The "Warning: Camera failed" error message on your Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus might mean two things: it could mean the Camera application failed to initialize or crash, or it could be a sign of a hardware problem. Another variation of this problem is the error "Unfortunately, the camera has stopped" on the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus which might also mean the same thing. However, we will try to focus on the 'failed camera' error in this post caused by a system failure on Android.
The camera on your Galaxy S9 Plus, or any smartphone in this case, has one of the most complicated processes. Imagine that everything must be synchronized so you can take good pictures. When a camera application is opened, the hardware, firmware, services run in the background and the application must be initialized together and go into standby waiting when you will press or tap the capture button. If one of these things fails to initialize, you may be greeted by this error message or any other problem that has to do with your cellphone's camera.

We will discuss this issue in this article and we will try to determine the problem and fix it if possible. So, if you are one of the owners of Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus who has a Camera Failed / Camera problem, continue reading because this article might help you solve the problem.
What to do with the "Warning: Camera failed" error on the Galaxy S9 Plus?
1. Reboot your Galaxy S9 Plus
If you haven't rebooted your cellphone, then it's time to reboot because repairs can mostly be resolved by doing this. Maybe it's the first step of what you need to do and you can continue to use your cellphone normally after that. So, press the power button and restart your device and then after the phone has completely rebooted, open the Camera to find out if the problem still occurs. If the "Camera failed" error message still appears, try doing the Forse Restart procedure:
Press and hold the volume button down and the power button simultaneously for 10 seconds or until the device restarts.
Forced Restart will simulate battery attraction and refresh your phone's memory by closing and reloading all of your Galaxy S9 Plus applications, services, and core functions. If this does not correct the problem, proceed to the next solution.
2. Clean the Camera cache and application data
Doing this will reset the camera application back to its default settings, and delete the possibility of cache and corrupted data. If this problem is only with the application, then clearing the cache and data will definitely fix the problem. Follow these steps to reset Camera settings:
From the Home screen, touch and swipe up or down to display all applications.
From the Home screen, navigate: Settings> Applications.
Tap Application Manager.
Find then tap Camera.
Tap Storage.
Tap CLEAR CACHE.
Tap Data cache.
Tap CLEAR.
Open the camera to find out if the error still appears and if it still exists, the next thing you have to do is solve the firmware problem and it must start with the next solution.
3. Wipe Cache Partition
There are times when the application crashes because of some corrupted system cache. We ourselves experienced similar problems in the past that were fixed after we cleared the contents of the cache partition. You won't really know whether the problem is caused by some corrupt cache, you just have to try deleting those files so the system will replace them with new ones to get rid of this possibility and this is how you do it:
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Volume Up and Bixby buttons, then press and hold the Power button.
When the Android logo is displayed, release the three buttons.
The message 'Installing system updates' will appear for 30-60 seconds before the Android recovery system menu options appear.
Press the Volume key down several times to highlight delete cache partition.
Press the Power button to select.
Press the Volume button down to highlight them, and press the Power button to select.
When the wipe cache partition is complete, the system reboot is now highlighted.
Press the Power button to restart the device.
Your cellphone may require a little more boot time after this because it rebuilds the cache. Once active, try opening the camera to find out if the error still appears and if it still exists, you must do the next step.

4. Back up your files and do a master reset
Again, maybe this problem is caused by a hardware problem and therefore you need to do this last solution. If it works, then the problem can only be with firmware or at least, related software but if not, then you need to bring the device to the service point and about your privacy, all your personal data information and files will be deleted. Don't forget to back up your files before they are reset because they will be deleted.
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Volume Up and Bixby buttons, then press and hold the Power button.
When the Android green logo is displayed, release all keys ('Installing system updates' will be displayed for about 30 - 60 seconds before displaying the Android system recovery menu option).
Press the Volume down button several times to highlight 'wipe data / factory reset'.
Press the Power button to select.
Press the Volume button down until "Yes - delete all user data" is highlighted.
Press the Power button to select and start the master reset.
When the master reset is complete, 'Rebooting the system now' is highlighted.
Press the Power button to restart the device.
