Hello!
So here is short story:
I bought Mi A1 last year and everything worked normally. Few months later i dropped it somehow and camera glass broked. I am waiting for glass to arrive any time soon so i can replace it. But there is strange problem.
I switched to manual mode in camera app and tryed to focus manually (from macro to infinity). Everything worked normally on first lens.
I did same thing on second lens (focus manually from micro to infinity) and what i saw is that its not focusing at anything, its just stuck, nothing. I didnt modded this phone in any way (i did installed Resurection Remix but i flashed stock rom long time ago, like in first week i got it, but thats about it)
Could be that my telephoto lens auto focus mechanism died? Could be that its about glass thats broken? I hear motor trying to focus when i adjust focus (thats normall). What should i do if my telephoto lens still dont want to focus even after camera glass replacement? What are my options? Should i back device to shop after repairing and say that was issue since i got this device? Because its still in warranty?
Edit: Forgot to say that i am on stock latest Pie, issue was there in Oreo too, but i am 100% sure its not software issue.
No one?
Try to move the lens with a pen tip and see if it moves. I've just tried now my camera and works fine. Maybe the shock caused damage.
Okay so litle part of glass on first lens just fell out and i can see first lens, i tryed to adjust focus on first lens and what i saw is that camera moves up and down when i am switching focus (moving part). After i did that i realise that glass on second lens (telephoto) did penetrated a bit to lens, so i think that maybe glass just blocked telephoto lens from going up and trying to focus, and only thing that can help is to remove glass and free the motor, could be that problem? I bought camera glass from Ali Express month ago and still waiting to arrive.
Here is photo if it is from any help
Just get rid of that mess man, it's no use that glass it makes things worse for your phone. Crack the camera open and try again

a few days ago i noticed a pinkt spot in the middle of the cam.
has anybody else this problem ?
A lot of smartphone cameras have this issue, and the LG camera module is not really an exceptional one, so I wouldn't doubt if such problems would occur with some, or all...
No dots in my camera....
I have a line right accross photos. I thought it was some sort of lens flare but it's there all the time.
Wipe your lens with a lens pen, or a glasses-cleaning cloth. Do not put any time of moisture or liquid on it.
Hi,
Yesterday I noticed that that camera as a problem with black dots in all photos and videos. Now there are no spots on the back camera glass or anything.
I am attaching photos for your viewing pleasure
Can somebody please identify the problem with it. Is the camera lens it self damaged or some particles got underneath the glass cover that I can't see or is it a software problem. Also is there a way to take off the glass cover without opening the phone so I can clean the camera lens?
Please help me out guys, this is really very disappointing.
anyone ?. .
Send it to service center.. I had this issue once and it is not dirt cause i tried too clean it out too by opening it..
I got this from abroad its warranty isn't valid where I am now. Any other solutions ?
somebody please help, This is really annoying.
I have the same problem too, mine has 2 big blurry dots It is annoying when I take pictures in high lighted places, in the low light environment it doesn't show up.
Is there any way to open the lens to clean it?
same problem here, seems like some kind of dust got in the lens part, im going to watch some videos of ffc mods to see if it is possible to clean the camera lens.
Edit:
Found the solution, seems like the lens is scratched or something, doing a ffc mod will fix it as the ffc is attached to the 5mp camera, just buy a i9k camera from ebay and mod it.
@AkiraRyu good luck and let us know what happens, Also do see if its possible to lift the glass without opening the phone. Some pictures would greatly help.
I made small dots on the the camera glass to see if they gave the same result but any thing on the glass comes up very blurry on the picture. This definitely is something on the lens it self but its also highly unlikely that its a scratch maybe dust or maybe somethings wrong with the camera.If only there was a way to lift the glass without opening the mobile phone.

yes, its quiet easy , i opened to try to clean it yesterday( i think vibrants and galaxy s interational are the same in the back).
First watch some front facing camera mods videos in youtube (ffc vibrant mod) to see how to open it up, you only need to get the 7 screws out and take out the plastic plate , REMEMBER to pull off the microsd card and the gsm/3g chip!.
if cleaning the lens doesn't work (like my case) you will have to buy a camera replacement, i recommend the i9000 camera so you also get a ffc. it costs in ebay 24USD (dont know the shiping to US as i live in another country) it comes with a plastic thing to remove the plastic plate easy and 2 screw drivers.

