Hi !
I have a Defy for more than a year now and I finally decided to flash it. So now, i'm using it with miui rom (2.3.7a).
But since i've flashed it, i have some problems with the camera. I can't take picture in "macro", when i'm too close from the things i want to take in picture, the image is fuzzy. The camera don't focus anymore, it's very annoying because i take a lot of picture wit my phone..
Is someone here who has already had this problem? can i fix it and how?
Thanks for your help and excuse me for my bad english, i'm french ^^
I have the same problem with this update, but my camera is locked in macro mode.
I have tried android 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, CM7, and now i'm using MIUI but the camera is almost useles...
Hi !
I see that i'm not alone with my camera problem. ^^
I tried to change my rom this week end, I installed cm7 but sadly, the problem is still here, and nobody seems to know how to solve it. Could we install an other "camera application" or something like that, could it solve the problem or do you tqink it will be the same?
thank you!

Hey guys, none of my cameras are working. When i hit the camera button the camera app turns on but the screen is white. I've tried searching but everything comes up related to a discolored camera. Ive tried flashing many roms, fixing permissions, tapping on the camera. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Do you have an Evo 4g? You said you "hit the camera button" but the Evo doesn't have a hardware camera button.
If it's happening across multiple roms, including stock, it's probably a hardware problem.

You haven't flashed a Froyo kernel on a Gingerbread ROM, have you? The issue you describe is a well-documented side-effect of doing just that. If not, I would flash back to stock and see if it works. If it does, then you know it's a software issue. If it doesn't, then I would agree with plainjane.
Did you ever get a working answer to this? I'm having the same problem. My camera won't open, it force closes before going anywhere beyond a black screen. The night before, it would at least open. The front facing camera worked but the rear facing camera seemed stuck on solarize (which I had no options to change). Seems like a software problem so I updated to the latest deck rom, updated hboot, pri, nv, wimax - now fully updated and still no fix. Tried installing miui apk and still same.
If I don't get this camera fixed, I'll have to unroot. Not looking forward to doing that but if it's between having root or camera, I'm going to pick the camera.
Hope someone can help before I have to go to such drastic measures.

Rooting won't break your camera.
I would flash back to a rooted stock ROM, and confirm whether camera works or not on it. If it does, then you know the issue is in fact software related (which it doesn't sound like it is). If it doesn't, then you have a hardware failure.
A corrupt sd cars gave me the same problem. Try re-formatting it.

I took it to Best Buy and they told me it's a sensor issue. My phone gets replaced so it's all good.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I tried them all before deciding it must be a hardware issue and going to BB.
I know this is a few months late, but I recently had a similar problem. I would click the camera icon and the screen would just go black and then f/c on me. I was running ICS roms, so I flashed to Decks GB rom, Mik 3.1 rom and had the same problem. So I figured it was a hardware problem.
I decided to open up my evo and take a look inside and found the camera housing was not seated completely. Pushed it back down and it has been working for days now
I guess it probably jarred loose when I dropped it or bumped it or something.
Thought I would share, because it was very frustrating for me, so I figured it might be bothering someone else.
okay i just got my new s4 yesterday, took a few photos with it and it all worked amazing.. and then i upgraded its android from 4.2 to 4.3 (it asked me if i want to upgrade). but i didn't try the camera again until later in the evening.. i opened the stock camera app- it was blurry. and i mean blurry as hell.. it couldn't focus anything, like the focus didn't worked at all.. i could only see clear image if i bring the phone very very close to the thing i want to see.. and when i shaked my phone a bit, i could hear the lens inside jumping.. restarting the phone didn't helped.. and after about half an hour i tried the cam again, it magicaly fixed itself.. so far it focuses very good, but im afraid that this problem could happen again. so, i guess it's either a hardware problem, or the newer android version, i'm not sure.. anyone had the similiar problem?
I'm currently on stock zvc rooted with twrp from autorec. I have been using Jishnu's 4k cam mod for a while now and its worked perfectly fine but all of a sudden my camera lost the ability to focus. It did this a couple days ago and I tried restoring camera from Jishnu's camupdate apk and then reinstalling and also installed xdabbeb's 4k cam and it wasn't working but after 15 mins or so I went back to the camera and it was working again. This time though I tried to do what I did before but it doesnt have any effect on it. I no longer have the stock camera files does anyone have them so I can try that out? A flashable zip would be even better if possible. Other then that does anyone have any idea what I could do besides tot'ing back which I'd rather avoid if possible?
Did you try another camera app to make sure it's not a hardware issue?
If I helped you, please thank me
got a stock non rooted d803 and camera just wont focus as well
takes nice close up pics but anything further than 2 inches and its out (even manual focusing doesnt work)
tried other camera apps and no joy, went as far as factory reset and nothing
LG and phone company tech advised bringing it in for replacement

