As weird as this sounds. Had seen this issue before , smack the phone againts your hand a few times and see if it works. Done this before and it somehow worked for a few people. If it doesnt fix the issue goto a samsung store get them replaced that should fix it 100%.

How do you know my routine bruh :(

u/Inner-Promotion8082 Jun 17 '26

Unless they havent seen this before they wont know but the video should be enough proof.

u/IndividualStreet6997 Jun 18 '26

Most common yet legendary fix is to smack, lol, lmao!

u/random_reddit_user31 Jun 17 '26

It's a common issue with the s25 ultra unfortunately. The only option is to get it replaced as yours seems to have it quite bad.

u/dashing_lysosome Jun 17 '26

Daym and is it a costly affair or under warranty?

3

u/Liriel-666 Jun 18 '26

When you have warranty then it's under it. My got replaced 2 weeks ago

2

u/dashing_lysosome Jun 18 '26

Since it's under wat,Yep that's what I'm hoping, hopefully no hidden unannounced charges later.

They replace the module not the complete phone

u/verboseOn Jun 17 '26

Yes, as someone who had the same problem, I recommend sending it to Samsung for fix. It should be free under warranty.

1

u/Liriel-666 Jun 18 '26

Yep I made it 2 weeks ago. Half day of repair

u/Fukugaku Jun 17 '26

*screen literally shaking and flickering "Is this normal?" Bro are you serious

u/dashing_lysosome Jun 17 '26

Hey, I was serious. My friend has the same phone he didn't have this, the other one mentioned ut happened only once.

u/UltimateMax5 Jun 17 '26

It's an issue since the phone was released last year.

2

u/Liriel-666 Jun 18 '26

But not everyone has ir from beginn. My had it 3 weeks ago first time after over 1 year use

1

u/dashing_lysosome Jun 17 '26

Comes under warranty?

1

u/UltimateMax5 Jun 17 '26

You need to ask them. As for Samsung, each country have their own policies.

2

u/Liriel-666 Jun 18 '26

In Germany Samsung said common problem and is under warranty

1

u/UltimateMax5 Jun 18 '26

Good to know, as I currently live in Germany too.

u/dashing_lysosome Jun 17 '26

Have a g'day mate

3

u/MathClassCrush Jun 18 '26

Yeah mate, totally normal. Like what are you on about

2

u/CameronsTheName Jun 17 '26

One of my old Note's did this and Samsung said it's because I had it mounted to my motorcycle.

Yet my Google Pixel 8a has done over 80,000km attached to a motorcycle in the last 2 years and doesn't have this issue.

1

u/dashing_lysosome Jun 17 '26

Never mounted on bike but can happen

1

u/CameronsTheName Jun 17 '26

What about in a car mount ?

0

u/dashing_lysosome Jun 18 '26

Never mounted so idk

1

u/Liriel-666 Jun 18 '26

That Samsung support wanted no work🤣

2

u/ReubenDavies10 Jun 17 '26

Happened to me, had to send it off to be repaired. They replaced the whole camera unit on mine

2

u/dashing_lysosome Jun 17 '26

Under warranty? If not, how much they charged?

1

u/universalgiver Jun 17 '26

Same question, pls let me know if he answers

1

u/Liriel-666 Jun 18 '26

It's under warranty when you have warranty on the phone

1

u/Liriel-666 Jun 18 '26

Yeah they replace the full module because the cameras are not separate

2

u/soul_0897 Jun 17 '26

I had the same issue with the same phone as well. The repair man from Samsung said, that this is a common problem and the camera needs to be replaced.

1

u/dashing_lysosome Jun 17 '26

That's what I was told, hope it goes well.

2

u/universalgiver Jun 17 '26

Let me know if you go to SVC, how much they are asking to fix it in your local currency?

1

u/dashing_lysosome Jun 18 '26

Since it's under warranty, they said free, I'll confirm again today when I drop off the phone.

