The Camera app opening itself every 2 minutes on your S24 Ultra could be caused by various factors, including software glitches, rogue apps, or hardware issues. Here are some potential solutions to help you resolve the issue:
*Software-related solutions*
1. *Restart your device*: Sometimes, a simple reboot can resolve the issue. Press and hold the Power button and the Volume down button simultaneously for 10 seconds. 2. *Clear Camera app cache and data*: Go to _Settings_ > _Apps_ > _Camera_ > _Storage_ > _Clear cache_ and _Clear data_. 3. *Disable Camera app notifications*: Go to _Settings_ > _Apps_ > _Camera_ > _Notifications_ and toggle off _Allow notifications_. 4. *Check for software updates*: Ensure your device is running the latest software. Go to _Settings_ > _Software update_ > _Download and install_.
*App-related solutions*
1. *Check for rogue apps*: Some apps might be triggering the Camera app to open. Review your installed apps and uninstall any suspicious or unused apps. 2. *Disable Bixby Routines*: If you have Bixby Routines enabled, try disabling them to see if it resolves the issue. Go to _Settings_ > _Advanced features_ > _Bixby Routines_ and toggle off _Bixby Routines_.
*Hardware-related solutions*
1. *Inspect your device's hardware*: Check your device's camera lens and surrounding area for any physical damage or debris. 2. *Perform a soft reset*: Press and hold the Power button and the Volume down button simultaneously for 10 seconds to perform a soft reset.
*Additional steps*
1. *Boot your device in Safe Mode*: Press and hold the Power button until your device restarts. Release the Power button and immediately hold down the Volume down button. This will boot your device in Safe Mode, which can help you identify if a third-party app is causing the issue. 2. *Perform a factory reset*: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may want to consider performing a factory reset. However, this will erase all your data, so be sure to back up your important files and information before doing so.
If none of these solutions work, it's possible that there's a hardware issue with your device. In this case, consider:
1. *Contacting Samsung support*: Reach out to Samsung's customer support for further assistance or to schedule a repair. 2. *Visiting a Samsung authorized service center*: Take your device to a Samsung authorized service center for a professional diagnosis and repair.

It's something with settings.. I did a factory rest and it stopped and then when I started setting up and was about to finish it started happening again.. at last I did a reset to setting. And now it has stopped.. just hoping it doesn't happen again..
