Front camera blurry - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I noticed the s4 front camera isn't as sharp as the s3 or note 2. Anyone else with the other phones that can compare.

Defective Front camera?

My 2 day old gs3 has a purple dot on the FFC. It's in different camera apps and shows up on pics on the opposite side (makes sense). Anyone have this issue? Should I exchange?

I know it's small in the pic but it's bigger while in the camera app.

Cant focus on note 2 screen?

Hi all, just purchased a note 2, and i am havibg difficulty with the screen, i find it blurry and hard to look at, compared to the note 1 which is crystal clear to me, so it cant be my eyes, soon as i switch back to the note 2 uts just blurry again.
Pictures are fine, but the menus are a tad blurred, and writing is terrible.
My device or all note 2's ?

Sounds like your Note has a fault, screen is definitely crisp and beautiful to look at as well as read from.

Its just I read online that txt is not as clear on the note 2s screen, I really need to compare it to sombody elses rather than send it back straight away.

Ok I just changed the font and its a tad better, but its no where near as crisp as a note one. Bigger and more colourfull yes, but not as good for txt and reading.

Initially I had the same impression that my isn't as crisper like my S2, but on the duller side. I've attached a full size landscape screenshot, do you think it looks dull or non crispy?

Mind sound silly but there is a small protective piece of plastic over the lense that, after 3 weeks, I finally found/removed it.

I would have to agree, I think you need to see if the plastic protector is still on the lens. I removed mine about 3 days after I got the phone. I was taking pics that looked exactly like yours do, and finally found the clear plastic protector and removed it.
Cannot locate a plastic protector on my lense. The galaxy s4 did have one though.

I'm with you, the camera on this phone sucks ass. I don't know if it's software, hardware or combination of the both. Takes too long to focus, whether image stabilization is on or not, trying to take pictures of your kids? Forget it with this camera, images come out too blurry. I like the smooth motion option on the video camera though.....

Yeah, I saw a thread not too long ago that it's a manufacturing defect, but I rooted with one of the first ways to available, so, tripped knox
I think its the case causing the ghosting and light bleeding. I can see reflection's around lenses bezel and plastic case.

The phone isn't so great at taking night shots with flash IMO. A bit too soft and not as sharp and clear as my s4. The only solution I found was to use another camera app for these type of shots. I settled on Camera Awesome on the play store. Pictures come out the same and sometimes better than my s4 with night shots with flash.

I just tried the Camera Awesome and all it did was say I needed to insert an sdcard before using the camera ??
No other apps have this memory issue
Just took a picture in daylight a cloudy day and check out what the duck looks like! Unreal, total over exposure on the white. Was set on auto with no flash.

Aside from plastic on lense, a couple other things to keep in mind/check:
Camera Mode (Auto, Night Mode, etc)
Focus point (ie. when you tap on screen to focus the picture are you focusing on the actual light or the subject that you want to capture)
Cleaned lense (sometimes a dirty or scratched lense will produce noise images)
Case, which you mentioned (have you tried taking same or similar pics not behind windsheild and without the case in question)
Last, but not least, the camera comes defaulted at 9 MP (vs 13MP advertised). Have you tried setting camera to 13MP and seeing if the quality differs?
Those are all things I would check/keep in mind. My indoor performance hasn't been stellar but I know it depends on scenario. Also, using flash at night will always negatively impact your photo quality.
I would take it in for an exchange. Dont mention anything about if you tripped knox or anything. Just show them the images. I for one bought this phone for the camera and love the pics. They blow my wifes iPhone out of the water and when compared to my bosses LG G2, I still think the Note 3's is better. Sounds like you got some hardware issues.
I was focusing on the duck when I took the image. Will try with case off. I cannot locate any lenses protector on lense. It was clean. Thanks for the tips

Front cam

Is it me or the front cam alway seem fuzzy driving me crazy?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
it also distorts the image like fisheys near the top and bottom.. it's the worst front facing camera ever.. Never buying samsung again. S6 does the same thing..
their camera commercial should say "Look Nanna gained 100lbs!"
Ok thank god maybe that why I fell in love with the 6plus cam
