Hey, I’ve got a weird issue with my S25 Ultra main (1x) camera.

When it tries to focus, I hear a rapid clicking/ticking sound coming from the camera module. It lasts a few seconds, and during that time the camera struggles to lock focus (kind of “hunts” back and forth). Sometimes it eventually focuses, sometimes it takes longer than it should.

I’m trying to figure out if this is a known issue (AF/OIS?) or a hardware defect.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did it get worse over time, and did you end up needing a camera module replacement?

Any input appreciated.
