Galaxy s8+ camera not working

[bruhandon]

So, I bought a galaxy s8+ and they said that other than the whole back being off, it worked perfectly and I immediately went to the camera because that was what didn't work on my other phone and it says "camera failed" every time, I've tried everything I can find online software wise, I don't know what it is but i have pictures:

Seems like "they" omitted to tell you that the camera is defective as well (maybe something to do with the missing back?). You don't need any special software to use the camera. All of that is baked into Android.

Im getting a back cover that has the lens on it, would that help or no?

Maybe, but doubtful. The camera should still work.

NOTE: Moved to Android Smartphones section.

This is why I don't buy used electronics. Sadly people lie and you get stuck.
