HOTSPOT & Wifi cannot ON , and Camera don't flip

[Sobun]

My Asus zenfone 8 flip suddenly have some malfunction a few days ago 01-May-2024. I am very sad. I have taken very good care of it. The problems are

• Wifi can't turn on, hence can't be used
•  Hotspot can't turn on, hence can't be used (a word "Error" written under the hotspot setting)
• Flip camera not working, hence front camera can't be used (showing a notice there something blocking the camera, while there nothing)

I have restart it multiple times and problem still persist. I have read other customers' problems on this site. We have the exact same problems. No solution. 🙂

Regarding the camera - I received a message about the inability to open the camera because something is blocking it. Switching the phone to developer mode helped fix this problem. (Settings - System - About Phone - Software information. Now tapping "Build number" utill see text "You are now a developer!"). After that i reboot my phone and it`s finaly works!

I have the same issue as Sobun, Nizam3 (from 6 months ago) ZENFONE 8 FLIP WIFI, HOTSPOT AND FLIP CAMERA SUDDE... - ASUS - ZenTalk - 401184

Also here Zenfone 8 wifi not connecting. I've tried everything. Should I get it repaired? : r/ASUS (reddit.com...
Also here Zenfone 8 Flip Wifi/Hotspot stopped working after random restart. : r/ASUS (reddit.com) 

Is this really a hardware issue (Wifi Chip and camera motor?) or can it be fixed with software? Enabling Developer Mode didn't work for me. I factory reset my phone, lost 3 years worth of data 😞

Why is this issue suddenly popping up with no apparent cause and the only way to fix it is to either RMA or have a service center fix it and most of the phones now is out of warranty?
