Hey dudes,
Here my problem:
Since I first modded my Defy, I lost camera auto focus capability. Have you any idea how to solve it?
I can't read barcode anymore.
I'm using a Pays rom 5.1.
Thanks!

u tried uninstalling the app and then reinstalling it again?
I have a similar problem with Pays 5.1:
Mostly the camera works but the picture is cut somewhere (rest of the screen is in the color of the last pixel recorded correctly I think) and the screen is frozen for a few seconds until the camera works again (picture is not saved)
and sometimes the whole picture is black or very dark (saved, but useless).
Maybe this happens because of an error in this rom?
I don't know, but I tried to uninstall and then reinstall the application, but it didn't work.
It seems that CEE and UK roms don't use the proper AF setting..

I'm using 3.4.2-155-CEE in Barebones 1.3 and it's ok. There's jpeg fix on the Barebones thread (on the latest pages), but i don't know if it can help, since Pays use 3.4.3-11
I flashed 3.4.2-155-CEE (no custom rom, no data) and took about 20 pictures - no error.

I have the same problem with S.Froyo Cee Edition.... Sometimes i can not take a picture because of freezing screen with the lower part painted with plain color. Sometimes it's ok. When i was on a factory firmware 3.4.2-155 there were no problems with the camera....
I am using official french 2.2.2 update(since my defy is from france). I've updated it trough motorola defy, and my phone lost auto focus. On 2.1 there was the rectangle and when it gets green the camera takes the photo, now it just snaps without the focus.
:/
I've tried camera 360, and auto focus works there, but I need a fix for the stock app. :/
EDIT: I've went to Settings/manage applications/Camera and clicked on the Clear Data, and now auto focus is back!
hi all.
i had a similar problem: after update from 2.1 to 2.2.2 (cee stock both), auto-focus stopped working. tried the "clear data", but without a success. i didn't want to make factory reset, so i tried "fix permission" from rom manager. at first, it threw an error, because it didn't find the busybox. installed it to "/system/bin". after that, fix permission run without an error, reboot, and focus is working again.
just for record
Hello,
I am using French 2.2.2 stock rom and since the update from 2.1, I lost the autofocus. I tried to clear all data from the stock camera app but it did not work. I also tried fix persmissions from Rom Manager as said above but with no luck.
I noticed that the autofocus does not work with Camera360 and Barcodescanner either...
Any clue on what I could try (without a full reset which would be my last resort ) Thanks!
same here
I have the same problem since Cyanogenmod 7.1 flash.
I tried the "clear app data" method and the "fix permissions". Still I can't get any focus.
Some help please ?
Thanks
I have the same problem, neither the clear data nor the fix permissions didn't work...
Hello,
same problem for me, so that programs like prixing or barcode scanner don't work properly .
Thanks
Very annoying problem, I tried everything.
Factory reset, fix permissions, clear cache.
I have WajkIUI (Miui based custom rom) and the 2 camera app do the same. Auto focus is dead.
What is your opinion, it this a hardware related issue?

I can tell you (from personal experience ) that it is possible for the camera module auto focus to break, the camera will still work "normally" but just won't focus.
Mine is/was a SoC module, so I've just been looking to see if I could find a Bayer module to replace it. I haven't found one yet though....
Have you tried going back to a stock ROM yet?
I didn't try jet.
Is it possible that the rollback solve this issue?
I don't even know what is my camera module, but when I arrive to home I will check it.
Well it appears that it might not be the actual camera itself that is broken, I've just replaced mine and the autofocus still doesn't work
I've tried flashing stock sbfs, and also all the suggestions above as well, so I was "sure" it was the actual camera that was broken.
I have absolutely no idea what to try now. Maybe the power for the focus motor in the module comes from a different place to the main camera power?
Does anyone know how to get more detailed debugging information on what happens when the camera is told to focus?
Even if you press and hold the camera soft button it will not focus and give you the green square?
How about booting the phone.. is there any clicking sound from the camera that it auto adjusting itself?

No, whatever I press, the green square never appears, and there is no clicking sound during boot.

Did you manage to get a Bayer camera module from SBE like you said you were going to try in this thread?
The video camera function on my camera is no longer working and I’m not sure why. This phone is less than 5 weeks old and I have already taken videos with it. This upsets me because I have a 4 month old that I love to record especially when it comes to his firsts. The led flash light comes on when I push the video button, the screen switches and freezes. The message saying error prompts and when I close the camera, the led light will remain on until I reopen the camera. Hopefully you can help me figure this out, many thanks!

Which indicates you have been making changes to your phone related to video. Did you remove that or are you still using it.
Without knowing what your phone condition is in, it is very possible that other changes you have made is causing the problem as well...

