My wife's S6 auto rotation stopped working. We tried various workarounds and suggested solutions. We eventually found it to be a hardware issue, and it sounds like it's something common for the S6 Edge folks.
If you're experiencing issues with auto rotation, quickly do a hardware check by dialing *#0*#, tap sensor, and if the "X" is stuck on -32768, then exchange for a new one. I got on T-Mobile chat, skipped all the BS and mentioned my “X” is stuck on -32768, and customer service said they're overnighting a new device. No questions asked, so guessing they're aware of the hardware issue.
This is probably why https://youtu.be/e2p_p3Dh5PE:cool:
So its been well over 20 days since i purchased my Mi A2 from Amazon India and just a few days back Im starting to see dust flecks in my main camera. Sensor. I guess its something to do with the module and the back cover, as i can see a tiny amount of space there.
On contacting Xiaomi India, they said that I should give it for cleaning and my issue will be resolved.
I think that this issue will keep on happening and I want to replace the device.
There is also an issue with my Bluetooth wireless earphones. Android seems to show the battery levels incorrectly always. I checked it with other phones.
What do you guys think?
Do you also have the same problem?
And what about the Smart Lock? The customer care says to do a factory reset. Which didn't work. Obviously.
Meh.
When I got the OP7p I had the ghost touches issue, I thought it was just a hardware defect so I exchanged it, the second one did not have this issue, I use Google pay on a daily basis, before the update that fixed the ghost touches I had not a single issue with Google pay, but after the update I have to get the phone closer to the terminal for Google pay to actually work.
We all know that it was NFC the cause of the ghost touches, but it seems that to fix the rich issues, OP had to lower the strength of NFC, unfortunately it cause another issue for someone like me.
My phone popped up with an update the other day. My wedding day no less. It was the one with the July security patch and said camera improvements.
Now it seems like auto focus is broken on my camera. I have tried resetting the settings in the camera app. The wide angle lense looks fine. I've tried 3rd party camera apps and they are the same. One of them popped up a message saying the lens could be dirty but I know it's not.
I'll likely try a factory reset next before I send it back but just wondering if anyone else has this issue. Not sure if it's a hardware or software issue.
Ok so I've read online... Hit it!
Sure enough a sharp tap on the side and it suddenly auto focused still not sure if that's hardware or software but it seems many people on the Samsung forum have the same issue.
Wow...that sounds scary..almost like OIS locked the lens and was not letting go.
Yeah I'm still not sure if it's a hardware fault or what but it can't be healthy for it. I'm glad I'm not the only one but a little worried about it.
There has got to be more people with this issue?!
I am also facing the same issue since the August software update.From my previous experience with note 20 ultra I can tell that is a software bug that can be fixed by an update.But I wonder when they addresses the issue and fix it.

My network O2 have accepted it as a repair request. I have had an email saying they are sending out a REPLACEMENT device. Not my original one repaired... I'm wondering if this means it is indeed a hardware fault.
Same problem here also. Blurry on zoom. Zoom doesn't work anymore. Not bigger than x9.9
Same here since the last update. I'd say odds on 90% Chance software issue rather than hardware.
The July update is the issue I think. Before then no issues at all
I'm nothing this too. Stuck on the the July update here in Aus and thr camera constantly blurry
My front camera stopped working suddenly. Whenever I switch to the front cam in the camera app, it freezes. I tried changing various ROMs but the same result. Is my front camera busted? What is the likelihood of it being water damaged?

Try to flash stock ROM via PC and miflash.
If the front cam isn't working again in my opinion then hardware damaged.
Hey did you find any way to fix it?

This is a very big problem. Xiaomi fkd up big time. Users who updated their phones with miui 13 faced this issue. The service center guys are telling me it is a motherboard issue and asking 10k for the repair. Even though it is a faulty update that is the problem. Hundreds of users are facing this issue. I am thinking of registering a consumer complaint. Why should we pay for their mistake?

A lot of users (especially those manufactured in 2021) have this issue with front camera dying. I'm not entirely sure whether devices manufactured in 2022 have this issue fixed as far as I know, no one has reported having the front camera dead yet in those units but I think it is because of the device being new, we'll see.
According to users from Telegram, this happens because the thermal paste in the motherboard melted or disconnected. So heat plays a big factor with the front camera dying. Next symptoms, again according to users who reported, will cause the audio from the speakers to be lowered to the point where it is silent, next is screen dying and possibly bricking the phone.
Meaning, that even if you're on MIUI with a locked bootloader or on a Custom ROM, you won't be safe from the front camera dying. Thermal management has been a big issue with our device as even I can't prevent the phone from easily reaching 40°C. But, there are more reported cases of front camera dying on Custom ROM users or those that flash a different ROM frequently than those on Stock MIUI.
As for the fixes for this issue, only option is to go to the nearest Service Center and claim warranty (if applicable) or request for the motherboard to be fixed. Another option would be to go to a local repair shop and ask for a CPU Reballing of the motherboard.
For preventing this issue, I would say to never let the device get hot. I'd say at around 38-40°C would be the stopping point and let the device cool off. Following what Xiaomi's regulation on the recommended device temperature of 0-40°C found in safety thingy in About Phone (stock rom).

I am not paying anything. I am going to consumer court. This happened with poco x3 pro too and they all got either motherboard replaced or a new phone entirely.
I joined that telegram group and others too want a replacement.

Welp good luck then. Yeah on Poco X3 Pro case it's even worse with the whole phone bricking. I think Poco M2 Pro has the same issue as sweet with the front cam dying situation too. I guess going for cheap options does sometimes bite you back.

I have had the same issue with custom ROMs recently, but when I flashed the official ROM back onto my phone this morning, I got the camera functionality back. I then went through the process of flashing a custom ROM onto my phone and then the camera issue was back again.
I've been searching since last night on how to fix this? I had an Android 12 version of Evo-X on my Poco x3 NFC, and that worked fine, the issue only arising when I updated to the Android 13 version.

Imho it could be a missing camera driver in that A13 custom rom. (I had this too with RN8 and A10 custom).
You can check the drivers with the app "Device info HW" and see how many camera drivers are installed under "supported"
If you do this with stock and custom A13 rom and you count less camera drivers on the last one, that could be the reason.
In the picture you see 12 camera drivers inside CrDroid 7.16

I've also been getting the same issue with A12 based ROMs however.
I flashed the default MIUI back onto my phone last night and its currently working as normal again.
Disappointing because stock MIUI is awful.

I'm sure the front cam issues originated from the Indian models (Note 10 Pro/Pro Max)
