camera focus did't work at all

okay i just got my new s4 yesterday, took a few photos with it and it all worked amazing.. and then i upgraded its android from 4.2 to 4.3 (it asked me if i want to upgrade). but i didn't try the camera again until later in the evening.. i opened the stock camera app- it was blurry. and i mean blurry as hell.. it couldn't focus anything, like the focus didn't worked at all.. i could only see clear image if i bring the phone very very close to the thing i want to see.. and when i shaked my phone a bit, i could hear the lens inside jumping.. restarting the phone didn't helped.. and after about half an hour i tried the cam again, it magicaly fixed itself.. so far it focuses very good, but im afraid that this problem could happen again. so, i guess it's either a hardware problem, or the newer android version, i'm not sure.. anyone had the similiar problem?

G2 camera doesnt focus

I'm currently on stock zvc rooted with twrp from autorec. I have been using Jishnu's 4k cam mod for a while now and its worked perfectly fine but all of a sudden my camera lost the ability to focus. It did this a couple days ago and I tried restoring camera from Jishnu's camupdate apk and then reinstalling and also installed xdabbeb's 4k cam and it wasn't working but after 15 mins or so I went back to the camera and it was working again. This time though I tried to do what I did before but it doesnt have any effect on it. I no longer have the stock camera files does anyone have them so I can try that out? A flashable zip would be even better if possible. Other then that does anyone have any idea what I could do besides tot'ing back which I'd rather avoid if possible?

Did you try another camera app to make sure it's not a hardware issue?
If I helped you, please thank me

got a stock non rooted d803 and camera just wont focus as well
takes nice close up pics but anything further than 2 inches and its out (even manual focusing doesnt work)
tried other camera apps and no joy, went as far as factory reset and nothing
LG and phone company tech advised bringing it in for replacement

Sorry for the late reply didn't notice I got two replies but I had tried google camera and another random camera before
and they both wouldn't focus at all. However my camera is working now I went and tot'd to stock 4.4.2 but the camera
wasn't working immediately after doing that it still wasn't working so I was afraid maybe the hardware was broken. But
after installing the 4k camera mod and doing some messing around with the camera and then leaving the phone alone
for a while with the camera app running in the background it works again. Its very weird I don't really understand it what
threw me off as well was after running titanium backup to restore apps/data the camera was still working so I started
setting stuff up. I noticed the xposed installer was not up to date so I went and updated it and then rebooted the phone.
After that I checked the camera and it wasn't focusing again at all. I figured xposed might be the culprit so I went and
uninstalled it then rebooted but it didn't have any effect the cam still wouldn't focus. So I reinstalled and enabled it and
did the installing 4k mod messing with camera and leaving it alone routine and after a while the camera is working
again. Very suspicious I'm at a loss but I went and did a nandroid backup while the camera was working so if anything
I can restore that and hopefully fix it.

Sorry for the late reply but my camera still isn't working properly. Whenever I open a camera app its all blurry and it won't
focus what I have to do everytime I need to take a picture of something is shake the phone around in different angles and
sometimes hit it near the camera region lol. I find that after giving it a good shake/hit it'll start focusing again. I don't know if
that means theres a problem with the OIS interfering in some way since the lens can move around and stuff so maybe shaking
it makes it focus correctly but its annoying.
I would go bring the phone in for repair/replacement if you're covered. I would do it myself but I plan on getting the G3 soon
anyway so don't really need to fix this one. Hope it works out for you though.

Front facing camera

Is anyone else experiencing problems with their front facing camera? I've only had my moto x pure for a month. Last week, the camera was malfunctioning and when the app froze, I restarted my phone and the front facing option button was not there anymore. I tried clearing the cache and disabling it, uninstalling the updates and using a different app but it's still not there. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Full wipe.

I did do a factory reset and it worked for a few hours but then it stopped working once again.

Then what apps did you install when it stopped working?

I didn't install any new apps. I was using the rear facing camera for about 2 hours on and off and sometimes it would lag. After that, the camera app started to freeze up every time I opened it up. Then the front facing camera stopped working.

