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.

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 an A500 that is (generally) stock - was rooted prior to 3.2.1 but is running stock OS now. This past weekend, all of a sudden it appears there is dust or debris on the rear camera lens - there are small dots or smudges on the lens and the camera will not focus beyond a very close (macro) range). I called Acer because it is still in warranty, but I also went ahead and cracked open the case and tried to clean the camera and lens cover - no luck. I think there are fewer smudges but they are still there.
Here are my questions :
Is there something else I can do to clean this without shipping it back to Acer ( I would rather not be without it for ~2 weeks)
Assuming I need to send it back, what should I clean off the unit to ensure there are no "out of warranty" findings from when it was rooted ?
Doe they have any markers inside the case to determine if someone has cracked the case ? I didn't see any, but am curious what others have to say ?
Thanks in advance for your help

i had a similar issue with mine: the rectangle of glass surrounding the raear camera was getting filled with dust from the inside. since that piece was loose, i pried it off, wiped it clean with a dry clean cloth (i used what i use to clean my glasses) and stuck it back on. it was only glued on so its still loose, but the camera quality is much improved.
it sounds like you have a similar issue, and your camera is focusing on the specs on the glass instead of what you want it to focus on. i don't know if you want to try taking it apart or not, but those are my few cents.
Not the outer piece
So I did crack open the case and the specks are not on the outer lense cover (i.e. the one that is visible from the rear of the camera. By viewing the camera with the rear cover still disassembled and separated from the unit, the specks are still there so it is either on the lense itself (again which I have tried to clean as well, or the digital pickup (CCD?)).
I'm stumped. Any ideas ?
Hi Guys
Alot of users find that the m8 camera is crappy and takes bad pictures..well youre about to change your opinion!
I'm here to deliver a tip discovered by +Chris isEnlightened from google+
Get a couple q-tips. And a bathroom.. I'd start with one q tip. Just touch it to the toothpaste to get some on it. You don't want a lot.. go in the same direction and apply pressure in a circular motions, basically buffing the lens.. then add a tiny drop of water and repeat the process.. like a wet sanding.. then take a clean q tip and go over once more.. then wipe off.. you should be able to see the film that's over the lens come off in the middle.. open the camera lens and look to see if it's clean. An easy way to tell is with white objects. They will be fuzzy and glow and appear "soft"
and this is it .. 2 minutes and you camera will improve forever and you won't need to do it again. basically it's a very thin film on the lens that need to be scratched. it can be done to front and rear cameras.
You can find before and after pics in the attachments
Yeah .. we know

I noticed my camera lens was scratched all to hell the other day. My pictures weren't fuzzy like your samples, but I was worried they would get that way if the scratches got worse. I went the toothpaste route as per your instructions and it worked like a charm. Nice, clear camera lens, just like new. Thanks!

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
