After this Feb 8 update the portrait mode selfies and the video call effects stopped working on my Verizon Galaxy S21+. A reboot fixes it but only for a few hours maximum. I even did the dreaded factory reset and that did not work either. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks.
what do you mean by it stopped working? it force closes?
No there is no blur effect and most of the other effects are non functional. Coincidentally video call effects stop working the same exact time so there has to be a connection there. It will work after a reboot but only for a few hours tops. Factory reset did not help. Issue popped up right after the Feb 8 update on Verizon which included updates to both the camera and video call effects.
There are also a few other people who posted about the same issue on the Samsung Community forums.

I am also talking to you on Android Central LOL. Anyway no third party camera apps. I sometimes will take pictures within the WhatsApp camera though. Yes I have submitted multiple reports through the Samsung members app. Thoughts? Could the WhatsApp be the culprit?

Very strange
Since it was new, my TAB S3 rotates to portrait whenever I try to look at FB marketplace. I have tried everything I could find through searches. My wifes S3, bought at same time, stays in landscape mode. We both have screen auto rotate turned on. I even tried turning auto rotate off, it still rotates. Also, when it does this, the pics don,t fit properly on the screen. Help
I had this problem on the original Galaxy Note 10.1. I figured it was just because somehow Facebook was installing an older version. It was a Verizon SCH 925 or so it never got updated passed 4.1.2. I never had the problem on my 2014 edition which was running lollipop stock or Los 14. Have you updated it to Oreo yet? Have you tried stock recovery and formatted the cache partition? Not a factory reset just the cache partition. Tried clearing data and cache for the app itself? I wish I could help you more, but seeing as how it's not doing it on hers but is on yours it's most likely just a corrupt Facebook file that's forgotten how to handle the gyroscope.
Thanks for the reply. I put up with it thinking the update to Oreo would fix it. Just got the update a few days ago, no change in the problem. Have since done a complete uninstall of the FB app and reinstalled with no change.

Compare the miminum resolutions you each have under developer settings, it may at least stop the app from cutting off as apps hew to screen res

The only thing I found to help was to rotate my tablet to portrait and open marketplace. Then everything displays properly, but ony in portrait.
I had the grey on market place. I uninstallerd facebook and installed facebook lite app instead...Problem solved. Then install smart rotation app to get facebook to rotate.... Happy days...
It's 2023 and still no fix.
It keeps seeming to crash every time I try and go into the mode. I was curious if this were the case for others on the Pie beta? I'm on beta 2.5 with a US unlocked SD S9+
Last pie beta, exynos. I don't even have wide selfie anymore? I thought they remove it.

Try Settings in the camera app, Camera Modes, Edit mode list, turn on Wide Selfie. I guess they disabled it out of the box since it's broke.
Nothing. Can't find it anywhere.

To enable it you have to go to camera settings and then find camera modes and check it on.

Yeah. I wonder too. Probably because different users have different usage, CSC and apps installed. Maybe it's conflicting with something. I did a factory reset though. The strange part on me was that I didn't have some Samsung apps - Samsung Calendar, Calculator, Health and Samsung browser.

Doesnt work,wait for another update. Maybe beta 3 or 4 will fix that.
Hello guys!
Wide selfie mode is here and works for me in beta 3. Also, they removed or combined sense optimization with normal shooting. I kinda like it to be separated
But selfie on gcam is way better than stock one.
Where is wide selfie on stock?
I use Google Photos as my default photo app. Whenever I tap something -
1. image is loaded
2. half second
3. boosted/corrected image is loaded
It's rather annoying, especially when I'm on Display > Image Quality Settings > Standard mode.
I also have Auto Creator Mode off.
Does this happen to anyone else?
Yes is happening to me, just tried. Didn't notice before because I use album app. It's really weird and annoying
Right, thanks for letting me know. It's apparently a bug in Google Photos itself. Not a phone issue.
I sent a mail to the google support, but well, it's really weird since after reinstalling the app, it does well for some times and then the bug appears out of nowhere.
Can confirm it's definitely the app. Revert back to the previous version, and the issue no longer exists.
Thanks guys, it's definitely a pain but very obvious

I just stopped the auto update and after de-activating reactivating the photo app, I didn't updated it. Bim, fixed. I don't even know what are the changes with all those updates without a proper patch note.
Update google photos has fix the bug
Sori still have that symptom
I just installed an update from tmobile something about bug fixes and security . Sorry was to busy to write down the details but hope it fixes the phantom touches..
UPDATE 2: Oh no, it actually made the phantom touches worse, now instead of just the top section where you have the camera droop the thumb coordinates would trigger buttons on that spot, but now with the update, according to the touch sensors from developer options it shows the left and right touch coordinates will trigger even more around the screen. I think it just broke this phone.
Can anyone pls confirm this. The update has made the phantom touches worse and now my phone is unusable to play games because it always triggers buttons I don't touch when I make certain movements playing the games or apps

Thanks, I tried. Even had the phone replaced. T-Mobile thinks it might be the provisioning on my account, but I don't buy it since Google messages works. But I'm stumped, I can't even send a simple meme to someone on the stock app. I just says sending forever and never goes. I've tried wifi, 5g, 4g, resetting apn settings etc... Craziest dam thing

Please enable developer options and then enable the two options, show touches and show touch data. On my V60 when I hold the phone horizontally as if to game using my left and right thumbs the touch data will show lines intersecting for each thumb press and the coordinates where the lines touch will show a circle indicating that point will trigger any onscreen button that it will touch. Can you pls try this, so I can see if I have a defective V60. Thanks

I get errors with screenshots that say can't send, then I retry and am presented with 2 options, retry with original size or send as MMS. The photos always go thru when I choose MMS. However, I have an issue with stock as well. Can't attach a gif, only sends a link, and no notification in AA unless it's a short code message. I'm getting real tired of having to switch to 3rd party to do those 2 things and then back again to see typing and delivery indicators and faster photo sharing.

You can use Google messages and get the RCS experience without switching back and forth. I would just prefer to use the stock app if it would work

The stock app is definitely much nicer then it used to be. I very much prefer it over Android messages when/if it's working. Thankfully like I said it just happened to start working for me again. Maybe it's just TMobile and google ironing out all the kinks who knows.
