How to fix Warning Camera failed error in Galaxy S7 Edge S6 and S5

How to fix Warning Camera failed error in Galaxy S7 Edge S6 and S5

Barely after 2 months of purchase, my Galaxy S7 Edge got the “Warning: Camera Failed” error that would not allow me to take any photos. Every time I opened the camera app, the screen would go black and give the camera failed warning error. The 12MP, f1.7 lens on Galaxy S7 is one of the best smartphone cameras today and it can even replace your digital cam or even DSLR for normal

everyday shots. So, I was bummed when this awesome camera stopped working. Fortunately, this isn’t a hardware fault but an Android software bug common among Samsung Galaxy smartphones. I have listed below all the methods to fix Warning camera failed error on Samsung Galaxy S7, S6 and S5 phones. The method are lined up in the order of their effectiveness as reported by users.

Solutions: Camera failed problem on Galaxy S5, S6 and S7 Edge – Samsung Galaxy Camera app troubleshooting

Method 1: Disable “Smart Stay” feature

Smart stay basically detects your face and keeps the screen on when you are looking at it. So, this isn’t really a feature you need because you can increase the screen on-time or simple tap on the screen to keep it awake. This feature seems to conflict with the camera app of Samsung devices resulting in failed camera error.

• Go to Settings >> Display >> Turn off “smart stay”
• Reboot your phone

Method 2: Reset settings:

Resetting app settings is the second most effective solution to camera failed error in Samsung Galaxy devices.

• Go to Settings >> Scrool down and select “Backup and Reset”
• Select “Reset Settings” >> Tap “Reset” (Do not select “Factory Reset”)

Now your Samsung app settings will be reset to default and this will fix the Warning: Camera failed error on your Galaxy S7 edge, S6 or S5 smartphone. After this method, you will also need to again add your saved Bluetooth devices and re-enter your Wi-Fi password.

Method 3: Clear data of the Camera app

The clearing cache and data is the most widely used method for fixing Google Play Store related error codes. This might also solve camera app errors.

• Go to Settings >> Applications >> Application Manager
• Select “Camera” >> Force stop >> Tap Storage >> Select “Clear Data”
• Tap “Delete”

Now open the camera app and try taking a picture. If you still get the “Warning: Camera Failed” error message, proceed to the next method.

Method 4: Wipe Cache Partition

Another method to fix Android firmware issues after an update, is to “wipe cache partition” from bootloader.

• Turn your phone off
• Hold power key + home key + volume up at the same time to bring up the bootloader
• Once you reach the bootloader menu, use the volume key to highlight “wipe cache partition”
• Press power button to select that option.
• Now reboot system

Hopefully the Samsung Galaxy smartphone camera failed warning will be fixed by one of the methods. If you have alternative solutions, drop us a comment below.

How to Fix Error 505 in Google Play Store

The Error 505 is a Google Play Store error in Android 5.0 Lollipop and KitKat 4.4. Some apps affected by Error code 505 include Google Play Games, Asphalt 8, Hearthstone, The Walking Dead, Clash of Clans and so on. The fix involves running a simple ADB command in Android SDK, we will come to that later. Many got this error due to the Adobe Air app. So you can try uninstalling the app. This error has been fixed on the latest versions of Android Lollipop so you can also update your version of Lollipop to 5.1 or later to fix it.

This is actually a permission error so clearing cache method may not work. But you can still give it a try. First, clear the cache and data for Google Play Store and Google Service Framework. These methods are explained in detail here: RPC-S:7/RPC-S:5 and Error 963. If those solutions didnt help, try the steps below to fix Google Play Error 505 while installing or updating apps:

How to fix Error 505 in Google Play Store during app download

Method 1: Uninstall conflicting app(s)

If you have multiple apps installed to perform similar function, then the -505 error code maybe caused because those apps are trying to access the same system settings. For example- you may have multiple banking apps installed and both will try to use similar payment settings and protocols. And when these apps are conflicted error 505 is caused. To resolve this issue, simply uninstall the first app and use the other one and vice versa.

Method 2: Uninstall/Re-install

First completely uninstall all the apps that are getting this error in Google Play.  For example if your Blizzard apps are facing error 505, uninstall all of them and reinstall. Also, you may have installed some Android apps from the Amazon store- try uninstalling them and re-installing them via Google Play Store.

Error Formats:  

• Unknown error code during application install "-505"
• "Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft" cant be installed. Try again, and if the problem continues, get help troubleshooting (Error code: -505)

Method 3: ADB Uninstall

Before you begin the steps you have to install the Android SDK on your PC, connect your Android device and perform an ADB uninstall for the app package thats causing the error.

The ADB tool is inside the platform-tools folder inside Android SDK folder. You will have to open command prompt. For Windows users: Start>> in the search box type cmd >> right click and select "Run as Administrator"

From inside the command prompt,  navigate to Android SDK folder. Now you can run the ADB. uninstall command.

