Camera failed to launch - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I try to launch the camera app or any app that requires the camera I get the following message "camera failed to launch, please reboot your device"
Model Number ASIS_Z00AD
I'm running stock ww_2.20.40.59...
I have restarted the device.
I have un installed and reinstalled the camera app (from the beta down to stock, then back to beta).
I have wiped the cache in the app.
Deleted the data in the app.
Installed google camera.
Still nothing working.
Before I do a fill cache wipe or a system wipe, is there anything else I should try?

Try loading a different camera app from the play store, see if that works.

I tried that, it failed to load. Snapchat, instagram, and everything else fails to load or crashes.

I did a full factory reset and still no camera. The crappy thing is that I received this phone as a warranty replacement just 2 weeks ago. Now they want to charge me another $25 bucks to get this defective replacement replaced. This may be the end of my relationship with Asus.

Dear Dan,
We apologize for this inconvenience. Have you updated firmware to latest version? If you would like further assistance with your recent ASUS case # or RMA # please send me a private message to [email protected]. Please provide your recent RMA/Case #.
Sincerely

I also have the same problem. When I open the camera app of my zenfone 2 it says "Camera failed to launch. Please reboot your device and try again." I already have reset my device to factory settings but the problem is still not fixed. I will be following this thread hoping to get some solutions.
Thank you

I'll keep you updated. Did it fail after the last update? As I just got this phone, I never had the chance to operate it on an older firmware.
Dan

Did you get my dm?

This only happened 3 days ago. Yes, I am running the latest firmware. I never got this problem when I have the previous firmware.

I received a software update just now. My zenfone 2 is now running WW_2.20.40.63 but the camera problem is still there. I still cannot open my camera.

I am having this EXACT SAme issue and I tried everything here to get it fixed. The camera just stopped working after an update and i'm byond annoyed. I'm an engineer and did everything I knew (clear cache, safe mode, uninstall and reinstall camera, tried other camera apps, etc) and it just does not load camara.
Worst of ALL, ASUS support is jsut plain old bad. No reply to emails, phones, etc. I mean, how can htey release such a bug filled product / firmware and not provide any support for it.

I am suspecting that this is caused by a the new firmware. I will go to Asus service center and ask them if they can downgrade my firmware back to WW_2.19.40.22. I will let you know if this can fix the issue.
I did not expect that the support would be this bad. I also have emailed them with this problem but I have not received any update until now.

BUMP. I also have this same issue just randomly started yesterday, did anyone find a solution for this?

I bought my zenfone 2 to the service center this morning. They flashed the very first firmware and check if it will solve the camera problem. But unfortunately, it does not solved it. It still says the same thing, camera is being used by another application... camera failed to launch.
So I leave my phone there are will wait for 1 month to get repaired because they will be ordering the parts needed. It's hard to say but this maybe a hardware problem. But I don't understand why many users experienced this. Does this mean that the hardware of some zenfones is not very good? I begun to feel disappointed about this.

Well I contacted asus and they are sending me a new phone and I will send them mine once in arrives. 224$ hold and 25$ for processing.

Facing same issue after updating to. 97

I got my phone back from the service center. They found a loose connection to the main camera. That causes also the front camera not to work. I updated my zenfone2 to the latest firmware and it is smoother that before.

I think this is not hardware issue because everyone faced the issue after updating the firmware. I dont know what is the solution for this but I am just guessing that the issue will be fixed in next update. Or I will have to check after downgrading it again.

I brought my phone to the service center couple of weeks ago and told them to downgrade my system. After downgrading to the very first version of the firmware, the problem still occur. That is why I decided to leave my phone for repair.
If your phone is still under service warranty, I think it is good if you visit Asus service center and have them look into your phone.

How many days did it took???

[Q] Occasional massge: "camera has stopped working"

Hello guys, im a new user to android, moved from IOS and bought the Note 2.
it is 3 months old and the previous owner said he made no changes to it what so ever, the rom version is "N7100XXDLK7 N7100PRTDLK5 - Download - Poland (Play)"
i dont know how to check if its rooted or not but it should be stock just like out of the box.
so my problem is this, the phone works 100% fine but sometime when i open the camera it goes to the camera screen. with buttons and everything but in the square where you should see the picture you see pitch black. nothing.
then the phone stuck for like 5 secs, goes to home screen and shows a massage "unfortunately camera has stopped working", then if ill go and open the camera again it works 100% ok.
this also happens with 3rd side applications that uses the camera like "camera zoom fx" and so.
heres the picture of the screen in the camera mode

