Constantly auto focusing when recording - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I have a little thing that drives me nuts for a bit. Whether this is something that is from my end of the phone
So I just got my SSD and went on recording the boot time. When I record the screen my phone constantly blurred out and re-adjust which is clearly visibly on the video. It isn't constantly sharp but instead tried to re-adjust even with the smallest of light.
How can I fix this? What I also wanted to know is why my video camera has a flash option. I just tried it enabled but nothing happened when I pressed record.
Hopefully you guys can help me out a bit :fingers-crossed:

Camera freezes after taking picture

Hi Guys,
i tried to search in the forums but could'nt find the answer to that.
When I take a pic with my HD, first everyting is alright. When the shot is taken the picture shows and the the small windows-thing appears in the middle of the screen and does'nt leave anymore.
After a couple of seconds (sometimes never) it's gone, just like my taken picture. Actually I can't take any picture with my cam, that annoying!
Has someone the same problem. It happens with all resolutions and settings in the same way.
Thanks
Christian
Yes! Something very similar happened to me just last night. I was using the video camera function to record my son's wrestling match. I had taken a few recordings of other matches, and then on the 4th or 5th match (a new file for each one) the recording suddenly stopped after a few seconds. Then after that the camera application was very slow to respond and had a black screen. I tried turning the camera program off and on, and tried doing a soft-reset. Nothing worked.
Then of course my son's match started and I figured I'd try to hit record even though it was a black screen and just hope that it was recording anyways. After 10-20 seconds of the black screen it suddenly turned on and was recording.
And this morning it's working find again, although I haven't tried taking more videos to test it out.
I'm using the panora Black Pearl 1.4 ROM.
me too, me too. It seems that this issue happens when I start to have many things in my phone (both in terms of software installed and taken photos). Waiting for a good explanation and solution to overcome this problem. I also notice that the videos taken are now not able to play, since I always have to use Core Player
I has this same problem.
If you have Advanced config installed make sure that you have
Encode photos in portrait mode set to : No under camera settings
This is funny because default value is YES and that freezes camera
Thanks a lot for the hint.
works perfect. now I got my cam back ;o)
You guys are just amazing!!!!!!!!!
I was about to hard reset (thanks to winnerzero who sent me here).
Saved me a hard reset!!
brilliant...
Thanks a lot to Kohozga
Your hint just saved me from hard resetting my HD.

HD2 Autofocus problems

Hi all,
I've had my HD2 since around Christmas time and I love the device, but I've always had a problem with it's camera. This is not the usual "Pink cast" problem which I know is well documented, but rather a problem with the autofocus. Sometimes when I'm just playing with the camera it works fine, but most of the time (usually when I really want or need to photograph something) the camera cannot focus. It TRIES to focus, I can hear the lens moving and the image on the screen goes from very blurry, past the point of focus, back to blurry again and then the camera takes the photo blurry. It seems to be able to focus on my hand or anything else I hold very close to the lens, but anything else and 9 times out of 10 it will not focus properly. I've found that usually if I reboot the phone it will work for a while but then I've missed what I was trying to photograph in the first place. I was wondering if anybody else has experienced this problem with their HD2?
Here's a few points I think are worth mentioning:
The handset's ROM is the standard one that came installed when it was new, I have never upgraded it or patched it (I know there was a patch for the camera but as far as I was aware this was to try to fix the pink cast problem, correct me if I'm wrong).
The problem occurs in all lighting conditions.
Touch focus is enabled but touching the screen results in the same problem, it tries to focus but fails. I feel that this is very likely to be a hardware problem but then on the other hand, why would restarting the phone make it better if it's a hardware fault?
Any help, input or shared experiences will be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Hey i have the same problem! i wanted to send my HD2 in to get it replaced but they said it was a software problem i dont really think so tho.
It would be really nice to see someone dev an app or a new rom that fixes this problem.
If i hear anything i will post what i know.
Hi,
excuse my poor english.....
I had the same problem with original italian ROM (1.66) until this summer.
On my device I have two applications that can increase the picture sharpness (BsB Tweaks, XTHackBeta2).
In these apps I enabled the "increase picture quality" but my pictures were always blurred, especially when there was plenty of sunlight.
I tryed to contact HTC Costumer service, they told me to have an hard reset but it did not solve the problem, also without no one applications installed on device.
It might seem stupid but, after that, I cleaned kindly but strongly the camera glass and I set the resolution camera to 1 Mb, making pictures and check how autofocus was working, then, step by step, I set to 5 Mb on camera configuration with Super fine quality pictures.
And I disabled any increasing picture quality on every apps (BsB, XT Hack)
It could be a miracle but I had never had the problem of autofocussing and pictures became very detailed and brighted
Same problem for me. Have a german 1.72 t-mob ROM.
Reducing the picture quality is not a solution for me.
In my case the problem occurs every time I try to make photos of any documents inside rooms, but with good light conditions. I need about 5-10 trials to make one well focussed photo. It's equal if I use autofocus or not.
If I go outside I can make very good photos from some natural objects, even when they are very close.
I enabled camera Superfine in BsB Tweaks.

