Hello,
Got a Mi A2 since my old Phone kinda died and i needed a quick replacement. So far i'm happy but i noticed something:
When i carefully/easily tap next to the camera module, it sounds like the is a grain of sand inside the Phone. I haven't noticed it while shaking it. Probably a stupid question, i know, but i never had something like this on one of my previous Phones
It's normal, that's the autofocus

Hello
I have my optimus 2x for about 0ne week now.
When I tap the phone with my finger on the backside above the camera or when it slides on the table al little faster (not so fast that it dangerous for the phone) I hear a strange clicking noise from the inside of the phone. Is that normal? probably the gyro-sensor?
Have you the same noise when you do that?
Maybe something inside my phone is broken...
p.s: its definitely no part of the shell, i have made serveral tries while holding varying parts on the outside (Camera, Card-Slot, HDMI,...)
please, can somebody tell me if that noise is normal?
The Answer ist just one tap with your finger away
Very slight click when I tap mine. Wouldn't even notice it if you had not mention it. Can't get it to click any other way. Probably the camera assembly.
Someone posted on here suffering from the same problem. Apparently it's something slightly loose in the camera assembly which is surprisingly common on phones (the Nexus One had a big probably with it apparently).
yes its normal even after you taking a photo with macro or some AF and then go to gallery you can ear the noise because the camera do it. its loose by default.
aahh, ok thank you for your replies, no real problem then...must have missed it the first few days.
good built quality ;-)
Is it the camera module or some kind of motherboard?
I'm confused it works well from the freezer and I want to replace the faulty part but don't know what the faulty part is.
Opened it up earlier today only damaged the case slightly and it took 10 mins.

The problem is with the Camera Module. HTC confirmed this as a manufacturing defect, they would have fixed it for free.
Anyway to the best of my knowledge the problem was inadequate heat shielding for the Camera Module. Over time heat from the phones internal components (Processor, Battery etc) damages the lens inside the Camera Module producing the purple hue you see in your images. The warmer the device the worse it looks hence the reason it works ok after being in the freezer.
I sent my to HTC for repair I don't know exactly what they did but it came back good as new and so far the problem has not returned. Maybe they replaced it with an upgraded camera module or the same module but improved the heat shielding. Or maybe they just put the same module back in and the problem will return although I've never heard of it coming back after a HTC repair, only time will tell I suppose.
if you removed the back you can lift the camera and insert a thermal insulator , without having
to take apart everything ; you can put a thin plastic .
i could put a small circular magnet behind the camera myself when i was trying to fix the focus problem ,
there is some room.
Also put your phone in power saver it could help for the high temps.
Thanks for the replys, I did try lifting the camera even inserted something to the back of it and left it hanging out it still had the problem so I guess it just needs replacing May aswell replace the battery while I'm at it!
Thanks again
Quick update, I jjust replaced the camera module and it still has the pink tint now I'm lost anyone have any idea what's going on?
Does anyone know what is going on? perfect camera during the day but still pink/purple at night or dark I thought this would have been fixed after changing the module but obviously not is there anything else i can try?
And for those who have taken apart the camera module whats with the little sensor type thing on the camera modules ribbon? is that where the problem lies? a little square box lies beneath the copper heatshield it looks just like a megapixel sensor but is completely covered up.
I've had my N6 since the 8th with no issues at all and suddenly it seems the OIS is acting up when I open the camera. Whatever mode I'm in it jumps all over the place and when in video mode this is then recorded in the same way. Its had no known drops and is in a rugged case anyway.
Has anyone else had this issue and is there a fix?
I have this issue while in landscape mode.. Seems like an RMA is the only solution.
I currently have this issue also. Jumps side to side in landscape mode then up and down in portrait mode. Your saying that it's hardware related? I really dont want to deal with the RMA process. I dont have the funds to do so either.
I've used the camera a lot, why has it suddenly started happening? Is there not a way to turn the OIS off? I've never had it before so I wouldn't miss it. I've looked in dev options and I've not rooted since JB so would rather avoid doing so.
Edit: Have any of you used Camera FV-5? I'm wondering if its since I used it as I didn't revert settings before uninstalling.
My camera is having the same issue. It jumps all over the place you can even hear it click. I decided to RMA. Should be getting another one soon.

I use Camera FV-5 and all is fine with OIS on my side (at least for now) therefore I don't think it has anything to do with the issue you reported.

