Camera super shaky, cant properly focus.
Test video added.
Yes, I think this is a hardware issue, as I'm assuming you must have tried other camera apps to no avail?
I don't think there is a fix for this, so needs to returned to the retailer / Huawei for a repair or replacement.
Similar problem here (different brand & model):
Yes i tried other apps, i just hope it is the camera module not anything motherboard related.
Camera module swap fixed it!

Hello everyone!
Since I replaced the broken rear camera of my GT-I9505 the camera doesn't focus properly. First I thought it was a faulty replacement, but the replacement of the replacement as well as the camera from a different seller show the same behaviour:
The google drive widget for scanning docs focusses correctly, but none of the available camera apps work. As soon as the app tries to focus the focus goes into near mode and remains there with no further movement.
I have factory reset the phone, reinstalled all camera apps, flashed other roms, factory reset again, with no change.
Has anyone experienced this as well?
Thanks for any tips

So little rear camera replacements? I guess I am the only fool that managed to crack it

Hello there
I also have this same problem and done all those same things to fix this. 12cam is now useless. Some1 help us out of our misery! :I
I just picked up the i9505 second hand (first smartphone). Same problem here. I went through 3 camera module parts off eBay... first one was the wrong part (i9500), and other two were supposedly i9505 - same results: camera never focuses. *Sometimes* it will temporarily focus if I moderately shake the phone, even then, only if the phone is tilted upright and not facing down.
Is the front camera unaffected for you guys?

Might camera hw problem
my lg g2 can't connect to camera and hence force crashes, the front camera works. i replaced the camera by buying a new one, but the issue is still present,
i've noticed something though, when i installed a torch app, the following message comes up - "Due to limitation of your hardware or OS, your device does not support LED Cam light, We will light up your screen at maximum instead."
It also says - "Your LED is being used by another application. We will light up your screen instead."
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers
Try reflash your phone to stock .kdz might help.

These would probably a hardware issue then. Since nothing could fix it by meant of software. Did you get a genuine camera module for the replacement? Im afraid its not compatible or at least the module itself is broken. If you happen to consider buying another camera module i would suggest getting G3 camera module as it 100 percent compatible with G2 and also it had a little better spec.

Have you tried running a test with 3845#*802#?

could it be that the replacement camera is faulty? hmmm, i'm not sure. the one i got was genuine though. so im not, i fell inclined to believe it may be the camera flash thats causing these issues.

Sometimes even a perfectly careful assembly could mess up something. Maybe its just a loose cable or shorting something. It could be.
Any solution to it ??? I also have same issue? @salespalace

Turned out to be a hardware issue - despite replacing with a new camera port, still didn't work, - which told me there was an issue with the motherboard. sold the phone off. so no real solution. sorry.
Hi guys,
I have this phone since January and the front camera is not working. In fact whenever I open the camera app the front camera button is missing. I tried installing other play store camera apps with nothing good to happen. I also tried clearing cache,restoring a previous state etc. but could it be a hardware related issue? I haven't rooted my phone just not to void the warranty just in case it needs to be sent back in china or an official xiaomi service center for a repair.
Anyone else had the same problem?
Thanks in advance.
I have been the same symptoms. It did not help replace Rom.
The fault was the hardware. After replacing the front camera ($ 15) all works perfectly.
that great that u fix it:good:

