Hi guys,
Recently I bought a new LG G2. I noticed that camera lens is off center, close to right bottom edge. Please check the picture.
It seems to me the camera works fine, there are no shadows or artefacts on the photos. But it looks weird.
Do you think it might be a problem or that this can cause issues later because some parts in the phone body are misalligned?
Otherwise I'm happy with the phone, GPS works nice, it lasts for several days, charging is fast...
Thanks,
Petr

Hi everyone, this is my first post in the xda-developers forum!
I dropped my S4 yesterday and a few hours later when I wanted to take a picture with the camera I noticed this horizontal line that goes across the screen (it even casts a shadow underneath the line). At first I thought I might've cracked the camera lens but I shined the camera under a light at all different angles and I can't see any crack. Can someonw help me on this so that I can determine whether I just need to clean the sensor or buy a complete camera replacement?
Try a different camera app. If it's the same then it might be the camera.
That doesn't look like a crack though. Even so, it still might be something case by the impact.

Hello,
So I've been keeping this to myself for awhile since I don't really use the camera on my phone that often, but it's starting to annoy the living hell out of me so here I am.
My i9301Is camera sucks. Specifically, the autofocus. It barely ever works. On the rare occasion that I want to take a photo, I am greeted by a a blurry viewfinder and I have to touch literally everywhere on the screen to find the green square, and even then I usually can't get the camera to focus on anything. This usually happens when the object is at a distance of 1 meter or further (macros are generally fine). Light conditions don't matter, it's always the same. Should I turn my phone in for repairs, or is every s3 neo like this?
Oh, it's the same on both stock and cm. Also tried several camera apps.
tl/dr: Focusing on the camera is iffy. Halp plz?
To clarify, I did drop my phone a few times so that might have something to do with it. Rest of the phone seems ok though.

oh, try to clear the lenses and flash. If problem persists then it can be a hardware problem but i am not sure about it.

I have already wiped the lens clean. There is a scratch on the glass, but it doesn't run across the lens hole so I doubt that's it. Oh well, I guess I'll take it to the shop. Thanks for the reply
A friend of mine have an i9301i and he is complaining about the same problem . He says the autofocus barely works, everytime he gets a red square ... Can i you please leave a feedback about what they told you in the store?

I don't have this problem ,never. My autofocus works good. I got red square against direct sunlight .
Update: I noticed that this problem mostly occurs when I'm trying to take a photo of something that is on or near objects that have some fine detail on them, like the tiles and plants in these photos I took today. Objects on smooth surfaces usually turn out fine, but not always.

Sure thing, however I'm unfortunately abroad on vacation at the moment. I'll take my phone to the Samsung service center when I go back, mid-September. I'll keep you posted.
Hi Guys,
I purchased the Galaxy S7 Edge from Uae and now I am back in my hometown.
unfortunately my phone is only a month old and i just noticed that the front camera is misaligned by 1mm or so, you can see more of the black ring and the lens of the camera is more towards the right.
Although the camera works perfect and there are no problems, should i be worried?
I am extremely worried as the phone has no warranty in my country .
if you look at the front camera and activate it by double tap the home button (front camera activated), you will see that the lens moves. it seems to be normal.
So don´t worry about the warranty. i have two galaxy s7 edge devices and both of them have the camera misaligned.
Sorry for my english.
Double posting!

Hi all. I was wondering if it is user error or maybe a known problem that will require an update. I was snapping pics last night in a poorly lit room for some electronic drums that I am selling and I tried auto mode, wide angle, standard, and manual with all settings on auto and I had to use the pics that I took with my old Nexus 6 becuase the quality of pics from the G6 was soooo poor, really terrible. About the only good results I got were with pop out mode (I may be confused about the name of that mode)
Funny, I was thinking about upgrading my N6 primarily because of the camera but that won't be happening until I figure this out. The G6 is my wifes but I wanted to see how it would perform. The biggest problem was the flash produced an incredible amount of light on the edges or sides of the pics. Really extreme, couldn't be edited out.
Open to suggestions or wondering if this is a known issue.
Thanks
Hello guys,
Just to post to warn you about the quality difference between the A1s
A bit of background:
I have bought a Xiaomi a1 for my gf, and i was really impressed by the built quality of this budget phone, the screen was very nice especially and the camera quality with GCam or even in Panorama mode was insane. (I can show some pics if you want).
So I decided to get one for myself, for quick travel photography, along with my full frame camera.
I have just received it and I am so disappointed, the screen is bad, it has a yellow tint especially in the top left corner.
The camera is extremly bad, it has a built issue and it's not sharp at all.
Now I will try to get a refund (bought it on Aliexpress).....
So yep, be careful, test your phone when you receive it, you might be unlucky and get a crappy version
My screen glass has defects on the inside (right where the LCD and glass meet), it's positioned at the upper left of my screen, the 2-3 small imperfections are really distracting. It looks like an indent from the inside causing small black spots on the glass. I can't show it because the camera won't pick it up.
Im one of the unlucky too.
My phones screen is separating from the frame on the left and right side.
Battery is so bad like I get 1 hour of full charge
USB C port is loose. This phone never fell out of my hands its falling apart on its own!
Wow, it seems i am not the only one, the quality insurance at Xiaomi seems to be their weak point.
It's sad, because when you stumble on a good one, they are real beasts for the price!
Its the worst phone I've had. Even my Galaxy S4 is better and more durable then this piece of c*ap
Got mine last October when it released and no issues. Built quality and screen are superb. It also takes great pictures with gcam installed.
My Mi A1 hasn't really had any issues, I bought it from my friend's cousin so it's second hand but he really took care of it. Nowadays I'm having a great experience with it, I'm just afraid about EMMC degrading like some users have reported... However, It has 8-9 months already and it's running pretty decently
Dropped mine about 30 cm and a flex cable got loose so I had to open the phone and put it back.. But flawless ever since :silly:

Yep, I have already checked, and they are virtually the same, here is the result:
The screens are the exact same: GFF, Vendor: Tianma, ICtm1911(focal)
The cameras too, but I think it's the same for everyone.
For the rest, the only difference is that mine is a 64 gb and the other one a 32 GB.