Sorry for the late reply didn't notice I got two replies but I had tried google camera and another random camera before
and they both wouldn't focus at all. However my camera is working now I went and tot'd to stock 4.4.2 but the camera
wasn't working immediately after doing that it still wasn't working so I was afraid maybe the hardware was broken. But
after installing the 4k camera mod and doing some messing around with the camera and then leaving the phone alone
for a while with the camera app running in the background it works again. Its very weird I don't really understand it what
threw me off as well was after running titanium backup to restore apps/data the camera was still working so I started
setting stuff up. I noticed the xposed installer was not up to date so I went and updated it and then rebooted the phone.
After that I checked the camera and it wasn't focusing again at all. I figured xposed might be the culprit so I went and
uninstalled it then rebooted but it didn't have any effect the cam still wouldn't focus. So I reinstalled and enabled it and
did the installing 4k mod messing with camera and leaving it alone routine and after a while the camera is working
again. Very suspicious I'm at a loss but I went and did a nandroid backup while the camera was working so if anything
I can restore that and hopefully fix it.

Sorry for the late reply but my camera still isn't working properly. Whenever I open a camera app its all blurry and it won't
focus what I have to do everytime I need to take a picture of something is shake the phone around in different angles and
sometimes hit it near the camera region lol. I find that after giving it a good shake/hit it'll start focusing again. I don't know if
that means theres a problem with the OIS interfering in some way since the lens can move around and stuff so maybe shaking
it makes it focus correctly but its annoying.
I would go bring the phone in for repair/replacement if you're covered. I would do it myself but I plan on getting the G3 soon
anyway so don't really need to fix this one. Hope it works out for you though.
Hello Guys,
Few days ago I installed Android L in my Nexus4 and since then the back camera of my phone is not being detected. I'm using the Google Camera. I downloaded the factory image again for the second time and the problem still persists. So, I tried using a android L dev preview ROMs we have in this forum, where the camera should definitely work. I still have the problem. What should I do to get the main/ back camera to work?
TLDR:
Ever since android L google factory image installation my phone's back camera is being undetected. What should do to get it work?
Sincerely,
Thank you.
I have exactly the same problem.
After the upgrade, 5.0 camera worked fine, but yesterday rear camera just disappeared, and the front running.
Installation 4.4.4 does not help.
Sorry for my English, I use Google Translate
It took 1.5 weeks and the camera icon reappeared and the camera earned as if nothing had happened.
Got the camera issue fixed.
Bought a camera module from ebay for $8 replaced the existing one with the new one. Works like a charm.
Thanks for the replies guys
First i am sorry for my english
My problem.
When i use the flash to take a picture in low light or darkness my pictures come out black or reaaaaly dark.
The flash either goes off to fast or is to short. It only seems like a micro second.
When i focus the camera it does emit the light to focus.
The solution i found.
Well to be honest i have no idea how to use it.
It is some sort of code and i am a complete idiot at that
I am running
(Stock) Android 6.0.1
Kernel 3.10.61-8140803
Build number MMB29K.G903FXXU1BPE2
Camera firmware is stock
CAM FW version K16LLIA00SM
Load FW version K16LLJA01SC
PHONE FW version K16LLJA01SC
I am getting very annoyed by this problem and the fact that i spend 3 hours searching for a solution i cant apply had me mad as hell.
Edit: forgot to metion i tried all options i could think of with the camera setting. Even downloaded a 3rd party program called camera vf5
I am hoping you are able to help me
Regards
