Galaxy s4 front camera problems - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Galaxy S4 I9505, but the front camera acts really strange. I can't focus nor can I zoom in or out with the front camera, wich I found to be very strange as the front camera on my iPod touch 4g even has the ability to focus on things. I'm running stock NB9 but I'm rooted. Sould I try a factory reset or is this a problem with the ROM or the hardware?
Thanks in advance

The S4 front camera is fixed-focus and you can't zoom because there's no point.

So you can't tap to focus on anything (for example your face in bright sunlight)??

Hello.
When I take a picture work my front camera, the top 1/3 of my screen is black. What could cause this, or is it normal?

Photos is on your SD card?? It should die every moment.
Alot of people are having this problem. Your front camera is mis aligned. Exchange it for a new one.

Just noticed my phone has developed a rattle. Sounds like something has came loose around the top of the phone. Any body else have this rattle.????

Well, this phone has something called OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). I guess when camera is on little motors are working to move the sensor. When it's off motors aren't working and it's just moving freely and making sound when shaking phone.
Is it ment to rattle? Yes and no, it depends how noisy it is
Cheers for the info. Would definitely put it down to the camera. Only noticed it by chance. Certainly not excessive but had a small heart attack when I noticed.

S8 and Google Photo's Non-Destructive Editing Still Creating Duplicates

I'm wondering if anyone on the T-Mobile variant is experiencing this issue I'm having.
When taking a photo with the camera app and editing it with Google Photo, it creates a duplicate and places the copy in a album title "PhotoEditor" instead of taking advantage of GP non destructive editing feature. Is anyone else experiencing this? Would love to get some feedback.
Edit: It seems to be working on the unlock version.
Yeah, I have unlocked version and it saves as a duplicate in the same folder as the original.

Weird, I posed the same question in another forum and there was those with the US Unlock version that it worked perfectly.
I have the exynos version.

How is the GPS of this device?

Hi
How are the GPS results? Is it spot on just like the huawei mate 20 pro example?
Can somebody post a picture that it use one of the advanced GPS cord. Or combined.
EDIT: something like L1+L5
