Just wondering if anyone had stability issues with the lens/display from camera after an upgrade? there seemed to be a Camera firmware upgrade as well at the same time? since then the lens seems to be hunting to focus .. you can hear the motor/lens trying to do some work - going into manual mode and switching off stability control makes things better but auto-mode certainly has an issue
I have also noticed that the auto focus is not working as well as before the update to 4.1.2. I had quite a few situations in which it refuses to focus in good light conditions. And I could not find a good workaround for this beside a reboot.

is there any way of easily regressing back to 4.1.1.... Does samsung know there is a bug/fault - couldnt find a way of reporting it to them unless its via their warantee programme?

Hi i just noticed my camera makes noises when i have it in standby. it's like the camera is trying to auto focus even though i havent started the camera app. does anyone know why this is happening?
i heard a funny clunk noise when turning on the camera app. something like that?
I'm having the exact same problem. My camera also doesn't focus when I take pics.
Have you found any solutions/causes yet?
My battery is also draining very quickly ... guessing the constant camera lens motor running could be the cause.
Do you remember if you did something specific that brought it on?
This problem just started happening to my Nexus One. Only thing I did was switch battery this morning. Gonna try to take battery out and in again.
Once this problem started, I couldn't focus with my camera anymore. I have Camera 360 Pro and the focus button does nothing.
Are you guys all running a custom ROM, like cyan for example? Or is this stock ROM?

Guys I have a problems my camera sometime doesn't focus someone told me it might need a lens calibration does anybody knows how to do this ??? Please help me out
Have you managed to find a solution for the focus problem?
I seem to have the same problem and the camera refuses to focus for a second picture until I increase of decrees the ZOOM factor for a bit. I think that this is a software problem though as I do not recall having this problem on Android 4.1.1

I had that problem as well. I think it's a setting thing. When you leave it on auto pic, the camera is trying to use the "best mode" to shoot that particular picture. When I use Expert settings and set the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO myself, not only do I get much better shots, but I no longer have that focusing problem anymore. My wife is a photog and she taught me about this stuff. =)
Unfortunately it does the same on Expert mode...
Hi,
I have a OnePlus 3T which has a bit of a focus problem, sometimes the focus just works as it should, but mostly it focusses and then glitches around that focus point. But not as normal with a smooth movement, instead it just jumps to a different focus point. Anybody had this problem yet.
Sometimes it seems as if it is just stuck at one focus point.
Any tips?
I might reset it today to exclude a software problem, the latest update said camera improvement, but I honestly don't know if the problem was also present before that update.
Is there a way to go back to the old software version I haven't installed TWRP yet
I am not much interested in camera when i bought Mi A2, it works fine. but recently when i was taking picture, it was half side blur and i was not able to make focus on upper side of camera. i tried all modes but no use. I have Note 6 Pro and it's camera functions and focus properly.
in mi A2 I observed when in MANUAL mode i select Lens as LOW LIGHT, it works (but in manual mode only).
do any one has some solution or give reason to behave camera like this.
Same here
It was a February patch bug and it seems to persist in March patch... Xiaomi.

This is a hardware problem, I also had this, give the phone a guarantee.
P.S. sorry for english(
How so we both have exactly the same problem and mine started with pie?
Looks like this is a hardware issue, I'm having the same problem after 4 months of use.
Same here, I also took it to guarantee and they told me it was a software problem, but when they gave it back to me nothing had changed. Camera still not working

I had ordered it from this website but I had paid the cheapest shipping, I'm from Mexico so it will take a while to arrive to my country.. maybe next month..
I had the same problem and replaced the camera module with a new one, and the problem was fixed... temporarily because 3 months after it started happening again with the new camera, so either I am super unlucky, or it must be some other defect in the phone that tends to breaks the primaey cameras...
At this point I don't think I am going to replace it again. Do you know of any way of recording videos with the low light camera?
I have the same issue. In fact this issue persists in the video mode as well. Its okay for videos of objects nearby but move even a few metres away and it becomes very difficult to focus. I was at this concert and wanted to record the performance but only got a very blurry video with muffled sound. For photos this issue is especially an inconvenience when taking photographs of documents etc where you could very well do without the unnecessary bokeh effect. In MANUAL mode this does reduce a bit, but not to any extent that helps.
I was just told by a friend that installing the Google camera mod might help, but I'm yet to try it out.
I have same problem with upper side blur. Seems that switching to "manual" mode and change "lens" from "regular" to "low light", as said by the original user. It works fine with me. Thanks for the tips ! ........ so it is not the hardware problem, it is a software problem. Changing camera may not work ! Don't know if they are going to release new firmware to solve it or not ?? Any idea how to upgrade the firmware ?

If it is a hardware problem I do not see why it would prevent using the secondary camera, it can be a problem with the lenses (Have you thrown or hit your phone?) and not with the module. There are those who have returned to Oreo and the problem persists.
Hi Team
Anyone noticed that the main camera has a lot focus issues on faces?
Background is on focus while the faces aren't.
Any way to upgrade Camera firmware only?
I notice focus issues on the main came that star a few days ago. To fix them, I need to shake or give some kicks to the phone in other to solve the issue...
This may be caused by some drop, however, I always use the TPU case.
Same here my phone is well protected..

How i can test for help you ? I'm on MiuiMix 26.6.23 (MIUI 12.6)
This seams a hardware problem, I have concerns if they can compensate it by software.
The issue semana to me that the focus mechanism is get stuck, maybe by the lac of power, and only some kicks help do put the lens in the right position...
Can anyone confirm about the fix for 12.5.4.
Don't think it's a hardware issue as I don't get the problem with other camera apps.. though not sure they use all the lenses

Hello . I started having main camera focusing issue.
When it zoom close subjects its fine and than when it zooms distant subject it becomes blurry .
So when I shake the phone or make a tap it removes blur and catch the picture good.
Should I replace camera lens , sensor .. or it might be hardware ?
I just got the phone. Focus on people is always bad. No recognition. I have to switch to Portrait mode manually to get good shots of people.
Main camera also has focussing problems with flowers.
I expected more than this...
My Huawei used to always regognize people.

I'm honestly in the same boat. After buying a flagship xiaomi phone and having to slap or shake the camera for it to work properly is very disappointing definetly my last xiaomi phone.
