[Q] Camera not focusing - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys ! :victory:
I'm on this ROM using my I9505 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272 (4.3 Google Edition custom) ; and I have a small problem : my camera app doesn't even try to focus at all, and take sometime to launch
I've tried to erase its data and to launch it again but same problem :s
So, is it caused by the ROM, or is it possible to fix this problem in any way ? (My device is rooted, and I can use Titanium Backup if necessary)
Thank's for helping ! :good:
ps : It'd be cool if I hadn't to flash the whole thing again. I already have configured so much things :angel:

Has anyone any other suggestion pleeease ?

Is the lense clean? Make a backup of current Rom and flash a stock TW Rom to test the camera hardware. If it works on TW then it's your current rom and you need to either change or full wipe and start again.

might be hardware problem, last time I had a faulty i9500, exactly same problem as yours, no focusing at all. I sent it back for a new one.
They say it's problem related to loose connection or sth.

Camera not working (NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA)

Hi Guys, I have serched the forums for my specific problem but came up short... trying this for seconds...
I have a HD2 wich I've installed NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.6 (Kernel: tytung_HWA_r3.4)
I have followed every step and everything works fine, EXCEPT the camera.
The camera app never fully loads and just stops responding with the screen going black as the only result.
"camera not responding, do you want to shut down? cancel or yes"
any tips?
I'm new to this forum so Im not sure what other info I should provide, so here goes.
Version 4.0.4
BaseBand 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
Kernel 2.6.32-ICS_tytung_HWA_r3.4
Mem 420Mb
(The camea works just fine with WP7, WP7.5, Windows Mobile orig)
Help would be much appreciated
//The Major
Just wanted to add that the phone is a EURO international HTC HD2
So noone can help?
Do I have to reinstall everything and hope for the best? Or have i got a broken device??
easiest wat out of problem is to instal different camera app,try cameraZOOM works fine on my hd2 running on same rom but 2.4
or reinstall rom again.
this should realy be posted in the correct thread,you would probably get more accurate
answers from folk running the same rom.
hope this helps.

Ok, I'll try the app approach... I'll reinstalled the orig ROM oand camera works, I installed a GB ROM and the camera works. I REINSTALLED this ROM and camera works up untill the point of where i actually take a pic - then the camera app shuts down... video seems to work..
I cannot post in the ROM thread - because of forum rules...
Thanks for the tip though - I shall try it.

No doesn't really matter what cameraapp I install, the camera shuts down right after shutter (when the pic is written to storage)
with the message "sorry the camera app had to shut down"
Seem to be the GB approach I'll have to go with...

So I went and tried this ROM:
PARANOIDANDROID HD2 v1.5b [TABLET/HYBRID][CM9][A2SD][tytung_HWA_r3.2]
And everything works... how weird - because it seems to be the same kernel?? apart from HWA_r3.2 in this ROM and 3.4 in the ROM that doesn't work... for me it's a headscratcher - I mean I really want the "NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.6 (Kernel: tytung_HWA_r3.4)" but maybe with the 3.2 kernel instead...
how to go about and get that one??
For me everything works just fine. Same ROM same device

I kinda realized that it's not neccesarily the ROM but mor with the Kernel.. I'm trying som different ROMs and different kernels, and the result varies...
Kernel: 2.6.32-ics_tytung_HWA_r3.2
ROM: LeoKing 2.3.6
Camera works but batterydrain is a *****... and endomondo stops working...
will try the PARANOIDANDROID HD2 v1.5b [TABLET/HYBRID][CM9][A2SD][tytung_HWA_r3.2] but flash a different kernel instead of the tytung one!!
I do realize that the phone will never work as good as with a winmobile original RUU.
Hey try out the new version from tytung. Works like a charm.

What I mean is that I have got the NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA_V2.6 working - don't know what I did different to maki the camera work, but it did... so I'm laughing.. But now I'm worried that I'll screw it up by installing a v2.7 ontop.. or wiping and installing...

[Q] New X-UI does't have camera?

I just tried the new x-ui posted by coderzs. Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098193
Unfortunately, it seems the camera app is missing. I have done a full wipe before flashing the rom. Anyone has some idea?
It seems like a clean fast rom that I would be sticking with if the issue can be fixed. Thanks in advance!

Make a nandroid flash back to stock and see if it happens
If it doesn't you know the phone is fine
I dont want to flash the whole system new
When device is plugged in for loading the battery the function with flash works fine.

Well if you're not willing to trouble shoot. How do you expect to fix it?
Yeah i know what you mean I hoped it could be fixed without flash all new
1. Make Nandroid and Back up with Titanium or whatever you use
2. Flash a stock or different custom kernel...but I'd try stock 1st
3. Flash back to stock to rule out hardware.
4. Try a different Camera App
5. Try a different ROM
raise your voltage level.
under voltage too much.

i have the same problem with my samsung s3 neo
my camera is working before until I flashed it with some random ROM region
now I can't use my camera. I don't know what to do, should I download another region of rom and reflash it instead?
because I'm still hoping that it can fix it.
for sure its not a hardware defect.

Serious issues with my i9506

Hey all,
I have few serious issues with my i9506 mobile that i really would be glad if you put some time into helping me solve them.
I'm using CM11-201501250=NIGHTLY-ks01lte, Android version 4.4.4
Mobile freezes a lot, almost 4+ times a day. nothing responses and i have to reboot it to use it again.
Video recording always have a bad sound quality.
A lot of apps crashes and launchers too.
Over heating (but not much i can do about that i think)
I been using CM11 for long time and i am gonna try to upgrade to CM12 now. all i want is a running CM version with exposed framework.
So please help me fix these issues

so phone still stuck... what now
Okay i used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597058
and now it's working and downloading apps backup via titanium backup... will check the issues again and update u guys.
Thanks a lot for the help
Okay phone got stuck on samsung logo again... so now i redo it... and gonna use this kernel https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/de...Lollipop/3.6.3/arter97-kernel-i9506-3.6.3.zip
