Greetings!
Before I think about opening and exposing the guts of my beloved Note 3 I had a question. The problem I'm having as of late is with my autofocus. When I open up the camera app I feel the camera vibrate as its focusing. Sometimes it will focus in on what I'm looking at, sometimes it doesn't.The autofocus will vibrate for long periods of time sometimes with no luck and will just be blurry. I'm thinking I could just replace the camera but what I need to find out is if it's the camera or does something else control the autofocus? I've also tried another camera app camera fv-5 and the problem with the autofocus is still present. Many Thanks
I had a similar problem. My camera looked like crappie blurry fuzzy, not like before 4.4.2 so I tolerated it until battery life was a disaster then I found xda and rooted and instslled jasmine rom and that fixed my camera and battery. Now the camera is s5 camera big difference in quality battery is great as well. I double checked my camera by installing a different rom and wow it looked so bad I could not see anything but blur so I went back to jasmine the newest version.

Hello,
I've installed the Lenovo Camera.apk and it works great.
With the samsung camera, maybe try to turn on the flash, It did resolve my issue with the autofocus.

This has been bugging me somewhat from the beginning, but just recently I've been taking a lot of pictures, and this issue is simply unacceptable:
I think the autofocus algorithm of Evo is broken. It just doesn't seem to focus properly - you can see the image going sharp, and then the Evo almost always focuses away from that sharpest point. The result is that 4 out of 5 pictures will come out unnecessarily fuzzy.
Any ways of fixing this? Maybe a different camera app, or a custom kernel?
Yeah, the auto-focus in the camera app blows. the CM camera app I had when I had the nexus had tap top focus, but the evo version does not. I now use vigenette app to take photos. the auto-focus there works much better.
What ROM are you running?
AF on sense camera app sucks

Vignette provides superior focus. Thanks.
When using the sense camera, uncheck auto focus and face recognition... it makes a world of difference. My pics always come out super sharp and clear regardless of light conditions.
well my camera is buggy and I dont think its the apps fault. sometimes you can hear it focusing even when camera app is not being used. I took my camera apart down to the eye, applied light suction with vac, cleaned both lenses on both sides and now it works like a champ.
camera problem solved
Thank you! You just solved my problem.
My camera had purple grainy lines when trying to focus. I was about to send it in for repairs.
You sir just saved me a trip and the unbearable agony.
you are a gentleman & a scholar.

Hey all,
I've had my N4 for a week now and a couple of days ago I gave the camera a go. I have to say that I'm not impressed at all. Most all pics came out grainy. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm thinking of returning it. Now I don't use the camera a whole lot, but sometimes when a picture presents its self and I don't have my DSLR the cell camera is what I have. I would like the pics to look descent. I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy S and with a 5MP camera and no LED flash it takes better pics than the N4. Is it the stock JB software for the camera and using another camera app would fix it?
Thanks,
Chevy

there will be grain in low-light but it's not too bad to my eyes.
if it bothers you, you could use flash; try another camera app, like camera zoom fx, that lets you control iso; or clean up the grain in post with noise-ninja or similar.
i never expect too much from phone cameras but they can produce decent results if you work within their limitations.
EDIT: i downloaded camera zoom fx yesterday and would highly recommend it over the stock camera app.
Hey, I recently got my G2 and I love it. The only thing that really annoys me is the camera. When indoors in a fairly well lit room, it lags. I'm not talking about the focus, but the framerate is really low and what appears on the screen is behind what is actually happening, on both front and rear cameras. My old S IIIs camera performed alot better than this, and it's frustrating whenever I even open any camera involving app (stock camera app, snapchat, google camera etc.) Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this how all G2s are, or is mine faulty?
The g2 camera is a pos. It produces a ton of noise in fair to low light and it takes in not enough light to perform properly. You can try installing a camera mod which I did yesterday after I was *****ing on here about the same issues. I installed xdabbab's mod and it seems a hair better than the stock camera but it still sucks. The galaxy s3/4/5 iPhone 5/5s and all the Nokia lumias all perform better then the G2.
If you are tooted try installing the camera mods and see if they help you. I'm just spoiled by better camera phones .

I'm trying to find a solution or reason for my phone auto-focusing perfectly on close-up shots for only an instant. Then it goes out of focus.
I have found older threads of problems with MACRO capturing, but the problem is not focusing at all. Mine focuses perfectly, then leaves.
It acts the exact same way with snapchat, camera 360, and snap camera.
Also, "close-up" is about a foot away or less. However, anything further isn't exactly as noticeable when it comes to determining how precise the focus is.

Hi billybag did you ever get a fix your your focusing problem? I have exactly the same problem with my note3 too.
Close up, the camera will focus correctly for a split second but wont stay on that focus. Tried several other camera apps but all have similar results
Jim.
Google camera app is great and other camera apps also moment camera filmic pro camera but there is a issue the camera will not shoot over one one second exposure there also a bigger issue why you cannot shoot great picture with the flash on it's always delayed
Is there any solution for this problem for the axon7?
Same question here
