Recently I found the camera fails to focus in various occasions. The image in the viewfinder stays blurry no matter how I configure the camera app (stock/3rd party). But it can capture clear close-up shots so I assume the camera is somehow fixed at macro shots. To fix this issue, I have to open something like Barcode Scanner (which will continue adjust the focus) and leave it for a couple of minutes. Then the camera will be working again for a few hours or so or until I reboot the phone.
Does anyone encounter the same issue? I would like to know whether it is hardware or software problem.
PS: I am pretty sure this is nothing related to any sort of settings/configurations.
It happen here, too...

Check your macro configuration.

As I said I am sure it's nothing related to configuration. It's more likely to be related to software (if not hardware, which is still possible).

I have this problem with third part apps too.
I have no problem about this.
No matter I use stock camera, vignette or camera360, it focuses normally.
What camera app are you using?
Sent from my Milestone 2 using XDA app
i have no problem at all. whether i use the stock camera app, or cameraFX, my camera has no issues focusing at all.
since nobody else is actually experiencing the problem, it might be something related to a fine setting, or an application thats interfering with your camera app. why not u try a hard reset and see if solves the problem?

Thanks for your reply. Goggle often freeze and cannot focus normally.
The picture will be blur when I put the camera about 30cm away from the targets using goggle app.
Do you have the same problem? I don't know whether it's a software problem or firmware problem.

I saw many ppl meet this problem on Chinese forum even using the internal-camera app.
I think it's firmware's problem.

its quite odd that different firmwares seem to pose different problems: ie from what i noticed those running GB and EuroRetail versions seem to have a problem with the responsiveness of their hardware keyboard. AsiaRetail has a bug issue with the contacts search, and now the ME722 with a camera focus issue. what i have seen with my camera is after a reboot, when i capture a picture, the picture ends up being captured, but the capture animation freezes until i hit one of the soft keys. not really a bother but its still an issue
really, it all boils down to the same argument, that Motorola and MotoDevs really need to address these issues in fixes and updates, cuz really though some bugs arent that annoying, certain ones like a malfunctioning keyboard and a non-focusing camera can be a real pain in the a**.
@ the person tho started this thread: why not you try to flash Argen2Stone ROM? perhaps that might solve your problem?

Sadly, I am currently using Argen2Stone 1.8, but still experiencing the problem.
I tried to flash back to UK2.2, which the phone came with, but still no luck.
The "barcode scanner" trick temporarily solves my problem. Yet who wants to run it for a few minutes before taking photos?
I swear I won't purchase any Moto smartphone in the future. They simply ignore customers outside the US.

Hi all,
Need some good advice/help.
Not sure when my camera seems to be blur & really blur. Thus the picture taken are blur too. I tried to adjust the setting, but all is fixed at 5.
I found the problem when i am using ROM 2.2, even i had upgrade to the 3.3 (version 13) i still have the problem.
Is this a hardware or software problem? Thanks!
Don't know if this helps but the lens has a macro facility if its turned to the flower all photos will be blurred unless the subject is really close. Try turning the lens to the dot and it should be ok.
Hope this helps

I have searched a lot but unable to get a perfect answer. Does anyone knows about this? If you dont know that is working or atleast know about what is not working that would be of great help.
Thanks in advance...
I have been using it daily for about 3 weeks now, and I honestly cant find anything that isnt working besides the camera and multitouch (which doesnt work on any ROM).
Maybe someone else can chime in here, but bottom line the rom is awesome!!

You said that camera and multitouch not working. Is is that camera is not working at all? Please clarify. As far as multitouch I am aware of it.
Everything is working for me and to be honest I am enjoying it more tan I ever thought I would. Not sure what are the problems experienced with camera, mine is working fine. Pictures are not as good as the one taken through Android that I have running off SD, but videos sure are great.
Having problems with XAP... anything because installer doesn't work for me. Both versions supposed to do the same job, in fact. Both claim the phone is either not connected or is locked.
Multitouch works fine for me - pictures are zoomed by pinching etc.
The Camera Issue was common on the HD7 that flash caused a green hue to pictures taken... As for MultiTouch its hit or miss.
For XAP problems in Mango (7720) you need to dev_unlock it using one of the files in Yuki-XBOXMOD CAB Directory that has a long list of cabs for Mango..

