Problem 1: Camera does not start
If your smartphone's camera is not starting, it could be due to a software or hardware issue. First, try restarting your phone. If that doesn't resolve the issue, check for available software updates for your device. If the camera still does not start, you may need to replace the camera module.

Image quality can be affected by many factors, such as dirt on the lens, improper camera settings, or hardware issues. Clean the camera lens with a soft, dry cloth. Check your camera settings and make sure they are optimized for the lighting situation. If the image quality is still poor, you may need to replace the camera module.
Problem 3: Camera does not focus
