S20 Ultra White screen on camera

[ycrs76]

Recently the standard camera just gives me a white screen, if i go to the 0.5x zoom or above 10x it's fine but standard zoom doesn't, so if i use my camera on an app like IG or WhatsApp i just get a white screen.

I have done a factory reset and that didn't help, before that i tried to reset the camera settings and that made no difference.

Any thoughts please?

Hey @ycrs76! Sorry to hear about this issue with your camera. Does it also show as a white screen when your phone is in Safe Mode? To start your phone in Safe Mode, please press and hold the Power Button to bring up the power menu. Now, please press and hold on the 'Power Off' option. When the Safe Mode option appears, select it. Once you are finished, you can exit Safe Mode by turning your phone off and on as normal.

Unfortunately Safe mode has no affect.

but yes, all i can see is a white screen where the image should be.

Hey @ycrs76 

That's definitely quite odd. We'd like you to send an Error Report on our Samsung Members app, so our engineers can check whether it's a software or hardware issue. You can do this by heading into the Samsung Members app > Get help > Error reports.

Dear Moderator,

I am having exactly the same issue with my Samsung S20FE. Would you please be able to offer any assistance?

This exact thing happened to me, also starting a couple of days ago (approx friday AU). Main forward camera white in all apps, the other two cameras are fine except the 3x alternates between white and working depending on zoom. Selfies camera fine.

Hi, they had to replace a couple of my cameras, all is now fine.

That has been done well over a week ago and I've had no feedback yet. It has to be a software issue, I can get the camera to work so far in one other app, but that is also intermittent.. I can't be bothered sending my phone back for another repair to have it wiped again, its ridiculous. This needs a soft fix asap
