Ever since this morning everytime I go to use the camera app it says "Warning Camera failed". I tried restarting the phone, shutting it down and turning it back on, deleting recent apps, force stopping the camera app, deleting all camera data and cache, resetting all my settings to default, and entering safe mode to delete system cache. None of this worked.

The only thing I haven't tried yet (as far as I know) is totally resetting the phone and deleting everything, but i want to avoid that until it's absolutely necessary because I'd rather not HAVE to buy a $20 sd card to back up all my data for my $1600 phone. Also, I bought this phone less than a month ago so this is absolutely ridiculous for such a "premium" product.

If anyone has a fix for this that does not involve buying anything or deleting all my data please let me know.

(Ps. The last time I took a successful photo was on September 4th)

another app is using the camera, you might have to go into your settings -> apps and check all the apps that have permision to camera and disable it till you find the cultprit.

 

Apps such as Snapchat, instagram FB, WhatsApp

just turn off permision for camera and then try launching your camera again after a soft reset.

Tried it, didn't work. I also tried downloading a different camera app but it still didn't work. I'll try another one.

Problem solved. Something wrong with the internal components of the phone. They just gave me a replacement with a brand new screen protector though it isnt the color I wanted. My original phone was blue, this one is black. Luckily I never take my phone out of its otterbox case, but those times I do will hurt lol.

All in all I'd give this 'Samsung Experience' a 6/10.