First of all your device running on old ROM which have SDS brick bug, and can be brick any time without any reason
So i reommend to update to latest version, this also should fix issue
On existing ROM, meantime try
setting - appl manager-All - camera - clear data
Here you can find latest ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
unfortunetely there is no update for your carrier (poland - play), but you can flash any other like poland unbranded

Funny thing is that im not from poland nor the device is, im from israel so im guessing i should use the israel rom but i see two options:
"N7100XXDMA6 N7100OJKDMA3 - Download - Israel
N7100XXDMA6 N7100OJKDMA3 - Download - Israel (Orange/Partner)"
is there any difference?
thanks!
go with
"N7100XXDMA6 N7100OJKDMA3 - Download - Israel
bcoz below said ROM is carrier specific (orange/Partner) and may have some carrier bloatware
N7100XXDMA6 N7100OJKDMA3 - Download - Israel (Orange/Partner)"
I had the problem too just dont worry its a stupid app juat uninstall transparent screen, crack screen etc. Or any other suspecious app download an anti virus software too. And then restart phone BINGO!!!

Thanksyou all, i will try, for the first time ever, to burn a new rom to my device, just a quick question before i do so:
after installing the new rom does all of my info/apps are gone? the device will be cleaned? or would my apps and info be saved?
also, should i delete some things from the phone before burning a new rom? thank!
Nothing required to remove before flashing
If everything go smoothly, you will losse nothing
But sometime after flashing you may get bootloop, or stuck at samsung logo.
in case of such circumstances you need to reboot to recovery (vol up+home+power)
and have to wipe cache and wipe data, and doing so, you will lose all data on device as well on int SD memory
So i recommend to backup important data before flashing.

Bump, wiped everything and installed a new clean rom and im still getting "camera has stopped working" massages, also i have a 2 seconds lag between pressing the camera icon until the camera activates, does all note 2 got this lag?
Thanks.
Thanks for your great work it works very well.
I only faced a problem when I try to open the gallery from the Camera it says that ""camera has stopped working"
Maybe because it uses the Gallery which is not included in your ROM.
Please help.

Realme 5 Pro - realme UI V1.0 Android 10 - Official version available for download

The official Android 10 version for Realme 5 Pro is available for download from official site.
Official Download link
Impressed with the performance and new UI. It includes updates for VoWifi as well.
But also found that some bloatwares got installed along with the update.
Way better performance!!!!
I was checking the official website like every ten minutes. I downloaded it as soon as I saw the update. The size was almost 3.5GB. It took only 6-7 minutes for installation. And to be honest Realme UI looks way better than ColorOS. I played PUBG for almost an hour and the gameplay was much better than before. It gave me constant 45fps even when screen recording!!! Gonna try 60fps tomorrow!!
On the indian website, the new version is available, but on the european website, it still shows the old update with ColorOS 6...
I wonder if the version on the indian website is the same for every country? If so, can I install it without causing problem? Or should I wait for OTA?

Well I just noticed that the smart sidebar is gone with Realme UI... Before the update I had it and now I can find it in the settings, it's a shame, I heard that they revamped it with Realme UI, I wonder why I don't have it on my phone...

Factory data reset fixes it.

Oh I see, well I installed it directly by selecting the update in the file manager. Do you think I should just reinstall it via file recovery? And what if I don't wanna wipe my data?

In my experience with both custom and stock ROMs on several different phones,, a data reset or clean flash is always a good idea with major OS upgrades, i.e between android versions. That's why I bit the bullet and reset it. Runs fine after.
Initial impressions of Realme UI after using it for 48 hours
1. Battery is terrible. Does not last me for a work day (100% in the morning and it dies out before night). I have done a factory reset to no avail
2. I dont see 4G+ anymore.
3. Wifi speeds have increased significantly
4. GPS lock happens rather quickly now
5. The phone is always warm and gets a bit hot when used for a longer period. I dont play any games. Just emails, browser and some social media
6. RealmeUI seems like a half cooked product. Especially the dark mode (and vice versa)

thank you for the review.
does ram management get better with this update?
in android 9, the apps auto killing even after turning off all battery savings.
Can I install this with TWRP?
does it wipe all my data and remove my root,Magisk, and TWRP?
if it does remove all my data, my root is there any workaround method to update ?
Sorry I'm a newbie that just learnt how to root last month ?

I did not notice any background app killing and have not noticed the RAM mgmt. I have the 6Gb version so not to particular.
This was a wonderful device on Pie. Q just killed it. I had raised an issue on the community portal and the response was quite silly (turn off wifi, it is summer, use dark mode etc). So either we patiently wait for the patch or switch to another phone if you already have one.
If you have not updated yet, i would recommend hold on
Still don't have the smart sidebar.
Google Assistant opens automatically nearly everytime I hit return
This update is so broken

Dual Apps, no location access after last MIUI Update?

