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

selfie camera unknown error

Since I had an ota update my selfie cam comes up with an unknown error. Not a selfie fan so that's not too much of an issue, but I accidentally switched while taking vids of my kids sports day and missed loads as I have to go into the app settings and clear data every time.
I wiped cache and data from the camera app, gallery and everything that involves the camera... then restarted and.... nothing.
Is it to do with the cr3 update?
I don't really want to reset the phone unless I have to.
Any ideas ?

Camera app crashing when using wide aperture - Huawei Mate 9 Lite

The camera app always worked well, but since I updated it to Nougat, every time I take a picture with the wide aperture feature the phone freezes and the photo is not saved. I have to reboot it in order to use the phone again. I've tried deleting the cache and data of the camera app, making a factory reset, nothing worked. Huawei support says that it might be a 2nd camera hardware problem, it was working until i received the update. Anyone know how to fix this? Also, in case i wont be able to fix it, which camera app do you suggest that has a nice portrait mode?
Thanks in advance

Main camera stopped working

Guys my main camera stopped working.
The process is not blocked by any other app.
I tried service menu and test camera, it doesn't perform the test, it fails.
Only way to take pictures is to use gcam v1.4 and manually choosing wide or zoom camera.
When u choose 1x camera it stays black and crashes.
Any ideas?

Have you factory reset?
I got the same problem. Just got a black screen and camera app would freeze. Did a factory reset, camera was extremely choppy for a minute or so and now back to nothing.
Tried another factory reset. It seems like if you change the default resolution settings to anything (even tapping on 'FullVision' in settings), it almost breaks the camera. Best to leave it at default 4:3 12 MP resolution.
Seems like a "driver" issue, good work LG.
Did any of you ever find a fix for this? Just got a Korean V50 Thinq and the camera is 99% of the time crashing. I tried installing gcam mods as well and they also crash, primarily while using the main camera.
Got it repaired via LG warranty. They replaced the main/motherboard. Phone has been fine ever since.
Same thing happened to my phone and warranty is expired. I tried the hard reset and may other ways, but nothing helped. Did anyone find a solution for it?

Camera issues

Hello I was wondering if anyone has any help with issue I started having with camera, it started closing it self after 2 seconds of opening. I tried clearing cache, restarting phone, and clearing apps permission and can't seem to fix the issue! I noticed that if I turn off Bluetooth the camera doesn't closes and works with no issue, any help would be greatly appreciated so I don't have to factory reset phone. Thanks
Did you recently update your phone?
On my N8 and Galaxy Tab S4, the camera app would crash, so I installed Open Camera. Really enjoyed using Open Camera on both devices, so I also installed it on the N20U.
I always use open camera because a couple of things, record video while on call and flashlight while picture because spammy doesn't know how to do either, way too complicated for spams ham. yet open can can't quite focus as good as spam, well I can only guess it's because spam hoarded stuff away from other cam apps, sounds like something spam would do anyway.
never seen the stock cam close after couple seconds those, does alternate can app work?
