Anyone else's camera blurry?

WHen I first got the Slide it was awesome! The pictures it took looked great... but now my phone won't auto focus right... there is no manual focus... now it just takes awesome blurry out of focus pictures!
Is this happening to anyone elses phone? From the looks of the intertubez this will become a "known" issue with TMO
Are there any files the camera accesses for settings or the like that may be damaged? I have tried other ROMS and they all seem to have the same problem....

yup, happened to me too, i just got a warranty replacement and it's clear again. you have to call and get a new phone.

My camara was blurry the other day and I noticed it had condensation under the lens. It ended up drying out but the pics still arent as clear as they have been. Weird.

yea this same thing happened to mine and i just called them and got a replacement. i even tried resetting my phone before i sent it in and that didnt fix the problem so idk what causes it. Hopefully it doesnt happen again with my new one.

It started happening after this rave I played at.... the humidity inside was probably 100%

Yes, this happened to me as well. It would only focus on things literally about an inch from the lens. When wiping didnt fix the problem, T-mobile sent me a new Slide.

Blurry Cam
I just bought the MTslide about a week ago on craigslist and I too have the blurry focus issue, ive cleaned it, messed with settings all to no success. It only takes clear pictures if the object is an inch away. I of course do not have insurance cuz I bought on craigslist, is there anything I can do I'm desperate? I love this phone it's amazing but I dont want to have to go back to my CliqXT because of the camera (especially since its still on 1.5 till Motorola's "fairytale" update which they keep pushing aside)

So I just got my new Slide and it still has 2e
What is the best program to use to backup all the programs and crap before I unroot this one and send it back...

Yep.... Same deal with mine. Sending it into HTC for repair. It is stuck in Macro focus... Go up to something close and it will be fine.

Fine if you only want to take macro photos..... otherwise useless!

I had the same problem with out of focus but it came down to condensation. I live in Florida and it has been hot and it is the same over the US right now. Everyone is using AC but going from cool and low humidity to hot and very high humidity well you build up condensation. I left my phone in the sun for about 45 minutes and then took some pics and it worked fine A few days later it was back to being blurry and tried the same thing. If I leave the phone in the house without going outside and take pics it is fine as well. Just going from on extreme to another it takes its toll. I do photopgraphy and when I go out to do a shoot I leave my camera in the trunk of my car to get rid of the condensation on the lens and mirros inside the camera.

I think i figured the problem out why everyone camera goes blurry.
I have the mytouch slide and the pictures were perfect and crystal clear. Then when the firmware 2.1 update came, that messed up the camera big time and made it barely unusable.
Please fix the issue!!!!

I just had mine replaced via warranty exchange. Just call, tell them you're having trouble, there's nothing on the lens, the water damage indicator is white, and it's still not working. You'll get a new one and if you don't have insurance they'll charge you ten bucks to deliver it to you.
I actually don't think it has anything to do with condensation or heat or humidity. Yes, all of those things can affect ANY lens on ANY phone, and the update may have even adversely affected certain handsets but this is a handset by handset issue. My father's mytouch slide got the update and still works better than my old camera did. It's a hardware problem with a certain batch of these phones. My wife's is still fine and she got it early on like me. The lens tries to focus and snaps back to its original position. It's a defect. You can play with the settings all you want, but other than minor adjustments and a lot of placebo effect, you're not gonna fix it.

I hear you. But i just got this two weeks ago in the store and the camera was perfect till after the update. I would hate to get a replacement for a silly camera. So debating to not care and keep the phone or just risk it and get a Warranty one

You have nothing to lose by getting a new one via warranty exchange. You don't even have to be without your phone. It comes to you in the mail, you backup your contacts, you hard reset the old one, you're done.
The camera won't get better, it will not improve, you'll have the new phone before you know it. And the slide is relatively new which means the longer you wait, the higher the likelihood that you get a manufacturer refurb. instead of the new one I got 2 days ago.
Just do it. Someone in your life will do something, you'll want the silly camera, and you'll go, "damn, I shoulda listened to that dude on the forum".

I'm practically in the same boat. I called a few repair places up here in Seattle and since it's such a new phone, none of them were able to order parts. Does anyone know if HTC will repair it. Or even repair it if it's rooted?