I received the last MIUI update for my phone, MIUI Global 11.0.4.0(QGGMIXM), and after that, location access stoped working on dual apps. In my case, I'm using it to play Pokémon Go with two accounts at the same time, now the second one(the one from Dual Apps) is not detecting my location anymore, I have tried deleting all the Dual Apps data and config with no luck, I even tried a factory reset and it didn't work.
I have a friend who is suffering the same issue with the same phone model and MIUI version, so, I think this might be a general bug.
Any ideas?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
The MIUI 12 have messed up lot of things one being :
Unable to find the storage for dual apps as you have mentioned above. So just don't worry, we are here to help you out. Until Xiaomi releases the fix for this you can try the following approach step by step:
Download the Xiaomi File Manager (4.2.0.9), you can find it from APKmirror. Here this is the link: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/xiaom...mi-file-manager-4-2-0-9-android-apk-download/
Now just install this apk. If prompted for unable to install from trusted source you may need to enable it via the Developer option by turning this ON -> "Allow Installation from unknown sources"
Now just open the newly installed file manager application and on top left corner, switch the storage to "Storage for Dual Apps"
Bingo!!! Its done now you can access the files of all your dual apps whether its Whatsapp/Facebook/Messenger etc.
Make sure you copy all the files that you need from this storage to an external hard drive/laptop/PC. And once you have taken all the files then you can uninstall this application and re-install the latest version using Google Play Store. You won't have to take a hassle now.
Also if you want to keep using the older version (4.2.0.9) of file manager you can use it without any fear. Please guys if this works for you as it worked for me do support my channel on youtube: https://bit.ly/techNawabs.
Please subscribe as we assure you coolest/exciting/interesting technology related content for gadgets/softwares/tips & tricks/hacks etc.
A video is going to be out soon for this MIUI 12 dual storage bug.....Hoping to see you there on my my channel

Widevine automatically downgraded from l1 to l3.

It was working on day before yesterday..
yesterday night when i tried to play video on amazon prime... it was not playing anything in HD.
i just thought may be content is not available in hd... then i tried multiple movies.. but issue was same..
I downloaded DRM Info from play store... and crap... it's is now L3.
image link manually pasted as xda is not allowing links.
https:// ibb.co /yfzW4WW
Thing I've tried so far to bring it back to l1...
- tried rebooting multiple times .... no luck
- tried clearing cache of DRM Info and amazon prime... as expected no change
- at last cleared data by rebooting into stock recovery -> rebooted to system -> download DRM Info from playstore -> still... L3:crying:
I search whole internet, for any new firmware updates. but found nothing... instead a similar issue for redmi note 9 pro.
I think just because it is almost same device, it has same or similar bug.
but RN9P bug was fixed in an OTA. but I don't see any coming for POCO m2 pro (gram).
i haven't even unlocked the bootloader... just to use Widevine L1.
I think i need to wait for new OTA update.
Have anyone ever encountered this issue and fixed it?
Will unlocking bootloader and flashing custom rom fix it? (i don't think it's possible now.. tell me if i am wrong).
edit 12/07/2020: fed of trying fix this crap... no way to fix it. tired waiting for new OTA
pretty sure that not gonna get L1 again...
unlocked bootloader... flashed custom rom.
Hi,
Mine still at L1 . Have you checked with DRM Info by Android Fung.
I am on Miui Global 11.0.3.0 stable

may be i got the unlucky unit.
now i have rooted my device.. because the only reason to stay on stock is gone.
Try reinstalling rom. Go to updater app and choose download latest package.

yes tried already... still l3.
in this process i also learned that image file downloaded by the internal updater has different hash then public images.. available at xiaomifirmwareupdator . com
although the name is same..
also tried by replacing firmware file from internet. and again updating.
still no luck...
although i have unlocked my bootloader now..
first thing i have done is backup persist.. and other partitions. just in case..

Thanks for your reply...
I thought about that after unlocking the bootloader. but as all the methods just didn't worked before unlocking, i have doubt about it.
and i have strong feeling that it will still dont work.
reason i don't want to lock is that, i will have to wait for 1 month or more to unlock it again..
by the way isn't it same
- downloading latest update from updator in settings. and update by rebooting.
- unlock bootloader, flash fastboot rom. then reboot.
because both the update file is significantly large. i think it's not gonna do anything...
it will be better if I get L1 without locking bootloader . which doesnt seems to happen soon, unless someone creates a magisk patch or finds a loophole to do that, which will be pretty awesome.
in latest miui 12 update there's a way to update WideVine L1 certificate.
Try flashing miui 12 and updating WideVine Certificate from security settings.
Let me know if it works
mine downgraded too, tried various magisk flash files but no luck if anyone finds a solution please reply

i am on miui 12 and it does have a certificate download button in fingerprint payments but when i click on download certificate button it says "error-10009" and nothing download please help, i have unlocked bootloader with custom recovery and magisk too.
we are unable to update widevine L1 from security settings its due to bcoz our device is running 2 months old security patches.. I think the problem will be shortout once our device get latest month security patch update

