Hello,
Does anybody have had a bug with the OnePlus 5's camera where it can't focus anywhere?
This issue happened to me three times, the last two times the camera came back to normal after a few minutes/an hour (the third time is right now while I'm writing here).
Is there any way to fix this bug? This is really bothering me as this can happen when I really need the camera.
To knowledge: I'm not rooted, I'm not using any custom ROM. I'm running oficial Oreo 8.0 and this bug happens with any app which uses the camera beyond the stock camera.

Whenever i open my camera app, the displayed image will not auto focus- it remains blurry no matter how long i allow it to readjust. The only way i can get it to focus is by shaking the phone vigorously- then it instantly auto focuses. Anyone else experience this or other problems focusing?
Has this always happened? Did you just get the phone?

i got it about 2 weeks ago, and i'm not sure if its always been this way- i never messed with the camera until after i rooted & flashed a new rom. But i do notice the problem on 2 separate note 4's, so i'm wondering if this is a rom specific issue or something others have noticed as well
Try using a third party camera app and see if it makes a difference.

Same thing is happening with my wife's Note 4 camera. Tried DL'ing 3rd party apps, and that didn't work. Shaking it vigorously for about a minute did work, but who wants to do that every time you need to take a pic, especially since we have a 1 yr old. Anyone have any luck with settings? I don't want to have to go back and return the phone, if i can help it.
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,

Problem with initial autofocus
I have the same issue with autofocus. When I open my camera is out of focus. When I a shake the camera it goes into autofocus. This has happen every time so far. I just purchased my a note from an ATT store on Dec 19th. I read on another forum a user sent his back to be fixed. They said it was a software update issue. My question is will it be released to every one soon?
Same issue here. 1 week old note 4.
been using my phone for a month and this blurry back camera is happening lately !!! it was ok when I bought it !! really annoying
Wipe off your camera before opening the app. I'm serious. The rear camera has to be clean or it will try to focus on whatever is on the screen in "close up" mode. It even tries to focus in on fingerprints! I'm dead serious. This was bothering me for almost a whole month before I figured it out.
A lot of you may have already messed with settings, etc. So, reset your camera settings to default, close your camera app (completely by clearing it in recently used apps) and then clean your lens and launch the camera app.
Felt like an idiot after struggling with this so long. Now I just know I have to wipe the lens off before launching the app every time.

This does not fix the issue we are experiencing.
Unfortunately, it's a hardware issue and you need a replacement. You can tap the phone on your hand and it will focus correctly for awhile but it needs to be replaced.
Note 4 af issue
Besides shaking, i noticed it needs sufficient light for it to be calibrated properly. And of course this is only temporary. Not sure if there is a fix for this problem. Bummer
i had issue with kitkat but only for a object in movement. It does not focus object. i compared camera with a Xperia Z1 and it seems to be better than note 4.
I've got the same problem when shooting in macro , the problem is gone when i've updated on lollipop.

You have right. I am waiting for new note 4 from Samsung.
Yes ur right. But this problem started after upgrading to lollipop
Hi, I also have this issue. In the past I never got this issue. I am not sure if this happen after upgrade to Lollipop or not.
But I believe it is not hardware problem as it not happen all the time.
I open camera app and it cannot focus for a while, then I exit from camera, and re-open it again immediately, it can focus.
If I lock and left the phone for a while, let say 5 minutes, and open camera again, the issue come back again.
Is this because software issue like the camera app need to prepare something in background before ready to focus (causing lag before focus) and when we put it to sleep( lock the phone and left for a while) then we open it again and it need to prepare again.
My work around is, if I face camera focus lag, I immediately exit camera app (pressing home or back button ) and re-open camera again and it no lag on focus!
Hope this help you.
First i am sorry for my english
My problem.
When i use the flash to take a picture in low light or darkness my pictures come out black or reaaaaly dark.
The flash either goes off to fast or is to short. It only seems like a micro second.
When i focus the camera it does emit the light to focus.
The solution i found.
Well to be honest i have no idea how to use it.
It is some sort of code and i am a complete idiot at that
I am running
(Stock) Android 6.0.1
Kernel 3.10.61-8140803
Build number MMB29K.G903FXXU1BPE2
Camera firmware is stock
CAM FW version K16LLIA00SM
Load FW version K16LLJA01SC
PHONE FW version K16LLJA01SC
I am getting very annoyed by this problem and the fact that i spend 3 hours searching for a solution i cant apply had me mad as hell.
Edit: forgot to metion i tried all options i could think of with the camera setting. Even downloaded a 3rd party program called camera vf5
I am hoping you are able to help me

I am trying different ROMs which are based on LOS. I was on AOKP and no using RR ROM. Both roms had issue where the camera begins to vibrate while trying to autofocus. Has anyone else experience this?
Yes! It happens very frequently on LOS and rarely on stock ROM. I believe it's a driver issue since it happened on stock a couple of times.
It's the OIS motor. Not sure how much strain it is durability wise.
I happens around 80% of the time on LOS for me. I have to switch between front and back camera a couple of times to fix it.
I thought I was the only one, it happens to me on stock as well. I shake the phone to try to fix it and usually works.
Any software fixes available??
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.

Flash Nougat better known as Android 7, and upgrade to 8 or 9
Hi everyone, this is to request to fix a weird issue. I have flashed following roms for my G4 plus(Xt1643) : Invicta Os, RR, Pure nexus, Hexagon os. There are various versions of these roms available , I have tried them all and many a time their new updates.
I always make a clean fresh install just to be sure. The thing is whatever rom i flash I have a weird issue, that of camera. Whenever I use camera, the device gets very heat up, and while using video recording it lags like hell. It fells like it has skipped a million frames.
And many a times device gets shut down while it got heat up. I have tried many camera apps with these roms like snap camera, moto camera, motorola camera, google camera, htc camera, cameringo, footej camera.
Only footej and cameringo seem to work, but sometime they also show the same issue. And auto focus in cameringo doesn't work in video recording mode, but works in footej.
The thing which surprise me the most is everything works fine in STOCK rom!! Otherwise I would have thought it as a hardware issue. I have used enough stock rom and I flash custom roms sometimes just in hope that this time the issue will get resolved, but no luck.
I don't want to use stock rom anymore. Please suggest me a custom rom which doesn't cause this issue; if anyone else with this issue got any fix PLEASE HELP.
