warning: camera failed msg when I open app). 

so far I have

reset camera app

cleared camera cache and data

hard reboot of phone

Cleared cache partition 

factory reset phone

the camera fails in all, including safe mode before and after factory reset

Please provide a fix for this. I purchased this phone specifically for the camera. A link to roll back the update would be great.

Thanks

I had the same problem, same time, took it to a certified repair shop, 2 new cameras later told me it's probably a software issue

I found a work around. I downloaded an app called Ai capture. It allows you to manually select which camera you want to use before it launches it. 

I've noticed that with mine, everything but the rear secondary camera labeled as hardware 2, the one that's the 100x, and it will work. 

Other than that, someone at Samsung dropped the ball.

On some things, yeah Samsung dropped the ball, the Camera on the S20 Ultra wasn't one of them.
