Another Pixel 3 bug has been discovered and this seems to be just as serious, if not a deal-breaker: it prevents camera access.<\/b>
\nWe\u2019re trying hard to keep up with all the Pixel 3 bugs that were reported over the past couple of weeks and months. Some of these include text messages disappearing, memory management, and disappearing photos, to name a few. Then there\u2019s the distorted sound and multiple notches issues in the case of the XL. Google is aware of most, if not all of these, and working on fixing them, but another Pixel 3 bug has been discovered. This time it seems to simply disable the phone\u2019s camera.
This can manifest itself in different ways, but the outcome is always the same: the inability to use the camera. Sometimes firing up the camera app results in a \u201cfatal error\u201d message. Other times turning on the camera generates a \u201ccan\u2019t connect to camera\u201d message in a third party app, followed by inability to access the camera moving forward.
Often times this can be fixed by simply rebooting the phone. However, in some cases, users report that the issue is there even after a Factory Reset or a Safe Mode boot. One theory on why this happens is that the camera app is not properly \u201creleasing\u201d the camera after use, so when a subsequent launch of the camera happens, the app believes the camera is still in use.
Some users have reported that their devices were not replaced because of this issue. Engadget reports that Google representatives \u201chaven\u2019t made it clear as to whether or not there will be a fix\u201d. This could be a deal breaker for many, as the camera is one of the main selling points of the Pixel 3. Not to mention that not being able to use the camera on any phone is rather frustrating.<\/p>\n
