WARNING CAMERA FAILED:All Samsung phones- 9 Solutions

Here are all the possible fixes for the error Warning Camera Failed for the rear or front camera of any Samsung Phone. When you press OK the Camera usually crashes and the error reappears each time you launch the camera. This makes it impossible to actually use your Camera on your Smartphone.

[@Brian-eg7xq]

You're my hero. I watched four other UA-cam videos. None offered a solution to my S7 Camera Failed message. The third solution you offered, the one with the phone keypad method, was the right one. Thank you, Ricardo!

[@rickytlc1985]

Glad to hear it and nice job.

@@rickytlc1985 My j6 + fell and the selfie camera is just showing black can you help me?

[@jmurray7780]

Thank you for posting this video! You have been the savior of my phone. I haven't been able to use my camera for 3 months. I've done everything in this video including a hard reset and nothing was working. I've also taken it to 2 repair places with estimates of over $200. No one could really figure out what was wrong and wanted to replace the front camera. It wasn't until the very last minute of your video when you suggested pressing on the screen that I tried that. That worked! Apparently the front camera connection had come a little loose and all it took was a press on the top of the screen. Thank you so very much for your help!
EDIT: Worked for 5 minutes then had to get get motherboard replaced. Thanks for the tip though. Could very well be someone else's fix-all.

[@excelents]

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 UA-cam 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.

[@mitchharriman818]

I haven't been able to fix my phone either!!! I too noticed that the flashlight is showing "on" but it isn't actually. I do not have the "all in one" toolbox app...should I install it?

Great video really helpful but didn't sort my issue even after resetting the phone...was about to give up and then gave my Samsung S8 three finger flicks on the camera lense and hey presto it worked.