It was working on day before yesterday..
yesterday night when i tried to play video on amazon prime... it was not playing anything in HD.
i just thought may be content is not available in hd... then i tried multiple movies.. but issue was same..
I downloaded DRM Info from play store... and crap... it's is now L3.
image link manually pasted as xda is not allowing links.
https:// ibb.co /yfzW4WW
Thing I've tried so far to bring it back to l1...
- tried rebooting multiple times .... no luck
- tried clearing cache of DRM Info and amazon prime... as expected no change
- at last cleared data by rebooting into stock recovery -> rebooted to system -> download DRM Info from playstore -> still... L3:crying:
I search whole internet, for any new firmware updates. but found nothing... instead a similar issue for redmi note 9 pro.
I think just because it is almost same device, it has same or similar bug.
but RN9P bug was fixed in an OTA. but I don't see any coming for POCO m2 pro (gram).
i haven't even unlocked the bootloader... just to use Widevine L1.
I think i need to wait for new OTA update.
Have anyone ever encountered this issue and fixed it?
Will unlocking bootloader and flashing custom rom fix it? (i don't think it's possible now.. tell me if i am wrong).
edit 12/07/2020: fed of trying fix this crap... no way to fix it. tired waiting for new OTA
pretty sure that not gonna get L1 again...
unlocked bootloader... flashed custom rom.

I think Android 11 update fixed this and allows to update certificate properly from settings.

Question "Query" ProtonAosp

Id like to stay with pixel instead of having to sell and then buy a new phone, just hassle, but iv seen proton is a very good ROM to run, my issues are with updates, how would you update the proton ROM? And is it easy enough to revert back to stock if needed?
Thanks.
If you want more privacy and security, as well as regular updates, GrapheneOS is an excellent option. Not sure the Proton ROM has OTA-like updates though

Graphene is a privacy based rom that lacks some crucial functionality if you need everything running. This is according to various posts on here and Reddit. Some people love it, and I'm sure some don't. I saw someone that liked it a lot but had to roll back because they couldn't get something or other working. But it depends on your needs.
As for Proton there is no OTA but updates are posted and they are a simple web install that takes about 4 or 5 minutes. Nothing is wiped if you are updating. After installing you can relock the bootloader if you want but that's another wipe as I'm sure you know. This is a very stock rom with a lot of tweaks in the background. FPR for one. It's much quicker although not perfect yet. Also the latest version is the December build with all security and most features enabled. One difference, of many, is that call screening is still available on this build. Call on hold is not. I flashed this rom and then installed the November radio over it since it does come with the crappy December radio. It's way better, I don't lose signal very much although I still do occasionally. Bottom line I like it and would have a hard time going back to stock. I'm not rooted and after the next update I might relock the bootloader, wipe the device and leave it at that.
Reverting to stock is the same as with any other custom rom. You can web install stock or manually fastboot it. Not a difficult process.

Hey I just tried there now and I unlocked the bootloader but it keeps saying about available space and if I'm using an incognito browser? Is there a specific browser I need to use to do this, I tried chrome and edge? Says I need 5gb available, my pc has like 1TB, any suggestions

What about not incognito? I heard there was some limits on that space wise.

I'll head over there now. I did see that a day or so ago.
edit: looks like the problem arises if you have multiple profiles on Chrome. I think the manual install is not that difficult though if you still run into problems. Flashall.bat -w to wipe the device then flashall.bat to install the rom. Don't do a thing until it's done. It's tempting because you get a fastboot menu allowing you to restart the device. Don't do it let the rom install direct you. I actually forgot if it's an auto reboot into the rom or finally the rom instructs you to reboot. But it should be pretty clear.

Maybe you can borrow a computer from an associate for about 5 minutes? Worth a try. Good luck let us know how you made out.

Are you using a VPN by chance? VPN are known to cause issues with wireless devices trying to connect (printers, Sonos (audio), debugging, et cetera), since your two favored toys can't "find" each other any more.
Can anyone currently using this ROM try out the translate function from the screen shot menu? I included a screen shot of how it normally presents with the results after selecting translate.
Also if you test it, there needs to be enough of a foreign language on the screen and also it might not trigger of it has your default language on the screen mixed in