I just had this problem with my wife's slide and having read similar threads on different forums including tmobile's, I called customer care and lied a little about doing all kinds of things to make sure it's hardware, like doing a factory reset. Never mention that it's rooted! Just play dumb and they'll send you a new phone under warranty. We got the new one yesterday and I rooted it while my wife was still at work, following the new root method as it came with the 1.35.x update.and flashed chiefz 1.35.x rooted ROM (she likes espresso). When she came home I took the old phone and installed the 1.27.x esprimg.img and then flashed the 1.35.x OTA (non root). Put it in the return box and gonna drop it at a UPS drop box today.
It sounds like a lot of steps, but it goes relatively quick.

i'm currently experiencing the camera issue as well as my wifi not working (running CM6) ...it simply cannot see any networks. I tried even loading the latest nightly build to no avail. As my phone has a slight crack on one of the buttons I'm going to try and get a refurb and then possibly sell it for a G2
I'll reply how it goes

I honestly do not notice the blurry pictures issue that you guys are having. The pictures are awesome in light but gets a little grainy in low light conditions, other than that my pictures and videos are great. Are you guys complaining about low light pictures?

[Q] Some moving parts inside G900F?

I got G900F few days ago and I noticed that there is some parts inside my phone that are not fixed, so I hear tickling when I use phone, especially when I shake it. It comes from upper part of phone. I went to shop where I bought it and tried some other S5s there and I think they all have same issue. Seller guy told me to go to official Samsung service center after holidays...
Maybe it is camera lenses that are not fixed, or some other sensors?
Can anybody confirm this ticking when shaking phone?
Thanks.

It's the camera. The lens is free to move otherwise you couldn't refocus. If you open the camera app you'll notice the rattling goes away as the focus motor has power at that point. It's nothing to worry about, it's no a failure or defect, most modern phones rattle when you shake them for the same reason.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, I found similar explanations on some other sites, just wanted to see if everyone have this issue..

S4 blurry camrea

Hello, I have Galaxy S4 I9500, and recently my phone was sent for a repair in a lab.
This guy at the lab tried to fix the problem, wiped the phone and changed the rom, and after he didn't managed to fix the problem he sent me the phone back.
The problem is that now the phone's back camera is blurry, and the front camera is fine.
How to fix this problem?

help

where is the lab?
Bring your S4 to official service center. Hope the warranty didnt void yet.

I too have this problem. As soon as I bought this phone last May 2013, I phoned up Samsung's service centre and after pestering them daily for 6 days straight, I was able to get through to a real samsung executive, not the voice call centre handling people.
This guy told me that the hardware for the camera can be replaced and that this will fix my problems.
Believing this person, I took it to the Samsung authorized service centre where The existing camera hardware was diassembled and a brand new camera unit was then affixed on to my phone's motherboard. - I saw this process.
Unfortunately, the pictures came out the same even after the replacement. I called up the samsung executive again and asked for a full phone replacement or refund. He explained to me that is impossible. and that I had to live with the camera quality provided.
I have now started accepting the poor quality photos - I too feel that the front cam is 500% better than the rear cam, and wish that I didnt fall for samsung's 13MP camera advert bullsh*t.

The point is the camera was fine, and suddenly it just became blurry while the guy tried to fix it.
You think it has to do with the hardware and not the software of the S4?

help?

Help :/ ?

I downloaded FV5 Camera and I managed to find out that the problem is with the focus, because sometimes I get good pictures but it happens in rare occasions.
How can I fix this focus problem in the camera? I think it's a software problem.

Hey sorry for the delay.
I feel that its a hardware issue, most probably with some precision component getting misaligned or something - not directly related to the camera unit, i suppose.
No amount of software tweaks can fix slow camera h/w - because of which blurs are too common...

can't the kernel be the issue?

Given that I am not familiar with how android kernels work, I cannot include or exclude it from suspicion...
even if such a fix can be made available by the many geniuses in XDA(if you are reading this, thanks guys!) increasing the speed at which the kernel performs precision control on the h/w components will increase the battery drain, wont it?

I found out that the only problem is the focus, the phone doesn't know how to focus properly.
Sometimes the images aren't blurry, because the phone focused right, but this happens in very rare occasions.

Help?

Help???

