Looking for help, I replaced the LCD screen on my note 20 ultra now the front selfie camera will not come on when I try it says warning camera failed.
The replacement that I bought came with the frame the front camera and the LCD screen everything works as normal as it should except for the camera the camera worked fine before I put the new LCD screen in. Little research and supposedly possibly the camera I got with the new screen was the international variant I have the Snapdragon note 20 ultra and was told those cameras are not compatible with the US version so I bought a US version camera and put it in still doesn't work I've done everything I can think of soft restarts restart in a safe mode only thing I haven't done is a factory reset I don't know how that would fix it but is that an option? I was also told to take my old camera and put it in with the new frame which I would have done had I'd known beforehand and thrown everything away so that camera is gone I figured hey I got a new camera why use the old one right? Any help or ideas would be gratefully appreciated I've made sure the connections are good in the phone I've checked several times like I said everything is fine except for the front camera
I just got done doing a screen/frame replacement on a Note 20 Ultra. I purchased a international unit, and the same thing happened to me. I just swapped over the original camera, and it worked fine. I believe Samsung paired the front camera on the Note 20. You're more than likely going to have to have it paired again. With Samsung releasing their parts through Ifixit soon, you maybe able to get that part working.

I have a problem with the rearward camera. Today I was taking a college photo and opened the camera and it looked nothing, everything looks blurry. Arriving home I opened the phone to clean the camera thinking it was dirty, but nothing, everything looks blurry.
A if you take the phone for service of my company, but as we wanted to release the bootloader not accept me even if it still has warranty cell.
I wonder if anyone knows where I can find a new camera module for my phone. It would be a shame to use leave for two months I just have to.
Clarify that the problem has to do with the software already changed ROMs and the problem is the same.
The problem is hardware but can not find any place that sells the camera for refaccion.
So I jsut updated my google camera app yesterday and was eager to try any new features and test the camera, when all of a sudden I noticed that there is a dark blemish right in the middle of the screen. I am 100% sure it wasnt there when i bought it, as I did tested it extensively. At first I thought that it was actually a screen defect or that there is a smudge on the lenses.
It appears on every photo, HDR or not. It is best visible on light background. You can check the attached test photo i did.
I am not a huge photography fan, but it does bother me alot knowing that my brand new 2 months old nexus defected. Its rooted ofcourse, so there is no guarantee.
I read somewhere that this is caused by a dust particle inside the camera lenses.
So I just wanted to know whether someone else is suffering from that exact same issue. And if there is an easy way to cope with that problem, e.g. disassembling the lense or forcing air into it :silly:
So, yes, any opinions would be welcome.
Thanks guys
p.s. Also, if anyone else had experienced it, Im curious what case (if any) had they been using? lol I actually noticed the problem after removing and inserting my N5 back into my spigen neo hybrid a couple of times, which is actually quite a challenge. So Im wondering whether that hasnt something to do with it
I wouldn't advise you to open the device up yourself.. You will surely loose warranty if you mess up.
If you think it's a hardware issue then Flash the factory images from Google to return to stock
, reset the tamper flag, lock the bootloader and send it in..

Yep, I can confirm the same experience as you! Only appeared yesterday! I have the Rev11 Hardware.
A bit of googling did reveal others with the same issue...
I have tried a can of compressed air, tapping phone...No joy, it's still there...
I have also tried different camera apps to confirm. Interestingly it was post updating the google camera app too. (but i do not believe this too be the root cause, I've had many specs of dust in my DSLRs before and to appears to me to be dust on the rear of the lens or on the sensor!) I would expect these to be sealed on our phones!
RMA, warranty...are looming...any other ideas peeps?
Cheers

I tried the tapping trick too - did not work for me either
I'm still contemplating over the idea of reverting to stock, locking the bootloader and sending in my faulty unit. It would probably take a couple of weeks and I don't want to part ways with my N5 for so long. But living with that nasty blemish on my camera is equally frustrating
I'm going to try this.

I had this issue a few months back; the image you posted looks identical to the issue I had.
Google covered it under warranty and sent me a new device. They asked me to do a full factory reset to confirm it wasn't software related. The process was pretty smooth: if they do send you a new device, you just send your N5 back once it comes so you're not stuck without a phone for a while or anything. They do put a hold on your credit card for the price of the phone until they get your phone, though.
I had it rooted and everything prior to sending it in, but I unrooted/reset the tamper flag before sending it in (and did a factory reset obviously).
I have the same problem but with Nexus 5x. Not 100% sure was the dark spot in the middle at the beginning or not. Now the device is about a week old.
I just bought the S7, and I noticed that the front camera is just bad.
It looks like the focus is off. it's so bad that it's even worst than my old S4 front camera.
here are examples:
imgur.com/a/bUcq2
the S4 are the left ones, and S7 are the right ones. at the S4, you can see each individual hair (on the eyebrows or the beard), but at the S7 everything is just blurry.
is my device defective, or it's just how the front camera functions on the S7?
I have seen many people reporting this issue, so I really wonder if returning the device and getting another one will do any good.

It won't

well...
I just don't get how this issue doesn't get more buzz. I mean, other people don't notice, or just don't care enough of selfies?
Also, I'm pretty sure there won't be any software fix for that - 6 months have passed since release.
So basically I bought a costly flagship phone with only rear camera- cuz the front camera is simply embarrassing, I cant use it.
There is a thread here on xda about this problem, but no one came up with a solution. Some said that models made in Vietnam (such as mine) have a bigger focus issues than those made in Korea. The problem is that focus on the front cam is set to infinity, so it doesn't focus close objects correctly. Some people went to samsung and got 3-4 new devices and all were having the same issue.
I think that it COULD be fixed with an software update, because I found people talking about it on various forums. But until that happens (I hope), try holding it 30-40cm away and it will be decent. Turn off beauty face aswell.
Hi everyone,
Hope you are all safe and well.
A dark spot appareared in the main rear camera of my S10e (photo attached) about a month ago. I tried all different tips (shaking the phone, dropping it, etc ,etc). It clearly seems the particle is within or above the sensor, as I cleaned the lens several times. Only solution they gave me at Samsung is to replace the camera module. Only problem is that I bought this from a HK retailer and they won´t do it here, unless I send the phone over there to repair (I am currently in Spain!). So my question is: does anyone know if the camera module is specific for the SM-G9700, or modules from other S10e models should work as well?. My plan (and I think only alternative to fix this) is to buy the main camera module online and ask a local repair shop to replace the module. Any suggestions, tips, help will be really aprreciated. Thanks
Looks almost like a little bit of debris fallen from somewhere else inside the phone after manaufacture. Samsung seal up their phones pretty well. Glue together job. Pity you can't just send the phone back....
Hi Everyone
My sony X5 (j9210) has issues with the camera.
First the wide angle lens stopped working, when i switched to it i have a black screen and the camera app would crash.
After while all the lenses stopped working besides the front camera, this issue was not only on the stock camera app also on other apps that used my camera.
I registered my phone for reparation under warranty (by a certified sony repair shop) and when I got it back everything worked again like new.
Now a few days later the same issue is appearing, my wide angle lens has stopped working and i'm pretty sure the same thing will happen all over again.
I'm incredibly frustrated and sad about this situation since it was a very expensive phone and i'm afraid this will never get resolved unless i get another phone.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Edit: My phone is running the latest firmware as of now 55.A.1.9.21.
I'm crying for help right now.
Thanks in advance

Sir, i'm facing the exactly same problem.
Did you find a solution beside sending to repair?
