Camera stopped working - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After my 5X installed the latest March update, I started to have problems with camera. I was able to use both cameras without problem, but then I installed Snapchat and now they don't work. When I first launch the camera app rear camera works OK but If I exit, It doesn't work again until reboot. It just shows a camera icon and after some wait it says "can't connect to camera" also I can see the red light from the focus sensor at the left of the rear lens. It just works all the time after I first launch the camera app. I think my camera doesn't shut and that's the reason of "can't connect to camera" error.
I tried factory reset but still have the problem.

Unfortunately, camera has stopped

Getting a weird one. When I am video'ing, and I try to zoom in, the camera then crashes with "Unfortunately, the camera has stopped"
I have tried with Google Camera, which I have installed, and the zoom seems to work fine, but I would rather use the LG G3 camera app
The zoom works fine when not recording, and when taking stills, but only crashes when actually recording
Edit :
Have done a full factory reset, and have just let the phone update what it needs from the Play store (google services etc), have not installed any 3rd party apps ... and still having the same problem
Initially the zoom worked, but rebooted the phone and now the camera stops again
If I zoom in to say 5x and then start teh video, it records, but as soon as I try and zoom in or out, it crashes
The phone is stock, LG-D855 and running V10h-EUR-XX

Snapchat constant freeze, ruins all camera apps

Hello. I have had the M5 for around two months now and almost everytime I use snapchat, whether the actual camera is on, viewing a snap or viewing the list of sent/received snaps, the app freezes and crashes.
I then get the error message about the camera unable to open, and any app, including the official camera app, that uses the phones camera, is unable to open the camera.
I have....
Updated snapchat
Cleared cache
Restarted phone
Uninstalled/re installed snapchat
The same issues still, every time.
Any other possible fixes???

I'm having the same problem. If you don't mind me asking, how did you get the official camera app to work again? I don't mind sacrificing Snapchat, I just want my cameras back!
I had problems with snapchat until I updated to 5.1. Snapchat works fine for the most part but some filters/stickers don't work properly.
To get the official camera app to work, had to restart the phone (which I have to do to get all camera apps working)
My phone hasn't gotten any updates, still Android 5.0, seems my carrier isn't getting the update so I can't tell if that can work or not

Back camera closes uexpectedly after replacement

I've broke my back camera to point where it wouldn't focus right, so I bought a replacement for my model online.
When friend replaced my camera (easy steps, take back cover off, unpin the camera and pull out) and tried to turn on the phone, the camera app crashes saying the app has crashed unexpectedly. Even, when replacing back to old camera, which still worked, but wouldn't focus, the same crash appear.
I've tried clearing camera app cache/data and flashed phone to stock ROM, with no result.
Is there anything I can do about this issue?

Cameras working weird after update

I have an LG G710EM. So I had a battery replacement recently and everything was working fine. I updated to android Q via LGUP and now my cameras are working funny. If I open the camera app on android 10 the app crashes immediately. I tried safe mode and only the main rear camera was working. The wide angle just freezes.
I downgraded to android 9 and here the apps open and main camera works but when I tap the wide angle lens it freezes. If I tap the selfie camera the wide angle lens open and it works there but everything is flipped upside down WTF! its funny and frustrating. I've tried clearing data and cache I tried reflashing android nothing works. A little help would be appreciated.