Used all the necessary cabs, tools etc - still no go
The camera does have a green hue - tried it last night at the party. Everyone looked like zombies that were dead for some time, haha. Will switch to Android on SD for photos.
- Camera takes greenish shots when using Flash.
- Using the camera button (call button), the camera doesn't focus and just takes the snap leading to blurry snaps. I dunno if this is a WP7 issue or not.
- Video Camera seems to have Continous Focus so in dark scenes it focuses and unfocuses every 10 seconds. Disabling auto focuses removes auto focus completely so thats not an option either.
This is for what I've seen. Its still 99% functional despite all this.
i got the same issue showed in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz27tAD1IBQ
Can anyone please tell me if is an hardware or software problem? Shell i use warrenty and contact asus? Thx
The only way to identify it as a software problem would be to change the kernel, or maybe even ROM. But it will probably be a hardware issue.

in this way may i'll have problem in case of warranty? I dont know asus warranty behavior
Do you observe multitouch issues in other applications, or are you assuming that because you can reproduce the effect in that video that you have a problem.
If you enable developer options on the N7, and then turn on (Settings -> Developer options):
- Show touches
- Pointer location
can you reproduce the effects shown in that video? (Probably you need to do this on a blank homescreen or maybe viewing a picture or something so that you are not launching apps).
[Edit] I d'loaded a free market app "Multitouch Visible Test" from the market - it looks like the one in the video, although I can't be 100% sure. There are a lot of those kinds of apps in the market. FWIW, I couldn't reproduce what was demonstrated in the video. Not sure if that means anything though. I'm on rooted stock 4.2.1

i observe multitouch problem durin broswer and photo pinch to zoom. So i download the same application of the video and i understand to have the same problem! :'(
Today i'll try to flash a custom ROM and Kernel. If the issue will persist i'll go to saturn hoping is a quick sostitution. I dont want to send my N7 to ASUS.....
I have not get rid of the issue changing kernel and ROM but it has improved a lot with the combination of Franco kernel, Cm 10.1 and some tweaking in kernel parameters. I also noticed that enabling Force gpu in development options made it go better. I have read somewhere in this forum that all Nexus 7 have the same issue and it will be solved in 4.2.2. I hope it is true.
Hi guys,
I am hacing a problem with the autofocus on the default camera app on the nexus 4.
Before when I clicked a picture at the last moment it would make sure the camera is in focus before snapping a picture.
But now it just focus hunts with the focus shifting back and forth and the final result is unacceptable.
I want it to go back to the way it was before.
If I use another camera app like say the ever note camera it works perfectly fine. I'm only having a problem with the default camera.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot guys
Its the way it is.

I understand your problem, but IMO it is not really a problem. Just tap on the object you want to focus and then tap on the circle to take the picture.
Just tapping on the Circle sometimes keeps the focus and sometimes not. its better if you tap and hold for a while before you release your finger.

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I just installed a custom camera app instead and its working like a charm. Its called QuickSnap.
The funny thing is that the default camera used to work perfectly fine before the 4.2 update.
Great!

Thats good, I myself noticed this thing on the stock camera app. but then again just few more taps fixed this but yes I tried Snap Camera
there no such issues with that, even on Instagram camera.
But I don't know why i feel that stock camera app is the best.
Cheers!
I'm having this big problem too.
Any of you guys notice that sometimes when using the flash it'll show the picture as overly bright right after you take it? but once you view it in the gallery it looks normal

Nope, i've searched everywhere but nothing.
On stock gallery for no obvious reason screen rotation when viewing pictures can become very slow. Is anyone else facing such an issue?
Hi !
Yes, I was just looking for that, and found this post.
Now we're officially two facing that issue :/
EDIT : it's actually in every app that rotates, not only in gallery.
True that..it happened after 4.4.2 update..

Hey, I have the same problem, the screen rotation was ridiculously slow (3-5sec) in every app.
However, I just contacted Samsung about this issue and they said that a factory reset would solve it.
I'm gonna try that now and after I'll let you know if it actually worked!
the stock samsung gallery has always been horrible and slow, since my first SGS2 to my actual SGN3 n9005.
I solved the problem by switching to quickpic from the android market. its free, no ads, the same functions (and some more) and most importatnt: it's really fast! just try it, it's only a few KB I think, and it's the perfect solution for me!
