guys i am on latest oos 4.5.0 right now
since i updated to 4.1.7 i started to have auto.focus issues with the camera
whenever i open the camera app it is always out of focus and when i tap to focus it still does not get focused and produces a slight vibration
after 10 seconds the focus finally begins to work
is this normal ?
edit: i also tried opening the camera app with the phone kept near my ear with the camera facing the ear so that it has difficulty focusing it
i could hear the buzzing sound for 3 to 4 seconds this time
can someone plz confirm if this happens with their device as well
That's the auto focus motor that's probably broken/stuck, it's just moving in its position causing the sound you hear.
my phone is still under warranty
i guess i will have to go for a camera unit replacement then
No dude this **** happened to me too right after I downloaded the new update. I thought it was sjust me going crazy but it's so intense that my phone refuses to focus.
yup the phone really does not focus however i got my camera replaced from the service centre and now it's working great
Should I just try replacing the camera myself or do I have to send it in? Kinda just sucks really

Replacement procedure did not take more than an hour so I would recommend you to go to the service centre and get it replaced from OnePlus itself

Hi Guys/Girls,
Some times when I open the Camera app I hear the back camera click. It does not always happen but it's something I've never had with a phone or any camera for that matter. Its the same noise as if you had tapped the back of the phone and the camera rattles.
Anyone know what that could be?
I have both of those sounds (clicking when opening the camera app, and a slight rattle if I tap the back of the phone around the camera lens,) and always wondered about them too.

Mine only clicks about 10% of the time. Maybe the lens is out of alignment and the focus motor is snapping it back.
so...should i be worried?
So should i be worried about these clicks? or should i rma it?

No worry htc camera move. So the lense is adjusting.
Tap the screen while in camera mode and see if that is the same sound.
Dear fellow forum users/Z1 owners,
I'm a new user of a Sony Xperia Z1. I've been using my phone for about a week now to take photos, and I've noticed that there is a problem with the camera display. When I move my phone to take a photo of another subject, the display actually lags behind and sometimes freezes for a second before finally catching up with my movements. Do any of you face similar issues?
Another question I'd like to ask, would be the vibration/movement of the lens as it refocuses, especially on macro shots. It makes this small "tick" sound and vibrates while attempting to focus, something which I've not experienced on other cameras. Is this natural or is it a hardware issue that I should get Sony to check?
Thanks for taking your time to read this post, and I look forward to hearing your responses.
Cheers,
Sonynoob
I must say - never heard for that problems.
I don't have that issues, my camera is working great, no vibrations, no lag - full HD recording or shooting picts - all works great.
Sent from my Z1
Just tested the camera in a quiet environment and I must say, it seems to produce the 'tick' sound before every shot...it only gets worse in macro situations.
Same goes for me. I think it is a normal thing while camera struggles to focus.

Had this lag too the other night trying to shoot outdoor. I don't know if it was because too much stuff running in background or if it's the camera, only happened once.
I get a clicking noise when using the zoom function on the camera, when I play back a video you can hear the click every time you zoom in or out, bloody annoying and really loud. I had a xperia mini pro that did the same and never even thought of trying the video mode on the Z3 till recently, ( had the phone 4 weeks). I also get very low sound when receiving a phone call, bit disappointing. has anyone else noticed these issues?

About the clicking noise, I think you're just hearing the focusing mechanism.

Yes I think you're right it could be the focusing mechanism, re when I had the xperia mini I'm fairly sure they released a patch or update which fixed it to some extent. Thanks for the advice :good:
I am bringing to notice about a wierd issue with the pop up camera on k20 pro.
Whenever i use the selfie camera ,it's quit and has a gearing sound which can't be heard if you don't listen to it closely and it's normal. But i was testing the fall detection feature of the pop up camera and there i noticed something wierd. Whenever i drop my phone and phone detects fall it retracts the camera as it is supposed to but after retracting it makes a sound which is something like gears jamming with each other. It is audible and doesn't sound normal.
Try it out guys and let me know if this happens with you too.
Perhaps it would be appropriate to indicate also which Rom you are using, on the PE there is a little issue with the frontal camera in switching between video / photo mode, that produce a noise same as yours, in MIUI 10 it works regularly.
Having same issue here
Can anyone is hearing a weird sound in the pop up camera?Just turn off the sound effects and then try to listen to it.Can you hear the same like mine ?
My popup camera produces the same noise.
Any solution? Thanks!

Please report back after disabling pop up camera sounds & upload a short video if possible.
Same problem... Any solution?
So by complete accident I noticed that whenever I shake my 11 Ultra, a strong rattling sound comes from the top portion of the phone, like there's something loose inside. After a bit of testing I assumed it's the OIS from the wide angle, since whenever that camera is used, and the OIS kicks in, the sound when shaken becomes very small. But anyways, is this normal?
This may sound like a strange request, but please, could you people shake your device and give a feedback here to know if it's just my unit?
It’s normal.
Ah ah by accident too, i noticed the same few days ago.
And when i change camera lens in pro mode, i have a little sound similary as haptic.
That's reassuring, i am not the only one. But why we have this thing ?
It's the camera and OIS. It's normal.

It’s the stabilization module inside the camera shaking. It’s a moving part so it’s basically floating when you’re not using it. When you shake the phone you make it move inside the camera, thus the rattling noise.
And obviously, it’s for stabilizing the camera when you’re moving so you don’t get the blur effect.
Thank you guys for your feedback, good to know that it's normal. Have a nice day everyone!
