Posted by The camera has become one of the most important features in a smartphone, and for good reasons too. We all love to capture memories – especially beautiful ones. So it is important to know how to fix camera errors when they show up on your Android smartphone.
It is important to note upfront that some camera issues are from the hardware. For example, if your camera lens gets scratched, the solution is to have that part replaced. You have to take the phone to a service centre for that. That is an example of a hardware failure in the camera.

Here are a few tips to help you fix camera errors on your smartphone.