After youve installed the Android SDK and appropriate USB drivers follow these steps:

• Perform an ADB uninstall for the app package thats causing the error.  App packages are in this format: com.xx.xx. You can check the app package name by going to Android >> data folder inside the internal memory of your Android device.  
• For example to remove chrome package from your device, the command is: adb uninstall com.android.chrome.

• After successful uninstall you will see a message that says, "success"
• Now reinstall or update the app (or game) from the Play Store

Hopefully the above step gave you some idea about how to fix this issue. If nothing worked you may have to factory reset your device. If you have a better solution for the unknown error 505 please let us know about it in the comments.

How to fix error 501 on Google Play Store during download or installation

How to fix error 501 on Google Play Store during download or installation

Due to error 501 in Google Play Store Android users can’t install, download or update many apps and games on their Android phones or tablets. This problem is caused most of the time if you have multiple apps installations going on in the Play Store. In such case, cancel all the app installations and download them one by one. If you are a custom ROM user, you may get the 501 error code while updating Google Play Services. This is caused because you flashed an incompatible Gapps package or a buggy OS. In such a case, reflashing the OS + Gapps package could be the solution. In my case, the Google Play Store error code –501 popped up while installing an app update. Here are all the possible methods to fix Android error 501 in Google Play:

Android Fix: Google Play Error Code: -501

Method 1: Reinstall

Simply cancel the installation process and try installing the app or game. If that didn’t fix it, uninstall the app/game completely and download it again from Google Play Store.

Method 2: Uninstall updates for Google play Services

This method will probably solve error 501 message while updating Google Play apps like Google Play Services, Google +, Google Play Games, YouTube, Gmail and so on.

• Go to Settings >> Apps >> All
• Scroll and select “Google Play Services”
• Tap “Uninstall updates” and “clear data”
• Also,  select "Google Play Store" and tap "Uninstall updates"
• Again, go to Apps >> All >> select “Google Service framework”
• Tap “Clear Data”
• Open Google Play and download or update an app

Method 3: Resetting App preferences

Resetting app preferences will restore default settings for your apps. This won’t delete any data from your Android device.

• Go to settings >> Apps
• Press menu or the three dots on the top right
• Select “Reset app preferences” >> Tap “OK”

Method 4: For custom ROM users (Cyanogenmod, Paranoid Android, SlimROM etc)

First try reflashing your OS and then a compatible GAPPs package. Go to recovery and wipe cache partition. See if that solved the 501 error in Google Play. If that didn’t work, you will need to entirely wipe the device (factory reset) and then run a fresh installation. For the fresh reinstallation try a different ROM and a new Gapps package. Reboot into recovery and proceed to flash the new zip files. That will almost certainly fix the 501 error message while updating Google Play Services.


Thanks for reading. Hope one of the above methods fixed “Can’t download app due to error code -501” in Google Play Store issue. If you have alternative solutions please suggest them in the comments.

How to fix Error 80004005 while updating installing apps on Windows 10

The Error 0x80004005 is a frequently occurring error that prevents you  from downloading, installing or uptaing apps on Windows apps store. This error is also common in the app store or game store in Xbox 360 and Xbox one. This error is usually caused when you dont have access to the internet. The reasons you may not have your Wi-Fi connected to the internet could be ISP issue, router error or simply some minor operating system bugs. Below are some of the methods you can try to fix the Error 80004005 while updating or installing apps in Windows Store or Xbox store.

How to Fix error 80004005 in Windows Store or Xbox Store

Try a different Wi-Fi/internet connection

The most common cause of the 0x80004005  is a bad internet connection. The first thing you should do is open your browser and run google.com. Is the page opening? If youre getting some kind of server error or no internet connection error, then the problem is with your home internet connection. Sometimes, it can be resolved by simply turning off and turning on your router. Many times it could be a problem with your ISP who is unable to provide you internet connection. (Forgot to pay the bill?). Call them and try to resolve the issue. To check the connection status, you can also look at the Wi-Fi icon on your phone, tablet or PC . If theres no connection, the Wi-Fi icon will have a small cross over it or you can hover over  the icon to see whether "internet access" is available. 

If you are trying to update or install apps on your Windows smartphone or tablet, switch to mobile data connection (3G/4G) and now run the installation from the Windows App Store. Note: It is recommended you use mobile data connection only if youre subscribed to an unlimited data package or a reasonably priced plan because large apps or games can use up your mobile data fast.

Access the game store from your browser

If you are getting the error 0x80004005 while trying to sign in to your Xbox account in your Xbox console, you can open xbox.com  on your desktop browser and sign in. Click "Games"  >> Choose your device >> browse games  >> click "Download to Xbox 360". This will start the download.

Shutdown and Restart your device

Sometimes the connection problem may be a minor bug affecting your Windows PC, mobile or Xbox console. Turn the PC or Xbox off and then turn it back on. Connect to the internet, open the Windows Store and try to download/update the app or game,
