Hi Everyone, hope you all are doing well. Im dealing with this very frustrating issue where my camera wont focus, or it takes forever to focus. Even on the snapchat app as it shows on the video. I thought it was some app related issue, so i fully reset the phone thinking that would fix it. But it didnt help. Any tips or suggestions please, anything would be appreciated.

btw i searched the forums but i didn't find anything sorry if there is a thread about this already
i also hv this problem also... please help us..
~i thought it is bcoz of the spare part apps. then i try to set it default. but it still same..
BUMP. Help us please
I have the same problem.
As a workaround, if you slide the camera/video slider, the Tab switches back to the camera setting, and the viewfinder is displayed.
I have had some other problems with my tab, like crashing apps all the time, I made a hardreset and now everything is fine. You may test it and report here.
i had the same problem with the camera app. sliding the camera/video slider doesn't help.
so i reboot the tab & its working fine now.
regards,
mike
Yup, i know, after reboot, the problem gone.So, if like that, everytime i face the problem, i hv to reboot. How can like that..
I am facing this issue too, any fix?
Damn now I'm in the boat, but I think I know why this happens, my camera doesnt show black screen or something, it shows the last viewed youtube video and if I switch to video cam, two youtube vids are shown.
So may its caused by the new youtube app?
So, all hv this problem by using the new youtube app?
How to revert back to previous version of youtube? Where can get the installer?
I also have the problem its not cuz of youtube app, it happens with videos that you watch any video from any app.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
i have the exact same problem..viewfinder gets stuck on the last frame of the last viewed video, and only a restart can fix it. Any news on a proper solution for this? I hate restarting the phone...
cam problem
Hello devs plz helps all with tis fix of viewfinder we are waiting for it, every time we use video call, u tube, play game, this freezes the view finder, looking forward to fix from you ppl, no hopes from samsung as usual
thankx in advance
I had the problem on the camera of SGT as well 3 months back. However, I sent in my SGT for an upgrade of firmware due to other reasons (not because of the camera issue). And the problem has gone forever.
When I encountered this problem back then, I tried rebooting, clearing of memory (RAM), it goes off for a while, but it came right back, especially when you view YouTube. It is quite annoying.
So, my advice to you guys is to send it to Samsung for a firmware upgrade, it just takes less than an hour. By the way, my SGT is stock ROM.
I'm currently on stock zvc rooted with twrp from autorec. I have been using Jishnu's 4k cam mod for a while now and its worked perfectly fine but all of a sudden my camera lost the ability to focus. It did this a couple days ago and I tried restoring camera from Jishnu's camupdate apk and then reinstalling and also installed xdabbeb's 4k cam and it wasn't working but after 15 mins or so I went back to the camera and it was working again. This time though I tried to do what I did before but it doesnt have any effect on it. I no longer have the stock camera files does anyone have them so I can try that out? A flashable zip would be even better if possible. Other then that does anyone have any idea what I could do besides tot'ing back which I'd rather avoid if possible?
Did you try another camera app to make sure it's not a hardware issue?
If I helped you, please thank me
got a stock non rooted d803 and camera just wont focus as well
takes nice close up pics but anything further than 2 inches and its out (even manual focusing doesnt work)
tried other camera apps and no joy, went as far as factory reset and nothing
LG and phone company tech advised bringing it in for replacement

Sorry for the late reply didn't notice I got two replies but I had tried google camera and another random camera before
and they both wouldn't focus at all. However my camera is working now I went and tot'd to stock 4.4.2 but the camera
wasn't working immediately after doing that it still wasn't working so I was afraid maybe the hardware was broken. But
after installing the 4k camera mod and doing some messing around with the camera and then leaving the phone alone
for a while with the camera app running in the background it works again. Its very weird I don't really understand it what
threw me off as well was after running titanium backup to restore apps/data the camera was still working so I started
setting stuff up. I noticed the xposed installer was not up to date so I went and updated it and then rebooted the phone.
After that I checked the camera and it wasn't focusing again at all. I figured xposed might be the culprit so I went and
uninstalled it then rebooted but it didn't have any effect the cam still wouldn't focus. So I reinstalled and enabled it and
did the installing 4k mod messing with camera and leaving it alone routine and after a while the camera is working
again. Very suspicious I'm at a loss but I went and did a nandroid backup while the camera was working so if anything
I can restore that and hopefully fix it.

