Hey everyone!
I am sorry if this has been answered earlier, but I couldn't find it.
I really miss autofocus functionality in video camera... Is there any fix/app to have continuous autofocus in video camera??
I am using stock rom 2.3.6 (not rooted) on Galaxy S Plus.....
Another question...
Will rooting void warranty here in india?
Thanks

I don't know if there is any option for that.
But you are able to zoom during recording with pinch to zoom.
I don't know if any adjustment is being made during zooming, this might be a workaround if it is.

Hey friend!
Autofocus isn't related to zoom.... Its something related to optics where lens adjusts itself to bring things into focus.....
Autofocus is available in still camera mode but missing in video camera....
Many other phones have this (even cheaper Wildfire S)....

Yes. I know what autofocus is
I thought there might be a possibility to trigger it although it is not active during a normal recording.

Guys... i9001 is using exactly the same camera sensor as i9000 - ce147 from NEC. The only difference is its driver in kernel and fw [libcamera.so] (but that shouldn't count in the case of continous AF), and finally camera firmware which is located in /system/firmware. You can try to replace files in that directory with those from the most recent i9000 fw and update them with command: *#*#34971539#*#* and choosing "Phone to CAM FW Write" option. After that continous AF function should work If not, replace Camera.apk from i9000 too.
Good luck!
EDIT:
Latest i9000 camera firmware files are now attached to this post. You may try to push them to your device and flash camera firmware with command: *#*#34971539#*#* and choosing "Phone to CAM FW Write" option.

If you have no root privileges, you will not have access to the system folder, so replacing existing files is impossible.
BTW. Why not root?

Hello,
I have a problem with a friends Galaxy Note N7000, he is running XXLB1, he's phone is branded TIM network.
After the update to LB1 trough Kies the stylus doesn't work anymore at all, with the button pushed or not, not even in the *#0*# => S-Pen Test.
Could you give him a helping hand. Thanks
Have a great day

don't have another note to try it on... will sugest going to an orange or vodafone for that
PS: he said after a software update it stopped working... could that be the issue... and be a coincidence the pen broke when he updated the soft.
PS2: dunno if the pen has anything inside that can break:-?
yeah..first of all be sure the s-pen still working good, maybe a coincidence but everything is possible
true ... i agree... will advise him to do that
Just try flashing a different stock rom/kernal. Its probably just a software issue (yes even though it's probably official due to updating from kies). They're all located in the development section

So my phone was last week in service because it didn't wake up after system update. After coming back from service i thought it was ok everything. today i have noticed that fron camera doesn't work. when i switch to front cam the screen is black and there is error. I have reinstaled system to stock xxld1 but it didnt helped.
my only help is service again? is there any android code for testing front camera?

As Noteboy states: There isnt going to be an official update from samsung.
The only way to get the KitKat experience is if you flash an AOSP-based ROM.
Unless somebody develops a kitkat based touchwiz rom; which might never happen.
Unfortunately never.

Wasn't kitkat for the old phones as well?
And today I held another phone in my hands for almost like 5 hours or something, after that my note felt like godlike phone.
Note is still good.
Maybe doesn't need kitkat at all but idea to make old phones work more efficient sucks then.

If note 1 is ever getting a update, it's after 2014 April. Custom ROMs are always better, without bloatware and Knox and stuff. TouchWiz free!

I'm downloading UK Vodafone firmware, will try and report
pls other than vodafone ftf with automode 20 mpx it is awsome, waiting??
Confirmed, UK Vodafone has 20 mpx in Superior mode :3 But i cannot get root by the way you mention. Its keep saying that :"the system cannot find the path specified" when i use the last command, echo one.
Could you please post a full size/original size picture taken in auto mode at 20 MP so we can see the setting that the phones makes automaticly (iso, ev, shutter speed, etc.)? Thanks.
Here you are, i think the quality is quite terrible
Got it. But no details. Try adding a link to the original/unmodified photo. Thanks.
Could you show me how can i attach file?
Full resolution pic.
Upload the photo to photobucket or imageshack and then copy the link from there to this thread.
In your last attachment it says 1667/1251 - that is not 20 MP. I think it is resized by the forum aplication.

Try several different cameras, such as focal, picarts, vsco cam and see if there's a difference.
If that doesn't work you can try reinstalling the firmware yourself.

Since it's not an app issue then it's either firmware or hardware. Since hardware is the least likely and also the worst possible outcome, I'd follow the above link and reinstall the stock firmware. Try doing a factory reset first if you'd find that easier.

If the front camera worked properly before the OTA, then it's a software issue, if not then it may be a hardware issue.

It's somewhat unlikely that it's a hardware issue but it's still possible, more so since you've flashed fresh stock firmware. Your warranty is already void at this point (there's ways to "unvoid" it) despite the fact that you've flashed stock firmware. Flashing sets of a flsh counter regardless. I can link you to information on how to remove this later if you like...
You should try flashing a non-stock ROM such as CM or SlimBean, or even the deodexed stock ROM and see if that makes a difference. You can flash back later and use triangle away and unroot the device to return its warranty.

I flashed stock firmware from sammobile and i wont root my device and try non stock rom. So i think my warranty isnt void now. In previous firmware have camera problem too. I think it s a software problem and waited next firmware. But not solved.
