Selective focus problems - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

So I have only successfully taken one picture with selective focus. I have tried so many different distances from my target and it simply won't work and always says it can't detect the target. Has anyone else had problems? Or does anyone have any ideas for me?

In the other camera thread, people mentioned forgetting to take the acrylic off the lens. You did that?

They did it for me at AT&T when I got the phone. They took all the plastic off for me.

Check the camera lens for sure. Otherwise be sure your two subjects are of a good difference in visual contrast. Since its a software blend, the camera needs two images of stark contrast to work well.
Love, from GS5 locked bootloader hell.

Yes i also notised that.

Camera in app

Trying to use Wells Fargo's mobile app to deposit a check, and every time I take a picture of the check, it crops off both sides and the amount and payer's address get cut off. Any ideas? I've tried all the crop settings in the stock camera app to no avail. I'm guessing maybe because this camera takes widescreen shots, it's having some affect on this.
And how exactly do you use Zoe?
I am having the same problem on the HTC One with Wells Fargo mobile check deposit as well. Any solution?

This is something Wells Fargo would have to fix. Their app is assuming a non-widescreen ratio, when they shouldn't be. Just take the photo further out.
I agree It took me multiple attempts..I finally got it to accept it by taking a picture from two to three feet above the check

I got it to work doing this as well. I never had this issue with my evolte. It really zooms it in after you take the pic.

Camera Problem

I have a problem with my XSP's camera having blurry,Foggy pictures. At first I thought the problem was just the app itself so I tried other camera apps like camera 360 but it still shows the same problem. I think it may be hardware related but I need your advice if I can still sort this on my own because I hate slow customer repair service.
this is what my pictures looks like now.

i tried wiping off the back camera but not to the extent that includes the removing of screws. Is that what you mean?

Just wiping the lens with some cloth or micro-thingy, nothing too complicated

Thanks for the suggestion but as I've said before, wiping doesn't work. But I noticed that the back camera has many scratches. Maybe that's the cause.

It's a flaw of S5. I read the post on androidcentral forum about 5 pages, and many people have the problem even self-crack camera lens.

(Resolved)Anyone know why camera is blurry all of a sudden?

Im running Bad Boyz v1.2 and flashed the .13 firmware?
It didn't start being blurry until I flashed the firmware but I'm not sure how long after. I have been on Bad Boyz since it was available and never had this issue.

Mine did the same thing but it is stock, not even rooted. I have not been able to find a fix yet.
You gotta keep the lens clean

I think this might be a problem, I remember reading on here that someone else's camera did the same thing but I can't find the post.
I guess I'll just go back to stock and take it to Sprint

It seems like this is a common issue with no other fix that I can find besides taking it to Sprint. I will post if I find any additional solutions.
Found a fix by searching Google and it really
worked, a drop of water and scrape the lens with the corner of a credit card.

That's great mine has been a little blurry gonna try it when I get home thanks
Mine got foggy too. Keep mine in a case and in my front pocket without anything else. Still got all scratched up. Read HTC has put a coating on the lenses for what ever reason.
I placed a small dab of toothpaste with an even smaller dab of water and rubbed on the lens very lightly. First time almost got it 100%, second time did it. Pulled the coating off nicely. Pictures are really clear again.
I've also read rubbing alcohol and Q-tips will do the trick.
Sweet I'm not crazy then it does have a coating on it

Z3's camera is blurry or is it just this phone?

Well i just got my sony xperia z3 dual sim and when i checked the camera its too blurred and stuff, but when i take close pictures its sharp and clear the problem is its too blurry if you take somehow far. Is there wrong?
I think a problem is in focus. Camera doesn't have time to focus or something's wrong with a camera. When in camera app, try to tap on a screen anywhere (it's going to do manual focus).
Nothing happens if i tap, a little gray square appears but doesnt focus the object

Is camera lens cover cleaned? I think that I had a similar issue with other phone and finally was dirt on the lens that wasn't appreciate taking pictures.

I had the same problem. I send it to Sony for repair and get a new phone instead after 2 weeks, cause they couldn't repair it.
Upload pictures so we can see the problem
I dont know how to upload pictures on the xda forums app though.

If you haven't unlocked your bootloader and your camera quality is still blurry send it back to Sony, they'll either clean the lens ( or replace it if you still have warranty )

If cleaning the lens doesn't solve it and you still have warranty they would probably replace the lens free of charge but that's a worst-case scenario