I found out that the camera focus works only in VERY bright pictures, only then the camera works.
When I look at light with the camera it suddenly focuses and works, but if I look at area which isn't very bright the focus starts to lose.
How can I fix it? Please.

I found out that my friend updated his S4 to KitKat and he has the same problem.
As I said before, the images are perfectly fine when I take photos at VERY BRIGHT enviroment, where the source of light has to be nearby,
then the camera's focus works properly. But if it's not very bright, then the focus starts to fade, until it's blurry.

[Q] Camera focus problem

Please help me, I just noticed that when I take a picture up close, my camera seems to only focus on the part that I touch, even though it's a flat thing like my monitor. It's like I'm applying tilt shift to my picture.
My Note 4 model is N910H and I'm on Sweet Rom V3, and installed camera mod from the apps forum. Tried using stock camera and 3rd party apps, still get the same result.
I uploaded some picture I'm taking from my monitor with my note 4 so that you can understand what I meant.
Is this hardware fault? or is it software?

Looks a bit too extreme. Just tried that myself - SLIGHTLY blur at the picture's end, but just slightly.
Your pictures look like taken with "Background Defocus".

I have removed them from the first time I unboxed it, even if I didn't remove it, it has hole in the middle so it should'nt affect the camera.

I know. - But there are many users not even noticing it - and it's possible that the film shifted a bit, so it might cover a little part of the lens.

Please try any other camera software. As said: It looks like that typical "defocus" effect - maybe that feature is still on although you can't see it being active.
There's a simlilar issue with the Sony Z3 front camera (the main camera IS an issue itself): There's a "Soft Skin" effect, causing massive blur. You can switch it off - but it still remains active.
So it wouldn't be the first time.

So I am not alone.
I am having similar issues with my camera.
Took it to Samsung for replacement. They were offering repair on a 10 day old phone.
Anxious to see what happens next

Glad I'm not alone with focusing problems...
Here is my topic : Note 4 camera won't lock focus + blurry edges on pictures with far focus
Best regards,
Chris.

Nope, definitely not alone. I am having similar issues with my camera, and I have been having them since I got my phone on October 21'st. Taking it in for repairs or hopefully a replacement. For me, the camera will focus fine on stuff within a meter or two, but anything farther just will not focus unless I hit the phone. That sounds kinda dangerous, but that is the only thing I can do to fix it. I have pretty much everything possible with no fixes. It doesn't do it all the time, but it seems to get stuck 50/50. When it works, it works for a while. When it doesn't work, it doesn't work for a while.

Same here....I got a repair ticket in with Samsung, I unfortunately have to send my phone off for 2 weeks.................WHATEVER WILL I DO!???!!!???!!

note 4 verizon camera not focusing on documents
I had the same problem and the main purpose of the "Note" family of samsung is to edit documents on the fly so this sucks.
I could not find a solution. There is no option in the camera menu that corrects this. I tried using "cam scan" and "FX" camera app and they both had the same problem with partial blurred image.
I purchased my phone from craigslist and met the seller in the store to make sure it was legit and not stolen. I purchased the phone two or three weeks ago and I feel very fortunate that Verizon helped me to do a manufacturers defect claim after searching my IMEI number for date of original purchase. since the phone only came out a few months ago they should all still have the manufacture warranty.
I usually dont post to things because im not tech savvy but I thought I should give verizon credit for helping me even though I did not purchase the phone from their store. I just got back from the store and I should have my new phone in one business day and just mail the defective one back in the package they provide. Amazing since I work with documents and notes on the fly everyday.
sorry I dont have a fix for the problem and if you root your phone your SOL unless you have accidental handling and damage type insurance, if you catch my drift.

The pictures you posted worries me a little as this can happen in other Galaxy devices released in the near future. Samsung is really falling apart, and need to get their act together and hurt innocent customers. No wonder Samsung's quarterly report is much lower than expected.

Sorry I didn't update the thread. I brought my phone to Samsung service center, and had to leave it for 2 days for them to change my camera module. And it's now all good again. The problem obviously lies on the hardware, so nothing you can do to fix it unless you change that camera module.

