🔍 What’s Happening?
As described by one user on Reddit:
“Camera gets big… then when I flip my device… it gets teleported.”
This glitch, now referred to by some as the “camera teleportation bug,” occurs when rotating the phone. The camera preview temporarily zooms or stretches, then instantly jumps to a corrected view—creating a disorienting visual flicker.
⚙️ What’s Causing It?
This behavior likely stems from UI rendering inconsistencies introduced during the update. When you rotate your device, the camera view needs to realign with the new orientation. If system cache, camera module settings, or recent plugin updates are misbehaving, the system can rapidly redraw the viewport, leading to this zoom-and-snap issue.
🛠 Step-by-Step Fixes to Try
If you're experiencing this issue, here’s how you can troubleshoot it:
1. Clear Camera App Cache
Corrupted temporary files may be interfering with camera orientation behavior.
Do not select “Clear data” unless necessary.
2. Reset Camera Settings
Reverting to default settings may remove bugs tied to recent configuration changes.
3. Uninstall Camera App Updates
If your device uses a modular camera plugin, it may have received an update from the Play Store.
Open [Google Play Store] ＞ Tap on your profile＞ [Manage Apps & Device]
Find “Camera” or “OPPO Camera Services”
Tap Uninstall Updates (if available)
4. Reboot After Updating
After installing any system update, it’s recommended to restart your phone to allow services and caches to rebuild cleanly.
5. Submit Feedback to OPPO
If the issue persists, help OPPO engineers identify and fix the bug.
Go to [Settings] ＞[About Device]＞Tap [Feedback]
Attach a short screen recording of the glitch
Mention your ColorOS version: CPH2701_15.0.0.1101
This sends your report directly to the development team.
