Hello guys . Anyone has problems whit their camera ? My Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra doesn t take pictures like it used to do and everytime I open the camera ( doesn t matter in which app) it takes around 30 sec to get a clear imagine or I need to shake the phone for 5 sec . My mrs has the same problem ( S20 plus ) .

If everything in the Galaxy Store, Google Play Store and phone software-update is okay you can't do anything aside from a reset of the camera settings.

If that doesn't help send an error report via the Samsung Members app on the phone where you've the problem. Hopefully they'll resolve it in a next update

I never knew there were updates on galaxy store, I've always checked with Google play, just checked now on galaxy store I've got 27 updates waiting, thanks for that advice 👍

Many people doesn't seem to know this. So in total for updates for your phone you always need to check in 3 places. You're welcome

Hi . I just noticed that if I cover the sensor it takes the pictures perfectly. So it might be a sensor s fault or it can be from software?

In your initial post you've said "My mrs has the same problem ( S20 plus ) . ".

It means it's a software issue and not a specific product hardware problem. 
Report it via the Samsung Members app via Text Chat. See what they'll reply but probably they will say "Send an Error Report"'
