Are you experiencing a camera issue with your Tecno K9 Device? Maybe not really Tecno K9 but other Android devices?

When you launch your camera it pops-up an error message like this:

"Can't connect to the camera. Please make sure to close other apps that may use camera or flashlight."

I've experienced this issue too but in a Tecno K9 (Also applicable to all Android devices with similar camera issues).
This started all of a sudden, my phone never fell or got bricked or infected by a virus, just on its own! So I had no other option than to troubleshoot myself.

Troubleshooting:

First did a factory reset, after a successful reset, I launched the camera app, it displayed, (so I thought it has worked out), then I tried taking a picture then the camera app got frozen. The camera got stuck that I couldn't do anything more but to minimize and close the app. Then I decided to change the Operating System (OS) i.e flash the device. I downloaded it's firmware and flashed successfully. After flashing the device, I performed a hard reset and boot the device after.

Again, I tried opening the camera app, It opened but after taking a picture it got froze and stuck! Then I realised this problem is not a Software related issue.

I took the device to a hardware technician at my end, who has the same type of device but a scrap one, So I paid for the camera to be replaced and after he did that my device worked fine!

So I decided to make this post as this experience is worth sharing which could help people facing similar issues in their Android devices.
