Good evening.
A few months ago, I replaced my broken screen on OPPO FIND x3 Neo.
Since then, the camera app closes on its own when I launch it.
I replaced my front camera but still the same.
I have 2 hypotheses.
Either OPPO blocks the camera if it is not an original screen, or my mobile does not recognize the screen.
What do you think?

My fiancé bought an X5 Max Pro it has no more than 30 days.
The camera app crashed, we had to close it and when we've opened it again, only the front camera is working and it's flipped vertically.
There is no deal to make the rear camera works. Tried to wipe app data already.
Any idea of what would be of help?
Thanks
Not really an issue I think but does anyone know why the front camera selfies at night appear extremely soft and bad ? I tried the native Samsung camera app, the Google pixel camera port ( the s10 camera day one ) and even tried an application called Fv-15 . Is that just the quality i should expect from the phone and does anyone have a good solution?
Thanks !
Actually I got a Note 9 Silver from Bestbuy, then after 6 months the device started to restart by itself.
Turns out the whole sensor array, camera, iris scanner, was broken.
The solution was a replacement, so take it to your tech support and have them run a hardware test.
Sadly QA with Samsung is just nah..
Good afternoon,
I have a Huawei P30 Pro VOG-L09, and after I did last month's software update, front camera stopped working. Whenever I launch the camera it crashed and keeps closing the camera app and opening back again. At some time the front camera will get a still photo and crashes again. Back camera is working normal.
I donwloaded another camera app but still does not work. Resetted cache of cameras, and even waited for the new update which I did yesterday. But still it dowsn't work
What can I do?
Thanks,
Darryl

Hi Darryl90,
i have the same problem with a huawei p40 pro, i even rolled back to the lowest emui and replaced the front camera, but it still doesn't work. how did you fix your issue? may be i can try it too
thank you
Hi,
After the first 2020 ota update the camera started to get blurred and now is completely useless.
So i looked at the changelog and the update "fixed" something related to QRcode reading. So they must have messed something up.
Anyone knows anything about it?
Model: ZE620KL 128gb rom, updated to latest firmware, rooted with magisk and with twrp.
Thanks.
Additionally, wide camera works fine so far. But still it is strange that sometimes the main camera works and right after few minutes it gets all blurr again.
Hello, I have the same problem. It looks like the update killed a part of the camera. Your OIS is broken now. You can either replace your camera (around $10) or, as I did it, you can try to tap on the camera module. It may fix it temporary. A little bump could also work.
I am having a similar issue. Autofocus works fine for images close to the camera. Seems to be related to the QR code update mentioned by @Gyplay.
My phone has been serviced 3 times during warranty (free). It just died 20 days after receiving it. Then, around its 4th month of life it stopped holding charge. Around it's 10th month it just died again. No falls, not a single scratch and no liquid spills...
Now I have been living with this issue with the camera for almost a year...
Never had issues with any of my previous phones...
Perhaps I was unlucky, but will never buy an asus phone again.
Hi all,
I recently purchased S20 FE 5g (Snapdragon, india) few days back for my wife. The screen of her previous phone Redmi k20 broke after a fall and screen was not available (and even if so it was going to cost around 50-60% of phone's original purchased value. So instead we decided to buy new phone. And after lot of back and forth we settled for S20 FE.
The main camera is good. But the front camera and selfie is really poor for this kind of phone and price. In fact Redmi K20 which was almost half of the price of this one had better front camera.
The photos are grainy and blurry half of the times. And smoothening effect even after turning off all filters. This doesn't have autofocus I am aware. But most of the phones do not have for front camera.
Night mode and Gcam improves it somewhat but overall very disappointing front camera.
I checked with service centre and they mentioned there are no hardware or software issues. So I cannot get any return or refund as well.
Shockingly very few reviewers mentioned the issues with front camera and overall camera reviews were good. Now after doing some research see many users complaining about front camera. Seen some posts here and many on reddit as well. My 3 years old Pixel 3xl takes miles better photos and even almost 2.5 years old Redmi K20 was better in front camera marginally which was almost half of the price.
Given S20 FE was released almost 1 and half years back I do not have any hope of fixing the front camera by software updates from Samsung (they would have already done by now)
Or if anyone here have any idea if the front camera can be improved by some tweaks? (already tried night mode and gcam which are better but anything for normal shots?)

Is it better than the stock camera?
stock camera and stock camera app are two completely different things. Sometimes custom apps perform better.
You should look at it, then you can decide. I have the luck that I did not buy the same phone..
I bought the S20 FE and back then there was a screen bug that was enough for the seller to take the phone back - you'd have to search for the thread but it involves multi-touch on the screen.
There's an app you can DL to check it but it shows as when you do multi-touch swipes the screen malfunctions. Might work with your retailer as a faulty phone?
I would return it.
Try clearing the system cache and cam data first.
If the cam app has been updated, roll back to factory loaded version.
Also try in safe mode to rule out a 3rd party app causing the issue.

Ok. I am unable to find out the app. Could you share the link?

Tried the first and 3rd suggestions but same result. Second one means factory reset?

It's better to find the root cause. A factory reset is the last option. It's used after a major firmware upgrade, if a poorly written app alters hidden user settings or in the case of malware.
Problem being is you never learn what the root cause was... if the issue reappears in the future.
In the long run a conservative troubleshooting approach wastes less of your time. Use factory reset as a last ditch option. Always clear the system cache before you go full nuke as it can fix many strange glitches.
Also try a hard reboot (simulates pulling battery).
Did you do any firmware upgrades?
Did you use SmartSwitch to help load this phone?
If so factory reset. Do Not use SmartSwitch on the next load...

It's called Touch Screen Test - there's a thread on Reddit about it here...
NOTE: Put a www. in front of the addresses and copy them to your browser - if I put the link it posts the entire threads in this post, which seems a bit impolite for others.

I found another thread that claims it was fixed in updates so check you have the latest firmware also.

For me i found that i get the touchscreen issue, more like the glide keyboard plays up
Reboot always fixes it.
And its usually after phone has been on continually for days on end that it acts up
As for the front camera, I agree its poor.
I find i have to add colour to the images and chuck on the warm filter to full to get warmth.
I had the same bad luck of buying this phone. Have been facing the same issue. But there is something surprising I have found in the front camera of this device (S20 FE). See the difference between the photo mode and video mode of Front camera. I found the difference quite noticeable. This confirms that there is nothing wrong with the front camera of this device but definitely with its software. In video mode of Front Camera I see no lag as in photo mode and the camera is as smooth as it could be. Kindly see the difference and do let me know.
