I think what he's saying is that this feature exists in ICS for the Galaxy Nexus but not for the Nexus S....

Is there any news on a port for touch to focus?

I am missing this feature too.
Any idea why no third-party camera app does this? Is it OS level stuff so it can not be enabled simply by app?

Front facing camera lag

Anyone notice the lag the nexus s camera has? My gf has the my touch 4g and she gets no lag when outside.

Anyone?

well it is VGA
What do you mean by lag?
I have both phones... just held both up using the FFC on each. The MT4G seems to be quicker to respond (by maybe 1/4 of a second) and has a bit better framerate, but has a ton more noise so I think it could just be a software tweak that would equalize the two.

Brightness adjustments via status bar?

On stock Jb and ics on the Gnex, I remember being able to adjust the brightness by sliding forward or backward on the status bar.. For the Nexus 4 did they remove this? Or do we have to enable it somehow ?
I also miss this..

This was never a feature in stock. Custom rooms like cm10 and aokp had this feature

Check out Camera FV-5 (the lite version works great for me: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...9tLmZsYXZpb25ldC5hbmRyb2lkLmNhbWVyYS5saXRlIl0.).

Video camera (auto)focus not available

Hey again XDA,
I know the nexus 4 is capable of focusing the camcorder for macro and other shots. However, for some reason, on cm 10.1.2 and .33 radio I don't get this option. Does anyone have any success on other radios/bootloaders or has dealt with this issue? Thanks very much.

You mean't Camera, Camcorder records video.
This could be either an issue with the camera application or it is missing from the application.

I meant video. S3 has a feature to actively focus on whatever is happening (automatic focus).

Well the Nexus 4 doesn't have such thing but you can attempt to get the S3 Camera but it may cause issues (gallery is joined to camera).

Oh OK. Does it have regular focus on the camcorder then? For me its just infinite focus, not controllable at all.

Unfortunately the user really has no control unless you record when the device is in the best focus.

This can't be right..

Use lgcamera app. The camcorder recording gives you touch to focus control. I read someone say it reduces the quality but i didnt notice any frame drop or reduction in quality.

Nexus 4 camera focus :(

Guys my phone can't focus things good when my phone is facing downwards.. I'm running android 4.4.3 and it didn't work on 2 too. When I focus it says it did focus with green circle but focus is terrible.. Is this problem in android or my phone

close up pics like that come out fuzzy like that on mine as well. Not the greatest camera on the N4 I'm finding. Is there a tweak that can be applied to fix this?

I think you are just too close to the main object or there's not enough light to focus, the camera focus has it's limitations, no particular error. Do you have that "error" in other situations? Mine's working perfect.
