Updates to the version of Lollipop of the Android operating system do not get rid of the controversy. The protagonist of one of the latest problems related to the Android 5.1 Lollipop update is the Nexus 5, and it turns out that a large group of users has made it known that the Android 5.1 update generates problems with the Camera application in this smart phone. The issue appears to affect users randomly, so users planning to install the Nexus 5 Android 5.1 Lollipop update should be aware of this risk.
The Nexus 5 camera problem with Android 5.1 Lollipop appears the moment an application (Twitter or Facebook, for example) tries to access the mobile camera (the moment a user wants to take a picture to upload it directly to a social network, for example). At that moment, the camera application suffers a crash that prevents its execution, and the only thing users find is a pop-up message with the name of " Camera error " and with the message " It is not possible to connect to the camera ".

Although the official Google forums are already aware of the problem, at the moment there is no specific date for the distribution of the update that will solve the camera problems that some owners of the Nexus 5 suffer. The Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update is already around the corner, and - assuming these rumors are true - we don't know how likely Google will have enough time to introduce the camera bug fix in this distro, so it may be the case that users have to wait for another additional update to be able to use the camera application normally.
Según reportan los usuarios que están sufriendo este error, de momento no existe ninguna solución definitiva al problema del error de la aplicación de la cámara del Nexus 5 después de la actualización de Android 5.1 Lollipop. Algunos usuarios aseguran que han podido utilizar con normalidad la aplicación después de reiniciar completamente el móvil, aunque tarde o temprano el problema vuelve a aparecer en el momento en el que una aplicación externa trata de acceder a la cámara.
In fact, some users have also reported that the Nexus 5 camera app problem also appears when the LED Flash is on for a long period of time (the problem occurs in a similar way: Users leave the LED Flash on for a certain period of time (to use it as a flashlight, for example) and then, when trying to enter the camera application, they find the error message).
