On my old phone I had an issue with the proximity sensor and front facing camera. This led me to holding my phone backwards to take photos and being unable to hang up phone calls.
I think I put up with this for a year and a half.
I did end up figuring out the issue with the proximity sensor but opening up my phone to reconnect the camera module was too much effort for me.
…how did you work that out?!
I wish I could remember - it makes absolutely no sense at all, but it worked :-)
They probably got frustrated and kicked it across the room and it landed upside and started loading.
That’s my head canon anyways.