Sorry for the late reply but my camera still isn't working properly. Whenever I open a camera app its all blurry and it won't
focus what I have to do everytime I need to take a picture of something is shake the phone around in different angles and
sometimes hit it near the camera region lol. I find that after giving it a good shake/hit it'll start focusing again. I don't know if
that means theres a problem with the OIS interfering in some way since the lens can move around and stuff so maybe shaking
it makes it focus correctly but its annoying.
I would go bring the phone in for repair/replacement if you're covered. I would do it myself but I plan on getting the G3 soon
anyway so don't really need to fix this one. Hope it works out for you though.
Hello everyone!
Recently got a S4 after I had 3 S4 actives fail on me. All is good and well, but the front camera has really nasty lag issues. I fixed this for the stock camera app! All I had to do was disable the night detection mode. HOWEVER, the issue is still present in Instagram, Snapchat, and probably any other third party app that uses the camera. I did loads of research and only found stuff posted here and elsewhere from around 2 years ago, none of which have any sort of solution listed, it's just a bunch of people spouting out, "Same issue here!" or "My phone is fine!" etc.
Anybody have this issue and fix it, or encounter anything about it? It can be determined it isn't a hardware issue, as the default camera app works fine.
EDIT: Also want to note that the issue is only present in low-light situations. The specific issue is that it appears as though the image feeding to the screen is being smeared around when the objects in frame move, or if the camera pans or tilts.
Thanks for the time anybody takes to read this!
I am facing Camera Autofocus issue. its not working. not a single image is clear. all images are blurry. tried 3rd party camera apps. factory reset. wipe-cache. please give me some suggestions what should i do to solve this problem. front cam is working fine.
(note: phone is not rooted, tried Oxygen 2.2.1 and 2.2.0 but still no solution ...
help appreciated ...
I have the exact same problem. I"ve already sent it to one plus but they didn't fix it. Could you tell me whether or not you've fixed it?
I know i had blurry pictures.. but a lot of my sensors were broken. E.g. auto screen brightness, rotation, gyroscope etc..
Are yours working correctly? Download CPU-Z from the play store and look on the tab sensors. If there is no information, you're into the same situation as i was.
It is fixable though.. i'm working on a solution. But if a lot of people are experiencing this, Oneplus' help might be usefull.
I'm facing the same problem, have also sent the device back to oneplus, didn't change a thing. Anyone who has found a solution?
Hi guys, I have been dealing with s8 camera problem for months now and decided to ask before I smash my phone into the wall.
Problem looks simple, I start recording and it randomly stops. Its followed by quick flash(the one that you see when switching the camera on) and looks like camera is restarting. It happens after 2,5, 10 seconds or sometimes doesn't happen at all. I recorded a video of my baby and after 20s I found out that recording stopped and I didn't get anything. I tried to use a camera in safe mode, seems to be working fine there.
Does it mean that some apps interfere with camera app? Also tried cleaning the cache which didn't help. Is there a way to find what apps are causing the issue? Is factory reset best option in my case? I would add that I can see those weird flashes even when I'm not recording and camera is simply switched on.
I would appreciate any help guys. Thank you.
Do you try some other camera apk ?

Yes, they worked fine and didn't have any issues. I would like to use an original app tho because I find it much quicker and less complicated. Wonder if it's maybe related to Samsung cloud sync. I'm just too scared to factory reset lol
So you are saying that U never tried to solve the problem by doing a factory reset? That should be second thing on your list, after restarting. xD
