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?

My Camera Failed After Update

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.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jm1231:
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.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jm1231:
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. :(

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.

ZENFONE 2: camera failed to launch

My Zenfone 2 phone exactly encountered the same problem, probably because of a software update/installation and so on. I simply rebooted the phone into the SAFE MODE (simply long press the power button then LONG TAP the shutdown then confirm the reboot into the safe mode). In the safe mode I found that the camera works normally. Then I simply rebooted the phone (in order to enter the normal environment) and now the camera works! I hope that you can fix the bug by this simple process. :) :) :)

Asus zenfone 2 camera fail

Hi there guys. 4give my english, Filipino citizen here. Regarding on the issue in our Asus pixel camera, i've manage to fixed mine. ZenFone 2 500cl, 8months old till today. Have patient to read my case.

I've got the same problem like "camera failed to launch, the camera is being used by another application,please reboot your device. Etc..."

In "MY CASE ONLY" from january 2016 my camera work for some times & won't work for many times after inserting and after removing my headset, that is the first time i've encountered that my camera is not functioning well. At first i suspected that it's all about on the App "pixel camera" after updating, so i tried to uninstall then disable - enable the App. Still, camera not working.

Next is i tried hard reset but the problem is still there. In that situation i've started to be dismayed.

Last night on March 16, 2016 because i can't accept the fact that my phone is a sick! I've tried knocking intentionally with little force on the camera lens with my middle finger, hoping that it's on the hardware part. And the good thing is my camera works, new hopes arrived. Try knocking yours MAYBE we have the same cause of problem. To test it i tried inserting my headset again and try to relaunch the camera. Again CAMERA FAILED, so i knock on it again and again then the camera works while my headset is inserted. I tried it for many times to convince myself that i found the root of the problem.

For that case, i've conclude that there is a loosed part inside my phone. The next morning i disassembled my phone and found out that my camera "ribbon/connection" is not that properly attached. So i reconnect the ribbon and ensured it with a tape. it's not actually a ribbon but looks like a ribbon with a terminal.

My camera is now working. Just be careful on disassembling the phone. I hope it help... Thank you

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sukhwant717:
flash raw firmware. if the problem is related to software. you will definitely overcome. as you stated it stopped working after update 99% chance that it is software related. to get raw firmware and how to flash. use the following thread. keep in mind you need to perform steps after 2 steps. i mean after xFSTK one. only raw file downloading and flashing via fastboot then update to latest firmware. do not perform first two steps. note also that it is gonna flash everything and get your device to stock . so backup your data before doing anything.

Thanks for the reply and path I need to go down.

I've been trying to figure this out for the past few days, as I've never felt the need to connect this phone via adb and boy is it different than other Android phones I've used in the past.

It looks like I can get the Intel driver installed, but I can't get that flash tool working for the life of me, every time I launch it, nothing happens.

I searched some other threads and they mention the Asus flashing tool, but the documentation is sparse, and I'm scared to brick my phone.

Meanwhile, i booted to adb, did a full format+ cleared cache, and I managed to adb side load to marshmallow, but still, no camera.

My assumption is, that the firmware is separate from the OS, and that's what Asus borked in their last OTA to me.

So which firmware do I flash when i figure. Out how the heck to actually do that?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sukhwant717:
are you traying to use xFSTK????? don't go for that. just reboot your phone into fastboot and run the commands. it will update everything. and it will work if it is a problem related to software

I was trying to use xFSTK. no more.

I removed my screen lock, ran cmd as an admin, and set fastboot itself to run as admin, no luck.

only thing i can think of is that the firmware file I downloaded - WW_ZE551ML_2.20.40.139_sal358-amtech.vn.raw is 2.20.40.139

the image i side loaded w/ adb yesterday was UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.134-user.zip ( - marshmallow), could there be a conflict?

should I do a clean wipe (w/ no restore from google) to see if maybe there's a conflict?

Asus ZE551ML camera was not functioning, as has been described in this thread. Decided to take the phone apart and discovered that the selfie camera's connector to the circuit board was cracked. The connector is very cheap and weak, but the crack should not have happened. The phone was well taken care of by the owner. A new ROM will not overcome such a hardware issue.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Tref:
Has anyone opted to use the supplied case and leave the keyboard at home? If so does it lighten the load, reduce the bulk, and work pretty well? I realize it removes the ability to view the secondary screen, but for those who don't use the keyboard for much this seems like a way to mitigate the "pain" of carrying the thing around, especially if a bluetooth headset with caller id is used. Anyone?

Thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] jmdrizen:
Do you have a different supplied case than the one with the Ameo?

I can't use the secondary screen with mine as the case isn't transparant.. :-/
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] tomchap:
Stock case is fine....for the moment!

Yeah ive opted to use the case without the keyboard, im finding im getting on with it well (especially since I purchased a Jabra 8010 headset, with caller id and vibrate)

This is great (altho im still getting used to 'whats that vibrating noise? oh its the headset, oops!' hehe!)

I find these work well together, it doesnt matter that I cant see the caller display thats there when the keyboards there.

As regards to typing, ive tried all of the options that are available Resco Keyboard, SPB Keyboard, the lot, and they are all ok, but i still go back to the standard keyboard on the bigger setting so the keys are easy to push. 90% of the time, with fast typing im fine, and happy not to be carrying the keyboard round, which i find worse than the onscreen keyboard.

Its not because of the feel of the keys on the hardware keyboard, its the layout. I just cant get used to it, and ive tried. I dont find it impossible to type, and I guess if i used it more then id get used to it, but the benefits of not carrying it around, outweigh the benefits of having the keyboard with me.

Id prefer a 'Skin' type of case, but even then, id be worried about the screen getting damaged, so for now, im happy to stick with the standard case that came with the Ameo.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Tref:
I don't have an Advantage yet. I'm in the market for a replacement for my Wizard and have it narrowed down to either the Advantage x7501 or the Nokia E90. But there are so many production problems appearing with the E90 that I'm leaning heavily toward the 7501. Plus the OS (M$), is a known evil and my software for the Wizard will mostly work fine on it. If I do buy one I will likely carry it without the keyboard so long as I can do so while keeping the screen 100% protected, just as tomchap is concerned about.

I rarely use the keyboard on my Wizard and I suspect I would not use it much with the 7501 either, mostly because I don't need to compose much on my phone, and don't browse the web much either while I'm out and about. So for me the trick will be to find a way to carry it without the kb yet keep it protected while still being able to access the it quickly when I need to look something up in a rush. I have a BlueAnt v12 with caller id, so the phone can stay cased while I'm answering calls. FWIW my idea of an ideal case would be a crystal case with a flip up screen cover.

Thanks for the replies
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] keithwwalker:
I am putting the phone in my pants pocket without the keyboard. With the keyboard it is too thick. Without, it 'just' fits! W/O the KB the form factor is now in that sweet spot where I don't notice the bulk as much.

Plus, I am used to graffiti text input with my old Sony Clie, Palm OS, so leaving behind the kb is not a big deal for me.
