I have a problem with the camera. It always works only 1-2 minutes after restarting the phone, than crash with "Camera failed" warning. I have restarted, cleared cache and data, tried another photo app, started mobile in safe mode, put mobile to factory settings. The problem persists. Could it be a HW problem? Thanks.
I have a new observation. When the camera doesn't work, the auto-rotate screen doesn't work either. After rebooting, both the camera and the tilt sensor work for about 1 minute.
Hi, @piotrusiek720
Have you tried using Open Camera from F-droid?
I am using Open Camera on a N9 (Android 10, One UI 2.5, with June 2022 Android security patch), and also use it on a Note20 Ultra.
Before installing Open Camera, I uninstalled the Samsung camera apk and associated apps via adb.

Not sure if it is a coincidence but twice I installed the google camera app and I ended up with can't connect to camera error message even after uninstalling.
Uninstalling google camera then clearing data from the note pro camera did not fix the issue, it worked for couple of secons then kept crashing.
I have the dev rom installed
or it might be a loose cable inside, just shook the phone and it worked...
might need to lay off the drink until later on tonight.

weird, reinstalled and it finally worked.

My Nexus 6 is unable to start the camera. The google camera app hangs when it starts and nothing shows up. Earlier the camera used to open but it lagged a bit when HDR was on. Now the camera isn't opening anymore. The other apps like Instagram that use the camera are also not able to open it. The app opens up and hangs, nothing shows up just black screen and sometimes the message "Can't connect to Camera" appears. This issue came after 5.1 and I also had buzz launcher installed once but then I removed it. The phone is less than 7 months old and I bought it online from Flipkart (Indian e-commerce site).
What I've tried:
Forced stop the app (Google Camera)
Cleared cache of the app
Booted in recovery mode and wiped cache partition
Factory reset the device
Nothing worked for me, I tried these steps one by one and then tested the camera but it is still not working. Please help me with this, I paid a lot of money for this phone on my own and it feels really bad and annoying that the camera isn't functional anymore.
Thanks in advance.

You could try a different camera app.

Camera is a nightmare
Here's my issue with the camera:
I've been on lollipop for a while and I haven't had a problem with it, until the camera decided to take a vacation on me. When it comes to taking pictures, the phone crashes and an icon shows my battery is dead, this happens on a full to half life, so I'm not sure what it's trying to pull here. I've cleared and cleaned the phone, my last option is to reset, though I have a feeling this won't work, since I'll still need the latest android update, so I'm back to square one.
The latest issue Is when it comes to uploading pictures, the phone crashes with the same error sequence.
And the finally issue is the sound the device makes sometimes with the camera. Which is curious because I am careful but it looks like I'm having issues from different sources. I'd like to rule out the software side first.
For the time being, I've disabled the camera completely.

From the Google product forums it looks like a failure of the camera app to close properly after use.

Either by use of a 3rd party app that uses the camera or the flashlight. Also it seems that using face unlock can cause the issue.
That being said, and you've reset the device... Have you tried the camera right after the reset (without 3rd party apps)?

Yes, I tried the camera just after the reset and it did not work. I think the OS should be responsible to handle the apps and how are they being closed. Google is not working upto the mark on this. I still need help

Sadly, it seems like you have 2 options, sucking it up and installing another camera or RMA the device.
I wish that wasn't the case for you, I'm disappointed too. I love this phone.

Front Facing Camera and Flashlight works perfectly, well if I open a camera app, the flashlight would sometimes stop working completely and can't turn it on from the quick settings till I reboot my phone. Tried factory resetting, clearing cache, flashed another ROM all with no luck. It worked perfectly last week and all of a sudden stopped working when i was trying to take a picture. I'm thinking it's a software issue because of the flashlight problem, but i'm not to sure yet.
Anyone can help? The same thing happened on my Nexus 6 camera ??

Hello there, I'm fairly new to XDA, so I hope I can get the most help possible. I'm having this issue where whenever i start the camera, I get the error "Warning Server Error Occurred, Restart Camera" while opening the front camera. The back, however, works like a charm. What can I do to fix this? I haven't used this phone in months, before then the camera worked. But now, it stopped. I was on 5.0, but then ADB sideloaded myself to 5.1.1, then to 6.0.1. I've factory reset, cleared my cache, force stopped the camera app and cleared it's data, and even booted into safe more without any sort of luck. Is there an app I can use to fix this issue? A camera app that'll work? Or an app that fixes this? I thank you in advanced.
Bump
Having the same issues. Selecting the front camera always causes the camera app to crash. Tried other camera apps but it persist.
Any help would be great appreciated.
Hey guys, i got the latest patch with the juanuary update a few days ago, (9.0.0.191) and started noticing that the camera crash alot, i havent had asingle crash in older android versions and security patches, but now its unbearable, the camera app will take a photoand then when you check the gallery you get a infinite load screen on top of the photo, if the photo trigger the auto HDR it will crash, reopen and put "cant connect to camera", one time using hdr the photos taken had some weird green line pattern all over the photo, and the app some time will even force the device to reboot, basically my camera experience is crippled. I did a factory reset to the phone, hoping that maybe a fresh start will help, but no, so i ask you guys if someone had a similar problem or fixed something similar, or there is a way to report this bug to huawei.
I have exactly the same problem after the update to Android 9. It crashes after a day or so. Clearing the apps cache works every now and then, but most of the time I need to completely reboot. Then the camera works again for a couple of hours or maybe the whole day.
Super annoying and its sure to crash at the time when you want to take that perfect picture when something funny happens.

In my case i always reinstalled Nova launcher after the factory reset, the thing is Nova was the problem...i switched back to the default launcher and 0 problems with the camera.
