Try to simulate dropping it?

Hahahahah you sir get an upvote for creativity

I have a 9T and I’m terrified reading this thread 😮

Or run a diagnostics by going to settings about phone clicking on the kernel a bunch of times until it opens up you’re diagnostic page and then test your camera’s functionality along with other hardware in your device…..delete and remove any data or apps of camera applications that you’ve downloaded in order to fix your device and reboot your device. Before doing the diagnostics and troubleshooting your phone’s hardware. And then uninstall the latest phones camera software and then go ahead and update it to the current version and then shoot your phone because downloading extra apps can possibly interfere with the results from diagnostics.

\> you can suck air

i lol’d

Most custom ROMs use the manufacturers drivers and firmwares, so support for low level hardware like this should be baked in. Hardware upport in apps (switching between multiple cameras, or S Pen right click menu, for example) is another story.

Don’t use force, just use bigger hammer.

I guess pushing it in is a short-term solution but your selfies only going to get worse as the time goes on so maybe try not to use it as much. Until you can either open your phone up and clean the parts or replace it

thanks, I don’t know why I didn’t see it first. maybe he edited his message

It still works in all custom ROMs I have tried

Well the gesture and status bar give me the idea that you are not on stock. Many 9T/9T Pro ROMs have this thing where they just ‘forget’ to retract the camera. It doesn’t happen that often, for some it doesn’t at all. Now I know that you fixed it, but it might happen again.

If it does, search for the motor app, if there’s an OxygenOS port thread on xda you might find a link there, OOS ports are known for this.

\*chucks it on the bed, bounces off the bed onto the hardfloor\* HEHE

As somebody who doesn’t care about taking selfies, and who likes beautiful full screen displays, and hates camera notches, it’s the greatest idea ever.

Thanks, but that what i usually do 😂😂, just let it fall on the bed or something

Congratulations, it’s a boy.

ok now I’m crying

I’ve had that bug in reverse with GCAM but it goes away after a restart

Just turn it off and wait a few minutes then turn it back on…..if that doesn’t work then take it to a repair center.

ohgod, think i’ll stick to a drop notch ..

probably there is an hardware problem, you can also use tweezers to raise the camera

I guess when it’s been in my pocket for that long…

lol wut?

Why would the mechanical lift have anything to do with the camera sensor output quality?

I’m not sure if this feature also applies to phone with the camera malfunctioning and stuck in the open position you would probably just risk damaging the camera even further.

Also if a different ROM has been installed the likelihood of this feature being supported and working if a different operating system has been installed is highly unlikely.

Ok thanks for all the help, It has fixed now. You guys were right it need to be pushed fully in. 🙏🏻👍

YOU HAVE ONE?

think i might stick with drop notch ..

Yeah there’s that. I didn’t know if it was a custom ROM. Still not sure if it is either. But I think a well maintained ROM should cover that.

Push harder.

I mentioned it as another way to make the system retract the camera on its own without any external force. I don’t see how that risks damage. I didn’t mean to actually let the phone fall to the ground, which would obviously damage it.

😂😂👋🌊
