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.
I just decommissioned mine. I got it for free from my parents who got it for free from my aunt who got it with their house when they first moved to the area about 15 years ago. Only reason I decommissioned it is it no longer plays any audio from HDMI sources, and we wanted something a bit more power efficient. I plan on opening it up and seeing if I can repair it, then it’ll probably be put into another room to continue being used as a TV
