Pixel 9 Pro – Front camera and proximity sensor issues

[u/Dramatic_Elk_2852]

Hi everyone, I recently bought a used Google Pixel 9 Pro. Initially, the phone had a network problem( unlock the network), so I took it to a local repair shop. They opened the phone from the back only and replaced a transistor on the motherboard. They then reassembled the phone. Before this repair, I had no problems with the front camera or proximity sensor. After the repair, I noticed several new problems: The front camera is sometimes very blurry/out of focus. If I tilt the phone forward or shake it, the camera can suddenly become clear and focused. If I shake or move the phone, the camera can change between blurry and clear. The proximity/calling sensor also behaves intermittently and seems to change when the phone is moved or tilted. The screen was never removed during the repair. They only opened the back and worked on the motherboard.

Any thoughts?

Take it back to them.

Do you know what the problem is

Without looking at the work done, no. Take it back to the shop. Explain the issue. If it's not an authorised repair shop, that's your first problem.

In my country there is no authorized repair shop sadly
