Hello,

on Nokia 8 when camera is launched, the camera app falls with error "Can't connect to camera'. It's happening after factory reset on absolutely clean phone.
I think it's not a hardware problem because after restarting phone, the first launch of camera is working but when I press home button and open camera app again, error appears .
It's not about bad app, because this is also happening with Whatsapp, Instagram, GCam, whatever.
Phone has the latest update.
Is there any help for this issue? Are there any Nokia 8 owners with same issue?
Thank you very much.

Hello all,

Since 2 weeks the same problem with my Nokia 8 / 128GB; TA-1012
Camera firmware: V100.0098.01 / V020.0072.01

After it first occurred I did a factory reset and I was able to make pictures from all apps.
Then I could make a number of pictures after each other.

From today making only one picture is possible, then it says: Camera error; can't connect to camera. After restarting the phone I am able to make one picture, just as @gibby1 .

Please help.

Thanks,

Hans

Update: After the last time switching the phone off-on I am able to make unlimited pictures/videos, with both normal and selfie camera, from various apps. We will see how this developes.