In my Redmi note 3 the front camera is not being detected at all. How do i fix it now? I tries by installing other camera apps, deleting caches, rebooting the phone but nothing happened....please advise
Hello there to all.
I´m newly registered to the forum, although i´ve been using it to search, learn and use roms in my Samsung s3 for some time now.
I´ve bought recently a used S4 i9506. At the time i tested several key points of the device to check if it was all working, however (and don´t ask me why because i cant explain it), i completely forgot to test the cameras.
My problem is the following. Everytime i try to access the camera it says that camera failed or something like server connection failed. I´ve tried every single resolution i could find on the internet and so far all failed to solve it. The problem seems to be in both cameras, i think, because when i try the code *#0*# both Mega cam and front cam give error. Here´s what i tried so far:
- Soft Reset/Hard Reset/factory reset;
- Cleared cache both from boot and manually erasing cache from com.sec.android.gallery3d;
- Tried 3rd party camera apps from GooglePlay;
- Tried the RestartCamera.apk;
- Tried 3 different firmwares for i9506;
- Tried rooting it and then flashed several different roms;
- Switched the rear camera with a new i9506 rear camera module that i bought;
- I cant also test the cameras, because when i use the code *#34971539# they bring a menu on which i can´t use almost every option (see image);
http : / / rghost.net/6Zby4zXFD/image . png
Anyone have any other possible resolution?
I´m thinking on maybe buying a front camera module. Could that do the trick? Could the front facing camera not working properly make the rear camera fail as well?
Thank you for the attention to all who took the time to read.
So far 60 people read and nobody answered. ... is it because you don´t know what else i can do? I´ve been reading the problem may be from the motherboard. What can i do on the motherboard to make things right?
Thanks again
Be patient my friend someone will answer soon
Hi,
I've got the same problem with my s4mini. Both cameras aren't working and all the solutions you explained don't solve it.
I'm thinking about buying another S4mini with broken Display in order to change the motherboard. This might be the only possibility to solve this......

Hey there m8.
I know the feeling, right?!
The thing is that for a faulty i9506 model i could almost buy myself another motherboard and mount it, but i was hoping to find some other solution, maybe even some electronics expert opinion on what i could do in the motherboard to make it work again. There are some videos on youtube that teaches how to change some components on the motherboard to solve problems like dead smartphone or constant auto reboots. Also, finding a faulty i9506 model isn´t as easy as finding a regular S4. :crying:
Thx for sharing the problem and for the opinions,
and greetings from Portugal
Today i've changed the mainboard aaaaaaand -> cameras still not working
So i started to change the front cramera and the ear-brightness-sensor from the old s4 mini with the broken screen into my working one. And now both cameras are working again!:good:
I think the cause is most likely the brightness sensor which is combined with the ear speaker. This could explain why both cameras are not working.
I'm not completely sure due to i changed the front camera also. However changing the main camera did not do anything as mentioned above.
Maybe i should mention: A few weeks ago i've changed the earspeaker-brightness-unit because the speaker wasn't working anymore. Right after this both cameras stopped working.

Thank you for the update on your situation m8. That could be some relevant information there. Can anyone confirm if the sensor is the same for all s4 models? If so i could find more easily one from another s4 model and try it, for the sake of desperation.
cheers
Hello.
Some years ago, my screen died and becase of I had a good motherboard, I bought another H815 to sustitute the screen.
Then, some components like camera or speakers did not work, so I tried to use the components that came with the H815 I bouth, instead of use the components I had in my old H815. By this way I achieved my phone to work fully.
Some months ago, my motheboard died, and I bought a new one(I think new) from Israel in Ebay.
I had the same problem, this time, only with camera. I tried both rear cameras I had. With one unit, the app show that this don´t work and with the other I only can see strange and purple lines. In both situations, the front camera works well.
Something that is difficult to understand to me, is that in some apps like whatsapp, one of the cameras works in some occasion ( I can see all well, but too vertical purple lines on white things in the image).
I tried apps like google camera or to installing the native lg app too, but I can´t do anything to solve the problem.
Anyone know how to know the compatibility between cameras and motherboards in H815 terminals? I tried to bouth a third camera but I had the same problem. I know the cameras are not damaged and work in other terminals.
Do you think if it is possible to solve this installing a different rom on my H815? I tried different rooms on my old first gen Motorola Moto g, but I have any experience with H815, can you guide me some, if you think that this is a possible solution?
Thanks a lot!

I changed my m/b too on my G4 from a seller in taobao (815t->F500) It works great, camera were fine. So I think it might be you camera module or faulty m/b is at fault... cos changing m/b should not cause any problems.