Most don't need to update their modem and if you installed software that modifies how your phone works, you might try turning them off or uninstalling them to see if they are the cause of your problems.

u could try booting in safe mode and test if theres any app or tweak that is causing it. or u could enter Service / Test / Hidden functions by dialing *#0*# on your phone dialer and u gonna get to the service mode and check camera itself. also theres another one of those USSD codes that brings u to check the phone gadgets hardware /firmware version to see if it same as the camera app... u could also do a full factory restore from recovery screen if nothing else works remember to do a backup first @ titanium backup.. or if you have fair tech skills u could remove the back cover and remove the battery plate and check if tje battery connectors are in place im sure u could find a note 3 tear down video around.. i had the same problem but with the frontal camera and ended up been the camera was defective and replaced it and worked like charm
I know this thread is kinda old, but since it is on the first page on google's query, I'll post a solution here (found on another site).
The solution is to turn off the phone and remove battery for 10-20 seconds. This should resolve the issue.
Some users report that the issue occurs when you charge your phone via PC or laptop USB port. So, to avoid this, prefer original charger.
thanks
thank you for replying even if the post is old! it simply worked while i was about to sell my phone ! good thing i saw your reply first!
Did you ever find a fix?
I don't use my camera flash much, so I'm not sure when this started, but all photos taken with the flash have an orange cast or tint to them. In the flash preview before the actual picture, it looks fine, but once the final flash/photo is taken, they're orange. I tried several other camera apps, and they all behave the same way. The only way I could get a proper picture with the flash was to install camera zoom fx, and put the flash in torch mode, then, pictures turned out looking ok.
I was thinking it might be a hardware issue, but the pre-flash is ok, and the flash light is ok. Looking at the flash when the picture is taken, both LEDs light up.
Has any one else seen this issue?
I have an Unlocked US HTC 10 with the stock software (1.96.617.20), and HTC Camera (8.10.779478).
A bit more testing, it seems to only happen when it's fairly dark. And looking at the room when the flash fires, it's very obvious to the naked eye the flash is actually orange, so I don't think it's a camera white balance issue. When there is some additional ambient light, the flash pictures seem to come out ok, the flash itself does not have the orange tint to it.
Do you have a case on the phone? If so, try it without the case.
Had the same issue and like Rolo42 said above, I took off the Ice View case and tried it with flash in an almost pitch black room. No orange tint this time.

This is with no case.

So, I've played around with this a bit more. I think the issue is when it uses a not full powered flash, that it gets the orange tint. In a completely dark room, the flash is fine. The initial focus flash is fine. It's just the flash with some ambient light that is the issue. For what it's worth, I only see this issue when I have the flash forced on. If it's on auto, and it selects to not use the flash, and I then set it to force the flash is usually when I see this. I've tried on both MM and now Nougat, with the same results. I was kinda hoping the upgrade to Nougat would fix this.
So I was looking through my past pictures looking for a specific one, and I noticed that this orange flash issue has existed since I got the phone. I don't think noticed since I usually only took flash pictures for things like the state of the plumbing under the sink before I tried to fix something. I hadn't taken many flash pictures, and when I did, it wasn't something where I much cared what it looked like, other than that I could make out what was going on.
As a result, I've done a chat with HTC, and when through all troubleshooting steps sans a factory reset. I doubt the factory reset will help it, but if it doesn't, the HTC rep said the next step was replacement under the Uh-Oh protection.
Orange tint
Did you fix your problem?

Yes and no. I ended up getting a replacement 10 about a year ago. The new phone didn't have the same problem. So I have a phone that works, but I didn't actually fix the phone that had the issue.

Having the following issues with my camera. When I open my camera app the screen is very dark, I can just make out the ceiling lights if I point the camera at them. Does not matter if I am in the front camera or rear. When I switch to video, it is opposite, way too bright. Have tried several resets and several different ROM's to no avail. Any thoughts? Also cannot get computer to recognize phone in fastboot no matter what I try, so I cannot get back to stock. Have tried all of the SDK stuff and redownloading drivers. Not sure if the issues are in any way related. Currently running Pure Nexus

I have the same problem, after install cm14 the camera app is very dark and video very bright
Help please to find a solution
Do you use a custom kernel ? I have got seem issus when I used one, but no problem with other or stock ...
I'm having a similar problem where the camera app is too dark and the video is too bright. I'm using the stock camera in the stock Pure Nexus Android. I've tried installing another camera app and it had the same issue. Not sure what to try next. Help.
I am on MIUI 9.6.4 and the issue is that video call works fine as long as i am outdoor in sunlight but as soon as i move indoors no matter how many lights i turn on the camera result in video calls (skype, whatsapp etc) becomes really really poor although in stock camera app it works fine without any issues. If i open windows or door and sunlight comes in than even indoor camera start working fine in video calls
So i am curious to know is it a a sensor issue or firmware issue?
If you are wondering why i am on MIUI 9 instead of 10 that's because the video call in MIUI 10 sucks even more.
TO rule it as sensor issue, can u try different camera app ?
also you may consider flashing persist.img via REDFOX Recovery.
*persist.img can be found in FASTBOOT ROM

It works fine on different camera apps and it works just fine when trying to take pics indoor or outdoor using these 3rd party apps like whatsapp and skype etc but as soon as you go for a video call using these apps indoor the camera becomes so poor no matter how many lights you turn on and no matter how fast is your internet. The camera becomes normal during video call outdoor or as soon as there is some sunlight in the room even if it's through the opened windows.
Can i flash persist.img from latest MIUI 10 into MIUI 9.6.4 or i have to flash exact same version? Is there any risk of bricking involved in flashing persist.img?

It doesn't seems like sensor issue to me, but some settings in the app to recognise scene as always indoor...
about cross flashing Persist.img of MIUI10 to MIUI9.64 ~ I would NEVER suggest anyone to try that... because each FASTBOOT rom of every version has its own persist.img. (I don't know whether its a standard copy of the Original file when Device left factory.. or it has some incremental codes helping latest rom to explore more features )
but in either case, it should not be done...