Good and bad news:
Opening is really easy, used my fingernails to open the plastic plate, after you get the plastic plate(not the back cober) the plastic protecting the lens also comes off, i cleaned it (A LOT) and the violet dot thing was still there.
there are 2 solutions... 3, first do nothing and keep the camera as it is(no way!) , second buy a vibrant camera replacement , or third (and best) buy a i9000 camera replacement.
In the third case you also get a front facing camera because the 5mpx camera and the ffc are connected, the look petty much like this:
androidsfinest .com /wp-content/uploads/2010/09/i9000s-camera-close-up-150x150.jpg
in the vibrant the ffc camera is cut off the 5mp camera and the place where the ffc goes is painted in black. the cameras are the same, lot of users on xda have moded their vibrants, search on youtube for guides on how to do it
i recommend : FIRST make sure to pull off the gsm chip and the microsd card (if you use one), use a ordered and clean place to do it, get something where to put the screws( lost one because i chose a bad place to put them).
Still waiting for a solution :s. I don't wanna open my new phone takes away all its glory.
I have recently bought my new galaxy grand 2 on 1st june 2014, but when first time i opened my camera it was too blurry,its camera display even the pictures and video was so blurry and still is.. I did removed the plastic cover from camera lens and flash. will it come in warranty? cause it looks like its a manufacturing fault. I had read in samsung warranty that it does not cover normal wear and tear of camera lens, but it got bad camera since the day i purchased it, it does not look like 8mp camera at all.
Check your settings in camera settings.. make sure focus is infinite and not set to macro...
Make sure you touch on screen to focus on that part

make sure that you have removed transparent cover on your camera's lens..
I could not find macro in camera settings,there was no such option.
yes i had removed the plastic cover from camera lens but no use. Still that blurry display n pictures n videos .. will it be under warranty or not? cause samsung's warranty does not cover normal wear and tear of camera lens. but this is not a wear and tear. The camera is blurry since the day i opened my phone from the box.

YES, it will be covered under warranty. An often overlooked issue other than settinh=gs is finger prints on the camera glass, leading to fuzzy pics. please check that as well.

Hi, I spotted a couple of motes on my rear camera lens. The long story is that those motes weren't there before I send my phone to the Huawei Service Centre that took them more than one month to fix my cracked camera cover.
So instead of sending it back to them and deal with their utter crap service (they didn't covered me with the warranty for the cracked camera cover) and not having my phone for another month I decide to dismantle the cover myself with the proper tools and clean the lens, the result is that I managed to clean one of the motes (up right corner) but the other three dots that can be easily spotted in the middle and another one in the left side were not removed.
I tried to cleaning it with air to remove dust, a lens cleaner solution applied to a cotton bud and a brush for cleaning lenses... And none of those solutions were able to remove the motes/dots there.
I'm starting to consider that the lens could be damaged (thought it doesn't looks to me like a lens damaged effect) or there is liquid solution or something stick to the lens that I can't easily remove (maybe they damaged it when they were repairing the cover)... It also looks like they are not in the same exact position, they are slightly moved in the two different images.
Any ideas?

Same here, i think its on the inside of camera lens, because cleaning didn't help. Ebay has 6p camera modules for sale.

I know that this is a really old thread - but how did you resolve this issue?
My 6p has a speck of dust that I realized probably a month or so outside of warranty. I started doing things in my life that involve A LOT of picture and video now -- and I finally noticed the speck of dust. Now, it's really obvious (mostly because I know where to look for it).
Was yours fixable by taking it apart? Or did you have to order a new sensor?

Hey, mine wasn't fix, I've been living with that until now, taking it apart didn't help, recently I took it to a Huawei service center for another reason and they told me that my lens was damaged inside so... You may have more luck than me and be just dust.
I have noticed a weird problem with my camera. It's an H872 purchased new in box about 2 months ago. It's rooted but running stock Oreo - only a couple Magisk mods (Systemless Hosts & Viper4Android).
Anyway, when I take a close-up picture with the flash, it looks good. When I take a distance photo with flash, there is a blue and/or hazy look to it. It makes no sense. It happens with any camera app I've tried. I've attached samples for reference.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
Do you use a glass / plastic protector on the lens?
No. I hoped maybe that one came on from the factory (that I could remove) but it doesn't appear to have anything on it.
Sometimes it's happened because of protective case which is too close to the camera lens and it scatters the light, sometimes it's happened because of dust inside the lens or sometimes only few scratches on the lens can make distortion like this. Check photos without protective case or check lens if it's scratched or there is dust underneath. You can try to boot in safe mode and check but I'd say it's a hardware problem.
Happens with or without the case. It may be a hardware problem, but then I would think the close up flash pictures would suck too. All other functions are working correctly. Also, using GCam with Night Sight works great too.
