Hello! what i need to do if i have problem with camera? only change to another phone? maybe its software problem? can i change camera module from galaxy s6 to note 4 ?
Honestly, get a replacement. I went through 4 of them to finally get one that doesn't have the issue. As for the swapping the camera module with an S6 one, there's a guy doing that very thing right now. I don't remember what thread I saw it under but he has reported that auto focus does not work at all and has to be manually done. So you'll just be in the same boat plus you would have to mod the camera housing and solder a new ribbon connector as it's not long enough.

Didnt focusing, need to wait 30 seconds
Have you tried just hitting it? you can flick the hell out of the camera area to try and get the rollers unjammed if that's the issue. Here is what's inside there if you're curious whats causing the issues. That or your electromagnetic stage might not be working properly. Yeah I can't get S6 optics to focus yet, I'm going to manipulate an S6 ribbon cable and run it in a test setup just to see if my tinkering is what's messing up auto focus or if the module just will not work in the note 4 at all without software tweaks.

I have requirement where I need to have a phone without a Camera.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace, of which I plan to remove camera.
I have got the service manuals with me, and they suggest that Camera module is connected on a connector and can be removed.
But what I would will the phone function normally without camera module?
or will it malfunction or fail to boot??

Are you kidding me ?
You are likely to mess up if you try to do that. If you don't want camera, don't use it or remove the camera app. But don't try to remove anything on your own !

My workplace requires phone without camera, or camera removed.
I dont think removing Phone Camera is concern,
I am not sure if there are any checks in the Firmware which checks presence of Camera Module.
Also what will Firmware if it does not find camera module connected at all.

First of all Wrong Section mate. Secondly, why not cover the camera lens from inside your Galaxy Ace's backcover. Also delete the camera app.

Maybe it's an omnivision sensor... it's not guaranteed that this sensor is sony IMX258
The serial number is from a Sony sensor.
And? is anybody manage to do it?
I still have the IMX258 with me! Anyone wants to buy , PM me.
It did not work for me.
I replaced the sensor:
A0 0-FILM WH273 (Kernel Menu: Version Back Camera: ofilm_s5k3I8)
with this one
OHP0240 A0 0-FILM WG493 (Kernel Menu: Version Back Camera: Not support)
Perhapse also ROM related?
The Phone is on MIUI 9 Global 7.9.15 Beta

Sadly no difference after reflash. Took the fastboot file from here. http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Any other ideas ?
I wish someone would reply. A $10 sony sensor is a worthwhile upgrade to this phone.
Maybe double check that the connector is seated properly. Maybe you need to install the correct driver manually. Regardless, this needs to get more attention!
Did you try using a custom ROM such as LineageOS?
Yes, installed the following:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...other-development/rom-lineageos-14-0-t3566095
Also installed the firmware.
Does anyone know how the ROM detects the different hardware settings of the phone?
I think xiaomi uses at least three different camera sensor types.
Sounds like a great idea to replace the sensor. I hope some smart XDA members figure out how to load the camera drivers after swapping sensors.
I changed camera sensor.
I succeeded in converting from Samsung to Sony.
@junyajunya
can you post us where you bought the sensor and what is writen on it?
Anything you had to do, so that the sensor could be used?
in aliexpress I bought 32824022365
you can find 32824022365 in aliexpress.
I can not write URL.
because I am new.
and just change.that's all.

Hello, my Mi A2 seems to have a strange effect when focusing on the primary lens. I would just like to know if this is normal or not. It seems when on the low light lens the focus is even across the image but the primary lens it seems to wash from one side to the other.
Here is a video to illustrate.
Does anybody else's do this? Thanks!
I've been having the same issue for a while now! It's very annoying and I have no idea how to fix it! I've been using the low light lens and just taking pictures with that. I cannot tell if it is a hardware or software issue either. I'm going to install a custom rom soon, just haven't had time to do it, so hopefully that fixes the issue!
i think it's a software issue, because after capture everything is OK

I still have issues after capture. If I'm capturing text the top half is unreadable in portrait because it's so blurry, and when I tap to focus on the top it doesn't help.
Same issues here
I have exactly the same issue... It seems like the extremes of the picture are better and the sides really blurry. For text is really bad, and also for pictures when you want the focus not being in the center. As you mention, touching the focus does not help.
I have no solution for now, thinking on sending it back...
Doubed HW issue
I'm sorry to say I feel it like a HW issue as I am facing the same issue with GCam in my MI A2.
i too have the same problame even after capture...
It's fixed on my phone now, unfortunately I had to get a new camera module. The issue is likely caused by a misaligned lens element, so the only option is to swap the camera module or warranty the phone. Mine works great now. Shouldn't have had to fix it but I guess these things happen I guess.

It should be pretty straightforward, here's a teardown video: https://youtu.be/mo92gAwKv6s. That should walk you through getting the module out.

Can you send a link to the module you got? There's several between eBay and AliExpress I've seen, but am looking for a reliable one.
I have the same problem, I think it's began after update to pie 9, Is it possible? I try everything like clear cache, factory reset, hitting the camera. What is your solution ? Only change the camera with new ?

mia2 camera issue after pie update
my mia2 primary camera does not focus properly ,videos are totally blurred after the pie update,hope xiomi resolves the camera issue soon.I think this is software issue,if it would have been a HW issue,why would the camera hadbeen working perfectly on OREO?
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.
Hey
So I had problems with my camera not focusing when trying to take pictures from very close distances (small figures within 10-15 cms), it was all blurry - I tried different options and decided that software changes didn't help the problem so I ordered a new camera module and changed the part. I read that dropping the phone might lead to the lenses getting somehow disoriented and there's only solution to change the module..
Now after replacing the old module the camera app can use the front camera but when I swap to the primary back camera an error occurs and it claims it can't connect to the camera and the camera closes. Is this new module that should be for A2/X6 somehow still somehow incompatible or do you guys have any idea what might the problem?
I've tried to clear the data from the camera, I've reset the factory settings - no help.

Well IMHO, this kind of thing is better leave it to the authorized people @ expert.. I mean you sent it to service center or phone shop and let they do the replacement.. Me itself have experience of dropping my A2 from second floor and screen is badly shattered.. Although I know how to replace it but I won't do that.. I ordered the replacement parts and then sent it to the shop and let them do it.. I just pay for labor cost..
