    • Updated! Simple Fix fo...
    A common problem with Samsung Galaxy Phones is the "Warning: Camera Failed" error message when the rear camera stops working. We show you the simple steps to go through to get this fixed.
    Note: I go through the possible ways to fix this in order of "least impact on your phone"... i.e. the first method doens't change anything, last method (which actually worked for me) resets some settings.

    Thanks heaps for this!!! My camera also failed today, just 3 days after purchasing the phone. Before fixing the problem with your help (the last method also worked for me), I contacted the Samsung support and they actually told me to just return the phone where I bought it, since they could not help me. Pretty unbelievable - such tools!!!

    Mine was doing this and here is something I observed and an interesting solution. Nothing I did following all the suggestions, hints, tips here on RUclips and across the Web would work. I even factory reset the phone and still it happened to the point where I was considering taking it to the shop for repair.
    It was at this point that I noticed while going through various menus / apps etc that in the swipe down notification tray that the "torch" icon was showing it was in the "on" position i.e the icon was highlighted in blue but no amount of pressing it would cancel it however the LED camera flash was not physically on that is to say there was no light shining.
    I have the "All In One" toolbox app installed whereupon it gives you the option to install a Torch plugin so I decided to give it a go and installed it. The torch plugin gives you two options to control the main front screen which it lights up as a bright plain white wallpaper and the other option to actually control the camera flash LED with an on / off toggle button. I turned on the LED and it lit up (as per a torch) and turned it off.
    I then checked the "torch" icon in the notification drop down menu and it had switched off and wasn't highlighted in blue. I then clicked the camera and it switched back on and returned to normal operation.
    So that was my discovery and it worked, so hope that helps anyone.

    I just saw your youtube on fixing the camera failed error. I tried all your suggestions and it worked on my S7! However, after turning off my phone for the night and then turning the phone back on the next morning, the error came back! I was wondering if you had any other suggestions. Yes, I reset it back to factor setting and that didn’t work either. If I download another camera app from Google Play would that work? If so, got any recommendations for that app?
    Thanks in advance for all of your help,

    Great THx, Samdung S5 camera works, but everytime I change it to selfie switch it fails. Maybe I'm not supposed to take selfies??

      I deleted a lot of my stuff on my phone storage (images), then force stopped and cleared data of camera and then restarted the phone. Worked for me!

    Ok, what if the regular camera works fine when you troubleshoot it, but once you turn it to selfie it goes black and won't work again. My gs6 edge is doing that every time I try to use the front camera.
