WARNING: Camera Failed‼️ Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Camera app Error

[chckenjoy]

I can't use rear camera on the default Samsung Camera App. It started a few days back when the error keeps popping up just before One UI update 5.1. I have no problem using the rear cam with other apps like Messenger, Instagram, Tiktok and any other apps. 

I already tried everything I read online and on the support page of the Samsung website: 

- Cleared cache & data for Camera app & Gallery app

- Reset camera settings

- Wipe cache partition

- Restart phone

- Start in SAFE MODE (but the error still happens there)

& last but certainly not the least (most hassle solution listed): 

- FACTORY RESET 

but still the error did not go away and I still can't use the Camera app (if in rear setting). 

I am now using Open Camera because I still need to use my cam but IT'S NEVER THE SAME. 🥺🥺🥺 

If anyone can help me please? 

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

So the problem occured even before updating to latest version?

[chckenjoy]

I am not so sure if the phone was already updated to 5.1 last March 22 (the day the error happened), or not yet. But there was a pending OS update notification that day.

But yes, the error occured before I updated the OS to the latest version.

What is your current OS version?

[chckenjoy]

I think it's 5.1

It still occurred even before and after updating and factory reset? Does it only happen in the default Camera app? Does it happen on the front camera?

[chckenjoy]

Yes, the error still appears and the app force closes even after update and factory reset. The front camera works fine. The error only appears when I switch to rear cam. 🥺

I also checked SAFE MODE, and the error still happens.

Try to downgrade thr OS version using Odin.

Thanks! Researching now how to do this.
