Several cases concerning this have been resolved due to the root cause being that a cover used was covering the proximity sensor located in the front. Even a slight cover of that sensor may cause this - as it is intentional design that when the proximity is being covered the camera should stop its rotation.

Please first help check that  your cover/case used is not covering the sensor (it is located on the top right part of the phone, between the edge and the earpiece mesh).

Hum my case is a bit more complicated than the shell
First step i ordered a tpu transparent cover and a protection screen.
The protection screen received is a bit too big. Result screen cover and shell are fighting each others at the top right left (a bit at the bottom left ) i ordered a new screen cover but i don t want to remove the current one before to have the new one.
Result some dust are present now on the top. And it disturbs the sensor everytime. 
I suggest that the message should be improved. Because camera cannot flip informs but doesn t help
An other message or more details in it could be helpful. because i was really thinking that my camera was in bad condition because of that.
So this phone is great ?

Thank you for the detailed description! Yes, I think it can be a good idea to add a little more text into "camera cant flip" tooltip that pops up , at least something around 'check your proximity sensor is not blocked' or something. We'll pass back to our devs.

I also had this problem. Camera flip wasn't working 100% of the times. Interestingly, removing my tampered glass fixed it immediately.

So if you have a worn out tampered glass, that's the culprit.
