I’m hoping someone else has seen this — after the latest software update, my S24 Ultra’s 0.6x ultrawide camera completely stopped working. Every time I open it, I get a “Camera failed” message, and now the entire camera app crashes more often than not.
Here’s what I’ve already done (per Samsung Support):
Force stopped & restarted the Camera app
Cleared cache and data
Reset camera settings
Updated all apps and system software
Booted in Safe Mode
Wiped the cache partition
Unfortunately, after the last step, it actually got worse — the camera now fails across multiple modes.
I’ve been an Android user for over 20 years and have never had an update break a core function like this. It’s incredibly frustrating since I rely on my phone’s camera daily.
Has anyone else experienced this after the update? Is Samsung aware of a patch or replacement program being worked on for this issue?
Thanks in advance — I really hope this gets addressed quickly.