THIS WHAT I DID WORKING FINE FOR ME HOPE ILL HELP YOU
Sashka: Let us perform a few troubleshooting steps on the device to isolate the cause of the issue. Shall we?
karim: OK
Sashka: Please go to Settings >> Application Manager >> swipe to All tab >> scroll to "Camera" app.
Sashka: Perform clear cache and clear data on it.
Sashka: It would reset the settings of the camera app.
Sashka: Perform this and check the issue with the camera's focus.
karim: LITTLE BETTER THANKS FOR THE HELP
Sashka: However, as the camera is fine now, Let us perform soft reset. It will refresh internal circuit of the phone: Remove the battery and re-insert it after 30 sec.
Sashka: Once you perform this, check the camera issue, this would refresh the circuitry as we have changed a few settings,

Home button issue

Hi
I have my s7 edge for 3 weeks now, and I started to notice that when I press the edges of the home button it sometimes won't register a click.
What I do is just press an edge of the button with my fingernail with low amount of pressure to create this issue.
I can't return it because it's been too long, and I'm afraid to use my warrenty because I'm afraid it won't remain water proof...
What would you do?

I have same thing. It's waterproof. Don't worry about it.

I thought I could live with mine but after 2 days I had to return it.... Replacement was perfect...
Edit* Oops noticed you've had it for 3 weeks.... Most companies give you only 14 days...... Guess you may have to just live with it........Is your fingerprint sensor working good?.... The biggest problem I had was I always hold my phone in my left hand then use my thumb to press the home button.... But hitting it on the left part of the button worked 1 out of 5 times.... You'll just have to get used to pressing in the middle

Personally I don't think they will say anything.... Samsung quality control has always been a little shady.... Actually this was the first Samsung phone I didn't have to take back since the S2.... But after a couple of days I realized people could barley hear me cause my microphone was I supposed to and out.... Got replacement and everything was perfect ? except the damn home button!.... So one more return later and now I have a perfect screen and a buttons work great
....... I'm really picky and OCD about phones when I get them.... I took my S6 back twice also.... Had a home button rattle and also dust under the screen...... If you ever get sick of it... I use button Savior app.... It replaces all your hardware buttons but you can gesture it or put an onscreen trigger to open it..... I like it better than other onscreen buttons because its always hidden until you need it

Mine does the same thing even when I pressed in the middle. I had to click twice since it didn't register the first one. Happened about 5 times but since I received an update from Tmobile, it doesn't happen anymore, or yet... Hopefully it'll stay that way.

....... I'm really picky and OCD about phones when I get them.... I took my S6 back twice also.... Had a home button rattle and also dust under the screen...... If you ever get sick of it... I use button Savior app.... It replaces all your hardware buttons but you can gesture it or put an onscreen trigger to open it..... I like it better than other onscreen buttons because its always hidden until you need it

What was wrong with the screen?

Personally I don't think they will say anything.... Samsung quality control has always been a little shady.... Actually this was the first Samsung phone I didn't have to take back since the S2....

Yes I have OCD with phones too, only this time I didn't spot this issue until it was too late, hopefully an update fixes it, but we'll see.

It's kinda nice to know that I'm not the only one who cares about those annoying issues...
When i realized i have an issue it was already 2 days passed the 14 days so...
When i approached a samsung rep he told me that this is how the button works, and that i can send it to the lab but its going to take a few days so i passed..
Anyways i dont want my phone to be opened, I'm too scared waterproofing will be lost...

This is something a certified repair center can easily handle without losing the waterproofing. Certified centers have been trained to fix these models, and they have all the tools to do so, while uncertified repair centers won't necessarily have the training, and they won't have the official tools, so they can't guarantee that the waterproofing is still intact after a repair. If an official Samsung rep told you it could be fixed or whatever, then I'm sure it should be fine. You have warranty, and it should be used for things like this.
If you send it in, you'll probably sit where you are now in a week or so with a fully functioning device, or you can just ignore it and still sit where you sit now in a week with a defect device. I would do it.

I would send it in too..... But sometimes it can take 6 weeks... I had to send an S4 in once and it came back almost 2 months later.... If it's something you can't live with send it back..... But you should have a 1 year warranty if anything actually goes wrong with it...... It is a pretty widespread issue in the Galaxy S7 edge line hopefully they get it fixed in later batches.... But if it were me I would probably deal with it rather than send my brand new phone out... Unless they can guarantee you a return date