I just noticed my front camera no longer works. It has been a while but it didn't hit me that there was a problem. Cerberus is set to take a photo after two missed passwords and I did notice it was only taking pictures from the rear camera a few weeks ago. Open Camera app doesn't see the front camera either.
I did a factory reset and that didn't help. I also thought I used to be able to pick the storage location but that doesn't show up in the menu.
I am on a 1575 with the latest patch (February Security). I am rooted (systemless) but I am not sure that comes into play since the factory reset didn't fix it.
I have the moto extended warranty including damage but would like to definitely rule out software issues before going down that path.

I continued troubleshooting by installing AICP (I had been running stock), unrooting and also tried booting into android "safe mode" and the front camera still didn't work. I finally rolled back to 5.1.1 using the return to stock tool and the front camera still did not work. I am now believing that the problem is hardware related so I am sending it in to Moto for repairs. Interestingly their website would not process the repair (it said I was not in the US even though my address clearly said US) so I called and they processed it. I have the FedEx label from them and they said the turn around is around 5 days. Back to my HTC M8 for a week or so.

Moto emailed me today and said that my warranty is void because I unlocked my bootloader. I was under the impression that hardware issues would still be covered not to mention that I bought the moto extended warranty. It looks like this is my last moto.

Camera Error

Hey y'all, I got the G6 yesterday and had a camera related question. This is a brand new device, fully updated, and when I go to open the camera, a message pops up saying "Camera Error: Camera Unavailable." Does anyone know how I can fix this?
This seems like an app error because the camera works well on Facebook and Snapchat.

settings -apps-camera -clear cache and date reboot-try!
If not working.....if not working.?.RMA

I already did that and I get the same error. I find this odd.

I was wrong. Both Snapchat and Facebook switch between the single and dual lense back cameras. They do not switch to the front camera.

I have the same issue with my LG G6. Have you fixed yours?

I got a new one, only way to fix it.

Im having the same issue after a screen replacement. The people who replaced the screen even boight a new front camera and replaced it with no luck. Also, the screenshot button for the bottom bar is conpletely missing which i find very odd.

That error seems to be the camera unpluged
I mean the phone is made of connections between hardware and the camera is not connected , its an hardware problem that is fixed by open the phone and plug jt in

Hey y'all, I got the G6 yesterday and had a camera related question. "Camera Error: Camera Unavailable." Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I have the same issue with my phone. I replaced the cameras and it still gets the error; however, it does come on when I use a barcode reader...?

I also have the same issue (lg g6 - android 9)
When i open stock app for camera i get error "Camera unavailable".
But with other camera apps like Gcam or Open Camera, it works fine.
I flashed with new rom, but the error is still there.
Any ideas???
- i flashed with Android 9... not solved
- i flashed with Android 8... not solved
Hardware problem?
in that case why camera works fine with any other application, except stock?
Software problem?
it should have been solved after flashing two original roms (8 & 9).
The only explanation i can think is that there is hardware problem with 1 of the 2 camera. And maybe with the wide one. And maybe that's why it is not working with stock app. Maybe other camera apps don't require both camera's (normal and wide lens) to be working.

Rear camera of the Moto G7 does not focus

Hello,
A few months ago, I bought a Moto G7 and installed Lineage OS 16 (with MicroG). After using the phone for a few days, the rear camera no longer focused. I installed OpenCamera and tried focussing manually, which did not work, either. All of a sudden, the focus started working again and worked flawlessly for several weeks. A few days ago, it broke again.
I assume that this is a hardware issue. So I will try to restore it to its original condition and have it repaired. Before doing this, I wanted to ask if anybody here had a similar problem or if anybody knows if this could be a software problem.
Best regards,
Bernbacher

I finally upgraded the device to Lineage OS 17, and the camera started focussing again. It has been working for a few days now. The problem may have been a software issue. Does anybody have an idea what could have gone wrong with Lineage OS 16 and got reset when installing Version 17?

Finally I found something out. When using OpenCamera, I can change the camera ID. For the rear camera, there are ID0 and ID2. When using camera ID 0, the camera does not focus. When using ID2, focussing works perfectly.
This would solve the problem if there were not applications which seem to use ID0 always (e.g., to scan a QR-code).
I assume that ID2 refers to this:
android.hardware.camera2 | Android Developers
developer.android.com
Is there a way to make other applications use ID2? Preferably without rooting the phone?
(I actually need my banking app to read QR codes. AFAIK, the banking app does not work on rooted devices.)
