Camera won't zoom - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hello, I've had this Samsung Galaxy S8 + since few months. I don't remember if I was able to zoom while in front facing camera mode but now I can't zoom at all.
It says cant zoom in this mode. I tried turning all option on/off but nothing works.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Are you using a ROM? Is it rooted? What version of android? Have you tried a factory reset?

[Q] JB Video camcorder zoom problem

Hello all, I am having a problem with the video camera on my phone. When taking video in "normal" mode it looks like it is way zoomed in, "Limit for SMS" mode has proper zoom as does regular camera. Is this normal? I cant get anyone into the frame in "normal" camcorder mode unless im 10 feet away. I have tried 2 different roms JB 4.1.1 and now Embryo 6.8 and its the same in either rom. Thanks in advance for any help.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S II camera interface is rotated

Hey guys, can you help me? My Samsung Galaxy S II's camera interface or the menus on the sides are stuck on landscape mode even though auto-rotation is off and the phone is held upright. When I turn off the auto-rotation, my camera interface is stuck on landscape mode but other apps such as messaging or browser aren't. And if I turn the auto-rotation on, my camera reverts back to portrait mode and works normally when you rotate it. I don't like having the auto-rotation turned on because it affects other apps. I tried clearing camera data and cache, even doing a factory reset but the problem won't go away. I also tried lots of calibration test (even the chihuahua thing from *#0*#) but it showed that my sensors work fine. Fortunately, the pictures taken by the camera are somehow oriented in the correct position. It's only the interface. But it's very disturbing to look at. My Samsung Galaxy S II model is GT-I9100G. Running on Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread. Anyway you can help me will be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Portrait camera mode not working

Hi guys,
I don't know why but suddenly portrait mode stoped working on the back and front cameras. I won't deffocus the background. I've S Pro Camera and it DOES deffocus the background with the front and back cameras, so I'm thinking it's not a hardware issue (though I don't know it the S Pro Camera portrait mode is done via software). I've also already cleared the stock camera data and cache. Is there a way for me to reinstall the stock camera to see if it fixes the issue? Or any other solution that won't imply me doing a factory reset?

S10e blurry camera

I tries factory reset and in safe mode, doesn't help. Can you help me with advice? Is it software problem or should I visit my vendor?

Main camera stopped working

Guys my main camera stopped working.
The process is not blocked by any other app.
I tried service menu and test camera, it doesn't perform the test, it fails.
Only way to take pictures is to use gcam v1.4 and manually choosing wide or zoom camera.
When u choose 1x camera it stays black and crashes.
Any ideas?

Have you factory reset?
I got the same problem. Just got a black screen and camera app would freeze. Did a factory reset, camera was extremely choppy for a minute or so and now back to nothing.
Tried another factory reset. It seems like if you change the default resolution settings to anything (even tapping on 'FullVision' in settings), it almost breaks the camera. Best to leave it at default 4:3 12 MP resolution.
Seems like a "driver" issue, good work LG.
Did any of you ever find a fix for this? Just got a Korean V50 Thinq and the camera is 99% of the time crashing. I tried installing gcam mods as well and they also crash, primarily while using the main camera.
Got it repaired via LG warranty. They replaced the main/motherboard. Phone has been fine ever since.
Same thing happened to my phone and warranty is expired. I tried the hard reset and may other ways, but nothing helped. Did anyone find a solution for it?
