Camera problems - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Lately while opening camera or trying to focus my camera makes a strange sound, like if it was one of those old optical zooms. Is this normal? About last week I noticed some kind of debris inside the lens but now I don't see it. I rooted and with a custom Tom I think I lost warranty. What should I do? Thanks

Camera issue

I have a black line in all my pictures that I just noticed a few days ago. Only shows up on photos taken from my phone. There is no crack I can see on the glass over the camera. Any ideas what it could be or a fix for it?
Last thing I installed was the clean v0.9 rom and the nexus s theme

Check to see if there is a scratch or anything on the camera lens. If there isn't, go back to stock (probably good to do this anyway) and check the camera again to see if it still does it. If it does, I'd take it back and get it replaced as that doesn't sound like a software problem.
Sounds like a broken element on the ccd to me.

Thanks for the response guys. I think you're right it's a hardware issue. Back to stock and off to verizon.... Hey maybe my new fascinate will like oc kernels lol.

[Q] very noisy pictures in low light

Hi,
I recently received an i9505, I previously had a HTC One X. Today I was taking some photos indoors and the pictures are so noisey. They are worse than my One X and my inlaws S3. They seem to lack sharpness, the videos too - very soft. Im loving the phone but they camera in general is dissapointing I find.
Also, the lens seems to have a sticker on it that I cant remove. It doesnt cover the middle / lens but around it. Is that normal??
Thanks

Camera problems!!!

Hi, im just new here and I've been having problemswith my s4. Nope i ddidn't root it. The camera is acting strange lately. Sometimes the camera stops and the screen just freezes. Here are the examples of the problems below
1st problem.
I took this picture in a dark room just after the camera freezed. This is a bit weirddd.
Second problem is that some of the pictures appear in half or some parts are erased. Just like these two pictures. I dunno what caused this problm. It is ANNOYING because it's like corrupting my pictures.
I Need help. Please looking forward to your answers.

Try restore to factory settings, otherwise replace the whole camera, its not so expensive http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-samsung-galaxy-s4-gt-i9505-back-camera.html
Warranty?

Did you drop your phone recently?
Try to update the frameware using "Kies". if it didn't help, its probably hardware issue, return it to the seller.
Before i even dropped it it's already like that. and no i dont want to buy a replacement for the rear camera cos i only bought this phone for like a month ago

If the live image on screen looks OK I would say you probably have a faulty SD card.
Do you store images on ext SD? If so change the storage location to internal SD and see if it still happens. Or vise versa.
Maybe try backing up data and formating internal or ext SD to see if it helps.

Blurry pictures

Anyone else noticing that when not in PERFECT lighting conditions pictures are blurry..
Yes - it's been driving me crazy... most of the time the pictures come out blurry. I've been messing around with different modes/settings and I cannot get a consistent clear picture. Pretty frustrating!
Take the sticker off the lense?

Yes, absolutely notice this. Brought it up in the other thread but no one thought it was worth checking. Have done tons of side by sides with Note 2 and honestly this camera is very touchy. Has a tiny field and it's often hard to see where that is in the pics. I really hope the camera gets a software update and it's not hardware because the camera has been the only thing I'm on the fence about. When you zoom in, even in good light, things in the taken pic get blurry and almost look like they have an effect.

Also, noticed right away. I thought maybe that I was just sleepy! lol, but what are the odds of a software update helping the issue?

Hopefully this new update that no one else seems to have gotten will help!!
Additionally, I feel that many times the camera has trouble focusing. Anyone else agree?

once i turned picture stabilazation off mine takes perfect pics
I tried turning mine off but seems the same.
Pictures in bright env. seem fine but indoors just flat out sucks.
I can hold my hand a little away from the camera a bit and it won't focus on it. If I tap to make it focus it sometimes turns green like it did but my hand is still blurry.
I hope they push a SW fix soon.
I don't understand it. How can you not catch some of this before release? Camera is a basic function of a smart phone...

Turn off image stabilization n see if that helps... dont think it has an effect on blurryness tho

May be an obvious question but has anyone tried some good 3rd party camera apps to see if it helps? Just a thought.
Also, here is another post discussing this issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717535&page=2
No blur here

One thing I noticed with a Note 3: The auto-shake correct seems to do this. Try turning that off and it seemed to improve the quality.
Yeah I have this problem too, and just made a thread about it in the Q&A forum.

I really hope a update comes out to fix all this and it's not just poor HW :/
It's just sad that these basic obvious issues make it out the door.
They should have caught these things and I understand shipments went already but we should have had updates just waiting for us to fix em.
Oh well, time shall tell I guess. Sprint won't help I'm sure given how slow they are to push updates too...
Anyone mess with any video? How's that, clear, blurry mixture mess? lol
That prob has ability to be better or worse I guess. You've got 1080P mode and 4K HD, which when enabled seems to kill off a number of features.
I've not messed with it yet but just wondering.

You do realize Sprint is the best carrier in terms of updates.Just an FYI...
I simply dont get very good pictures in anything that isn't natural full daylight. Not necessarily blurry, just extremely grainy. But thats rather expected with most smartphones.

I get great pictures until I upload them here and they get compressed and they get a littlw blurry but, looking at them on the phone or if I transfer them to my pc they look great

Im coming over from an iPhone 5 and noticed this immediately. The camera just flat out sucks!
My camera had a habit of switching to 6 mega pixels on its own for some reason. I have to constantly check to make sure it's still on 16 when I use it.

Help needed from Experts

Hi this is my first ever thread here
I find this forum quite informative
I have d 802 g2 upgraded to lollipop through pc suite
I am not a frequent user of camera or fond of taking pics
Recently I was in need of some pics but when i used my mobile's camera result was literally pathetic[emoji20]
Actually there is some sort of rainbow shaded film formed on the plastic that covers the rear camera and I want to know whether it is because of it and what is the solution
Thanks in advance
In daylight camera works better but in night or when we try to focus any light it is kind of blurry
