Every now and again I'll get an error when trying to access the camera. Usually it's when I try to access it from the lock screen, but has happened when trying to access it from the home screen.

I'm not sure what causes it, but I can usually get into the camera app after a second try.

What does it say when you try to open the flashlight? Are you using the OEM one or a downloaded app? May be a permissions thing that was removed unknowingly?

flashlight doesnt work for app or OEM. I uninstalled downloaded one. When I open camera from lock screen or from home page, I get a black screen with the return symbol... then white box saying, "Unfortunately the camera has stopped"

Mine has not done this. What if you restart in Safe Mode and try it that way?

The only time I've had this happen, a reboot solved the problem. Maybe clear the cached data for the app?
