Galaxy S5 camera flickers sometimes on right edge of the screen - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a big problem with the galaxy s5 camera. Sometimes the camera starts flickering.. I mean a white coloured band comes for a millisecond on the right side of the screen and repeats every second. This is also seen while recording videos, and its very annoying. How can this problem be solved?

Return it

To further check the issue I found that this only happens with the stock camera app and does not happen with any other camera app like aosp camera etc. So is the issue hardware or software related?

it is a software problem.I have the same problem on my S4 with the stack camera app.If use google camera it works like a charm.

Maybe you should try a factory reset and see if the issue persists. If it does, definitely return it!

I have the same problem one times, I hope that this is only a SW issue and not HW. With the picture or with the video quality I have no problem.

[Q] N900T Vibrates on opening camera

I have this very weird problem where my phone vibrates every time I open the camera. Almost as if trying to focus. It vibrates the same way as when the phone is set on vibrate for notifications. I have the N900T and I am on 4.4.2 and rooted.
Any solutions?
I have same issue on N9005, when I open camera app (doesn't matter if Samsung's or snapchat or google's) it starts vibrating, it must be an isolated issue cuz this is the first time I see someone else to have same problem like me.

I have the same problem I think that it is only when it is very hot.

Camera

Hi, as anyone noticed a small click when closing the camera app?
Sometimes it does, sometimes doesnt. I think its the camera lens closing or something.
I am not sure but i think that sound comes when camera "relases" focus
So that also happens to you. I can also confirm that, when I focus in close distance and close camera, I can hear a small click, sometimes its a different click sound. Im less worried now. If it works it should be no problem.
Thanks

Camera focus problem

Somebody please help. I got my phone yesterday and I noticed this problem from the start. Rear camera focus is not working 8/10 times. If I try to focus on objects very close like 10 cm its works perfectly but try to focus on something few feet away it fails and screen remains blurred. And sometimes when it focuses screen is still very blurred. Screen looks similar to how 144p YouTube video looks like.
Somebody please tell me if my camera is defective or this is how the camera is on this phone.
same camera focus problem in lenovo zuk z1
same problem I am facing.
is that a problem with hardware or with the software (bug)

Requested a replacement from amazon and the guy who came said a lot of people are facing different issues on this device and so I returned the product instead. Now time to buy another phone
