Camera Issues S8+

[ZenoKnite]

Sometimes I open my camera and get this weird issue. Any of you experiencing this. I think my lemon s8+ is really really messed up. I've taken it into a Samsung Authorized repair shop 3 times now for different issues. Also, I think my charging port is messed because I get sometimes get moisture detection notification randomly and I ain't anywhere near water. Any insights or similar experiences on any if these issues? Thanks!

Did you try a factory reset? Most of the times, it might be due to another app that is trying to access the camera.

A reset should fix this issue.

not yet. but will monitor it when I do.

this means another application is using your camera. this can be suspicious if you have no other app that you know of using the camera. Try to close all apps before using camera.

also on that note, try to deny camera permissions on apps that use camera such as whatsapp, facebook, snapchat etc..

yea will definitely keep that in mind. I was thinking it was some other apps interfering. I restart my phone to fix it in the meantime

try clearing your camera cache before attempting a factory reset
also before performing a factory reset, make sure you back up all your data :)
