I've been using the GGL ROM - Defy Green Lens for a little while now, gps is not as stable it was back in cm7 / miui. usually i get gps reception in my office , but now it shows no gps .. is there any patch for better gps reception. is this a bug or is it just for me ???
Hi
I too had recently updated to GGL ROM. Can you please tell how the camera is working... like pictures and clarity... mine seems to be very dark,
GPS is fine with me.....
Thanks
Camera picture are dark for me also.. i think the image quality has also gone down. GPS works fine for me.. but the reception is low than earlier.. but overall this rom is simply the best... very good battery backup. small bugs are present sometimes the phone becomes non responsive.. maybe bcoz of the lack of taskmanager..
I tried to zoom in to take a few pictures but the camera becomes very blurry.... any idea why this is so?? Maybe i shud return to froyo....

Hi!
i've played so far with three custom roms: PRIMEE_p9_davids_mod, Virtuous_Thrive_v.1.0.1 and Lightspeed_1.0.1. each has its merits, but my biggest problem (so far) is that the camera app does not work properly with any of the non-acer based roms: i get a black screen with the back facing camera. the front camera works (so i can only take pictures of myself!). Lightspeed (based on stock acer) doesn't have this problem.
anybody else seen this? any suggestions?
thanks a lot
Same on HoneyVillian
i just put this ROM on my acer and now cannot take videos with the back camera. Front works fine like you said. Also it keeps saving video files to my SD when i am clearly not taking any if i try to open them nothing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I have black camera screen too ,, on rooted stock 3.2, it takes pics but i get no preview,, and cant focus..
It's all fun and games until someone loses a camera!
Guys,
i had earlier flashed cm 7.2 to my defy plus with the battery fix and the camera fix....everything was working fine
However, a few days back, i got it back to the stock 2.3.6 via custom recovery....everything works normally, however, the camera is not working
It starts up and shows a blank screen with all the options....as if the camera were on, and someone had switched off just the lens....
When i click, the picture is taken and i can see the image, however, i cannot see the viewfinder view.....
Please help me....cheers

Which phone MB526 or MB525??
If it is MB525 then which color lens (Green or Red)?
However, in both the cases you may search the thread from which you have downloaded the ROM; that thread may have Camera fix for your phone.

Maybe, it helps.
Go to settings > apps > manage apps > all > camera > erase data

I have the same problem. My camera just dont want to focus. Sometimes it starts working again after 30 times closing and opening the camera app. Wiping data, installing other roms; it all doesnt help. I installed an app: lgcamera, and with this I managed to sometimes make sharp pictures. When it works in this app, my standard app works too. But its only temporary.
Hardware is working probably because sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt....
Anyhelp?
I have this problem, too. I believe it is a hardware problem. I disassembled my MB526 to access the camera and found that I can temporarily solve the problem.
It seems like a moving part of a camera with front lens in it was stuck in one position. I slightly moved it by a screwdriver, turned the phone on again and found autofocus working. Sometimes I hear high-frequency sound while camera app initializes a camera.
Before that camera didn't work for more than 3 months. It works from time to time now, so I hope to solve the problem by mounting a new camera module. Tha question is, where can I buy it? What is the part number of this piece?
Hi guys , everything was working fine with my new note 3. I have it for 4 days. Today , i updated the phone , it was some 190 mb patch. Phone restarted , installed everything and it was running as always. But then i tried camera , because there was some new feature with photo preview or whatever and the thing is that camera wont focus at all. It doesnt matter if low light or good ligh , flash on , of. It just wont focus anymore.
please guys help
Edit : I have just realised that camera can focus really close objects , like in 10 cm distance. But thats all.

Hi,
I'd suggest trying some different camera apps, just to see if the focus behaves differently in other apps. Then I'd try different settings in the stock camera app like auto focus, smart stabilization - just to see if the outcome is any different. If the camera indeed behaves differently on other apps or other settings in the stock app, than it might be a software issue (factory reset maybe?). I mean since you say it appears since updating, a factory reset might fix it...who knows.
Tried everything
Tried google camera app , tried reseting setting on samsung camera , still only macro is working.
By doing factory reset , all of my data and app will be deleted ? I dont really want to do that.
Yeah, that will wipe your data aswell. You could use full backups if you're rooted or if you have custom recovery flashed, but if you are using pure stock, then I can understand that you're not into wiping everything. Other than wiping, I can't give you more advice. Maybe someone else knows what to do.
Factory reset done , still not working

I just did factory reset and camera is still unable to focus I guess that i am sending this phone right away tomorrow and gonna change it for xperia z2 Note 3 is amazing but camera in low light is bad. And i need good camera in low light. Gonna miss S pen , bit amoled screen , usb 3.0 , 32 gig of internal storage and more. But low light camera performance is really poor.
I've had this problem on my note 2. It is a hardware problem. I had to replace the camera itself and it worked fine after. Something must've borked it during the update. Very uncommon, though.
Hello I'm looking for some help with my wife's phone . Ever since I updated the firmware to the latest the camera has this weird bug. When I take a picture in the dark the flash turns of before the shot is taken . Almost like the shutter is lagging. Any help would be appreciated.
