Camera triggers "fatal error" in third-party applications

Google Pixel 3 & Pixel 3 XL seems to face another bug, this time related to the camera. It seems that some users are having problems using the Pixel 3 camera in third-party applications because they encounter an error that completely disables the camera … until you reboot the device. To make matters worse, the standard camera also becomes completely unusable until you reboot the device. As already mentioned, it seems that not all units are experiencing this problem. As we have not done yet, we tried to reproduce it on both Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. You can test it yourself. If you wish, you simply need to open an application using your phone's camera, such as Snapchat, for example, and take a picture. If an error occurs while you're doing it (like the one shown in a tweet below), you're having problems and it's likely that you'll need to reboot your device in order to access the camera in general. The message "Can not connect to the camera" or "The camera device has encountered a fatal error" may be displayed. If you encounter this error once, it is likely that it will repeat each time you try to use the Pixel 3 (XL) camera in a third party application and that it is better to completely prohibit third-party applications to use the camera. until Google solves this problem. Some people even tried to reset the device at the factory, but it did not help at all.

It now seems that Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL users are not the only ones facing this problem. If we believe the reports, some units of Pixel 2 XL are also concerned. Several people have also reported such problems with the original range of pixels. So it seems that the problem is not exclusive to Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. It seems that the head of the BuzzFeed News office, Mat Honan, had some problems with his personal unit Pixel 3, which forced him to update the analysis of the device by the site. Google is expected to look into this issue in the near future, but the company still has not responded to this information.

Context: The Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL seem to be plagued by various errors since their announcement earlier this year. The Pixel 3 XL has started to display a second display because of a bug, as if it was not enough. The Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL also had slow wireless charging issues, although the display indicates a fast charge, although this is the problem that Google has solved. Ambient notifications are broken on some Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL units, although Google says the fix for this issue is coming, so is the second notch on the Pixel 3 XL. The company also confirmed that solutions to the memory management and zoom problems of the Pixel 3 XL speaker were forthcoming. Some Pixel 3 XL units encounter some kind of rattling during phone calls, which Google has not commented on yet. In addition, some Pixel 3 units encounter problems with the disappearance of messages in Google's "Messages" application, although this problem may be related to the application itself and not to the application itself. device, although information on this has only appeared for Pixel 3 (XL) units. … who knows, but Google still has not commented. As you can see, many bugs affect Pixel 3 units, but there are others that have been patched through updates.

The Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are Google's flagship smartphones. Both of these devices were launched last month and are available earlier this month. Both devices are pretty similar on the outside, with the exception of one detail, the Pixel 3 does not have notch of display, unlike the Pixel 3 XL, and a big enough. Despite all these bugs, these two devices are quite convincing because they also have a lot of positives. Both cameras feature front-facing stereo speakers and fairly powerful cameras. Both devices have a single camera on the back, but thanks to Google's algorithms, this camera is able to take very beautiful pictures, even in low light, thanks to the "Night Sight" mode of the company. Both phones are powered by the Snapdragon 845 SoC, while both come with Android 9 Pie out of the box. The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL also come with a rear-facing fingerprint scanner, while both devices are IP68 certified for water and dust resistance. Both phones are made of metal and glass, although it is mainly metal, with a small glass panel at the back. If you want to know more about them, check out our article.

Impact: The Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are plagued by bugs, which is pretty obvious at this point, even though it seems that Google is committed to correcting these bugs as soon as possible. The company has already responded to a number of bug reports and many of the bugs affecting both phones are already resolved, although the list of unresolved bugs is still long. In fact, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL did not leave the best first impression because of so many problems, but once the company has mastered several major bugs that need to be monitored, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 units XL leave a much better impression, that's for sure. It should be noted that not all bugs affect all Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL units, quite the contrary, so it is possible that you have not encountered any bugs mentioned in this article, nor a bug in general. in which case your opinion on these two phones is probably considerably different. It remains to be seen how long will it take Google to solve the phone's memory management issues, its ghost-like appearance and this rather annoying bug related to third-party apps and the phone's camera .