Slow Camera?

I was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem or possibly a solution for me. I have the h990ds and its stock with the latest update installed. when i launch the camera either from the icon on the home screen or by the shortcut by double pressing the volume down, it takes at least 2-3 seconds to open, sometimes more. i don't really experience this issue with any other apps (i say really because once in a while an app may take the same time to launch). Also, when actually snapping the photo, it often takes the same amount of time to actually capture, on auto and on manual mode. Finally, the viewfinder image is really, really choppy with a very low frame rate until i start shooting video, at which point it looks fine. i am hoping someone else can help out since i dont want to root or flash custom roms to get the performance i see others having on videos online
thanks much guys
Did you ever figure it out? Mine sometimes takes 5-10 seconds to load. Once it was over 30.
Try uninstall or force stop "One Drive:. It works for me.
yeah the cameras slow. if the screens off, it's bc of androids ****ty doze feature. it's such trash.

What is wrong with S8 front camera autofocus

Hello. I am new owner of S8. As they claim front camera now has autofocus so selfies will be now "sharper" .
I dont know if I just have wrong model but when I am doing selfies really close to front camera they are really sharp.
However if I move camera little bit further it start re-focusing almost all the time. If I touch on the object sometimes it helps a little bit but it still not good.
The best result I could achive, you can see on the photo (and I tried many times and others were even worse). The text is totally unreadble. It is same with faces, but you can see it better on text.
I compared it to much cheaper phone Honor 8, which does much sharper photo without any autofocus.
Does any of you have the problem, or it is just me?
I tried restore camera setting but it didnt help.
Thanks for feedback. (cause I have no feedback from samsung )
I got the s8 plus and for me the front camera is beast! I know back on the s7 the camera was eh and the keyboard lag was real so I got the edge. It could be the camera or you could be snapping the camera too fast. Takes a sec to grab the image.
Do you have selective focus on? This mode will blur background to simulate portrait mode with telephoto lens on DSLR. I find it useless, but stupid iphone has it so why not galaxy?
Mine is not 100% sharp either (however much better than yours), but I have low light now and get shutter speed of 1/24sec, it's hard to hand held photo at 1/24sec without some shake. Need to retest this in full sun tomorrow.

Hi, no I dont. And this is another problem. When I try to do picture in this mode it always say me something like "Picture was taken but the effect of contrast cannot be used because no object was reckognized" . So there must be something defenetly wrong.
And when I was doing photo I was waiting more than 5 secs to focus but the result was still same. And I put phone on the table so I didnt move with it at all.

Thats sounds similar to message I got when using selective focus. It tells you that it couldn't recognize your face so the effect wasn't fully applied (in selective focus that effect is to keep sharp focus on face and blur everything else). Seems like you have some effect enabled and that could be your problem. I never got any msg, except for selective focus, but didn't have much time to play a lot.

I tried factory reset as a last option and it still didnt helped. I reviewed lot of videos and pictures of S8 online and for sure mine is behaving different. Probably I will have to take my S8 to the nearest service..
Sounds like you do have a problem. I used my S8 and stood back and the picture was focused. Closer ones have always been focused.
I had the same issue, but really don't know If what I did was the fix, because this issue was happening every time I open the camera app after a while (like half an hour) and I had to knock my phone just to wake up my focusing sensor or what ever it called, but after I:
- re-enabled all the disabled bixby apps.
- stopped using my car magnet holder - so it never gets too cold because of the car's AC and never gets attached to a magnet.
after that, camera never miss-focusing anymore, now more than 3 hours.
So please, if anyone had this issue and:
- not using any magnet holder.
- not disabling bixby apps.
- not having the phone too cold.
please tell us to be aware.
I know it's not logic, as long as I can use the camera normally after I knock the phone, so it might be a hardware problem, but I'm sharing my experience with you just to find out the fix.
Thanks
Update: Nothing from the above was the issue, still; miss focusing, even after a factory reset... waiting for July update and see if they will fix it.
Hey there, I too have an issue in front camera of my galaxy s8 when I put it too far then it shows blurry image but when the camera is nearby the object then it shows some good quality, but not showing as much good as it was showing before .
i have the same issue. But the camera works when it wants to work... but sometimes is blury (most of times)

Lg g6 problems with videos.

Good morning, I have a problem with my LG G6, the camera shakes a lot when making videos, especially at night. The stabilizer is on, but it still shakes a lot. Videos are running out of view. I can not remember, but I heard a firmware update on 5/12, I do not know if it was after this day that it stayed like this because I have little time with the device. Do you have any options to help me?
No problem with video on mine, in low light the wide angle lens is the worst for stability and exposure compensation -but the standard lens is fine, especially if you use the flash.
If it started after an update then most likely you have a conflict or driver issue, so a factory reset is advised.
I already did and did not solve
