And recently, this device continues to encounter a new error related to the camera cannot take pictures, cannot even launch in some cases. This appears to be a very serious error when only a small number of Pixel 2 devices are affected.
Specifically, with the affected Pixel 2 device, when the user starts up the camera application, a black screen with the message appears with the message “Camera error – Camera error encountered a fatal error”. – Camera of the device has encountered a serious error). This message will be displayed every time the user opens the Camera app, even if the device is restarted, it cannot be fixed.
Google in a post on Twitter answered on this issue. Google said it was aware of the problem and is currently working to fix it as soon as possible. The temporary solution provided by Google with affected devices is to try to turn on airplane mode and restart the camera application, or clear the camera application cache by accessing the Settings> Apps & notifications> Show all apps> Camera> Memory> Clear the cache and restart the device. However, some users report that the camera’s camera is still faulty even when the aircraft mode or try to clear the cache of the application.
