[Completed] Can't connect to camera - Nexus 6 Lollipop 5.1

My Nexus 6 is unable to start the camera. The google camera app hangs when it starts and nothing shows up. Earlier the camera used to open but it lagged a bit when HDR was on. Now the camera isn't opening anymore. The other apps like Instagram that use the camera are also not able to open it. The app opens up and hangs, nothing shows up just black screen and sometimes the message "Can't connect to Camera" appears. This issue came after 5.1 and I also had buzz launcher installed once but then I removed it. The phone is less than 7 months old.
What I've tried:
1. Forced stop the app (Google Camera)
2. Cleared cache of the app
3. Booted in recovery mode and wiped cache partition
4. Factory reset the device
Nothing worked for me, I tried these steps one by one and then tested the camera but it is still not working. Please help me with this, I paid a lot of money for this phone on my own and it feels really bad and annoying that the camera isn't functional anymore.
Thanks in advance.

Camera failed

Hi to all! I recently purchased this great smartphone and I was really satisfied till two weeks ago. When I pressed the camera shortcut it entered the camera but it showed the error message which was - "Camera Failed". The only option it gave me was "OK" and it exited the camera. I tried for a few days to occasionally enter the camera and it almost always gave the same error message except one time when I tried in App manager the option to clear cache and data and force stop. Next step i tried factory reset and it helped instantly. I gradually started to install apps and when I got to third app which is Mbanking the camera crashed again. I'm really wondering what is the connection here? Few minutes ago I booted the S6 in safe mode and the camera worked! The front camera worked when the rear didn't! Is this software or hardware failure? Please help.

[Q] - Stock XT1033 Camera Won't Focus

Hello.
I've searched on FAQ and all along the forums and google, but didn't find nothing.
My stock Moto G XT1033 (1st gen)'s camera stops to focus randomly.
At the first time, I just cleared out the camera cache - ok, focus works.
Next time, I tried the first approach, without succes. Soft reset - ok, focus works.
Next time 2, tried to clear the cache, soft reset, nothing. Hard reset - ok, focus works.
Next time 3, didn't want to hard reset again. Just uninstalled the camera update - ok, focus works.
Next time 4, tried to clear the cache, soft reset, re-install and uninstall camera software, and... nothing. I'm still figuring out what "magic" I will do. I'm not in the mood to hard reset again.
*I noticed that other camera apps won't focus either in these situations.
Any suggestions? Is my camera dying?

LG g5 main camera broken?

Hey there, I have a major problem with my LG G5 SE and it's really annoying me. One day a few weeks ago the camera app decided to crash and when I went back in I found I was in trouble as the main camera was not showing at all it would glitch out completely and show the front camera and back wide angle only and the interface for rear and front are the wrong way round... I've tried everything out there to try and fix the main camera not working or appearing anywhere even in third party apps... I've even factory reset it so many times did nothing, and that failed to sort out the problem so I am really stuck on what to do next as it has such a fantastic camera and somehow has stopped working recently, image below is what it always shows even after cache and data cleared i try switching cameras in app and shows that again every a time I do so, and no idea why but it seems a software fault which I cannot fix myself clearly as I've tried everything out there, any ideas please as I do not know what to do...(ID RATHER NOT HAVE TO SEND OFF TO BE REPAIRED AS IM SURE ITE FIXABLE) Thanks

ZTE Blade X1 5G Front Camera Freezes after a Period of Time only after phone reset can if be used again.

I've had this phone for about 3 months now with YahooMobile. It seems like a nice enough phone but after a month the Camera Froze. I could clear clear cache and Data cache to bring it back up again, but as soon as I switch it to front camera it froze again. The Rear camera functions fine until I bring up front again and everything has to be cleared out again. If I factory reset the OS, it functions fine for a period of time then starts freezes again. I tried watching my app installs to see if it happened for a particular app but with half the apps installed as the previous times and no new apps running camera permissions it does it again. Is anyone having this problem and found a solution?
I've sent my phone back to zte 3 times now and on the 3rd time they finally sent me a replacement phone. One week into using it, it froze on selfie camera. The first and 3rd time I sent it to them they did testing and factory reset but nothing more, insuring that the problem would return. The second time I sent it to them I factory reset it myself and they did nothing to it but send it back because they couldn't find a problem. They told me not to install "ANY" 3rd party apps on the phone.
I have the blade x1 5g too. It is a great phone except for this issue After about 2 months the screen freezes when the front camera is activated. Long press on camera icon and select photo will get out of it. Factory reset is only thing I have found that allows it to work correctly. It has not come back yet but only has been a week since the reset. Probably developer needs to intervene to add to an update?