Thanks, I'm happy its not the app as I liked some of the features. Guess its back to Tesco UK then. They should be ok for returns
Did you try with factory reset? I saw a case in which that solved it.

Yeah, I tried it twice just to be sure. I was considering flashing a stock image at one point. I've taken it back for a replacement which should be ready to pick up on Monday. Just sat with my N5 for now and it feels tiny. How do my thumbs even fit on the screen? I was dreading going for such a big screen and now it's like I'm back on my old HTC Desire I had years ago. At least it's proved to me that when it comes to phones, bigger is better

I've never used Camera FV-5 and my phone has been in case (Spigen Neo Hybrid) since I took her out of the package.
Started out couldn't open the camera until after i rebooted consistently after taking pictures and stuffing it in my pocket; then focused like every 6 seconds this was annoying in video mode, then jumped side to side when in reg camera mode and video but not HDR+; but now its so bad that I can't even take pictures and forget zooming in looks like I'm in a fishbowl. Started RMA process today.

FDR (Factory Data Reset) did nothing for me. When I got home today I flashed stock 5.0.1 still have the same issue.
Here is a video I tried at the Texans game Sunday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buzw9WZuHZ0

Just looked directly at the camera and can see the lens moving around inside. Its definitely broken.
I have the same issue. Received on 12-14. Issue began and RMA created 12-22. Moto also has No stock to fulfill rma's with. Mine issue is in panorama mode only.
Video of camera jumping around. http://youtu.be/OkVoTMe1byo
Is there a way to try and FORCE this to happen? I get TINY a mounts of it but I'm not sure if its just the camera refocusing or if its actually an issue.
I have a similar problem that I believe is related to the OIS but instead of jumping it is almost vibrating. It focuses for a second then a blurry vibration look. I was gonna start the RMA process this afternoon.
Same problem didnt happen at first got worse over time, happens frequently now
I have the same problem. It did not happen for the first 5 or so days, then it started every once in a while, now it happens every time i record video.
Camera would refocus itself 2-3 times every few seconds -- seemed pretty rapidly but everyone seems to report this so I just assumed it was normal, but this constant refocusing during video could be an early warning sign that you will develope the OIS jumping problem.
Here is a video of the issue happening on my device:

Im on the phone right now with GPS store and this issue, my N6 camera has major shifting. The guy on the phone is checking if its a "known" problem, its sounds like he doesn't believe me, lol.
Having the same problem. If phone is in portrait, the image becomes incredibly fuzzy like an old television. In landscape, it's normal.
Hello everyone, I'd like to say thanks for checking out my thread :good:
About a week ago, I dropped my phone into a ceramic floor with the back facing down. The drop sounded loud however the phone looks intact.
A few checks later, I can confirm the phone is OK, except for both cameras and the flash.
The back camera doesn't work (the Camera app just crashes, Diagnostic shows Camera Not Connected), the front camera doesn't display anything (Diagnostic shows completely black picture) and the flash does not turn on.
I'm currently sourcing parts for testing, but I'm wondering if it's possible that the software may be the cause as well?
Although the phone didn't restart (it still worked fine, minutes before it dropped) I wanted to make sure.
Also, as a double check, I tried OpenCamera and it shows black. There's no "switch camera" option so I think it's showing the front camera.
Once again, thank you for checking my thread
Your motherboard is toast. I have a Z2 with water damage. At first it seemed like the camera module got damaged, but on closer inspection, it has the same problem as your Z3+, all things camera related stopped working. There's no easy fix, you either re-ball whatever chips got loose or replace the motherboard.
Maybe you need to replace only the camera, because I had approximately same problem
I had the same problem, it was enough to replace the camera module for me.
hi I know this is old thread but I just have the same problem,have you fix this?
replace the back camera will solve this problem or must replace both front and back camera?
Hello,
Today I noticed this weird problem with my main camera where a sort of black hue started appearing on every picture I was taking, I made sure that the lens is wiped clean and I even rebooted the phone and the issue is still there. This hue doesn't appear when I switch to the ultra wide camera which is making me think its a hardware issue though I certainly hope it is not. I attached a sample picture, it is not something huge but it is noticeable and it is pissing me off. Has anybody encountered a similar issue before? I only recently got it repaired after the Wi-Fi chip was fried and I'd be seriously bummed if this turned out to be another hardware issue .
Prolly the one who fixed your wifi chip got the inside lense dirty on assembly. It looks like a smudge.