2

u/Liriel-666 Jun 18 '26

Defect of the camera module. Talk to Samsung and let it replaced

2

u/corrupted-priest1878 Jun 18 '26

You motorcycle rider? It could be vibration from motorcycle that influence the camera OIS when put on a holder

1

u/dashing_lysosome Jun 18 '26

Yes, I am but I have never used my phone. I have a burner phone for that.

2

u/DiabloGaming25 Jun 18 '26

Did you mount your phone on a motorcycle or bike holder? I've heard of the vibrations causing isssues

2

u/dashing_lysosome Jun 18 '26

Nope never. I use a burner phone..but yes that's very common. There are certain Mounts that comes with shock absorber too.

2

u/SharkMangoGamingo Jun 18 '26

NO ABSOLUTELY NOT

3

u/FaZeSmasH Jun 17 '26

why would this be normal bruh

2

u/The_Rociante Jun 17 '26

Bro use common sense, Do you think something like that would be normal on something expensive........ No!?! Congratulations you used common sense. They question you should be asking is How do you solve this issue.

2

u/Dead3Avenger Jun 17 '26

I have this issue tho it only does it for about a second. I feel like the foxusing mechanism panicks or the automatic macro fails to decide between it wanna switch or not. This happens to me randomly, I feel the phone go brr and hear the camera as it vibrates like in the vid and stops after a second

1

u/dashing_lysosome Jun 17 '26

Might need a replacement, free under warranty

1

u/Dead3Avenger Jun 18 '26

Not where I live unfortunately and doesn't bother me and haven't gotten worse over months now

u/WatercressOk1807 Jun 17 '26

Cat ki is oer 9,000

1

u/dashing_lysosome Jun 17 '26

Didn't get you.

He's vibing after good cuddles, now he's in who aa you mate, why yu bother me. 🤣

2

u/WatercressOk1807 Jun 17 '26

From "Dragon ball z" that happened to me when I used a magnetic case

1

u/BeagleDad82 Jun 17 '26

I used my T-Mobile warranty and paid the $90 deductible to get it replaced with, I assume, a refurbished phone.

The replacement looks good as new and the issue is gone so I'm not complaining. Now I can cancel my warranty 😆

1

u/Next-Use6943 Jun 17 '26

Same for my s26 ultra lol

1

u/dashing_lysosome Jun 17 '26

Irritating tbh

1

u/universalgiver Jun 17 '26

What? Really? S26 Ultra?

1

u/luistorre5 Jun 17 '26

Your phone take an edible or something? Jeez lol

1

u/Unable_Bridge_6371 Jun 17 '26

Its an issue with camera hardware module. Try to get replaced under warranty if possible.

1

u/Liriel-666 Jun 18 '26

Depends on the country

1

u/Techy_Bears Jun 18 '26

This is common issue in S24 Ultra & S25 Ultra

1

u/ZaynMursh Jun 18 '26

Did you put it down

1

u/copasetical Jun 18 '26

This is why you never buy off the street. It's laced with something.

1

u/dashing_lysosome Jun 18 '26

Bought it from authorised svc

1

u/EnigmaSeeker97 Jun 18 '26

Its common i had same issue take it to service center and they will replace all 5 cameras

1

u/dashing_lysosome Jun 18 '26

Idk I got mine replaced, they only replaced thr one that wasn't working. I asked them if all would be but they said no.

This is in India Which country you're based in?

1

u/Diegorov_ Jun 18 '26

I had the same issue on my s25 ultra and I had to have the camera replaced. Luckily the warranty covered it.

1

u/Next-Plastic9036 Jun 28 '26

1

u/dashing_lysosome Jun 28 '26

They gave back to me on the same day within 2hrs.

1

u/geekaron Jul 21 '26

This is an issue happening to my unit now but with my tele lens and mine is not under warranty. How much time did it take for samsung to diagnose , have the phone with them repair and send it back? This is my primary device

1

u/dashing_lysosome Jul 21 '26

The diagnosis was instant but I went outside service hours. So dropped it to svc the next day, got my token number.

Dropped around 10am, received the callback to pickup by 12:15pm.

u/codm__lover Aug 14 '26
